Weird that nobody talked about the 3G Model!!

the first preview they showed the LTE 5.0 ROM on 3G Model. but in final build it wouldnd have the Download Booster. so ppls get confused . here u go

A wide release of Android L is getting closer by the day, and we just got a nice preview of the build that will apparently be known as Android Lollipop. Ready to find out about some of the Android L features?

SamMobile posted an Android L preview earlier today, and it gives us a great idea of what to expect whenever the full Android L release goes live to the public. They posted an 8-minute video that shows Android L for the Samsung Galaxy S5, so we finally get to see how well TouchWiz and the Android Lollipop play together.

The build shown in the Android L preview is LRW58J, and it’s shown running on the international version of the Galaxy S5. You can clearly see elements of the “Material Design” language throughout, and it looks great if you dig Google’s new design philosophy. The notification shade has been revamped along with many of the stock icons, and there’s a new lockscreen that can show notifications. Apparently, you can also enable or disable those notifications on any app and set a limit as to what shows up on the screen. This is a small, but cool feature that a lot of folks will definitely use.

Those are just a few of the features shown in the Android L preview, and you can see the walkthrough in its entirety below. You can’t download the build however as SamMobile said it was too slow and buggy for everyday usage at this time, and is an early build. There’s still no word on when we’ll see a wide release of Android L, but it should be soon after the Nexus 6 and Nexus slate roll out.

What do you think about the look of Android Lollipop with Sammy’s TouchWiz?

IMO, the best thing about Lollipop is the Lockscreen Notifications.

I have no idea why Samsung launched the S5 with such a boring lockscreen. I have to use APPS the make my lockscreen useful, but they aren't instant-click like the stock interface features are. It's glitchy and there's a stutter with them. But it's still better than the S5's stock lockscreen at the moment.

I'm really looking forward to a stock Lockscreen that works as smoothly as the rest of the UI and has a notification window.

Voice command while not touching the phone is what I like.
