I went back to my Nanroid backup of my 4.4.4 and now im having issues where my MMS only works sometimes. Sometimes i turn my phone on and all my exsiting MMS show a "Can not display image with a little X'" This is an issue i had with my 1st Nexus which is why i had to warranty it out.

I cleared the Cache of the system hopefully that helps so far 4 reboots and MMS is still working.

Fine if you don't flash the ****ty new radio..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] enaybee:
First of all many thanks to Vomer for all his effort he did yesterday. Dude you rock !!! and the first to deliver. Props to you.

So I was able to get the downloads last night and at first had a failed message during ROM flash. However, second try went fine and it was rather quicker than the first try.

For those still having trouble, these were my steps for successful flash, nothing different for other people but still if it helps:

1. Flash TWRP 2.7.1.1. I downloaded and flashed directly through "Flashify".

2. Rebooted into TWRP

3. Wiped Sytem, Data, Cache and Dalvik

4. Clicked Mount and unmounted "System". (I read somewhere in these forums that its a bug in TWRP that it doesn't unmount "System" partition after a wipe. So you have to do it manually).

5. Flash ROM

6. Flash SuperSU2.0

7. Flash Rooted Kernel

8. Reboot.

It took quite a long time (15+ mins) to boot the first time but it did.

ROM is smooth and full of eye candy. However, since I still haven't figured out how to make Titanium Backup work along with the fact that Xposed hasn't been updated to work with ART this is not a daily driver for me .

Its time to bid goodbye to "L" version and back to 4.4.3.

It was fun while it lasted. Once again, thanks [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] and others for all your hard work.

I'm talking Nexus 5 T-Mobile, Nexus 7/Sprint is possibly different.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lento10:
Ofcourse its because you are on Sprint.

Sprint CDMA, the other phones are GSM.

Both are very different.

A CDMA phone is always going to have promblems with the connection.

Thats why alot of Sprint users have move to Tmobile.

I had it on 4.4.4 before installing android L and now it's gone again. So it can't be server side if it already worked for me before.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mi|enko:
You do realize this is a new OS right? New APIs and API level, not to mention the device is now running ART by default. Root or not, you're going to have problems with apps. This is a developer preview. No dev in his right mind would consider this to be 100% final/feature complete code. Additionally, most devs usually update their applications within 1-2 weeks after a major OS drop. . . but that's with a Final OS drop. Who knows when they'll push updates to the masses that support L.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
I have been following this since last night and its ridicules how many people have the same questions, a quick suggestion,

you think you can add to the OP that TiBu and other Root apps are not working and since L is only running ART that Xposed will not Work?

perhaps provide the link to the NONWORKING apps?

And it can take up to 10-15 to flash as well as first boot?

That might slow the thread down.:confused:

Thanks again for all THE HARD WORK and ALL YOUR TIME !!

Really glad you guys haven't gone crazy with all the repeated questions.:D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] galakanokis:
Very cool, thanks [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] for getting everything out there and organized. Followed the instructions in the op (crazy I know) and everything went swimmingly. Everything works except the known issue with certain root apps. ROM works really well for a preview version. I think developers are going to have fun with this new version, the base is very cool.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Smallsmx3:
So it seems that Google is ditching lock screen widgets?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gravewormx:
I had ask if any one tried Rom toolbox a few pages back before i flashed the rom. And now I can confirm that no it's not working to restore apps. haven't tried the other features...

In case you want to test your luck restoring apps it'll send you into a boot loop but don't panic just go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

am i wrong to assume that same bootloop is happening with titanium backup?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g01851:
Yay... downloaded all files, backed up my current build, flashed L... flash failed, and restore fails also!

Lesson learned: never download flash.zip files on phone... always download on computer then copy to phone. Will have to fix this mess when I get home.

FIXED: not sure what I did, but was able to get it to install ... went into 'mount' settings and made sure to NOT mount system... seemed to fix, even though I'd gone that route previously.

Not that I really used them much. But it was such a newer featurei like the new lock screen. Is simple and useful
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sgill74:
I just restored 4.4.4 I just wiped the same as op said, and it's fine
[Nexus 5 Android Development] g2uzer:
That's why I said,"other rooted apps", meaning some rooted apps not "all rooted apps" ..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gravewormx:
I downloaded the zip on the phone too, follow instructions and first time i tried flashing it failed. so I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik again. made sure system was unmounted and it flashed fine
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Make a nandroid backup and save it to ur PC,too,to be sure.

The follow guide to flash and when u want to go back, just do a fullwipe and restore the nandroid.

Nothing more needed.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] enaybee:
I hope you have figured it out by now but if you still haven't. On the main screen of TWRP there is an option that reads "Mount", click on it and then deselect the checkbox next to "System" and that's it. See attached. I used what I found on Google to just give you an idea. You menus might appear differently but the routine is same. I personally use a skinned TWRP so didn't want to use that as an example.

Ok i found a long complicated way to restore app data using rom toolbox and root explorer.

I recommend only doing it for the apps who's data you really need to restore.

others just redownload them from the play store and hopefully they sync like pocket, feedly, etc

this example is for Pocket Casts.

1) I backed up all my apps and data before flashing L preview.

Now my apps and data are store in /sdcard/app_manager/app_backups

- there's 3 folders app_data, system_apps, and user_apps.

2) I install the Pocket Casts apk located in /sdcard/app_manager/app_backups/user_apps

3) with root explorer i extracted the app data zip located in /sdcard/app_manager/app_backups/app_data

- data will have the apks name! example Pocket Cast is au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts

- Some zips will have two folders data and storage

- data folder will go into the root /data/data folder

- storage will go into the root /sdcard/android/data folder

4) with root explorer navigate into the extrated files first going into the data folder then again into the data folder until you find a folder name the same as the apk folder in this case au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts

- select and copy that folder and paste it into the /data/data folder located in the root directory if it ask to overwrite it, do it

- Now navigate the extracted storage folder and find a folder by the same name au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts now select and copy it. Navigate to /sdcard/android/data and paste it. if it ask to overwrite it, do it.

5) run the app and data should be restore

EDIT!!! after a few reboot the apps uninstall from my device :/

When flashing a ROM it's always dangerous to flash other zips with it in my opinion. I've honestly never had success with it. I always always flash the ROM alone and then let it boot before I go back into recovery to flash anything else.

Particularly with a new release like this it's just easier to diagnose any issues you have along the way if you flash things one at a time with a reboot in between.
