A video review of Android M on Nexus 5 by @mjp93:

Very first impressions and screenshots by @Isus <3

Here are the images of Android M!

Here is also the small review!

Animations are a lot, lot smoother! OS seems faster as well because this animations seem to create this effect of OS running more smooth than Lollipop. There are also some UI changes as lockscreen, font in some places and some google apps are redesigned with nav bar and status bar transparency tweaks. Really enjoying this!

Here is also lockscreen changes, forgot to upload on imgur

We spotted a video on YouTube:

Isus <3 · May 28, 2015 at 7:13 PM

I'm gonna use M as my daily driver. It looks amazing!

also they said they squashed more than 1000 bugs which means its more friendly than Lollipop

Gotcha B) i was worried abt nexus 5 not getting the preview build (as nexus 4 was left out of L dev preview last year) but kudos to google

stankyou · May 28, 2015 at 7:20 PM

They probably want more enthusiasts to test the dev preview this time to get their s#!t together before the next major release. LOL

kieran_bondflashy · May 28, 2015 at 7:25 PM

This may be a noob comment, but it says on the website that it's available in the sdk, does that mean you have to download it through the sdk or through the Android developer website?

It's better for them to release dev preview first then release full version of android to help devs adopt their apps to new android version.. I don't see whats wrong with that

These new Google Now features are actually amazing; iOS people will surely start crying now

if its the same as the L preview, you can flash it like a normal factory image, just remove the -w wipe from the file

Yes. It's called backing up your **** before tinkering with your phone.
