It is quite snappy, responsiveness is good, better than on stock (but hey, this is a fresh install). transitions are way smoother, shame that only the stock apps are updated. no updated gmail or anything.

camera app is faster, way faster. not excelent tho

animations are swipe direction based, quite strange in a good way (swiping has a grapical bug btw). try it out. it is ****ing awesome

[Nexus 5 General] ss4rob:
Chainfire mentioned that once SuperSU was fixed to version 2.01, it is recommended to revert to the stock boot.img & flash his updated file. To revert back to the unmodified boot, if you'd rather flash a zip via custom recovery than use fastboot, I created this zip to flash to stock boot.img. I did this, and then flashed the new SuperSU and was rooted correctly.

My battery life was great the first few days, but the last few days haven't been so great. I haven't loaded any new apps, just running stock stuff.

Main culprits are Voice Calls

NFC Service

Android systems

Anyone else able to turn off NFC? I have a check mark, but I can't uncheck it. I am averaging 6% per hour, seems high for me... 35 minutes on the phone and 22 minutes screen time. I normally much much better.

[Nexus 5 General] sufibravo:
I can't think of anything else that might fix it. Just in case, here's what you need to make sure you've done.

1) Rooted properly with SU 2.01. Verify by opening the SuperSU app.

2) Downloaded the beta version apk that was linked earlier. The Play Store version will not work.

3) Delete the data/data Titanium folder and restart.

4) Make sure you have the Pro Key installed first. (My Play Store was showing the green button as installed, but when I clicked on Play Store listing for the Pro Key, the button turned to install again (meaning that it wasn't installed, even though it was shown to be).

Hopefully you can get it to work!

[Nexus 5 General] topgeardave:
In my opinion xposed in its current state won't ever work on art. This is because dalvik uses JIT compilation and xposed uses this to its advantage. To make it work on art, I've got a feeling that all modules will have to be recoded from scratch in order for it to work from the moment it is installed. Modules will no longer be able to work "in the moment" as ART uses ahead of time compilation.

My only question is xposed worked perfectly fine on KITKAT 4.4.4 where I enabled ART! Why wouldn't it work on ART?

I first did a clean 4.4.4 install then before installing any apps switched to ART and then installed everything. Xposed worked exactly like it was supposed to. No glitches. Gravity box too.

well, then I suggest you change opinion. Look here for the developers view of this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53766771&postcount=6

The developer have had an xposed for art prototype running since december. So there is no conceptual problem. Just a lot of work.

I'm pretty sure we'll see xposed for L when L is ready.

But don't expect xposed for kitkat with art, that is not very likely according to the developer.
[Nexus 5 General] neriamarillo:
Lurking around in L today I found this app in TiBu. I froze it and my MMS still came through (At&t no WiFi using Hello SMS). Whoever is having issues take a look at that. Maybe someone with more knowledge on it can look further into it.

HOW-TO FIX DROPBOX on ANDROID L DEVELOPER PREVIEW

​

This method worked for me, so hopefully it'll do the same for you as well.​

1. Download Root Explorer from the Play Store.

2. In Root Explorer navigate to:

sdcard/Android/data/

3. Delete the com.dropbox.android folder.

4. Next go to your device's root directory (/) and go to:

/data/system/

5. Delete the dropbox folder.

Just for safe keeping I booted into recovery and to wipe dalvik and cache, rebooted, reinstalled Dropbox and it's been working smoothly ever since.

I basically summed up my blog post and posted it here in this thread.
[Nexus 5 General] Hannibal226:
UPDATE:

Help-Index

Camera

Problems could be crashes, freezes, black screens or reboots.

If u have camera problems u can try different things:

- delete data of camera app

- uninstall updates if camera app

- extract camera apk from rom and replace it

- change any settings like picture or video resolution in camera

- deactivate NuPlayer option in Developer Options

SystemUI

Problems could be FCs of SystemUI.

If u have problems while phone is charging (depends of battery level),

unplug the USB cable, restart SystemUI and then re-plug the usb cable.

Like here.

If u have other or still problems, look into Flash then.

Titanium Backup

For a working Titanium Backup u have to use the official Beta, as the standard release won't run at all.

VPN

Connections are successful, but routing isn't.

This is still a developer preview and surly get fixed in next release(s).

Yes, as long as you can deal with some apps force closing (quite rare, but some apps just don't work yet), MMS not working properly (I can neither send not receive on Wi-Fi, and only send on mobile data - receiving hasn't worked once), and some other minor issues. Overall it's very stable and usable.
[Nexus 5 General] richport29:
No MMS would be a deal breaker for me. Is this a common issue?
[Nexus 5 General] eep2378:
As long as wifi is OFF, MMS will send fine. There is an apparent issue when trying to send MMS(which is sent over mobile date typically anyway) where Wifi being active somehow interferes with MMS being sent correctly.
