The light coloured new keyboard rather jars, but the dark scheme is okay. Will try to get used to that than revert back to Holo or Swiftkey.
I got white keys on a white background on the keyboard after upgrade and I just couldn't get on with that (personal preference and all that). bhstewie said:
Has anyone had this appear as an update on their Nexus 4 yet please?
Yep, got it on Monday night I think. Still waiting for my 2013 N7 though.There's still some bugs in apps, for example the facebook notifcation no longer takes you to the notifcation, it just opens the app where you last were if previously opened, or normally opens it if it's not yet started.

What I would actually like is if the app drawer used my background wallpaper like earlier versions did.... not a biggie, but not a huge thing to implement either; some of the replacement Launchers I've seen in the past had this feature, but I can't be bothered trying one on the N5 because the Now launcher is just so good, quick 'n slick.
So, for me -- thumbs up for 5.0 on the N5
On the N7 -- I've reverted to KitKat, just did it while having dinner. I posted earlier it seemed Ok, except for Chrome. Reality was, sometimes it was Ok, sometimes it was glacially slow; it all depended what was happening in the background and what apps had started background processes at any given time. Sometimes it tipped along at an acceptable lick, other times it slowed to a crawl. So back to KK we went....

I quite like it on my Nexus 5 (which has generally been a great phone). There is a bit too much white in the menus now, but I like the fact it estimates time to full charge on the battery screen.
Same here.Also noticed....
I now have some limited control on my Sonos when the phone is locked.
This may or may not be new....You can resize some widgits by doing a long press on it and then letting go...drag the white circles to increase and decrease the size. It works with the calendar and bookmarks widgits but not on others.

Cheers. It doesn't even take up any more room.
My N7 2012 is definitely much more lethargic under Lollipop, to the extent that when OTA updates become available for my N7 2013 and Moto G, I won't be applying them.

Still horribly laggy and unresponsive on my n7, reading post's on xda it seems to be a common issue, suggested cure is to enter recovery mode and clear the cache, did this last night and it's made a world of difference, much much better.
This gives me a little hope though. Does this procedure involve data loss (ie. a factory reset) or is it safe to do?Totally safe no data loss involved.

Do the above select clear cache and then reboot once its done (takes seconds)
