[OFFICIAL] Android Lollipop Discussion (Android Lollipop Released)

That's so weird you say that. I was on the same predicament a few days ago and find vlc to be very similar and has been working wonders for me until mx player updates
Those with performance, battery, or usability issues on L, how are you setting up your device? I've installed each of the three previews as soon as it was available, and haven't had any issues. The first two weren't the smoothest, but the new one is just awesome all around.
The thing about having a Nexus is there's a ton of different ways to do something, but it doesn't mean they're all gonna produce the same results. Flashing a rom zip or using a toolkit that's based around older versions of Android may not work the best. Every time I always flash the full official image in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery and insecure kernel, then flash the supersu zip in TWRP. Don't flash any other mods, themes, etc, as the code for Lollipop still hasn't been released, and any mods are gonna be based around previous versions of the OS.
Sure, it's possible there's some bad hardware out there, but more than likely that will fix it. Never really understood the point of toolkits for Nexus devices tbh, but until the final code is released I think you're only setting yourself up for more problems. Anytime Google releases a new image for your Nexus, I recommend flashing it the proper way through fastboot, then doing what you want from a clean start.

Did anyone notice that apps stay running even when you reboot your device? not necesarilly a bad thing, just saying! Also i've seen people say that bluetooth doesn't work, it works fine for me (used it to transfer my google account which is something new in the setup screen)
yeah they're not running, just the preview remains. iOS does this too
Anyone got trickstermod working?
Yes. Just install busybox with "Busybox on rails". It's made by trickster team.
I have done this and still cannot get trickster working. When I open it, it immediately crashes and offers to send a crash/bug report.

I've looked at my busybox and I was wrong. This is how I got it working:
1. Fastboot flashed factory image of last preview the day it came out.
2. Flashed sykopompos or Chainfire's boot.img for root access
3. Flashed SUPERSU 2.14 (2.16 should work too).
4. Used Busybox installer app by Stericson to install his 1.22.1 version.
5. Flashed Tassadar's kernel from Multirom manager app
6. Installed Trickstermod app.
The first one is the most troublesome... But maybe the most important too. Anyway, you have plenty of possible deviations from this sequence so... You could give it a try.
Cheers!
The tap&go option on the setup wizard is also really interesting! A big improvement over other backup/restore methods just tapped my phone and my nexus 7 together and boom my google account was transfered (i did need to enter my password) and it started installing all the apps that i had on my phone onto my tablet
Is this for simple reboot? I don't have any options either. Just asks if I want to reboot, then reboots. No recovery, power off or download mode.

Never mind. I didn't realize that they each have their own icon. Thanks man
My circle but on didn't work when I did the update without wiping data. When I did a wipe and flash full image, everything works now.

So basically factory reset and flash through twrp and run the root toolkit? Hey that is simple

Sorry if I missed that you wanted to flash some modded version of L. But if you just want the latest preview with root, Wug's does it all. Be sure to run a TWRP backup before just in case.

ESFile Explorer seems to be accepting root as of version 3.2.2 out of the box.
Edit: it dropped root just like before--just took a little longer.

33This 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 !
Apps that need a work around
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

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 app10Oh 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!97Uploading twrp backup
Hey guys I just made a TWRP backup of a fresh install of the L Release Developer Preview!
Currently uploading to Mega so I'll post a link as soon as it´s done... Also, if anyone knows a better client to upload the files tell me please as this is talking a while
Maybe someone will want to try it for MultiRom
