joker97: When will I get it on my s4 (official or custom)? Christmas 2015?


There is now an unoffical, Quite buggy version of CyanogenMod 12 (lollipop) on XDA. It has quite a few things broken like the cellular radio and sound doesnt work. But I had a play with it and its really nice!


ASide from being completely useless it sounds brilliant...

..Why release a ROM that makes half the phone pointless.

They will come down soon. If you cannot wait forever it down using frame services

KiwiNZ: I don't expect my S5 and Tabs to be updated until sometime in 2015. I have 2013 Nexus7 that would like to see Lollipop in action.

Woke up this morning (10:30) to find the update waiting on my Nexus 5. All went smoothly and I am now getting used to the new colours and stuff. Don't like the keyboard as much for my tired old eyes but will get over that as I use it.

Received on my N5 this morning about 10:30 am. Seems really laggy and not noticing any performance improvements.

Yeah I tend to agree. Had to reload all my widgets (they stopped displaying anything) and missing the gallery app (the photos app takes so long to load videos sometimes) along with the easy way of putting the phone from normal/silent/vibrate mode. How do you put it in proper silent mode with no vibrate? Doesn't seem very intuitive.

Still waiting for my Nexus 7 update. Anyway, the lagginess and lack of performance was a day one issue for me. My N5 is now sweet and better performing. I am assuming that the lagginess was caused by background encryption after the update?

After saying I wouldn't, I did upgrade last night.
So far, only one issue and that is wish Power Toggles no longer letting me quickly turn on/off Internet Access via Mobile Carrier - it now goes to the settings page.

With the 2012 model you need to clear the cache after upgrade. Plenty of info online about this

Yep found the same thing with Power Toggle.  Maybe they'll do a Lollipop update.  After the update  I had no 3G and found that the APN had been disabled then I had to find where to turn on data.  One thing I don't like with this update in the Bluetooth icon.   It looks the same as to whether you're connected or not. In ICS  at least it went dark when you were not connected..
