How hard is this version to root?
|
Easy,
I rooted my Nexus 5 the same day I installed lollipop, using Nexus root toolkit, instead of the SDK. I then grabbed some files and installed the Ambient display that comes with the Nexus 6, Ambient display works well, except that the wake when you pick up the phone doesn't function on the 5.
One thing that pissed me off was that many of the automatons I had set up using Tasker would not work with 5.0, Ill have to set them up again when he app updates. Smaller App developers are playing catch up.

How is battery life? It is claimed 5 will reduce power consumption.
|
I have not had to worry about battery life on the Nexus 5 with 4.4 or 5.0. Typically I unplug the phone at 6:00 am and it doesn't get plugged back in until 11:00 pm. After 17 hours of battery time with moderate call and data use, I typically have 25% battery left.

I type too much, multi-task too much, and like a windowed environment much more than a single-task one

Android 5 has a pretty good interface to toggle between apps.
Multi-tasking
