Note: Don't run the fastboot erase cache or else your device won't boot. That command will nuke the cache partition and I have to do

fastboot flash cache cache.img

to enable the cache partition and device boots fine afterwards.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shponglized:
Well, read any of this thread, and you'll be filled in

So instead of taking 5 seconds to answer, you wasted everyone's time by posting to tell him to search rather than simply not answering and letting him decide on his own to search rather than waiting. ;)

What led app was it that works again? Light manager?

Many of us are allergic to spoon-feeding
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
I am sorry i know this is off topic... When you know you are allergic to spoon-feeding don't start it simple... let them keep asking questions, it doesn't take time of yours to ignore does it?

Simple rule either is what we all were trying to say but it keeps budging out...Either you answer if you want to or don't. To an extend what Tzfardaya was right because he did guide them and there are multiple threads for which he could post here....

But answering one's question is painful/spoon feeding/ or whatever big thing you feel then don't :) let the one's who feels less pain do the answering..... asking any user to go through 100pages to find one answer isn't ideal if anyone else remembers the page where they had posted the answer or the post number. FYI the search does help but not so much like we can to each other :)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] chubutnet:
You know what? I can't figure it out how to read this battery usage app. Is too complicated, can't them change it back to the last one, it was lot better than this. I hate it :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
It shows how much battery each has used (as opposed to the ratio of how much battery each used, old way)

Battery level currently at 60%, then the totals of all battery drains will be (should be?) 40%
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
In the Android L Developers Preview thread, the same question was asked twice on the same page by different people, "can this be a daily driver?". The question had already been answered and then asked again.

People keep asking the same dumb questions so they can watch the community get annoyed with each other over answering it. If we just ignore the questions all together, maybe they will go away.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] stewartk:
So can this be used as a dd then. JOKE.

why don't ppl just try it . if u have made a backup its not a problem. I've used it from day one and not had a problem and will continue using it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
guess you never actually read the rules
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
I wasn't speaking literally. Try to stick with me here, I know it's an Android forum but I like to think some of us here aren't totally devoid of reading comprehension.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I was though... That was rule 1 that I posted... I'll track down the full rule list when I have more time...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Yes, I'm aware. Maybe I should have been more clear, I was using it more like a "Rules of Fight Club" deal because, yes, obviously rule 1 is to search first, but I would heavily argue that actually being helpful is more important than simply alerting people TO the rules.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Odd how in the post that set everyone else off, I made no mention of the rules, just informed the questioner that there were threads explicitly answering the type of questions he asked. Nothing more, it wasn't until the first detractor called me out on it that I made mention to rule 1...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sam razzy:
Whatever boss. I was just wanted you to help him and then tell him to search next time before posting any new query :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:

LOL okay aside from you not understanding what "allegory" means (hint: it's not a reference), what's this "boy" stuff?

Actually, I have a challenge for you: tell me what an allegory is and how it related to what I said and I will 100% apologize for the post.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] illr:
Or I have a challenge for both of you. Tell me how any of this is related to this development thread? I will still have 100% no f**ks given for your posts.

Aside... This thing I buttery smooth! Battery is pretty solid but colors are way off for me :/.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Haha, if people want to stomp their little feet and pound their little fingers on their keyboards and cry at me, let 'em. I was just making a comment about this XDA habit of yelling at people instead of helping. Nothing more, nothing less.

ANYWAY, I agree, this ROM is excellent, and I'd be using it as my daily driver if more apps were completely compatible. I think 5.0 is gonna be a revelation.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skw5115:
Try using the code blue kernel for this rom...it allows for color control
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
No, you can't have my name... It's mine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] moonrock:
I apologize if this has been asked before, I'm at home with twin babies all day and don't have time to search and destroy myself... ;)

Do I need to do any special steps to go from L to Cyanogenmod? I was previously stock and only unlocked to go to L, it's much too buggy for me as a daily driver being that I'm just not much into the "mess with phone all day long thing" (again: see above.) anymore so I'd prefer a stable CM instead.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
As always, I suggest a full, clean wipe/flash when changing ROMs, other than that, no... There are no special steps..

If you do a clean flash, make sure you copy everything you need/want to keep off your phone first.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] moonrock:
Will do. Thanks much for the quick (and helpful) reply. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] illr:
You are a saint!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
The point we are trying to make is the opposite from what you are saying. They should be searching first, then asking second. That would eliminate so many problems in the threads and redundancy.

If you look at their XDA Assist, the mission is simple. "The mission of XDA assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance." Even the mods are saying search first, ask second.

It's simple !
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Despite the rumors about me, I'm not a total jerk. I just have a low tolerance for laziness...

Raising a family trumps simple laziness any day. ;)

mind if I ask why you prefer cm to stock KK?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] moonrock:
Well, I haven't used CM on the N5 yet, but in the past I've always appreciated the additions to stock that CM has offered.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Ah, the reason why I asked is that if you use third party Kernels, (such as franciscofranco's) they may not work on cm... Depends if the developers want to support both a caf (cm) kernel and a aosp (stock) kernel.

Stock + xposed/gravity box seems to give most of the features found in custom ROMs like cm.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

I just read in another forum that the dev for "WiFi Tether Router" updated the app today and it now works with Android L. I haven't personally tried it, but two others have and had success. Just thought I would share.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Nope, you're active enough here to do your own searching... So the family can't be keeping you too busy.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1ManWolfePack:
This thread is 302 pages and it would be only 100 if people followed the rules.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] moonrock:
Ah, nothing but stock / L installed here so far, so shouldn't be any concern with things not being supported, not that I COULDNT install them, just.. Eh. I'm looking for stability with a little extra features at this point. I do like tinkering, I just only have so much time to myself these days. Wahh. Geeky mom problems.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
In that case I'd suggest sticking with stock KK 4.4.4, dalvik (for now, and for xposed compatibility) xposed, gravity box, and Franciscofranco kernel..

Stability of stock, features of custom ROMs, and the kernel tweaking /battery life of franciscofranco

I'm assuming you know where to grab Google install images for KK and have adb/fastboot setup on your computer already. The flash-all script included with the package is the best way to wipe and switch back to stock kk
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
No need to apologise to me for being a clown
[Nexus 5 Android Development] moonrock:
Hrm. Thanks for the advice.

And yes, I know how to do all that. : ) I just wanted to be sure the simple wipe/install image/adb/fastboot etc were all I needed to get back down to KK. Sometimes going up to something screws up the "going back down" and ehhh, I hadn't thought of all that nonsense (do we ever?) when I went to the L. Oops.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
As long as you're doing a full wipe (I really recommend the flash-all script when flashing stock, it wiped the device to pristine, fresh from the factory) you don't have to worry about any lingering issues from L... I've flashed back and forth a couple times now between 4.4.4 (stock) and L with no ill effects.

We are running nexus devices here, not iPhones, Google isn't apple and trying to dictate how we think (Think Different, just make sure you think the way we tell you) and as such doesn't feel the need to control which os versions are "allowed" on their devices... Flashing the stock images allows you to flip baseband, radios, os versions all you want (even mix and match if you like.

. There are a few people I know using 4.4.4 os, with the L radios for better reception)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
So I've just read like the last 30 comments on here and still unsure if this can be used as a daily driver?

???
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
Well many are using as a daily driver and many aren't depends on what does ur daily driver mean. So best I would suggest you to use as many days like the way u use current daily driver and decide. . . I do that normally that's why currently I am trying four different including the L. . .
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bojazz:

Must be cause it's preview, would be fixed in final release ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Berget:
i am using it as a daily driver, it works very stabil for me anyways, only problem for me is that wifi hotspot dont work
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dialmformostyn:
I've had this since the first day or two after it was released and have used it as a daily driver ever since. That's not to say it's perfect - battery life is noticeably worse for me than on custom 4.4+ ROMs I was using, some apps don't play nicely (Netflix, for instance, crashes when I try to cast to my TV). There were a few other apps that wigged out, but I just removed them I've quite enjoyed having a very slimmed down experience and realised I don't perhaps need what I thought I needed before. But it all depends and what you can live without.

That being said, I've started using MultiROM with L as the primary. I might make it secondary now I'm satisfied I've played with it thoroughly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tevil:
HMMMMM WAS JUST about to flash this since the extended battery is super tempting but the wifi hotspot is a HUGE deal as well.

Do any third party wifi hotspots work such as ES file explorer's?

Please if you get a chance to try let me know. Id like to try this SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! :victory:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dialmformostyn:
I think it's about time you just made a backup and flashed it to see whether or not it suits you.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheDudeAbides:
There's a fix for that in this thread. Just search for it. I'd find it for you, but I don't have time. Just checked in to see if Google pushed a new update.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tevil:
no biggy as long as there is one in the thread ill find it.

Appreciate the tip :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
In another thread, I read that "Wi-Fi tether router" was just updated by the Dev and a few people have said it works with L. I haven't tried it personally.

I actually use that to tether my GF most of the time since shes a dataless iphone user

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Berget:
i dont realy know a work around on the wifi hotspot. the "internal" function is broken, but maby a 3de party app can do the job.

Edit: some say that this app works for wifi hotspot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en

Ill try it all out and report back if anything works for me.

Im low on time today but Ill run a backup and try to install at some point.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kevin319:
Does anyone know why my battery chart and info doesn't show?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
was it on adapter when you took the snapshot? if yes unplug and see or else maybe a reboot which might refresh....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x10user2011:
Just before I try this bad boy, I want to make sure... We don't need to format the system/data (delete everything) right? I have read the instructions but I just want to double check before doing some experiment :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] y2whisper:
no you're gonna want to do that

From OP

Boot into recovery (TWRP/CWM)

- Un-mount /system in TWRP/CWM

**Wipe: system, data, dalvik and cache***

- Flash ROM (be patient - takes a while)

- Flash SuperSU (optional)

- Flash radio (optional)

- Reboot (first boot takes a while)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x10user2011:
Yes, but FORMAT data? Like it said it won't delete stuff on your SD card and that's what I'm double checking.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kevin319:
Hi sacredevil666. No the adapter wasn't connected and I tried rebooting and updating the kernel to the newest code blue.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
No it won't and you won't need to wipe your sd card unless there is an issue of not able to access/view your sd card....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Think perhaps the code blue kernel may be the culprit?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
Oh okies.. i am sorry i have no clue else what it could be... you might want to head to Android L Q&A and see if anyone had the same problem and probably a resolution...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x10user2011:
perfect, thanks for the help :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
I don't think so. Been running L and code blue with over 112 hours of uptime, no issues
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tevil:
Well Everything seems to work great.

Restored from google instead of TB just to be safe to get all the right versions of my apps.

WIFI Tethering seems to work fine honestly but we will see with more time.

New UI is pretty nice but mainly hoping to see some better battery life though I was already getting 15+ hours with mediocre use. Sine 4.4.2 though it slowly started getting worse. Used to get TWO days easy when I first got my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x10user2011:
kind of a dumb question but.. how do I unmount system? I'm using TWRP so when I go to the mount section, data and cache already marked with an X. System is not, so does that mean it is already un-mounted and I just leave it as that before I flash the preview?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GuestK00150:
yes, unmarked means unmounted in that case
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Okay, so what changed between when you last saw it working and when you first saw it wasn't?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Wasn't me, I was just responding to the guy who thought it was kernel related. I'm having zero issues with rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
When you wipe the system then it automatically becomes mounted. Then you need to unmount after wiping
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pmbabu:
After wipe, just reboot back to recovery. Reboot -> Recovery. And flash away for good.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kevin319:
Hi Tzfardaya. The battery stats were already missing after flashing Android L before flashing the blue code kernel. After a few hours of use, I decided to flash the blue code kernel to see if it will fix the battery stats but I guess it didn't.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pmbabu:
Happened to me earlier, never found the cause. It doesn't occur anymore but I have switched to Code Blue kernel now so don't know if that made the difference.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tevil:
Well a couple of my fav apps, Dolphin Browser, titanium and Quickboot dont work.

One question though. This rom is rooted, and super user does ask for permissions but Titanium says the Rom does not have root.

Is this simply because TB is not compatible yet (of course) or because root functionality is not 100% in the image? Button Savior root works so I mean it would seem fine.

thanks

HOW do you be rid of swipe to unlock. One thing I always liked was when you put a lockscreen on the android phones it replaced swipe but now its there before you can enter your pass and it drives me NUTS! To much like IOS.

I believe someone posted a link to TB beta that supports L - try a search on that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tevil:
its no biggy, I may revert in a day or so to my backup. Loving this but I can wait a bit for the official release. If its any conciliation it is ACTUALLY the first non stock rom that been on my nexus 5 since i got it at x mas.

GREAT JOB to everyone that put it together, REALLY.

Android also has outdone themselves. The dialer is much nicer, with "all contacts" much more accessible. The notification area is also nicer and the tiles arranged better.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] tevil:
Yeah thats what I fig'd might happen. I will prob restore to my backup tonight as no 3rd party browsers seem to work with it yet.

Kind of need a second browser on my phone. I use chrome everywhere and dont like it syncing certain thing when I boot up at work lol.

UPDATE: So it isn't working for me either. no idea why, tested different things. Last time it worked. Maybe it's related to MultiRom, boot.img or SuperSu.

Last time it worked for me, but then I didn't use MultiRom with OP files, I uses my own zip with modded boot.img as standalone. Maybe there's a difference, don't know.
