I've the developer preview and nothing yet.

Since its a dev preview would you not have to flash the image manually anyway ? To get the OTA wouldn't you have to flash back to kit kat ?

I rooted my N7 (2013), but then unrooted using the option in the superuser app. It still has the unlocked symbol on the start up screen. Does this mean that I can't get the ota to android 5 when it rolls out?

That unlock symbol is for the bootloader.

You should be fine along as you have a stock rom and stock recovery.

Yeah, it's all stock as far as I can see. I never put a custom rom onto it, I just wanted to root it so that I could do screen recording. I tried booting it into recovery and I get a little android robot with the words "no command" underneath it.

The OTA is not due out for a couple of weeks.. Confirmed by Googlenexus on Twitter .. Don't think there will be no rollout until the the nexus 6 is released

Anyone download the new 5.0 calender apk? Was looking forward to it but had a go and its not as great as I hoped.

I think it's grand. I used aCalendar for years, but the design of it got a bit bland, and the stock one in my M7 is fine but I preferred the Google one. With this update, I think it looks great, and the functionality that I like is still there.

There are a couple of things that I'm not fond of with it though:

1. You can't (or I can't anyway) pinch to zoom in the 5-day view like you could in the old "week view". This means that the text for the events looks cut-off and illegible if you have a fair bit going on. I expect they'll have complaints and will fix this. It's more readable in landscape, but none of the other views work in landscape, so you have to twist the phone back around if you go to day view.

2. I use the abbreviation "TBC" when the venue for an event is to be confirmed (I'm not mental in thinking this is okay, am I?), but the map that now comes up for all those meetings is for Tuba City Airport. Kinda funny, hardly a glitch, but a little annoying! I guess I'll just have to tie-down where my meetings will take place a bit better from now on.

Other than that, I can't see myself using any other calendar app for the moment.

Just got an Google Inbox update pushed to my Nexus 5 with what's new of " Support for new Android Lollipop" features. I predict I shall be sucking on it the lollipop itself by the end of this week.

My thoughts exactly, although I'd be grateful if Google just came out and confirmed/denied a delay and a November 12th release, would be a whole lot more appreciated than their official statement of "in the coming weeks".

No reputable site has denied or confirmed anything, its all up in the air and nobody has the facts.

It is on a lot of different sites, but the story came from the same source on them all,don't know what credence this guy has though.

Any word on if it will be released tomorrow to Nexus devices? Or was the 12th just a random date thrown out?

At this point, I'm thinking it was just random. That said, the day isn't over yet. No change yet on my Nexus 5 or 7, and Google's Nexus twitter account is sticking to their "in the coming weeks" line.

Don't get why they aren't just setting a date for it's release. Ran into a lot of bugs perhaps?

Yeah, saw that. Link below. It's for 2012 model, though, so no good for me.
