Android L leaked for Samsung Galaxy S5

http://www.phonehorn.com/2014/10/android-l-leaked-samsung-galaxy-s5
Looks like Samsung is getting ready to update the beast as soon as Google unveils Android L to public and has started internal testing. Do watch the video preview and visit source for more info. Sorry for no download links as its very buggy and unstable currently

Well, IMHO, I can't see a big difference, but thats because of TW

I like the animations, wonder why the statusbar isn't changing color like the action bar (probably a bug)

More excited for the roms to come.
Touchwiz just ruins it for me.

Rom leak? Or only video

Just a video. Very buggy and laggy atm.

I've never had strong feelings about TW one way or the other, but that may be because I just picked up my first Samsung phone a few months ago. I'm really looking forward to seeing the changes in L.

If there will be no GPE with L I'll switch to Nexus 6

They probably will..... 8 months from now....but I'll be right there with you bro in the nexus 6 forums I just can't wait that long if I already waited so long for aosp on this phone, I just gotta see the phone in person, I never really liked the note series due to its massive size, but if It feels comfortable in the hand I will definitely make the jump, if not nexus 5... S5 had so much potential to be a better phone but with all these damn bugs (battery drainage on idle, audio issues when recording a video, choppy video for 1080p, whatsapp mic still sounds too low)...and Samsung not releasing the right source codes this phone was a disaster... Nothing compared to the s4 forums... *sigh's*

Awww Jesus Christ!!!!!! Wtf!!! See I knew it! And some ppl over at my thread "Android L and Touch Wiz" were doubting Samsung wouldn't ruin it! See I just knew it, how in the F$%& would android L still be present if they got their damn skin over it! Where are the shadows? The animated clicks? Where is the depth for f#%$ sakeeeee!!!! And then there's always AOSP tho right?...smh you know how long that's gonna take to get running on our phoneeeee?!?! Aosp 4.4.4 took like 5 months... Now imagine android L for CyanogenMod... Guess I'm gonna just have to sell my phone... *sighs*

I'm just bothered that all this waiting is always for nothing, and we paid a valued amount for a great spec'd phone but we can't get the best out of it, for f$!# sake is processor (801) is newer than the nexus 5 (800 chip) but the N5 is faster. ..WTF!!! so the reason they feed us this crap is because we are OK with it, so Samsung just keeps screwing us in the a$$ cold, how we pay more for a phone that isn't better than a nexus, and it could of all been better without that TW S!#/ they put in there.... but... we're OK with it... right? Because it's just a phone... right?
That's not the case with nexus phones because they rooooock!!!!! Plus it's made by a younger generation (google)

i find the s5 on touchwiz fine. some apps i personally dont like the look of so i replace with stock kitkat ones. but i dont have any slowdown

I don't like TW eighter, but to sell my phone for it ? Don't think so....
I just installed Go Launcher Ex (my favorite launcher for years already) and remove all the bloatware with Titanium Backup which I don't need or want.
Result : clean rom to my likings

So why did you buy an S5 if you knew you hated TouchWiz and the "lag" (I don't even have any lag on my S5, and my last phone was a Nexus).
Do you people buy Samsung phones just to complain about them? Buy a different brand, it's really not so hard.

protip: Open S voice, go to settings, disable home activation, disable S voice. Congratulations. You have the smoothness of an AOSP ROM without the stupid bugs.

Ohmigosh, the passion...
Got a Note 3 with close to stock ROM. Modding it made it feel and look really not like TouchWiz. No lag, no s**t.
Imagine the Google Launcher when it gets L updated.
Imagine what Wanam's wonders are going to look like after he gets hold on L TouchWiz.
Also, reports claim that even the dev preview of L gets better battery life on the Nexus 5, so AOSP is going to be even better.
Calm your whatevers-that-make-you-mad and be happy that you have first world problems.

Should I root my Moto G 2nd Gen??

As the title says should I root my moto g?
I am not sure because I got this device a month ago and it is working fine, but I am missing my root apps and ****, and I am worried about the warranty, can I get it back after I root.
I am on dual Sim model 1098
Thank you[emoji5]

Your warranty will be void if you unlock bootloader, no matter you root your phone or not.
for now there is no exploit to root phone w/o unlocking bootloader so if you want to root you have to unlock bootloader which will void warranty

I'm going to wait until the "big" update before unlock, root because they have not released the kernel source yet. there's no custom Roms yet either.
no whiners

Thank you for your reply, I have decided not to root my phone and wait till custom Roms arrive, I hope that Motorola will do it asap, after the BIG update...
Thank you everyone..

One reason to root your phone is to get Greenified and Lion Tamer installed. These two apps combined help get my battery from lasting most of the day to a full day. And I have a 4 hours of screen on time, with hard use.

Wow really???
Turn I can think of rooting, but losing my warranty would be a big loss...

I have had my phone for about three weeks now and have yet to find a reason that I cannot live without rooting. It runs great, and my battery life is more than sufficient. To void my warranty for very little gan just doesn't make sense to me.
Maybe when there are some decent "Lollipop" custom ROM's I may consider it again. But that will be several months down the road. And by then I will be out of warranty.

Considering that the Kernel Source for the X 2nd Gen just dropped on Github and that the G 2nd Gen will be next, I say why not
I'm very anxious to see what devs will do with the Sources

-------------------------

I rooted my phone to get screen casting working on my chromecast !! Moto G2 does not support screen casting on chromecast officially !

Trying to make the Moto G (2nd) act like it's a Moto X is a waste of effort . (IMHO)
It like putting dual exhaust and chrome headers on a "Rice Rocket".
It's just a great little old cheap phone.
I have a low budget phone and am buying a excellent tablet such as the Nexus 9.

What is the problem with rooting the phone and putting a custom ROM on it?
It's not about "pimping" it out, I want features that i'm missing from my Nexus 4 which are purely software and that can not be adequately replicated with crap like Xposed.
Also, I consider Xposed malware as it is essentially a vulnerability (yes, I know, it depends on the Module, but still).

I should of clarified my position better.
The Moto G is the first phone that I haven't rooted.... (yet)
However you can be sure when I get my Nexus 9 I'll be screwing around with all the rom's and features as their made available.

Ah, I see
No harm done then
sent from my Moto G 2nd Gen

I didn't rooted mine yet, but there's a few reasons for me to root:
Ads are anoying as fu*k;
Xposed framework for me is essential;
And a bunch of other apps that i need root to use. I'm just waiting the lollipop to root

Moto G is the first phone I didn´t root right at the start til now and because of this I must say that I never ever thought that there are so many ads! I´t s a headache,all that crap.
So I consider to root just for Adaway. Ok,Titanium and some other apps are not bad to have too.
But is it better to wait until lollipop? Returning to stock seems not to be that easy. For me it´s a hard decision.

Really ads are a fuc*king headache, I have been looking for some way to disable ads without root, but there isn't a way, sadly this is one of the things I would root for...

You are rich my friend you can buy anything you want, for people like us who only have a budget of 100 to 150 bucks this phone is great, Now for me I won't be able to buy anything phone or tablet till next year ?, I wish I could buy nexus 9, I think it is priced some 28k₹, That's like too much for me right now...
I wish I could have money like you people..
Thank you for your reply...[emoji6]

Why there is so little roms?

I wanna buy Moto G 2nd but there is so little roms. There will be more? Somebody will make group of developers? I wanna phone with roms ;(

Because the device is just 4 months old.

Give it time, the Cyanogenmod build sounds like it's progressing nicely, and once that reaches a good point there's usually a flood of other roms.

Who needs roms as long as Motorola still supporting lollipop until this moment

Need Suggestions

Hey guys.I need some suggestions about moto x.I'm planning to get one but after reading so many negative comments about latest lollipop update,I'm not sure if I should get it.
I'm gonna ask some questions and I hope you will answer me.
1: How's the performance with official LP?My xperia sp becomes sluggish after 1-2 days so I have to reboot it.
2: How's the battery life?I easily get 4-5 hours of SoT with xperia sp.(I know it has bigger battery than moto x but i think battery life should be about same or only litte less than that.)I don't use mobile data,just wifi.Little bit gaming and messaging.Mostly fb and youtube.

Nothing Negative if you keep it STOCK

I have been using the phone for the past 5 days on 5.1 Lollipop. I bought it 15 months back on its Launch Date in India.
I never rooted it or unlocked the Bootloader. I am in stock from start.
Installed Lollipop, backed up my data and did a reset (this is what I do after every update)
1. No performance issues. its butter smooth. (and no matter what happens, I used to reboot my phone every night)
2. Same 4-5hrs SoT like many other devices (with Moto Display ON; 4 hours on 3g for Whatsapp, Gmail; I didn't install any game after the reset though; also Black Wallpaper) and with 20% left :angel:
The first gen X would be a good and value for money phone to buy now. Also note, 5.1 would be the last official update.
My favorite phone any day...

Thanks.So you are using totally stock LP and getting decent performance and battery life.I would probably root it to remove unwanted apps and bloatware.

Back from my Moto RAZR days, Motorola never updated any Retail (especially Asian) version for more than 1.5 years.
Who says NO to an update!
I didnt read it anywhere. That's based on my experience with Moto from 2.3.5

Sorry for bumping this thread again.One last question.
If I get xt1058, other than at&t,i'll be able to unlock its bootloader from moto website right?
And all moto x's carrier variant have a logo on their back?
I have seen many moto x that don't have carrier logo on their back but they are xt-1058 models.

LG Urbane revival

As with the AW 2.0 Update from today, can we expect getting this forum active again? I am hoping to see an optimized kernel and rooted version of urbane to get maximum performance as i feel especially google assistant has become somewhat sluggish....

As am I :good::good:
I've had a kernel tree and ramdisk sitting on the backburner since October until AW 2.0 came out, was actually planning on releasing it for 1.5 if we didn't get any update from LG by the end of the month. Of course, now it'll need to be rebased over the new kernel source. Will do a TWRP build w/ f2fs support as well unless someone beats me to it.
little note, if anyone's cp'ing, don't pick the 2 squashfs commits, they're incorrect, just haven't had the time to do that myself

It is really very hard to tell you what is better in AW1.5 because almost all new thing in AW20 is bad! Gonna try to summarize in few words:
AW20 is a big change in the concept: from the AW1.5, smartwatch is a extension of your smartphone. AW2.0 is almost a smartphone in you wrist. Bad functionality, bad performance and bad concept! (I already have a smartphone and I don´t want another one in my wrist!).

I just joined the smartwatch club and both of mine had AW2.0 .. so i'm not sure how it compares to AW1.5 but I do know I wish it did have more stand alone capability.. I would like to be able to see all my text messages and respond to certain ones and avoid taking my phone out of my pocket..
I do hope there will be more travel here on this forum.. doesn't seem like there is much activity anymore
