I take it we can flash back to KIT KAT from L if I should desire to do so?

Ta
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thanks for the screenshots, unfortunately it's the same bad UI (blue divider line) on Kitkat for mobile network settings and for others settings.

Maybe report this issue here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list.

Change the MMS settings in Hangouts to your current APN you're using. Mine was set to the first APN in the APN list that wasn't my active one - once I changed it, MMS started flowing like normal.

Android L will have 64-bit compatability, yes. But AFAIK our phone only has a 32-bit processor. So no 64-bit for us [emoji6]
[Nexus 5 General] MultiLockOn:
Not a fan of the new multitasking menu, seems cluttered and counterintuitive. Also I miss the separated toggles and notifications, seemed more organised. Maybe it's just me.
[Nexus 5 General] Telomir:
Can also be enabled via ADB:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:status_bar_show_battery_percent --bind value:i:1

adb reboot

enjoy :)

If you want to turn percentages off, change the value to 0:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:status_bar_show_battery_percent --bind value:i:0

adb reboot
[Nexus 5 General] Langduscher:
According to Google, vast improvements can be made with using apps now. There are new APIs which enable app developers to use battery more intelligently. That's why we already have the Preview build: when Google releases Android L in the wild, a lot of apps could be using this new technology already so reports on battery will be raving right off the bat.

Squeeze in a little more capacity and you can see where this is going. I like it.

Also, battery is as good as 4.4 on a custom kernel (which is far better than stock kernel to begin with). So improvements are definately there - and more so when kernel source will be released so that kernel developers can work their magic.

I'm liking Android L so far :) too bad Docs/ Sheets aren't working - & I miss USB fast charge. But I definitely like where Android is going!
[Nexus 5 General] pathtologos:
Hey all. I downloaded the new twitter beta that someone posted about 10 to 15 pages pages back (on Tapatalk). Only thing is I downloaded it while being on another ROM. I then flashed back to L, searched for the download using root explorer but unfortunately it seems that on L, with root explorer, I can't see the contents of my download folder on my SD card. Really weird. Anyone found a file explorer that's working completely?

Thanks

[Nexus 5 General] Dr.Pepper:
guys,dont you think that Google will publish new androil L version soon,as on I/O there was a bit different UI of system,which,i think.will be a new build?)))

FOR EXAMPLE-1)settings was in dark UI

2)contacts was different from nows build(status bar was colored and contacts has another design)
[Nexus 5 General] datallboy:
I wonder if the ART stable(r) version in Android L will also be released to KitKat devices, or if there's any way to take the version from preview to KitKat.
[Nexus 5 General] MilkyJoePD:
The old one is still there.

If you are rooted there may be a way to change the button so it uses it.

I'm not rooted yet so can't experiment.

Over-counted seems to be the opposite of Miscellaneous. In Miscellaneous, Computed power is less than Min/Max real power. In Over-counted, Computed power is greater than Min/Max real power.

Will installing Superuser instead of SuperSU on the play store instead of the zip work?
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Bluetooth volume is now properly synced between the phone and the BT device. Meaning that if I change the volume on my BT headset (a Sony Ericsson MW600 in my case) the BT volume on the phone is adjusted accordingly, and vice versa. Before they were separate (not sure if that was intended or if it was a bug), but now you only have one shared volume level to worry about. So that's nice.
[Nexus 5 General] szucsgf:
You're certainly on to something. But the calculation doesn't seem to be

(Max real power - Computed power)/(Total battery capacity)

For instance in my example that would result in 19.74%, which would round to 20%, but the screen shows 19% used by Miscellaneous. I believe Miscellaneous is calculated using the average of Min real power and Max real power, which always gives the right result. That is

((Average of Min real power and Max real power) - Computed power)/(Total battery capacity) = percentage battery used by Miscellaneous

I just want to say I am really liking the recents menu. This is my webOS fan boy coming out but it would be cool if you could organize them. Like tap and hold and reorder them. Or stack them. Former webOS users will get it. :)

Here is my battery life. .

Awesome.. Just awesome
[Nexus 5 General] R1R N1GHTMARE:
Very stable for me. Everything works
[Nexus 5 General] Enhanced:
You clearly charged your phone.
[Nexus 5 General] RayLovesick:
Those screens don't show the actual power draw in mAh though. What I meant is that "Computed power" is all power draw that the system has counted so far, in mAh. That includes everything, such as display, app use, radios, etc. It's comparing that metric to the actual measured power draw in the "Max real power". Ideally, these shouldn't be different, but for some reason they are here.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Not charging actually .. I was transferring some data .. It increased only 3 to 5%

After upgrade to "L" restore this folder. Root is needed.

I have pretty much the same battery life.

Can't we just trust each other?

Your comment in it's entirety screamed negativity...

As for the battery, I too have amazing battery life.

The battery life although using the manual installation seems to be a lot better than when I flashed via TWRP using one of the .zip's posted here.

So, if you're not experiencing the same and flashed via TWRP or CWM, I recommend flashing via fastboot. :)
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
What flickering in the recents ui are you referring to? I haven't noticed any.
[Nexus 5 General] hungmung:
You're assuming it isn't going to be implemented once again this is actually only for developers to have a base to test it literally tells you the first time you boot that not everything is in place and working. Worry about these things when it's an actual build

[Nexus 5 General] Calebz:
I have been running L flashed via twrp since the zip became available.

Things I have noticed:

Battery life is the same as it was on 4.4.4

MMS works fine.

Not a single FC yet.

Root works.. Sort of. Binaries flash OK. SU installs and updates. Only root program I have installed currently is ES explorer. It gets added to the list in SU, but ES explorer says it fails the test.

[Nexus 5 General] caenix8:
ok, thank :(
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
None that are third party. I believe the only heads up has been the low battery warning for power saver. Other than that the hangouts don't work. Developers must implement that into their apps. So for me just that. What app worked for you. ? What does sort of work is when JM watching a video and I get a notification from hangouts it does do the heads up.

[Nexus 5 General] kopower:
I'm digging L so far. Everything seems to be working on my end. At first I didn't like the nav buttons, but they've grown on me. The only thing I'm not liking is the notification pull down. Seems I'm not alone there. I'm sure there will be tweaks coming. Seems like a solid dd so far.

[Nexus 5 General] ludorexmundi:

[Nexus 5 General] kopower:
Use multirom. That way you can use your main ROM, and play around with this one when you want to.
[Nexus 5 General] Enhanced:
Probably because of the animations. Maybe try speeding up the animations in the developer menu. I wish there were .75 animation scales as .5 seems way too fast.
[Nexus 5 General] wigginst:
I got that. It was just weird to me they had stopped working on things they had been working on. No big. I understand a preview had bugs. Just wanted to see if anyone else had seen that one.

One feature of custom roms I miss is nav bar shortcuts or quick launch, especially for screen off(so much easier than using power button).

A quick way to do it is to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock

You can assign it swipe up for screen lock(replaces google now). Since Gnow is built into launcher you don't really miss it :)

My phone is really starting to piss me off, I have had this phone for about 2 years now and this is the THIRD time this has happened, me and my girlfriend are pissed off about it, the problem is that my phone has a sticky power button where it will think I'm holding the button but I'm not. When my phone decides to turn off from this problem and vibrate every 3 seconds, I just hit the power button and it restarts, I've dealt with this for about a year now. During that time, my phone has booted up and went to the welcome screen (if I were to boot it up for the first time). Why the hell is this happening??? This erased ALL my apps, wallpapers and what not, but the thing is...my SD card contained all the apps, because I was scared that my phone would do that again, and it did. When I try to go into the settings, I see that my internal memory, SD, and USB storage still have memory in them, as if nothing happened. Shouldn't I be able to get everything back without a problem if that's the case? Please help guys, I really don't want to lose all my apps and game data and everything....

I really wish that the device producers would unlock the device if the decision had been made to discontinue support.

An unlocked bootloader after they discontinue support would be nice!
