Anybody been playing with Lollipop?

As I said in the first post mine installed perfectly using Wugfresh as it was rooted with custom recovery so can't use an OTA update. All my apps are now running and it's as responsive as ever it was.

I did have issues with the Nexus 4 but eventually got that sorted out more by luck than judgement.

From what I read there is currently no OTA update for the Nexus 4 but the images for it (and all Nexus 7 versions) have been released for those who wish to upgrade manually.

DO NOT update nexus 7 2012 models to lollipop

I updated my Nexus 7 2012 and it seemed very sluggish afterwards, so I wiped the cache partition.
That seemed to help, but it was still slower than pre-upgrade, so I took the step of doing a factory reset.

That has worked very well. It's fast & responsive again, although there is the occasional unexpected reboot. I'm leaving it to settle down and waiting to see if it is happy or if Google send out an OTA patch, before considering a rollback to KitKat.
As I recall, KitKat wasn't completely problem-free at first on my Nexus either.

Now that might be the key. After flashing the new firmware via Wugfresh I did a factory reset as advised by the tool (to correct incorrectly reported storage size which mine was) As I'd taken a backup this was no big deal but anybody using an OTA upgrade most likely won't have backed up so won't be keen on a factory reset - especially if they weren't using google cloud backup.

Can I just ask how do you wipe the cache partition?

I can assure you that it is. Or at least it says it is...

It only will be encrypted if you have turned that option on. Mine is not. Google have stated that only devices shipping with Lollipop (Nexus 6 & 9) will have encryption turned on by default.

There is no point in doing this as using the tablet will just fill this cache up again.

That's the point!

It rebuilds the runtimes of the installed apps. If it was a previous build it might not like the current version of android.wiping the cache and letting it rebuild will solve this issue.

Googling brings up many sites with help, but this one linked below is fairly clear.
Follow the instructions (even though it says it's for the Samsung Galaxy S3).
If you have already updated to Lollipop some things look slightly different, but it's mostly easy to follow.....
