Just wanna tell those testing Android L, please don't come complaining this and that cant work, crash here crash there.

Developer preview for a reason.

Don't test Android L if your N5 is your daily driver.

 

[Harvley]

Willing to give Android L a shot, but looking through XDA, the flashable files are still buggy.

Hahahha, just install in multi rom.
Can switch back anytime.
Android L is for developers, not your daily driver rom.

I'm actually very tempted to try this to test out Android L.

One question though, will my wallpapers, themes, changed icons, everything else on my stock ROM remain if I try Android L and decide to boot back later?

Don't think so. Should be flash all gone.

U can always backup ur files first before flashing.

Thanks ykeen. Think I'll just play the patience game and wait for the official L update.

I got PA, CM , ubuntu and android L in my phone.

One rom does not affect the others.

You could boot into any rom at boot

Sorry if this is mentioned before..Anyone knows how come my Nexus 5 is unable to update to 4.4.4? I am still at 4.4.3. There was one time asking me to update to 4.4.4 but when updating, an error came up. After that, the phone is restarted and I check for updates, it says no update available and I am stuck at 4.4.3..

Edit: Can't wait for Android L! To enjoy Android L, we need to root right?

Don't need to root to flash Android L factory images.
Just that your data will be wiped.

But be warned, quite a number of apps are crashing because of the newer ART runtime.
