Hi guys. I am quiet a bit noob here. I have N5 rooted and TWRP installed 4.4.4 Nexus 5 and I got few questions;

Can I flash on 4.4.4 or I need to flash over L (preview) ?

Can I recover my twrp backup after installation?

What about battery life?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Flash what over kitkat or L, if you're referring to the zip from this thread, it's one way to install L on your phone....

Make sure you follow the directions in the op exactly though...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vadergr:
the 81c is the latest version?Is it stable enough for one week test daily use ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] minidou-77:
I've run it for one week

Absolutely love the new design but the few reboots (approx 1 per day) and the graphical bugs made me go back to mahdi

Really looking forward the official release... ☺
[Nexus 5 Android Development] der_sascha:
Is there some who can confirm that heads up only show in app that develop for android l? So WhatsApp an Facebook not working right?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Dude, search... We've been over this before, you and I...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jaxidian:
Make sure you are using the latest that mentions L in the tweet. Their most recently posted app version as of last night had a non-L version. The most recent tweet with an L version is this one: https://mobile.twitter.com/TitaniumBackup/status/488627763734380544

I created a version of the rom with Racer Kernel (wait for 3.0) , 445 PPI with multi DPI playstore, and only the essential gapps. If anyone is interested I give you the link. All The gapps are visible in the screenshot.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] JahSam:
Hi ! Did you open a thread ?

What your rom is based on ? the LPV ? Huff & Puff ? Pure white ?

That's cool to see more guys working on L :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
If you flash the boot.img from huff n puff you'll get the better ramdisk changes. Then if you flash racer kernel it'll keep the ramdisk as it's anykernel ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Hufflepuff? What about Slytherin?

Is there a way to backup apps?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes, make a list on a piece of paper which apps you install, and use that list to reinstall them from the play store
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iba21:
Ahahahahahah great idea..

Better than s-pen.. pure real multitouch and perfect pressing sensor
[Nexus 5 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
CarbonBackup even works on Windows Phone and iPhone, too.

If you're proper crazy you could even use a red pen!

Running TWRP 2.7.1.1 and getting the same result. No OS installed error.

Flashing probably took 5 minutes for me.

Now i see the Google Logo! No Animation, hope it will Boot:)

Great Work so far vomer.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jason78729:
Will somebody please explain what's different better with N5 L ROM?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mb9023:
I'm gonna wait another 5 minutes and if it doesn't load I'm retrying. I'm at 10+ minutes now at the Google logo with no boot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jiggs82:
I'll just wait for the root safe version;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
I don't worry about it, just offering if needed for some or better performance ?

I'm downloading and will see how it works in some more minutes....

Thanks & CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iGoogleNexus:
Eh? Do you even I/O?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tauzins:
yea mine is also no os installed, maybe corrupt download? idk weird... im curious to why its failing
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gavtaylor:
stuck on Google logo

quite a few people saying they are stuck on the google boot logo.

I was too for ages, then I checked recovery log and found it couldnt mount /cache

I had to reflash the cache file from the Google tar to get things up and running again. after that it was less than 5 minutes to boot up.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mb9023:
We're in this thread to test vomer's image. Please stop offering a different image as a solution.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes... I'm certain that by the time L officially launched, all the Google Apps will have been updated...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eluspo:
Anybody having issues with g+ when you press the 3 dots menu it force closes?

Yeah. It's a problem with the preview
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Clear your app data & try again...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] todorcim:
No problems what so ever with g+, on any variant of the L preview. Uninstall and reinstall g+, make sure its the latest version(4.6.0) and make sure play services is updated also(6.1.11).

Other then a clean flash that's all I got.

What build is everyone running? 79 or 81?

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Just a thought that it looks as though google have pulled the 81 build, if everyone is running that it could be the cause of the crashes with newer apps, I'm currently downloading 79 stock to see if it has the same issues.

Just a thought.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
No. It's not needed with the playstore fit support

What I read a few minutes ago said Nov 1. I googled " latest nexus 6 news" was an article from today. Said everything on the phone is romured, but android L looks like Nov 1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Yes it is
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jetbruceli:
I don't think we will see the official l until at least a week after the nexus x
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iSplassh:
Hi there,

Will we ha e to go back to stock lock and unroot to get the update? Or will there be a .img to flash manually...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] iSplassh:
Yes...back to stock? Or for the .img ? ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Both
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gn00my:
In a few hours we will know more about the release of L and what to do . waiting for the news from Google ..... Hope it will come fast
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
This is Google you're talking about... All they do fast is make money and websearches... Everything else happens in their own time....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gn00my:

I'd suggest taking a closer read at that then... It's announcing a new L developers preview... Not Lollipop itself...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gn00my:
Dude you are too fast :) i edited my post just a few seconds later when i realised it , relax :P i´m sorry for my mistake ( remembering now why i dont comment here )
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
Its still preview, no date for official release. The new preview image will be available on the 17th. The official release "In the coming weeks" as they say.﻿ I think they want sell nexus 6 and 9 before update their others devices...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Iirc usually the images drop the same time the first device goes on sale...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
Right ... They open pre-orders on October 17 but do not deliver until November ... better if the final version is online on the 17th but I have a doubt ... They made us wait not bad then they may well deploy Lollipop along with the first delivery in early November ... God only knows .. :angel:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
9 and TV go on pre-order the 17... Not the 6...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
Ho...! So wait and see..!:crying:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] proyatzu:
Yes but im sure it will be completely different from the 1st preview we have, cant wait

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:

So would work with my metro service i have now
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] l3giticonia:
Didn't know cause I heard the radio wasn't working on l5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Heard from where?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] l3giticonia:
Another post said radio doesn't connect
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Where? Which radio? (there's at least 4 in the n5)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] l3giticonia:
Does it work with others service
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hellsgod:
I've tested this L preview and another, on both my .16 radio connected. So no need to flash the "L" radio.

hells
[Nexus 5 Android Development] l3giticonia:
So flash lpreview radio from June 26? Or no
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
What other services?

I've had no issues with the L radios, so why not flash them?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] hellsgod:
Because I just wanted to make sure my L-prev kernel boots up and runs. I need a more or less constant testing environment for all roms I make kernels for (MIUI/4.4.4/L). I don't run L as my primary rom, so I didn't saw the need to update the radio ;)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
The method for flashing the .IMG is for fastbooting it with ADB right? Just vetting everything setup
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
No, you use fastboot, not adb. Fastboot is for use in the bootloader, adb requires a running Android environment... Different tools..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
Oh thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
If you're doing to fastboot flash the next L dev prev tarball from Google, it will include a flash-all script.... As long as you have fastboot installed and findable in the executables PATH, it's the easiest way to flash.. Keep in mind it is a complete clean flash, wipes everything.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
Sorry what do you mean executables path?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Where your os is configured to look for executable files.

In MacOS/Linux it's the PATH variable

In Windows it takes a little more work to tweak (but depending on how you installed adb and fastboot possibly not needed.) Windows path editing

"Where supported by the hardware, your device will wake up as soon as you pick it up or tap the screen twice..."

Does that include the Nexus 5 though? I know the G2 has it and the N5 can do it via custom methods with a significant cost to battery life, but is it classed as "supported" for DT2W if it doesn't already exist? I certainly hope so!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Clayne:
Afaik the Nexus 5 has a Touchscreen, therefore it should work ;p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GaSpartacus:
Nope, the N5 hardware doesn´t support it natively like the G2. If it supported it wouldn´t drain like hell when you use custom apps to use that functionality

Although the APIs for Android 5.0 are now final, the system image for end-users is not available yet. So the following preview system images are available for you to test your apps on a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7. These are non-final builds and their use is governed by the Android L Preview License Agreement.

I think that the new developer preview already is the stable version.

in 2 weeks the new nexus 6 comes out ... and there the stable version is already on it ..

I don't think that google will fix any bugs in the next 2 weeks in my opinion

we will see:p:good::fingers-crossed::laugh:
