I added the download link in my thread.

So far it looks good, quick settings follows the configuration of the normal panel so that's great to customize it, notifications are very GPE like, so is the lockscreen and even the lockscreen pattern animations are there.

Notification bar tinting is there, power menu still has power off, airplane, kid mode, restart.

Smartlock is there, HTC backup came back for some reason, it was gone when I checked earlier.

Definitely feels very smooth, just that the notification pull down for example feels a tad slower, just needs to be adjusted in the dev options.

Wifi keeps disconnecting though, that's really annoying, I did not have that with Sense 4.4.4 or GPE 5.0.1

Wow, WiFi disconnected and now it doesn't want to connect back. Definitely some bugs there with the WIFI.

Edit, after turning Wifi off and on and trying to connect a bunch of times, it finally connected but I'm not liking that at all.

Great, Lollisense :) finally arriving

Before I update, I've got two small questions about Lollisense vs. untouched Lollipop ("Nexus-Lollipop"):

1. Silent Mode

Does Lollisense have silent/vibrate/normal modes, or have they adapted Google's None/Priority/normal modes (which have been introduced in Lollipop)?

2. Mail App

Does Lollisense still have a seperate MAIL app, or are the mail accounts merged to the GMAIL App like it happens on Nexus (where the MAIL App is ditched)
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
Regular silent/vibrate/normal modes and still separate Sense Mail app.

[One (M8) General] rquinn19:
I'm in the Sense Lollipop, but when I was on GPE I never had any problems with alarms sounding while in silent mode. I work 8pm to 8am so I used it all the time.

I think HTC will put the RUU with L in the next few days. You can RUU to 4.4.4 and your phone will get the OTA but it's not guaranteed you'll get it instantly, it's a staged update so not all phones get it at the same time.

[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
Thank you guys! Can't wait for a pure AOSP build for our M8.
[One (M8) General] Jamal Ahmed:
Just for clarification, now that source code is out, is it up to HTC to build the stock Lollipop for GPE and roll out the update or is it up to Google?

Also, should the huge change in source code mean longer wait till GPE get it after Nexus devices?
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I expect it won't be easy to port L. I'm sure the OTA will come with a truckload of firmware upgrades as well as a ton of other new things.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
HTC makes the update ready and passes it to Google. Google is the one that releases the OTA to Google Play edition devices.

Last year HTC made the kit Kat update ready in two weeks, but it took a little bit longer until Google pushed the update to the GPE M7
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
False, as confirmed by HTC, it is Google that makes the software for GPE devices and distributes it.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
That's interesting, HTC says google makes the updates and Google says it's the manufacturer.
[One (M8) General] sapplegater:
The people usually running the Twitter accounts for company's aren't always completely up to date on items and a lot of time they just say stuff to put out and answer, I know when Google announced the GPE device they said the manufacturers would be in charge of the devices every time, only phone Google would be in charge of we're the Nexus devices.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
That means it could be awhile before we see an OTA because i'm sure HTC has a lot of it's programmers working on the Sense version. I wonder what percentage of M8's are GPE. If it's a small percentage maybe HTC will make L available for Sense first even if there's a lot less work on the GPE version. Gotta please the customers that bring the most money first :)
[One (M8) General] sapplegater:
Nope the GPE release will come first that was the deal that was made when the program came out was that devices would receive the newest android updates with in a couple weeks after the Nexus devices, most likely HTC has teams dedicated to each device type.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Okay so I guess worse case would be end of November if the OTA for Nexus gets pushed next week. I'm almost tempted go go back to Sense because there are some features I miss a lot (Music player but mostly the exchange mail client)

Edit : One thing I'll never miss about Sense though... the dialer
[One (M8) General] sapplegater:
Yeah I'd say end of November begining of December at the latest really depends on how much differences there is between 4.4.4 and 5.0, yeah the music app on Sense is so much better than play music as for exchange have you tried the new Gmail that includes it?
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I have, I was happy with it but I wasn't able to have it sync my calendar for some reason. I had to configure the account via IMAP and it worked great for mail but no option to sync the calendar.
[One (M8) General] sapplegater:
Hmm darn I know with the newest one from apkmirror and the new Google cal mines been syncing it didn't in the beginning :-/
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Oh, I didn't try the newer new Gmail, this one has exchange as an option on top of IMAP and POP.

Goodbye Touchdown!

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

The first APK of the new GMail didn't give me the option to add an Exchange account, but there was a newer one that I installed but didn't check. It does have exchange and it does sync the calendar.

No need for touchdown and no need to go back to Sense :)

about red text saying collecting data and sending it to htc, no matter which option you choose: it's s-off dependant. this occurs on every software version on any carrier. tested it on o2 sw and htc 401 sw. only way to remove it is to set your device back to s-on; but you obviously don't want to do that so freezing the reporting service and ignoring the text is most probably the best way ;)

Some people thought "None" would mean silent but allow alarms (me included) but none really means none. Silent mode is really Priority notification on GPE but you have to take the time to tweak it a bit to really know what will notify and what will remain silent. It's not a horrible feature like some people say, just gotta know how to use it.

Because lollipop allows swiping notifications away to the left or right on the lock screen.

I've been running the Developer Edition / Sense Lollipop update for a bit now, and it is about what I expected. Sense with Lollipop running under it. I did rerun the KitKat RUU, blowing away the phone to bone stock, prior to running the OTA, so there shouldn't be any funny business from prior activities floating around. I wonder if running the OTA over an existing install might explain some of the weirdness?

So far, I have been pleased. Yes, it does look almost virtually identical to the KitKat Sense release. Which figures, because this is a Sense based image. In that respect, it looks exactly like I expected. However, it does add face unlocking (though it seems to have a bit of trouble with my mug for some reason), and some of the new notification stuff. However, I have noticed that start times for applications have dropped significantly due to ART, and the phone reboots a LOT faster. It's pretty clear that there were some architectural changes under the hood.

Maybe more of the lollipop look and feel will get brought in with a Sense update, but I kind of doubt it. HTC has their own style that they apply, and Sense didn't look like stock KitKat either, which is fine. I like Sense, but if I didn't, there is always the GPE release.
