These are NIGHTLY builds and should not be considered "stable" builds

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for bad things that happen as a result of flashing this.

Prereqs:
- Use kitkat recovery
- Must have unlocked bootloader

Notes:
- Mobile data takes roughly a minute or 2 to come up after a reboot

Some bugs I've noticed:

Locking/Rotating the screen results in a hatchy pattern of black pixels


Battery life is not great, miscellaneous takes up a lot of percentage

The keyboard didnt work for me by default, I had to check to some really obscure option in settings for it to work(This problem might just be limited to me though)

I'm just amazed we got Lollipop at all, and I know things can only get smoother and less buggy from here. Thanks sbrissen!

Going to give it a try and will let you know how it works.
This may come across as a stupid question but are you referring to a kitkat compatible recovery like the latest Philz or latest CWM or an actual "kitkat" recovery?
Thanks in advance.

Wow... lolly pop is super smooth. Like butter. I had an issue with getting the keyboard to pop up at first. The camera only works in selfy mode and crashed when I tried video. I also live in central Pennsylvania so after I sent one text, it wouldn't send anymore. That can be fixed though on my end, I think. I also couldn't hang up on a call. All in all though great start.
Will lollypop get the theme engine like CM? I think that was the only thing I would miss in it.

I installed with twrp 2.8.1.0. Could not get keyboard either. Had to go into language and input and turn on hardware keyboard. That made the keyboard start popping up. I'm also getting the black pixels during screen rotation. So far it looks like there's no way to disable the capacitive button lights either
Pretty darn awesome that this is out though! Thank you so much

Only big bug I have encounter in an hour or so of playing around is that it cannot connect to the rear camera, only front facing, as glockman4519 stated. And also the keyboard bug, but that's only on the first boot so far.

Found another bug, or maybe I'm just dumb, but I cannot get the heads-up notifications to do anything. When you have the screen on and you get a text or a phone call, the notification will pop up along the top, and I can only swipe them away. I cannot tap them to open the app, I cannot press the 'answer' or 'ignore' buttons that pop up on the phone call notification. I tried tapping, double tapping, swiping up. Nothing. I can only dismiss the notification by swiping left or right.

Anybody else experiencing this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Still no keyboard for me. I didn't see any option to "turn on hardware keyboard". When I clicked on the item under "hardware keyboard", it popped up a window saying "configure keyboard input method" or something like that. I configured one, and then hit the back button till I got back to my home screen, but still couldn't get a keyboard to pop up. I'm using Nova launcher, if that makes any difference. And trying to use Hacker's Keyboard....

Settings -> Language & Input -> Current Keyboard -> Toggle switch for "Hardware"

On a separate note, I noticed I wasn't able to send or receive MMS, which lead me to investigate, and I do not have any mobile data. Phone calls and SMS work fine, though.

Weird, I don't remember seeing that toggle. I'll re-backup my current cm11 and restore to cm12, see if I can't find it. Thanks.

Ah, yes, there it is! And it's working fine, now! Woo woo!

Some people were saying the back-facing camera wasn't working. It seems to be working for me.

But GPS definitely wasn't working... so here I go back to cm11 :)

I couldn't get the main camera to work. The front, or the one used to take selfys is the one that comes on by default. And there was no way to turn the camera around. This was on my phone and your mileage may differ though.
Give it some time though as this is the early release and will have bugs. I have to say again though that the smoothness of this rom is unreal.

Tried everything, verified md5, wiped it raw, tried newest Philz and TWRP. Cannot get this bad boy to boot. Just bootloops over and over again. Sigh.. This build don't like my phone.
