Now you have Android 5.0, what do you think of it

after the Reset it ran ok for a while, but now it is starting to lag again and apps are crashing and it takes forever to start, some times I will just have a black screen until it works through whatever it is doing, not very happy with this upgrade.

If I am not wrong you own a Nexus 7 2012.

If you do you should probably revert back to Android 4.4 KitKat and if that doesn't seem to fix the issues you may have to finally upgrade to a better phone/tablet.

Face it, the Nexus 7 2012 was a spectacular device(and still is) but there was something about the storage that Google used which made the device extremely laggy after some time, and it is also widely believed that the storage of the Nexus 7 2012 deteriorates as time passes.

It was a good quality budget tablet and sacrifices needed to be made somewhere. :/

the only thing I don't like is that my exchange email was forced into the gmail client.

it's fine for the most part, but I'm getting some emails where the text isn't resizing, forcing me to zoom in and scroll around in order to read the text.

I know I could use another 3rd party app for exchange but I liked the stock email client from kitkat.

I sideloaded Lollipop onto my Nexus 7 2013. I love it so far. No problems.

I think the only change that I don't love is maybe the volume control buttons no longer allowing me to change volumes manually from the home screen. I ended up downloading Slider Widget - Volumes to compensate.

I don't like it. I think it might be great for phones but doesn't seem to use the real estate on my N7 2013 very well ie the single swipe down for notifications and settings in landscape mode is ridiculous. Also takes ages to boot up. Hate the color schemes. Hate the new lock screen and that damn camera! Missing gallery terribly and am I mistaken but is everything forcing me into using google+ ? Also missing the widgets on lock screen.

My Nexus 7 2012 was running brilliantly with Lollipop, but it got worse by the hour until I was faced with constant freezes, basically unusable for any length of time.

I decided to rollback and I'm going to ignore the update notification for a while.

As it stands, I'm not sure Lollipop is fit for purpose on the Nexus 7 2012.

Its working fine on my phone.

I think it's huge, it's just unless you dig around and try all the new stuff it's easy to think it's all skin deep.

I love the trusted devices for smart lock, pinning, etc...

The absolute best thing is the tiny incoming call notifications. Not losing your entire screen every time the phone rings is insanely great.

Lock screen notifications are awesome. Been missing that since WebOS.

The dialer is even better - a refinement of the ideas put forth in the Nexus 5 dialer.

I could go on and on.

everything you said I agree with

While I don't mind the new look, I absolutely hate the new calendar app, which lost so many features its ridiculous.
As mentioned already, I would have preferred to have the option to continue using the stock email app in addition to the gmail app. I quite liked having two separate apps for completely separate email accounts. I can't even install the stock google email client from the play store
The new lockscreen is slightly annoying in that I have to slide up and only then can I enter the unlock pattern.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the 'art deco meets The Jetsons'. There may well be welcome improvements but I wouldn't know as my N7 2012 is almost unusable now. Occasionally I get brief stints of apps opening right up and doing what they do, but mostly I just get non-stop lag.
