It\u2019s been less than two months since Android 5.0 made its public debut, and already Google is rolling out its second patch. An Android 5.0.2 factory image has just been made available for the 2012 Nexus 7, fixing a number of issues that have been plaguing users since Lollipop first arrived.
\nThe new release comes with the \u201cLRX22G\u201d build number, and it replaces the Android 5.0.1 patch for the 2012 Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi). It includes both the changes made in that release, as well as some other welcome bug fixes.
\n<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of these are adjustments in the kernel and startup scripts to boost CPU activity and maintain a bit higher performance,\u201d Android Police reports. \u201cThere has also been another fairly significant update to fstrim, the process responsible for pruning the filesystem of unused blocks to prevent lag when attempting to write to a location in NAND storage containing outdated data.\u201d<\/p>\n
Google has also addressed an issue with AlarmManager, a process responsible for waking the device when apps and services need to perform different activities.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been experiencing strange issues with your 2012 Nexus 7 since upgrading to Lollipop, then you\u2019ll want to get your hands on this release as soon as possible. It\u2019s only available as a factory image for now, so you\u2019ll need to flash it manually, but we expect the over-the-air release to come soon.<\/p>\n
We also expect Android 5.0.2 to be made available to other Nexus devices in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n
