AT&T S5 won't run ART runtime on 4.4.4 update??

[dohlo]

Through the process of checking for updates on my G900A, I screwed myself when AT&T forced the update on my phone while I was sleeping last week. And for lack of anything good to say about it, it sucks. It's terrible. It's slow as all hell. I immediately tried to switch to ART runtime as it ran flawlessly on 4.4.2 but it won't let me? Or rather it will give me the option and restarts but doesn't perform the upgrade/changes.

Am I basically up a creek without a paddle on wanting to switch back to ART on 4.4.4?

Samsung may have removed/disabled it as an option in later KK releases. I know they didn't have it on the S4 when KK was released for that device. The option just wasn't there.

It gives me the option and states the device will restart to perform the changes but it does a plain old restart instead of performing the changes to run on ART.

Has anyone figure this out? I have the same issue.

And I thought I was the only one. Tried factory reset twice to no avail. Guess we have to wait for 5.0... :'(
