ART Runtime

Does it hurt the phone at all to use art? I haven't gotten my s5 yet and want to be filled in on this stuff before it gets here

It won't hurt anything. Some apps aren't written for it and may not work, but I switched to ART on day one and haven't had any issues. Supposedly it will give you marginally better performance and battery life.
 
Does yours show "Custom" with an unlocked padlock when booting? BTW mine is AT&T
 
Mine says the Custon Unlocked too, but it seems to be of no consequence. It seems to run faster to me, apps start faster. Purely subjective on my part. No problems so far.
