Art Vs dalvik

Tried to update to art & ended up having to factory reset my phone. Said Android ui stopped working. Should I try again? Is it worth it & what went wrong?
 
It goes through a conversion on each of your apps. Did you let it run (un touched) through the entire conversion process (10-30min)?

I wonder if clearing the data cache (temporary data only) before running the conversion would help in this case? It wouldn't hurt anything to do it.

I've tried ART three times. It uses about 400MB more internal memory on my Moto G. Fast & Furious 6 doesn't work with ART. After I downloaded a huge file, it told me that. I wish it had told me before. Lol.

Asphalt 8 works, but my phone got significantly warmer.
 
Turn up the CPU to make it faster for asphalt if kernel support this . but the speed kernel would be nice .:D
 
I've been on ART since 4.4.2 and have had no issues. Granted I have so few apps installed (nothing game intense). Can't say I see a speed difference though. But, like Thom said, it does take time to transfer over especially if you have a lot of apps installed.
 
I tried art when I first got my moto g. Found out Pandora didn't work so no art for me. Does art work on the cm 11 rom?
 
I just switched to art on stock ROM & have noticed battery life is better. With dalvic I would get 6-7 hrs sot with art 8-9 hrs. I've heard some apps don't work with it but if you don't use much like myself its the way to go.
