ART on Nexus S (Android 4.4 KitKat)

Hello!
I've installed our alpha build for Nexus S and installed Gapps. Than I tried the ART function instead... It worked..with Google services FCs.
So I believe that it could work as long as we flash compatible google apps?
What do you guys think?
I'd really like to see ART in action on my Nexus S

ART FC too
Im try and FC all GAPPS too... then reboot.
In dalvik all Ok

I've heard of ART. I understand it is suposto make apps quicker. Is there a sticky FAQ on ART VS DALVIC virtual machine?

You need to get odexed gapps to get ART working, here's one from a build for the N4:

So do you believe art on nexus s would work with those gapps?
I will give it a try later today.

Assuming the Nexus 4 and S both use the same gapp builds than I'd assume yes. If they use different builds of gapps normally, then someone would need to make an odexed build of them for the S. But I'm curious how it goes, turning on ART on mine would be nice, anything to eek out a little more speed would be awesome.

Use latest PA GApps

Whatsapp doesnt work with ART for me... Also it kind of screws up my system. I'll just stick to dalvic...

What ROM? Launcher? Gaps? Have you done anything to the ROM (tweaks or kernel change)?

Firefox or another third party browser seems to work for the web, but google now will still be messed up... I am sure you installed correctly, but a clean install may help with ART?? You could try odexing, I liked how that worked with ART (minus the 15min initial boot time??) I don't like the gel / 4.4 laucher, I use Nova with no issues (not the 4.4 beta).. Devil kernel works well with this rom and has more available ram.. I did the full setup and restore of all my apps before switching to ART with no issues and no issues switching to ART after odexing..

If some one use openpdoide you cant use ART (mabye it will be fixed). I tried it an the whole system rebooted.....

AMAZING! I knew Android 4.4 is optimized for devices that only have 512 MB memory, but I thought that is just another Project Butter: won't be very obvious on low-end devices. As soon as I loaded CM 11, I found out I was wrong. It just bring my Nexus S back to life and I can't believe this is the successor of CM 10.2. Don't know how good it will be after switch to ART. Although I have a Nexus 4, I just feel happy that I don't need to throw this phone away.

I will try pa gapps .thx !

I am using [UNOFFICIAL][ROM][4.4][21112013] CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Nexus S with Devil Kernel on ART. It works ok, but device gets really SLOW from time to time. With that I mean it is unusable for more than 5min.
It might be the kernel, I flashed Euroskank CM11 now and won't flash any kernel to see whats going on.
I am usign THOSE GAPPS.

Battery life with 4.4 alpha 3 on my nexus s!

[Q] S health FC

Hello all,
I'm new to Note 3 but I've got stick to S Health using SGS4.
But any of installed ROMs such as Omega and Foxhound for SGN3 causes S Health to crash. And its only crashes when recovered from backup (of course with patch) and after filling the profile.
How could I fix it?

[HELP ME!!!][I9500]Problems on WanamLite 4.4.2 V4.0

Hi guys, Well, I installed the WanamLite ROm V4.0 based on Android Kitkat for I9500 and I had some problems. I can't download files(tested: Firefox, Chrome and Default Browser) and I can't fix it. I tried to search a fix for this but nothing is working. The Aptoide app does not work too. It doesn't download apps. Snapchat does not show videos and some pictures, well... the apps that need to download files does not work very well.

[APP][5.0+][4.2+] Sony apps and libraries ported to Lollipop

NEW OP FOR BRAND NEW STUFF !
Now, Xperia Z4/Z5 lib and framework files are ported to 5.1.1+ including Marshmallow.
Just flash this zip in recovery : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347843173
Now, enjoy easy install of Sony Apps. Maybe they wont install, so push them to /system/app or /system/priv-app

Hi.I installed music and album apks , they work fine.But can't flash zip file on my Nexus 5 running Blisspop 3.2.I'd be happy if they could install.But thanks

Flash the zip. Maybe it fails. Now read the text displayed by the recovery log. Says you must mount system manually on TWRP or CWM, and reflash zip.

Not work :/
E:Error exe****ing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/SonyFiles.zip'.
I mount system manually..
I use TWRP.

I've extracted the walkman app and installed it normally and it worked flawlessly on CM12.1 Hammerheadcaf.
A bit off topic: I tried to install the walkman app on my Stock G2 Lollipop 5.0.2, it got installed, but when I open the app, it Force closes, the same with lower "8" version ports. It used to work on Stock G2 Kitkat.

Does these apps work on stock Roms like cataclysm? any workaround to work? want to try walkman/music app :
Edit: I tired walkman/music app on stock cataclysm and it's working great. Thankx for the port. There is no clear bass in this verson? sound enchantment takes me to stock equalizer

This features requieres additional Sony files. You can use Viper4Android, its workin' perfectly with Walkman for me.
You gave me an idea. Stay tuned

Thats not off topic dont worry
Try to make a logcat, or make a backup of Stock LP rom, and flash the Sony files flashable zip to see if it resolves. I recommend you to make a backup in the case of flashin results in a bootloop, i just tested it on Euphoria-OS AOSP on my Nexus 5.
If not, make a logcat extract and submit it to pastebin.com, and post the link

Are you sure /system is mounted ? If yes, maybe there's a problem with your TWRP version

i saw on developer's thread that ur trying to port xperia z3 lollipop ROM Is the project still active? Since i used sony phone previously, i like it's UI and apps. Will love to try your ported ROM.

Tried multiple times to restart, deodex system apps, and grabbed logcats, but still crashes and never reached any bootanimation, so i stopped it for now, hoping somebody one day will help me

Ohh. Sad to hear that. Wish i could help but i don't have knowledge to porting stuffs. Good luck for the future.

I installed Album normally, runs ok but there are graphical glitches here and there. Then I tried flashing the API zip but it showed an error. (I did mount system and I'm using CWM)

I dont faced it personally.. Dont use CWM, its discontinued, use TWRP instead, and it should work.
I just updated Music app to 9.0.1.A.3.0 Beta
Sony seems to have added a quick button, with new settings, allowing to read some playlists.
Here's APKMirror changelog :
Change log:
- Quick play button (Experimental feature)
- Color picking on landing page items
- Misc bug fixes
** Please note that the beta application is not fully translated. **
I wont notify every update i make and upload on my Sony AndroidFileHost Folder, so subscribe to Sony Music app updates on Pushbullet, and when you see an update, the ported apk will be available here as usual, within 24 hours.
Cheers

[Help] Lollipop experience with Gapps and Samsung Stock apps

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to have lollipop experience on G7102 So I used cm12.1, it's good but it doesn't have stock Samsung apps like My files TouchWiz among other, also it doesn't have Gapps.
For Gapps I found a 600mb package on BasketBuild site
but for stock Samsung apps I have followed method 1 of an article at joyofandroid but failed to install apps as it says App not installed.
Kindly suggested How to get stock Samsung and Google stock apps on this cm12.1 rom on Grand 2. BTW I got S Health from PlayStore

I don't think there's any way you can have stock samsung apps on cyanogen.
Although you can use app2zip app and make flashable zips of stock samsung apps and try restore it on cyanogen.I got walkman on cm13 using this method but failed for samsung's my files.It may work for a few apps.

Dude,i told you i've only tried aditya s7 v3.I an not sure about others.I think you should mention the problem in the project lucky rom thread.Or maybe you did'nt follow the exact guidelines.
Maybe you needed to be on stock before flashing cuz i always restore stock before a new rom.
