Root Deodexed ZV4/ZV5 stock incompatible with ART

[jhofseth]

I'm not sure if anyone else has found that both rooted *stock* *deodexed* ZV4 and ZV5 roms won't allow for developer-options switch to ART runtime, because selecting ART and okaying reboot results in a reboot loop of ~5 reboots before auto-reverting to Dalvik runtime (i.e., don't wipe + re-flash or restore, just wait for it to eventually revert to Dalvik). The only rooted stock rom I could successfuly enable/use ART runtime in was rooted stock *odexed* ZV5. I haven't tried the alpha/beta CM builds yet, but only reference stock. When I successfully enabled ART with stock *odexed* ZV5, the performance was snappier/improved (after one uber-long initial reboot) but I didn't use it long enough to gauge battery-savings before flashing the incompatible stock deodexed ZV5. Regardless, I am definitely looking forward to using new CM builds (once out of beta stage) and hope ART is compatible with the LG Volt deodexed CM 11/12 caf/decaf roms. *Thanks to all developing the latter and to those posting rooted stock roms.* Cheers.

ART will not run on a deodexed ROM, only stockish Odex Roms. Since ART doesn't use dalvik it cannot run apps with the classes.dex inside or something along those lines.

Hope this clears some issues for ya..
