No way.
Maaaan this is awesome! Thank you so much!
No problem, it's hands down the most essential app I have installed.

My Nexus 4 finally got the Google Play Services update that allows locations to be used for smart unlocking. It's SO much better not having to use my PIN or try and get the face recognition to work. When I woke up this morning I had to put my PIN in, but that's the only time so far.
What's the latest on rollouts? I know they halted some of them.

Finally caved had factory reset my n5. God lollipop was running like ass before, much better now, though there are still quite a few design decisions I dislike. Have yet to see any battery life improvement as well

Yep, it's pretty sweet, has been working really well for me. I do have to unlock using my pattern every once in a while (often seems to be when I take the phone off the charger, but I don't know if it's actually related to that), but most of the time it correctly keeps my phone unlocked at/near my home and work, and locked elsewhere.

LOL, I have this issue with 4.4.4 on the Moto G.
the problem is you cannot clear this notification. i've to restart the phone to clear it.

If you have WiFi off as a profile setting for when youre out, how do you make it turn back on and auto connect when you arrive back home?
Aka
Turn off WiFi trigger activates for when you leave your home network.
The trigger to activate "home" profile is connecting to the home WiFi, but your "going out" profile turned wifi off.

Can you trigger it based on which cell tower the phone connects to?

Liking it so far. Galaxy just needs the update now!
They're rolling out 5.0.1 for N7, N9, and N10 users. I'm assuming Google held back the 5.0 update for the majority of N7 users because of the video playback issue. Mine jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 so yeah.

I am
happy to report that it doesn't matter, 5.0 or 5.0.1, I'm still not part of the Lollipop Guild

You need the google now launcher.

I see wifi settings and 5ghz connections are still messed up on 5.0.1. Sometimes I wonder if they even test this shit.

Looks like chrome, maps, and messages were all updated for me. Chrome seems faster and in messages you can change contact bubble colors now.
Animation for messenger is gone, too. Haven't taken a look at Maps yet at all but Chrome is smooth for me, as well. Didn't look too much into all the updates but New & Weather has the option for Dark Theme now, for all those praying for Material Dark in their lives. Aside from that everything seems to be bug fixes and the like. Generic maintenance. Music is something.
When's Hangouts getting material love, though? I liked that app, genuinely. But I love Messenger's simplicity.

That's actually just a list of recently used apps, not running ones. Some might be running, others might not be. And with Lollipop that list is preserved through reboots. Doesn't mean anything more than "here's what you've been doing recently".
I'm starting to think the notification bar in kit kat was MUCH better. Just the way it responds to your finger when you slide it down. In 5.0 you are actually sliding something down from the screen. I liked in 4.4 it was more like the notifications were already there, and you were just revealing the hidding layer by swiping a special glass down from the top. The notifications didn't move at all, you were just revealing them. Plus I don't know how to make notifications bigger now without revealing the larger menu. the flashlight is nice to be built in, but I already had an app for that that would stay at the top of the notification bar.
I hate all persistent notifications, so I'm very glad that they finally built a flashlight widget into the OS.
I kinda agree with you on liking KitKat notification menu better, though.
I do, however, like the new pop-up notifications in Lollipop.
It was just so much more natural to swipe down for notifications then across rather than down twice (if using one hand) or with two fingers. Other than that I'm fond of Lollipop's take on it. Aside from how weird it looks when you pull down notifications in portrait. Size of the centre doesn't change whatsoever with orientation.
I've gotten used to tapping the top to expand the quick settings. Made me dislike it a little less.
I've tried, and I've been unable to make adjustment. Maybe in good time. It was so much more fluid in KK; they should have kept it.

Factory images man! Take out the '-w' in the .bat (or .sh on OSX) file and it won't wipe, it'll be just like an OTA.

Still waiting for this on my Nexus 7.
My 2013 N7 got the OTA last night (5.0.1).
That might be the 444 update.

Sorry, for some reason I assumed you were using Tasker. Where is the setting you are using?
Same. Not feeling this revolutionary new OS at all.

Finally got the update a couple days ago.
I'm pretty impressed with it although it has affected my boot-up time marginally
Worth it for the startup show, I love the final bit of the startup where the animation spells out android in google colours ^_^

Anybody with a 2013 Moto G at all? I saw some pictures of people in India getting 5.0 for the XT1033 (dual SIM version), but I am still to get confirmation of anyone with a XT1032 already with the update. I'm pretty sure Moto has sent the ROM to the carriers but they'll probably take their sweet ass time.
This wait is killing me.
