No issues with ART on 4.4.4. (Had some occasional issues with ART on 4.4, esp with Google Play Services.) That being said I haven't noticed a HUGE difference between the two.

I sent my phone to Motorola to repair the screen. It took about a week, cost $189, and came back in like-new condition

I've had two Droid Maxx phones. The first (purchased in Sept) had the creaky upper right corner from the beginning. That phone later broke, so I had to purchase a new one in Jan. The new one did NOT have the creakiness right away, but I noticed it a few months later. I try not to let it bug...

I'm running a Galaxy Tab 8.9 with a custom 4.3 ROM and it works quite well. I am interested in replacing it with the LG G Pad 8.3 to get better performance though. I'm curious if you or anyone else considered the Verizon LTE variant. I do prefer stock android, so I see the standard LG skin on...

Do you have Bluetooth turned on? BT absolutely drains the battery with this custom ROM. (It's really the only flaw in the ROM that I know of.)

I have this ROM installed on an LG US670. I would often have trouble installing software and would get "Package file invalid" error messages. What was happening was the standard cache partition would run out of space. It is very small on this phone for some reason. I finally solved it by...

I use and love beyond pod. It is pretty powerful and flexible so it may have a steeper learning curve compared to others. Posted via Android Central App

Not sure about seeing the old little green emoticons, but you can go back to regular ASCII emoticons. I hate the new yellow ones. Just tap the smiley face button on your keyboard, and then tap the ASCII smiley immediately to the left of the backspace key. (This is on the standard Google...

I started getting this when I switched to the ART runtime. I see no actual problems so I haven't switched back. I assume Google will put an update on the play store at some point to fix it. Posted via Android Central App

I've had this problem occasionally even with 4.2.2.... Kind of annoying but I've only had it happen a few times. Was hoping 4.4 would resolve it but it happened again yesterday. Guess it must be some app as stated above and not android itself. Posted via Android Central App

I didn't think there would be a difference, but the thought crossed my mind when I ran into this problem. Did my solution work for you too?

Ok, I think I got it! I put the phone in fastboot mode, then ran the following (from the Android SDK): fastboot erase userdata I then booted into recovery from the fastboot menu, did one more factory erase/reset for good measure, then rebooted the phone normally.

That's how I did it the first time. I tried doing it again (and again) but it didn't help.

I performed a factory reset via the boot menu on my phone (which was encrypted). This formatted the /data and /cache partitions. But now it still prompts for a decryption password on startup. But now my old password doesn't work any more. Suggestions?

Yep.... that's what I'll plan on doing...just waiting. It gets annoying having my phone prompt me every day to update to KitKat, but I don't want to risk making something work worse. 4.2.2 is working very well for me!
