    Code: 
    adb backup -apk -obb -all -system
  3. Recommend: Backup your internal storage (see FAQ below for the reason). Either copy all files in Explorer or use adb:
    Code: 
    adb pull /sdcard/
  4. Boot to recovery
  5. Recommend: Factory reset. Warning: All your apps and app data will be deleted! Make sure you have a backup!
  6. Recommend: Format/wipe internal storage (see FAQ below for the reason). Warning: All your files will be deleted! Make sure you have a backup!
  7. Format/wipe system
  8. Unmount system
  9. Install aosp_mako-ota-eng.5.0.zip (or aosp_mako-ota-eng-preroot.5.0.zip)

  14. Optional: Recover from backup:
    Code: 
    adb restore backup.ab
  15. Optional: Copy your files back to internal storage

Clean install with fastboot

You won't have GApps this way ...
WARNING: If you flash userdata.img, all your data will be gone! Even the files on internal storage!
  1. Download the images
  2. Boot to bootloader
  3. Flash
    Code: 
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img


FAQ

Oh no, all my files are lost!!!
or
Why should I wipe internal storage?
5.0 uses a much stricter SELinux policy than most 4.4 ROMs do. Normally the first boot should migrate all the things (and it did for me, but only the first time). If not, you are no longer able to see your internal storage (aka SD card). E.g. Camera says: Please enter an SD card. To fix that problem you have to either wipe the internal storage and let Android recreate the file structure. (You can before still access the /sdcard in TWRP for a backup with adb). Or you can fix the SELinux context with the following command (in recovery):
Code: 
adb shell
IFS="

"
for i in `find /data/media`; do chcon u:object_r:media_rw_data_file:s0 "$i"; done

Is this the official update from Google?
No, this is an AOSP build from the latest Lollipop sources.

Do I need to be on stock 4.4.4 before flashing?
No, but you should consider doing a factory reset otherwise.

Can I do a dirty upgrade?
Yes, you can. But you might spend a lot of time in fixing F/Cs...

Can this ROM be rooted?
Yes, just flash aosp_mako-ota-eng-preroot.5.0.zip (or aosp_mako-boot-root.5.0.zip) and BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip


Known issues

General:
  • No access to internal storage, even not with adb or as root. Seems like SELinux is misconfigured. See FAQ for solution

Due to incomplete GApps:
  • WLAN/mobile based location isn't working
  • No face unlock (libs missing) works with new gapps
  • calendar sync provider missing works with new gapps


How to build

This ROM is build with the original Google sources:
Code: 
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-5.0.0_r2
See https://source.android.com/source/building.html for build instructions.

Binary blobs are taken from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/blobs-preview.

The kernel is the default precompiled kernel provided by Google (can be found in device/lge/mako-kernel/kernel).

To prepare for root, you have to remove the seclabel line from system/core/rootdir/init.rc:
Code: 
service flash_recovery /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
    class main
    seclabel u:r:install_recovery:s0
    oneshot

We don't have 5.0 gapps yet, so I flashed pa-gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20140930 (after removing the version check in updater-script). Works great so far.

I'm running a dirty upgrade from 4.4.4, no issues so far. Just format /system, flash ota.zip and gapps, wipe cache and enjoy.

I guess this requires me to be running stock 4.4.4 before flashing.
Could you post the system.img , userdata.img , cache.img , boot.img and recovery.img so I could flash it via fastboot.

Thanks

it will be 100% working when we have OTA or after some time with AOSP when developers fix all the missing binaries, libraries, bugs and etc.

I'm returning to stock 4.4.4 as I type this, and then I will do a clean flash of this 5.0 AOSP build and see how I go. Shall report back here upon completion. :D
