Wipe everything in recovery and then flash-all.bat without editing the file.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
You got me then. That's weird the issue is happening if you havent done any modifications to it.
[Nexus 5 General] Langduscher:
OK so with Twitter, Docs & Sheets working AndroidL is "stable enough" as a DD.

Only thing that's bugging me atm is that pictures don't show up (or not soon enough) in Twitter & LinkedIn and the like.

My bad or...? (do you experience the same thing?)
[Nexus 5 General] harshalkatakia:
Yeah, I'm assuming or rather hoping it's a particular app that's messing with the ROM there since there are no modifications at all with the system.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
I had an issue where the home key stopped responding and it turned out that an option in one app was causing this. Unselecting it solved the problem but it took a while (including an unnecessary reflash) to figure that out.

If it was me, I'd reflash (just to start fresh) and slowly add and play with apps and watch the behavior. By slowly, I'm talking days before I have all my apps installed.
[Nexus 5 General] harshalkatakia:
I did reboot after installing every couple of apps to check if there are any issues, but for some reason it didn't happen at that time. I uninstalled the last 1 or 2 apps I installed to see if it happens again.

You guys been experiencing network drops?

I'm sorry if this was asked/discussed before, but I did search through the thread and couldn't find anything.

I tend to experience network drops whereas it wasn't a problem before. Anyone experiencing the same?

I thought you had to join the beta for those though? These have been officially updated? I might just be confused though..:confused:

Regardless; your previous post was appreciated!
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
No, Tyrany shared those apps with drive. They are not beta apps. Just the roll out looks too slow as some already received it on the I/O day.

Just backup your data and do it right. People are already reporting getting stuck on the Google logo because they didnt wipe everything.

Too bad. I guess I wait till you guys can tell if root can be applied.

No root -> no Titanium Backup -> No restoring of apps and data -> No preview for me. ;)

[Nexus 5 General] Spider_Pig27:
Its freaking beautiful!!!!!
[Nexus 5 General] Jimlarck:
Everything is buttery smooth and the animations are flawless. Don't know why the engadget video had a laggy Nexus 5, maybe it was Power Saver Mode? Don't know but it seems smoother than kitkat and compared to my iPad there's no difference in smoothness, in fact there's a nicer feel to my Nexus 5 than my iPad
[Nexus 5 General] obtained:
I'd even say smoother than iOS. No lag, no stuttering. Just smooth.

How does this L perform as a daily rom? I know about some 3rd party app problems but that's no problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
That depends on which 3rd party apps you use daily. For me, its good for daily use.

Google Docs/Sheets

Hi there,

has anybody found a way to install Google Docs/Sheets? Via the Play store it gives a -112 error.

On a sidenote, does Greenify make your phone crash and reboot and rebuild all your apps or did I do something wrong with the rooting?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] lets_zock:
Thanked you because I failed.?

There were apks some pages back.

And maybe Greenify isn't compatible yet.
[Nexus 5 General] sufibravo:
Multiple links have been posted for Docs/Sheets versions that work with 'L' in the past few pages. As for Greenify, its one of many apps that have yet to be updated for proper L support.
[Nexus 5 General] yoavtabakman:
Greenfy don't work on L yet. Docs and sheet work only in the beta apps.

I think you may be able to move the app data manually...Maybe? But I havent tried it. The devs of Titanium Backup are working on updating their app though so you may just have to wait.

Helium backup is working without root for me. You'd just have to install and run the helium pc tool once after reboot..

But I've read that titanium backup is currently testing a compatible app for L.

Battery drain is pretty bad here so far. Also, the phone gets pretty hot now when doing general browsing and using the Facebook app.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I've noticed this a few times. I have a feeling its certain apps that cause it. I notice also that when it does this, miscellaneous is showing up in battery stats. Like something was stuck in the "on" position. My last one was media server that was showing a lot of use. Usually a reboot would get things straighten out again.
[Nexus 5 General] jagreci:
Hopefully it's just because it's a preview developer edition.

Question. I made a nandroid backup but the full install .bat wiped the SD card as well. So I have no backup now. How can I flash another ROM (aka 4.4 or down) now?
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Filezilla on my PC and an FTP server app works the best for me. Transfer over WiFi.

Download the 4.4.4 Factory image and install it the same way.

I plugged my phone into my PC to transfer all my pictures to the DCIM folder. Everything went well and I went to transfer my ringtones, and it stopped transferring. Now I can no longer see the data of my SD card in any browser, but I can in TWRP. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5 General] Travisimo:
Yay. Does this mean Google will probably not be updating the preview anytime soon? Obviously, we'll see stuff for the devs here pop up now that the source code is available. And hopefully, we'll start seeing Google Apps start getting updating with the new UI as we get closer to release. For me, I wouldn't mind keeping the preview as a daily driver up until release if I knew there'd be updates to the preview and apps. However, if all we're going to see is the current preview release, I'd probably go back to 4.4.4 and just wait for the full release.

Figured out MMS + WiFi. Use Chomp MMS and enable the T-Mobile WiFi calling workaround because it disables WiFi while the MMS is sending then quickly renables it.

Whys it pretty bad he'll leave L ? its a development build not even meant to be a daily driver..nothing bad about it.
[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
preference of mms type service is totally irrelevant to the preview (aside from mms being flakey in L)

but it all comes down to adoption, if the people you interact with don't use 3rd party solutions (which a ton of people don't in the US since MMS is essentially free) then it doesn't matter how amazing or not amazing they are.

for me MMS is important because of group texts coupled with sms/mms being unlimited and basically costing me next to nothing for that service.

as to be slightly more on topic, textra (which is essentially a lightweight version of chomp) has the same option and has been working for me.

[Nexus 5 General] davidov2009:
There's definitely something going wrong with the preview on some of you guys, ArsTechnica achieved a massive battery improvement on the N5 with their web browsing test (loading a web page every 15 secs until phone dies). They ran the test twice on both KitKat and L and averaged the result. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014...ta-we-put-android-l-through-our-battery-test/

The 100->0 screen on time improved from 5:45 on KitKat to 7:51 (almost 8) hours on L, of course that is without any stand by time. Considering stand by time is most easily improved with software tweaks, the overall improvement of real life usage should eventually be even better than this.

I've noticed that mobile data can't be turned on/off via third party apps (like Trigger or Tasker).

Does anyone know if this is intended or if it's a bug on android L?
[Nexus 5 General] vpraveenis:
Maybe the battery lasts longer when running that sequence of tasks. But on day-to-day usage, it does not last much. On light usage I have about 50-60% of battery remaining at end of day with KitKat but with the L preview, it goes down to around 30%. But I dont feel like going back to KitKat after getting used to all the goodies on L. By the time they do a final release, I am sure that everything will be ironed out and battery will be at par with KitKat in the worst case. There are definitely many signs of improvement and once with the final build and all apps updated to latest SDK things will be definitely better in a few months :good:

It would be great if google includes the Battery historian feature incase they release a update to the preview. That would help us identify which apps use up battery. It will also help the devs to fine tune the app to become more battery efficient.

In its preview form the sdcard gets screwed about and a complete wipe is needed. U think they'll keep the file paths that way for the official release? Cus otherwise surely OTA will screw everyone's phones up?
[Nexus 5 General] tangosierra_:
My normal battery life on KK was 3.5hr SOT give or take 15 minutes. Now its gone down to 2hr give or take. I don't have anything set up differently (no google sync, 1h AccuWeather and 1h twitter + WhatsApp), and I've also noticed the phone gets hot sometimes when data is on (not using it. Just sitting on the table). It doesn't happen as much with data off but I've caught it happening a few times - seems to be some rogue app but I can't debug yet because I can't get my root to work. Just wondering if anybody else experiences the problem?

PS: my miscellaneous is at 26% and whatsapp at 11%. No idea why WhatsApp would drain so much
[Nexus 5 General] CrashOverride1995:
Hey Guys just a quick question.

If I flash L as a secondary ROM via MultiROM will it still change the mount path of my Internal Storage as it did when I installed using the flashable zip by vomer???
[Nexus 5 General] xoioiox:
A big problem

I have a big problem with miscellaneous which drains battery a lot.
[Nexus 5 General] Mark376:
Keep looking this page

http://developer.android.com/preview/support.html

[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Hasn't it been suggested that miscellaneous is apps that arnt compatible trying to run?
[Nexus 5 General] blinqipa:
Guys I don't know of someone else has discovered this ,but long pressing the Easter egg shows me the KitKat easter egg :
[Nexus 5 General] Wenzo2:
Miscellaneous is only the power consumed by application. For example: you use chrome for a while and that app consume 0,5% of battery. In this case chrome doesn't appear in battery statistics but it appear on miscellaneous. And if you use Facebook for a while and that app consume 2% of battery, you'll find Facebook in battery statistics(because it consumed more than 1% of battery)
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I think Google will alert the users to backup their devices before installing the OTA. The OTA will most probably wipe everything so that this /0 thing doesn't occur. Otherwise, like you said, they may also end up changing the file paths to the original (kitkat).

Who knows? :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
Its also been said high misc drain was from unlocked boot loader.

Just saying.

[Nexus 5 General] tangosierra_:
Why would an unlocked BL cause battery drain? O___O
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Unlocked boot loader is not causing drain in the os. What's next the boogie man...

[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
No chance, it's not just xda users and developers with Nexus devices... They won't make thousands of people start from scratch.

It will be be fine when it's officially released, I don't know why people are breaking a sweat over the developer preview
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Ah well, Asus just jumped it's padfone from Jelly Bean to kitkat few days ago and they alerted users to backup everything as it would wipe everything. An update from KitKat to "L" is surely a HUGE update. So, chances of data being wiped while updating are more!

But as you said, let's hope Google doesn't follow the same thing but wiping everything before/after a huge android version bump is certainly recommended :)
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Well that shut me up didn't it haha

But yea I still don't think the average user is going to have to wipe... Or at least I hope

I mean I haven't heard of iOS users having had to wipe there device
[Nexus 5 General] Anthonok:
I don't know the reasoning but that was a piss poor move on Asus' part. That should NEVER be required of a consumer. Then again all 17 padfone users probably didn't care.
