It appears the image has to be downloaded through the SDK. So someone will have to do that (I can't since I'm on my work laptop) and upload the image.

That isn't really the definition of perfect. We know there are bugs. Just because you ignore them or don't see them doesn't make them invalid. Telling people a build is "perfect" is why people are complaining all over this thread about things being broken. It is setting expectations that just aren't realistic.
[Nexus 5 General] TheCybertronian:
Builds been perfect for me
[Nexus 5 General] FXGIO:
Good, but . . .

After using Android L for three days, besides many pros, I noticed that, in some aspects, Google is trading practicality for visual attractiveness.

1. You need two (long) swipes to get to

quick settings

2. The first swipe gives you a false sense of it opening

3. No date and month visible on the first swipe

4. No battery percentage in notification drawer

5. Because the n. d. is dark, - when you adjust the brightness and swipe up, the homescreen goes unexpectedly bright.

6. Less text visible on the notification cards

7. Aqua color in dialer? really?

8. When majority of phones are 4.5"+, taller settings categories were not necessary + bad contrast font + does google hate OLED screens? :D

9. Recent app cards are so big only 2-3 are visible vs 4 in kitkat.
[Nexus 5 General] bbedward:
I pretty much agree with everything as far as functionality issues, but I don't mind the dialer theme.
[Nexus 5 General] Ekofasc:
1. One swipe down, tap on status bar. Previously: one swipe down, tap on settings icon.

2. It's a visual queue, and beautifully animated IMO.

Many of your points seem to regard less information visible at a time. I don't think everyone would consider as much text and information visible at the same time is the best and most efficient and good-looking way to present information.
[Nexus 5 General] lotherius:
It was never a user-facing feature in KitKat anyway. It was hidden in the developer menu for a REASON.

ART is a big change and needed testing. Those here on XDA and similar users were more than willing to do the testing. Doesn't mean it was ever intended to be a "feature" of KitKat that needed to be finished.
[Nexus 5 General] rahsaanabdul:
I like this ROM the way it is cosmetically... It makes me NOT want to go back to Kit Kat. This ROM isn't Kit Kat. I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong. I love the pull down notification/status bar and the Rolodex style currents and everything else. This preview is an extremely pleasant change IMO. THANK YOU GOOGLE. I'm just wondering if there isn't much change, cosmetically, before the finally build if all the unhappy folks here will just go get an iPhone or something. One thing about progression is that you can get on board or get left behind. Change doesn't have to be painful if you keep an open mind. No disrespect to anyone here.

1. Two-finger swipe
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
When someone calls you get a heads-up notification, unless the phone is locked.
[Nexus 5 General] mrjeff2:
Two swipes into quick settings isn't bad for me but I really can't stand at the moment how quick settings peeks itself without the two swipes. I understand why they did it but I feel the functionality would be better without it.

I'm also having a hard time retraining myself to swipe up to just enter the phone. I keep unlocking to the dialer.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Remember these samples for the new camera API?

https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Basic

https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Video

So I was bored and decided to compile them, along with make a quick demo app for some of the new material theme stuff (elevation, new views, etc.) The source for that is on github (https://github.com/IvonLiu/material-theme-demos). I'll add more fun stuff to it in the days to come, it's more of just a way to explore what's new. All three apks are attached to this post. Enjoy!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I hope settings app will look like to something like that, Screenshot, when it will avalaible officially because light background is not good for my eyes and battery life!
[Nexus 5 General] derPianist:
How often are you in settings that it could have serious impact on battery life? My god...
[Nexus 5 General] Diizzymatt:
You can just tap the top after the first swipe and it opens and I don't really know about long swipes its pretty fast and easy to open up for me
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Exactly. I realized it doesn't have to be a swipe either. Tap the top after swiping down and it open s quick settings. Also just an FYI to the other guy. Most people probably didn't know they could swipe down with two fingers to get to quick settings. Ig you didn't know that it was also two touches.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
Very few features are truly finished and will never change. Even how SMS are handled have changed. I don't see why ART would be a show stopper for going from one version of Android to the next.
[Nexus 5 General] :
My device uses an AMOLED technology for screen so dark background is better and not only for Settings app.

My god? God can nothing for something like that...:angel:
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
Anyone having problem with settings app when opening a wifi to add password???My settings crash when choosing a wifi to add password!!
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
No. Previously: Two-finger swipe down to get directly to quick settings. Perhaps most users didn't know about this gesture, but it was way faster for those of us who did know about it. Now it's no longer possible to get to quick settings with a single swipe, you have to swipe down twice (or swipe, then tap). I really hope they haven't intentionally removed this useful shortcut, and that it will return in later versions of L. Even if most users don't know about it, it can't hurt to have it there.
[Nexus 5 General] motoridersd:
On T-Mobile it seems like Android is trying to enable DUN and failing because the APN it needs is not available:

D/Tethering( 793): notifying tethered with iface =null
D/Tethering( 793): TetherModeAliveState.processMessage what=5
D/Tethering( 793): chooseUpstreamType(false), preferredApn =4, got type=-1
D/Tethering( 793): notifying tethered with iface =null
D/Tethering( 793): TetheredState.processMessage what=12
D/Tethering( 793): TetheredState.processMessage what=12
D/Tethering( 793): TetherModeAliveState.processMessage what=5
D/Tethering( 793): chooseUpstreamType(true), preferredApn =4, got type=-1
D/ConnectivityService( 793): startUsingNetworkFeature for net 0: enableDUNAlways, uid=1000
D/ConnectivityService( 793): startUsingNetworkFeature X: return APN_TYPE_NOT_AVAILABLE

Adding 'dun' to the APN type makes no difference, we get the same error.

I tried to add tether_dun_required = 0 to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db using the shell, but the sqlite3 binary I found does not run

error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported

I added the entry using a SQL Editor and now the sharing starts, but I'm seeing DHCP offers being made to my computer and it is not taking them. Using a manual address lets me ping the phone, but there is no routing. So, broken still.
[Nexus 5 General] hungmung:
Up until it's not in the final release I wouldn't get to freaked out about it as had been said a million rides this is beta if not earlier. Google themselves said this is an unfinished product so there are things yet to be put in.

Sent from my Keurig...
[Nexus 5 General] lets_zock:
I knew of the possibility but never used it, lol. In my opinion it was way easier to click twice instead of using two fingers. Mostly because I'm using my phone with just one hand. (Except for writing)
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
iirc at the I/O demo a short swipe revealed notifications but a continued single long swipe down revealed first notifications, then quick settings.

It has been said by many that the preview that we have is not the same as what was shown at I/O.

I believe we have an older version.
[Nexus 5 General] blinqipa:
So don't install the L Preview ,it was meant for developers ,I'm not even a developer ,at least I'm not whining here .Not to be rude ,but understand the LOGIC OF A DEVELOPER PREVIEW.About the AMOLED screen technology ,which Nexus do you have ? Nexus 5 or 7 ?If any of these ,then your screen is not AMOLED ,it is IPS .Research about these both ?

[Nexus 5 General] HamzahS:
I used L for a day or so and it was great however still very much a preview hence many bugs. A couple if things that irritated me: the miscellaneous entry in Battery ... at the end of my last day it was sitting at 103% yet I have absolutely no idea what was eating my battery. The battery graph went wonky and decided not to show at all. Not sure what app it was but my nexus 5 went into a semi boot loop, after restarting, 10 to 20 seconds into usage it would auto reboot. Had to wipe to fix.

Other than that, loved the material design, all 2 applications that were using it that is. Can't wait to see it applied to all gapps. Overall look and feel was very refreshing with the new notifications being one of my favourite changes. Back to 4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4 for now!
[Nexus 5 General] lotherius:
Gee, hadn't noticed you could swipe/tap... seems quicker and easier, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] Gorjira:
Day 1 impression is very good. The keyboard is great; fast and accurate. This is the first time I've let the animations stay at their normal rate, they look awesome. Battery had been decent, better than KK. Not having MMS doesn't bother me at all. Overall, I can't wait to see where this will be going!

Guys, if u have issues with MMS (like I think all of us do), go to this link and tap the star towards the top-left to let Google know that its a widespread issue and should get attention.

[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
for all you that "lose" your storage after flashing L, theres an easy fix for it. your files get moved to /sdcard/0/. all i did was move all my files out of /sdcard/0/ using root explorer, back into /sdcard/, then deleted /sdcard/0/ :)
[Nexus 5 General] niv3d:
Pm Sent sir!
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
A lot of users can also prevent this by fully wiping when flashing the preview. By not removing the -w command and actually runninh the user.IMG fastboot command when flashing it via fastboot. Everyone should know the SD card issue is preventable if you DONT dirty flash
[Nexus 5 General] kopower:
Hmm. I tried this in Hangouts, Textra, and Chomp, and it still seems I can't receive mms. Mine was also on the wrong apn in hangouts.

I'm on T-Mobile, and my phone apn is T-Mobile GPRS fast.t-mobile.com. There is no proxy or port set on mine. Hangouts had MetroPCS default. If mms worked, I'd for sure make this my daily driver.I have 2 1/2 hours sot, and still have almost 40% battery left. My mobile signal is not good either.

[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
So today I have gotten stuck in reboots quite a bit. Once, I wasn't doing anything but listening to music and the screen wouldn't turn on. Did a hard reboot and got stuck in a continuous boot loop. I may just start fresh again and not root or anything and see how things go since that's when I started getting this.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
funny thing, i dirty flashed the first time, and all was awesome except the pulldown notification. my second time flashing was a clean flash, i wanted to see the pulldown. the second time is when it happened, with the clean flash. and many others are having it happen to them, after a clean flash. the dirty flash ran great.

anyways, i flashed it via flashable zip, as i dont own a computer. and yes, i know what im doing. ive dirty flashed every single rom since the n5 came out. i dont wipe my n5, and have 0 issues, ever. on top, i might have the fastest n5 out there :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
I've cleaned flash from 4.4.4 and no issues mentioned by other users. If you read back you cab see those who had SD card read issues, bootloops, etc didn't clean flash. If it didn't happen yo you then cheers but if the instructions from google and in the thread here on XDA state it clearly maybe its important. Just a heads up for those who are new or unaware
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
what you are saying means nothing to me, i hope you are aware of that.

im sure many people have had issues, from both dirty and clean flashes. all i did was post a quick and easy fix for those that do run into the "missing" storage issue, regardless if they dirty or clean flashed. that does not matter to me. again, if you clean flash, it is not a guaranteed perfect world. the same if you dirty flash. it was for those that need help, period.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
No don't take what I said the wrong way. I appreciate fixes like those you posted. I merely was stating to the general public that they could try prevention . surely your fix could also be implemented whether dirty or clean.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
lmao..

again, it happened to me during a CLEAN flash.

telling people that a clean flash will help prevent it is not accurate. it can happen regardless of a clean flash.

look, i have nothing against you. i dont know you. i see that you are just trying to be helpful, and i appreciate it. helpful people is always a good thing. its just this issue has nothing to do if you clean or dirty flash, it can happen either way. so telling people about clean flashing and how its preventative, just doesnt work in this case.
[Nexus 5 General] tomzefi:
So I am running android L radio on another ROM. All is good but has anybody seen any notable difference, positive or negative? On any carrier. I can't tell because I have been fortunate with sprint and have really good service in my area.
