Hey guys.
I'm on a dilemma for the past couple of days.
I'm currently on a stock 5.1.1 rom, rooted with some tweaks and mods including xposed framework and androplus kernel for example.
Performance is great and battery life is even better, I get easily 5-6 screen on time.
I've seen that marshmallow is out, and I'm thinking long and hard whether to update or not.
Mostly thinking about the ExistenZ rom since it has a lot of nice features.
TL;DR:
My questions are:
Should I update to 6.0?
Is 6.0 good for everyday usage?
Any experience to share you 6.0 users?
Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Be sure to make a backup! I am also on lollipop, I tried to update to mm with root, everything goes fine but a strange thing happens, my phone won't switch off! Whenever I select 'power off' option, the circle keeps spinning and it gets stuck there! I have to force shut down it!
I tried each and every method mentioned but nothing helps. Now I am back to lollipop.

I did backup and restore.
I've had major issues with MM until now, but I fixed them, did a clean install and used the bootloop fix and now it seems to work nicely.
Power off also works as well, using ultraslim rom .570 .
Don't forget to flash the D6502 patch too!

Nah, I used one .575 ROM that was available already.
Just flash it, and flash the fix provided.
You should be ok.
