Twitter was the platform used to let the world know what HTC Sense 6 looks like when it is running on Android Lollipop, or at least, that's what the leaked screenshots posted by LlabTooFeR (@LlabTooFeR, MaximusHD ROM Developer) showed.

On Nov. 19, @LlabTooFeR uploaded three screenshots of an HTC One M8 with a Sense 6 Android skin. The shots were of the quick settings shade, notification shade, and multitasking screen. Sometime later during the same day, @LlabTooFeR again posted one more shot. His actual tweet was "One more exclusive screenshot of Android 5.0 and Sense 6.0 running on HTC One M8."

HTC has been among the smartphone providers that have been consistent in their efforts to give users the latest updates. HTC promises the latest Android updates within 90 days from release.

Still, now that Lollipop has already been seen as an HTC OS, some users could become uneasy, particularly if they've already become used to HTC's Sense skin.

Not all HTC users like Sense, though. There was even a time when the Sense interface caused some confusion for users who had migrated to HTC smartphones from a Motorola or Samsung handset.

Sense did take some time getting used to, but when the new users who were able to get the hang of it finally reduced their set-up time, it became second nature to those users to just go with the flow and adjust to Sense updates.

But now that it's not just a Sense update but rather a Lollipop upgrade, will confusion return to those who already like Sense? Or will the beauty and functionality of Lollipop be enough to outweigh whatever inconvenience the sudden change might bring?
