First thing I did after signing in was switch to ART. If your going to do the same, I'd recommend you do it before downloading your apps. It has to optimize all apps on the device and I did it without downloading a single app. 324 apps. Took a while.

Not stupid at all bud. Unlock developer settings by going to "about phone" in settings, double tap "build number" 7 times until you see the toast msg that says "you are now a developer". Back out, go to the newly available " developer settings " and 3rd (4th if you count the first non selectable line) option which says "select runtime system" and change it to "ART". It will say Dalvik until you've changed it to ART. Choosing it will reboot your device and take a few minutes while sets up your apps for ART. It is possible that if could be incompatible with some apps but since it first released with 4.4, I haven't heard of this.

I think this sped up the start up time of the camera, which is still kinda slow. I just hope I don't have issues with some apps as I've heard of others that had to completely reset their phone to stop some apps from crashing even after returning to Dalvik and reinstalling the app...

No literally it looked like a flash counter notification stating modified... not sure of it unlocked the bootloader or not as I'll let someone else make that brick in error... it had a lock which showed unlocked though.

Yeah, not too bad. It looks as if they started to redesign it but only got as far as settings and quick settings lol. With Nova and Flatro icons, it looks as though it's how it was supposed to be done. One of things that was always first on my list after rooting or flashing was changing the appearance of the status bar/quick settings. I like them now so with Nova, I really like the appearance. IMO.

I don't wanna open a thread for this so I'll try it here, I can't remember the "official" name, but "quick glance"? Something like that. When device is asleep, you wave over it and it displays the time and notifications. The one " motion gesture " I use and I can't find it. Hope they didn't ax it.
Anyone know how to enable it? Can't find it in the gestures section... Nor can I find lock screen widgets.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know people are all excited to try anything different, but ART on this device just isn't a good experience (at least on a stock device). I really wouldn't recommend switching, as you are unlikely to be pleased.

Can anyone, more specifically anyone running aokp or another jb rom (I've only tried SkyJB and aokp) tell me if the normal Tapatalk app is having issues displaying images?
I'm using the free xda app and it's only showing me maybe 1 image per page, if that. It's really, really annoying.

Tapatalk does the same thing for me. Also annoyiong, at least for me, is that the 'last read' message is out of sync, I always have to go back a few posts to see where I was last.
Glad I asked before buying the app to solve the issue. I know it's not much, and I can refund, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
I figured the official app has had more recent updates than the xda app, but I wanted to see anyway.

So...strangely enough I'm seeing more pictures with CM10 than I was with aokp. Not sure if there's a correlation.
I'm having the same issue with xda premium on orthus 5 but didn't have any problems with it on liquid 4. So I installed tapatalk and now all images are showing up. Has to be a ROM specific issue but don't know how.
On Sky JB you need to uncheck GPU rendering in settings > developer and all images show up.

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Ok, any idea how to sort the list of apps in app ops?
well it seems ART has significant benefits to battery life and processing speed. is there any downside to switching the runtime on my phone to ART?
and i do plan to develop on my phone, should i develop on dalvik or ART? or no difference?
Yes, many apps won't work. ART is still a wip. I'd wait until it's more fully functional.

how do you check which apps will work with ART?
Not sure if you've read but it's still not the recommended DD, but of course it's up you

And ART only works with ODEX.
Nothing official but I just googled it and found a forum where people were listing the apps they found didn't work. I haven't had any issues with it. Loving it.

Mine's been doing it since the reset, even before I installed any apps....
ever since KK, WiFi passwords disappear and it has nothing to do with restarting, i even cleaned cache/dalvik just to see if that is doing it, nope...
Then the Active Apps widget, it is not really accurate in 3rd party launchers, especially if they have the feature to lock the homescreen, many times it shows 8 apps open, and not more then two are shown on the list.
For wifi passwords i used this method.. Second Post
