1. Go to Settings > About on your phone
2. Select Software Information
3. Locate the Build Number and start tapping it repeatedly. This will unlock Developer mode
4. Locate your Developer Options under Settings and change your "Select Runtime” to "Use ART"
5. This will prompt you to reboot and do a 5-10 minute reboot.
6. You are using ANDROID RUNTIME
I have done this numerous times and it still doesn't work. I am currently using xposed, and I know xposed doesn't work with ART, but I have tried uninstalling xposed and all of the modules, but my phone still reboots into dalvik. Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

you are right it doesn't work with the xposed framework for some reason.

You must not be uninstalling xposed right. Did you go into the app and uninstall the framework?

Can't remember right off if I did that or just uninstalled the xposed uninstaller. I will give that a shot later. Thanks for the suggestion.

actually, for some reason it doesn't even get into ART mode anymore
Switched to ART yesterday and its working great! Whenever I rebooted my phone when I used dalvik, I would always get an error as soon as the homescreen came up saying that some google processes had an error. To fix, I would have to toggle airplane mode on and off. Not having that issue at all on ART! Its as smooth as butter...

For some reason I can't switch to ART. When I select that in developers options, it prompts to reboot but afterwards when I check it is still on dalivk. Any idea? Running purity rom with Franco kernel.
Check the purity rom and franko kernel to see if it supports art
Do you haze xposed installed
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Franco works fine. You'll have xposed installed so it'll just reboot back to Dvalik

Yes.
I had this issue this afternoon. Couldn't figure out why ART wouldn't activate until I searched.
Uninstall xposed, select ART, then reboot, and then when all of the apps have been refreshed upon boot up, reinstall Xposed.

I just checked again. Didn't notice that it switched back to Dalvik.
Xposed will probably never work with ART

A handy hint I have just discovered... Uninstall Xposed from within the framework first, THEN remove it from your phone... Apparently Xposed leaves "things" behind :/

Hi,
Yes you need to uninstall from Xposed framework to restore the original "app_process" file and reboot..., then nothing is left on your phone.
I have been rebooting my Nexus 5 when using Xposed Framework modules and for every perfect reboot I get a bootloop. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's frustrating that my Stock Rooted with Xposed Framework setup would cause bootloops and every time a bootloop occurs it eats up a lot of battery and makes the phone uncomfortably warm.
do you have art selected?
I have the same setup as you.....xposed never sent my device into boot loop. As the poster above me stated, are you using art or dalvik? I believe xposed does not work with art. Also, could using a module within xposed that is not developed for 4.4+ cause such misbehavior?

I use Xposed on all my devices, I've never had so much as a stutter from it, let alone a bootloop. You've got something else going on. As others pointed out, if you are using ART runtime, Xposed isn't compatible.

Yeah it's not that, I don't have ART enabled and on top of that enabling ART while Xposed is installed automatically sends you back into the OS and cancels the request for ART as a part of Xposed Framework, so I couldn't have enabled it anyway.

I wasn't inferring that ART was the only possible cause, just the most common. What modules are you trying to use?

GravityBox and Greenify. Nothing that should be causing this.

If you disable both mods do you still get boot loops? And are you using the version of GB that's meant for kitkat?

Still getting boot loops with both mods disabled, even went as far as to uninstall Xposed Framework to see if it would happen. I rebooted 10 times and it boot looped 3 times out of those 10.
Yes, using GravityBox for KitKat.
Tried to switch from dalvik to ART but on reboot it doesn't seem to stick. I go back into dev options and it still says dalvik. I'm on the original soak test, which shouldn't matter, but I'm curious if anyway else switch to ART and got it to stick. Thanks.
I've heard that happens if you're using xposed

I'll have to see if that works. Any idea if I can uninstall xposed switch to ART then reinstall xposed or do I have to choose to keep one or the other?
Should be able to. Don't mess with your modules, just install the framework in the app itself, reboot, and try it then.

Xposed doesn't work with ART (yet). The Xposed developer purposely has your runtime switch back to Dalvik upon reboot to keep you from going into a bootloop with ART.

Okay, thanks.
I have this same problem. I uninstalled Xposed, but it still switches back to Dalvik. Is there another app that can automatically switch to Dalvik, or did Xposed leave something behind?
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. It does leave stuff behind, it came to me that I had to hit an INSTALL button to install the framework, so i had to reinstall Xposed and hit an Uninstall button to uninstall the framework.
After i've changed runtime to ART every start up of phone is accompanied by error message: Google Play services has stopped.
I've wiped Play data but it didn't help.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

This is a known issue with google play services. There is an update in the works, and an APK is floating around that will resolve this, although the error only occurs on boot, and does not cause any negative effects beyond the single error message.

I've seen already 2 or 3 updates for Google Services, but my is still the same. May be this error occurs when it can't be updated?
I'm rooted, stock rom, stock recovery and my knox counter is 0x0.
I've enabled developer options and changed my runtime it to ART, it reboots and I go check it still says Dalvik, I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Any suggestions?

This doesn't quite answer your question but should read through this thread if you have not: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713879
Seems others are having the same issue as you. Since ART is still experimental on the S5 it causes screen wake up issues, boot issues, some apps to not work, and Samsung has said to use with caution because TW framework is not fully compatible yet.
Do you all think if I were to backup everything and : 1)factory reset 2)switch to art and then 3)root
Would that work?

Problem solved.. Here is what I did for future reference
1)Odined back to stock, then took it the otas to get to stock uprooted NE5
2)Switched to ART, no issue rebooted and was running art
3)Titanium backup was not working for me without being suuuper laggy, so I started to manually install all of my apps
4)Rooted my phone using towel
5)Realized that Xposed forces dalvik, and once the framework was installed it would revert to dalvik... Uninstalled framework and removed xposed
5)turned ART back on and have had no issue.... It definitely was due to xposed because that is the only app that I Uninstalled and have had no issues since

I don't have Xposed installed either, and still can't turn ART on. When the reboot finishes and I go to the Configuration, it says that DALVIK still on. Any solution?

I think, for whatever reason, ART is disabled in TouchWiz.
Every few weeks, my Xposed settings stop working. G4 Tweakbox, YouTube Ad Blocker, etc. To get them working again, I have to reflash Xposed and wipe cache.
Any idea why this happens?
