Just hope we see updated play store gapps roll out soon.

So you can't hit install? Just a random thought...what happens when you rotate it in landscape and try and hit install?

That's no surprise. That always needs an update when a new version of Android comes out.

[Nexus 5 General] taronas:
Tried that (ok, skipped 3.) but now my sdcard is not accessible. Like with the first preview :(

Nandroid restore now :(
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Installed the new preview and now back to mahdi+franco r63.

For some reason the geekbench score came out to be 500ish single core and 1500ish multicore.

On mahdi with franco r63 with 2.419ghz and -50uv PVS BIN 2.

I get 1000+ single core and 3200+ multicore.

Otherwise the dev preview is smooth but installing apps is definitively slower.

There is a camera which can take RAW dngs and fiddle with exposure and focus on github, give it a try if interested. lcamera on github, there is a prebuild apk ready to install.
[Nexus 5 General] md1008:
So I hear people talking about root. Can you fast boot flash recovery? Installed preview but didn't try recovery
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:

boot loops

Dang it! I am getting bootloops when I do this. What am I doing wrong?

TWRP 2801

SuperSU UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip

Any help?

1. Flash recovery in fastboot.

2. Choose recovery.

3. Install SuperSU.

4. Reboot bootloader.

5. fastboot flash boot boot.img

Am i doing something wrong?

I just gonna type that boot is long as hell and its finished..at least after 3 flashes and one accidently sdcard wipe!!!
[Nexus 5 General] davew41:
no need just do this

Extract the files to your ADB folder.

hook up your device (Nexus 5) make sure usb debugging is on

then

run

adb reboot bootloader

then fastboot oem unlock

copy the extracted files into your abd folfer and then run

flash-all.bat

sit back and enjoy

It took mine 8 minutes to boot
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
What if I'm stuck at Google? I wiped data in recovery before. My friend flashed userdata so all data is wiped and he's also stuck at Google logo.

So... SU work or not?
[Nexus 5 General] Spider_Pig27:
for how long have you guys been stuck there?
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
If you aren't going to wipe it, then I don't see what the point of reflashing it is. It seems many of the problems reported here are because of incorrect flashing.
[Nexus 5 General] Spider_Pig27:
NO!
[Nexus 5 General] spg900ny:
WOW! Love the new UI! I'm not usually a fan of the "flat" style, but I really like it. Also love the new pulldown notifications.

If you've installed, go to About -> Android version and click on the L a few times. Hahaha.

[Nexus 5 General] Koragg618:
Benchmarks don't prove much...

Also installing apps is slower with ART. Try it on KitKat and you will see the same thing.

Then again, I can't really judge people's tastes for a ROM :P

Is anyone getting massive battery drain caused by "Miscellaneous" in the battery chart?

I'll be installing a battery stats app to firstly see if it works, and find the source of the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] SeyMedia:
I don't know what to say.... but it should work for you also. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] neo2306:
may be i should try reflashing the image !!
[Nexus 5 General] Hoezack:
Is there a zip to flash?
[Nexus 5 General] Koragg618:
There's one in the Dev forums, but right now I would suggest flashing the IMG instead of flashing from recovery.

The ZIP has some issues and takes a long time, as it was not made to be flashed in the recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] armandofreire:
Any link for updated gapps?
[Nexus 5 General] Eneco:
Are you maybe using an app that puts some kind of overlay on your screen? Floating notifications, a screen dimmer or something like that. Because in that case it's an Android security feature kicking in.

You flash those img files via fastboot and not via adb. There's a huge difference between the two.. Anyways, like the previous guy said, you'll loose everything. If you don't want to loose your custom recovery, then flash the img files manually one by one! :)

2. Email. I read on the thread that email FC. I disabled the exchange apk and installed previous exchange apk. However, still FC and no option to set up exchange.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
the stock system has a script that automatically installs the stock recovery after every reboot. It needs to be removed to keep custom recovery.

Yeah, I get that, but there are some hill billies who give a crap about numbers. So its for them. This dev build was pretty slick for me anyway.

I am back to mahdi because, I have customized it according to my needs.

PS: Will jump to the new preview once again when its rooted, and there are some apps which give better control of the camera harnessing the power of camera2 api. Its something I am really interested in. Manual controls.

I've done this 4 times now. Every time I boot system and then power off it's gone (dead android with !). Using TWRP 2.8.0.1 (newest IMG) and full wipe/factory L preview.

I can reboot bootloader/recovery after flashing and its still there... Also the TWRP folder can't be accessed from root explorer - it can only be seen from TWRP after flashing it. Could this be due to a new bootloader? Or is something else now different since I did the full wipe (including SD card)?
[Nexus 5 General] TheColdOne:
That's awesome. I am getting Titanium backup (6.2.0-Test5) installed now to see how much everything works, but so far I seem to have root access without issue.

[Nexus 5 General] inferol:
Yes i know, what i'm saying is that google and app developer have few weeks to iron out bugs and optimise apps for a better battery performance. I dont think they have enough time for this, hence why i might as well stick with kitkat if the final release of android lollipop didn't fix battery drain issues.

And this is the whole point of preview, is to give feedback (which i already did by submitting feedback to google and some apps) and see whether they have enough time to fix battery drain on android lollipop.
