Of course it depend on the hack the module trying inject to the apps, but how its impact on performance if I change nothing of the code, just implement an exactly same method by XPosed module in theory?
yup...xposed kinda slows down my nexus 4 and my note 10.1 too much...
I have a Moto G and Xposed does not slowdown my phone not one bit.

Xposed slows your phone down an immeasurable amount...
The modules however... Can slow your phone to a crawl...
For me... Anything systemUI related makes my phone unusable...

Running a S5 and have not seen any slow down.
No hit in speed normally, but have when 30+ modules were active. Lol

Yes it solws down my wiko pulp fab 4g but mostly for the boot. The boot got sooooo loooong so i rather unistalled xposed and now i feel fresh i can turn down my phone or reboot fast. I regret all that time spent to customize the phone lol. But was a good experience.
After this long boot the phone speed was almost good. If you don't switch your phone off or reboot often it is okay.
My Zenfone GO ZV00D slowed down alot!
And I had only xblast tools, root cloak and mock location hide..
Several years passed, many devices changed. Xposed by itself does not affect to phone performance or battery usage at all. Maybe it because of specific module settings.
have been using it for a while now and there's nothing i love more but I just uninstalled xposed off my s7 edge on MM . was slowing down the phone a bit. had about 7 modules active. the benefits were worth the slowdown previously.

Does using xposed modules slows down phone? Like I was using 5-6 modules realting to different different things like changing color of status bar icons and floating windows, etc.
But with excess use of these, I found my phone to work very slow over the period! Just in a normal talk on whatsapp would used to hang my phone and be stuck there untill a reboot!
So, can excess use of these modules slow down my phone ?

I experienced it too.
Was running some modules and phone was slow and after remove all modules and do a clen up the phone got better.
When I installed Xposed, everything seemed to be in order aside from a subjectively longer reboot than normal. The only module I have installed (and the only reason atm for me having Xposed installed) was to kick the pesky ISIS app past the "Your phone is rooted" message. Both apks were downloaded from XDA as well. After several unbearably long freezes and general sluggishness reminiscent of my Evo 3D, I ended up uninstalling ISIS as well as Xposed which returned my phone to its normal speedy operation. It should be noted however that while it was runny slow and freezing, ISIS did function properly and allowed me to add things as if I weren't rooted. I'd be more than happy to re-install and try again, but I thought I'd pick the brains of the big wigs here first and see if anyone had any thoughts before I do so. Also if it matters, my GS5 is the T-Mobile version.

I have no noticable lag or freezing with Xposed installed with several modules running. I did have the issue with ISIS not wanting to run with a rooted device but RootCloak fixed that for me.
There is a issue with s-health service fc that cause this slow down. In this same forum you can find some workaround i don't remember (even though I've used it)
Please check the existing thread.
Has anyone tried switching to ART yet? Have you noticed any problems or benefits such as increased fluidity or battery life?
I switched. No problems except every time I reboot it always optimizes 44 apps. I don't know what that's about.

Yea, did that on Nexus 5 Android L Preview as well. Probably a small bug that needs working with.
That's the main problem you'll encounter. And other small things like some apps not working correctly (like Pandora).
I switched to ART, and my Pandora is working.
It sure takes a long time to reboot as it optimizes 66 apps. Switching back to dalvik.
I've noticed an extreme lag on my note 4 when I switch to ART. Not only does it optimize apps whenever I reboot, I've noticed the length of time to do things such as freeze apps in Titanium backup takes longer. Apps such as S-health/Spotify/facebook also take a long time to load versus Devik.
It might be my anecdotal experiences, but I've noticed the same thing with my G3.
I've switched back to DEVIK until another ROM comes along.
after going back and forth with art/dalvik, on a couple of different phones, I think its a combination of certain apps on our phones not being compatible, and the fact this is a modified form of ART, made to work with version of android below 5.0
even though I dont have this phone yet, I think its probably fast enough with dalvik, to not bother with ART until Android L comes out..
WTF, the whole idea of ART was to compile applications during install and be done with it, as opposed to Just In Time, when you compile right before application start, each and every time, so you guys should have delay using Dalvik, during reboot all apps are started and should be recompiled, not with ART which should be precompiled already, what am I missing here? You're describing just the opposite of what it should be.

Yes, and yet, that is what is happening. ? Crazy
Art sucks on the note 4. As everyone said it takes forever to boot up as it tries to optimize several app at ever reboot. In my case 29 apps and it'd slow like molasses. Once booted, some apps also take forever to load like Facebook. Art is more a disadvantage in the note 4s case. Went back to dalvik.

day 1 went with dalvik. no issues while setting up the phone how i like it and using it. switched to art yesterday afternoon and switched back to dalvik lat last night because i had major hangups in apps(timely alarm took 5 seconds to open, freezing with dolphin browser and words with friends. that i can remember) hangups were so bad it even locked up the phone a few times where capacitive buttons would not work for multiple seconds. dalvik is doing just fine, not enough benefit for me to go back
It's pretty much a waste of time to use ART at this point in time until L is released. If there are any benefits right now, it's either very very minimal or placebo. Wait until it is official with L.
I switch to ART now and i never encountered your problems... after that it reboots then optimized 349 apps on my device then it boots. after that it became laggy i tried playing need for speed for the first time it freezes i close the app and waited for a period of time and try again after that theres no lag at all even the TW launcher. i have no problem with my apps i swear. ill try to make a video tomorrow.

Is it just me or does it take an EXTREMELY long time to boot the first time after you switch to ART? Ive been stuck on "Optimizing app 246 of 386" for like 10+ mins now.
Im starting to think this was a mistake...I restarted and now its stuck on "10 of 190"
Big mistake. It will do that on every reboot and your phone will get really hot. Nothing you can do now but to wait it out. Go back to dalvik asap.

You have to just let it finish. It takes a long time but should not have any bad side effects. ART loads a bigger portion of the applications you have installed on your phone into the cache. That is why it runs faster, because it is holding more of the applications in a preloaded state. This is also why the boot takes so long. You should also see a bit higher RAM usage when the phone is idle.
But this allows the phone to have more stable operation and improves efficiency which is why you generally see a better battery life and less cpu waste.

My phone basically got stuck booting i had to completely wipe in recovery to get it back up. Maybe I just had too many apps installed? Like my phone literally was booting for half a day...LITERALLY.
when I switched to ART, S Health stopped working. Had to switch back.
Absolutely no issues running ART for me. I checked everything I can think of and all appears to be good.
Pardon my ignorance, but if I already run FireKat V5 on my N4, what benefits or is it even possible to switch over to ART runtime?
I'm using ART on my S3 and Nexus 7 for about some months now. All in one it's a very good user experience to me using it together with CM nightlys.
Now I've tried enabling it on my new and rooted Note 4 at the usual way. Well. I get the question to switch and reboot, but the boot time is at usual and the runtime is always Dalvik. So if I try to switch back to Dalvik there is no prompt for reboot because I'm still on Dalvik instead on ART. Whyever.. no ART runtime for me on my Note 4 running KK 4.4.4.
Well, except all the (as system app installed!) bloatware, I'm still feeling happy with my new device.. even without ART.
Btw: Anyone knows a good list of those installed system apps I can securely remove without using special apps like SmartDebloater?
Thanks in advance and regards.
Anyone have been using ART on Note 4 can share what is your experience?
Personally I don't find any noticeable improvements. However, the extra time it takes to complete app updates and installations is pretty noticeable. Not that much of an issue on that, but there is one little annoyance for me - whenever I reboot my phone the same set of apps needs to be optimized and the reboot process takes over a minute for that.
I hope this is just because it is still kind of a "test" feature on 4.4 though.
It Breaks private mode

art does not totally work yet on 4.4.4. samsung roms, the update each boot takes forever at my side (~5min), so i reverted back to dalvik!

Same. I have about 15 apps that it will keep optimising (I guess it is the decompiling) every time it is rebooted. Currently returned back to Dalvik.

I read someone's contacts app was broken as well, but mine seems fine. Didn't test out private mode though cos I don't use that function.
Doesn't work. No improvement whatsoever. Don't bother at all. Lollipop will use it properly
Echo the above posts. Annoying that it kept optimising apps on reboot, takes up extra storage space and actually seemed to appear to stutter more.
On my brand new galaxy 4 (snapdragon), without root, I activated the development mode and then the art mode. It took about 30 minutes to recompile the 410 installed applications, and finally it came back to life. I had a single problem with S Health, that I had to disable and reinstall again. I tested all applications, and everything now seemsto work reliably. Indeed, the gui seems much smoother and more buttery than before. I will check battery lifetime and performances in the next few days...
Art mode doesn't require root or smth?

it doesnt recquired root... just go on to settings tap your build number for a few times to activate the developer options then click Change Runtime System choose ART... for the mean time it will be laggy then after a few minutes it will work smoothly...

Anyone on tmo get their WiFi calling to work after switching to ART? There was a marked difference when fast scrolling twitter feeds. Much smoother. No WiFi calling doesn't work for me though. Optimizing at every startup stinks too.

On same case, I've turned to ART but s healt crashed. After this i uninstalled the updates and disable app, reboot, and enabled it again but no luck. How did you make s health app working on ART?
Did you clean the cache too?
Twice answer, deleted this one.

Oh no..
now I turned into the ART. S Health crashed. I cleared the app's cache and data. Uninstalled updates and disable the app. Reboot, but it still crashes. What was your steps? Thank you.
For your information, the s health version I am using is the factory installed one, not the available update - version 3.5.0.0123. Also, I am running N910FXXU1AJN4 from October 8th. After one day of use, I can confirm I don't have a single noticeable issue under ART.
P.s. I am not a newcomer, I checked that art is actually running and smoothness is sincerely impressive...
Mee too - i've switched to ART, and disabled all animations - everything is almost instant.
if s-health crashes, then so be it. I don't want Samsung to track my pulse and oxygen level via internet.
I have to comment that my device doesn't optimize the apps in every reboot.
Update: to test the robustness of S health, I let the application to update to 3.5.1.0668 (current version)...and the app stopped working! However I noticed another annoying bug that appears only...once you reboot. In particular, every reboot I get a message from android trying to upgrade 117 application (I have about 400). if I reboot multiple times, the message is still there and the process of optimization too!!!! This is particularly annoying since every time it takes about 15 minutes and it eats about 15% of battery!!!
Mine is also updates 3 apps. Small amount of them but so annoying.

Yes, the optimizing reboots had me switch back. Not that I reboot much but it was annoying it kept doing it. Although it gives the processor a workout.....

Definitely smoother for me and battery life seems to have improved as well. Will have to observe few more days though

I can confirm that S health works only if I run version 3.5.0.00123. It's the one installed as default in my rom, so I can simply install it by uninstalling the most recent version and turn it on from the disabled apps. ART feels definitely faster and smoother than dalvik...
Also running art since yesterday and no issues at all. Haven't found an app that I use that doesn't work.
How abt RAM usage? Thanks.
