lemonisdead Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 12, 2014 #4 I dislike the Material design. In my opinion it is not serious. And I have the strange feeling that the apps in compatibility mode (Gmail, Books, Sheets, etc) are not so responsive (lagging)

corwin42 Expert Licensed User Longtime User Nov 14, 2014 #5 Material design is very nice and clear. I like it very much. One problem of the design is that there is lots of whitespace in the layouts. For example the new calender is great on a tablet but bad on a phone. Biggest problem is that it is currently very hard to create Material Design apps with B4A. There are so much things missing like Floating Action Buttons etc. Yes, I know that this all is doable with a lot work in B4A, too. What makes me sad is that we (currently) can't really use the support libraries like the v7-appcompat to use all the new components in pre Android 5.0 apps.

lemonisdead Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 17, 2014 #6 I've got the Android 5 update on my Nexus 7 on saturday. I can only say that : many apps from indies crash, the tablet is very slooooow now. And the notifications are so ridiculous (small compared to the screen size)

Which N7 do you have? I have the 2013 one and it runs absolutely smooth with lollipop. How did you do the update (I assume OTA since you say you got it on saturday)? Try a factory reset. That often solved such problems in the past. I even don't have any problems with apps. Everything runs great. The thing I notice most is that many apps show notifications in wrong color.

And me, I have no problem with the notification's colors : http://nvis.org/Pictures1/sc1.png http://nvis.org/Pictures1/sc2.png But doing a factory reset, as I have a lot of apps, books, movies, music installed...

lemonisdead Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 20, 2014 #10 I've just downgraded the tablet from 5 to 4.4.4 and, really, there is no doubt : the tablet is quicker using KitKat. I wonder if Google will release an upgrade to Lolliloop soon (can't find information about).
