Lollipop has been so bad on my Moto X I would like to stop the upgrade on the M8. Is there a way to stop it so I don't get the nag screen (when the update starts to get pushed out)?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Umm, Lollipop is an operation system, while Sense 6 is just a launcher, so you can't really compare them.Alternating between both on a daily basis, I prefer Lollipop over Sense 6

With that being said, HTC is using Sense 6 as the default launcher for KitKat on their smartphones.
So there is a chance that HTC will develop a new version of Sense and use it as the default launcher for Lollipop.

BlinkFeed is just an app that show you feeds about whatever you want, it is not the launcher.Actually BlinkFeed is the launcher (which I don't even use)
Sense is the skin that HTC puts over android, in this case Sense 6 over Kitkat
Compare the HTC settings menu to stock 4.4.4 and you might start to get a clue
As I said, I prefer STOCK Lollipop to Sense 6 skinned Android 4.4.4

You don't make sense, pun intended. Disabling BF doesn't stop it from running. Many apps are launchers.BlinkFeed is indeed an app. It can be disabled. Sense is the launcher that runs on top of android. You will never get a sense update in Google play, but you will get BlinkFeed updates...because it's an app.

The following is from HTC's websiteBlinkfeed is an app and is the default launcher. Install another launcher of your choice and it'll ask if you want to use that or the Blinkfeed launcher when you press the home button until you set a default.
As for OTA updates, it may depend on your carrier. I've seen instances where it'll only let you delay an install for so long before just doing it on its own. In those cases, rooting is about the only option to let you block an update for good.
The following is from HTC's website
( BlinkFeed is HTC's attempt at moving away from the traditional homescreens of old on Android phones and bringing users something that will make the HTC One (and other models in the range) a little more unique. )
In other words, it is an app that can only be used as a homescreen, and considering that launchers take control over everything in the device, it is normal that you will be given the choice to choose between the launcher homescreen or keep using BlinkFeed as the homescreen.
