Hello all,
I wanted to share with you the version of Sense 7 Blinkfeed I created for my custom ROM for the HTC M8.
This is my own work, and has not been taken from any other developer. You can check the .smali if you want.
Noteworthy features:
Working HTC Theme Engine
Working GooglePlusPlugin, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Sense 7 Weather Animations
Included HTC Calendar for the calendar plugin
HTC Weather Clock Widget
Notes:
Have not tested outside my M8, but there's no reason why this won't work.
You need to be rooted and have busybox for the installer to work.
Don't ask about changing DPI/resolution/grid size. This is what it is, and I'm not going to blow my head up trying to mod it more.
For weather/clock to show in main screen, you need to set the blinkfeed page as home (longpress on home screen, pick Manage Home screen pages)

Kinda...Ok so we all know you cant actually get HTC sense ported to any non HTC phone but I came up with a combo of apps that work as a perfect mirror of it.
Launcher: He launcher- use this to add the Sense style lancher bar. Lots of options for sense style
Wallpapers: Pyramid wallpapers- Includes all your favorite HTC wallpaers
Clock: Fancy widgets pro- Tons of sense style clocks, H7C is closest to stock
Sense Animations: Fancy widgets Pro-Enable it by clicking on the weather icon on the clock>menu>configure>Advanced>Enable forcast animation and enable unlock animation.
Screenshot was taken on Motorola Atrix
All apps are property of their owners I take no credit for design or function... just the pack of them together
There's also a theme Chooser theme called ntsense that makes the status bar and stuff look like sense
google fancy widget 1.3. That looks exactly like the sense clock. HTC forced them to remove it, but you can still find it out there.
I used fancy widgets pro downloaded right out of the market yesterday
Hello All,
I wanted to ask about weather widget. I recently upgraded to CM7 now I dont have HTC weather widget on my desktop to the left of the main screen. Is there a way to put this widget in. I tried using add from menu and add weather but it does not look the same. Its smaller in size and not full screen like the stock used to be. I have HTC inspire.
Please help me if you know the solution to this.
Thank you
As far as I know, once you flashed CM7 you overridden the stock HTC Launcher so HTC widgets won't be available anymore. You'll need to search for a replacement on the maket.
Fancy widget is a good replacement. You can also purchase fancy widget pro if you want the animations
You should search for fancy widgets to get the latest version. it's indeed a good replacement for both HTC weather and HTC clock widgets.
As a side note, if you're missing some of the other widgets like contacts, calendar, facebook and others, you can try my new application Android Pro Widgets (search androidprowidgets on the market if you want to, but it is a paid app).
Edit: if this is against the rules please remove it, advertising was not my intention but I now realize it might be interpreted otherwise.
The weather widget (and just about anything that relies on Sense frameworks) are gone in CM7. There are however alternatives/ clones available in the Android Market like and Animating Flip Clock Widget (not perfect but pretty nice).
This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen

** Currently this app has been tested to work with Sense 3.6, 4, 4A and 4.5 **

Screenshots for want? The lockscreen and shortcuts are unchanged, just like they do with Rosie installed.

No, this app only works with HTC lockscreen.
Today I did some testing on various Sense versions and would like to let you know my findings:
Hybrid 4A (e.g. UKB X on IncS) - OK
Sense 4.1 (e.g. ViperX on One X) - OK
Sense 4A (e.g. UKB V on IncS) - No shortcuts in lockscreen
Sense 3.6 (e.g. ARHD on IncS) - Lockscreen shortcuts appears and update correctly but shortcut app cannot be launched when unlock
At this moment, my first priority is to support Sense 3.6. After that I'll work on 4A.
Just posted 1.2. Now supports Sense 3.6.
Posted 1.2.1. Fixed FC introduced in 1.2.
Updated to 1.3. Now support Sense 4A.
Version 1.4 just uploaded. Sense 4.5 is now supported. You MUST uninstall any previous version first.
Just uploaded 1.41. New option to hide app title.
I just want to share what i found on xda these days.
The htc ime has been ported, i've been using it on cm11 running art and is flawless

ITS NOT MINE,ALL THANKS GO TO GAKUGAKU FOR PORTING
Actually v12 blinkfeed doesen't work for me, it crashes when i open it, on art and dalvnik, cm11/slimrom, if you guys can make it work let me know
I was wondering if there was ANY possible way to get Blinkfeed on the GS7? I would prefer to not have to root if at all possible. I loved the approach of the newsfeed i was able to customize with it. I have been told to try Flipboard, but I do not like how it presents info and it seems to push more of it's agenda versus more of my social media/relevant info I want/need.
You can install HTC Sense or just blinkfeed since a dev on the site has managed to port the apk's, you'll find it here

Instagram plugin not working
Looks like the instagram plugin is no longer working as of 6/1/16. Does anyone have an updated version of the plugin?
I'm running HTC Sence / Blinkfeed on the GS7 combined with Nova launcher.
thanks!
