One of the first things I changed when I got my nexus 5 was changing from dalvik to art runtime.
As an accident I was messing around and saw I was at dalvik once again. Set the phone to change to art, it says a certain library file has to be changed, restarts the phone and nothing happens.
The files that were converted the first time I change to art are no longer converted and I am still in dalvik mode. Clues?

I'm guessing you have Xposed Framework installed, which prevents you from switching to ART. You either have to uninstall Xposed or stick with dalvik.
AAAAAHHHHHHHHH 1 millionth post about the same thing award!!

I recently switched from Dalvik to ART, on Stock and Rooted (I can't get ART to work when I'm on a custom rom) and currently am unable to install apps from the play store... it just says "installing" infinitely.
Anyone else have this issue?

Same thing happened to me when I switched to ART, I even tried a third party app install, didn't work... I think its because some apps don't work with ART at the moment(whatsapp, pandora, etc.) I had to switch back to dalvik, and even then i couldn't install properly. I ended up restoring from a previous backup i made. What apps are you trying to install?

Couldn't even initialize the download for a file manager... probably means I can't install my .apks either. Went back to dalvik, I'll wait it out for ART to become more widespread
So on Saturday I made the switch to ART runtime and everything seemed to be working fine, the phone rebooted and all the apps were optimized upon restart, a couple days ago I noticed that my phone restarted although I may have accidentally restarted it by mistake while it was in my pocket.
So right now I'm trying some stuff to lower battery darin and wanted to switch back to Dalvik, I go into the developers options and Dalvik is selected as the active runtime, I selected ART again because I thought it was strange since I never went back to Dalvik in the first place, I click ok after selecting ART and my phone reboots but it doesn't optimize anything, it restarts as normal and when I check the runtime it's always Dalvik.
Any idea what might be happening here? Why can't I switch to ART?
Did you install xposed framework? If so it only works on dalvik and it won't let you use ART. From what I've heard you need to run the xposed disabler zip to fully uninstall it

copy /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process using a root file explorer. turn on ART.
After i switched from Dalvik to ART. I can't install NBA2K14 and some other apps because they're not compatible with ART.
So I reverted from ART to Dalvik.
Why is it that I still experience the error "App not installed.". After reverting back from ART to Dalvik.
Tried to Clear Dalvik Cache/Cache but still error is occurring.
Using Latest Cataclysm + Franco r30.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Thanks! Will do this.
Oddly enough, after upgrading to 4.4.3 by flashing the system, radio and boot partitions via fastboot, only 58 of my 130 apps need to be upgraded after a dalvik wipe, or a switch to ART.
This is odd, as a normal dalvik wipe, or runtime switch should trigger all the apps to require upgrading on startup.
Can anyone tell me what's going on? I am not experiencing any issues yet like FCs and what not, but this is still strange none the less.
Thanks in advance.

Does the same thing happen if you delete the files manually and reboot?
Yeah it does. Very strange.

Maybe it's only creating cache for apps that need to run on startup and other apps only create cache when launched

I was thinking that too. It doesnt seem to matter, because both ART and DALVIK only compile for the same apps it seems (59 in my case).
Could android be telling it to only compile for certain apps, and skip others? Very strange that this would be the case. Phone feels fine and there are no issues I can see so far.
I am stock, rooted, custom recovery, and thats it. No xposed, no mods, nothing.
Oh, well if your Rom is odex, then it won't need dalvik cache for all apps anyway

Hmm interesting I guess this could be the answer, but does this also explain why ART fails to compile all the apps?
Currently both ART and Dalvik compile a smaller number of apps than I have installed. The 1st time I switched to ART after the update, it compiled all the apps... then i switched back to dalvik and it compiled 59 of em... then another switch to ART would only cause 59 to be compiled.
Very weird. I think the system is doing this for a reason, but I am not sure which reason that is.
I can't speak about art. Dalvik-cache contains the information that is otherwise contained in .odex so if. Odex exists, there's no need to build a cache for that app

New in 4.4.3: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/dalvik/+/36e356c
If an .odex file already exists, then Android won't try to build a new file on boot after you switch from ART to Dalvik. Although it's not explicitly mentioned, I'd assume the same handling happens after you clear the Dalvik cache.

Where do i find the "select runtime" option? i cant find it in the developer options
This does not warrant anyone replying to you......

ART is now the default and only runtime on Android 5.0. You can no longer switch to Dalvik.

dalvik junk still available during clean up
if lollipop uses ART instead of Dalvik, why clean monitor application shows there is junk file on dalvik during cleaning up memory?
sorry for silly question

Because ART's Ahead-Of-Time "cache" is stored in the same place as Dalvik cache once was, and many applications simply have not updated their strings or bothered to check the Android version.
