    I guess I should do a Mike, and slag off the operating system I don’t use, but I just don’t seem to be able to summon the zeal he does.

    I’m sure it’s very good at what it does, as well.

    Come up with something valid and off you go Jamie, or at least something funny. Got any big hand wavey graphs of betterness?

    Spent the last two nights transitioning from Nexus 5 to Xperia Z2. No Lollipop for me for a while…

    If you’ve not had the update pushed to your phone and can’t wait, you can do this:
    http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/13/download-android-5-0-ota-update-nexus-5-7-10-4/

    Interesting update, some things great, some taking some getting used to.

    GPE Edition is out November/December so the customs wont be long after that. I’m more than happy running Android Revolution v22 with a heap of Lollipop apk’s so far. Be interesting to run LP on it though, properly. Mind, they’ll have to update xposed as there’s tonnes of modules I use and LP is ART rather than Dalvik so might hang on a bit.

    edit: SkyDragon GPE Lollipo edition is available if you’re into custom roms.

    How does that differ from just having more than one user, is it using the same account?

    Availability news and options (including non-OTA download) for N5 here. Methinks I’ll wait for the OTA.

    Not arrived here yet, but I just found an easter egg while messing about. If you triple tap on the Android Version number in the settings it sets off on an animation of a Kitkat/Android logo. Might be old news but never seen it before 🙂

    Broke the screen on my 5 (got in the car and it was OK, got out and it was broken…) so holding out for it to come through on my 4! As a slight hijack – can anyone recommend a good replacement screen/digitizer? It’s a minefield, I’m happy to repair it myself…

    Do a long press on the KitKat logo and it does moar stuff.

    (swipe down from top of screen to get rid of said moar stuff )

    I think i read that screen replacement on the nexus 5 is a PITA because the screen is built in to the chassis, however if you bought the phone direct from google there is a subsidised replacement/repair service. Good luck!

    Easter egg on jelly bean is best. Nothing like a good game of flicking the bean 😉

    Still waiting for lollipop on my 2012 N7.

    I have 3 google accounts running 2 work one home. Not gone all the way into it yet but looks like I can separate them and do proper don not disturbs based on that etc and have different screen setups for each (different apps at the front etc)

    Nexus 7 (both WiFi versions) and Nexus 4 now on this link:
    http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/13/download-android-5-0-ota-update-nexus-5-7-10-4/

    This is the OTA file, but you download and apply it manually rather than wait for it to push out from Google’s servers. Installed with no data loss (in theory! Backup anyway etc…):

    Nice Easter Egg in Lollipop – my high score is 0 so far!

    There’s no ‘silent’ any more – you need to mess about with ‘Priority’ notifications rather than just volume down.

    Alarms seem to be missing from the quick settings dropdown.

    Messenger is the new SMS app rolled out quietly if you don’t want to use Hangouts.

    People has become Contacts, but I can’t access all the groups I’d set up – rubbish!

    Calendar is nice – 5 day view only by default – rotate the phone to landscape for 7 day view automatically!

    Spent the last two nights transitioning from Nexus 5 to Xperia Z2. No Lollipop for me for a while…

    And we’re back in the room – Z2 sent back, 2 complete hangs in 4 days and buggy software/touchscreen. Nexus 5 for a while more yet, but still waiting for Lolipop.

    I’ve just faffed around for the best part of an hour with adb, a Nexus 7 and a dodgy USB cable. Managing to wipe my data, I’ve been through the initial setup and then been offered … Lollipop.

    Pushed the OTA to me Nexus 4 day before yesterday…

    It is NICE!

    Seems to run smoother, and there’s definitely a decent improvement in battery life. Can’t wait for more apps to take advantage of the new designs and animations available.

    Just got it OTA in NI. Doesn’t look enormously different but haven’t really looked round that much yet. Battery Saver came up 5 minutes after installing.

    So far, 1 point on the game. It’s hard.

    Any ideas when this will be available for other vendors like Samsung?

    yep 1 point here too, the notification seem to be the biggest change and not taking over the screen for stuff.
