I have very mixed feelings about this update to be honest. On one hand, battery life is greatly improved and I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE material design. All the themes and animations really shines on the phone's beatiful full HD screen.

But I am majorly disappointed in the ironically much hyped performance department. It's so inconsistent. When it's fast, it's fast but overall it feels really slow. From menu transitions to to opening apps to multitasking. Kitkat on the other hand is much faster on Dalvik and with ART, the supposedly expiremental ART mind you, just mows through Lollipop. I think we just have an incomplete update on our hands. Keep in mind though these are all MY EXPIRIENCE with Lollipop. You may have had a better expirience then I did.

[Nexus 5 General] kamild_:
Here I am, after a few days of using Lollipop and I got mixed feelings about that. In my opinion Lollipop looks better than Kitkat, the Material Design really appeals to me. Setting a static wallpaper (the one that doesn't scroll along with launcher screens) is not a problem anymore - on Kitkat I had to mess with external apps. But perhaps I will have to switch from such a good looking system to Kitkat. There are several reasons for that, the main reasons are shorter battery life, relatively low stability (some apps that worked well on Kitkat now are randomly crashing on Lollipop, eg. Chrome) and a lack of compatibilty with some apps/games I use, eg. GTA San Andreas, Shadow Fight 2, Freedom, GameGuardian and a few others I can't remember now. A minor issue for me is the fact that browsers are not working so fluently as they used to do because it takes longer for Android to react to tapped links and scrolling many sites (even some simple ones such as http://m.pclab.pl) is not as smooth as it used to be. Also I miss Xposed :P

I think Google did a great job with Android L but it still needs some polishing and "growing" - same as many flowers, this OS will become better just after some aging :D That's why I'm going to temporarily downgrade to Android Kitkat - I will probably install it back when it gets better. If I wanted to roll back, flashing 4.4.4 factory images is going to be enough? Or I need to do some other operations?

PS: Kernel devs - please don't stop updating your kernels for Kitkat. It's not dead and it will take some time until we forget about it. Talking especially about Franco Kernel and ElementalX - I think that dropping Kitkat support is a bad idea :)

Hi, i flashed the factory image some days ago without any wipe (i removed -w)

today i wanted to flash it clean again with a full wipe, i just started the flash-all.bat

i got some Malloc: Not enough Space error.

I used the costum script from some guy here on xda -> Bootloop

used the original flash-all.bat with removing -w -> no errors -> bootloop

What can i do now ?
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Extract out all the files and flash one at a time, and reboot the bootloader between each one. After doing all that, boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset and then try and boot it. Should work after that
[Nexus 5 General] RxR48:
Thanks alot dude :)

[Nexus 5 General] BuckBanzai:
Hi guys

After reading this long thread i still have a few doubts.

I'm running kitkat 4.4.3 - stock - with a custom kernel - elementalX

I have a mac.

What would be the simplest way to update to lollipop?

should i unroot and lock bootloader and proceed with the OTA update? or as when i return to stock should i flash the official lollipop image from google site?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Factory image.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowdevil:
Make it simple always..[emoji4]

Flash lollipop factory image..! You will have a clean phone with no issues..!
[Nexus 5 General] fitz420:
The aosp build I'm running does feel snappier than the factory image. Not by a huge amount, stock feels quick too, but enough for me to notice.
[Nexus 5 General] BuckBanzai:
Ok...

So i was planning to follow this step-by-step guide to return to stock androidrootz.com/2013/11/how-to-unroot-nexus-5-complete-stock.html

Should i just flash the new files from the lollipop factory image zip file (boot loader, radio and image)? do i need the additional files found in the folder used in the guide above (which are adb-mac and fast boot-mac, in the picture attachment)?

Thanks! ;)
[Nexus 5 General] ek69:
You are complicating things

Go to Google factory image page from the first post, download the image, unzip it, then run flash-all.sh from terminal on your Mac. It'll wipe phone clean and your nexus 5 is now on lollipop :)

Thanks!
