I just hope is faster than the L preview. L Preview is really slow compared to 4.4.4 with ART and 0.5x (or the default 1x) animations.

[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
The tension is building

*coughNSFWcough*

Its like edging
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
It is a PREVIEW!

It's for app developers so they can have their apps ready when L launches.

It's not for end users. It is MONTHS old.
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
You don't say....

Anyway.......We're hoping the same thing then! ;)

[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
If final L is slower than KitKat why should we update? Every Android version got better and smoother. Lets hope the best! ??
[Nexus 5 General] neo2306:
Waiting for the final Android L

5:52 pm here !!
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
Actually

Most devices that launched with ICS may BE ABLE to run KK

But they're better off with 4.1/2

Kk got better on the RAM side

It still needs better processing to keep up with the pack
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I think final L will be the fastest and smoothest Android ever
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Blah blah blah hype hype hype speculation blah speculation blah blah hype blah hype....

Seriously people, just be patient... L is coming, all you're doing with this frenzy you're building up yourselves to is disappointment if it's not launched or announced today...
[Nexus 5 General] Jimlarck:
Considering the Android One devices will run Android L, it's not too far fetched to say that it'll be light on the hardware.
[Nexus 5 General] Mikulec:
And at the end of a day this thread will be full of: Buuuuu, Google u failed!!!! Why no L for us? .... :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
Perhaps there could be some kind of build.prop option for Android One devices.

Just like today there's one for 512 mb devices in KitKat. ro.config.low_ram=true

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
One devices are still Snapdragon 400 + 512MB ram equivalent

The 400 is a very capable processor

Its the difference between an i3 and a Pentium 4HT

The newer architecture makes more of a difference than the clock and power

The newer processor just PERFORMERS better despite the newer OS

Old hardware just can't keep up
[Nexus 5 General] sirovai:
Probably Android L wont be released today... Those are the rumors on the web.
[Nexus 5 General] sidnoit22:

I'm guessing announcement today..rollout in a few weeks.... Decided to flash factory image and wait to see how the update will come.. Stock unrooted is not so bad.. Although I miss xposed modules :( hopefully an update will come so they work with ART.
[Nexus 5 General] greveldinges:
Just did exactly the same, and I also miss my xposed modules... The stock rom however is pretty great to be honest.
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
Well, you could wait and flash the factory image of L when it comes out, usually when ota starts, so probably before most of us get the ota.
[Nexus 5 General] x10user2011:
Does ota start today if it's announced today?
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
By end of this month for sure.:good:
[Nexus 5 General] greveldinges:
We know just as much as you...
[Nexus 5 General] ericsignals:
Most likely I will flash the image...but if I'm busy or away from my PC and I can get an ota I'll take that too. I like to keep my options open[emoji41]
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
Well I don't know, we will find out if they announce something.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
It'll be interesting to see if google releases ota today or factory images. They've done something different this round. For example the Dev preview that hasn't been done by android before. If the rumors of them needing more time to finalize L are true then I don't see why they can't release factory images of L today and if all goes well start staggering otas within the next few weeks. Its not like we haven't had the many more otas come our way once a new version cones out . look at what happened with 4.4 we got 4.4.4 as a patch/ bug fix. So its not like its not possible but well see in a few hours.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
I'm waiting for m........
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:

I just hope that Google optimized the final version of L. The preview is not that fast. But it's a... preview.
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Xposed will be ready... Just wait and see.
[Nexus 5 General] luisangel89:
If something is going down today what time can we expect them to drop the news?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Before midnight Pacific time.
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
If its not out by 4pm PST, then I'd doubt there's going to be a release or even announcement today

Companies on the west coast tend to get it out from 9am-1pm PST

Article states the N6 has a 6" display. So it WILL be the bigger size instead of the 5.2". I'm liking them stating the dual front facing stereo speaking and turbo charger too! N6 available for pre-order in late Oct. and N5 will have 5.0 "in coming weeks" too, can't wait!

[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
Exactly this. Being amused by the hype/let down
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Microsoft has a selfie phone out... Why not Google... (apparently Microsoft thinks that camera gets more usage anyways, why not make it the better spec'd of the two...)

Edit: quick google shows that HTC has one too..

Well, don't blame me, I've been trying to tone down the hype. :p

My excitement has just gotten stronger for the N6 LoL

OK Google

Easy access to information and performing tasks

Even if your screen is off, you can say "OK Google" on devices with digital signal processing support such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 9Talk to Google on the go to get quick answers, send a text, get directions and more
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
I guess the best buy right now would be the Moto X 2014 if you can bear the smaller battery. You won't miss out any of the new goodies including the voice commands with screen off. Feel sad for the Nexus 4 owners though, surely they could have provided an update to them as well!
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
lol they edited it,its now-

"Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks."

Here in India since we don't have the Moto maker, so we have plenty of stock so that's a good thing. And i dont think they are doing away with Nexus 5 either, they are probably gonna ship the new lots with Lollipop as they've edited their N5 page now, looks beautiful.

http://www.google.co.in/nexus/5/

Looks like N4 is getting Lollipop after all. So a sweet lollipop update for all indeed! For me though, I'll probably stick with my N5 or go for the Moto X[only because of the price]!

[Nexus 5 General] Jim93cl:
A short rewiev. Tried for about 15 minutes. System seems smooth and stable to me, the UI is really good, something is not like the version at the Google I/O, the signal icons are the same of KK. Only dialer, Google+, calculator and settings use the new material design, the other apk like calendar, chrome, gmail ecc are the same of KK. To me seems really good for a first realese! Keybord is beatiful!
[Nexus 5 General] ck.chunkeat:
It depends, just make sure you know what you are doing by flashing this preview. This preview is for developer and there will be bugs, which might cause certain feature of the phone to be unusable.

I don't think we have that button in stock rom. At least I didn't notice it eventhough I've used stock rom for 6 months.

I wonder if this will be supported on the Nexus 5!!!
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
The Nexus 5 never came with a stock messaging app though. Just Hangouts. I'm just wondering if they are reverting back to the old way. And if so, why?

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

The Nexus 6 may have special hardware optimization to handle that better like the other moto devices do. It may drain battery more on our Nexus 5. But who knows. It could happen
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Probably just a new icon for hangouts...
[Nexus 5 General] XeLLaR*:
Maybe because hangouts is too sluggish. There are rumors Google is about to drop a new messaging client that works without Googlemail, just like WhatsApp.

[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Not everyone words things properly. He could have meant updates to the preview as in final release. But even if it is just an updated developer preview, I'll bet it's closer to the final release than what we have now and I'll take it.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
He also linked to the developers site, where the preview is hosted, rather than the Google site that hosts the release images...

And the tweet was targeted at developers, not the masses

[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
So... Its just a more stable but still a preview? No release on official?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
More stable, maybe... Include all the recent changes and tweaks, most likely

Cm has said they'll have an L based ROM for the opo within 3 months of L launch. (full, not dev prev)
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
They actually fixed a lot of bugs just looking at the bug tracker but we will see how stable it is Friday.
[Nexus 5 General] hahajoker:
You have to figure the dev preview that will release on Friday has to be pretty close to the final 5.0 that will ship. Google have nothing to gain by giving developers an older version of Android L. IMO, this will most likely be the 5.0 build that rolls out. However, it gives Google the chance to have a larger user base test out the build and report bugs on forums all over the web. They may make a few fixes based on those bugs and then use that build as the OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] Atok_fr:
The question is now will they update their google apps with material design for this update ? We have Play Store, Google+, Photos, Chrome, but what about music, maps, gmail, and the rest of the apps ?

I got to thinking about it and I wonder. I'd like to think that Google already has next preview loaded onto their servers . Do you think that there is any chance that the preview can be loaded on to the developer web page at like 00:01, automatically or do you think we have to wait until noon tomorrow Pacific time for some google intern to come and press the upload button ?

So what are the chances the new preview build contains all the new and updatet google apps? (Gmail, Play music, maps, new messaging app,..)
