In general, Android 5.0 Lollipop”supercharges” your Nexus device,
especially if you have an older Nexus device like the original Nexus 7
tablet or the Nexus 4 smartphone. Major changes include new Material
Design theme for the UI, new Material Design keyboard, super-fast UI,
full multi-user support, and much cleaner overall OS.
Attaining root is easy, just install ROM and the latest version of
SuperSU. There are still some compatibility issues on some root apps
but give it some time and app developers should have them all compatible
with Android 5.0 eventually.
Is it usable as daily driver? Yes, you won’t be disappointed as this
is the final version not a preview like last time. You can expect much
better performance, battery life, and new features.
If you have a Nexus device and you haven’t tried the official Android
5.0 Lollipop, knock yourself out this week(end) and enjoy the latest
software advances in Android today with root!
Here’s Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs for Nexus 4, 5, 7, and 10! (I should

Once you have a rooted Nexus device with CWM or TWRP installed, you can install the ROM as usual.
NOTE: Make sure you have CWM v6.0.4.3 or TWRP v2.6.3.3 or HIGHER! (Otherwise installation will fail!)
Reboot into CWM or TWRP recovery, do factory reset/data wipe, install ROM, install SuperSU v2.30 and reboot.
If you are missing Play Store, reboot into CWM or TWRP recovery then install Gapps (see above for download section).
If you don’t get the Lollipop launcher after installing, simply install “Google Now Launcher” app from Play Store.
