80 hours of uptime and not a single launcher redraw or very recent app falling out of RAM. I'm pretty confident in saying that 5.0.1 fixed the awful memory issues on the Nexus 5.

Just gonna wait to see what else Google breaks. Cellular? The ability to turn on? Only time will tell.

After about 60 hours the redraws started again for me, so I wouldn't be to confident.

Which is a pretty poor showing considering that Lollipop was billed as an update especially built for lower-end devices. The aggressive App culling is something that should really be fixed, especially since it doesn't seem necessary at all - I have a poo poo-ton of Apps open on my N6 and even so I'm a hair under 1 GB RAM used typically (unless Muzei decides to run crazy and blow up to 300 MB).
Pretty sure is was KitKat that was billed for lower specs.

Also the aggressive app culling is a bug (system memory leak) rather than just a poor design choice, tons of people are suffering it across different devices.

I've been having a problem with my Nexus 4 running Lollipop. I was running 5.0 when the issue appeared, tried updating to 5.0.1, still around. The background doesn't expand to the menu buttons at the bottom or persist underneath the app selection, whereas on my Nexus 5, it does. Here are some pictures:

Change your launcher, Nexus 5/6 come with GNL, 4 and 7's don't.

It's an anything with lollipop issue, caused by the screen off/on

I hope Google's going to release 5.0.2, which should contain that fix for the memory leak, any time soon. The need to reboot the phone gets annoying. That they're not hotfixing this is frankly ridiculous.

5.0.2 came out before the leak was marked as fixed

While you're right that others are worse than Qualcomm, Qualcomm themselves aren't always so solid. The APQ8064 that was used in the Nexus 4 never did work right from a radio perspective and they ran hot.

So neat observation on a Droid Turbo.

My line of work occasionally has me wear night vision goggles. Yesterday while wearing some I had set my phone on my desk and noticed it was blooming them out. Apparently, at the four corners of the screen and the center top near the camera are flashing LEDs of some sort, emitting in the IR spectrum. I flipped up the nvd's and caught nothing in visible light. When the active notification screen comes on, only the center top one pulses. Otherwise they all pulse at random intervals.

I know this thing has sensors galore for active notification and all the neat moto features but I didn't know the screen had THAT many on it.

Proximity sensor uses IR, god knows about the rest.

Edit: Obviously I checked that system.img is present, also tried re-downloading the entire image. I've never seen that "max download size" thing before.

Use the included flash-all.bat file? It also does bootloader and baseband, so skipping them might have something to do with it?

Correct, no OTAs. If you got the 5.1 image from Google, then it's not something you can flash on your phone. There are instructions near the top of this page for how to flash. If you want to preserve your data, edit the script file and remove the -w flag.

Actually not correct. Nexus 5 update .zip files still patch individual files and not the full system image.

Who cares what it patches when it won't run at all without an unaltered system image?

For the question he answered I'm pretty sure hooah is essentially correct in that if you're rooted you cannot apply an OTA now.
The reason what it patches matters is why I mentioned it.

L updates aren't supposed to work on altered phones because they directly patch the filesystem, so it must be as the .zip expects it.

Older updates work on individual files, if one is there that shouldn't be it doesn't matter as it's ignored by the .zip

N5 updates still use the old method for whatever reason, so you can go ahead.

I lost my Nexus 4 (dropped it into a Danish harbor!) while on vacation. I was just going to get the Nexus 5, though that appears to be only available from Amazon. There's a 32 GB version for sale with 4G ($500) and without 4G in the US ($380). Is it a big deal whether I have this or not? I don't use much data as it is.

No such thing as a non-4G Nexus 5, my best guess is the one without is the European model.

Since upgrading to lollipop and apps have gained the ability to change the colour of the notification bar, all of the google ones work correctly but a whole bunch of other apps change it to a horrific neon blue, I imagine because they're not updated. How can I change the default colour back to black?

Black is the default, if it's gone blue, it's deliberate.

On a completely different note, installing Motorola factory images is annoying as gently caress. You need a special flavor of fastboot, have to flash like ten separate components for some reason, and all of it with weird cryptic responses in the terminal. I've been spoiled by Nexus devices.

If memory serves you can feed it an XML file and it takes care of all the individual commands.

Google kept it on Nexus devices that didn't start on Lollipop. But it is not on the N9 nor the N6.

So, it's the reverse. Your 'manufacturer' decided to retain a legacy widget after upgrade, but the power control widget is not considered "stock" android anymore.
That I did not know, but I'm not surprised. It's pretty redundant now those things live on the notification shade.

Hangouts did this really annoying thing in the 5.1.1 update. It used to be chats I had with friends through gchat and SMS showed up in the same screen and it was pretty seamless and easy to follow, everything in one place. All of a sudden in a day it changed so now you have to switch between SMS and gchat. They added a menu dropdown, which wasn't obvious at all, that has you select whether you're in SMS or gchat which is just an extra step you now have to do. There was no indication that it had changed and I had to dick around looking for my chats with my friends overseas and until I figured it out the only way I knew how to switch back and forth was to wait for an SMS or gchat to come in and get there via the notifications. It was like it went backwards from easy and convenient to making you do an extra step to see messages that came in through a different service and I can't figure out what problem they were solving by doing it that way,
I've read there is a bug that is buggering up merged conversations for some people, maybe that's what you're experiencing?
