I thought the Lollipop update for Android L was being rolled out. I'm on stock 4.4.4 and rooted. I also have xposed framework and Gravitybox mods added. Could this be why I am not getting the OTA update?

No, it rolls out in stages. But once you get it it won't work with xposed installed. Also, you have to be on the stock recovery if you're not already.

I actually just received the ota today and didn't change anything at all. What happens if I attempt to download the update even though I'm not on stock recovery?
It will fail and be a waste of time.

If you're on TWRP you need to be on 2.6.3.3 or higher
FLASH THE ROM THEN FLASH THE SUPERUSER ZIP AFTER. THIS UPDATE WILL REMOVE YOUR RECOVERY.

It takes a long time to flash so be patient, if you get a LOKI error and it says 'FAILED' ignore it, wipe Dalvik and Cache after you flash, and reboot.

No custom recovery so no ROM flashes until someone finds a new exploit. Not certain about the downgrade to older firmware, I'm sure that you could though.
Any new features make it worth upgrading from a flex Rom?

Flash question
What if im not on stock rom but a custom rom. Can i flash this anyways?
Wait.. how are we supposed to flash Superuser.zip if our recovery has been replaced? And is this the TMO version? It hasnt even been released yet.

Few observations:
- You can now enable the transparent status bar setting in NOVA launcher!!
- Group Messaging is now featured
- Emoji's don't send as MMS anymore
- Weather animation on secure lockscreen
- You get Immersive mode now with apps that support it.
They disabled Google Wallet which sucks but I'm sure their will be a workaround eventually.

Before the installation of the ota of android 5.0 I have to unistall xposed because it doesn't work with ART, right?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
You'll have to uninstall xposed for any ota anyway regardless of lollipop
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
And flash stock recovery. And hopefully nothing else was altered in the system that could affect the Ota.
Personally, I'd backup my apps and just flash stock 4.4.4. As soon as I hear the Ota is out that is.
Tho really, I always wait a couple days and flash it with fastboot, clean. ?
Ok, so I have to unistall Xposed...
I rooted the device with Towelroot, so there isn't particular problems with the system? Or towelroot makes something different to system files unlike root?

Although why OTA anyway? If you're rooted with a custom recovery, you can just flash a pre-rooted L zip which will be available before the OTA Anyway

So use flashify to install twrp recovery and then you will have a way to flash. Doing any phone/tablet modding is highly dangerous if you don't have a computer available to you in case something messes up...
#stayparanoid
I just grab the files from google and flash my phone clean with fastboot. I'll Add the recovery and root a few days later (if available). I like my phone the way it is and don't like to change just for OTA.
Ok, I'll probably use flashify, thanks everybody

Am I correct in assuming that xposed does not work under lollipop because of art?

Correct. And no.

That's a problem for me and might make me not accept the upgrade. I really like xposed and xgravity and my nexus 5 is fast enough.
I'm sure it won't be long til xposed will be updated.

I hope you're right but it may not be an easy task because of the different ways dalvik and art handle things.
Then we'll need to rely on custom roms for customizing.. Until xposed does work.

Hello,
The rooting process was very simple and smooth, I rooted the device because I wanted to try different fonts, everything was succesfful, no issues. Since I don't have much knowledge about "Your phone's life after rooting", I would like to ask you . .
Sagar Khanapurkar
I'll be getting the notification of "Android L is avalible, tap to download and install". . . will everything go fine If I just tap and update my Nexus 5 to Android L via OTA, Do I need to unroot the device first and then upgrade it to Android L ?
Nothing should go wrong if I update it officialy via OTA, right ?
I don't care if my root access goes after updating, so it's ok for me.
Thank you

This is all covered in sticky threads. Read OTA Help-Desk which you can get to via my signature.
However I would recommend learning more about being rooted and not taking OTA's at all, as that's super-noob

If you've changed any of the system files the OTA will fail. You can have root and apply an OTA as that's not checked when doing the update but anything will have to be reverted to stock before the OTA will apply successfully

If you're going to live in the rooted world, you should learn to do things properly. OTA is the worst way of managing a rooted phone, which is why I said OTA is super-noob. If someone is reliant on OTA updates, they probably should not be rooted in the first place.

You just need to learn before jumping in. Root should not be taken lightly. If you're not willing to learn, don't root. If you are - then do. The problem is if you root then dont do things properly, you cause more work for eveyone here who has to try and help you when things go wrong, so either:
1) Learn
2) Unroot
3) Don't expect help
I recommend 1.

I have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 KTU84P running a stock image that was updated OTA.
I've been getting the OTA update all day but it keeps failing to install. The error says there is an issue with the file in the /cache/ folder. I've been able to update OTA in the past until this version.
I wouldn't mind just using Nexus Root Toolkit to update but to do that don't I have to unroot and wipe the device? I just want to update without wiping the device.
Is it possible?
