PSA: GS5 REALLY doesn't like ART runtime. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

One of the first things I did when I got this device was switch it to art before loading all of my apps, settings, etc. I could not believe how slow the phone was opening apps and running in general. Also, even though we have root, titanium backup would just not function. I wasn't able to freeze anything.
As I was about to return the phone and also after searching for a tibu fix I got the notion to switch back to Dalvik.
Problem solved. Tibu works, and the phone runs fast as it should in 2014.
I had read some people attesting to the great performance of art in some threads, so I guess ymmv, but for me switching back to Dalvik really turned things around.
I guess maybe the samsung engineers knew this in advance - maybe that is why the unlocked/tampered icon appears at the boot screen when in art runtime?
Either way. Hopefully this turns some people back on to the device who may have been on the verge of tossing it out a window as I was.

I was in ART mode as well and noticed some small issues with things not running right. I changed back to Dalvik and everything seems to run as it should now.

Same here, imo it actually runs slower than Dalvil, plus I had some issues with Titanium Back up and some other apps. Back to Dalvik. Phones runs great.

I've been running ART for some time with no noticeable issues. I've heard some apps have issues with ART but I haven't seen anything that bothered me. Perhaps your combo of apps did not agree with ART but for me it is fine.

same issues with ART
When I switched,:crying: chrome, my banking apps, Sirius radio and a few others were not happy campers. So I wood always send crash reports.

Take note how long apps take to open. The try switch runtime and compare.
For me the only app that wouldn't work as intended was tibu, but the actual speed of even opening up common apps such as Gmail was discouraging. On dalvik it seems to be almost instantaneous if not instantaneous.

I read this thread thinking I was on art. I then checked my settings to see I was on dalvik, and after changing it feels zippier. Idk I feel art is nicer imo.

I just realized that after trying to switch to art and having the reboot, that ART doesn't stick and automatically switches back to Davlik. Is anyone else having this problem?

I started running some test early on as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52582475&postcount=32

I just realized that when running ART, private mode will no longer work

I when I activate the "art" so the phone overheats to the point it begins to smell of overheated circuit on the screen. It is something that the mobile force to migrate.
Thought that the battery would explode or something.
and many applications fail, unfortunately the android system is not ready for art, no support for art, is very poor,
I returned to dalvik and holy remedy. :highfive:

My phone won't even switch to art.

Same here. ART working fine for me, and it is a noticeable improvement in app startup speed and execution. I think it does come down to the apps you currently are running. I prefer ART over Dalvik and run all my Samsung devices with it. YMMV

I have to agree, my phone has been running art for over a week, and it is faster, everything works fine.
It has to be an app or something that is not optimized.
I do not run xposed or really any of its modules, and remember not every APP is made to run on ART yet. With the entrance of L
this will in the future force app developers to make the apps so they have to to run on art..

I too have had major issues with ART. It creeps along and at times was very unresponsive. I believe several people are right in that there are some apps out there not optimized for ART yet, but will be forced to if they want to survive in Android L.

Okay time to add on to this quick post at the start of the thread. I am running this on VeGan Tab as the ROM of choice. The App switches from portrait to landscape mode with a minor reload. The search look exactly the same as before. One of the cool feature is the ability to side scroll between the home screen and categories to the left and top paid, top free, top grossing, top new free, and trending. From each of these you can scroll up and down. The scrolling is just a tiny bit laggy but not a hugh issue. Clicking on an app opens a nicely laid out window which fills the entire display and is well laid out in my opinion. The one odd issue is when you click on the screen shots they only display in portrait mode. Also the movie preview streams are excellent they do not lag even on my slow internet connection.
It is my recommend for all tablet users 2.2 and higher to install this update to the app store

What I know of this update is that it is for 2.2 and higher. from the google blog...
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
So I take it this is not on the HC builds and it can be used on the HC builds. As with anything like this your mileage will vary. I just put my two cent worth in on the update.
Tried on Stock 3588 but no go which of course I did not think it would work.
I like the new Market however I keep getting a force close if I try to add a customized icon shortcut via Better Cut. I have to drag the app icon from the application menu & add it to my launcher bar, which is fine but I can't use a customized icon.
I am running this on Flashback rom with no problems.
Actually have two Markets to pick from for now so I'll wait and see which I like better.
Downloaded Zinio from new market and updated a few apps no problem.
Now if we can get Netflix to work on Flashback this would/will be a great tablet and replace my laptop.
Anybody try it on HC yet? I really like the layout of the HC market.
any hack fix for this version of the market
Any hack fix
Anyone tried it on Honeycomb yet?
Running BoS 6.0 Alpha nad so far no problems.

Had this happen to me but doing something different. Before you go wild and try a lot of things, I found out that this may be caused by your contacts getting corrupted. If you have Titanium backup and can get into it, wipe your contacts/account data and you'll be fine.
If not, you most likely DON'T have to NVFlash your device- just wipe your data&cache if you have CWM recovery installed.
Whoa... Nice improvements. This is SLICK!

Yeah, the contacts don't have anything to do with the market so Im not even going to bother. Are you runing Vegan Gingeredition? If you are it may be safe to assume that the issue is a conflict there. Need more feedback from others running Vegan GE to know for sure. For know I just reverted back to the orig market and it runs fine, I don't plan on renting any movies anyway, (not that they play on rooted devices) so not having the new market doesnt bother me a lot.

Cleared Chrome cache, N7 becomes a whole lot more responsive!

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share an experience I had or am having. Just after midday yesterday, I was getting a bit annoyed with some of the lag in my Nexus 7, especially when compared to an N7 that I was using at the same time with only about 10 apps installed. Specifically, I noticed a difference when using the "lightweight" N7's Chrome which was noticeably faster than the Chrome in my "heavyweight" loaded up N7. So I went into the app data, and deleted the cache.
I had 204MB of cache. I know that often, if some things slow down in a specific app/application, deleting cache is sometimes an easy way for performance increases. But this one I wasn't expecting. These are the performance increases I've definitely noticed around the WHOLE OS:
- Coming from lock screen to launcher (I'm using Nova Launcher on both G.Nex and N7). It's now snappy without feeling like it's loading up.
- Multitasking launcher is quicker to respond. The apps in the list load much much quicker. Again, before it would load (populate the list) very close to 2 apps in just under a second (I would guess). And switching between apps is snappy again.
- Keyboard (I'm using Swiftkey) is generally quicker to appear. It was very slow in Chrome.
- App launcher, in and out, is now snappy again.
- Folders opening to show the apps in them is quicker.
- Google+ is quicker. Though I didn't use it between the latest update and deleting the cache.
- App launching is slightly faster overall.
My N7 now feels closer in speed to my G.Nex. I really have no idea why Chrome cache would make such a big difference. Before anyone asks, I haven't got the 4.1.2 update. Since the i/o of the memory controller sucks, I'm guessing Chrome was doing more than it needs to when I wasn't using it. My N7 is feeling very close to a lightweight N7. I am liking it.
Anyway, I hope at the very least it gives people some knowledge.

This will be an extremely noob question, but.. where do you delete the Chrome cache from? I just use ZD Box to clear all that stuff out for me. Seems to work okay I guess.

Back to the topic:
Thanks for the info, I'll try it right away
Mine is lagging too but not very often.
i use a cache cleaner for the google store. works great.
Reboot
I would always make sure you reboot your nexus 7 every so often to make sure that it keeps the ram free and ready to go when you want to use it quickly. I tried the cache and I noticed an increase in speed and snappiness thanks.
Excellent. The sluggish in notifications is now gone.

Cache always do make a very huge difference you should clear it at least once a week. I always do that daily. And not just for chrome do it for all apps. A very useful tool to do it faster is 1Tap Cleaner. :beer:
Same with any PC/Laptop or device.
You must be new to this kind of stuff or OSs cheers

[Q] need to stop walkman getting killed

hey mates, many times i see walkman stops playing, i think it is just getting killed for low memory? in that case is there any tweak i can apply to tell android i don't want walkman getting killed? i guess there's some tweak involving editing of build.prop?? :crying:
The build prop edit doesn't work. Get system tuner and set custom ram kill values or else get ram manager and select high multitasking.
Sent from my C5302 using Tapatalk 2
can't get it, bro? how to do it using sys tuner can u plz elaborate the process?
I can't think it will be low memory - the SP has plenty of RAM to run JB and some serious multi-tasking.
I imagine it's an incompatible app or some setting that has been changed.
From past experience I know that some custom kernels with a deep sleep profile can be very agressive (killing background processes) when the screen is off.

no bro, it kills walkman when screen is on, usually when i use chrome to do a lot of surfing. anyways i have installed supercharger script!! :victory: let's see if it solves the problem.
I have the issue of the Sound effects of the Walkman geting killed off if I do some serious facebooking or G+'ing on the phone. The Walkman app itself still works, however the sound effects app gets killed and there's no way to get it back except a reboot.
Killing and restarting Walkman doesn't help.

Well I've only had the SP for 6 days, so haven't really put it through it's paces. I think I read somewhere that the default out of memory app killer is set at 200mb which is probably too conservative. Even so for it to kill an in use process rather than a cached one does suggest a bug of some kind.
I came from a phone with 512MB ram - so far the SP is exceeding my expectations (especially when it comes to multi tasking). Of course facebook is a bloated app that doesn't seem especially well optimised for android, I try to avoid it - it's possible that apps that cache a lot of media might cause trouble?
i have installed supercharger script and it seems to resolve this error.
I know this is a bit of an old thread but I'm having a similar, and at times worse problem. I also think the default task killer has some bug or something because it kills the walkman app every now and then while I'm listening to music. I installed the Xposed framework and the App Settings module to set some apps to be 'Residents' and that has worked very well with some apps. The really big problem is that, there are times where the phone literally closes an app that I'm currently using while it's still visible, I've had Chrome close on me very often and sometimes the keyboard doesn't appear when I want to write something, which makes me believe that somehow the keyboard app/service was killed. I'm hoping that if CM or some other custom ROM gets released, it'll have better memory management, but for the time being, is there any way I can quarantine a Sony service or app to stop this from happening so often?
I am using the latest .245 firmware, rooted and with unlocked bootloader, and I've never installed any third-party task manager/killer. I'm pretty sure it's not that I'm running out of RAM because I usually have around 200MB free, sometimes a lot more.

I've had a similar issue with the Xperia T. Listening to music through Bluetooth, and browsing using the stock android browser (not chrome), the music used to stop and it would loose the stopping point and reopening walkman shows the music as if after its been refreshed. Posted on Sony forums, to which I was asked to repair the phone and didnt seem to slove it.
Only change that happened was I stopped using the two of them simultaneously for a longer period of time
Btw, this was on the original ICS fw, for Xperia T. Can't comment on it on JB as I havent put it through the same scenario.
But RAM used to be around 667MB when on ICS and ~800MB for JB on Xperia T

Its not about which player you are using.
Its the OOM groupings that are a little f-ed up in SP. This happens with Pandora and Spotify for that matter too..
Well nevermind what I said, if anything something seems a little worse now, my launcher keeps randomly crashing and I'm getting a constant weird notification about a failed bugreport. Supercharger scripts says that everything is working 100% but I think somehow the phone is still managing to kill its services. It's driving me a little crazy and I'm not sure what to try, I'd reflash the stock ROM and start from scratch but it didn't work well before, that's why I started installing other apps...

Ok I might give it a try but there's one specific thing that's driving me insane. I've already installed Xposed framework, V6 Supercharger and Crossbreeder. They all seem to be working correctly and some things work fine, but my keyboard keeps disappearing very very often. I don't know why, I click on a textbox to write something and as I start typing they keyboard just goes away and doesn't come back for a while, I don't even know why or if it has anything to do with RAM (which I doubt). I'm using the Kii Keyboard from the Play Store and I've bulletproofed it with the Supercharger scripts, and it does appear with an OOM priority of -17. I've tried reinstalling and also using the default Xperia keyboard, but it keeps happening.
Any input is appreciated, or if someone knows a way to maybe make a log or something to identify the culprit.
It gets killed. Happens seldom with my SwiftKey.

Horrible Multitasking?

I posted this in the Sprint HTC One forums and got little in reply, let me know whose you guys think
I don't know if this is an issue with 4.3 specifically because I don't recall if this was happening since I installed the update..but my multitasking with this phone has been horrible lately. I mean no matter what app I switch to it begins to reload, even if it's the last one I used or a light application (ex Google Now to Messaging). I already found it frustrating how upon switching apps with this phone it would show you a frozen image for a brief moment before before allowing you to interact with the actual application, but now apps are actually having to reload. I'm using apex pro and it's also redrawing nearly every time I go back to the homescreen, be it from internet, floorboard, messaging etc. Not sure why it's happening but it started like a week ago and my phone has been feeling pretty ****ty because of it. My GS4 w/touchwiz has less multitasking issues than this phone right now, any ideas on what's going on? Stock unrooted 4.3

Isn't there a specific setting that locks the launcher in memory to prevent the redraws? Are you running a custom rom or you're using apex on a stock rom?

There is that setting, but when it's enabled a notification sits in the dropdown that says to remove apex from the permanent memory, you can't swipe it away either. Really stupid, never seen a phone with that notification before, my s2 with 1gb of ram multitasked amazing. Regardless it's all aspects of multitasking not just launcher redraw, if I switch from messages to setting and then back to massages, it'll have to reload regardless of how light of an app it is.
Stock unrooted 4.3. Rebooting gives me a few days without hindrance but eventually the problem resurfaces, I barely have any apps installed and none of them are out of the ordinary.

*UPDATE:Now almost all my apps and games won't work. PLEASE HELP ME...I might even throw in a reward to the person who fixes this. I really don't want to wipe my phone. BTW I'm rooted with towelroot and I'm running safestrap

Go into Developer Options and make sure your runtime isn't set to ART...I've heard of people having an issue where switching to ART breaks a lot of stuff until switching back to Dalvik.

Nope its on Dalvik. Maybe should I try ART?
Nvm no luck just tried ART
Have you tried wiping the cache and Dalvik cache in recovery?
