Xposed Framework/ART?

share the love peeps ;)
Anyone here keep in touch with or follow the Xposed dev in any way?
I know its wrong to ask for ETA's but im wondering if/when its gona be working with ART lol im gettin sick of running a nearly stock android rom with none of the modifications id grown used to in 4.3 :banghead::banghead:
Lol i sound so selfish. These devs are working their butts off for us to run bleeding edge android on phones that are years old and im complaining :D
 
Smh, you complain too much funky :D

What exactly is art/does it do? We don't have any stable 4.4's on the G2 yet so I can mess with/see what it's about :p (retired the s3 recently)
 
Lol im such a moaner :D
Hey mate. You'd have to ask Emon for a proper explanation lol.
Basicly Android Run Time replaces Dalvik.
Its an experimental feature but is probably the future.
its in Dev Options. Once you activate it the phone reboots and it takes AGES to reboot while it optimises all your apps.
Once it boots, i could see an instant imrovement man. Apps open and multitask so much faster. I think its designed to remove lag from low end devices but i bet youd notice it on the G2! Its the kind of change project butter was supposed to be lol its astounding. Even benchmarks show the difference it makes.
CM11 is really stable man have u not tried it?
Im using unofficial builds of it (4.4.1) and its stable, just a bit bland so far :beer:
 
Ah nice when we get a stable 4.4 I'll give it a try.

Sprint's g2 is still pretty new, all we have are 2 stock roms, cm 10.2 and PA 4.4 that's in its second alpha stage (not completely stable)

So I'm on cm for now until it's more stable.

I know man. Thats what most of my g+ geek buddys are doing but ive tried going back to dalvik and it feels like my phones broken. ART has spoiled me and i cant go back even if it means having an ugly UI :D

id have made the same choice if it wasnt the N5 mate. I dont like samsung tbh and the One is sexy but a bit common :)

If the n5 would have been more in my budget I would've went with that, I just hate I can't use an extended battery or a SD card on my g2 though.
 
Thats the killer man. I want expandable memory for music etc until internal storage gets a lot bigger and cheaper.
Other than that, if/when my s3 dies, i quite fancy the Moto G :)

I had to try out the Note 3 though, removable batter and expandable storage are what I love.

Even if I got to deal with Knox :(

Ahh that 4letter word! Has the note3 been rooted yetd

I haven't really tried, I am still learning more about Knox. The only real reason I rooted my GNex was because the battery life sucked and I really wanted a battery percentage in my status bar that wasn't a notification lol.

So right now since both of those needs are met I see no reason to root yet.

I am still learning more about my Note each day too :p

Kind of waiting for 4.4 to roll out for it then might consider rooting.
 
Google keeps pushing out bug fixes for 4.4 and it's probably slowing the developer down. 4.4.2 apparently is getting pushed out today.
 
Yeah people are getting it on their nexus7 as we speak.
Im guessing it will be merged into CM11 by the weekend even though it does nothing to improve my phone (apart from lookin cool in "about phone" screenies :)

The storage is really the only thing I have to gripe about. It's advertised to come with 32gb of storage but no, it only comes with 26gb pre bloat.

I am very frustrated. For some reason, I need Xposed framework but my wifi speed is reduced by half. When Art was enabled, I enjoyed very good wifi speed. I wish the developers will make xposed Art compatible soon.
 
yeah the first boot takes forever and each boot after it take slightly longer but its more than worth it. Thats strange about the wifi thing. I dont use wifi so hadnt noticed.
Yeah DS the advertised storage will include the /system partition. This is why so many people complained about the s4. Youd think it would be much smaller on a nexus though :confused:

Sprint g2 finally got cm11 nightlies, love love art lol
 
Well aparently cm are considering removing it from their roms because non developers are using it then complaining that its broken! :banghead:
 
Both id say lol. Its maybe the fact that some root apps still dont work with it yet but who are CM to tell people how to use their device lol :confused: seems like they wana dumb things right down. Its bad enough we have to do that 7taps on build number to activate dev options lol. Bet they remove the root option next! :D
 
I'm not surprised devs are disabling it. Its not about telling you how to use your device, its about them not wanting to wade through bug reports and posts that aren't their fault.

It caused TONS of headaches in the nexus 5 development forums when its got nothing to do with their ROM/Kernel/ect. First support question was "always are you running ART?" "Yes" Dev response - "I don't provide support for ART"

Fact is its still not ready, or it wouldn't be in developer options.
