Does anyone recommend a rom? I don't want Xposed to use, because of ART.
AICP. It's my favorite rom out now. It has everything you need in a rom including Halo and Expanded desktop as well as its ART compatible
Super powered Nexus 5 running AICP/ElementalX
With the ability to switch between these two in KitKat, I'm wondering if anyone has, and how that affect performance & battery life.
ART for the win!!!

ive tried art and love it!! it could all be on my head but i swear my machines have never been more responsive!! there are some limitations though that you need to take into account. not all apps are upgraded to work with art as a matter of fact i love to use xposed installer to customize my roms and i found that when the exposed installer is installed your machine wont convert to art . so far thats the only app that i found will actually not let your phone/tablet change over. i dont know if its actually xposed or something else but anyway.. on my RAZR HD ART is noticeably faster. Just go to dev options close to the bottom you will find the runtime option choose art and wait for the phone to reboot and update your apps. if you find that the apps you use most often dont work you can alway go back to dalvik the same way you changed it to art. not sure if this is any help at all i tend to ramble at times. anyway yeah give it a shot and let us know what you think/
Yeah, I saw that in developer options, I was just going to try it, but I thought I'd see what others have tried. Guess I 'll give it a shot.

Just be careful. Not all apps work with ART. If you use the Xposed framework, it will switch you back to Dalvik.
Also, once you switch to ART, it changes your data partition, so if you decide to go back to a different kernel (for unlocked bootloaders that is), you MUST switch back to Dalvik and then reformat your data partition.
It seems the next release of Android has ART as the default committed in the source code, so it looks like Google is ready to go "prime time" with ART in the next release. I'm only holding back on it due to two apps: CoPilot USA currently does not support ART so I have to stay on Dalvik for the time being. Also, as mentioned, I use the Xposed framework with Greenify and GravityBox, so until Xposed works with ART, I'll be staying on the Dalvik for the time being.
No known ETA for when Xposed or CoPilot will work with ART.
There are more apps out there that don't work with ART. You can go to the compatibility list to see what is/isn't working:

But, if you have no apps that require Dalvik, I say switch to ART. It definitely is smoother and faster than Dalvik since it precompiles the apps upon installation rather than using JIT (under Dalvik) when you first launch it, so start-up times seem quicker under ART and the over-all responsiveness seems much snappier.
Hello,
I just wanted to know,
ART & Dalvik with one is the better??
ART is better in terms of performance and battery than Dalvik but does not support apps like Xposed installer. If you do not use it it's better to switch to ART.
Can you change the runtime on the z3 from dalvic to art? art on my nexus 4 is amazing and if its there on z3, i will instantly upgrade!
Don't believe it has ART capability. No option to switch from dalvik under "developer options"
Too bad i cannot switch to art
Will wait for a stable aosp rom or android L update
And i bought this phone already! ?
Here's my question. I'm rooted now and I wanted to know if I should be on art or stay with delvik?

depends on your needs. some things still dont work with art. only things i know dont work on art is xposed and i think screen cast with chromecast app. however i use art rather than dalvik because it is smoother for me.
