So with my luck I still cant run L. My fastboot.exe keeps crashing and I have looked for it to try and uninstall it and to no luck. But from what I been sifting through it seems Browser broke, sms broke, wifi broke.....maybe that's a sign not to run this yet lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WarRaven:
It's my daily driver, I'm not having them issues.

I don't understand, fastboot crashes?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Chrome works great, hellosms works great for MMS with WiFi off, since I just mentioned turning WiFi off to receive MMS, WiFi also works great. I may be one of a very few not running multirom. I've had near zero issues. Magic jack app doesn't work, Facebook comments are transparent. I uninstalled magic jack and logged into fb thru chrome. This ROM has been as stable as anything I've run. I've also read every single post in this thread. I'm on day 4 of running with no reboots, FC's, or freezes. I also didn't restore any data, with a full wipe except internal storage. Flashed ROM, su2.01,boot animation, and sounds in that order, all at once with no reboots between. I came from stock rooted 4.4.4. If flashing like that doesn't get you going, I'm not sure what will. Good luck
[Nexus 5 Android Development] droid_genius:
Well I guess this method being used here is different that the stock way google installs it. I tried this zip but it failed. So i tried to do it the way google says flash it and I do flash-all and it starts sends, boot, radio, then stops a few seconds and says "fastboot.exe has stopped working windows will let you know about a solution....Im almost ready to wipe this whole PC and start over fresh completely.....this is annoying cant even find fastboot to uninstall it or repair it or anything......frsutrating..

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Maybe Ill try again. Will report back. I just use the stock apps, chase, and TB could care less about others. Im just stock rooted on 4.4.4 now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WarRaven:
DG, do it manually through fastboot,

line by line.

WR
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
You have to have the titanium beta. If that's all you use, I wouldn't even worry about TB. I think issues start to evolve when people begin restoring data of any sorts. That's just me though, I never restore anything, just let gapps restore my installed apps. I've flashed a ton of Roms dude, going back to windows phones. Probably over 5000 flashes of android from HTC, Samsung, lg, motorola, and nexus. If I can be of any help, I'm glad to oblige. Good luck.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] llblwskydrgn:
Didn't work for me either :/ I followed your steps and uninstalled Dropbox before wiping dalvik cache...

I reinstalled, signed in and it FCs still
[Nexus 5 Android Development] droid_genius:
Just followed the zip instructions and it failed again....sigh... error flashing zip. any ideas?

Also it says unmount system, when I check mount it is already not mounted, meaning the little x is not in the box correct?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
look at OP for your answer
[Nexus 5 Android Development] llblwskydrgn:
Do a manual install through fastboot just as WR said. It's the only way I could get it to work as well. I have the same error when trying to flash the zip, no clue why it happens.

You might want to reinstall adb if you even have trouble with that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ercxar:
I had the same issue till I read all OP's posts. After you wiped go to mount and unmount system then flash rom it will work. You will only get failed error when you didn't unmount system.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Are you using latest recovery? If using twrp, wipe everything but internal, go to mount, unchecked system, then flash away
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dorkboy69:
I had the same problem, I just close the window that tells me its looking for a solution and then the flash-all continues doing its thing. I am running L now and its working great.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] droid_genius:
Yea mines just says press any key to exit.....were you stock or rooted?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
sounds like you need to learn how to use fastboot first

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

is your sdk up to date? have you tried doing it manually?

Also, your handle...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] droid_genius:
Ok so I got it now, cause I'm an idiot, apparently the hammerhead folder needed to have a fastboot file in the with it and I went on youtube a guy said put those files there and BAM it worked.....such a noob I am, thanks for all the help you guys are the best.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pmbabu:
OR, after you wipe, select reboot -> recovery. Flash the zip now, it will work fine.

[MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION], thanks a ton for the zip. With SuperSU2.01 and Code Blue kernel, it's business as usual, with all the goodness of L. Everything is fast and smooth. Not to mention the colors (Gamma) that are cool too. Once again, great job ALL! :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
You're welcome :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chachin:
Thank you vomer you're awesome dev now i can play with android L and have fun :D ... no need to reply since you are already doing so with the post I'm replying to :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paztine:
Just wipe data, dalvik cache, cache..Don't wipe system..This works for me..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] llblwskydrgn:
Hmm... maybe that's why I haven't been able to flash it in recovery.

In the OP, it says to unmount and wipe the system though so maybe there is some confusion on my part as to what that means?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sempot:
Just tick everything in the advanced wipe except internal storage. Once the wiping is done, head over to Mount and Untick system. Flash the zip. Should be fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] llblwskydrgn:
I must have ****ed up my phone somehow because that doesn't work. Only way I can flash L is with fastboot :/

Oh well, fastboot works fine for me, but it's really weird how I can't flash it in recovery.

I have the latest TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ferrojasaguilar:
None of my games are working correctly, they all force stop. Besides that everything else is great, smooth as silk..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] thakrew317:
How long should the first boot take? Also do I only need to flash the rom..then radio then kernel?

How do people got equalizer apps working? (V4A, DSP etc) I have it installed and everything but the equalizer for Google Play Music is always the default Google one.

There's no way to switch it like 4.4.4
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paztine:
Wipe or not wipe system L Preview

Nothing will happen to your phone if you do decide to wipe or not the system..Try both..because this what happen to me. I wipe the system and its failing.So I did not wipe the system and it boots up..Trial and error..just my two cents,.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
okay... just to start off...

From Google

L seems to be a fairly major overhaul to the underlying system, meaning many heavy apps (games and the like) or customization app (v4a, dsp etc) will need to be updated to work on L, just like supersu, titanium backup, stickmount and others already have been

fastboot doesn't give a rip if you're rooted or not... it's a direct copy to the file system... (think format c:\ then copy for windows or dd if= of= for the linux/unix/mac world)

see the quote from google, many apps will require an update to be L compatible...

first boot 5-20 minutes... subsequent boots 30 seconds to 2 minutes as normal

most of those apps need an update to be L compatible...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
if you know people who got them working, why not ask them specifically how they got it working, rather than asking the general populace?

Seems your friends would be better able to answer that question
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
I have. They just said it worked. They just installed it and it worked out of the box. That's why I'm here to find others.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
Have you asked the different people how they loaded Android L on their phone to see if there's a pattern?

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Maybe someone in the general populace knows a trick to get it working, isn't that what the community is here for?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
Yeah. Some of them flashed Vomers zip and some flashed the .IMG way. Both through a toolkit and the manual fastboot way. So I'm lost for thoughts.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
perhaps, but if that was the case I wouldn't instantly go on the defensive about how "my friends already got it working"

and isn't part of the v4a install process to delete the stock dsp manager?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
Because they have gotten it working. And I have now too. Now if you'd like to know feel free to listen.

Part of the install process isn't to install the stock equalizer because in kitkat you can select different equalizers as defaults. So. I went into settings > apps and found musicfx. Disabled force stopped and cleared data.

Now I went into google play music settings and equalizer. DSP manager popped up. Tryed to apply an enhancement but as EXPECTED there were comparability issues with Android L. I have reported it and moved on. Thank you though.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Well done. Now, wasn't it more satisfying to have worked it out on your own rather than having a solution handed to you? :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] god.fsl:
hey guys what's the best way to root this rom?!

when i flasj superSU 2.01 or any other on root boot or code blue kernel . it doesnt work in titanium back up and trick... and other apps want root acces! in some cases reboot device and take long time to boot!

what should i do?

sry for poor EN!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
flashing 2.01 is pretty much the only way to root this rom, the issues youre having with apps are because those apps have not been updated to work with L yet. there is a beta for titanium backup floating around that works with L, seek and you will find.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:

So, reinforcing the satisfaction gained from working on a problem and discovering the solution by oneself is now considered a back handed insult?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
It's your tone and you come across like you are talking down to people.

My first thought when I read your original statement, that's a comment a parent would say to their child... Not something I would expect to read in a community.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
once again, I pick and choose my words to convey my meanings, any bias you read into them, is a) not my fault, and b) not my concern.

I am responsible only for my own words, not your interpretation of them... but you and I have been over this before.

I take the same tone with my students IRL, and they respond extremely well (both children and adults alike)

The only ones who take offense at it are the ones who feel (not think, feel) that because I know something, it is their right to demand it of me...

Knowledge strove for holds greater meaning to the striver than that granted with no effort...

More importantly, by forcing them to strive for solutions, and only offering pointers to guide them, they learn not only the knowledge of that particular time, but that they are capable of finding solutions on their own, without guidance, because they have learned how to learn. Which by the way, is a lesson far more valuable than most others offered in a classroom..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
Why can't we just answer if we want to and don't answer if we don't want to and let them keep repeating questions . their repeated questions doesn't make any harm to us or the dev does it? So rather than talking down or speaking in a manner used in classrooms or wherever it is Iggy the question and move on. We all have our own way of curiousness and impatience so people do tend to repeat the questions. Nothing at personal to anyone. Many posts here are why don't u find it yourself and so forth. . . why not just let the question be their and we move on than teaching what to be done. We have mods for that :) Peace smoke a joint if u all do :p

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Enhanced:
You are by far the most annoying person in this thread.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
because ignoring their posts doesn't help them, If I know the answer, I point them in the right direction, if i don't know I offer suggestions that may lead them to the path they need.

It's funny that you say we shouldn't use a manner of speech found in classrooms, when iirc this is a classroom of sorts, people have a problem, and come here to learn. the issue I take is that so many who come here aren't willing to put any effort into finding the solution for themselves, they would rather have it spoonfed to them.

there is a reason why the first rule of xda is to use the search function to find your solutions prior to posting.

Here's a listing of the XDA rules

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Thank you, people always seem to find being forced to think for themselves annoying..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
I think we should take this to private message as its nothing beneficial for this forum. You pointing at right direction is very good or the best but the tone and selection of words u chose to convey isn't what a forum member want to read. If you think that they are going against anything setup by XDA rules and procedures please report it to a Moderator. That's what they are here for to enforce the XDA set of rules and not us users. Again u are doing a wonderful job but the selection of words is something need to be looked into else ignore. If I am asking a question that doesn't give anyone any right to speak to me they chose to be correct does it? Either you answer or if u don't want then don't. Educate or pointing me to right direction is absolutely but in a manner the receiver or be neutral than putting ur aggression into it. Again u were never rude to me so far I must say but its many posts of condescending tone bugs the rest. Sorry if I am harsh I am just saying what made so many point at the words u chose. . . the public here isn't a part of any institution but a bunch nexus freaks like me :D :D u didn't acknowledge my love for your frog :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I'm not trying to enforce the rules, I do not have the authority for that, but I can point out that they exist and ask for others to read them.

As to my phrasing, I intentionally pick words of neutral bias, (which readers then tend to project their own bias onto, which is not my problem) I do that, because neutral phrases are more easily understood by those who may struggle with the English language. And as XDA, like the internet, is an international forum, not everyone here may have a complete grasp of English nuances.

Holy $hit

Tzfardaya has one of the best attitude's here.

This will probably get me banned

This thread is full of lazy, spoonfed kids that want everything handed to them with a silver platter and because of the hundreds of the same questions over and over it has resorted to this

Crying and whining

Spoonfeeders want knowledgeable people not to guide them/others to look for answers or steer them in the right direction for an answer or to actually have to "gulp" read and maybe learn something, no, they demand answers for all, just spoonfeed me, I have no time to read, let alone learn, just feed me the info

I just can't believe what I have read on this page alone, I have lost a lot of respect for quite a few people here, not that it matters to anyone, but it does to me.

adding

to your build.prop file will hide the nav keys, BUT you need to make sure you have an alternate method of navigation prior to doing that...

not sure which nav systems work with L yet, not something I use these days so I haven't checked. I would suggest running google over each nav system (pie, or whichever) or seeing if they have an xda thread, then checking there if they are L compatible yet.
