Support for Android Runtime (ART) - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any news if the Z2 ships with support for ART? So far HTC One (M8) and the S5 have been confirmed, couldn't find anything about the Z2.

XZ2 has 4.4 so art will be avalible , im not sure about support but it should be mostly fine

ART is not included with Sony's version of KitKat on the Z1 (see comments here: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/03/1...ild-is-live-see-some-full-res-camera-samples/), so it's unlikely it is on the Z2.

Lots of stuff which is on Z2 isn't on Sony's version of Kitkat on Z1. xD

True, but I did also read someone saying the Z2 didn't have the option for ART in developer settings, but I couldn't find the article/post again...

hope its in there. i like the difference it makes
(not much benchmark wise but apps open much faster and run more stable)
id like to know. XZ2 is being released soon so we can find out

I found the no ART on Z2 post:

This was on pre-release firmware, so I guess there's a slight chance they put it in, but I doubt it. Don't expect ART support. Sorry

The current version does not support ART.

Is it posible that we could build the libart.so and delete the libdvm.so (wipe cache and dalvik) in hopes that it forces art??
Any ideas if this works or anyone experianced enough to test out becuse i dont have a XZ2 but im buying one soon

Dumb questions:
Do custom ROMs also get the update OTA? If so, what it's like? You just open Play and get a notification like 'sup, we've changed the looks' ?

Android 4.2.2 leaked for Xperia P (6.3.b.1.500)

Android 4.2.2 leaked for Xperia P, firmware: 6.3.b.1.500
Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRUBxXHjQfM
Is it possible or a fake?
Very very bad fake!)
i think its impossible if sony doesn't announcing it
Sent from my Xperia Sola using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
kernel is new but i Flashed old stock jb rooted kernel
LOL
too fake,impossible we can use old kernel on new Android update.
And that ppl just show the new Album app,it can be install manually.
About the Android version & build number,easy...Simply edit the build.prop & you will get it.
I wish it was real
Am using unofficial cm 10.1 rom by Percy and it's running 4.2.2
Why can't Sony make a stock rom for everyone else?

Don't be dream in 4.3 or 4.2 cause Novathor already stop support their processor and doesn't will release any source for develop to make it compatible with 4.2 or either 4.3, just wait for developer to port it cause XDA have many clever developer
Well, I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrIaL-mfZRU
He says it's Android 4.3 and in comments when people asking link for that he says it's coming in September.
I don't think this is possible but a small hope is still there :fingers-crossed:
I think it is a fake...
The locker could be a third-part app and the displayed version could have been changed editing the build.prop file as far as I know...
Please Correct me if i'm wrong...
Ps. Btw I'd love to see 4.3 on our device but I really don't think Sony will release it...
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Its totally fake, Novathor is dead and they wont give us 4.2 or 4.3 i hope ya'll know that now and thats why we here on XDA !!
So stop this endless discussion because that video is just 1000% fake !!
Its just an edited build.prop bla bla bla!

Although I also think that it is a fake, but even since novathor is dead it is not impossible for Sony to make 4.2 for our devices. I have to admit that it is not very likely.
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
It's fake but its not impossible. Maybe Sony wants to release it for those who have bought golden Xperia P devices.
They've paid a lot of money and they want an updated device.

I asked my Sony friend to check in EMMA. He confirms there's no build for Android 4.2.
100% Fake!
Additionally:
-Novathors are dead
-The video shows no transparent UI
-The settings is not the new Sony style
-Using old Sony wallpaper
-Lockscreen not Sony style

[Q] Are there any XTZ Stock-based Roms??

^title, I like the features the of the stock rom that I cannot find in Aosp roms
Just wondering if any one else knows of any
based on my knowledge there is no stock based rom. well to be honest xtz forum is kind of quite, we have no dedicated devs cause i think they are more busy on other devices or something. there are themes available in the theme and app section though

I am soon working on a stock ROM for Pollux_Windy device, but overall work on it and initial release will come when it comes.
Xperia Z is main device where I will release two ROMS - one fresh and tweaked, customized / modded stock and one AOSP one. Then port equal results to Tablet Z if I can get it work with satisfying results..
It comes when it comes!

I am aiming for an beta / test release for the Xperia Z stock based rom next week. Me myself needs more testing of it, and also isolate battery drain issues so they are totally zero. Then let some guys over the XZ section test it, and begin working on the CM ROM based ROM (perhaps with some 4.4 goodies included)! Then port them both over to Pollux Windy!
Hold your fingers crossed, guys! Time needed: 3-3.5 week!

I am currently watch the development in 3 directions:
1) Stock ROM, with stable performance good UI & Multiusersupport and all functions working
2) CM11 or Android 4.4
3) Ubuntu Touch
I doubt it is going to be easy to develop a solid Stock Rom (realizing MHL, remote Control etc.)
Never heard some great improvments about ubuntu touch.
But, hey-> I'll be watching you

Yes, but it's clearly KitKat on an official Sony device, and Sony said that the ZU, Z1 etc. will be the first ones to get KK. The screenshot is probably from the Z1.

considering that Sony have synced the builds on the Z1 and ZU I have hopes that it will roll out at the same time, maybe the 15 or 16 of Feb?

ART runtime compatible roms?

Have any of you enabled ART in any of the Z2 custom roms with little or no issues? If so, please let me know. I had ART enabled on my LG G2 and I miss it :'(

Art should work on the Z2 but i doubt all apps would work
Art support was removed for safety
You could try finding a libart.so file and putting it in your system and seeing if the runtime option shows up
