I absolutely agree with your perspective stated above; Lollipop does appear to have been created by three year olds with A.D.D. and extreme vision impairment. I have two Nexus 7 2012 tablets; the newer one updated, the older one still hasn't received an update notice yet...and I'm not complaining after seeing what it did to my newer tablet.



First off; blinding WHITE GUI - they have Material Dark as a built in style, why not put that simple option in Settings->Display as a NIGHT MODE option for those who value their eyes? Half the GUI is black, then white tabs, then full white screens (Settings), then back to some other neutral color. Holy Cow...I can't believe this was even approved.



Secondly, half the tabs have had their toggles/switches removed (as in the Settings section) and it's been so incredibly "dummified" that I wonder if I'm using someone's $36 VisuaLand device. Even when you go to Power Off, where's the Silent Mode and Airplane Mode option? Where is the confirmation screen? And it's BRIGHT WHITE like everything else. Ugh!



The Flappy Droid game and the Notifications Toggles are the only cool features I can use. Everything else needs to go straight back to Apple labs where it came from! KitKat was so dark, sleek, sexy UNIFORM and just plain pleasant to the eyes, especially in the dark where I use my tablets 100%. I certainly hope that Google whips out an update very soon to at least let us regain our bleeding eyes with a night mode (Material Design Dark) because I can't believe just how horrible Lollipop looks when I finally can see again.



KitKat v4.4.4 FOREVER!
