Guys is there a way to get transparent drawer in the new preview version of Android Lollipop, I hate the white coloured app drawer. Sorry if this has already been answered but I could not locate anything in here.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
So here is what happened to me today. I went cycling, stopped to grab something to eat in a place where i've never faced any signal problems, and noticed that out of nowhere i had the "no service" crap. So i was left out with no signal, no mobile data, no wifi nearby to connect to, and i was meeting someone, but no possible way to contact them.

I rebooted twice, several times tried switching to airplane mode and back, even took the sim out using a toothpick i got from the fast food place. Nothing worked. Then after 10min, signal appeared as if nothing had happened, mobile data connected to LTE and everything went back to normal.

I guess i was wrong when i thought this developer preview is stable enough to be a daily driver, i'm switching back to 4.4.4 and waiting for the official release of factory images.

i also noticed a bug, after you clear all apps from recents, tap app-drawer, then home button, then recents again, and SOMETIMES (not always) things like "GoogleServices" or "AndroidOS" or stuff like that would appear and you are able to swipe them away just as any other app.

Edit: Of course i made a clean flash, with wiping the internal storage and all.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
No, there's isn't any way to achieve that. You'll need to use a custom launcher like Nova...

When I use voice search in google now or google play etc (anything that uses voice search or voice to text) my phone makes a strange buzzing sound, I recorded it but I can't upload wav files on XDA, has anyone noticed this? BTW its not from the mic as the sound didn't happen while using the recorder
[Nexus 5 General] giaomnitel1:
Dear all,

sorry if this is the wrong section.

But.. have someone of you tried to perform some comparisons in benchmarks (yes, I know they are not so reliable :) but it is an "indication") between the following configurations?

1) 4.4.4 Stock Dalvik

2) 4.4.4 Stock ART

3) 4.4.4 Custom Optimized Dalvik

4) 5.0 Stock ART (new)

I have tried only the configuration 1) and 2) and have not noticed any substantial difference in Antutu, while I have read there are some very good results with the configuration 3). Have some of you compared 3) with 4) and/or 1)-2) with 4)?

Thank you :)
[Nexus 5 General] topgeardave:
Antutu has gone to pot after v5, it's intolerant to any kernel changes as numbers always remain the same. And in terms of real life use I'd say 5.0 is fastest, followed my stock + art, then stock with optimised dalvik then stock. Only problem with Android lollipop is key apps don't work like mx player. I'm using CM on art until Google release android 5.0 final and all the apps are updated to work with it. Seeing as cm on n5 is currently a huge mess I'm planning on jumping ship to 5.0 stable as I can start from scratch.

[Nexus 5 General] dontrun:
Does anyone know how to change the calculator from radiant to degrees?
[Nexus 5 General] speedyink:
So far I'm finding this very usable as my daily driver. The only thing I noticed is in the phone app, swipe to contacts, and when you scroll down the search/recent calls scrolls away. When you swipe back to the speed dial section those things stay scrolled off the screen, and the only way to get them back is to swipe back to contacts and scroll back up.

That's really the only problem I've noticed so far.

...Except for that "lollipop, lollipop, oh la la lollipop" has been stuck in my head since I flashed it.
[Nexus 5 General] dontrun:
Does anyone know why does the status and nav bar turn orange when you turn the battery saver mode on?
[Nexus 5 General] CaspaTheGhost:
The recent calls scroll back in on all three tabs for me in rooted factory image flash...

Sent from my Slim N5
[Nexus 5 General] Bubble-be:
Because you turn battery saver mode on...:cowboy:
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
Probably so you're always aware that it's on. The OS looks and runs much worse with battery saver mode activated, and they probably don't want people to turn it on, forget about it, and then wonder why their phone is running like crap. With the orange system bars you're not likely to accidentally leave it on. Sure, there's also a notification for it, but this makes it a lot more obvious that the phone is in some special mode.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Tbh battery life has taken a hit wid lpx13 .. Wid edge i am struggling to get 5hrs sot while i touched 6+sot wid edge on 4.4.4 art....

Also m nt a big fan of white ui.... :(

Not only the ui is white bt the launcher drawer background also is nw white..

I will most probably go back to KK...
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
Love all the white/light shades. The holo dark look is very dated. Preview is the bomb so far!
[Nexus 5 General] neo2306:
White app drawer looks nice for material design and animations and though this is a preview we can expect more than this from final version !! So far so good and battery is better than kitkat in my case !!

But still missed call led notification is not working hope in final version thi will be fixed !!
[Nexus 5 General] swan14:
My N5 has never been so fast. The only thing I'm struggling to get used to is the double pull down to get to the quick setting toggles

Just pull down with 2 fingers at the same time.
[Nexus 5 General] mmidgley:
Issues mentioned in this threat and my experience:

16Gb showing on 32Gb device: all 32Gb accounted for and mostly used (again).

Exchange account issues: dont use, didn't try

calendar doesn't sync: Google Calendar syncs fine

no data connection: never seen this, T-Mobile LTE and HSPA working fine. wifi working fine.

no wifi tether connection: working

storage via otg cable: not rooted so can't try it [stickmount is root only right?]

getting no MTP connection: working

notification light: working

missed call led light: i didn't get this either; don't see notification settings in dialer app

google play music notification to Android Wear: is missing (this is sad, but i can wait a month for that to return); requesting a song via Wear resulted in a google search.

youtube: working (not sure about 720p as I generally don't care when only viewing on phone)

camera reacts slow when snapping photos (non HDR+)? nope

everytime i shut off the screen, the phone soft reboots: not occurring here.

occasionally even though my Moto360 (trusted device) is connected I still have pattern unlock requested at power on.

I really like that I can tap the unlock symbol to force a lock even with a trusted device connected. I also really like the pinned app feature, and multi-user setup. nice.

only app i use that FCs shortly after running is anMoney. i guess i'll have to run it on another device until final L as I do want to keep using L on my N5.

Does anyone know if I can root while using Android through MuiltiROM? I assume if I flash the modified boot.img it'll wipe out the MuiltiROM boot system.
[Nexus 5 General] FlipDroid:
I am flashing this version through TWRP but it seems to be hanging on Wiping System Partition. How long did everyone's installs take?
[Nexus 5 General] feedmenomnom19:
Wiping didn't take that long for me when it actually installs the it takes a good ten minutes
[Nexus 5 General] FlipDroid:
Almost immediately after I posted, the install wrapped up. I guess I got to antsy!

One thing though; The camera app that came with this preview seems to be the same one from 4.4.4. There doesn't seem to be any differences on it. Is the L camera a separate install?
[Nexus 5 General] sjknight413:
The camera app is different, the settings screen is material and there is a new blue animation across the shutter button when you take a photograph.

If possible can anyone check chromecast streaming in netflix? That was a pretty big bug in the last preview, just wondering if it's fixed. I'd check but I'm at work for the next 7 hours :(
[Nexus 5 General] BiznessMan:
I had issues at first too but I think Netflix updated it to work. My Nexus 7 is running the first Android L release from June and I am able to stream Netflix to my TV
[Nexus 5 General] NYYFan325:
Thanks, I went back to 4.4.4 after a bit so I was hoping one of those 200 netflix updates fixed it... good to know thanks!

Wait a minute... stock AOSP browser and messaging app?? What is the deal with that!?

Thanks for the link!
[Nexus 5 General] fosser2:
Yes I found this weird, but nice myself

Not sure about AOSP browser but I know Lollipop brought back the messaging app. Not sure why... This looks to be the old version though. On the Nexus 6/9 videos the icon looks completely different

Hey guys is there a new kernel version with android 5.0?
[Nexus 5 General] AASonyKK:
I tried SuperSU-v2.14 but I'm unable to obtain root access.

Still the 3.4.0
[Nexus 5 General] AndroidInsanity:
Is their any way to flash through the phone? My micro USB port is broke :(
[Nexus 5 General] fosser2:
Kernel is 3.4.0-g323bbd9
[Nexus 5 General] BiznessMan:
Seeing as how this is a developer preview, most likely not. This is just a near finished version for app developers to test their apps on and use the new API functions.

Your best bet is to either wait for somebody to build a more stable rom from source or flash back to stock when the final L appears. According to rumors it looks like L might not hit until at least mid November which sucks :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] TheROMGuy:
I really don't care it was just weird how they showed one thing but deployed another xD I use textra so the AOSP stuff doesnt bother me.

What you're missing is the fact you have to do a reset on the watch. From the power menu click "reset device." It will then go through the reset cycle and prompt to connect to a phone. Hope this helps you out.

Can anyone verify if native wifi tethering works with the updated build?

thank you!

thanks, hated having to root and use 3rd party solutions, time to flash this badboy.
[Nexus 5 General] fosser2:
One weird thing that I have noticed so far is the fact it will not let me add an Exchange account for my email... that's close to a deal breaker :(
[Nexus 5 General] GR0S:
It also misses most gapps.

New design isn't cool. New action bar and tabs and taking 1/5 of screen space, 1/5 for navbar, 3/5 for app content.
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
What a about the performance? Does it improved from the last preview or is just the same?
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
*Notification bar color changes when in playstore,google+,settings,calculator,clock,phone,contacts....just like dsb on pa :)

*New wallpapers,recents changed a bit..

*Camera settings menu changed..

*Playstore is v5.0.32..
[Nexus 5 General] runbadgerrun:
It also seems to have trouble with some SMTP servers and authentication. Keeps saying it can't establish a secure handshake. Same settings work on 4.4.4 and Outlook. Tried SSL and STARTTLS. I guess thats one reason it did not go live. Still some pretty significant things to work out.

Wtf is that browser ? It crashes if you try to enter in settings/general or other sub menu.

MTP worked for me out of the box, but I'm on Mac using Android File Transfer. As usual the setting is in Settings --> Storage --> Menu --> USB computer connection
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
Nooooo, I was so happy with everything until I realized they removed the CRT animation when locking the screen. So sad, I loved that animation. Hopefully once xposed is compatible we can bring that back.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
AOSP Browser, pretty deprecated. On actual release factory images it'll have Chrome preloaded instead. Same goes for Google Play Music vs the GB Music app
[Nexus 5 General] sjknight413:
They removed it?!? FINALLY!

that had to be the only cheap looking thing about android, so glad it's gone.

Did anyone else have any issues getting this installed?

I've ran the script and tried to manually install the individual partitions. Neither works. I've tried multiple times and can never get past the boot screen. I typically leave it for at least 10 minutes before giving up.

Now I've went back to 4.4 using the same type of script from Google and I'm having the same problem.

Is something borked with my partitions?
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
Try to use the today updated platform-tools with the .bat script.

Give him more than 10 minutes to be sure. I think the previous DP took more than 10' in my N5 to boot up.
[Nexus 5 General] TurboFool:
Came to discuss the same. I can use the Outlook OWA app for the moment, but that doesn't provide contacts or calendar, so I'm hopeful we can find a solution to this pretty quickly. Yes, I know it's the Developer Preview, so this sort of thing is to be expected. But it's too bad, since everything else is awesome.
[Nexus 5 General] xgrind:
Anyone getting 16GB space on the 32GB N5? I tried the previous known method but still no go :(
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
first time flashing it i had no double pull down for quick access to wifi/bluetooth toggle or even settings. reflashing with a full wipe to test again.
[Nexus 5 General] mootwo:
Calendar doesn't sync

Upon opening the calendar app, I'm prompted to add a Google account (which was already added of course). If I enter my account details, it tells me the account already exists, but it won't sync my calendars. It also says there are no calendars to display and in the Google account settings there is no option to sync calendars.

This, along with some of the other biggies that people have discovered today is getting close to a deal breaker for me unfortunately. There were a few bugs with the original L Preview but this seems to have taken a few steps backwards in some regards... at least as far as some of the gapps functionality is concerned. I understand that some (or all) of the new gapps will not be finished until the final Lolipop release, but why include broken or half functioning versions in this preview? Doesn't make sense to me.
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
any news about root?
[Nexus 5 General] X_N_:
Because this is, surprisingly enough a Preview Build for Devs, *Developers*, to test their apps on to make sure they are ready for release. Mostly everything works in this build & is good for us regular people to use, but first and foremost this is a preview for Devs to build/test their apps on for Material.
[Nexus 5 General] TurboFool:
Exchange fix

Okay, installing this APK, no root needed, restored Exchange functionality to the Email app from the Play Store: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541514
[Nexus 5 General] mootwo:
Obviously, and I understand this (and I am indeed a developer). But the question remains, why include half functioning or broken version of some gapps for example when there are working versions in the last preview build? How does that in any way help developers get their apps ready? Of course I understand that this is an unfinished work. I'm just wondering why many things seem to work *worse* than the original preview, that's all.
[Nexus 5 General] X_N_:
The point of this release was for Developers to make use of all the API's this time around, that's how it's suppose to help developers get ready, to actually have a full working material app instead of a half material app with the original preview. If you mean, how is a developer suppose to use this to help build their apps if they can't use it as their daily while working on their apps, I can't give you an answer to that, Google probably just assumed you'll download an alternative app in the meantime. I must ask though, outside the Calendar app & Exchange support not working 100%, what is worse in this preview compared to the original? Because this one is working/running a hell of a lot better than the original.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Yea everything is working but the stock cal and email. I just downloaded google calendar and google email app. Now that's fixed. Someone posted the exchange apk in that other lollypop thread.

[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
Guys icons on Google launcher are too big, is there any way to scale them down.
[Nexus 5 General] neodorian:
Unfortunately it didn't work. It starts installing and then says "Exchange Activesync service has stopped" even though it says the app was installed. Still doesn't show up under account options. If it's something similar that just needs to be updated for 5.0 then I'm hopeful it will be sorted. Until then I don't even know what to look into to update that APK.

Really? I couldn't get it to work. Not really sweating it since I expected issues with this dev preview. Still somewhat annoying. Not sure what I ought to try next. Maybe another wipe and install just for S&G.
