[Q] Whats the difference between ART and Dalvik in Xperia SP - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone, i'd like to ask some question,
is there anyone try use ART in xperia sp ?
does it has slight differences with the dalvik?
can anyone show me the difference?
Thanks, sory for my bad english

Read this article from Google: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/art.html

did anyone ever try using art ? are there any bugs? and can u give a few tip to maximize the ART?
im using it right now and just working fine, but still, many app cant be opened if u are using art.
im still looking for a tips or a way to maximize the ART

That's the bug. Art is new and some apps don't support. Dalvik is in the moment the right choice. Here around xda is a cwm zip to change to art and dalvik.

ART runs fine and fast in my opinion, have tried running it on paranoidNexus (Android 4.4.4) for LBL. The only thing that doesn't work with it that I've found is xposed. Xposed will probably be made to work for Android L's version of ART (i.e. final) but not the kitkat version according to the dev as they are quite different.
If you have a 4.4.x ROM then definitely switch. If you love xposed modules then don't.

[Q] Android 4.3 Xperia

Hello, I have (little) question about the following:
I have updated my phone to a Android 4.3 ROM, now i really want the Sony Walkman app, and the sony album app and movies,
I searched for a flashable ZIP, and found something, I flashed it, i saw the apps, but the only thing what was working was the Movies app, ( i got Sony Walkman has stopped working, When opening) and i guess it is because i am at Android 4.3,
Are there any ways to get Xperia Walkman app on Android 4.3?
Also another question: If i already have 4.3 on my phone, do i need to flash the FTF Files for 4.3 again etc. ( and wipe everything etc.)
( i know normally you dont have to, because you are already at that Android version, but now because of this is 4.3, an unreleased version, i was wondering if this was the case too, because i dont know if all ROMS are sharing one Android version, or if every rom uses a different one
Thanks for helping me out!

Not all apps are compatible with ART yet. There was a list of supported apps somewhere on the net (search for it)

Xposed compatibility with ART ?

Hi i hope someone could help me with my doubt. I want to install xposed on my jiayu g4s which is working with ART instead of Dalvik because ART is more quick . I have kitkat 4.4.2 but i dont now if it is possible right now. Thank u
It is not possible.

Xposed finally working for lollipop 5.1.x

I am pleased to inform all of you fellow Android One users that the xposed framework is now finally working on our lollipop 5.1.x devices. The most recent alpha 4 build is tested by me and it's working perfectly. Here's the link to the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072979
Just follow the instructions by the letter and you'll do just fine.
First you need to install the xposed-sdk22-arm-20150514.zip and then without booting into system clear the dalvic cache. Now boot into the system, install xposed alpha 3 apk from the thread enable desired modules and reboot.
Let's enjoy tweaking our phones with minimal chances of permanent damage. Cheers.
NOTE: If you have any problems post in the original thread as he's the real developer. Although there are many many people posting there so it'll be a nice choice to also post your queries here and I'll try helping out as much as I can.
Works well though, yet some tweaks give bootloop. But then Gravitybox works well..

I have another update to make.
Using this method, xposed is also working on pac ROM and other CM based ROMS. So users not on stock can also try this.

System UI (or Launcher) keeps auto-restarting after a while

Is it only me or something wrong with LP? After upgrading to LP 5.0.2 (using Flashtool), System UI (or Launcher, or something else, I'm not pretty sure) just keeps auto-restarting after a while. The screen just becomes blank, moment later application icons show up. Applications seem to be reloaded (e.g. keyboard is loading for a moment before it shows up). It was working pretty nice before (KK).
Any help?
For the record, I'm using C6903 14.5.A.0.270 CE rooted, locked BL, odexed (original stock downloaded using XperiFirm). Also got xposed 3.0 alpha4 installed with following modules: Disable Desk Dock, Greenify
This is a bug on z1's lollipop
Best solution is to backup ur ta and unlock bl and install cm12.1

C'mon is there any way else? I dont really wanna unlock bl and install custom roms. I know some custom roms are really nice but i'd rather stick with stock
any help?
I have the same problem, doesnt happen on kitkat tho
Anyway, i dont expect it to be fixed, the z1 never been good at multitasking
I'm using Z1 (C6903 270 TW FTF) with del useless APP + Xposed Work fine NO issue
Because of high lowmemorykiller value, launcher and UI will restart frequently. You can try to flash init.d tweaks to adjust your lowmemorykiller value, and it will solve your problem.
Hi,
I suggest you trying at least a custom launcher with Lock In Memory feature. I was facing this issue and it was really becoming annoying, then I installed Xposed Module to do a small fix on Lollipop Memory leak (if you don't mind rooting it's a great option). And installed NOVA Launcher with hat feature.
All the best,

I'd love to try this, but any recommendation about lowmemorykiller value?

So u mean the xposed lollipop memory leak fix could solve the problem? but i heard that Z1 Lollipop stock already included this fix? mine already rooted and got xposed installed so I won't mind getting that fix if it solves my problem.

You're lucky then
@boydzethuong
1. For LMK> use 3C Toolbox from Play Store, set Android OOM at aggresive mode and enable set on boot (not init.d).
2. For launcher> use App Settings Beta, search it @ app Settings thread, used for Lollipo, not L 5.1.1
Enable resident for your current launcher and reboot.
memory leak has been fixed in 5.1. I'd wait it out til 5.1 is rolling out on the z1. can't take that much lunger 'til then. couple of weeks max (i hope)

OK, so to summarize, just like u guys I am having trouble with memory leak, which people said a fix had already been included in sony stocks BUT it didn't really fix the issue at all. correct? Then i'd go with: wait for 5.1
For those who are using xposed, yesterday I was about trying to uninstall xposed to see if I had any luck getting rid of the issue. However, I found a new version (v70) so I decided to flash it first then clear davik-cahce... and you know what... it seems to be working normally now. No lowmemorykill so far (yet?). Will pay a few more days see if it somehow solves the issue. You might wanna give it a try.
Cheers
