Android Lollipop OTA update has begun! Who's updated? Do you enjoy it? Does it improve the performance?
Comment your thoughts and opinion
I did the factory image instead of the OTA. I haven't factory-reset my N7 2012 since I bought it, and it had 4 accounts on it. It was really, really laggy. After Lollipop, it got almost frighteningly fast in nearly everything it did.
Now, a lot of that was probably wiping out 2+ years of cruft and several OS upgrades using OTA. But I think you'll be pleased.
I miss the "right side = setup, left side = notifications" downswipe. Now it's a 1-finger/2-finger downswipe that I don't really like as much but I'll get used to it. The new keyboard is not to my liking AT ALL, but by customizing it to a PC layout I get my number row back and by changing to a Holo theme it looks a lot nicer and has separated keys, which may or may not be anyone else's cup of tea but is my strong preference. The tablet layout on the setup screen makes things easier to find, I guess, but takes some getting used to. And everything is so BRIGHT!!!! We need some dark system themes to come out for Lollipop - I'm not a fan of all the white/bright colors overall.
Other than that, I really, REALLY like Lollipop on the N7. It's given it a whole new lease on life. It's so much snapper and responsive (probably thanks in large part to ART, which I have been running on my Moto X for a while now).
