Factory images are generally available before the OTA starts rolling out.
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
It appears AOSP has been pushed, even device trees, and /build/

You can build factory images from that (minus GApps, which can be pulled from the nexus devices with Lollipop)

[Nexus 5 General] educk:
Well, I don't think are there any system dumps from official Lollipop builds yet. I mean, the ones which come from the Nexus 6 or the Nexus 9 not the dev preview.
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
The Nexus 4 port is based off the Nexus 6 system image

There have been enough in the wild to get system dumps from review units and test devices

As for the Master branch...I don't think its merged 5.0.0 yet...might be wrong
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
So I guess there just wont be any images for any devices? There wasn't even any OTA updates yesterday. Only Lollipop that was released was the Nexus 9 which is baked in.
[Nexus 5 General] Mextur:
Just like everyone said, its going to be a rollout to all, but starting on 11/3 it should begin. That doesn't mean you will get it today, it just means you're going to see movement.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
May be the 1% that receives it dont bother to spend time on xda :p hence no ota zip (even for n7 yet)
[Nexus 5 General] Schlurps:
What? You're not seriously saying that there are people getting it via OTA, but google doesn't bother to upload the freaking image, do you?
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
Besides the Nexus 9, lollipop just hasn't releases yet. That's what I'm thinking, or else there would be factory images.

Ugh.: (
[Nexus 5 General] ern88:
I would say you might see factory image maybe within 2 weeks. That might be the best. But later then that!!!
[Nexus 5 General] cmatuk:
I stand by my original thoght. We have final APIs. We even have the animation easter egg. I think its just a matter of wording and packaging. We might be running a GM version and they are pushing the material apps via the play store. Look at your preview. After theese few weeks it looks even more like the mock up images and even the released on Nexus 9. Which by the way differs from previous Nexus cos all Motorola inspired addings. Same for Nexus 6. If that is the case, again, i think we still are victims of the apple way of updating software with incredible fanfare. Then they have to release 3 almost back to back updates. And look at the adoption rate and overall isues with iOS 8. Thats becauae of meeting deadlines beats bug inspection.

Google released the L preview. A very rough version. And auddenly a very final looking one. Wallpapers and all. The Gapps? Thats why the playstore is for.
[Nexus 5 General] Koopa777:
Possible. The N7 2013 LTE didn't get a 4.3 image for over a month, despite literally launching on 4.3. That was Qualcomm being a legal ass, but still. AOSP push almost ALWAYS coincides with factory images, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, etc. I would be shocked if images weren't posted today, hell I was surprised that they weren't out last night. The code is 99% up, literally all Google has to do is package the binaries, Gapps, and post it.
[Nexus 5 General] Travelawyer:
This is the build info on Nexus 9:

I agree that the latest preview looks pretty final.

The final though has a different build number and more recent kernel update:

[Nexus 5 General] ReeSilva:
Guys, on Google HQ now is 8:25am. So, if they will release something today, maybe will be after 10am on Google HQ. Im very anxious too, but lets be patient
[Nexus 5 General] :
Imagination
[Nexus 5 General] Lape500:
I think I heard something exactly like that yesterday :p ......and if they won't release something today you will be here with same thoughts tomorrow. :D Right? Don't get it wrong i also want my hammerhead to be creamed with lollipop :P
[Nexus 5 General] cmatuk:
I agree. Semi noob question. Isn't that because the Nexus 9 is not running the exact same version as Nexus 5? For example the tap to wake up feature and such. That little differences may account for that difference.

Also I know there's still the Messaging app detail and a full material design makeover. Also removing the stock apps that came with the latest preview. But I reckoned yesterday that Google is aiming different for this release.

Despite its growth Android still lacks of quality consistency that iOS devices have. And now that full both companies are targeting the full ecosystem approach now more than ever Google needs to sustain an on par experience with third party apps. Even today iOS apps get better treats sooner than their android counterparts.

IOS has matched, kinda, the developer levels of access that matches androids. Now android has to push its looks and feels. And that's what lollipop is for. All the tech has been there. Now it looks great and in multiple iterations.

Also... Considering how many people owns a Nexus 5 just because "its a nice phone" versus the people who know just what the Nexus branding means might be small. So a looot of us are already running it. And the rest, well of they didn't bother to install the preview I'm sure they also weren't sleepless this morning.

I guess I'm not making much sense. And a bunch might be lost in poor translation.

In the end, Lollipop DID launch yesterday. If google wanted devs to be ready for that date its only because some people might have the Nexus 9 already. But if devs rollout updates, we would get them too. Even people on KitKat would get them too...

Add them to the "preview" and there you go. Now that gmail, music, earth and the rest have material icons it looks even more final.

And again. I know is apples and oranges. But 3 ....3!! "Final">GM releases for OS X and 3 subsequent iOS 8 releases after the big date. Google is smarter. Who would want that???????

Edit... Imagine the " torture" if you happened to have one of those horrendous Galaxy devices. Then again here we are blaming Google for insomnia and fighting like a bunch of football fans. Are we geeks or sports people?
[Nexus 5 General] mortenmhp:
Seriously why are you still discussing when it will be released? It may be today it may be in two weeks. Google never said they would release anything other than the nexus 9 on November 3rd everything else was rumor sites taking that date and extrapolating. Yet they did start the release on that day(started uploading source) and so far all they've stated is that it should be released in the next weeks so there are no reason to expect a factory image today anymore than in a week.

No matter how many times u read that. They never said that the N5 images or OTA will be available yesterday or today. All they say is the OTA to N7 and N10 on nov 3rd and N 5 in the coming weeks. Even if they release something will be after 10am there, so we Just can wait
[Nexus 5 General] Wrekk:
Preview => Final

Besides that it will go from Preview to Final.

Is it known what the difference will be?

Just more "Material" or do we know anything specific?

Like the Smart Lock feature, will it support WiFi as well? Stuff like that.

Why all this bla bla since yesterday fact its not out stop this headach
[Nexus 5 General] flex360:
http://bit.ly/Kz72Xn

that should give you all the answers
[Nexus 5 General] cmatuk:
That is my point. Since APIs are final all the tech portion of the update is done. Now its up for Developers to include them in their apps. The look and feel and overall experience "feels" final. Sure there are a couple of apps missing and some others must go (stock browser and maybe sadly even gallery). Its not the same process updating from the preview to final cos all the major changes are already done. The same can't be said for those making the jump from KitKat. They won't like having to wipe user data I figure. But we have.

So thats why I guess OTA lollipop will be the frame. And they will use the play store for much more controlled release a and of course positioning. That way you make a small enough OTA to fit in a lot of devices and then you just push updates via Play Store.

Imagine being able to update "only" Safari in iOS without having to drag a full system image. That's what Google's doing and makes sense cos Android is much much bigger in user base than Apple.
[Nexus 5 General] inferol:

I hope you're right, I'm starting to get nervous, all of this is very odd...

They should be. I mean it's totally understandable that they can't OTA it to everyone asap, but I don't really see any problem with uploading the image, so impatient people like us can flash it on their own...

Of course they did. They announced that Lollipop will roll out on November 3rd and confirmed it in their blogpost yesterday. You know, the one which shows like a million pictures of a Nexus 5 running it and not a single one of a Nexus 6 or 9...

Then don't read it. Or are you concerned about all the useless traffic we generate?
[Nexus 5 General] sky high:

[Nexus 5 General] Prom3theu5:
No sorry. But your wrong.

It did indeed start rolling out yesterday, as two devices are now in the wild running the latest iteration of Android, Lollipop.

In fact you can literally say they were "rolling out" down the street in delivery vans

Not once anywhere did they state that it would be for the current generation of devices, and even went as far as to say "in coming weeks" for a N5 over the air update.

People presume too much. And others are like sheep. Once a few go, the rest believe there is more to a statement then feel its a conspiracy when google don't deliver on something they never confirmed in the first place.

This is exactly why they don't give definitive dates.

[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Problem with that is the general public most likely has no idea there is a new update, probably never subs to android blogs or knows about google io. Google never publicly advertised anything so the only people who know (small percentage) are us and people who look for the info. They could care less in that case if they miss their deadline. Google doesn't sell products they sell software amongst other things. If you get mad and move into something else, you're still using their services one way or another. "Google search " anyone. .

What I'm confused about is why google have released the source code now, I understand not rolling out ota or that they want their flagship phone to have lollipop before the nexus 5 but why release source code so that in theory we could actually have a custom ROM before the final release of lollipop!

[Nexus 5 General] rtimoff:

[Nexus 5 General] Koopa777:
It's still possible. There was a Nexus 10 4.4 source build 3 weeks before the factory image was out, right after the Nexus 5 released. I am unaware as to the current state of the code, and if it definately can be built from, however.

What are you referring to? My statement about the blogpost? You don't think it would be much more appropriate to show pictures of a Nexus 6 or 9 running lollipop instead of Nexus 5, especially given that it's so clear that they only meant to say that those devices are being released? :rolleyes:

Definitely possible, again, the N10 did it for Kitkat. The preview-blobs are from October 27th. Those might work.

If not, the preview binaries might allow it to at least boot. Might not get 100% performance, but it should be close enough.
[Nexus 5 General] mortenmhp:
While the sources of ap is usually the most accurate we have apart from official announcements, they were obviously wrong, and you guys can hardly blame google for not holding up to something that someone told ap in secrecy.

It remains that google has promised nothing apart from the release of the nexus 9 on November 3rd. And as such there is no reason to expect images or an ota yesterday, today or tomorrow for that matter. It might as well be in two weeks since all they have said is the statement from yesterday that it will be released over the coming weeks.

[Nexus 5 General] cmatuk:
Its actually very funny cos we are speculating stuff just out of frustration and not based on any fact.

We all want new software..... and I keep saying we already have new software. OK, so it's not released in the usual expected way but we do have Android 5.0 running on our devices and nowhere does it says its a Preview anymore. Of course besides from the web page but it says FINAL preview... a.k.a. GM release. Regular users and consumers will make a huge jump from KitKat but most of us, the ones who are eagerly waiting for factory images are already running the Preview.... Google is doing its best to make this a good rolllout and one that reaches as many devices as posible. It might be the "same" Android version but we all know that there are tiny variations even within the Nexus line. They took care of N5 since the first L preview.. Nexus 4 didn't get any preview at all....... but we do have a working version on Nexus 5 with final APIs and my guess is that it is 98% of what we will see once the official rollout starts...... Obviously they still see the Nexus 5 as a main option since the bigger phone is both expensive and too big for a lot of users.

Think about it this way.... when the users update OTA from KitKat chances are they are already running "material" versions of the google apps. They got them via Play Store. So when you upgrade the OS and the apps start to update themselves you will have the complete package with the actual OS file being relatively small. If anyone here happens to have an iOS device you might know what its like to be asked to have at least 5 GB for updating and that prooved to be a nightmare for the guys at Cupertino.
