How can 5000 new APIs coming to Android L be evolutionary?? I think this will be a revolution in terms of new features/capabilities.
not thrilled at all with L atm. hoping its much different by release in november.
Any updates on your feelings with L?
I installed it yesterday on a Nexus 7 a have mixed feelings. Visually I found the old icons and new paper design inconsistent.
Certainly is time for me to look at other platforms, just one of the things that has bugged me for years is the inconsistent icon size for all the different apps which I think now just looks plain ugly.
Was hoping they would of sorted that when they done the new design.
Plus why can't we have an option to back up our phone to Google drive built in to the os itself.
Think this will be my last android phone unless they add more stuff to L.

I am disappointed.. The one feature I wanted to see was cloud based backups for apps. The one thing been missing from Android for years and IMO has much more priority than redesigning the UI etc..
I upgrade every two years, sometimes I need to restore.. I have multiple devices.. What I want to see is
a) When I get a new phone or have to restore it will restore my apps with their data
b) If I have the same app on both tablet and phone I want the app data to be synced between devices.
Cmon Apple has had a) for years now.. Google seem to miss some of the most useful things for so long. Remember when you couldn't zoom in on emails in the gmail app? We got it finally but after so long a wait.. This seems to be the same story. You want to encourage people to keep upgrading by making it easier to keep apps with new data on new devices makes it so much easier..
Thumbs down for me..
So wait, what is this new messenger app in 5.0? Is it going to replace hangouts? Check the screencaps:

Anywho, I'm really excited about the fact that 5.0 has all this new seamless stuff in addition to looking really good and being able to perform well on low end devices. I've been seeing a lot of animations on the new google apps on the Android website and they all look great! Can't wait for the new developer preview on the 17th.
Is it me or the dialer app in android 5.0 is not snappy enough?
