i only rebooted when i enabled ART. i think it's automatic after that (be prepared for a super long boot the first time). i'm hoping that rebooting is a thing of the past (never had to reboot an iPhone unless it was updating the OS). BTW, is ART only a custom ROM thing? my two Nexus devices upgraded but the 'select runtime' isn't showing in dev options and they're still using Dalvik as they're still a bit laggy and unstable.
Gen 1? I think N7 KK factory image has been released now man. Why no ART?? I was gona do my nephews N7 on wednesday
Nah its not just a custom rom thing.
Thanx peeps :beer:
Guess Google just didn't put it into the stock build for the N7...
Thats a shame because its supposed to help the lower spec'd devices run smootly and be more noticable than on the high-end machines
P.s, have you activated Developer Options in settings yet to get to the Run Time toggle?
Ah right. Why is this?? Do you think google are just kinda beta'ing it or something?
Id have thought all the Nexi would have got it. I can imagine it would make a huge difference to say a gnex or gen1 N7 wouldnt you mate? :beer:
P.s, forgot to look at your profile mate sorry, hope you dont think i was patronising or anything :thumbup:

Anyone had a problem with being on a rom running in ART then restoring a 4.3 backup?
I restored carbon earlier then had a big walk so put my earbuds in n put an album on PowerAmp and i swear i got to half a track before it stopped, looked at the phone and everything was FCing till it rebooted. This happened 3times till i gave up, got home and put KK back on now my tunes play fine.
Is it a case of once you KK/ART, theres no goin back lol????
Once you p0p!
Well, you can always switch back to Dalvik if you wanted to
Well it was a nandroid install so surely thats clean without wiping anything? Idk tbh lol. I never wipe before restoring a nandroid anyway
Well, you can always switch back to Dalvik if you wanted to
But surely restoring a 4.3 rom nandroid did switch me back to Dalvik? see these are things i have trouble understanding. If i get a chance tonight im gona do some reading about Run Time :beer:
