DL'd to my tablet; fucking hate it. Installation took over an hour in total, during which I did a hard reboot twice. First it went to black/dead (for five minutes+), second time it seemingly got stuck on the dots. Fucking pisspoor HCI - If it's in the process of installing a new O/S then it should say something along the lines of "INSTALLING NEW O/S, DO NOT FUCKING RESTART - THIS IS NORMAL!" not just leave you looking at pretty pixels dancing about the fucking screen wondering whether you've just pissed away £200-300 just by clicking an 'install updates' button.
After install I've come to hate the new lock screen, hate the new 'switch' screen, and hate the new gmail that apparently came with it. A google search told me how to change the keyboard (which I've never had a problem with) back into a keyboard, rather than just a block of letters designed to use exclusively with Swiftkey. Thankfully, they've done away with the two seperate drop-down menus for notifications and settings, so now we (tablet users) can all enjoy the mobile phone experience and have one central menu and have to click through multiple screens to get to what we want.
I'm negative on lollypop 5.0 btw

The contacts panel is a bit erm... well I prefer the older more subtle colours than dazzling pinks

All switchable back though, or remedied by installing other apps.DL'd to my tablet; fucking hate it. Installation took over an hour in total, during which I did a hard reboot twice.

It's a bit buggy on my N9 where I have had installed apps, not loading and saying they're not installed when they clearly are and I've used them on there previously. I haven't noticed any probs on my N5
And this, who thought those colours were a good idea? looks like they consulted on the design with a bunch of toddlers.

Calendar's not bad though. Entries are a lot more noticeable. The picture for each month is a bit shit and unnecessary, but I suppose it splits the months nice and easily

I don't use the calendar, I just use my work outlook one. The owa android beta app needs work, but the calendar function works OK.

Nor do I really. I use Jorte, but I sometimes synch to the google one, but half the time I forget, and when I do, I end up with double entries

Mine started downloading last night then seemed to stop for over an hour. So I rebooted it and couldn't see the download anymore so thought it had aborted.
Apparently not, because this morning I get a sudden warning about data usage then a message saying it's ready to restart then install. Which it's now doing *bites fingernails*
Nexus 4
It's now "upgrading" and "optimising 58 out of 137 apps"

Mine did that yesterday. Don't worry, it takes quite a while

Tis a bit worrying
Well it wouldn't install initially on mine as it said there wasn't enough space. I had 1.5GB and it only needed 500mb apparently. Used Clean Master and tried again and it seemed to sort it. Not sure how much difference that made or whether it was just being glitchy.

It's finished on mine now and seems OK. Thought I'd lost people/contacts but the shortcut just went missing and it was easy enough to find.
Doesn't seem that much different. So far

The telephone book colours? The calendar?
I don't really use it for too much else to notice.
Oh, the notifications, and the recently viewed (or rather open) apps. Instead of swiping, they now have little crosses in the corner to close them. Maybe you can swipe them as well, I dunno. Don't really take much notice of these things.
Don't like the new having to swipe up to unlock screen and then keying pin in. That seems a bit backwards
Oh and I've just discovered the battery saver but it makes the top and bottom panel thingies ORANGE

I had an app for battery saver so I'd better have a look I s'pose.The telephone book colours? The calendar?

Flashlight is fantastic, that's my favourite thing so far.

I have an app for battery saver (Battery Doctor) as well. Not sure how it compares with this one though. I also have a Notification Toggle thingy on my homescreen that you can customise and have a torch icon, so not sure which is best. I just can't be arsed with all these apps to be honest
Minnie_the_Minx
someinenhhanding menbag and me ah bollox
What's different about it then?
Where is it anyway, I can't find it except on my Notification Toggle toolbar
and now there's no swipe down for settings. Where's the shortcut for that? I can see it in the apps, but do we now have to go into it via apps or a shortcut on your homescreen or what?

I don't like the navigation bar either with its triangle, circle and square

Settings is up in the top right hand side, just swipe down then press your photo or whatever little logo at the top right. Or you can go into it from apps/shortcut on home screen.What's different about it then?

I have battery solo widget which shows on my home screen. I've just double checked and it's showing the same as the new battery feature (but solo is still better cos it's nice n big and obvious on my home screen).

ah yes, just realised the cogged wheel icon there. Cheers
