Google announced its biggest Android Wear update yet on Wednesday, which finally delivers a dedicated custom watch face API that allows developers and designers to build news faces with greater functionality. But it’s not all good news; Google says the custom watch faces you’ve already been using will be pulled if they aren’t updated to use the new API.

Android 5.0.1 has been available for over a week for a number Nexus devices — but only if you were willing to download the factory images and flash them manually. Now Google’s rolling out its latest Lollipop update — which brings improved stability and performance — over the air.

Google appears to have stopped selling the Nexus 5 in red or white after both devices vanished from the Play Store last night. Only the black model now remains in both 16GB and 32GB variants, however, both of those are currently out of stock, too.

While Google Play Edition devices are supposed to get the latest Android software first, the original Moto G GPE has been forced to sit back and watch as the standard versions of Motorola’s best-selling smartphone received their Lollipop upgrades. But now its wait is finally over.

Google has rolled out its latest Android 5.0.1 factory images for the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 6, just a week after they first became available for select Nexus tablets. Those who don’t want to wait for the software to arrive over-the-air can download it now for manual flashing.
