How is the battery life and is blinkfeed as irritating in sense 6 as it was in sense 5? Thinking of switching to sense 6 from aosp pacman rom.
Battery life is amazing and blinkfeed isn't irritating at all, there's a disable switch if you don't want it, as well as the ability to keep it but use a different default homescreen.
It sounds like you haven't used sense in a really long time, it's quite improved since when Blinkfeed didn't have those options. Blinkfeed is really nice on Sense 6, there's a lot of new custom stuff and HTC opened up the development API to allow custom developers to develop for blinkfeed, FitBit is one of the new companies developing for blinkfeed, and Foursquare was another. I remember FitBit because my girlfriend has one and I'm trying to convince her why I need an M8 for her fitbit

Is this based on M8 dump from prototype version or actual retail build that ships with m8?
It's based on the latest test base that we had available at the time it was posted, new base from retail system dump will be along soon I'm sure, although I don't foresee many too changes as it's launching as such a nice rom.
