[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I've flashed to and fro from Android M and stock 5.1.1 and Android OS usage was really high every time I was on Android M. Usually 5 or more hours per full battery cycle. Did even matter if I didn't sign into anything or install any user apps.
[Nexus 5 General] el_smurfo:
But how was your overall battery usage. Every android version seems to change how uncategorized items are plotted on the battery screen. I find the battery on M is equivalent to L or CM
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
It was hit or miss. Sometimes the phone would show awake for an hour or so on the battery graph but register a 1 or 2 percent drop. Other times it'd drop 10 percent or more under the same circumstances. Over the course of a work week when doing nothing on the phone it jump from one day to the next of me making it home and needing a charge or needing to charge at lunch time.

M Preview 2 released!

http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html

Build: MPZ79M
[Nexus 5 General] mario4693:
Preview #2

Hi guys, good news. Preview 2 it's online :D
[Nexus 5 General] timo_capa:
Gonna check in about 20 minutes if custom kernels still work.

If they do, I'm gonna check if root works. :)

E: Phone didn't boot up. Custom Kernels are probably broken.
[Nexus 5 General] TonyHoyle:
I did an upgrade (removing -w) and no issues so far with that.

App drawer is nicer.. letters have gone.

There's a search on the top of the app drawer.. very handy!

There's now a 'storage and usb' option in settings which has a file manager in it.. not sure that's new though.

There's a 'memory' category in settings

Wifi seems to work properly now (in version 1 it kept resetting).

You can opt in to now on tap (google now->settings->now cards) but it doesn't seem to do anything - a long press just brings up the standard google now page.

OK google from any screen - requires training though.

Option to allow rotation of the home screen.

Guest access. Again, not sure if this is new. Click guest, user gets to use your phone but no calls unless you allow it, then at the end hit remove guest and it wipes them.

(note: Any of the above might have existed before and I was too asleep/stupid to notice..)
[Nexus 5 General] Schokofrosch:
Damn.. And I´m sitting here doing a 66GB time machine backup to install the new el capitan beta from Apple.. :D

Edit: Dirty flash worked for me..
[Nexus 5 General] alturismo:
Hi,

any chance to build the kernel for m preview 2, would be very nice

thanks ahead ;)
[Nexus 5 General] kevtrysmoddin:
Anyone have absurd system crashes when trying to use Google now on tap
[Nexus 5 General] cred05:
You can opt in for Now On Top. (No crashes for me, it just takes me to the Google Now screen)

There's an option to have Now cards on the lock screen

The app drawer does look a lot better!

Snapchat no longer flips images upside down
[Nexus 5 General] TonyHoyle:
Nothing here, but it seems to be just a shortcut for home/swipe left anyway. I don't think they've switched it on server side yet.
[Nexus 5 General] kevtrysmoddin:
Thanks I'll clean flash to be safe
[Nexus 5 General] tehopeologist:
anyone verify if hellscore kernel works with preview 2?
[Nexus 5 General] Pjuuder:
Preview 2 doesnt have themes anymore or have i missed something?
[Nexus 5 General] TonyHoyle:
System UI tuner seems much impoved. Battery percentage settings also.

There's a button for 'Demo mode' but I can't see what it does.
[Nexus 5 General] timvdlinde:
I got the preview 1 installed at the moment, I already downloaded preview 2. How should I flash it, every file manually except for userdata?
[Nexus 5 General] matesc:
Yes or you extract the factory image and inside you find a zip and flash it:

fastboot flash update *.zip
[Nexus 5 General] mosd:
does this wipe everytin?
[Nexus 5 General] matesc:
No it doesn't wipe anything (only system...but that's obsolete). It's absolutely safe. Your user data and internal storage will remain. Make sure there is no -w in the command, like in the bat file from factory images. However you have to flash custom recovery and root again..
[Nexus 5 General] stickt73:
The kernel built for Preview 1 works. I got root with it same way as for Preview 1.

Hellscore works too.
[Nexus 5 General] SketchyStunts:
I did a fully clean flash including internal storage. Setting everything up now. Seems it takes longer for apps to install. Anyone else notice that?
[Nexus 5 General] mosd:
what do you mean no w in command?
[Nexus 5 General] SketchyStunts:
http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/

Just start at step 8 & if you want to keep your userdata, dont' use the command:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
[Nexus 5 General] mosd:
thanks! did this and it worked but phone is litte laggy and getting hot as hell. maybe i missed something
[Nexus 5 General] el_smurfo:
Must have... Smoother than preview 1 and no heat here
[Nexus 5 General] asd246810:
does the stock kernel have a update?
[Nexus 5 General] virani_joush:
Much smoother than preview 1 and wifi is much stable now..
[Nexus 5 General] NOTilyass:
Do I need new drivers for android M?? My pc doesn't recognize the nexus5 ??
[Nexus 5 General] silvertrain78:
Had to give it a spin. Some nice improvements, but still very much a work-in-progress. The main deal breaker was that Chrome wouldn't sync, and TiBU wasn't working properly.

Oh well.. Stay tuned!!
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Yea, optimisation of apps took bloody ages! Almost looking like it was getting stuck at some points!

Yea, someone posted em after the first release. I think it was a separate thread in the development forum just for them. Have a quick search
[Nexus 5 General] tcuwolf:
We're can I find a zip file for this rom
[Nexus 5 General] LRC1710:
The new animations are lovely, isk if they were there in the first preview because I didn't install it, but maaan this is gorgeous...

I don't know about Chrome not syncing but Titanium backup works properly after you select proper backup location.

[Nexus 5 General] matesc:
Just make sure, there is no -w in that command, like in the factory images, because it would wipe your device.

Use the command I mentioned before and you will be fine.

[Nexus 5 General] pafaisal:
Flashed Preview 2. Long press on home button now directly goes to google now screen like in lollipop.

Missing the new google now message in preview 1 " Cards about the screen you were ........"

Is this normal in preview 2...? or anyone getting the same google now same as in preview 1...?
[Nexus 5 General] tikkalamt:
I actually miss the app drawer from preview 1 with letters :):o
[Nexus 5 General] njnets123:
How do you select the proper backup location?
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
Will the OTA update wipe my phone unroot it or lose all my secondary roms?
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
the OTA will not work if you are root. If you dirty flash it you will loose root, TWRP and access to you secondary room. You will need to reflash twrp and super SU ( if superSU work with the preview 2)

What i did is : Switch primary (lollipop) and Secondary (M), dirty flash the update, flash TWRP et now i'm waiting for my apps to be updated. I will probably reswitch again my primary/secondary again later.
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
Thanks where the zip for 2nd preview?

Videos working fine here. I think they have boosted the loud speaker sound a little bit or is it my phone only...
[Nexus 5 General] thorrules:
I have the same problem. I was watching YouTube it started fine and suddenly changed to green purple, I thought it was a bad upload, but it played fine on my PC.
[Nexus 5 General] resident0915:
I still get the same as in preview 1 but maybe it's formatted slightly different?
[Nexus 5 General] pafaisal:
You updated over OTA or factory images..? Did you wipe data..?
[Nexus 5 General] resident0915:
factory images, full wipe using fasboot erase commands and then individually fastboot flashing each image. I had weird issues getting the first preview installed so I went the safest way for this one.
[Nexus 5 General] pafaisal:
I flashed each image except userdata image. Google now is as attached.. since it is not working still, will do a factory rest once final version is released.
[Nexus 5 General] Aman_Arora:
go to The google dev preview website and download the preview...OTA takes time to roll out...
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
Good question I wonder if the OTA might be a bit different where the long press Now on Tap might work as oppose to the downloaded preview

i did not even download DP2 yet lol

I'll install and rebuild when sources will be out (i think next week, as Google takes some time before releasing them), and that considered, let's hope that root can be achieved in the same manner ^^

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

no observations, it's working well on mine ^^

let's now wait for DP2 sources!
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
I have just clean-flashed the new DP, and expericence new issues. In the App Info screen, if I tap on "ignore optimizations", an empty screen appears. This, in my case, means WhatsApp messages aren't now as instant and reliable as they were before.

What's more, Bluetooth Share process crashes when trying to set my Mi Band as a trusted device to unlock my phone.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Same thing with my Jaybirds BluebudsX. It crashes over and over again until the phone randomly reboots. Bluetooth transmitter in my SUV works fine though. I've done 2 clean flashes wiping everything and it happens every time so it's not anything wrong on my end. Going back to stock it works as it should.
[Nexus 5 General] blackbird5308:
i can confirm it works with root and everything
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
So you say the random reboots I'm experiencing are caused by the Bluetooth service? I thought their cause was the slight undervolt I have done, but my phone has been stable for one year with those settings...

Are you sure that Bluetooth is the cause of this?

Scrolled back and can't find your post with the P2 kernel...did you just replace your mega link in the old P1 kernel post?
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I can't comment on your undervolt. I was on an ellipitcal last night when the bluetooth share crashed repeatedly until it forced a reboot twice in a row. I had to turn off my headset then unpair it from my phone and grab a wired headset to finish my work out. I came home clean flashed again and it happened on the second flash as well.

Also, will I be able to get Back to 4.4.4 if needed?

Should be able to without any major issues. Just a full wipe and flash of the factory images. My N5 has been back and forth on the M preview and 5.1.1

From what I've seen only the nexus 6 has received the OTA because that's the only OTA link that has been posted.

I did dirty flash from prev 1 to 2 and had different problems. Preview 1 was really stable with no major problems. Today Waze resetted and lost all settings and for a couple of days I haven't been able to turn wifi on. Hotspot works though, which is funny. Maybe that's the culprit that I configured it. This time I didn't root like I did with prev 1.

Anyway, I got tired of all these problems and am now flashing prev 2 with full wipe. I hope this time does it.
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
This dev preview is really smooth, I'm impressed...animations are significantly smoother than 5.1.1...it does have some issues with Wi-Fi drops and extra long time for app installs from play store(Facebook for example took way to long to install). But the system is so fluid. Can't wait to see the final version. Also, lost 1-2% at night(8 hours) without any apps helping like I used to have on 5.1.1(greenify, servicely, etc)

I got the OTA message, downloaded it and when pressed install it went to TWRP. I cant find the downloaded OTA file any where. Tried downloading the zip from this thread but it stops when downloading on the phone and the connection between computer and phone dont work. No idea how to update to DP2.
[Nexus 5 General] tikkalamt:
Can you explain better, please?

Mine said that 'error connecting to WiF'i. I found that by going to WiFi settings, turning it on and quickly selecting the desired network and clicking connect I was able to reconnect. I had to do this very fast, because otherwise WiFi would turn off before I had time to connect. But the connection dropped after a while anyway.

Now I installed "WiFi Better Battery" from Play Store and that seems to keep the connection up.
[Nexus 5 General] ert69:
Ok, I managed to get the OTA update zip on my phone through Dropbox, but when I go to flash it, it gives mean error. HÄLP!
[Nexus 5 General] bender_007:
What way are you flashing it? If it's Google stock ota then twrp isn't the right recovery for you. Not sure how things work on nexus but I'm pretty sure this is the wrong way, you need stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] ert69:
Thanks, flashed stock recovery and downloaded the OTA from settings menu. Still gave me an error. Ill try to extract the stock recovery from the latest M preview later, will see how that goes. If still not working, then I'll do a clean install and flash the factory img.
[Nexus 5 General] kevtrysmoddin:
Your spot on stock recovery is needed to flash the ota
[Nexus 5 General] silvertrain78:
The system has to be unmodified and stock recovery for an OTA update. If you rooted your phone, the OTA will fail. In that case, you might as well flash factory image of DP2.

[Nexus 5 General] el_smurfo:
Reverted from Despair and all video issues and wakelocks went away. I don't do much with root these days, since M has most of the functionality I looked for in aftermarket ROMs and mods, so I don't miss it.

Ok thanks I am rooted and running despair 1.8. I'll wait a few days and see if he comes out with an update and maybe try that if not I hear you I could go without root.

Anyone have a quick link to the stock v2 kernel?
[Nexus 5 General] el_smurfo:
Just pull it out of the update zip. I found I had to also reflash the system.img or it wouldn't boot...perhaps the stock kernel doesn't like changes Despair makes to /system (another reason I rarely like using custom kernels).

Has anyone tried the version from within this thread that only has the root flag enabled? Curious if it's something within these alternate kernels or if it really is just the root access that is messing stuff up (DRM?).

[Nexus 5 General] silvertrain78:
I tried the stock kernel mod posted here, but it also gave me the purple/green video playback. The bug also flickered briefly when I was completely stock, so it's not necessarily a custom kernel issue. It's more prevalent with custom kernels, but also affects stock.

My experience with DP2 wasn't good at all. Battery sucked, and Google app wakelocks were a major factor. Reverted back to 5.1.1. Out of curiosity I'll probably test DP3, but think I can wait for the official release before adopting M as a daily driver.

If what you're saying is when you press "install" on Google play store and it takes forever for the window promp to pop up, then I've found a simple fix.

After you've pressed install, press on the task switcher button on the navigation bar, then stitch back into Google play store.. The promp comes up immediately.
