[Update: Nexus 5] [Flash All The Things] Lollipop Nexus OTA ZIP File Roundup

Seems like I could take this update and push it straight from adb without having to unlock? Since I'm on KTU84P?

Dark theme is working on Nexus 7 with lollipop.

Haven't checked on the tablet, but on the Nexus 5 some of the menu have white text on white background so you can't see anything.

In theory yes if you're 100% stock. Making system modifications like busybox or xposed will cause it to fail.

I'm bone stock. This seems easier so I might just try this.

Hello,

If I manually install Lollipop on my Nexus 5, will I receive future OTA updates or will I also have to manually install them too?

Thanks

If you install the official stock builds, either by ota or factory image, you can still get official updates from Google. It's only when installing a custom rom that you lose this ability.

or if the user makes system changes using root ability

Once I can figure out why ADB isn't recognizing my phone I will try flashing the OTA

The OTA will still try to install though if it's a stock build, it will just fail until the changes are removed.

Possibly a driver issue?

sounds like a driver problem. What drivers did you install? Does your phone show up in the device manager? (if so, what does it show up as?)

Shows up as android device. I have USB debugging enabled and I think it's in media mode

GuitarG20 · Nov 13, 2014

Think I got it to show up, only when i was already in sideload mode. It's a string of letters and numbers followed by sideload. Sound correct?

I'm not gonna post a pic because I don't want to show what is probably my serial number

sherlock5545 · Nov 13, 2014

Yesterday I had issues making it recognise the phone too. I reinstalled all the drivers and then it worked perfectly fine.

That sounds about right. Should be good to go from there.

GuitarG20 · Nov 13, 2014

Alright, wish me luck!

drbugsmn · Nov 13, 2014

I had the same driver issue after booting into recovery, adb saw it before I booted into recovery, once in recovery it didin't (had the same problem on the last kit kat update). I followed this guide while booted in recovery and it worked. The update is patching stuff right now.

GuitarG20 · Nov 13, 2014

Mine is in the patching phase of the OTA as well... will update here if it works or not

It's rebooting with the new bootscreen so hopefully everything went well

...and L is so darn pretty

Thats a good sign! I'm in the middle of "Optimizing App 108 of 142". I hear this is the part that takes a while.

drbugsmn · Nov 13, 2014

ok, I'm lollipoped! woot!

g01851 · Nov 13, 2014

One new feature I loved is the 'tap to copy accounts/apps' from another 5.0 device... was great since I was installing on both my N5 and my N7

sherlock5545 · Nov 13, 2014

Yeah, I used that feature to copy from my Nexus 7 to my Nexus 5. It's great. Unfortunately with Nova it doesn't restore the screen layout, but I had a cloud back up for that, so everything is back as it was before. I just had to configure some of the accounts. Totally awesome.

Quickstart guide to lollipop .

The ok google stuff appears to have been tweeked, but still no wakeup of a sleeping device. Was hoping that would sneak in.

drbugsmn · Nov 13, 2014

So, dumb question, but how does phone encryption work? I'm mostly curious with respect to mounting the phone to move stuff (mp3s, keepass db) to the phone. Is that still possible with the phone encrypted (maybe unlock the screen to allow the mount to work?). How much slower is the phone with encryption on?

I was reading the encryption thread on reddit, it appears the snapdragon has instructions to assist encryption speed, but qualcom has not made them available to AOSP. It seems everyday performance is still good tho.

Hey guys, I'm not really sure where to post this question, but it has to do with Android L update on Nexus 5 so here it goes.

I just got my update notice for L, I was extremely ecstatic. So I immediately downloaded it OTA and hit the "reboot to finish installing" prompt when it appeared. Except when it rebooted, the following screen came up. I have no idea what this is, but I don't know how I can add a picture on here to show you guys. Anyone able to help?
