I'm hoping that I'll be home when it gets released. I can't install it while at work

If I wasn't on a work computer that prohibited driver installation, I'd be flashing it now as well. Alas, I have to wait.

There's probably no going back through recovery initially. Probably going to have to wait for twrp and cwm to update. Only way back right now is probably the factory image.

We'll see. All I did was factory reset from TWRP, extract system boot and radio, and flash.

EDIT:
And she just booted. That took a LONG time.

I'm going to get it set up and play with it for a bit and will have a quick first impressions post in half an hour or so

First boot probably compiles all the ART code, I would think after that it should boot faster

Interesting it has "L" for the version number. I thought we'd at least see Android 4.5 or 5.0 there.

This looks gorgeous. How's the performance on it? Is it smooth or still half backed?

Google is still installing my apps but, so far, I am not having any performance issues. Everything is smooth and I'm not seeing any lag.

The notification screen looks quite a bit different and it is interesting seeing notifications on the lock screen. For those that haven't noticed on the above screen shots, the buttons on the bottom are quite different.
