So I finally decided... Flashed a cut of Marshmallow PV2 to my Nexus 5. Had to do it, the Lollipop crap was getting kinda old, and I will admit, absolutely hated the experience.
I credit CM12 for making it better, but then that was shattered with 12.1, again making it as sloppy as 5.0 when it was first released.
Here's what I think:
It looks like an optimized Lollipop (yay) but at last, buttery smooth, increased battery longevity over 5.1 and surprisingly no FC'S or reboots. Installation went smooth, but uh...?
I downloaded a flashable zip of PV2 and used TWRP to flash. Only did a standard factory wipe, flashed the zip and done. I was previously running CM12.1, rooted with TWRP recovery.
After Marshmallow made it's initial boot, lost TWRP and root. Figured this would happen... But oh well. Started up nicely, runs great. Also received OTA of final PV3, that upgrade went smoothly also. Think I'll keep it stock and see how final cut is.
Overall, a better experience going from 5-6, unlike 4-5 upgrade nightmare that nearly destroyed my phone and pissed a lot of folks off.
Anybody else try it yet? I'm surprised there isn't much being posted in N5 forums, being among the first to get it. I like it, think I'll keep it stock until final, don't wanna bother with root yet since it involves custom kernel.
