Kitkat or L what do you prefer?

[Isus <3]

When I installed L first time on my Nexus 4 I loved it, it was epic, I had it since first day it was ported, then I bought nexus 5 and installed it ,and I noticed that kitkat has faster Ui. L has weird rule which it opens something u click after the material animation is done which makes phone look slow plus it's so annoying and on nexus 4 it was perfect because it wasn't as fast as nexus 5, weird, I think I'm going to stay on kitkat :/

Tried the L preview and I switched back to KK for some app issues. When the final images will get released I will switch back to L though.

kitkat for me. it runs all my apps, has better battery and no 'puke on the screen' weird colours.

also i agree with op about the weird feel the lollipop preview has

46k benchmark with Android Lollipop stock rom and ElementalX kernel @2.6Ghz very fast at least as Kitkat. Using as daily driver and love it. Will stay with the preview and the Stock rom waiting a MahdiRom version of Lollipop.

I know, app opening is fast and fluid but when you go through Ui like opening about phone in Settings it won't open it until animation is done.

I don't know what you saw. When I hit "About Phone" it opens right up. Maybe you had a bad install. Everything is super smooth for me.

Don't face this issue. Goto developer settings and put animations to 0,5x like me to have fastest animations

lol, 46K on antutu is very slow for 2.6ghz. my n5 sees 45k+ at stock speeds of 2265mhhz, on L or on kitkat that is kinda slow for 2.6ghz.

you always have an option of making the animations faster, or turning them off completely. again, that is your choice to make.

I don't want orange status and navigation bar whole time on if you mean on that.

no. you can go into settings, developer options, and make the animations faster, or turn them off. if you dont see developer options, go to about phone, and tap on the build number like 3 or 4 times.

In developer options, you can turn all animations off. Its not the battery saver mode. But I still find it hard to believe you had animation issues with 5.0

No the issue is that phone won't do task until the animation is done which makes phone look slow, on kitkat as you click it whites a bar little bit and goes in immediately.

I still don't see that issue though. You are talking like the animation takes forever and opening apps is slow.

Na, I got used to kitkat speed which is tiny bit faster but still noticeable. Humans...

Alrighty then. Well it's 5.0 for me. Never going back.

Can't wait for slimrom on lollipop, imagine that speed.

 

[cpvm]

Now I prefer KitKat its fast and smooth, I was using lollipop but after 2 days on, the multitasking was really bad, everything was closing even the keyboard so I downgraded to KitKat and I don't any problem.

Same. Missing loads of features on KK slim but its worth it. Smoother and faster. I. Even getting used to.lighter backgrounds and I like the material tones.

Good ROM all in all and can only get better.
