Google’s new Android RunTime (ART) is available to use on the Nexus 5 as a part of Android 4.4, but is it really worth turning on and using? After spending the last couple of days with the heir apparent to Dalvik for Android, it’s safe to say that while there are no earth shattering changes to the overall experience, it certainly doesn’t hurt to make the switch.
ART is very simple to enable, as long as you’ve got a few minutes and about 8% of your total battery to spare if you’re not connected to an outlet). You’ll need to enable the developer settings first. Head to About Phone in your Settings and violently bash the Build Number with your finger until the OS tells you that you’re a developer. When you press the back button, there will be a new section for Developer options. Inside that menu you’ll find runtime options, where you can select ART and reboot your phone.
