Fastbooting stock Android L recovery seemed to fix me up. Weird.

Don't make backups! Lol. Unless I didn't do something right. I didn't enter any commands via terminal for full system write. Just fastbooted TWRP then installed Chainfire's SuperSU version 2. If someone knows a better way let me know.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
There is no bootloader update I think, the it's both hz11k.
[Nexus 5 General] phishfi:
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of a way to install Voice+ without xposed, since xposed won't work under the ART runtime? That's probably the only thing I want added to the "L" preview. Love the look/feel/transitions/peppiness(probably more because I've done a clean install than actually being faster, but you know how it is...)

Huge battery drain

My battery life is atrocious thanks to this miscellaneous thing.... Any ideas? Are others seeing this? Causing huge battery drain.
[Nexus 5 General] Linch89:
Its a power booster! PBT!

Does anybody know a way to restore apps with their data? The flashable zip of Tiba online restores the apps alone.
[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
what happens if you click on it?

my battery stats don't have a misc category...
[Nexus 5 General] phishfi:
Works fine and seems to push my number without any issues. I just can't figure out if there's a way to get Voice+ back =(
[Nexus 5 General] pathtologos:
Hey everyone. Just wondering, has anyone successfully backed up their Android L using twrp, booted into another backup, then restored android L? Does it work? I really like L but I NEED my tethering, which I have working on another ROM (a backup). So I wanna backup L, boot into my other ROM, then when I'm done, restore L.

Will it work?
[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:
Which version did you use?
[Nexus 5 General] DanielMod:
Just noticed two option not seen before in developer settings,one is Use NU player (experimental) and the second one is low power mod which is probably the same option as in battery setting.

Some tried these two?
[Nexus 5 General] SilentGaia:
Having the same problem as well. I haven't installed anything new on my phone either.
[Nexus 5 General] dmillerzx:
Doesn't say much :(
[Nexus 5 General] RayLovesick:
I was getting the same thing. Turning off location seems to help ease the battery loss.
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
Have you tried downloading GSAM? Maybe that can provide with additional info.
[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
interesting, although, your battery life doesn't seem horrible for having used gps. ~50% in ~6hrs seems alright in my book...

what's your SoT?
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Battery life is awesome for me

Close to get 7 hours SOT
[Nexus 5 General] SilentGaia:
I have the same thing but location is off for me and my miscellaneous percentage is at 25% for my battery being at 58%. Wifi and data didn't affect it either.
[Nexus 5 General] dmillerzx:
About 55 minutes. I've installed GSam with the root module as others recommend and will continue to monitor.
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Yeah, MMS doesn't seem to work for me if I'm on Wi-Fi. Can't send, just fails. If I go off Wi-Fi it sends right away. This is from Hangouts. My carrier is 3 (Sweden), if that's of any interest.
[Nexus 5 General] rednit:
how is your battery drain with this rom ? mine is terrible
[Nexus 5 General] Brac20:
I had large battery drain from miscellaneous sources. Also Chrome was draining a hell of a lot of battery.

Seems like I can only send MMS when not on Wi-Fi, and I can't receive them at all. Was this confirmed to be an issue with Hangouts?
[Nexus 5 General] philipped346:
What is your batterie drain ?:eek:
[Nexus 5 General] tomh1979:
i've noticed i can send mms, but not receive on wifi or lte, no biggie for me though, i'm sure it'll be fixed eventually.
[Nexus 5 General] DonSolo:
How the heck did you get your battery screen to look like that? Or am I using a different preview? lol
[Nexus 5 General] tomh1979:
mine is actually doing better thus far, days left will eventually be right though, went from 9 day to now 3 days, lol, i know that won't be realistic, but i would love to get 3 days on a charge, lol.:laugh:

Is possible to switch from ART to DELVIK so can use xposed?

Great battery life here! Lost 2% over 6 hours sleep with WiFi and 3g on. Set for about 6 hours SOT.

I turn off google now, location , all syncs. Minimum brightness with Adaptive Brightness on.

I saw that last night as well. I forgot to mention that today. I have no idea what that means. Maybe it means, when clicked, it will only activate if you are in the Wallet app and not in any other app?

i wonder if we can root after flashing install
[Nexus 5 General] zequav:
With a bit of luck it's as stable as the usual .0 versions.
[Nexus 5 General] Jimlarck:
No.

but don't let that stop you it shouldn't be long before a flashable zip comes out. Even though there seems to be a lot of "Devs"(sarcasm on the devs part) here who think the L preview shouldn't be a flashable zip.

[Nexus 5 General] billyx1:
Oh, I missed that there is no tutorial for fastboot in the net. And it is really difficult to find out there are instructions how to install it on the same site the image is for download. Do you think someone who is not able to find or use these instructions is a good tester?
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
I'm dying to try this, but since I need my phone to, you know, actually work, I'd like to hear about such things as what DOESN'T work in the new preview?

Also, for those who have done previous previews, what is the upgrade process? Does Google release preview OTA upgrades? If not actually OTA, do they at least release upgrades that can be side-loaded without wiping everything every time?

I'm totally not interested in hearing about how smooth the graphics are, or how this or that feature is awesome. I'm really more interested in hearing the downsides. I mean, I don't expect perfection out of a preview, but there is a difference between "Flappy Bird won't run" and "Phone reboots every 3.5 seconds."
[Nexus 5 General] thesteef66:
first boot gave me almost no wifi signal. everything was fine after reboot.

I have flashed the new radio, bootloader, boot, cache and system image files.

Now I am rebooting but it got stuck at the Google logo.

How long am I supposed to wait?
[Nexus 5 General] krolla03:
Thats really cool i like it alot
[Nexus 5 General] GldRush98:
Yeah, I think it is doing the ART compile in the background. It'll take a while probably. 10+ minutes I'm guessing.
[Nexus 5 General] Kayen:
ART is the new default runtime in Android now. There is no more Dalvik in L.

If you meant wait as in when Rovo gets Xposed re-written for ART then yes, it is better to just wait.
[Nexus 5 General] DonSolo:
Like this lol
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Well we arent psychics, but in time, I'm sure devs will figure something out. It's just a matter of them looking into. And we need to give them time.
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
That's the same screen, only yours is working properly while their are bugged (showing an empty graph). Mine was too, until I fully charged my phone. Then it came back to life.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I dont see the difference other than the graph. lol. By the way, I see everyone is having issues with that Miscellaneous thing in battery settings. I havent seen that. Maybe its some random app you all have installed that I dont.

Don't use L if you have "sensitive data". It seems to be ignoring .nomedia files.

[Nexus 5 General] synthiis:
I've had absolutely no issues as of now. Additionally, I've managed to flash everything but userdata.img and keep my buttons active and sdcard accessible. Battery drain is the usual I guess, no FCs on many of all of my apps, maybe except settings.apk. don't use MMS so I don't really care about that. Rooted with the mentioned boot.img.

As of today, I'll keep it as a DD until something terrible break.
[Nexus 5 General] armandohg:
Try updating your "fastboot" file.. you can download the latest version from think link: http : // developer . android . com/sdk/index.html

Just go to the bottom and open the "VIEW ALL DOWNLOADS AND SIZES".. that's how I got my Nexus 5 to pass the Google logo screen
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
That's not mine, you were talking to someone else. But yeah, I saw that now. There are two image attachments in that post. The first is that one (and yeah, I don't know what that is), while the second is the battery screen from L.
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
That's a 3rd party app. It's Battery Widget I think.
[Nexus 5 General] szucsgf:
Oh wow battery saver mode changes max CPU frequency to 729, removes all vibration, dims the screen, and removes transition animations. 729 is a bit excessive no? No wonder the phone lags like crazy on battery saver. Immediately changed the "Turn on automatically" setting to "Never".

[Nexus 5 General] the Doctor:
Does anyone have any idea why, after flashing Android L, my computer can't recognize the device in fastboot mode? It can recognize it fine in Android, and with 4.4.x my computer recognized the device both in Android and fastboot mode. I've reinstalled the USB drivers, but no change. I've tried revoking USB debugging authorizations and reconnecting/authorizing, but no change. I've updated SDK tools through SDK manager but no change.

Also, is it safe to flash a recovery from Android since my PC recognizes it there?
[Nexus 5 General] aSquard:

My only gripe with the Preview is that it a couple more steps to get to battery stats. There is room for it in the top row next to wifi in the quick settings. I hope they can throw that in there for the final release.
[Nexus 5 General] SilentGaia:
I hope they can throw it in along with the battery percentage. I feel that that is one of the big flaws in the current design.

This has been one of the most interesting threads I've seen in some time, very entertaining. My favorite part is the people who effectively dirty flashed this preview. I haven't had any serious problems yet. Battery and text works fine for me. One thing I did notice is that often times while multitasking apps will refresh and reload more aggressively than with kit Kat. Not a huge deal but its very noticeable.

Going through all the posts seeing the most annoying questions asked over and over. "How to root?", " x app doesn't work", " the gapps don't have the updated design", "SD card doesn't work" " dirty flashed and now x doesn't work", etc etc. Seriously. !!!! Its a "developer PREVIEW".

[Nexus 5 General] StrizzMatik:
Flashed everything via fastboot, kept data intact, rooted with the modified boot.img + SuperSu 2.0. Not really having any problems that others are having, and battery life is pretty superb even with battery saver turned off. So far for a daily driver this is turning out very well for me. So basically, clean install all the way for anybody having issues.

Anyone have an issue with every other major browser crashing except for Chrome? I tried Boat, Dolphin, Opera, Firefox, and the AOSP one that comes with default PA. Every one crashes at different times. Dolphin and Firefox crash immediately - nothing opens. Boat and Opera try opening, then crash after a second or two with a blank screen. The AOSPA browser started prompting for weird permissions, I decline, then it acts like Dolphin and Firefox afterward. I used TiBu for that, so I'm just chalking that up to something weird. The others I got from Play.

I agree with a couple of you on here, the extra couple steps they added to get to battery stats is a PITA. I'm sure they'll add it back...right :silly:?
[Nexus 5 General] szucsgf:
This is normal thermal throttling. CPU lowers max frequency when it gets too hot. Real Racing 3 is a very resource intensive game. 1190 is the max frequency used when maximum thermal throttle is applied.

On a related note: I deleted the thermal-engine.conf file located in /etc and replaced it with the thermal-engine.conf from ElementalX. Seems to have worked; thermal throttle is much less aggressive.
