Put simply the reason is that Google have split out those specific apps into Play Store versions so all new updates come from there rather than the ROM. This means that to get the Material design version, Google would have to update their Play Store versions with Material Design and/or L targeting versions.

Now, unfortunately for us, Google have explicitly requested (nay, demanded) that developers do not upload L-versions and/or Material Design apps to the Play Store until the full release of L, and that includes Google themselves (Google+, Slides, Docs, Sheets etc are "fake" Material)

Now, Phone, Calculator and Settings are baked-into-ROM apps without general store releases so they can be Material design in this preview.

As for the screenshots, they all come from Google in the I/O press release when they originally announced L

OTA Updates?

Does anyone know for sure if this ROM receives OTA updates as they are released by the dev? Also, curious but will this continue to eventually become updated to the "official" release and code once Google releases their official source code? Or will I have to flash another ROM at that point in time.

I'd flash this but just wondering how close to exact all of the "L" dev features, options are now in this ROM as compared to what Google is preparing and will be releasing?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarcry:
No OTAs. this isn't a ROM but a developer preview. once google (the Dev ;)) actually releases the next major Android release you can be sure you won't be able to flash it over this preview and keeping your data. we all will have to clean flash it when that time has arrived.

[Q] Nexus 5 L OTA update Unlocked bootloader, root access, TWRP and custom kernel

I have a nexus 5 with an unlocked bootloader, root access, custom recovery (TWRP) and a custom kernel. After doing much research but not being able to find what I'm looking for, I decided to post here. What I'm wondering is, when the android L ota update is pushed out, will I be able to take it. I've heard that major updates like this do not require everything to be stock as it overwrites most things instead of adding things. (Hense, it should just overwrite my custom kernel with a new stock kernel for android l.) I need confirmation before I go bootlooping my phone. Also, if I can't take the OTA, his will I go about getting the official stock android L when it is released. Sorry if I sound like a noob, but before getting a nexus device, I never really stuck to a stock ROM and used Cyanogenmod. I've never had to take an ota while rooted with custom recovery/kernel. But as this is a completely new version of android, I'm not sure at all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeliton lord:
You need to have the stock recovery and a locked boot loader, but when it is officially released, I'm sure someone will make a zip file, as well as you have the option to download the factory image and flash it through fastboot

Edit: flashing through fastboot WILL erase all data, including your internal SD card, so make sure to make a back up of your SD card to your computer
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
I read somewhere that you can take an OTA with TWRP but if you have a custom kernel or modded system files, certain updates will fail because they only add the difference between updates. I read that major updates like the L update will just overwrite most system files instead of adding the difference so if I have a custom kernel, it will be replaced with a new stock kernel for android L
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeliton lord:
http://teamw.in/officialota

I'm guessing that is what you read, if you read the last paragraph, it tells you that if you want to take the OTA you need to use stock recovery. But you also need the boot loader locked from what I have experienced
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
Well if I make a backup and attempt the ota, will there be a chance of hardbrick?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Why ask in a new thread and the help thread? Also... There's a Q&A sticky on L for such questions. ?

Just trying to help, I see you are new. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
Okay, thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
What I'm wondering is, why do you necessarily need to take the official OTA?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
I'm a stock guy and I like my ROM to be untouched stock, no custom ROMs. Maybe a custom kernel. I'd happily flash it in fastboot if I have to but its more convenient if I am able to take the OTA.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
More convenient to just flash a zip version compared to worrying about "can I take the OTA, need to revert everything to stock, omg it didn't work".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
I'll just flash it in fastboot when google releases the IMG file
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Which is the way it should be done as flashable zips for bumping Android versions never work properly anyways. If you have an unlocked bootloader, don't even bother to try with official OTAs. You're going to waste your time getting it to work, and the end result is exactly the same anyways (plus official OTAs take time to roll out, you can just flash the .IMGs on the first day of release).

I don't get why people still think OTAs are more "convenient" when really it's just more of a bother.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
Well some people like OTAs

Also, if you fastboot flash stock recovery and system for 4.4.4, you will then be able to take the OTA as it is the stock recovery that is required
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paychex:
If you are going to do that, why not just flash the new images?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Okay, so what you said to do to take the official OTA:

1. Flash stock recovery

2. Reflash system

3. Reflash stock kernel

4. Hope to god the OTA will actually still work (which it probably still wouldn't in many cases)

What if you just simply flashed it rather than caring so much about the OTA?

1. Flash, and done.

If you want to take OTA.zips officially, then I don't know why you even unlocked the bootloader or why you're on XDA. They're specifically made for the regular unknowledgable consumer to use since they don't know better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinjohnsbp:
I unlocked the bootloader to gain root and flash Franco kernel. I will probably use custom ROMs when google stops updating the device
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Yeah, aka no point bothering with OTA. Read my post again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
I've had the N5 since release day and never really used it for regular phone calls since I mostly use Hangouts. Recently, while on the latest L Preview, I got a few regular calls and every now and again, the phone will ring, but the display doesn't turn on. If I press the power button, the call gets rejected, then when I press the power button again, the phone won't turn on. Only once I press it for 8+ seconds, it force reboots and more often than not, I'll not even have the missed call showing (since it got rejected).

I hate it too when the launcher does it, every icon and widget does a reload from time to time. I can't believe android still can't prevent system from killing the launcher, and really? A nexus 5 with s800, it's just stupid how stock android still has these bugs back from the Gingerbread times…
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
It's nothing to do with the processor, it's a RAM issue. The L developer preview has a pretty significant memory leak at present meaning that after a couple of days there is barely any RAM left. The same thing happened with early Cyanogenmod on 4.4 and 4.3.

This issue should be fixed for the full release - a friend of mine from University works for Google and he says most staff members have Nexus 5's and are all "dogfooding" nightly builds of L - so it's still under active development even as of a couple of weeks ago when I last saw him and he showed me his N5 (yes I did sneakily check the build number in Settings and it still said "L" :silly:)

Edit: yes Cyanogenmod is nowhere like stock Android, however early nightly builds of the new source always had RAM issues, and in this situation beta Cyanogenmod is the same as the developer preview L.

Wow very informative, thx a lot, really looking fwd to full release, Really need hotspot to work sometimes!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
The memory leak with CM 4.3 beta (I think it was .3, may have been .2) was actually sort-of funny, in that you could be on the Running Apps section of settings and scrolling up and down and the RAM use would just keep going up and up and up until apps started getting purged!
