The jury is still out but my update today to Lollipop seems to have my N7 2012 32G running a whole mess better than the previous 4.4 build.
Of course, I have simply downloaded, installed the new update and launched my staple five or six applications. There is still lag where this thing used to be a solid performer but I am seeing much better responses in the new Gmail app and other third party apps that I use most regularly. For some reason, they can't seem to get Chrome "right" and it remains a thorn in my side...
Also, OS Monitor seems to now report a great deal more CPU performance utilization that corresponds with system slowness. I now see the CPUs hitting 70%+ utilization whereas in 4.x, it never seemed to go beyond 40% before it crawled to a halt with no indication of memory or CPU issues. Now it reports utilization never seen before... sort of a good thing???
Recommendations for a more efficient browser on a native N7. No rooting, no mods... no time to play and manage.
Anyone with similar experiences?
