There is no new Chrome yet, it's exactly the same as what you get on KK. Just like with all the other Google apps (except for some built-in ones, like the dialer).

There's your problem. You aren't doing a full wipe, which is known to cause a lot of issues with this preview. Just run the script as intended (with the wipe), and everything will most likely be fine.
[Nexus 5 General] veritas2884:
Alright, I am going back. Thanks for the info! Ready for life on the edge.
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
I get better battery life too. I'm definitely liking this new ROM. It's surprisingly bug free for being a developer preview and makes a good daily driver. MMS works for me on Cricket (Make sure you change your APN, even on Sprint). The only annoying bug actually in Android (not apps like FB transparency bug) is the lockscreen sometimes refuses to unlock and I have to reboot the phone. Not a big deal though.

I got 6 hours of on screen time yesterday w/ about 24 hours total use after a charge.

Nah not that one, I'm sure there's a second one about Google providing updates. If I get a chance to factory reset and find it later, I'll add it to this post :)

EDIT:

Skip to 6:51 and you'll briefly see the message I was talking about. It says "Google Services" so whether that pertains to Play Services or the OS itself is open to interpretation. But either way, I don't remember this ever being in previous Android versions (correct me if I'm wrong) :)
[Nexus 5 General] Flav106:
Do you have a screen with your battery life ?!

Because I can't end the day with L and i'm not alone is this case...

6h screen time ?! I have only 2h max. Do you have a screen ? What are your settings ?
[Nexus 5 General] Luxferro:
Yeah I have screen caps. Will post them when I get home in about an hour
[Nexus 5 General] Langduscher:
What I said earlier - Google made improvements to battery usage (they're on par with the current Custom Kernel Devs) - but:

The real imprvememts lie within app APIs - which is why they released the Developer Preview in the 1st place. Apps can use battery far more wisely as they can now (on KitKat, for that matter). There lies the true potential of battery life.

Squeeze in a couple of more Mahs into the battery and you're Golden.

Now imagine the custom kernel devs get to work their magic...

Good times coming:)
[Nexus 5 General] lets_zock:
I'm getting great battery life, too! :)

But somehow I'm unable to install Google Docs and Sheets, it always fails. Am I alone with this?
[Nexus 5 General] harshalkatakia:
The first time I flashed L preview was with the wipe, I just dirty flashed back on it. Now I just wiped system and flashed it again, it seems fine now and there's no root, so I assume it'll be stable enough.
[Nexus 5 General] Langduscher:
No. Known issue.
[Nexus 5 General] ncvikingx97:
Has anyone seen these nav buttons? I am on a moto x so sadly I can't test this out, but I did see this screenshot from a chrome preview for android l. I would personally MUCH prefer these to the "PlayStation" buttons.
[Nexus 5 General] Hannibal226:
Hey guys,

I just want a quick confirmation, as I'm not sure where the problem is:

My Google Maps in FCs. I'm sure it worked already. And had some problem like this on 4.4.4

So anyone experienced the same or can't use maps generally, etc?
[Nexus 5 General] Tyrany:
Where can we get dat dev preview?
[Nexus 5 General] ss4rob:
A weekend with L on Sprint

I did a clean wipe (I flashed dirty first just to see and didn't have a Home button and notification bar, and didn't know about the Setup Wizard trick to fix that) and thus far everything has been good. A few things I've noticed:

In addition to copying sdcard to my Mac (more on that below), I did an adb backup on 4.4.4 and adb restore on L to get most of my data back except for text messages and call logs.

I'm on Sprint and use Hangouts, and I can't send MMS, and if I receive an MMS, I get a message to download but it never actually downloads, and my APN settings are the same as on 4.4.4. Anyone have this working on Sprint?

Tethering no longer works (native) - it starts but doesn't actually give an address nor routes any traffic. Anyone have this working on Sprint?

My VPN no longer connects.

Battery life is still out - right now it's been bad, but I've been hacking on it furiously.

I rooted by flashing the boot.zip early in this thread (when I used boot.img, it didn't stick) with TWRP and SuperSU 2.0 that was not fixed for L. ConnectBot works properly with the SELinux settings so I was able to do some minor database modifications (GCM reconnect times increased to 5/6 minutes).

I archived earlier versions of Facebook & Twitter (didn't like new permissions) and both of them worked just fine, no comment or FC issues. Mighty Grocery crashes, and MX Player using H/W+ crashes, but using H/W works fine on a local 1080p60fps video I have.

I backed up my pictures using Android File Transfer, but when I put them back on the phone the time stamps were all wrong, and screwed up the order of pictures in Photos and QuickPic - the fix option didn't help. To fix this, I booted into TWRP where I can run adb root commands, and pushed my local folders to /sdcard - push as root apparently keeps the time stamps, so clearing data from Google+ and signing in again with Photos (and a quick fix from QuickPic) put my pictures back in order, and the camera app starting quickly again.

So I'm going to keep this as my DD, and await a fix for MMS on Sprint to appear, and Wi-Fi tethering as well (I'm not too hopeful for VPN fixes). I'm really liking the look & feel, smoothness, notifications, the battery saver option (it really works when it kicks in), and of course, living on the bleeding edge, heh. Thanks and good luck!

Dang, were you running battery saver whole time or the last 20%?
[Nexus 5 General] Valdorous:
Dark green is normal, they grey-ed out (unless I'm mistake) should indicate the battery saver. :D

(I have pretty much the same battery life, without the battery saver so I'm almost sure it's that :) )
[Nexus 5 General] Luxferro:
Battery saver kicks in at 15% at stock settings, which is what I use.

No, the grey part is the projected future battery usage, based on your usage up until that point (which is the green part).
[Nexus 5 General] lets_zock:
Nope.

And I don't think Google will support it, either.

A theme manager is a great thing, yes. But it can't be achieved without a slightly bigger battery drain and more work for the CPU. Especially with low ram devices it just wouldn't work.

I feel stupid, seeing as I should've been able to see that clearly on my screen..

You can star it all you want but I just don't see Google adding it.
[Nexus 5 General] xqz:
I am having this issue too. I thought it was because I did not wipe the SD card and manually flashed everything. Just did a re-flash with a full wipe yet I still have this problem. Did you ever find the reason why?
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
I just installed few apps from the play store and noticed that my phone is not lagging anymore during the installation of apps, although it used to lag earlier.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:

[Nexus 5 General] daddybux:
what's the good?

Did not flashing data partition workout for you? I agree about not wanting to have to transfer all my data. It worked in reverse for me, coming off of L back to KK. Either way I'm about to attempt the experiment myself.

From last 7-8 hours, my phone is awake with screen off. Not going to sleep at all. Force stopped camera and google dialer. Nothing in wakelock detector. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Aerys:
I don't think we'll see updates for this preview. It was meant for developers to adapt their apps to the new UI and they can do it now.

Also, in every keynote they kept saying that submitting bugs will make the final release better.

The future will tell :)
[Nexus 5 General] xqz:
I can reproduce this quite easily as well. Just happened again

What happens is this:

-Call comes in, I answer like usual

-Hang up

-If I don't power off the screen everything is running fine, although phone is noticeably hot (it does not get hot usually. I don't have that bug I've been reading about)

-Once I power off the screen, I cannot get my screen back on.

Now it feels like the phone is still working but just no display. I say this because I get that small vibrate when bringing up the power off menu. But I get no display so I have to hard reset it.

Are there any programs I can run to get a log going so that I can trace this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Man, I just got excited for a second. I saw an update for Goole play music but after updating, it looks the same. I thought it may be the start of their new look updates.
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
Google will update all its apps to the new UI (shown in the keynote) at the release time of finalized L, i guess, as this one is just a developer preview and for the world, there is nothing like android 5.0 for now.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I'm sure a new look will be welcomed on KitKat as well.
[Nexus 5 General] Aerys:
You wont see those updates before october:p
[Nexus 5 General] ludorexmundi:
I think we'll see another update of the preview like it happens to iOS beta versions! lol

Nexus 5 Android L
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I don't think it would be a bad idea for Google to update those apps before hand. That way developers can get an idea of what a good, complete app using the new UI is supposed to look like. I know there is the calculator and the dialer but the music app looked awesome.
[Nexus 5 General] Talminator:

"While we can't say when the L release might hit, the information available to us does indicate that Quantum on Android is expected to be rolled out in iterations through Google products throughout the time leading up to release."

Since that article Quantum Paper has been renamed as Material Design, but it sounds like Google plans to update its apps in the period from now to release. Plus when you think about it, they sort of have to. How can app developers be expected to update their apps with material design if they have no reference apps from Google as examples?

Total guess, but I reckon we'll see roughly 1 Google app per week/fortnight adopt the new design, starting with Gmail, up until the full L release in the fall
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
That's also a guess.

And i think, we may see the new UI atleast in gmail soon.

I'm finding it increasingly annoying that there is such a lack of documentation for the new features in L with regard to development.

Fictitious example: You can now use THIS feature to do THIS THING in your apps. Here is the code to add it to your XML, you can also add the feature by creating a custom THING!

Cool, that sounds great, where is the documentation informing me exactly how to implement THIS THING?

[Nexus 5 General] kuance:
Guys, Im not new to the forum, I stalk around for years now but I haven made myself posting. Now I decide to post after the release of L. Everything seems fine to my usage purpose so far and everyone have to understand that this is a preview. The reason google release a preview version is to allow developer to optimize and redesign their app. So I quite surprise when people around are asking for MOD. LOL

But anyway, I've flashed the new radio. Anyone facing problem with their phone call quality? I'm not sure if that the problem is from my side or from the caller side, but once in a while, there are call that i couldn't hear them talking. Until they hung up the phone and texted me, "Hey, i was saying hello for zillion time, do you hear me just now? i can hear u "
[Nexus 5 General] Chainfire:
Just a quick note - now that SuperSU officially supports L, I would suggest flashing back the normal boot image, and then flashing the latest SuperSU ZIP. I'm not exactly sure which the changes are in the provided boot image, but a modified kernel as at this time *not* needed for root.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Exactly, I'm trying to add RecyclerView right now, but there are many many different methods that sound like they do similar things, but which one do I use for this case? What does each one do? I hope that if the purpose of the preview is for developers to adapt their apps to material design and Android L, the documentation is updated soon so we can do so.

Anyone notice their phone getting warmer than it used to? Mine just started doing this recently. I noticed it warmer after installing some third party messaging apps.

Phone keeps on rebooting after I shut down and then start the phone or reboot by long pressing power sometimes. I need to boot into safemode and then boot normally to stop it from rebooting again and again. This is happening even after I clean flashed the ROM. I suspect it may be some app that's creating these issues, but can't quite figure out which one.

White reboot it doesn't boot into bootloader, it boots into bootanimation screen.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I came to the conclusion that it was root itself. When that happened, I hooked my phone into the computer and fastboot flashed cache.img that came in the Google factory image and it rebooted fine. Until next reboot anyway then it would do it again. Root wasn't that important to me to live with that so no root for me for now.

Unless you aren't rooted then I don't know. I have only had this issue when rooted.

EDIT: Wait, you are the same person I talked to before about this. lol
[Nexus 5 General] harshalkatakia:
Yes, I'm the same person...LOL...I clean flashed after that and now I'm without root and it's still happening. I think I'll flash cache once and refrain from rebooting and pray to God there's a new update soon which resolves this.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
When you clean flashed, did you use the Factory image with fastboot or just wipe everything in recovery and flash a flashable zip?
