Nexus 5 running Android "L" (Benchmarks, Boot Vid and Bat stats)- You have questions?

Nope. Same as it was before. But remember, this is a Beta. They could add more features.
Hopefully in the finished product , you can scroll them like on SlideLock.
I notice that it puts your Google acct pic in the right corner now. Is that an option or always there?
Yeah, I noticed that too. It is taking your G+ profile pic. I guess Google is really integrating G+ into everything.
And I have not found a way to disable it either.
That looks nice and ugly at the same time. Why such a noticeable break after each notification?
It is standard now apparently?

No problem. My Nexus 5 was a spare phone, so didn't care if L killed it. I understand your hesitation on a Beta build.
About 10 minutes on the boot animation screen. Don't worry. It's normal.
And did you do a fresh install or flash all images except for userdata.img?
Fresh install. My Nexus 5 was wiped clean and set on the shelf for a while. Only thing I did was load 4.4.4 on it last night. Never logged in or set up the phone, then today did a clean install via fastboot flash-all.bat
Ok I am about to try that on my Nexus 7. I flashed all but userdata and my home button and notification panels don't work.

This for me, too. Instead of panicking, I made dinner.
I wiped everything. Including user data.
This is my daily driver. A little disappointed with the couple of apps that don't work, but the overall experience is good so far.
Yes, I am very surprised. I expected a bit more bugs in places. Considering ART is still new and many apps haven't even started upgrading to the new play services, everything works extremely well.
Gotta keep digging though.
BTW, which keyboard you using? I'm liking the 'material' option of the Google stock keyboard.
I'm a big stock android guy. I like the new keyboard a lot. I'm pretty bullish on the entire experience.
After re-flashing system.img on my Nexus 7 and the home button still not working, I am doing a clean install. Waiting for it to boot up now. I backed up apps through Helium beforehand to be safe. If it works out well I will likely do this to my Nexus 5.
I told you art worked just fine
I'm jealous gpe doesnt get the preview, nice thread
I don't know if you care about flash player, but I'm curious if the hacked xda flash player that works on kit kat + dolphin browser w/ jetpack still works.

Stock Email app still doesn't support IMAP push notifications
And to think, this OS comes from the makers of the most widely used email service.
----------
The new L release also won't let me update any of my Google Apps (Music, Search, G+, Camera, Drive, Calendar, etc.).

Looks like you can upgrade them manually. Not sure why they're not auto updated.
Edit: Not all the apps you listed, but a few Google apps.
I couldn't update them manually as I got an error every time. But I figured out what it was. I had to force Google Play to update. Once that updated I could update the Google apps just fine.
I think so. There was like 20 of them.
Right now I'm trying to root it. Anybody have any luck yet?
