You don't do anything, you wait for Google to choose to activate it for your account. I think right now it's one of those staged rollouts, eventually it will be activated for everyone.
[Nexus 5 General] tomzefi:
Man I just keep rambling. But another opinion. Just reverted back to another ROM and I am kinda missing android L. Anyone plan on running it as their daily? I am going to flash back to this I think.
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen_at_max:
Fix?

I have the same problem. I have used adb and fastboot several times before without problems now it crashes in the middle
[Nexus 5 General] derPianist:
I'm running it since the day it has been released and I don't have any issues whatsoever. Battery life is not that great but I can live with that.
[Nexus 5 General] Tyrany:
Amoled? Not a nexus5
[Nexus 5 General] tomzefi:
Really besides not being able to customize the hell out of it, battery was the only issue. I ran it till today and I did find battery was getting a liiiiiitle better. Bout to go back to it. The fresh look trumps the customizations.
[Nexus 5 General] Tyrany:
U can, there is a topic on xda with an apk made to unlock it, but device language should be us-us, the apk is something caled unleashgoogle

edit* after some research there was some erros on L because of root but dont know if it is solved now, so proceed with caution and nandroid just for safety
[Nexus 5 General] derPianist:
Especially the look screen! I'm in love with it. So handy to fast reply to notifications e.g. WhatsApp.
[Nexus 5 General] tomzefi:
Ya I don't if I was surprised or not surprised to see the implementation of lock notifications, non intrusive calls and the new recents. I mean we seen all these things in the custom ROMs. I am really liking the fact that google possibly picked up a couple ideas from the Devs. Those are some strong indications that google is watching.;):cool::thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] derPianist:
If Google would not watch, who else would do?! [emoji16]

But I agree, its extremely nice to see that Google is adding more features to the stock Android environment.
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
2nd day with this Preview I'm loving it! System UI looks awesome along with the colors wow. Battery life seems a lot better but how can I check the totals hours since unplugged.

No FC's and no bugs whatsoever on a clean flash. Seems like the speaker greatly improved too.
[Nexus 5 General] tomzefi:
Speaker? Man I didn't even think to pay attention. I am flashing back riiiiiiiiite nooow.
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
For me yea, it's pretty loud. I'm using Google play music[emoji101]
[Nexus 5 General] rmein:
Just spotted another little issue with the new notification/quick settings:

I use Lux to control brightness. On the first swipe down it's fine and I can interact with the notification. After the second swipe to bring down the quick settings tiles, it is no longer possible to interact with the Lux notification even though it is still visible. Haven't checked it with other notifications yet, but it is going to be so annoying because there is no visual indication that the notification has been disbled.

Bluetooth issues

Having trouble connecting ANY bluetooth devices.

Was fine for the first two days but tried to connect a new device and it didnt work. Then tried to unpair and repair an existing device and now thats not working.

Expected there to be issues but before I restore to factory settings anyone have any quicker tips to clear a bluetooth cache or just unbork my bluetooth?

Thanks.

I was just about to ask the same damn question right now!! Haha are you my long lost twin!?
[Nexus 5 General] naazgulla:
Have any of you tried using the phone while charging? I'm noticing significant lag/weird touch response. This was there in KK too, but in L its is much more. I just cant use my phone while its being charged (original wall charger). Any solution?
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
Nope mines fine
[Nexus 5 General] Zainiak:
When I had this issue back on my nexus 4, it was a problem with the charger. So I'd say try a different charger and cable

Could someone please post a screenshot from the new Chrome; I want to use the address bar input box on my speed dial on my website but the only screenshot I can find has the a 'your signed in' overlay over it.
[Nexus 5 General] lotherius:
It slows down the clock speed, turns off vibration, lowers screen brightness and does something else that I forget.

As far as lowering the clock speed - it DRASTICALLY lowers it. Your phone will be slow with battery mode enabled. But the battery will maybe last until you reach a charger.

EDIT: N/M... I was referring to "Battery Saver" on the battery options menu.

However, I suspect that the developer mode battery saver enables that all the time.
[Nexus 5 General] AnandMuralidhar:
I was using the latest Google Camera itself and the Google + app was updated.But the action bar still remained.
[Nexus 5 General] jparnell:
Just tested with the developer setting on and vibrate is still on and i havent noticed any difference to brightness or phone speed so i think its different to the battery saver option within battery settings.
[Nexus 5 General] Piereligio:
Hi guys, do you know if there is a custom kernel yet? I'd like to load my colors profile and boost sound.. :/
[Nexus 5 General] :
Excuse me but I'm not whining or rude man...wow ok keep calm and take a look at my signature, yes I have not a Nexus device but I think I can give my opinion on the next Android version that I will use via a custom Rom.
[Nexus 5 General] CaptainAnd:
Only for Nexus 5 ?

I'm wondering, can i install this preview to my Lg G2(D802)?

Or in the future will they release this to other models?
[Nexus 5 General] DVTeixeira:
That doesn't sound like a good idea but I remember someone who managed to do it but it was missing camera functionality and some other things.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yep only for Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) ;)
[Nexus 5 General] cobhc:
Yes, but do it in a general android thread, not the Nexus 5 specific one.
[Nexus 5 General] mathew1234:
Guys does anyone have a lock screen bug?(phone not unlocking until reboot)..

I'm just mentioning it and I know that its a preview version.. Just wanted to know of anyone else faces this.
[Nexus 5 General] milestone2mod:
Yep, also interested. But with sound boost: I noticed that when I turn on the equalizer, the volume is drastically decreasing, even without any settings. So now the question is: is something like a "volume boost" enabled by default? And is, when enabling the EQ, disabled? I didn't experienced such a thing with KitKat....
[Nexus 5 General] Lim Wee Huat:
Nope. Unlocking is working fine here.
[Nexus 5 General] Toss3:
Anyone else a bit disappointed in Android L's performance? I mean we are now 5 iterations from the first release of project butter (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and now L), and we're still not seeing constant 60fps across the UI(especially when downloading and installing an app in the background). Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but I was really hoping to see an improvement here (they might still do some performance tweaking in the later stages, but right now it runs exactly the same as Kit Kat).

Other than that I'm loving the new material design!
[Nexus 5 General] Scrowlerfly:
I just woke up and tried unlocking my phone and it was frozen.

BUT this Has so far only happened once, so I'm not too worried! Again, to be expected on a dev preview!
[Nexus 5 General] Valdorous:
Nobody should be screaming at anybody...

But this thread is for Nexus 5 users running the Android Preview, or people wanting to know about it, but certainly not a general thread for all devices to come and talk about things they "want"...

You may want to know about it, to know what to expect from a custom ROM, but do you really need to complain about things that aren't finished and/or not relevant to our device, you are in our forums after all, so AMOLED means nothing to us.

If you had maybe done a bit more research, the idea for Android L is to have 2 themes. A dark and a light one. Don't ask me on specifics. I simply read up on it on the dev site.

And I'm sure you know, TRDS... (The Real Dark Slim) from the Slim team. They will (followed by several other devs) provide a blacked out ROM to most devices.

Writing this...

I realise especially since you're gonna use a custom ROM, posting here really doesn't have any use for you or anybody.

Will never happen, Google always tell us 60 fps and improved battery every release.. never happens.

Use TSF Shell, 60fps and no stutters since I been using it on evo3d.. many moons ago. You can put Google shut on a nuclear powered CPU/GPU, it would still stutter.

My phone is stuck at boot animation because of wrong editing of build.prop. I tried pushing build.prop via adb, but it is not replacing the old build.prop in the phone. I just want "mmssms.db" from the phone, so i tried pulling it out via adb, but it says "remote object not found". I even tried making a backup in recovery and then pulling it out via adb, but the data zip doesn't show the telephony folder. So is there any way to push "build.prop" to the phone and replace the old build.prop or to pull "mmssms.db" from the phone ?

[Nexus 5 General] Bafometz:
playing 1080p video very laggy .. anyone have same issue? :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
I believe all apps created with minimum sdk of 20+ and implementing material design are 60 fps already.

Apps with material design are animation heavy. Transition animations between activities are very heavy too.

It is contrary to what Google did to Android 4.0 before, in which they truly reduce the animations in Holo so that they are light. They are mostly just fades and other light animations. However, rotation animation was introduced (Android 2.3 doesn't have one) which is a bit heavy, but perhaps they can't think of a light one for rotation that is still logical. And yeah that rotation animation lags even in kitkat, sometimes.

For Google to change those light animations into heavy ones in material design as what can be seen in iOS and WP, they should be truly sure that those animations won't stutter. So you can't really compare L with 4.x
