Wow. Great news. Do you know if it works with the second M kernel in the OP as well?

Yes root also works with Despair kernel by the same method.
[Nexus 5 General] 31ken31:
Despair had the first kernel and its highly optimized in version 1.5
[Nexus 5 General] SacredDeviL666:
prefer hells over despair... with hells you can flash 2.46 not required for 2.49
[Nexus 5 General] tomh1979:
when you say had to do a wipe first, are you talking in the stock android recovery, as is factory reset basically, wipe all data?
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
I'm unsure how that makes a difference on why you prefer it? Lol. What difference does the su version make?

Yes, Wipe All in recovery mode. When you try to flash it and get the error i would get an error booting into recovery so i flashed a custom recovery, wiped all user data and tried again with the flashing worked fine.

It was probably because i was rooted and had a custom recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] tomh1979:
i've never had this issue before, had me confused as all can be, heck i could even fastboot flash the files individually and boot, but things were broken worse then had it just been all at once.

In the end this is still a developer preview and not intended for daily (heavy)usage. If you rely on snapchat, flash the 5.1.1 and wait for the M OTA to arrive.

So true but after running it hard since release really haven't had any issues worth complaining about. Yes there are plenty of apps that act crazy but isn't that what the preview is for? To me its stable enough to use as a daily driver.

I believe it's a Windows limitation!!!!

Looks like this is a limitation with Windows ADB. I tried flashing Android M on Nexus 5 using MAC-OS X version, flashing worked without any issues

Though it complained saying archive does not contain following files boot.sig, recovery.sig, system.sig and vendor.img . After waiting for few secs, say 4-6 secs, flashing continued on Nexus 5.

TB worked for me on M Preview. Some people said it didn't, but it could have been an issue with their ROM installation.

Batch freezing, uninstalling, backup & restore all worked for me.

I fastboot flashed the Developer image manually, including userdata. Rooted with Code Blue M & SuperSU 2.49.

As far as I know, TB doesn't require enforcing SELinux.
[Nexus 5 General] thorrules:
Just wanted to post this here to know whether this is a known issue. I have been using M preview for the last few days, I had it rooted with code blue kernel. Then I wanted to try out cataclysm rom, so I took a twrp backup (2.8.6.1) and flashed cataclysm after wiping everything system, data etc. After playing a bit with cataclysm I tried to restore my m preview (after wiping everything) and it kept failing during the part where it restores the system. I tried it 3 times didn't work, so I finally just flashed the stock M images. Thankfully it is my extra nexus 5 that I use for precisely this purpose, so I didnt have to worry about losing all data, but I am just curious to know whether anyone else here had experienced this.

So Android Authority is saying that RRO is now baked into Android M.

Does this mean we can use RRO themes with it? I may just try just to test it.

Hey guys....RRO works. :)
[Nexus 5 General] thorrules:
RRO works but not all themes are working correctly.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I noticed that. Probably because the themes need to be updated to work with the changes Google made. But I tried Elixium and most of the apps are themed. Dialer, Messenger, Hangouts, Settings, Google Music, Gmail, Play Store, Keep. It's cool that it is enabled by default now and we can use it.

[Nexus 5 General] onesolo:
Can u explain how??
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
The same as it's always been. Download the Layers Manager app. Then download an RRO theme and install it with the manager app
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
So after tinkering and all, I realized that some of the theme elements were not getting installed. At first I assumed that it was because of the changes Google made and the theme needed to be updated. But then I realized, looking in system/vendor/overlay/ in root explorer that some of the icons were different like they weren't installed properly. I tried deleting them and manually moving some of the theme apks over and got an error message. I then remembered I had issues like this before due to the factory images having apps take up almost all of the system partition leaving no room for anything else to be installed. So I deleted some system apps like Chrome and Play Books (apps that can be installed through the play store) and tried again. I had no issues moving layer apks over.

So bottom line, I believe all themes will work fine. But since Google has all their apps taking up the system space, layers manager will only install what it can until there is no more room, making it seem like parts of the theme just don't work. I hope that helps people.

icons i have used would be from Iride ui icon pack v1.2.7 and from phix icon pack v2.0.2.0... sms/msging app is smitten 1.6.5 and black es file explorer from TBO... wallpaper scrollable from backgrounds app...

the reason why i had share the ss was to point out layers is very well supported and infact the factory image itself has that option of turning black or white your settings image so i was sure layers was supported just had to find the right ones which would stick with M... i had turned the settings menu to black and then applied the layers else while applying black themed layers with white settings it wasn't picking up....

and the foremost thing is lots of free time :p so there that it is layers just themed every bit of M as it would for L

Hey guys, has titanium backup released a version that is compatible with Android M? Or should I use Helium to restore my apps?
[Nexus 5 General] silvertrain78:
TB worked for me. But if you're trying to restore your apps from Lollipop, you might encounter issues. Basically, it's not a good idea to cross pollinate data from official to developer releases. Start fresh.

My test of TB was after setting up & rooting M Preview.

Inside the M universe alone it works well: batch backup/restore, uninstall system apps, freeze apps, etc
[Nexus 5 General] F4uzan:
Hi guys !

I want to share my little discovery from my experiment.

I synced m-preview, and I built it successfully (and yes, this means custom ROM based on M). I checked the PLATFORM_VERSION when building, it shows an abnormal version string which is 5.1.51.

So, I checked the build.prop of it, and this is the result :

[... cut here ]

ro.build.version.sdk=22
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.all_codenames=REL
ro.build.version.release=5.1.51
ro.build.date=Sun Jun 7 13:22:24 WIB 2015
ro.build.date.utc=1433658144
ro.build.type=user
ro.build.user=f4uzan
ro.build.host=my-pc
ro.build.tags=test-keys
ro.build.flavor=aosp_hammerhead-user
ro.product.model=AOSP on HammerHead

[... cut here, the rest is the same ]

This is synced from LATEST sources from Google itself, I did not do any modification (I just straightly build it after I sync it).

So, some of you guys probably ask something, why does it matters anyway ?

Well, I just wanted to share my findings and I find it interesting that the fact, Android M probaly will hold the tag of 5.2 instead of 6.0

I could be wrong (well, mostly I am wrong), so it'll be nice if some developers shed some light and explain the situation here (I know that this is a preview and it'll change when the final image is done).

Anyway, if it seems to be unimportant to you (the version thingy, it's not that worth it to read, etc), you can skip this post.

Thanks for your time :D

#Edit1 : It boots, btw. But it seems stays on Lollipop (so I just created a breed of monster from Lollipop and M). I googled a bit and realized that M sources are partial only. So this means, it's not a full source upload

## So there's still hope for 6.0, I guess

Thanks for the reply. I used the same though and get the gps error. Do you think it might be something else?
[Nexus 5 General] F4uzan:
You get the joke, nice :D

Yep, it might be something else. My thought :

- Resync, I always do this

- I see that you cloned the hammerhead device folder again, this is not needed since the manifest synced it for you

- Redownload the binaries, just in case. Put them in the build folder. Make sure you run all of them (qcom, lge, and broadcom specific sh)

All of these might won't work at all
[Nexus 5 General] t3al:
