    Sometimes I feel that android pre Lollypop was quintessential android. KitKat was so good on the Nexus 4. I had zero issues and I still miss the ticker notifications. Much simpler times I guess.

      Back then, Android was more marching to the beat of its own drummer as it were and more dramatically crafting its design language, its visual identify.
