If you have a nexus 5 why aren't you on marshmallow?
- slight 11y agoNot OP but I found Lollipop pretty laggy and that it didn't add much I wanted, most of Google's updates come via Play now anyway. So also no reason to upgrade to Marshmallow either.
- tonfa 11y agoThere are many security issues fixed in OTAs.
- anowlcalledjosh 11y agoMarshmallow fixed many of the issues in Lollipop, plus you get security updates.
- krat 11y agoAnd (more relevant to the discussion), you can actually disable access to individual permissions regardless of what the app requires (though on apps compiled against older sdks there's no guarantee that they won't crash, but I found that it's not an issue in practice and most apps work just fine even if you disable access to things they supposedly require).
- on_and_off 11y agoThe revamped permission model is enough to make the update worth it IMO and that's not something that can be done via an app update.
- on_and_off 11y agoAlso, ART (the new vm introduced in Lollipop) was still pretty rough in Lollipop. IIRC it even has some memory leaks ... It is MUCH better in Marshmallow, so it is definitely worth upgrading because that's another thing where you just need to update the system.
