get a google voice number, activate it as voicemail in hangouts. Done.
The integrated voicemail has been there since 4.2 i believe, maybe even earlier.
not there anymore. You have to use priority to get "silent w/ alarms" or none for fully silent

Some people got it on their Nexus 5? I'm still waiting 
It does. It's probably your choice of launcher that is to blame. Just wait for an update to your launcher that is fully compatible with Lollipop.

its really easy to flash the OTA yourself instead of waiting for it to be pushed!
Install Google Now Launcher. It's DA BEST
1. Where is this gallery app?
2. Slide the notification bar down twice to find the rotation option.

Got it installed in my N4 half an hour ago. So smooth and sexy.
I'm not sure why Google still has the generic email and messaging app available but not the generic gallery app but I just found out you can hide system apps so win-win for me I guess. Also I saved some precious space by removing the hindi and korean keyboard apps google mysteriously pushes too.
swipe the top screen.

When I slide it down twice, it gives me flashlight, airplane, gps and that "share screen" option (or whatever is called it in english). No screen rotation here.
About the gallery app, it seems the standard now is only that one that pratically forces google plus down my throat, and that they dont have anymore that more simole gallery app that we had in KitKat.
Wow this performs like dogshit on my Nexus 10.
It wasn't exactly speedy before, but everything just lags badly now.
Edit: I think it's specifically input lag. I can stream video and such without any problems.
I take this back. Must have still been performing background stuff. Performance and responsiveness seem on par with 4.4.4 after about 30 minutes of being up.

Try going into Settings > Display and then toggling rotation on/off. It might cause the quick toggle to appear.

I tried it aswell, but no option there either!! :/
we can even go so far as to say that the only option being toggle was a terrible step back as well. I should be able to turn on/off then long press and go directly to teh settings page for that toggle.
BTW, i have screen rotation on my N5 quick toggle

Wait, is this improved battery life google claims 5.0 has is this battery saver mode or is it some general improvement on battery usage?

The wait for 5.0 for a Moto X 1st Gen is excruciating.

That's weird. What model do you have?
Got the OTA on my Nexus 5 this morning. Gallery app is gone and replaced by Photos...thank Christ! I'm also really liking that by default each tab in Chrome appears as a seperate process, so the task button will display each open tab along with all open apps that can be closed.
And I can finally get rid of my flashlight app
Edit: I've found one thing I don't like so far. Previously when viewing all open apps I would close what I needed and then tap anywhere outside of the open applications to take me back to the home screen. I can't do that now. Tapping outside of the available apps does nothing.

In the "about the phone" menu, it says: LRX210.
Check the accessibility menu.
It's under accessibility options for some reason.
And when I played around, I clicked the color inversion option, and now there's a damned irremovable invert color toggle option

Thaaanks!! Love u both! =D
I also downloaded the old gallery apk! Now everything is fine again!
Doesn't break it. They appear just fine, you have the option of making the content available right at the lock screen (and you can set sensitivity from there if you have a pin/pattern lock) or just straight global sensitivity.
nah, it was only default on the 5 and future
It would reset to a clean install of Lollipop.

I'm updated and running on my nexus 4! As with kit kat, the installation itself was problematic. I thought I'd caused a bootloop at one point, because after it took forever with a filled "Installing system updates" progress bar I forced resets and even went into the recovery menu a couple times. Eventually it finished that itself and started booting, but took forever on the fancy 4 colours animation. After a reset that eventually finished too, and 158 app updates later I was in.
So far I've experienced a lot of lagging, and trying to add a widget to the Google launcher home screen resulted in Google Search crashing, but that has gotten less and less as time goes on.
Actually using it, my biggest fear, which was about vibrate/silent, was a result of misinformation. I'm perfectly happy with vibrate being a volume and silent being a setting of its own because of the additional time you can set it for. And priority is a fantastic feature that I've been fons of never since I noticed it in a friend's iPhone and I have missed not having just this past week.
I've uninstalled TeslaLED and disabled Power Toggles and Tasker because of the additions to the OS itself, which is lovely. I like that they've made more use of the on screen keys, moving the keyboard switcher from the notifications. Nice touch. I'm a fan of Chrome tabs being mixed in with recents. That works for me. My favourite feature remains the smart unlock, if only for its novelty. And as I proof read this paragraph, I noticed the new cursor arrow. It's better than the big blue one. Perhaps none of these things are new to anyone reading this, but I'm pleased with L. If only I didn't have to press back twice to get out of toggles. A quick double press doesn't do the trick, unfortunately.
Is there any way of removing things from the toggles pulldown? I tried invert colours and now it's decided to take up residence on that screen. It's not in the way as such (although it does introduce a new line of icons) but its presence is unnecessary.
Edit:
M.Bluth - nope, a downloaded half an app before cancelling and it was fine.
Edit 2: my new night time brightness in Lux is -70%, because there's so much white everywhere in Google launcher. Blinding.

Yeah, I got mine today. My girlfriend, who also has a Nexus 5, did not received that yet; neither my fater with his Nexus 4.
I have an HTC One which was originally a carrier phone which I unlocked and installed the GPE ROM onto.
Two questions:
1. Will I get an OTA update?
2. If yes, is that going to work or should I wait for a packaged ROM and update manually?
I have gotten and applied several OTA updates without any issues already. It seems like an OTA update should work, but I'm a bit worried. It's been a while since I've done bootloader-y stuff.

I haven't had the time to test it outdoors, but I love that automatic brightness has adjustable bias and will choose the lowest brightness in darkness. I hate having to turn the automatic brightness on and off all the time and it was impossible to see what I did in sunlight.
It was really sluggish just after the first boot, but now my Nexus 4 feels faster than on 4.4 and all my apps work so far. It is also hilarious to scroll through my 100+tabs in the app switcher.

Finally got the update tonight on my Nexus 5.
Was worried it would have screwed up my iCloud mail/calendar settings. Due to some weird bug in 5.0 I can't add them on my Nexus 9 (have two-auth enabled) but it seems if they existed pre-5.0 it still works.
