..features similar to the widget that came with LauncherPro.
I have LauncherPro Plus but prefer Nova for my GNEX & N7.
I'm currently using TweetCaster, but HATE HATE HATE the fact that I can scroll thru the tweets, but clicking on a tweet with a link or anything else, just opens TweetCaster and then I have to scroll down and look for the tweet I was reading.
Basically I want a Twitter widget (If it exists) that I can place on a homescreen, scroll thru the tweets on my homescreen, and when I click a link, opens up in the browser of my choosing.
Is there a widget that does this??
I'd like a launcher made.
Make it so I can pin 4 open apps to the home screen, and if I dont choose to, automatically have it so the 4 last used apps are pinned.
Swiping to the left opens a unified notification and messaging inbox. Facebook, Text, BBM, Twitter, Skype, Outlook, Gmail.. ect
Swiping up and to the left from any application open the unified inbox
the launcher would have the following screens
Left - Notifications and messaging
Middle - Pinned and running apps
Right - All applications, no need for an app tray.
Material design.
Is this at all possible?

I received a PM asking how to do this after a post I put in the Best Launcher thread so I thought I might share how I've had my phones set up for some time which gives the best of both worlds. Namely Nova as a launcher and Blinkfeed at the touch of a button for news updates and anything else you fancy which it does. I'm unsure if you will be able to do this with another launcher rather than Nova, I've not tried.
Go to this thread and download HTC Home and HTC Servicepack and install them as any other apk file via a file explorer. Don't forget to leave a thanks. The rest of the apk files in that thread are options, I don't use them myself but if you want things like Facebook and weather to work exactly the same as a HTC device then the options are there.
Once they're installed go into Nova settings. Then go to Gestures & Inputs -> Home Button -> Shortcuts -> Activities -> Sense Home -> Sense Home (the one with 'Launcher' written underneath).
You're done. This will set it up so that, when you're on Nova's homescreen, pressing the home button will launch Blinkfeed, pressing it again in Blinkfeed will take you back to Nova. At any other time the home button works as normal. You can also set it up so it works with a gesture instead, although I've always found the home button to be the best way of doing it.
Another thing worth doing, I've set up Greenify to automatically close Blinkfeed on sleep, this ensures it doesn't hog any battery in the background.
Thanks bro. It really helps!
This is great. I had some trouble in that the News Republic app I had installed was interfering with blinkfeed (not surprisingly) and not allowing it to populate. Once I removed NR blinkfeed worked great!
Is Blinkfeed significantly different than Flipboard, which can be installed from the Play Store?
Well this isn't working for me. By selecting the sense home launcher it is only opening the sense home app not blink feed.

Very much so. Blinkfeed is far better. Do a direct comparison and see what I mean.

Blinkfeed is part of that home app, swipe to the left. The easiest way of fixing this is to delete Sense home pages, meaning you end up going directly to the Blinkfeed page. The only downside of this is that the clock will always be at the top.
looking for one app to combine news, instagram and facebook feeds into one on my galaxy s7edge! Will this do it?

I really like a tidy phone. I like everything in one spot. I know I can create app links on the desktop. But i typically dont create any app links on my desktop. Does anyone know of a way or a replacement app drawer that would allow me to create Web link shortcuts in the app drawer. Even apps that are available on the app store, if I could get a Web page to work the same, the less apps installed, the better battery life and performance of the phone.
Also I do know about bookmark apps, but I don't like an app to hold the bookmarks. I want the bookmarks right in the app drawer.
Nova Launcher (Might need Prime)
Nova Settings > App & Widget drawers > Drawer Groups
Open the Folders tab, Create a new folder and name it "Web Links" or whatever you want it called
Now there is a folder in the Apps drawer called "Web Links"
Long press it, and drop it on the homescreen
Fill it with all your web links, check in the app draw, it should also be receiving those links
Once you are done, delete it from the homescreen, and it should remain full of your links in the apps draw
Tested and working fine here with Nova Launcher Prime 5.0 beta 3 (Likely works with the latest stable too)
my favourite app are PhotoMath, Control center, touch bar, Samsung internet Beta, Google keep, Flipboard, weather timeline, Evie launcher, Google Rewards, swiftkey,
