I have both a Nexus 7 2012 and a Nexus 7 2013. The "sweetness" of Lollipop was pure poison for the Nexus 7 2012, it never should have been updated beyond Kitkat and turned it into a brick for most users. I rooted mine, went back to Kitkat and prevented further updates but I'm sitting on a pile of abandoned N7 2012 tablets, eventually to be rooted and donated to low income families.
My Nexus 7 2013 runs well with Lollipop now, very well, and as much as I'd like to install Android 6, I know the seniors and kids burned by Google with the N7 2012 and have no desire to join that club.
If Google is releasing a poison pill for the Nexus 7 2013, I'd just assume save the time trying to make a pig into a diamond, root and block further updates.
Whether you root, sideload or use a factory image, how is Android 6 running on your Nexus 7 2013? Acceptable performance is fine but please take off the blinders as we know Google will release OS upgrades to devices that cannot run them without horrible performance, never fix the problems and abandon them.
I was a true believer last year but I'm not walking into quicksand again. Google is not a trustworthy company.
What is your frank assessment of Android 6 on the Nexus 7 2013?
Best,
Tom
