Got my security/stability update yesterday (Verizon) and am hoping for 6.0 after the new Nexus devices ship. *This is only what I'm hoping for and have nothing to go by.*
Posted via the Android Central App
Given I got my phone on Monday and forgot to unlock it, I just unlocked it and flashed it for a clean install yesterday (I'm on Sprint).
At work, I didn't notice much difference yesterday in battery life, though the % indicator in the battery was nice (still small though, so I'll keep Battery Widget Reborn). However, I've had today off. So far in 4 hours of use, I've had the screen on for 38 minutes, and just hit 89% battery life while I'm typing this. Then again, I'm fairly aggressive with power saving, and may not have fixed all of it yesterday (I did reboot the phone last night for the first time as it looked to have unusually high OS battery pull, but I just reloaded a bunch of stuff on it, so hardly average usage on Thursday). Today is more of my typical usage, and I'm quite happy.
The other stuff is minor, and some stuff I'm not sure if it's N6 over N5 differences or Marshmallow over Kit Kat differences. GMail is automatically sorting out some of my store offers and social media stuff, as well as grouping conversations, and I don't recall it doing that on the Nexus 5 (though I was using the old Email app till they took it away from me, so that may be part of the issue), though it did that on the 6 pre-M. Customizing the drop down shade options was nice too, let me save a bit of room for what I use it for, and nothing else.

I loaded the factory image last night. Can't get a good sense of battery but so far it seems to discharge less when not in use.
It's hard to tell though since I think the phone had been through so many updates and other software install/uninstall abuse that the lag and battery burn could have been that.
Definitely have a nice snappy phone again that's running nicely.
Question. I want to try the default launcher config (I saw it when I first booted before locking the bootloader) but once I had it import my old Nexus 6 backup settings the home screen I configured popped up (background and folders).
Any idea how to clear the Now launcher settings? I don't see a clear data option for the launcher app.

And leaving userdata intact gives no issues? Is it safe to do this?
I've only ever flashed all but userdata on incremental updates-- i.e, 5.1 to 5.1.1 or 5.1.1 to 5.1.1. Those are small updates, and still within lollipop so userdata is pretty compatible. I'm kind of worried that not wiping userdata when going to a new OS version might break things.

Pretty amazing battery life so far. Only 1h15m screen time, but a lot more call time than I usually have.

Hey guys, after how long does the doze kick in? I'm still waiting for the OTA and I've read that greenify is basically obsolete now with 6.0
