Currently booting for me as we speak! I am very excited! Installation went smooth and wasn't that complicated :)

Is it hard to install?

Does it install just like a custom rom?

Or should I wait for someone to make a flashable .zip?

    This post is no more updated !

    Now just type in and check which apps are working with Lollipop
    HERE

    For those planning on keeping Android L!

    Download link :
    https://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html

    Download image and use flash all.bat for windows. Make sure you don't remove -w from flash all.bat as android l needs complete wipe with clean install. All your data /apps on your nexus would be lost! Make sure to make a backup!
    Read complete instructions for flashing an image HERE

    Apps not working. I'll keep updating !
    -Titanium from market, see workaround
    -Greenify results in a restart
    -Facebook seems to have little issues in like/comments! See workaround
    -Es file explorer in root mode
    -MX player pro with some decoders
    -Beats (some DDR game),
    -Beat Hazard Ultra,
    -Archos Video Player
    -Twitter (Twitter Beta seems to work)
    -PPSSPP (only tested it with one game under certain conditions; needs further verification though)
    -dropbox UI but app seems to work perfectly
    -Firefox,
    -Opera,
    -Dolphin,
    -Flashfox,
    - Kindle
    - Audible
    -XDA app
    - Essential Anatomy 3
    -Mx Player/BS Player many other crashes at times
    -Quickreboot(nothing happens maybe root is not detected by the app.)
    -one football

    Apps that need a work around

    -FX File Explorer w/ Root Add-on doesn't work until you configure it to use the system busybox instead, but after that it seems to work fine.
    -Download Titanium Test Built from their twitter or see post 501- 5 on page 51 for link/instructions! Free version is supported now
    -Need Quickboot? Download BusyBox Installer by JRummy and use its scripter to boot into recovery/restart etc
    -Facebook; downgrade it! download here
    -MX player test build works like a charm.
    https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build

    Kernel working: (root is not fully functional on custom kernels)
    -ElementalX works fine 2.13v but battery life extender doesnot work
    -Bulletproof 2.2
    -Franco (not personally tested)
    -Glitch (officially in thread)
    Rooting :
    You will first need to flash latest twrp [given in link below] (2.7.1.1) and then boot into recovery and flash root.zip in twrp. Update SuperSU from Google play!
    Root.zip link
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53715043&postcount=267
    For recovery
    Recovery links
    http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo
    Or
    http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/flo

    Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:

    fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img

    Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.
    The stock ROM will automatically replace TWRP with the stock recovery. To prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP, boot TWRP, go to the mount menu and mount system, press the home button, then press Advanced -> File Manager. Browse to /system and select the file named recovery-from-boot.p then choose to rename the file to recovery-from-boot.bak
    PROBLEMS WITH ROOT/BUSYBOX OR ANYTHING SUCH ?
    Try this method :

    -flash custom boot.img from here CUSTOM BOOT IMAGE
    -download recovery from above and flash it using fastboot commands
    -flash SuperSU from twrp. Link above

    You can use NRT (Wugfresh tool) to execute these commands as well but you will need to choose custom images!

    You will not get full root unless you are on busybox 1.22.1 stericson. The system is protected so flash custom boot.IMG/boot.zip via recovery to gain write permissions!
    NO GALLERY APP
    Surprisingly, there is no gallery app with Android L built in. Install from attachment like normal apk!
    Push to system to make it a system app

    Oh jeez, tomorrow all of the panic people are gonna be back. All saying "I didn't get it yet", what's going on?", "is it here yet?", " oh my god what is wrong with google?", "its so stupid that google does this". These update threads are my favorite. People act like google specially promised them lollipop on a certain day at a certain time and they didn't get it, and their device is going to explode and destroy their lives because of it. Lmao. And when they get it they will be back to complain about the bugs in it. And say " why didn't they just wait until it was ready before they released it?" And all the threads will pop up with the title "Lollipop ruined my tablet".
    Now this is entertainment! Keep it coming. When you're dying for this update just remember that some apps won't run on art, some rooted apps will no longer work, and xposed doesn't work on ART yet. And many other reasons not to want to rush it. Keep in mind we will all have it soon. And not long after, all the things we love will be working properly. This place rocks and all of us together make android worth it. Now all the " can't wait" people need to hurry up and get back in here and get this thread Rollin again!
