System UI Tuner In Android 6.0

[WeeWilly]

When I first read about Marshmallow's System UI Tuner I thought it might be a feature similar to Nova Prime. Maybe someday, but for now the features are limited. To turn on the System UI Tuner long-press the Settings gear icon. After a couple of seconds you should see a message that says the System UI Tuner has been added to Settings (the option should appear at the bottom of the Settings menu, just below "About phone.") I haven't experimented with it yet, but here's an article that explains the various options.

WeeWilly, what's the verdict on 6.0 and how is it better than Lolly?
thanks.

I'm not the best person to answer that question. I am happy with 6.0 but, because of the way I use my phone, I haven't used many of the new features in 6.0. For example:

• I use Nova Prime as my launcher and after upgrading to 6.0 and before installing Nova Prime, I took a look at the new app drawer that scrolls vertically. I have Nova Prime set up to scroll the app drawer horizontally, which I prefer.
  
• I put my phone on the charger at night so I haven't seen much benefit from the new Doze feature.
  
• I'm sure many people will make use of the new Adoptable Storage feature and set up their SD card as internal storage. I have a 32GB Moto X and I don't need additional internal storage. I prefer a portable SD card that I can remove to transfer photos and videos to my computer.

I haven't yet used other features such as the System UI Tuner or app permissions. I've read that 6.0 solved problems, such as speaker rattle, but I didn't have any of those problems. I was happy with 5.1.1 and I'm happy with 6.0. I'm sure there are improvements with 6.0 that I haven't yet discovered or used, such as the new app backup, app permissions, and monthly security patches.

I love the battery percentage indicator in the UI Tuner! Now I know exactly how much battery is left at a glance

With my older eyes I prefer a larger battery percentage indicator and for some time now I've used Battery Widget Reborn.
