Switching Back to Dalvik from ART?

[Javier P]

If you want to try something "safe" in the developer options try changing the 3 different animation values. My choice 0.5x. It'll give you an speed up illusion.

It's running erratically on ART. Think I'm gonna switch back to Dalvik.

I just switched back. Not enough pros to outweigh the cons for me at this time. I didn't really notice any battery benefits with ART anyway. I did get some black screens though.

Hi,

i hav updated my Nexus 4 yesterday to Lollipop (5.0)

i simply don't have "Select runtime' option in my dev menu... can i switch back to dalvik any other way??

 

[Carlos Thwaites]

Because u have updated your n4 to lollipop that mean that ART runs as default now so there is no possible way of going back to dalvik.. Thats not a bad thing though

I was worried you would say so... i can't run a few apps, not compatible with art.

Thx for answer!

Just give it time. All that needs doing is the developers needs to optimize the apps for ART

Have patience. The app developers will get around to fixing the apps shortly. Some won't work right away but eventually the developers will get them fixed.

mine won't switch to ART on my ATT phone. I select ART, phone reboots, nothing. Still Dalvik.

I had xposed on my phone at an ealier time, I uninstalled all of the modules and xposed, unrooted.

Heard that might be why but can't find anything definitive.

Of course, some won't, and you'll have to find new apps to provide the capabilities you're looking for.

I switched back to Davlik a few days ago after running on art for a month. I would get freezes and black screens at least once a day requiring me to take off the pain in the *** supcase unicorn beetle case to do a battery pull.
I was late for work because the phone froze in the middle of the night so my alarm did not go off. Switched back to Davlik Monday and no hard locks or black screen since. I do miss the battery life from Art.

The same predicament happened to me! Good thing my body somehow woke up naturally and I wasn't late for work but whew that almost ruined my morning when my alarm didn't go off on my G3 while using ART; so I switched back.
