Flashed image and I was using stock kernel. Also tried with CleanROM , Euphoria OS ROMs and ElementalX and Glitch kernels with 1.7 GHz CPU and 450 MHz GPU.
It's still amazing that after almost 2 months of issues reporting, confirmed bugs etc people are still debating wether it's because of 'dirty' or clean flasing.
Guys, it doesn't matter, issues - especially with games- are a fact.
And by the way even if OTA flashing is causing issues, blame Google not the users. Google should have known better not to release an OTA and force a clean installation if their internal QA tests indicated that OTA is causing issues.
Personally if I don't run any games, the tablet is smooth. When I play games, after a while performance is degraded and I have to reboot.

Updated from stock.
Hello, I updated from stock. not unlocked, not rooted. and my Nexus 7 is laggy as hell. everything runs slow. Facebook Force quits and chrome is unusable, games are unplayable. i have wiped, and reinstalled, restored to factory, No change. after reading the boards i see some are having problems, while others are not. i am wondering if i am doing something wrong. and i am open to suggestions. i used to use it for work, now i cannot use it at all.

Did all this and mine works flawlessly
Do a factory reset first.
then follow this procedure:

Note: WIFI only devices skip the radio.img step
Right after flashing system.img, make sure to perform the extra steps of:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
THIS WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR DATA
was then able to root with Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit.

Same here .Starts lagging after 2/3 days if use .Needs a reboot. Looks like launching a heavy app or turning On/off sync triggers the lag .IMHO must be related to ART ..Hope Google launches a patch soon.
Update : found this article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/lollipop-memory-leak-fixed/

Everyone who complains about laggy units should check their available free memory because I am willing to bet that the 2013 model suffers from the same low memory issues the 2012 models suffered from.
If you are one of those (I used to be) who likes to load 500 lbs of software you use only once in a blue moon onto your device then you really need to look at getting a device with sdcard support because I have found that too much stuff on the internal memory is the leading cause of slow and sloppy units.

Dude. Read.

" The thread reveals that several Nexus devices ranging from the Nexus 7 (2013 model), the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5 were affected by the bug. The devices were eating up more than 1.2GB of RAM even though the normal usage is 500MB."

On a slightly different but related note, I don't like the idea of having to wipe the device to get it working smooth .Android devs should seriously test updates on older used devices b4 rolling out instead of Forcing millions of users to resort to wipe the device .
I wonder how this is done in the iOS world

Same complaints about OTAs failing, sluggish performance, bugs etc... All sounds the same, except for the rollback function.
Got a Nexus 7 (2013) wifi for xmas & first thing I did was get all the system updates to see if it would take it to lollipop but it stopped on 4.4.4
Only issue I'm having is most youtube vids wont play right, you see the small buffering circle then it plays for about 1-2 seconds then stops, mostly on the vids that have ads, some vids without ads play fine.
As I tend to watch a few youtube vids I might just use Nexus root toolkit to downgrade it back to 4.4.4 & wait for the 5.0.2 fixes.
Other than that I like the material design for the most part & I'm glad they have combined the notification & quick tile pages into the one.

Android 5.0.2 was released for Nexus 7 2012 only and included some performance improvements for that device only. The memory leak of LP was confirmed after that by Google for all Nexus devices, fixed (supposedly) and will be released to all Nexus devices hopefully in the near future

Yeah it would be nice, and works fine for some I guess but as of now I see it the same as with windows, you can upgrade but problems can and do happen.
Always best to do a clean install with a major release. 5.0 to 5.0.1 no wipe needed but 4.4.4 to 5.0? Definately. IMO.

Now just type in and check which apps are working with Lollipop
HERE
For those planning on keeping Android L!
Download link :
https://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html
Download image and use flash all.bat for windows. Make sure you don't remove -w from flash all.bat as android l needs complete wipe with clean install. All your data /apps on your nexus would be lost! Make sure to make a backup!
Read complete instructions for flashing an image HERE
Apps not working. I'll keep updating !
Apps that need a work around
Kernel working: (root is not fully functional on custom kernels)
-ElementalX works fine 2.13v but battery life extender doesnot work
-Bulletproof 2.2
-Franco (not personally tested)
-Glitch (officially in thread)
Rooting :
You will first need to flash latest twrp [given in link below] (2.7.1.1) and then boot into recovery and flash root.zip in twrp. Update SuperSU from Google play!
Root.zip link
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53715043&postcount=267
For recovery
Recovery links
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo
Or
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/flo
Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.
The stock ROM will automatically replace TWRP with the stock recovery. To prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP, boot TWRP, go to the mount menu and mount system, press the home button, then press Advanced -> File Manager. Browse to /system and select the file named recovery-from-boot.p then choose to rename the file to recovery-from-boot.bak
PROBLEMS WITH ROOT/BUSYBOX OR ANYTHING SUCH ?
Try this method :
-flash custom boot.img from here CUSTOM BOOT IMAGE
-download recovery from above and flash it using fastboot commands
-flash SuperSU from twrp. Link above
You can use NRT (Wugfresh tool) to execute these commands as well but you will need to choose custom images!
You will not get full root unless you are on busybox 1.22.1 stericson. The system is protected so flash custom boot.IMG/boot.zip via recovery to gain write permissions!
NO GALLERY APP
Surprisingly, there is no gallery app with Android L built in. Install from attachment like normal apk!
Push to system to make it a system app10Oh jeez, tomorrow all of the panic people are gonna be back. All saying "I didn't get it yet", what's going on?", "is it here yet?", " oh my god what is wrong with google?", "its so stupid that google does this". These update threads are my favorite. People act like google specially promised them lollipop on a certain day at a certain time and they didn't get it, and their device is going to explode and destroy their lives because of it. Lmao. And when they get it they will be back to complain about the bugs in it. And say " why didn't they just wait until it was ready before they released it?" And all the threads will pop up with the title "Lollipop ruined my tablet".
Now this is entertainment! Keep it coming. When you're dying for this update just remember that some apps won't run on art, some rooted apps will no longer work, and xposed doesn't work on ART yet. And many other reasons not to want to rush it. Keep in mind we will all have it soon. And not long after, all the things we love will be working properly. This place rocks and all of us together make android worth it. Now all the " can't wait" people need to hurry up and get back in here and get this thread Rollin again!97Uploading twrp backup
Hey guys I just made a TWRP backup of a fresh install of the L Release Developer Preview!
Currently uploading to Mega so I'll post a link as soon as it´s done... Also, if anyone knows a better client to upload the files tell me please as this is talking a while
Maybe someone will want to try it for MultiRom
