[Nexus 5 Android Development] jackie_jagger:
So I flashed the preview over the weekend, looks great, feels great. Of course certain things feel incomplete but that is expected. I was surprised it was that fast and stable. The only issues I had was with 3rd party apps and root apps not performing as expected (flashify, etc. ) I have to say that Android L has gotten me excited about Android all over again just like ICS has few years ago. I can't wait to see what the completed product is because, remember, it will be more optimized by the time of release and more material design apps.

I did revert back to 4.4.4 (my backup) but I am seriously contemplating jumping back to Android L. I will miss Xposed and Viper4Android but the speed and animations are just a delight.

How are the wakelocks, I did notice my phone go into deep sleep really well. Does the NLPWakelock still plague the phone? I currently have wakelock terminator to deal with that but won't have it on L since Xposed doesn't work. YET.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sam.balia1012:
What update?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dungeon47:
I think once Xposed works on L, loads of people will jump ship for it. Stock+Xposed is near enough to most ROMs out there to justify a switch.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
A lack of answer with this type of question generally implies that no, no one else is having the same issue...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aoaleman:
Have you tried Force Stop > Clear Data and/or Clear Cache for the Maps app?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jackie_jagger:
Exactly. Any comments on the wakelocks?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Or that someone just missed it.

But thanks for the qualified answer!

Yep! That's the strange on this.

Deleted data

Uninstalled update

Completely deleting from /system/app

Nothing helped.

But thanks for ideas anyway.

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aoaleman:
Wow, that's odd. Maybe something with your Google account and Maps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Hmm. But even after an uninstall or deleting data, I first have to accept all terms and have to say which account etc...

But even there the FC appears. So I wouldn't say it's related to it.

Last time I had this on 4.4.4 the first time it worked, was after a wipe for something different.

But it makes no sense to (full)wipe just for maps.

Really getting crazy....

Anyway I don't want to become off-topic with this. Thanks, mate!

CHEERS ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aoaleman:
Maybe a related app is interfering. Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Perhaps a bad flash/zip install is causing glitch in in the location stack... Any issues with other map/location apps?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chuckdez:
Did you delete /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Ah there the data path is. I always was searching in /system path anywhere ?

Tried but anyway FCs.

Thanks anyway, buddy.

PS: I'll search for another way, please back on topic now ;)

CHEERS!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Well, as a last resort, I suggest, copy the data you want to keep off device, use the original flash-all script from Google to install L (after verifying the checksums) , then copy your data back to the device..

That should provide you with a pristine, non-glitching (As far as non-glitching as alpha class software can be) install for you to test with.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TemplesOfSyrinx:
I verified these exact settings and still would not be able to send or receive MMS group messages. As soon as I turned off WIFI, they would send. Unfortunately for me, non reliable MMS group messages is not an option. It's too bad, I really loved the new preview. Back to SlimKat for me right now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I'm curious, were you expecting a problem free experience on L? Or did you flash it knowing that there would possibly be some serious issue especially with the base rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TemplesOfSyrinx:
No, I wasn't expecting problem free at all. Actually, I was shocked by how much worked and how it worked so well! Honestly, if there is a solution to the group MMS issues I will be back immediately. The new Android L is a beast!

Thanks to vomer for the flashable rom.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bradhoschar:
Guys, after following Vomer's install, I am stumped.

do NOT have any notification sounds.

Formatted everything, wiped everything, sideloaded the L, flashed the L in recovery, still no sound.

Don't know what I did different from last week. The error reports have NOONE reporting loss of notification sound.

Any ideas?

Thanks all!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KashMiester:
I must be one of the lucky ones according to all the posts so far, I've had a problem free experience with this ROM, loving the developers Android L version.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Reflash via Google flash-all utility included in their distribution tar

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

It will be, and I'm glad to see you didn't expect a finished product... I'd recommend if you want to keep playing with it to download the android sdk and emulator from Google to play on your pc...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bradhoschar:
Thanks man. Did that since noon today, so for the last 5 hours. I thought it was a problem with the download, so I re-downloaded the system image. 2 times. Stumped.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Did you verify checksums?

Extracting the image files and flashing via recovery, or using the flash-all script root through fastboot?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bradhoschar:
Yup and yup. Tried just flashing the .zip from Vomer, and ran the flash-all.bat.

Same story

:(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Don't know what to say then, other than its a dev prev and hope the final actual release will work properly..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
Ha! Going Back to L, I started missing it!

thanks again
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chris0160:
Thank you for bringing this so far its been great. Yea I know its not supposed to be a daily driver but I've only had a few issues with it so far its been amazing. I can't wait for the finished version. Dropbox doesn't want to play nice with this for some reason.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] snappycg1996:
Before I jump ship and flash this, I just want to make sure I don't mess something up.

I would flash this like a normal custom ROM right? Just make update.zip in recovery for my apps and data? Is there any chance of having my internal storage erased? That's my BIGGEST concern by far lol is that why I unmount system before I flash?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bradhoschar:
Also, probably along the same lines as notifications........

Speaker phone works great! but as soon as I take it off speaker, no sound.

Not sure what I did from last week to today.

Oh well....

[Nexus 5 Android Development] markwebb:
First of all thank you very much for this ROM! Secondly, believe it or not, this has been my daily driver. Despite the few glitches and some apps not working, the majority of this works well for me and I can use it. This phone literally flies.

My Nexus is a secondary phone so I am able to get away with something's not working 100 percent . Looking forward to the eventual full official release.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
And mms works for you with those apn settings. Not hangouts to hangouts sending regular mms to a number. I have the same apn settings n no luck at all. I think you are the only tmobile customer that has android l with working mms on hangouts
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JediBrooker:
does anyone know if the auto unlock feature after entering the correct pin feature will be added?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GYGZACH:
For what its worth, MMS seems to work fine with HelloSMS, but only Hello. So if you want to use MMS, try Hello.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jaron7_11:
I'm on T-Mobile and MMS works sometimes with hangout
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kopower:
Same here. Seems like I receive every other mms.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jaron7_11:
I know.. And I can't receive any MMS and hellosms does not work for me
[Nexus 5 Android Development] J_Whit85:
Go into APN settings and change the APN protocol to both IVP4 and IVP6. That worked for me

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jaron7_11:
Man.. Still can't get it to work
[Nexus 5 Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
Same here. Using hello sms till its fixed. Really hope google realeses another preview fixing mms.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

If you set it to ipv4 on apn protocal mms should work on hello sms.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] galakanokis:
Follow the instructions in the OP but I would pull a copy of your data onto a pc for sure. At the very least have a copy of a nandroid handy. I've flashed this twice, first time zero issues was all good. The second time, following the same steps I had the SD card issue and when I tried to move data I lost everything. It was strange as I followed the same steps as the first time and it's not like I'm new to rom flashing. I'll say 90%of the time things are hunky dory but it never hurts to cover your ass.

I want to try again with CWM as I'm leaning towards TWRP being the issue with the data.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] knG333:
I can confirm this on Sprint. I installed HelloSMS and I can now send and receive MMS on LTE. Unfortunately since restoring this L backup, I cannot turn wifi on. It just sits at "turning on" so I can't test MMS sending and receiving when wifi is connected.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Keeps happening to me. I'm running L as a secondary rom.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
This is exactly what happen to me , but I didn't move my info in to a PC since the first time nothing happen,, I can still see all my folders under a new 0 file, I don't have any kikat ROMs all I have is my TWR back ups , can't download anything because it says no SD card not sure how to get back to KitKat so I can get all my folders. I really don't want to loose them ...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] galakanokis:
Unfortunately I don't have much advice, I did have everything backed up on my pc so I was lucky. I tried to copy my TWRP backup from the zero folder to the new path but the flashed failed in recovery. I then tried to copy files from within recovery and that's where I lost data. It looked like it worked but when I booted back into the rom no files were in the new folder and the old folder was empty.

Maybe see if you can do an adb pull of the data you need?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Did a full reinstall again. Hellosms working fine on LTE, using the browser for facebook, endomondo surprisingly works, mileage log works. The only thing not working for me is the magic jack app. This IS daily driver material for me. I'm yet to have anything show up that's a deal breaker. Freaking awesome ROM! Thanks dude!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skw5115:
Yes regular MMS sending and receiving both work for me
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
I was able to pull files to my PC. Doing a fresh stock flash now, staying KitKat for now :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] icanbeatali:
I too am having call waiting issues. I can't speak for anyone else, but mine isn't due to a network issue. I hear the "beep" but I have no ability to switch over to the new call. There is literally zero notification on the phone... including any missed call notification after I end my current call.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] galakanokis:
Good stuff man. L was great I just missed the little things that xposed offers.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] devilsadidas:
For me using hellosms MMS is fine when not on WiFi if normal settings but if u check the use data option it only works on wifi
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mikeonic:
I cant fix the SD card problem for the life of me
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Even with wiping it clean do you mean?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] G-Bus:
A lot of people are having issue here however for other reading just want to say that mines working flawlessly. I did exactly what OP said for install and everythings good.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] playahate:
some thoughts about the L.

Flashed it with the multirom. changed the update-binary in supersu-2.0.zip as chainfire tweeted.

Though the root is not yet for every apps - LOVE THE NEW ANDROID.

AdAway is working, busybox pro installed properly (now updated). Many apps that require root reboots the phone on superuser request with optimizing apps, but i'm patient. will wait when they eill be updated.

restored the Tasker profiles with Helium.

There was a problem: mobile data not working when the wi-fi is ON but not connected to any network.

Found out that the modem is still 1.16 though the zip contains new one.

flashed the radio to the new 2.08 - everything is working fine.

Will keep it for everyday use.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Vomer, maybe this would be useful for the OP for people who are having problems trying to restore -

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
To do what? Work on L or get back to 4.4?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CdTDroiD:
Guys if you want to fix the SD Card problem download the original Android L images and run the flash.all.bat

Then flash TWRP again and you will be fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
I was able to side flash a KitKat ROM and now I can see the SD card under the new folder 0, still can't see my back ups. I believe I read earlier to copy the whole 0 file to SD card and that should work, I might have to try that. I tried renaming it but it would not let me.

So weird cause the first time I flash L it went flawless.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] impulse101:
Yes I see all my files using ES Explorer. Can someone answer this for me about MultiRom? If I wanted can I delete my internal 4.4.4 ROM and make L my main internal ROM if I wanted to free up space?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Yup see here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53792997
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Can you elaborate on how to "run flash.all.bat?"
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CdTDroiD:
Download the .zip package with all the files in it and unzip it. You will see a for called runall.bat just run it once in fast boot
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Download the image file from Google, ensure that fastboot/adb is properly setup on your pc, boot your device into the bootloader, and after untaring the Google image file and changing into the resulting directory, there is a script call flash-all.bat to be run through Windows. (flash-all.sh for linux/Mac users)

In my opinion, this is the only way stock images (either full release or developer preview) should be installed to the device.. The flash-all scripts do wipe your data though, so ensure you copy off any and all data you want to keep
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
Thanks for your help. Got a couple questions, pm you so I don't clutter this thread more. Thanks again
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pikachukaki:
running on 1.19max is the thermal or the stock kernel is messed up???
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Unless Google has changed the way the kernel deals with freq scaling, you're thermal throttled.

Stock kernel likes to sit in the higher frequency ranges, triggering throttling fairly quickly....

[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
A lot of people are having this issue,Im sure you cant see your storage correct? its under a new file named 0. Happend to me as well,

read a few pages back hope the info they provided me helps you out as well,
[Nexus 5 Android Development] markwebb:
Yes that is what I did.

However didn't I read in another thread you can alter the command so that it doesn't wipe data?

I also moved the 0 folder as indicated in this thread so all files can be found and read especially backups.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
You're a boss. Thanks for the detailed description. I'm still a bit confused as to where to run it. Do I place the flash-all.bat in the sdk platform tools folder and type run flash-bat.all in the terminal?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pikachukaki:
This is a pretty stupid question but did 4.4.4 kernels work with L?? :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] darksidegi:
Guys, how it works on daily use? Any lag, battery drain, reboot...etc?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hebjes:
I can see storage info but nothing more no take pics or screen captures or download something in web. I can download apps from PS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes :p

Yes, you can alter the script to avoid wiping your data... but running the script as is will fix any issues you've had with the initial flashing.. (and google has it wipe the system for a reason)

if your adb/fastboot config is done right, you run it where it sits, don't move it... if you have any errors, then you mat need to add where your fastboot and adb commands are to your executable path (not sure how this is done in windows)

No

L is not recommended for daily driver status yet, (as per google) as it is a preview and not complete

That being said (and it had to be said... frequently here) there are those who have been using L as their daily driver (if on a secondary phone) and having great luck with it. Be aware that MMS doesn't seem to be working for most (I can send, but not receive, other's can't do either)

Battery life seems greatly improved over 4.4, will probably only get better once third party kernel dev's are allowed into the game.. (source release)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
It's all under new file named 0

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. At this point I'm feeling frustrated for unknown reason I haven't a backup I always do it but I don't know what I did wrong. So I don't know what to do guys.

What he's saying is that in the system under storage you'll see a file path /0 - that's where the data has been relocated.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
ooh, now you're playing with power (gentoo linux user here)

let me know if you need any help setting up the development environment for android (or just adb/fastboot) I'll point you in the right direction

the flash-all.bat/flash-all.sh scripts (as shipped) wipe the sdcard and rebuild/reinstall a pristine version of the android version shipped with...

which is why we've also been recommending that they copy all the data they want to keep OFF the device. I know many people love it, (and it's fairly stable dependable) <WARNING, PERSONAL OPINION>but I personally see multirom as a bit of an abomination... :p I'm not saying they can't use multirom, I'm not saying they shouldn't use multirom... I just view multirom the same way I view MS windows, it has it's uses, it has it's place, BUT, that place is not on any of my devices. :p </WARNING< PERSONAL OPINION>

If you want to play around with L, but don't want to lose your current android system, google does have an emulator available to run L on your pc.. I know you won't be able to test everything, I know it's not the same, but... it is a viable option for development testing (which, by the way, is what this preview was originally specified to be used for... :p )

tl:dr Yes, it will mess up multirom, it will wipe everything from their phone and install ONLY L
[Nexus 5 Android Development] whisper13:
Had this problem too, [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] gave the fix for the 0 storage

Flash a new ROM with root of course, use Root Explorer or Browser to Manually Transfer all your Folders you need in 0 to the root of your SD card then delete the 0 folder :)

First fix i made was to flash factory images
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
100% completely understand what you are saying and I understand your opinion as I have been reading this thread for a long time. Just wasn't sure the people that were reading the advice understood what was going to happen to their device by following the advice, that they were going to lose MultiRom...etc. etc. We are good :D

I use MultiRom... I see only part of my SD card when I am on Android L, but when I go back to Purity, I get all my SD card. I understand the implications, but enjoy running Android L during the day.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hebjes:
Yes i see that.. Is this can fix it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ricola1989:
I think I saw in the furnace thread that it will boot with the latest version.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] J_Dutch:
Well I'm running it as a daily driver for a few days now and I'm not looking at 4.4 anymore but it really depends on your type of use. There is no lag, performance is better then 4.4 on dalvik. It has the same bugs of incompatibility like on 4.4 with ART. Some apps are just not working. Battery life is definitely better then 4.4 for me, Android system and play services are not draining anymore. Reboots I did not have at all.

I'm using multirom and this as second rom, not having SD card issues whatsoever.

The UI is amazing and I think I now understand android silver. There is no use of using HTC sense, Touchwizz or any skin at all.[emoji1]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pikachukaki:
Only boot or working too??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ricola1989:
Not sure. Read it in thread, flash and verify ;)
