I had an M8 (loved it) and Sense 6 toolbox had some nice tweaks. One great feature was tweaking the UI colors of Sense 6.0.

Some of my customizations look like some of the damn screenshots on Droid-Life. Dare I say El Googs might have been a wee influenced?

I know dem's fightin words, but I'm a straight up Google fanboy so put them pitchforks down.

Anyone else see it?

The main one that got me (in the images linked a few posts above me) is the pink one.
[Nexus 5 General] littleguevara:
Pretty awesome screenshot of a screenshot ??
[Nexus 5 General] :
I don't know what the process of rooting these, since I've been on an iPhone since 3GS. Is it the same process or would we have to wait for someone to code it for this version?
[Nexus 5 General] 1ManWolfePack:
Screenception
[Nexus 5 General] datallboy:
On nexus devices, unlock boot loader, flash supersu binaries in custom recovery, and it's rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
I know this is a Dev preview. So what do you guys think will he bugged/broken tomorrow?
[Nexus 5 General] badboy47:
Mother of God ??
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
Seriously? How could anyone know the answer to that?
[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
In said what you THINK. No need to be defensive. I wanted to accumulate hype. Jeez.
[Nexus 5 General] datallboy:
Any ideas on what time it will be released? Like midnight in PDT, or maybe 9:00 AM PDT? I'm (im)patiently waiting here on the East Coast.
[Nexus 5 General] bbedward:
My guess would be between 9am and 12pm PDT. Typical Google times.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
I hope they release the factory images instead of waiting for a developer to post something.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
WTH..I came to this thread hoping that I would find some good discussion on Android L but all I found was "How to root your Nexus 5"..?

[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Yeah lol. There's stickies for a reason, but no one cares.
[Nexus 5 General] Ken C:
So how do you do that?? Flash an old lady, and root around in her bootlocker?

Couldn't help myself ?
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
It will be interesting to see how many "Material"-themed apps are included with this preview. On the demo phones at I/O it was apparently just Calculator (maybe something more?). Gmail was the same old thing we already have, not the new version. Which I guess makes sense, since Gmail is on Google Play (and they obviously won't publish the new version there yet) while Calculator is included with Android. So if that's what decides this, we unfortunately might not be getting very many apps like that at all, as almost all of Google's apps are on Play these days. Oh well, there's still Android itself. It's just gonna be quite the clash of styles for a while.
[Nexus 5 General] misterviolinguy:
You have a point a there sir...and I was all excited after the videos too....
[Nexus 5 General] daledenton:
Chrome is also on the app store, with the gigantic update to it, I'd imagine it would be a part of the preview we get tomorrow. I bet we see a few of the apps, they will be packaged with the update and most likely only updated with the preview gets updated. I wouldn't worry much.
[Nexus 5 General] Simer03:
Or just use the app Flashify and u can flash img files from your phone...

[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
Urgh! Can't wait! I got up from half sleep still not released :(
[Nexus 5 General] kjjjjshab:
You can install the new Slides app and get a look right now. It has the" circle +" button and the new action icons i think.
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Let's hope you're right. This is a developer preview though, specifically made for developers to get started with the new APIs and design, not a "play with all the new apps" preview. At the same time, including a few example apps to show off the new design couldn't hurt.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
I just don't see the point. How could anybody here have any informed comment on what bugs are in a preview release that no one here has access to?
[Nexus 5 General] bbedward:
Will probably get different versions in the play store, that'd be my guess. Google also is releasing this early preview to accumulate and fix bug reports before release, not strictly for developers as they said in the "what's new in android" bit.

I can't wait to try out the new APIs over the weekend :) . The enhanced NFC+Beam and JobScheduler stuff looks like it'll be infinitely useful, as well as the increased ease of ui customization.
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
Man i picked a good time to get this phone it looks like. Lol just got it last sat and haven't even rooted it yet. Got 4.3 update before i left t mobile store, got 4.4 ota today, and now possibly L in the next few days . Talk about perfect! Lol
[Nexus 5 General] itasoulas:
MAKING THINGS CLEAR SO EVERYBODY STOPS ASKING THE SAME!

1. images will be available here http://developer.android.com/preview/index.html

2. Google is posting the update earlier in order for developers to start working on their apps and update them according to the new standards

3. Google is posting this preview in order for bugs to be early discovered in order for the official release to be as bug-free as it can be. That's smart if you ask me

4. Images will be available to everybody. Why? You may be a future developer so Google doesn't know that thus she couldn't prevent you from downloading as this would be unfair. So relax, everybody will get the update

5. What matters for Google is for devs to have the framework and UI available. So don't expect the full android "L" experience

6. Why Google is posting this preview? Over 5000 APIs are included in this update...MAJOR ANDROID UPDATE and it needs time for devs to adapt to new standards!

The benefits of the preview are definately many. Rom developers will start working early so when new update is official, roms will pop up early with the least bugs included instead of fixing them afterwards. Not to mention kernel devs also. It's not the same as releasing the source code but it will definately give them a hint!

Video

Who would like to make a list of features that would like to see in a video. For example the egg easter on the settings. Just something that want to see. I'll upload the video tomorrow when I install Android "L" :cowboy:

What I'm saying to everyone at work who is jealous and doesn't own a Nexus:

http://i.imgur.com/2z9w9Dx.gif
[Nexus 5 General] Malvarose:
Feels good to be a Nexus owner!
[Nexus 5 General] coolsid8:
In my opinion, it won't be much great now unless we see apps coming from developers. Until we have many apps following the material design and taking advantage of L API's, it won't feel much of an update over Kitkat.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I wonder if I'm the only one worried if MultiROM will work or not in the preview?
[Nexus 5 General] cougzzz:
Man navbar buttons look so ugly. Disgusting lol

There's a new radio! ;)

2.0.50.2.08
[Nexus 5 General] 1ManWolfePack:
Are you serious???

This is about as big as GB to IC. The UI hasn't changed this drastically since 4.0.

I'm excited for the party. You don't have to come if you don't think it'll be great.
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
They said it is the biggest update so far, so I guess it will be 5.0 . Also last week they released screenshoot of Google Now with time set on 5:00.
[Nexus 5 General] Angel0fDeath:
I was wondering the same thing xD
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
I simply cannot wait seriously !!!!!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Me too! I hope we get the system images by the end of this day :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Mate what is the difference between the system image and factory image ? I'm still confused if Google is releasing the new version or just a developer preview .
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
System.img is one of the factory img files. Here are the list of files included in a factory zip:

system.im //rom

userdata.img //data partition

boot.img //kernel

radio.img //modem, baseband

bootloader.img //bootloader

cache.img //cache

recovery.img //stock recovery

Google won't release it as an OTA as it's still a developer build. Google is releasing this build prematurely so that app developers can develop apps using the api. The stable one might release in Sept/Oct may be.
[Nexus 5 General] firemountain:
So, June 26 in LA in less the one hour :D
[Nexus 5 General] azranashraf:
from endgadet video, can see a bit lag in apps trasition and waking up the device.
[Nexus 5 General] Garner:
Its 7.15am 26/6 here in the UK
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
Noticed that too
[Nexus 5 General] cyberjethro:
That may be as a result from the battery saving mode. The phone is nearly dead in that video.
[Nexus 5 General] kikikaka:
I guess it is just the preview release of SDK and the img for the emulator, for the developers to test their apps.
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
Looks like they had battery saving mode enabled.
[Nexus 5 General] lifenight:
On the Engadget video, the battery left 15%, so the nexus is underclocked, due to the power saving mode
[Nexus 5 General] teanbread:
the colorful status bar in Android L is slighly look like HTC sense 6

it's attractive..
[Nexus 5 General] ha789di:
how to install android L?
[Nexus 5 General] Mextur:
Does anybody know if it will be released exacly at 00:00?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
At least let it get released first m8 :p:silly: Most probably you will just need to flash system, radio and boot files.

Nope. We need to be patient :(
[Nexus 5 General] LiFeSII:
On some countries its 6/26... so i think nope
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
If you truly watch the entire video, you should notice that the battery level is too low and battery saving mode is enabled by default in Android L
[Nexus 5 General] beaver2233:
It's 4:30 PM in Australia, omg where's android L?? but yeah chances are it'll be between 9AM - 12PM PST.
[Nexus 5 General] firemountain:
Google I/O in San Francisco, so hope to get Android L in less then hour
[Nexus 5 General] devon4786:
So here I am...

So here I am...hitting the refresh button on developer.android.com....still no sign of the release..don't think I'll be sleeping tonight! lol!

[Nexus 5 General] KingBeike:
But still 3.4.0 kernel Version :( why ? I think newer Linux kernel Version could bring a soms nice things for us
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I don't know the specifics but the newer kernel versions don't have anything to do with our device. ElementalX's developer flar has cherry picked some commits from newer versions of kernel and included in his kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] fake_japanese_guy:
its almost end of 26 June here. hope they will release it before bed time.

im hitting refresh every 10 seconds to check if the downloads are up..
[Nexus 5 General] RieGo:
but they as they wrote:

so don't expect too much.
[Nexus 5 General] jumper62:
I don't think they will release at midnight in LA. Probably a couple of hours after
[Nexus 5 General] devon4786:
Same Here! LOL...It's currently 11:53PM in San Fransisco..I'm waiting patiently because I wana do a vid on it ASAP

[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
Don't get your hopes up, guys.

Most Googlers in SF are still at the after-hours party, so a midnight release is unlikely.

The factory images will probably appear around 9am-12pm PT, if they're not hung over.
[Nexus 5 General] prembox:
Of course you can....just make a nandroid back up before taking the L dive....copy that back up on to your PC as well....just in case!
[Nexus 5 General] bazzi12:
Check out the dev preview hands on on YouTube ..it seems at least most of the core features are working properly.
[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
You can revert from F to 4.4.4, but you'll have to flash the stock images again.
[Nexus 5 General] fake_japanese_guy:
i am hoping that there is one nerd, who was not invited to the after parties, and was tasked to release the new version exactly at 12:00 am.

hope that nerd is awake and kicking in google office now..
[Nexus 5 General] :
Nav Buttons Arghhhh!

The Navigation Buttons on the L preview release looks too classy and childish! I heard from many people on G+ that they didnt like it much including Franco.

I am very excited about this! Love being a Nexus 5 owner! ^_^

Although maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm not digging those soft keys lol I like the old ones better. I'm sure there will be mods to change them back eventually but I won't. They will grow on me surely. Also I'm not a fan of that recent app switcher, it feels so... Complicated 8D and I'm wondering... What about lock screen widgets??? Left is phone, right camera, what about widgets??

Alas I'm eager to try this before anyone else gets to. He he. :D

You see ....the design philosophy embraced for any particular platform....Android or iOS or Win ....it's around the logic supported by massive analysis by the respective Orgs and they go with the logic that the design goes well with the majority and not with each and every one!! they obviously expect an X% of ppl to simply hate and call the design as pure trash...childish....yada yada
[Nexus 5 General] Mextur:
Those buttons are now much more related to each other when it goes to design.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the preview release still lacks some basic features like WIFI, 3G or whatever. It's an early build after all with lots of bugs presumably. They call these things "beta" for a reason.

Before installing this on my phone I will wait till you all have taken a peak and reported back here. ,-)

[Nexus 5 General] Welshy.:
Slightly OT, but I'm replying to this from DP2 of Yosemite.

Beta doesn't seem to mean the same thing it did a few years ago. Betas now seem to be mostly functional previews which are simply harder to install, allowing everyone to get their apps together before the general public can run around with it.
[Nexus 5 General] jumper62:

core functionality should be expected to work as it would make testing apps a bit more pointless if they couldn't communicate with anything. there will be less polish and optimization, but i would expect most things to work. we'll find out soon enough though!

however, as google has pushed more of their apps into the play store, i wouldn't expect many of them to be updated to the new UX right off the bat. maybe the chrome beta app will be updated to the L preview soon though *fingers crossed*

For the first time, Google will allow developers to download the new version of Android before it's released to the general public. Like Apple does with iOS, developers will be able to download an early build of Android to developer devices.
[Nexus 5 General] dananjay:
Lol good observation. even when they were showing someones gmail inbox, there was an email with the subject, Android L name Finalized.
[Nexus 5 General] Travelawyer:
I wonder if we can install it without losing our apps and data.

Dirty flashing "system.img" seems to be the only way, because Titanium Backup should not work if we can't get L rooted.

Belgium waiting here also :D
[Nexus 5 General] Mextur:
Well, hello there.

On-Topic:

1. The only thing that I worry about s the ART (Android Runtime). I've already tried this runtime. It's cool; but some apps are not functional when using this runtime.

2. Also they say with project Volta Nexus 5 owners can spare at least 90 minutes extra battery life á day.

3. I've watched like the entire Google I/O, and I think Android is going to kick IOS8's ass. Just because everything is so freaking awesome. IOS their development is too slow.

Google has done a very nice job.

ART compatibility should come from apps over time, many of them do work now with the exception of some games (that i've run across) but with the switch officially from dalvik, everyone will have to update their apps to work. so there will def be some issues while running a dev preview
