Depends on the apps that you are using: not all of them are compatible with ART. Also, xposed framework is not compatible with ART.

Use ART if u r on stock rom (not rooted)bcoz its far more smooth n uses less battery as compared to dalvik

All apps r compatible except xposed installer based apps n btw google is droping dalvik from 4.5 lollipop so get use to ART

For me I tried both. Art was faster but it wasn't that much noticeable so I stick with dalvik since I have more free space on that.

I'll change to art then ☺?. I know this isn't relevant to topic but is unlocking boot loader safe to do ? nothing will f*** up if I follow steps?

just changed to art, used up 0.4 GB of my space, didn't think it used up space to use art

Well, had to switch back to Dalvik as some apps went to bootloop after instalation (flipboard) and for some reason com.android.systemui kept crashing...
Im on stock 4.4.2 Retail.GB ROM.

I don't know what's the culprit. I only noticed that when installed Flipboard (and running ART) the system ui kept crashing. switched back to Dalvik, uninstalled |Flipboard and all ok now...

How did you manage to switch back to Dalvik while systemui kept crashing? Reset with all data gone or ADB sideload the "ART to Dalvik script" with custom recovery? Thanks!

Kept pressing ok on the display 4-5 times. Then was able to get to the menu and do the change. But it was still there after that, so did full wipe.

Well. .. I don't have too fast fingers, but at the end I sorted it. In any case there's always hard reset option. I don't mind that as storing everything on Mega and Drive.

HDR causing my camera to crash

I've searched through threads and I cannot find an answer.
I've installed Google camera apk on my nexus 5, and whenever I try to enable HDR my camera crashes. Then I have to clear camera data in order to use camera again.
What am I doing wrong?

There is a pa Google camera zip should be in the gapps thread. You have to have the stock camera on your phone then one from play store will overwrite it.

Please google something like Android recovery TWRP or CWM. It lets you install the .zip from recovery. Turn off phone, hold down "volume -" and press the power button.
This will get you into recovery. Always make a backup BTW before you flash anything. I will not be responsible for bricked devices.
Search recovery here in xda also.
Good luck

OK Google Fracked

Hey folks:
I use MyBackupPro as my maintenance tool. Upgrading to my N5 from my N4 MyBackupPro overwrote the stock launcher, causing OK Google to stop working.
Is there any way to get NOWs listener working again without doing a factory reset and/or installing the Factory Image?
I'm stock, and not rooted.
Thanks.

You didn't tell us which 4.4 version you have, but these links will help you man. I recommend trying the first link first and if it don't work, try the second link( I'm sure the first one will work).

Yeah, HOME only shows in settings/apps NOT in root settings. Therefore that selection isn't available.

403 error for new Nexus 5

Unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and Cataclysm ROM installed. I'm getting 403 error when trying to update or install apps from the Google Play Store, I've tried every major fix such as clearing cache on the store, removing proxy settings and reloggin my account. Any thoughts?

Did you perform a full wipe before flashing Cataclysm???
Is this problem occurring only while installing apps via playstore? or does it happen when you install a apk file as well??

Two things I'd do:
1) Wait...it could be a legit server error and nothing you can do on your end...
2) Use the wait time to learn how to flash Google framework.

1. I don't think so because I remember it updating when I first used the phone just two hours ago, before flashing anything.
2. Can't you be more jentle and link me?

Nothing as far as I can remember, only unchecked the messages thingy in google play store. The one at the top in settings for the app.
You can't do anything as I found out. You just have to wait it out. It's a Google problem not at your end. I just waited for 40 minutes or so and the downloading was possible. There are may users with the same problem

Are you on a deodexed ROM?
Edit: never mind what I said below, as it is incorrect... I must have misunderstood. Sorry for any confusion.
You can't use ART on the stock Verizon rom. They didn't include the runtime - or at least that is what someone reported right after the phone came out.

Not technically deodexed but it's no longer an odex ROM thus you break the function..

you need to be 100% odexed.
When I've tried ART in my other devices (note 3, LG G2) it really seemed like a waste of time. Wasn't noticeably faster, and broke things.

Any chance you are running xposed as well? ART and Xposed will not work together. Xposed will disable the ART option on boot if you don't disable Xposed first.

Hello, I got an annoying problem, some adware was installed on my S5, and I can't find it, I scanned with several apps and nothing was detected.

This is an image, I don't want, if it possible, to flash again the Rom

Try booting into Safe boot and install AV/AMW app. Usually holding the volume down + power during startup will do the trick
