you guys think its ready for daily use? is it laggy? I know it is a preview version and it has been released a few hours ago, but I dont have to much time to keep backuping/restoring and flashing among diferent roms

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
If you don't have time to play with different roms stick with 4.4
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
It's gonna be like that for a while, if you're at the Google logo. As in, stuck. Long press power button to force restart, go into bootloader, and fastboot flash the cache image. Reboot and you should be fine.

Anyone know what the hell is miscellaneous??
[Nexus 5 General] jm77:
I believe a lot of people were having this issue in 4.4.x - some were having battery drain issues as well related to this.
[Nexus 5 General] OrbitalDroid:
IMO, it will suck on a Preview release...
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Been told that only for battery saver. But I'm still playing with it. I hope more people chine in instead of posting about root.
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Has anyone else noticed that notifications don't show any text in the status bar? The icon just pops up on its own. So you can't just glance up there to see what the notification is about, you have to actually open the notification shade. But I suppose this is just a bug/unfinished.
[Nexus 5 General] gbenj:
Reboot loop (Fixed itself)

So installed this afternoon, been loving it, got all my stuff back up and running.

On my way home from work had two issues.

1) Spotify kept stopping playing audio, opened phone, looked like app was killed.(Maybe memory leak? who knows, could be anything, will see if it continues)

2) Got stuck in a boot loop. Would get into phone for about 10 seconds before it rebooted back to "boot animation" screen, (no google logo) Happened over and over, finally I caught it when it started up and shut it down, started back up like 20 minutes later and same thing happened, shut it down again...when I got home, I booted up to try and get some adb logs and see what was going on and miraculously it stopped looping.

Have the logs that I think caught the issue if anyone wants to take a look. I can troubleshoot an issue but not enough of a developer to actually see whats going on.

Just wanted to mention the reboot in case anyone else has the same issue after its been working for a while.

Yes, I was working from a fresh install with a wipe, but had a bunch of apps installed before it started with the boot loop so it could have been any of them.
[Nexus 5 General] OrbitalDroid:
Well, it sucks. I had ~30,000 on 4.4.3 :/
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
I made it t pretty fast... Apps running and stuff... I'm not a benchmark guy I did it only for you to see it...
[Nexus 5 General] Gormandy:
I am having the issue of being stuck on the Google logo... what cache image are you referring to? I've run the flash-all script twice and I'm stuck on the google logo for over 20 mins both times.

Google Now

Google now seems a bit quicker on this preview..

MMS won't send when I am on WiFi, turn off WiFi, sends right away.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
I can send and receive on WiFi and off. Notification light works for MMS also.
[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
i think this might sound crazy but i think i like it stock, i know its a way early preview but the way it looks and some changes here and there i like it

the keyboard, the new notification, and i see that it shows how much time left i got till my phone finish charging sweet :D, and from the lock screen i can swipe right to quickly access the phone ikr :D

the only thing i like on rooted device is the charging indicator light that was packaged in the custom rom, hopefully at the official release google could probably integrate a notification indicator so we can customize the way our notification lights up
[Nexus 5 General] OrbitalDroid:
The result will depend on the running apps and other things, but it usually don't lower the score like that. And thank you for the screenshot ! I'm not a benchmark guy either, at least I don't run benchmarks every day, just when I flash a new version of Android ;)
[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
yeah i had the same problem it was in the bootloop so i forced shutdown and restarted (by holding the power button) till it shutdown and restart, i had to do it twice then it finally wanna work booted right up to the setup page :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] Luxferro:
Hopefully they add more control for the lock screen notifications, so we can mark which apps contain sensitive info, and which don't. right now you can only show a generic notification w/ no content, content for all apps, no notifications for all apps, or selectively disable notifications for apps. I'd like to be able to use lockscreen controls of plex, music, and netflix w/o having to show all sensitive info for all apps.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormandy:
I've restarted it more than two times already, I'm still not getting past the Google logo :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Where the controls for that info?

[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
ohh... you know what i did, it might sound funny probably real funny, but when i was in the bootloop i put myself into the fastboot mode went into recovery mode and that android logo came up with that error coming out of his belly lol, so i just held the power button wait for it to restart and it went right thru

strange way to get something working huh,
[Nexus 5 General] jm77:
Anyone familiar with a way to manually restore a data for an app created with Titanium Backup? I've got one app that I need to restore the data from, but obviously full root isn't available yet.

Once I get this app running, I can use L as my daily driver!

Suggestions are appreciated.

[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
I never used the flash-all script so I'm not sure if it flashes it, but if you unzip the zip within the .tgz you'll find more images. One of those is the cache image. You can flash it with

fastboot flash cache /path/to/cache.img
[Nexus 5 General] Ryyuu:
Has anyone tested WiFi or USB tethering?

I can't get it to work with my Win8.1 machine.

It connects okay, but just says the connection has limited connectivity.

:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
From what I heard from one of the I/O sessions, individual apps will be able to set options for the privacy as well. So, we may not see a system wide setting for each app but the setting will be inside of the apps.
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
Greenify also made my device force reboot and wipe cache by it self... Its really annoying now with ART and the time it want to rebuild data... Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
Made a few wallpapers for those who just flashed.
[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
thanks for telling him a better explanation :highfive:

i used the flash-all bat thing and it gotten me to a bootloop and i did this weird thing and got it working lol :victory:

wifi tethering

Wifi tethering seems borked on this preview..Try to connect with my N7 2013, TF 101..And doesnt do anything keep obtaining IP address foever..Just a heads up guys. I am running the stock L preview.. Not complaining just FYI on my end..Will do futher testing..
[Nexus 5 General] liandri:
i flashed android L with the flash-all.sh script and after that i wiped cache in the recovery menu..

[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
For people who have MMS working, which app are you using?
[Nexus 5 General] Luxferro:
Good to know.

It seems like it would be easier to make the options in the OS, right where the options to selectively disable notification on per app level. Would just need a additional tick box for lock screen content.
[Nexus 5 General] OrbitalDroid:
Cool ! I really like them, so I'm gonna take them all, thanks a lot !
[Nexus 5 General] flex360:
its fun to play around with but i think im going back to 4.4.4 :)

MMS bug is killing me
[Nexus 5 General] iboj007:
The MMS issue is pretty bad. Something so basic should work even on a preview release.
[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
No problem! Glad you like.

These are made with the 'stock' launcher in mind.

The logos are low enough so they won't be hidden behind the lock screen clock.

At the same time, you have space for a 4x2 widget.

Bluetooth tethering

Bluetooth tethering working on my end..Its good I have something to rely on..FYI guys. Stock L Preview..
[Nexus 5 General] flightsimmer:
I'm having issues with getting notification sounds to play properly when they're stored on the SD card partition. If I use a default sound that's in System/Media, the sounds work every time. However, if I set one that's stored on sd, it will maybe play one time, then I get the notifications and vibration, but no sound. As far as I can tell, ringtones and alarm sounds stored on SD seem to be working OK, it's just notification sounds that are giving me issues. Anyone else running into this? My next step is going to be copying some of my notification sounds to the system partition via TWRP's file manager and see if I still have the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
You guys can't send MMS or receive a mms? I just sent one to my wife and I can send. I use google voice so I receive all my MMS thru gmail.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormandy:
Thanks for the response,

the flash-all script does flash all the images inside that zip, I still re-flashed the cache.img but I'm still stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked lock at the bottom. This time around it has been stuck for 7 minutes...
[Nexus 5 General] _Infamous_:
I can send and receive when wifi is off only
[Nexus 5 General] wind784:
Really enjoyed the preview, but going back to 4.4.4 unfortunately due to the MMS problem, SMS/Data no problems. Tried everything, best I could get was getting the message that I had a MMS and to download it, which would fail, this is with auto-retrieve MMS on, my MMS would appear to be sent, but not show up for the recipient. Third party apps failed also and APNs are correct. This was Telus in AB BTW, if anyone here finds a fix please share, thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Ah I just sent with WiFi on using hangouts. Maybe those separate APN setting in hangouts.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Really. While MMS doesn't send on WiFi for me it DOES send on Tmobile data for me. Just fine. Not a killer for me as I hardly send pics. And I'm sure it'll get fixed soon. No reason for me to do all the work to go back. My priorities were making sure calls and text worked.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Download root browser, can you see anything in /sdcard? I got that error before and I think it's when the app requires some additional stuff so it tries to download that to the "sdcard" first, but since /sdcard mounting is kinda screwed up it just throws the error. I fixed that by wiping all of userdata, so flashing the userdata.img. Again, I'm not sure about flash-all, did you remove the -w? But in general you can go back to fastboot and do this:

fastboot flash userdata /path/to/userdata.img

And if you boot up and check storage, and your 32GB Nexus 5 displays only 16GB, then do this:

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img

Boot into stock recovery, wipe cache, factory reset. In doing both steps you will lose all your files, so be sure to copy those over to a computer. Be warned, this wipes EVERYTHING. On the bright side, once you boot up sdcard is mounted properly, even if there's now nothing in it :p

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
Here are just expensive to use..and mostly outside of our carrier program... There are so useful cause we have wifi everywhere so we can use social chats to send pictures....
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
That could explain why every time I try to do something in ROM Toolbox's App Manager the phone just reboots. Same thing to happen with Nandroid Manager. Also, ES File Manager's "root check" fails, while like you said, Root Explorer works. Funny though, both ROM Toolbox and Nandroid Manager should only need data partition write access? Or is that part of the "elevated command"?
[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
yeah acting up but its a preview what else do we expect and plus i dont really use the messaging to send pics anyway i do most of my texting on kik since its the new trend
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
After your reboot Android is updating or just a simple reboot??
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Here's the thing, I never really waited it out xD

It seemed to take a long time so I just booted into recovery and wiped cache/dalvik there and it boots up fine, after a long time of "Android is upgrading". Perhaps if I just waited it out I'll end up with the same result. Someone want to test?

I think I'm satisfied with the current progress, I'll just leave my phone be for the rest of the day unless something major happens. Meanwhile gonna go play around with those new APIs and see if I can add some into my apps. Hopefully root apps will be sorted out within a few days, I have trust in the community :D
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Notices that too. Switched to Tmobile APN and it didn't make a difference. Will try reboot and see if that works.
[Nexus 5 General] Gormandy:

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
Many apps gave me force "soft" reboot a while after I gave them root access and then I had to wait for cache to build...

[Nexus 5 General] the.emilio:
First impressions: installed images via the flash all script using Linux. Installation was easy as I didn't have to do anything except boot into boot loader and let the script do its job.

Boot time was a matter of a few minutes at most.

Activate mobile data service went thru within 30 seconds on Sprint. Sprint menus work for PRL, profile and data.

Bluetooth audio/music streaming and voice works great. WiFi no problems. Auto brightness works perfect.. I saw someone said it didn't earlier today. No issues with camera.

Twitter does FC as reported all day. Minor UI issues with Facebook as mentioned earlier. Netflix works perfect with audio and video playback. All 3 buttons on button are there and status bar has no problem fully expanding.

If you didn't do a full install or did not run the flash all script because you only wanted bits and pieces or didn't want to fully wipe your system then that's why you are having general issues that others aren't. Stop being lazy and flash this fresh like Google said so.

Oh and I show all my memory..

Sooooo... Yeah you did something wrong.

Edit: Also flashed TWRP no problems and rooted with no problems thanks to [MENTION=4316709]savoca[/MENTION].

MMS and SMS works no problems sending and receiving
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
That happened to me too. Link a couple of post back explains root apps are going to have to go with a new way of using su(from what I got out of it).Look at the link.

Locking bootloader after install?

Hey I'm new to the forum and new to the Android development world.

No, I'm not a total noob when it comes to technology just want to get in on the discussion.

Two questions for everyone.

1) Anyone locking the bootloader back up after installing Android L?

2) Does MMS work for anyone? I have the Nexus 5 on Sprint and I do not receive the MMS replies until 15-25 minutes later in the form of "message not downloaded......click to download" and it never seems to download.

I know this is a developer preview but so far so good!
[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
1. wait we suppose to lock the bootloader lol, ever since i unlocked it i never locked it back up :P

2. i have tmobile and i been sending myself MMS to see if it would work, it would be in sending mode for quite sometimes then it would send but i never get a text back from myself until a couple minutes later (say 10 minutes late)
[Nexus 5 General] Gormandy:
What prevents you from reverting to 4.4.4? Get the image here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions and follow the instructions. I'm having trouble getting L working, but I've been able to restore to 4.4.4 this way.

When I try to use flash-all.bat I get a fastboot not recognizd error. And if I try to see fastboot devices, I get the same error. It worked just fine to flash the L image, but now doesn't work to flash back to the 4.4.4 image
[Nexus 5 General] cerebeln:
Seems no signs of a dedicated control center of Universal Data Controls aka App Ops in the past(4.3/4.4)

[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
"L" is just "L", Google didn't say anything about version number yet. It literally is just "L" right now.

I used Busybox on Rails and it has an option where you can install through recovery.

Why lock the bootloader? I unlocked mine the day I opened the box and never looked back. It just makes flashing stuff later on more complicated for yourself.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Mine seems to work. I haven't tried connecting anything but it turns on.
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Wi-Fi is definitely wonky. I was trying to save some music to my phone via Play Music while connected to my Wi-Fi, and it wouldn't start downloading anything. Once I unchecked "only download on Wi-Fi" it started right away. So the phone somehow doesn't know it's connected to Wi-Fi even though it is.

Yes, and they also said that those settings, if implemented by the app, will show up in the system settings. So you will be able to control it all from one settings screen, even though it's decided on an app-by-app basis. I believe that screen already exists in the notification settings, but right now all you can do is set notifications on or off for each installed app. In the future, when apps implement these controls, we should be able to control it all from that screen.
[Nexus 5 General] wotandsdwys:
Messed around with other commands too such as OEM and it gave the same error.

Never mind. Complete user error. When deleting the L files from my platform tools folder, I accidentally deleted the fastboot file. Doh!
[Nexus 5 General] Ryyuu:
Yeah, it turns on. But can't get a PC to successfully connect to it.

[Nexus 5 General] Orbiting234:
Same issue here. I can send MMS pics just fine and can verify that they arrived OK, but receiving them is a long delay like that and even then just that same not downloaded message. People don't send me pics super often (maybe once a week) but kind of annoying nonetheless.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Well sending just works for me. Whenever I receive a MMS it comes in gmail, that's from every carrier.
