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?

Whats the screen say or look like?

You can attach an image by going to the little paperclip looking icon from the web.
 
Sadly, the picture is on my ipad, so I don't know how I could get the images URL. But basically it looks like this...

Except the top says "MultiROM TWRP 2014-09-14 (v2.8.0)

2:12 PM Battery: 64%+"


EDIT: Sadly I seem to be completely failing with the image uploading part. Wait, got it to work, sorta

Also I bought this phone used from someone on Swappa. I don't remember reading anything about him adding different ROMs, but this is my first Android phone so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about. That is a likely truth
 
It looks like the bootloader is unlocked and a custom recovery is installed. I'm not sure if the os is stock or a custom rom. Your best option is probably to install the factory image, but a full image install will wipe the device. Doing a partial image install works most of the time, but not all the time and will sometimes require a factory reset because it didn't install properly.
 
Haha, if only I fully knew what all that meant. Like I said, this was owned previously, so I don't know if the previous owner downloaded a custom rom. I know I didn't. All I installed was Nova Prime and AC Display. But how would I go about installing the factory image?
 
Thank you so much! I'll start working on this and see how it goes. Again, thanks!
 
From those of you that have been running it for a little bit longer than me, does battery life start to stabilize after a while? Mine is estimating about 8 hours left from a 80% full battery. I'm assuming I just need to let it settle
 
That prediction is solely based on the current usage. So for example if you keep using the phone for an hour and you go from 100% to 80%, it's more or less going to assume your phone will only last 5 hours on a single charge. So don't worry.
 
So I did the side load of the OAT, aside from a driver issue while the phone was in bootloader mode, no issues.

I just noticed...has the Gallery app been replaced with Photos?

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

The OTA's don't care if you are unlocked or rooted. They do care if your system files are altered or missing. If you are using a stock-based ROM, you should get updates normally. If it has been modified, the OTA will probably be available and download, but you won't be able to install it.

I've tried it before. I was able to see and download the (kitkat) OTA on my Nexus 4, but it would not actually install. It errored out in the process.

So long as you are flashing an official google ROM, OTAs should work normally afterwards.
 
The new lollipop OTA does a check on the entire system, not just what its patching anymore.

Chances are it will fail even if just rooted.
 
I think the latest L release is good, I'm at 55% battery with 2hrs and 13m SOT so far, that's pretty good IMO, using Franco's latest r67 as well
 
I wish I could join in on the fun you are having. Some family medical stuff has kind of taken over --it will be alright in the long run, not fishing for sympathy-- but right now, with DU 4.4.4 rock solid on my Nexus 5, I'm leaving things as they are while all this consumes me. May be December even before I can get back on the train to Lollipop.

Have fun, folks. I will be back!
 
Anyone know a way to check the time on battery in the stock battery settings? Its got an estimate of time remaining where it used to be
 
When you flash a factory image, you will get any OTA updates. The only time you won't is when you are running a custom ROM or a preview.
