Nexus 7 and Lollipop

The Lamas Nexus was seriously lagging just before the update to 5 came out so I was waiting quite impatiently for the release.

I think I was among the last of the Nexus users to get the update, or so it seemed,  which when it arrived was 5.0.2. 

I set the upgrade off and waited quite excitedly for it to finish.

When it did, I thought my Nexus was done for!!

It was even slower than before the upgrade.  I tried all the tricks I could find to sort it out but to no avail.

In the end, I backed it up and restored it to factory settings.  It restarted with the new OS – not the original OS from when it was first delivered.

I put in my details and it downloaded all my apps.

 

It was much better, although it still has its moments I can work around that (terminating a certain social media app helps).

It seems that installing the apps on to the new operating system works better than putting the operating system over the existing apps.
