Patience is your friend.
[Nexus 5 General] firevegeta:
i will hope so :D

The Nexus 9 is will be released at 29.10

So maybe the "new" Preview will contains all the new updates.

But we have to wair until tomorrow :D
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
Lol i wish! Unfortunately, I don't think patience knows i exist lol.
[Nexus 5 General] sandeep.kodeti:
So is tommorow the lollipop will be on ota
[Nexus 5 General] ricey1986:
Can't see them releasing the full version until the Nexus 6 starts shipping tbh
[Nexus 5 General] firevegeta:
No, just another "Preview" is gonna released tomorrow :)

Thats what i think too..... they didn't roll out the update until the 29. Oktober.....(thats the day where the Nexus 9 will be released)
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Another preview will be good enough until nov 2nd or whenever they give the official update ..
[Nexus 5 General] XeLLaR*:
Ill just stay on 4.4 until the OTA shows up :)

I had to wait months...those few weeks wont make a huge difference :D

I think good
[Nexus 5 General] ericsignals:
Hopefully this is a preview that is basically complete...leaving it labeled as preview and unfinished helps find any last minute bugs before release and they can still have nexus 6&9 the first to run lollipop (final version vs preview) and add a minor ota if any bugs slip through this last preview
[Nexus 5 General] Garner:
What time do people think that the final build will be listed tomorrow?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Sometime before midnight Pacific time... Probably around noon Pacific time though... They seem to like their prelunch launches.
[Nexus 5 General] Garner:
So around about this time tomorrow :)
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Sure... *hands you a very large grain of salt to take with that info*
[Nexus 5 General] Garner:
Hahaha lets hope ;)
[Nexus 5 General] ReeSilva:
Google is messing up with my anxiety |smile|

Tomorrow will we receive a new preview or final build?

http://www.androidauthority.com/lollipop-ota-nov-3-539768/
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
The wording of the tweet from Google, and other Google announcements said L developer preview... All the "reports" of it being final are speculation based on timing...

Give me a minute and I'll track down the links...

Not the final build yet. Just for those of you who think they are releasing the final build. [emoji16]
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Thanks for those links... I'm still trying to find the one from Google (read it yesterday, but..)

It doesn't help that there are sites out there claiming that tomorrow's dev prev release will be the final build... (see the posted link by the guy confused if it is or not..)

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

What stupid method? I'd assume that Mac is the same as Linux... Install adb/fastboot then run the commands from wherever (depending on your install)
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Sorry typed out fast. I've done it more than a handful of times. Just worded it like an idiot
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
Bump
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Why bump that? If no one talked about it then, what makes you think people will talk about it now? Why not wait one more day and see if its included in the next dev preview yourself?
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
The bump was to see if other members had seen the Universal Data Controls in the previous preview - I hadn't seen it, and wanted to see if I was overlooking something. Most of the other features that were mentioned during I/O were present in the previous dev builds, but I couldnt' find this one, and so, thought I'd ask in this thread (that's what this thread is for, no?)

And about why folks may talk about it now, after ignoring it earlier - it is possible that the earlier post got missed, got buried in other discussions. It is not as though anyone responded to it and said "No - it isn't there" - hence the "bump"
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
What previous preview? There has only been one so far... (ignoring the fit preview, it is effectively the same L base with the fit code tied in) the next is due to be released tomorrow...
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
I misspoke - "Current" preview - not "Previous" preview. Better?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Somewhat... But why not wait one more day, check for yourself, then answer the question rather than just bumping it? It's already waited months, what's one more day?
[Nexus 5 General] j'vai:
it's a sweet feature, not for the lazy -

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/25/io-2014-privacy-controls-are-coming-in-android-l-as-universal-data-controls-though-details-are-scarce/

detailed security controls, fine grained control..

*it's just in there* like, tomato paste in the spaghetti sauce, like the overlooked camera api ..

both, we may not see until the official update, .. who knows..
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
I guess I am not expressing my question clearly enough.

In the CURRENT preview, has anyone seen any trace of "Universal Data Controls"? Not asking about whether it will be there in tomorrow's build, or in the final release - obviously, we won't know that yet. I'm asking to see if anyone has seen this feature, that was mentioned during Google I/O (and no discussion about it after that), in the currently available preview.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Thanks. I read this article too, but other than this, I don't see any reference to this anywhere else. Have you been able to find any trace of this in the current developer build? If so, could you elaborate?
[Nexus 5 General] j'vai:
my bad, I edited in "both, we may not see until the official update, .. who knows.."

because as with the developer release(s) many things were left out, leaving only the core OS base as a playpen for devs, that's all they needed for their future apps..

I feel you anticipation tho,

I was dying to see the new camera api, & none appeared..
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Perhaps I'm not phrasing my Confusion clearly enough... What does it matter if it's I the current build or not when there is a new build out tomorrow?
[Nexus 5 General] Audioboxer:
Not tried any of the current preview builds, looking forward to this one as I'm sure it will be near final :)
[Nexus 5 General] TheArc:
From the info we've shared and obtained, I would like to clear the minds of some people so these questions aren't being constantly repeated.

1. When will the build be released, and what sort of build is it? The new Android Lollipop build will be released sometime on Friday (US time as some countries are already ahead like New Zealand and Aus). This is just another Developer Preview, the reason for this may be that Google wishes to squash almost every bug before they push the update to stock devices.

2. Will the new developer preview have the new Materialized applications and content? Yes, most likely it will, Google is close to pushing the final update but they want people to test out their current content before they take a leap of faith. So I believe the new developer preview will have the new Gmail, Music, Chrome etc etc.
[Nexus 5 General] x10user2011:
someone mentioned a few pages back that flashable zips causes problems? why's that? (of the dev preview)
[Nexus 5 General] jrodsep:
Android "L" Developer Preview Discussion

I just want the apk's for stock apps and the new messages app. If i can install them I'm golden until I get the OTA in the following weeks.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
If it was me, it's because I don't trust them... I'd rather use the original install package provided by the manufacturer rather than a repack from others...
[Nexus 5 General] Travelawyer:
The big question is: will we be able to update from this new preview to the final version in a few weeks or will we have to do a clean install again. Cause that's a pain in the ass.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
"Developer preview". Google won't see the need as it is assumed you know how to flash it properly anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] EPayne123:
Doubtful we will be able to because of the higher possibility in the Dev. Preview of improper OTA updating because of possible FW or SW flaws.
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Someone should check the GPU DRIVER version when the new builds arrive... And make a zip out of it ;)
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
I imagine that this will just be the final build released a little early to devs running the preview to enable us to fix our apps to work with any changes made in the final build before the OTA is pushed out to everyone.

There are some Google apps (ie: the Play store) which have recently been updated to work with the final build, but don't run properly on the preview release, so I imagine that the story may be similar with regards to apps optimized for the preview build moving over to the final build, hence I believe that we will get the final build on the Android Dev page today.

When it comes is it possible to flash it over stock rooted custom rom?
[Nexus 5 General] failly:
What is a stock rooted custom rom?
[Nexus 5 General] Tylog:
Stock Rooted custom Rom :) but i know what you mean and no, it's not possible.
[Nexus 5 General] slobo2712:
Heh i see now my mistake tnx,than what to do?
[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
Come on google just flip the switch! :D
[Nexus 5 General] Tylog:
Np:)

Flash with fastboot or wait for a recovery flashable zip. In the thread from Vomer you will find one when the Time is come.
[Nexus 5 General] Wrapp:
Means I have to reinstall all apps when I'm moving from 4.4 to the preview, right?

Will titanium backups be ok, or do I have to install the app from scratch (play store, all settings gone)?

TiBu will do just fine as long as you don't restore system apps.

[Nexus 5 General] Tylog:
You have to do a full wipe, data if you flash in Recovery.

In the previous builds TB was ok(beta builds from TB, link in Vomer Thread) , as ever, don't restore system apps. But 100% guarantee i can't give you, not before i have the Build running :)
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
You might not have too.

The earlier preview couldn't do an upgrade (well, it could, but you were left with an unusable mess), but this version will be much further along and it might work fine. Time will tell.
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
I still can't believe nobody has made the Nexus 69 joke

Around 9.30 where Google HQ are, will be around 5.30 PM on the GMT timezone, so relax people, it's a long day and wait ahead of us.

Any good lollipop jokes so far? :P
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
Its rivals, iOS & WP.

It's ironic really as they're the ones that suck... :\
[Nexus 5 General] MidnightDevil:
:D

It's not gonna be rare to hear someone saying "suck my nexus" from now on

or handheld.

or "mobile".
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
And yet people are still confused about why the new nexus' are the Nexus 6&9???
[Nexus 5 General] monkboy24:
My mind , body , and soul is ready!!! Lol

I will now pull out my Nexus 5 and dust it off in preparation

Lol
[Nexus 5 General] kidkoala_uk:
There is a good reason for that....its pishflaps :p
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
I wonder if anyone else has noticed that at the bottom of the Android Dev page there is exactly '666k' '+1's'...

Is this just a joke from Google due to halloween fast approaching?, or Google being the beast and not giving us 5.0 today?, or is that just the genuine number of +1's?...

http://developer.android.com/index.html
[Nexus 5 General] MidnightDevil:
How dare they, to play with serious things. There's religious people all around the world that could be offended by that.

I'm talking about them not releasing it today. Not the 666 :P

On the other hand, it is curious, it's static. Possesed maybe? :P
[Nexus 5 General] projeto56:

[Nexus 5 General] jpalo:

[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Also reading the nexus 4 owners whine be a use they don't get this preview today is entertaining also.
[Nexus 5 General] MidnightDevil:
Here come the haters, that can't stand a little of fun :P

And here I though we used to share knowledge and stuff, but since we are humans and all, a little socialization and fun couldn't hurt anyone while we're waiting for the "next big lollipop."

Lighten up people, it's not like we're talking about wars and stuff.

Come on, group hug :)
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
I wouldn't be surprised if the L Port Team will have a Alpha port up tomorrow, It all depends on how much the kernel has changed since the previous preview
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
Either the forum goes dead for several hours or people have a social chat related to all things Android whilst we wait.

As long as it is related to Android Lollipop/"L" then it is on topic anyway....
[Nexus 5 General] MidnightDevil:
While my expectations are not high, mostly because I know how simplistic AOSP tends to be, I believe that the experience (new animations, different user experience due the new material design, new API's), will be overally pleasent :)

Do you guys think Lollipop will bring the introduction of Material Design to the next versions to come, or will be one release thing? Eg; next version will be based on something else, like dark matter design :b

"what if, you interacted with the UI, and nothing happened because IT DOESN'T EXIST". :b
[Nexus 5 General] :
I think the material design will be carried along all the next versions of Android to come.
[Nexus 5 General] Koragg618:
You can't blame the people talking in the thread, not much information has been released, so most of it is pure speculation.

This thread will come alive once the new preview drops today (or final build according to some rumours).
[Nexus 5 General] :
The reports were that the Messaging App (Whatsapp rival) will be first released in the developing countries and then rolled out to others. But I think it is a wrong move altogether, wont impact much if not released in all countries.
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
That was my point...

but obviously some people have been suggesting that no one speaks about these kinds of things whilst we are waiting...

Sorry if the words I used made it sound like I was against it...
[Nexus 5 General] jumper62:
Wikipedia are ahead
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:

But that is old developer preview. They just changed the name from L to Lollipop!

I'm trying to change SELinux mode from Enforcing to Permissive on the 81c developer preview. When I open a terminal and type "su setenforce 0", its still giving me a permission denied message. Also tried the app in the playstore but that didn't work either. Tried searching around without much luck finding answers. Any ideas?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
And a new build name...
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I do.

I love the idea of Material Design but don't really see it taking hold before Google moves on to another design template as many devs are horribly slow at adopting design changes. I mean.....how many apps have adopted the status/nav bar gradients introduced in KitKat almost a year ago now??? Hell I think GEL is the only Google app that uses it.
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
Come to think of it, if this is not the final build, then I have to wonder if that is because Google are holding back something special like a better security updates system which only works on devices using un-modified android roms.

Or they just haven't finalised all of their apps which they wish to release by default on Lollipop.
[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
I hope its the finalized version, just Google test driving it.
[Nexus 5 General] SWTR:
Wait, material design is a big change. Do you know the change to holo design? Almost every app has the holo design now, and so will it happen with material design too. The statusbar change was a little change on kitkat..
[Nexus 5 General] :
See the icons
[Nexus 5 General] Koragg618:
Not to mention there actually a good amount of apps that actually did follow the Kitkat guidelines.
[Nexus 5 General] :
The Play Music app should include a good equalizer. It badly needs it. I had to buy Poweramp for good audio output. May the MusicFx does something good than just a placeholder.
[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
Viper is a good solution too

Material design play music I cannot wait!!
[Nexus 5 General] aldyu:
I want to be wrong but I think this upcoming developer preview is just a bunch of fixes from the previous one, most of the changes/adjustments will be in the final build. I love to be wrong on this.
[Nexus 5 General] sergiu.d:
Don't hate me guys, but i'm at work and i can't flash system images. Is there a flashable zip of the latest preview? Ty

Not yet...

But remember that it is 7:52am over in Mountain View now, so expect one in the next few hours.
[Nexus 5 General] DrearierJester1:
Wiki says DP3, so technically Google did not release DP2.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Or are they counting fit as dp2?
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
They edited wikipedia page XD
[Nexus 5 General] Kitkattii:
Uhmm.. Looks like someone corrected Android Lollipop latest preview in wikipedias' page. Now it shows "Latest preview	LPV81C (DP2) / 7 August 2014; 2 months ago[1]". Link here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Lollipop :confused::confused:

Edit: Gaurav ninja'd :)
[Nexus 5 General] InGeNeTiCs:
Google stated that this was an update to the developer preview, not the full release. So yes, it'll just be bugfixes, but it should be very close to what the release will be at this point.
[Nexus 5 General] SmilerOnline:
Right, now its 8am over there, get hitting those refresh keys people!!! :P
[Nexus 5 General] nav13eh:
Considering they will be currently installing the final system images on the two new devices in factories right now, I'd expect that today's release will be pretty much the final version.

1. Titanium Backup

2. Backup your /sdcard to pc
[Nexus 5 General] tonyreimer:
Encryption on first boot??.....
[Nexus 5 General] tanjiajun_34:
Not sure the best way. I just use Titanium Backup to backup my application then transfer every folders to my computer because my past experience with the previous L developer preview, I need to wipe my internal data.... Transfer files using MTP to a Mac seems to be faster than transferring to a Windows computer for me.

It doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. I assume you unlocked your device and run the flash-all script?
[Nexus 5 General] ck.chunkeat:
Exactly! It just makes me sick when people flash it and then complain about it. If you don't even know how to flash it and asking whether you can keep your user data without flashing, you probably shouldn't even think of flashing it!

Also, people really need to learn to READ before POSTING!

It is also sickening to see people asking the same thing over and over and over and over again every single page of this thread.
