Just installed coming from 5.0.0. I did not reformat userdata, but left intact, so far so good.
[Nexus 7 General] Laugher19:
It is super smooth it works so much better. Definetly an improvement.
[Nexus 7 General] lorloff:
Did you do a system wipe or an upgrade from the factory image? If upgrade just via fastboot?
[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
Is it just an improvement over 5.0, or is it also running better than KitKat?
[Nexus 7 General] PapaMag:
I seems to be running smoother to me coming from a custom 5.0.1 rom. I rooted and flashed with NRT then flashed MKernel. Getting a first benchmark of 21,600 so I'm happy with that. The camera app is with this update so that's a plus as well.

Just upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2. Perhaps it is too early to tell since no apps are installed yet, but I "feel" little smoother than before.

Wugs toolkit
[Nexus 7 General] Egrier:
I flashed it as well and it is way better than 5.0. Not laggy at all.

What is the easiest way to flash a stock image on a non rooted N7 ?
[Nexus 7 General] Luchoc:
Camera app? Nope, no stock camera app. But at least the ROM is indeed smoother than 5.0/5.0.1. I can't compare to 4.4.x since on mine it was laggy as hell. Then again, I didn't bother tinkering with different kernels and such.

According to the front XDA page it fixes fstrim, so we should see some difference in performance on the long run.
[Nexus 7 General] walrusmonarch:
This is SO much better than 5.0... I can actually use my tablet now. I don't have to wait 30 seconds for my touch input to register...

Feels about as fast as Kitkat was. Kitkat was pretty smooth for me, so this seems pretty good to me as well.
[Nexus 7 General] GtrCraft:
It seems like google fixed the NAND and fstrim issues with 5.0.2 according to the front page [emoji106]
[Nexus 7 General] supermario3:
No improvement for me :(

I updated with fastboot (leaving userdata). Chrome takes 30 seconds to open

[Nexus 7 General] pruhster:
Follow these instructions.
[Nexus 7 General] Userro:
Any idea on how to root this? Wug toolkit stops at 5.0.0, would it work anyway?

Btw the device result slighty faster, but not as fast as kitkat was. Still pretty unusable if you ask me.
[Nexus 7 General] Tommmii:
fastboot flash system system.img

that's all I did.

Booting now, we'll see how it gets along.

Edit : boot took the best part of 20 minutes, optimizing 117 applications...

Root was lost, so rebooted to recovery and flashed superSU 2.40

What are the thoughts on having flashed nothing but the 5.0.2 system.img, coming from 5.0 ?
[Nexus 7 General] GtrCraft:
That wiping cache and flashing boot.img is probably a good idea
[Nexus 7 General] kalda01:
Flashed 5.0.2 stock image via Fastboot and device was brought back to life. runs no worse than 4.4
[Nexus 7 General] corkiejp:
You could wait for Wugfresh to update the toolkit.

Alternatively If you have flashed TWRP, you could put the latest supersu zip on your device and flash it using TWRP!

Can I flash the system image only, if my data is f2fs on stock ROM?

Inviato dal mio XT1032
[Nexus 7 General] pruhster:
Having 2 devices I upgraded one to compare 5.0.0 to 5.0.2 (after full wipe). While .2 performs slightly faster on most tasks like switching between application, Google Now, settings, it actually performed worse on others - opening web pages in Chrome, loading Facebook feed. So it's an improvement and I'm sticking with it but I guess that's as good as it gets with Lollipop.
[Nexus 7 General] PapaMag:
Thanks I just went in and updated the setting for my device. I was able to root last night just fine even before the update. Flashed the img file and all. What a great tool
[Nexus 7 General] tnuts22222:
anybody having issues with google play services not being compatible ?
[Nexus 7 General] Nikorasu:
Not really. I was skeptical at first but after flashing a F2FS 5.0.1 AOSP rom on my wife's Nexus7, it is much more responsive. Even more so than 4.3-4.4 stock.

5.02 seems a lot faster than 5.00

For me, so far Android Lollipop 5.02 feels a lot faster than the 5.00 release. Only installed it this morning though... Will keep dual booting 4.4.4 as well via Multirom :) Thank you Google, for keeping a 2.5 year old tablet up-to-date with the latest Android version :)
[Nexus 7 General] Docavelli:
It's definitely an improvement for me. I had all but put my 7 on the shelf. It's back to performing well.
[Nexus 7 General] Bert98:
Wow, I'm positively surprised by the performance improvement over 5.0, using f2fs /data and M-kernel a73
[Nexus 7 General] iolinux333:
OK, I'll take that as a GO for liftoff.

Hey Google, please push it out now. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] Skrazz:
Used Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit to flash boot.img and system.img with no data loss, and no snags. Performance so far is stellar (comparatively). Recommending this update to all of those folks running fstrim every 2 days.
[Nexus 7 General] mertzi:
Besides a boot up time from hell 5.0.2 is working great. Installed it with the fastboot method without losing any data. Flashed system.img, boot.img and formated cache. Then rooted with NRT and installed App Ops.
[Nexus 7 General] chris.arney:
Does anyone have a recovery flashable zip for this yet? The family is asleep, and my laptop and desktop are in my bedroom at the moment, so i can't use adb right now. And I'll be driving all day tomorrow, and at the in-laws atleast a week (who don't have internet), and traveling for work after that. So tonight is probably the only time I'll have to play with this for at least a month.
[Nexus 7 General] lorloff:
Here's what I did to upgrade from 5.0 Factory (no root)

Download Factory Image https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-lrx22g-factory-2291c36b.tgz

Extract it.

Copy Boot.img and system.img into my folder with my fastboot executable

Boot nexus 7 into fastboot (From power off Power + Vol Down)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

That's it. Upgraded no problem. All data is there. Boot after flash took around 10 minutes or so though, so don't fret.
[Nexus 7 General] bengtan:
Hi,

Anyone know whether CF Auto Root will work for 5.0.2?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] cylgalad:
Yes it does.
[Nexus 7 General] bengtan:
Just for the record, I've just downloaded the 5.0.2 image and upgraded my nexus 7 myself. Then I used CF Auto Root and that worked fine as well.

Haven't used the tablet much yet, but at first glance, it seems much better.
[Nexus 7 General] Skrazz:
I wish I knew who to personally thank for this update. They saved me the $200 I was preparing to blow on a new 7" tablet. The difference between 5.0 and 5.0.2 is night and day for me.
[Nexus 7 General] jacobydarkon:
I wiped everything.
[Nexus 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I flashed 5.02 last night, wiped it and started from scratch.

Even though I have most of my apps installed since then the difference in speed is like night and day. 5.00 started ok when I first installed it but after 2 weeks it was literally unusable; just unlocking from the home screen was almost impossible. 5.02 is like having a new tablet, hopefully it won't turn to goo in another 2 weeks.
[Nexus 7 General] ferossan:
My steps

without loosing data

from 5.0 to 5.0.2 on a rooted device:

$ adb reboot bootloader
$ fastboot erase cache
$ fastboot erase recovery
$ fastboot erase system
$ fastboot update image-nakasi-lrx22g.zip

Later, to get root again, flash the last recovery (today openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-grouper.img) and SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip)

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-grouper.img

Then flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip from the new recovery.

Works perfectly fine.
[Nexus 7 General] code65536:
Should the new recovery.img be flashed as well? Would not doing so affect future OTAs?
[Nexus 7 General] lorloff:
Not sure if recovery would affect future OTA. I just double checked and it does look like it's been updated so yeah adding

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

would be sensible. However [MENTION=3522543]ferossan[/MENTION] post above shows how to do it all at once using fastboot update. I was afraid running that it would flash the userdata.img and erase my data.
[Nexus 7 General] n1kolaa:
For eaven more speed, try my kernel. its eaven more updated...its still work in progres but more better than google kernel.
[Nexus 7 General] frgo:
Is there anyone else with extremely slow charging when device is on?
[Nexus 7 General] treesurf:
Yes, VERY slow charging.
[Nexus 7 General] ferossan:
The command:

fastboot update image-nakasi-lrx22g.zip

will not erase the your personal data. Yes, the zip contains the "userdata.img" but will NOT be flashed unless is used the -w (wipe) option.

This WILL erase your data and flash the "userdata.img":

fastboot -w update image-nakasi-lrx22g.zip
[Nexus 7 General] erc.:
Has anyone been running 5.0.2 with moderate-heavy use for a few days? Even with 5.0.0 it was fast for a while after a factory reset, but it seemed like after you loaded some apps it'd slow to a crawl in a few days of use.

I have a feeling 5.0.2 is going to be the same way... maybe to a lesser extent, but still not as fast as KitKat or JB--but I'd like to be proven wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Might have been an issue with fstrim not running on your device, apparently this was tweaked in 5.0.2

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...r-android-5-0-1_r1-lrx22c-to-5-0-2_r1-lrx22g/

I've been so far so good since I flashed factory image ... don't get me wrong here its definitely not as fast as my 2GB or higher devices but it sure isnt unusable as some ppl complain, no problem using Chrome or any of my other apps when I use it
[Nexus 7 General] iBolski:
For all those asking about root working, as long as you've unlocked the bootloader, you can just flash SuperSU from within CWM or TWRP recovery. No exploit needed. And, this will always work as long as SuperSU works with whatever latest Android system it's been updated to work with.

LP did give some fits (required a kernel that would allow access to system), but they've figured that out as well now, so after updating to 5.0.2, just boot into TWRP or CWM and flash the latest SuperSU zip and you're rooted.
[Nexus 7 General] bunklung:
This seriously should be stickied.
[Nexus 7 General] hern1989:
To root, I used the CF auto root grouper nakasi nexus 7. Just ran the batch file in windows and put the tablet in fastboot mode. Done. Running good.
[Nexus 7 General] MR George:
It's work fine.

And update to 5.0.2.

All data without lost.
[Nexus 7 General] killerfrank:
Only if u unlocked the bootloader, otherwise u can only use OTA.
[Nexus 7 General] iBolski:
The N7 always seems to charge slow no matter what. I usually turn it off and then charge it overnight and that usually helps. Leaving it on and attempting to charge it seems to be a crap shoot if it will charge overnight, especially if I've drained it down to 30% or lower.

Overall, this update is great. The initial OTA was awful. Keyboard slow to show up (stock or Swiftkey), and then typing was like waiting for grandma to drive from point a to point b - sloooooooow.

This 5.0.2 update is great. Excellent response now, no lagging that I can see of. In fact, it's right there with how Kit Kat was running for me (I actually flashed back to KK in order to get performance back before this update).
[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
After reviewing everyone's input I decided to flash 5.0.2. I must say I agree -- the difference between 5.0 and 5.0.2 is like night and day. Performance is back to normal, the agonizing waits and lags are gone, and any slowness I have here and there is nothing I didn't already have with KitKat. Happy happy happy!
[Nexus 7 General] JeanPi9:
Im guessing i have to back to ext4 for this, right? No f2fs?
[Nexus 7 General] iBolski:
Yup.
[Nexus 7 General] JeanPi9:
Thanks. i'm asking because i saw someone post that they're using f2fs.

Is it working on f2fs for you?
[Nexus 7 General] iBolski:
Correct, because he's using a different kernel. The kernel he specified will allow f2fs. You'll have to go back to stock, flash the kernel, then go back and reformat /data to f2fs. You won't be able to do /system though under stock, from what I understand.
[Nexus 7 General] JeanPi9:
Ok, my apologies if i'm bothering with so many questions. I already have MKernel installed, everything formatted to F2FS and using a custom 5.0.1 rom. Can i just wipe and flash the Factory image or do i need to do some other steps?
[Nexus 7 General] halloga:
Did anyone have Wifi DNS issue on 5.0? Is it fixed?
[Nexus 7 General] trmkr:
Did anyone with 4.4.4. received the OTA 5.0.2 update?
[Nexus 7 General] iolinux333:
I've seen zero reports of the OTA resuming. I wish Google was a little less secretive. They're almost as bad as Apple.
[Nexus 7 General] SolidSnakeUS:
I haven't.

Then why keep releasing all these versions. Just release the OTA and if something gets messed up, then fix it immediately. I don't feel like having to download an OTA manually to get this thing to run instead of just searching for updates within the system.
[Nexus 7 General] ChungHung.Chen:
About slow charging issue

Could anyone help to check output of the charger? I've tested with my Nexus 7 2012 WiFi and confirmed that 2A is the best. Stock charger from ASUS is 2A too. If you use 1A charger it will charge VERY slow.
[Nexus 7 General] Bert98:
Format /system to ext4 I think

Inviato dal mio XT1032 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 General] UncleMike:
The stock charger is rated at 2A (2000mA), but the Nexus 7 only draws a maximum of ~850mA when charging (I've measured this with a meter). Slow charging with any charger tasted at 850mA or higher is most likely a result of the charger catering to Apple's non-standard USB charging specifications, or the cable being a data cable (as opposed to a charge-only cable).

The stock charger has the data pins shorted in the charger, and the stock charger cable is a standard data cable. This combination works fine. Most charges do not have the data pins shorted (catering to Apple), and will only charge the Nexus 7 at full rate when used with a charge-only cable.

[Nexus 7 General] tullywork:
I was excited to load 5.0, until it rendered my Nexus 7 2012 tablet nearly unusable it was so slow... cleared cache (from upgrade from 4.4.4) and changing some Dev settings helped a bit, but when 5.0.2 was released I reset my device and loaded it... It definitely was better than 5.0, but chrome was still way too painfully slow to be tolerable.

I've gone back to 4.4.4 and what an incredible difference, shame Google couldn't get it right... Maybe next release.

It's a shame if android devices with less than 2GB of memory aren't usable with lollipop, scary to think most new windows 8.1 tablets are being released with 1GB of RAM, has windows become more efficient than android?? Say it isn't so...
[Nexus 7 General] iolinux333:
Weird how there are conflicting reports. Some say 5.02 is faster than 4.4 and others say the opposite. I'd love to see someone with two identical Nexus 7 do a comparison video side by side, each with a fresh flash (giving both tabs a few days after the flash to "settle."

I was running stock 5.0 from factory image and the tablet was pretty good, not lagging like a ***** but still I factory imaged 5.02 kinda hoping for a miracle after Jordan gave it a mention on xda tv but it was worse, seriously so I installed m-kernel latest build things improved nicely but its in no way better than 4.4.4, gonna give it a bit longer.
[Nexus 7 General] jadesse:
5.02 does seem to be a huge improvement over both 5.0 & 5.01. My N7 was rendered pretty much useless & I even resorted to wiping my tablet. That did seem to help a little but I was still experiencing random restarts. Once Google had 5.02 annouce 5.0 was available I flashed via Wugs. Hopefully the next update will polish things up a bit.

Hey guys long time lurker here who needs some help,

First off, this is what I have on my phone:

Baseband: I747UCUEMJB

ROM: QuantumRom/QuantumKernel (Latest)

Philz Touch Recovery (slightly old)

Main Question: I want to completely wipe my phone (pretty much nuke it) and reset it all the way to where I still have a rooted phone and can put on a custom ROM. How do I go about doing this?

I want to do this because I may sell my phone later on down the road (approx. 2-3 months) and I want to clean out all the stuff I have, but I still want a phone that is rooted and able to sustain custom ROMs. I know this may seem like a noob question, but I want to make sure I do the process right and not lose my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I'm not 100% sure but wiping data, cache, and Dalvik would pretty much wipe everything on your phone.

Alternatively, you could use Odin to flash a ROM.

The thing is, I wanna go back to pretty much stock with root. Like wipe the whole phone clean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
To go back to stock from MJB, you'll need to flash a stock ROM that has been compiled for flashing in Odin. Don't use any of the ROMs from sammobile.com.
