[APP] HTC Sense Home Launcher for Non-Sense Devices - One (M8) Themes and Apps

So apparently HTC has been working on bringing its Sense Home Launcher to non-HTC devices. Their latest beta apk seems to work fine on non-HTC devices. So far I've tested it out on my M8 running the latest H14 GPE and it seems to work fine enough (although I feel it looks less polished than the Sense 6/7 version with regards to Blinkfeed). Anyway, here's the link to the apk. Be sure to install the latest HTC Sense Home 8.01.775526 beta from June 30th. Apparently earlier versions don't work.
DOWNLOAD
- Can only be installed on devices running Android 4.4+
- Does not require root

Test Notes
1. Blinkfeed works. However I couldn't seem to get Facebook to work. It asked for authorization but it just looped endlessly.
2. HTC seems to have brought the theme store to non-HTC devices as well. Have not had the chance to test it out thoroughly, so do report here if it does (or doesn't) work as it should.
3. If you were hoping HTC also brought the iconic Sense widgets like the huge clock + weather, you'll be disappointed. Didn't find any trace of it in the settings.

Also keep in mind this is still a beta product. Expect the occasional lag, stutter, crash or bugs here and there. Future updates may break compatibility with non-HTC devices so also keep that in mind.

it is saying app not installed in marshmallow stock on moto G 2015

Hi, RohinZaraki...
Well, I've just downloaded and installed this on my Nexus 9 tablet, which I suppose is cheating a bit 'cos it's built by HTC under license from Google... but running stock Marshmallow Android.
Anyhow, it works... sort of!
The major problem is it doesn't scale well for tablets. The icons are tiny and the app drawer looks vaguely ridiculous with tiny icons separated by lots of space, and with no way of changing the app drawer grid layout beyond 4x5.
And there's no way of adding more than four app icons to the dock bar.
On the upside, Blinkfeed works...
I was able to login to my Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts and they all display in BlinkFeed without issues. News Republic also works too.
Odd that Google+ doesn't seem to be available though.
-------------
Anyway, thanks for sharing this, RohinZaraki - it's appreciated.
I'd read somewhere recently, that HTC where planning on making the Blinkfeed Launcher available for the wider Android community. I just didn't when, where or how it was going to happen.
-------------
I've appended some screenshots of how it looks on my Nexus 9.
Kind Rgrds,
Ged.

The latest version (26 July) works very well:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co...-sense-home-8-01-786968-android-apk-download/
Version 8.01 is for non HTC devices (in case someone looks for future updates).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't install sense 8 on my Nexus 6p when I try I get not installed! Help

[PD98IMG] ACE_Gingerbread_20110314.zip [TEST ONLY]

Thanks to 911sniper....
PD98IMG_ACE_Gingerbread_20110314.zip - TEST ONLY!!! Flash with Caution!!
Enjoy
A little info thanks to Try4Ce:
Code:
My findings so far:
- Based on Gingerbread 2.3.3
- Build .25 as mentioned
- feels a little snappier
- only chinese and english included
- NO GOOGLE APPS
- NO GOOGLE ACCOUNT SETUP
- A lot of weird chinese apps
- HTC Market - Kind of a Google Market, but completely chinese
- Fonts are a little smaller
- Statusbar Notifications/Quick Settings buttons smaller
- Because of smaller font and images in Statusbar NO scrolling anymore when going to quick settings
- New Radio works flawlessly here. Good reception, fast GPS fix
- Vending.APK can not be installed
2nd Findings:
Code:
I will try some stuff. First I want to get google apps on there.
Got some apps from the Gingerbread build (Lee / Mike).
What works so far is:
- Superuser
- Root Explorer
- Bluetooth / WiFi / Mobile Data / Telephone / GPS / aGPS
Right now I am in the Google Account Setup. Lets see how it works out.
After that I will try to record a 720p Video and try out the Camera in total
3rd Findings:
Code:
Google Account is set up and works!
Contact Sync works, GMail as well, Google Maps too.
I realized they even stripped out Friendstream. Not the Widget itself, but the actual application (Facebook etc.). The Friendstream is being utilized for chinese community portals. Makes sense I guess, since I know that Facebook is kinda not available to the chinese people (I have a friend from china).
Going to integrate Friendstream as well... Doing all this step by step to prevent mistakes.
4th post by Try4Ce:
Code:
Okay, im kinda stuck with improving.
So far I got alot of stuff working.
- Google Apps + Google Sync
- Superuser
- SetCPU
- full english keyboard
Weird is that Mobile Data ALWAYS stays connected, regardless of an active WiFi connection.
All those chinese apps are confusing and a particular one ALWAYS crashes from time to time (dont know which one exactly).
HTC Facebook Integration seems really hard to achieve, dunno whats going on there. All needed files are there, but it just wont apply.
Location Service is NOT working. Weather App and Browser cant catch my location.
In total it seems like a totally stripped down HTC Sense UI Edition, which is actually pretty unstable. The new and smaller Rosie on the other hand seems nice to have. Gingerbread 2.3.3 didnt have a very huge impact on the performance, neither positive nor negative. It is still kinda sluggish and cant be compared to the already hugely optimized and smooth Froyo Sense UI 2.0 builds from our talented devs.
The new Radio seems rock solid. Strong signal, fast GPS lock. Dunno about the battery usage tho. Not enough testing.
Camera seemed to be similar to the previous build. And felt pretty laggy.
can anyone make a mirror?
Nice! Thanks for this.
Thanks, this could be 2.20?

New radio?
Sent from my Desire HD
Is this still a 'userdebug' build?
If so, does it feel less sluggish than the previous leak?
I have Radio S-OFF and Super-CID.
How can I flash this sucker? Always did Recovery Images to flash or Update ZIPs...
I guess it has something to do with fastboot right?
By the way, and now dont hit me with a stick or something: Who is 911sniper? Just wanna know who is so kind to provide us with those delicious builds
And of course thanks to TMartin03 to let us know

[Apps] The Seven+ Project

Roughly three weeks ago I decided to take the user interface library I was working on for Android to the next level in the form of The Seven+ Project. Myself, along with a number of other talented developers, are working on a suite of applications for Android using this user interface. Ultimately we are working to have this suite efficient, fluid, and interconnected. Do continue to check in on these applications as more features get added and bugs get fixed. We are always looking for feedback and bug reports. So check out our applications and our website and let us know what you think!
Unlike past initiatives we are a cooperative organization composed of independent developers, who, when using our using interface retain complete control over their applications. We are also about more than just copying; the PLUS in Seven+ is all about adding more features, customizations, and more.
Also a note to developers: we are looking for skilled developers that have made applications previously and want to adapt them using our user interface. Pretty much any standard application is fair game, so whether you have an email, calendar, set of widgets, or something else, if you want to make an application using our please contact us.
Links to a few of our applications:
- Launcher 7 by Timo Kujala
- Seven+ Calculator by Thomas Barrasso
- WP7Lock by Sami Musallam
- ZPlayer by Temitayo Odesanmi
- StatusBar+ by Thomas Barrasso
- Messaging7 by Omkar Deshmukh
Also follow us on Twitter, Google+, and check out sevenplusandroid.org.
Looks GREAT so far. I'm a fan of WP7-styled apps and I think this is a great project.
Thank you!
Haha ok so I don't know if you have any idea if what's going on but I downloaded the lockscreen to check it out (pretty cool btw) but went back to widgetlocker and everytime I press the home button it comes up with all my home apps and then I select one and I set it as default then when I launch a diff app and press home the ssame thing pops up. Its like the defaults keep getting cleared for some reason. Any idea what's going on?

In which way are you affiliated with the guys of WP7Android.com ?
@HearthC0re The closest thing to an affiliation is that some of the developers (notably those of ZPlayer and WP7Lock) are now part of our project. We are a collaborative organization of independent developers using a common user interface library that will hopefully make its way into a number of applications.
@dodgersrgood I suggest you send Sami Musallam an email as he is the developer of WP7Lock. His email is [email protected]
@xriderx66 Thanks, glad to hear it!
looks like an interesting project. keep it up
i think that you ought to offer a free version of your UI demo so that you can build some momentum support for your project. I think the windows phone UI is great and I would like to see it thuroughly baked into a rom, not just sitting on top of cm7 or something. Keep up the great work and I would encourage you to keep the community up to date with developments.
Also, there are some grammatical problems with your website.
Good luck!
@SimianJones I am not too sure about a ROM as we have neither a developer who knows where to begin, nor the honest desire. The problem with a ROM is that it would reach so many less people and require that one be built for each and every device. The UI I am building uses the Android SDK and is designed to work well with any application. While a ROM would be nice, it would have to be in the distant future when the UI is more mature, bug free, and when we find an interest in building a ROM.
Phew, that is enough of that. As far as updates, will do. We have/ are working on a better blog, our Twitter, mailing list, and more to keep those interested up-to-date.
I like the launcher but how do you add more homescreen?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I tried out the launcher and I like it. It does pose some problems with larger widgets. The launcher gives size options of one or two tiles. This squeezes 4 by x widgets making them harder, sometimes impossible, to use. For example, I can use BeWeather by using a larger font size in that widget's settings. I cannot use PocketBreeze because it cuts off the top of the widget and makes everything too small to see or tap, even with the large font.
I also noticed Launcher 7 pretty high on my list of app using the battery. I don't recall seeing my launcher high on the list, if at all. This is with a custom AOSP ROM, Gingerbread Deck.
This looks promising.
This looks like a great project. Keep up the good work
@Vertig Thank you!
@scottjb The developer of Launcher 7, Timo Kujala is aware of most of your concerns and working to fix them. With each update he hopes to use less memory and battery. He has also told me that he is working on a way of fixing widget sizing and such, but I am not sure how. Just pay attention to the updates and if possible purchase the donate version which gets updates earlier.

I just discovered that you all merged in this sevenplusnadroid project. Really nice to read. I eventually bought Launcher7 Donate 2 days ago so I could have latest update after using Free for a while.
Besides, I have battery drains and reading Launcher7 posts, some say it is, so I guess I found the culprit... but I won't stop using it (I made my own full WP7-style themed ROM including MMS, Notes, WhatsApp, Camera, Phone, Contacts and Calendar, although just themed them of course, so also installed Launcher7 and won't let it go).
Anyway, really waiting for the rest of your WP7 apps!! And you have my help here, although I think you all know much more!

Most probably, we don't have the same phone, since this isn't a specific phone's thread. Mine is a LG Optimus Black with NOVA ROM → WP7 Style
Just get any ROM you want and spend days and days theming it
I even made a WP7 keyboard (which looks MUCH more real and gorgeous than those "android wp7 keyboards and keyboard themes" that are published. But it's based in a paid app so...

Thanks for the response. I did purchase the donate version and am using Launcher 7 now. I look forward to the development of these apps.
how bout a good wp7 contacts app
Certainly looking for a developer who would want to work on a contacts application, but none is in the works currently.
This looks awesome. Very excited about this project. Played with launcher7 a bit
Thanks to everyone working on this.
Hey, great project.
But I'd like to request something.
Something, that every theme and project to resemble the Windows Phone 7 style.
A decent SMS app.
The only thing I found that resembled the style pretty good is this theme for MIUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174126
which also themes the SMS app.
But, well, you need MIUI for it.
So, please, consider doing a nice SMS app in the style of WP7. We really need it.

[ROM][25 Feb 13]Desire XS version 1.1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4]

DESIRE XS Version 1.1​
As you all pretty much know, while waiting for the ICS update for the Desire S there much anticipation among the community, even when HTC kept delaying the release we where always hopeful of what we might get, there was even speculation that we might get a nice sense 4 ui etc. But, no, when we finally did get an update it was a half finished rom full of bugs and sporting the bloat addled sense 3.6. HTC's response when asked why we didn't get a proper release or sense 4 was that our beloved Desire S just wasnt capable of handling either andriod 4.0.4 or sense 4 in any form, and what the released was the best we could expect.
Well the many talented Devs here at XDA set to work correcting the problem, both by fixing the "official" ICS update and through porting sense 4 to our device, and like a lot of you I jumped from rom to rom trying them all out but never quite found what I was looking for, so I set about making my own.
When I first started I had really only intended to do it for myself, after all I had never even decompiled an apk before, let alone tried to port my own rom, there was no way it would be good enough for the masses, but, then it turned out to work better than I ever expected it to, so I decided what the hell and uploaded it as a beta for people to poke at, in truth fully expecting people to tear it apart as they found bug after bug, instead, people loved it, offered encouragement and even started using it as there daily drivers.
Thanks to some hand holding by some of the fantastic devs here on xda, I started to learn the basics of smali editing so that I could start modifying the rom, and somewhere along the way I made a decision
HTC told use that the Desire S was unable to run ICS smoothly, nor could it handled sense 4 in any of its forms, so, I decided to prove them wrong. As a result I have mimicked a HTC release version as much as possible to show them what they should have given us instead of the garbage that they left use with, and this is the result
Desire XS version 1
Andriod 4.0.4 with HTC sense 4.1 lite based on the Desire X 1.18.401.1 RUU, running amidabuddha's b2b kernel.

If any of our more seasoned devs are willing to give a few pointers then their help would be greatly received.
Installation
As this rom has been fully odexed to mimic what you would get from HTC you require one of the following HBOOTS
7.00.1002
2.00.2002
2.00.0002
2.02.002
fblasot did a short write up on changeing your hboot HERE
I recommend that all users be on radio 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 before installing this rom, if you have issues with camera corruption @ 5mp then you definatly need to update your radio
As there are substantial changes to Version 1 compared to RC1 a complete wipe is mandatory before flashing, if you do try it with just wiping the caches and then have any bugs appear, please try doing a full wipe and then see if the problems exist before posting.
Similarly, if you restore settings and data with Titanium Backup or a similar products then encounter any bugs, please try reflashing without restoring anything first and then post if the problems continue.
First boot can take a few minutes as the system builds the cache for the first time, and after initial setup the rom will take a few minutes to settle as it sort out checking for mail updates etc.
After first boot go to setting/ display and buttons/ Recent apps button and select press for menu, press and hold for recent apps. this will make your buttons function normally except that recent apps will be on long press menu rather than long press home.
HTC-DEV unlocked users, don't forget to flash the boot.img of your chosen kernel via fastboot after flashing the Rom. The boot.img can be found in-
/extra/Kernel/(yourchosenkernelname)/

Changelog
Desire XS Version 1.1
GPS.conf scripts have finished there travels and are now actually in the Rom.zip
The correct Romanian fonts have kick out the old ones and have made themselves at home, this means that the dialectics in third party keyboards should show correctly. However, despit several scuffles the HTC keyboard stubbornly refuses to show them. It will have been beaten into submission by the next patch.
Someone finally rescued the the notification drag bar from the rack its been strapped to, and after a quick spruce up its looking it's normal self again.
Friendstream has decided not to insist on always being so attached to Facebook and Twitter, and after some discussion, they have found away to give space to each other when needed. This means you can choose from the following in the installer:-
Friendstream + Twitter + Facebook
Friendstream + Twitter
Friendstream + Facebook
Facebook + Twitter (no Friendstream)
Facebook only
Twitter only
Nothing at all (for the really unsocial, like myself.)
The status bar has been feeling generous all of a sudden and has decided that 2 options on install wasn't enough to satisfy everyone, so to try and cover all bases you'll now be offered the following:-
Fully Stock, (no mods at all.)
QuickSettings only
Battery Mod only
Carrier Name always shown only
QuickSettings + Battery Mod
QuickSettings + Battery Mod + Carrier Name
Battery Mod + Carrier Name
QuickSettings + Carrier Name
The aroma script realised that sometimes people like to change their mind, and alter what they installed with the Rom. So now when you dirty flash the Rom it will automatically remove any unwanted default apps from the last time you flashed the Rom. (the aroma would like you to note that this will only work on the installed apps and not on updates from the market, it advises that you uninstall any updates first before running the script.)
Patched kernel felt a bit left out, and after throwing a tantrum has been allowed to join b2b kernel in the installer, just be careful when playing with patched, its been reported that he could possibly be a bit grumpy sometimes.
After getting a little self concious over its extra size the "reboot to recovery" icon has gone to a slimming camp for a bit, one of the more traditional icons has stepped in to cover it position till it gets back.
The record button in Notes has stopped sucking its stomach in after it realised it look ridiculous and looks like its normal self again, which we've assured it looks much better.
Desire XS Version 1
Base has grown up and is now 1.18.401.1
Your Carrier will no longer scream for your attention by permanently sitting in the notification bar yelling "here I am, here I am" (there will be flashable zip available that will invite it back if they find they miss it.)
As all it wanted to do was sit there and look pretty, Quicksettings has given the Power Efficiency toggle a slap and sent it packing for the time being. (I believe this code is there ready to be implemented in Sense 4+, I may look at porting the rest of the code from 4+ to get it working once once I release version 1.)
Build.prop redone, no more black screens in certain apps
Extra files that had taken up residence in the /system/bin have all been evicted
Services.jar has been given some fuss and now no longer feels the need to randomly throw errors at things to get attention
The free version of dropsync will no longer have a hissy fit over not having the pro key is installed and start doing what its supposed to. (hey, I had a blond moment on a system dump, guess I should stop working on the rom at 4:30 in the morning after a bottle of rum.)
Apps such as GPS Status and toolbox will once again believe that we have a compass.
Friendstream has stopped sulking and will now allow you to add you twitter account.
Aroma installer decided that just clumping all the apps into big bundles was perhaps a little lazy, and now offers a listing of all the apps so you can can decide exactly what extras take up residence in your phone
The GPS thought it might be nice to at least know which continent its starting on, so has convinced aroma to let you choose where you are during install.
Bluetooth has spawned some new profiles and has reluctantly conceded that it should identify itself as saga not as VilleC2, hopefully it will no longer snub certain car kits.
Google Now has doubled its wardrobe and offers a choice of original or inverted outfits when you install it.
The injuries to the music app in RC1 have been healed so you can once again choose what app is shown in the bottom right of the car app.
After advice from its creator B2B kernel has moved in to run everything, I will make up some flashable zips with the latest patched verson if people want them, but patched can be a bit grumpy and sometimes throws tantrums.
Fed up with being crowded the libs folder has moved out from the system partition and into the system_lib partition where it can stretch its legs.
The rest of the system partition on seeing how comfy the libs were also decided to stretch out and is now fully odexed.
Fed up with hearing what a crap job they where doing the camera and media profiles have got together and done what they can to try and improve picture quality, this has resulted in an increase in the jpeg files weight to warn those that perhaps might be watching there sd space.
about a million other little things that I'm forgetting right now.
Desire XS RC 1
hwcomposer.msm7x30.so bug at boot is now fixed
HTC sound enhancer modded to include extra profiles (all credit belongs to lyapota.)
Google Now added as an optional extra. (not sure where I first got this so all credits to the original dev.)
Users now have the option to install a Rosie with seven homescreens instead of the usual five. (My thanks the lowveld for his guidance on this.)
Disappearing lockscreen icons will no longer be an issue
Video Preview should be fixed for those few who had some corruption when leaving the preview active
Autobrightness and captive backlight levels tweaked
fonts updated, all dialectic's should be fixed
other bits and pieces that I'm forgetting about
Desire XS beta 2.01
Cleaned out lib partition and all apps that can be downloaded from the app store removed from /system partition, users will now have around 60-70MB of free space in /system to play with (That is assuming you install all the additional mods.)
Tidied up build.prop, a number of tweaks have been removed while I go through and see which ones are really needed.
Auto brightness levels adjusted, those who had problems please test and let me know if they need tweaking further.
Removed Network Selection and settings from Quick settings, we're not a cdma device
Install is now aroma scripted so people can choose mods at install.
GPU rendering will no longer be enabled by default in dev options.
A few bits and pieces I have probably forgotten about.
This is the first time I have ever scripted aroma so please ensure you backup before installing just in case (I would also backup your sdcard after you backup your rom to be double safe, unlikely that anything that bad would happen but never hurts to be over cautious. The script will offer to do a full wipe, I would advise you use it as it will also clear out some files on your sdcard that are used by the system.
I have taken the system dump from my phone where everything seems to be working fine so hopefully bugs will be to a minimum and everything will work as it should for everybody.
Oh also this script is a little rough and it occurs to me that some apps I perhaps should have had left singular in the options menu of the installer,(such as Gmail and youtube) if people let me know what apps in particular they would like to be able to choose individaly, I will update the script accordingly for the next release (which if all goes well and people no longer report camera issues etc I hope to be at least the RC version.)
Desire XS beta 2
Added APM
Added a basic menu to Rosie
Activated QuickSettings
(Experimental) Added some tweaks to build.prop
(Experimental) Patched services.jar ready for Supercharger script
(Experimental) Activated HTC Recent Apps Fusion.
All the experimental parts are things that could have an effect on performance and maybe removed depending on reports from users.
All Smali edits have been down by hand so if there are any problems I should be able to track down the issue fairly quickly.
Desire XS beta 1.6
Camera 100% fixed, all modes now work, including
Taking stills while filming
Burst mode
Face recognition
Smile capture
HDR
Panoramic Mode
Everything else
Camera.apk restored to the correct one (taken from lowvelds fallout rom) so HD record and burst modes restored
Wifi Tethering now fixed
Desire XS beta 1.5
As personal issues are going to keep me away for the next week I am releasing an early update I haven't done any where near as much as I would like but hopefully it will be enough to keep you all going till I can get back at it at the end of the week.
Video playback is now fixed and working flawless
Removed some G apps that can be downloaded from market, (Video, Books, G+), and Tell HTC software
Updated chainfire supersu to latest version
Added 4EXT Recovery Updater. (At least gives you guys a way to reboot into recovery). Thanks to maddmax82 over at 4ext.net for permission.
Modded the keyboard files so that the menu key now behaves like the app switcher key on the Desire X so you can access the Recent Apps List. Press it once for your recent apps, long press it for menu. This can be reversed in the settings so that it pulls up menu on a single press and recent app on long press. This is just a temp solution till I have time to implement recent apps properly. I will also load up a flashable zip to change recent apps to the search key for those that prefer it, but beaware that this will remove all search functions from the search key, even on long press.
Beats now really does work, and doesn't just show a fancy message anymore. (got a couple of people to test it as i'm too deaf to hear the damn difference.)
Updated kernel to Tweaked X
Desire XS beta 1
Initial release​
I'm waiting to solve this bugs, and thanks for the rom :thumbup:

No, that is based on the rom from the One X, which has full sense and has been resized to fit our devices, this is from the Desire X, and is sense lite, but doesn't require any resizing at all.
Due to the Desire X having very similar spec to the Desire S, this rom runs real smooth, even before overclocking, at 1.5Ghz though it really flys.

You should ask Team Venom to allow you to use Venom Tweaks. The more often I use various ROMs - the more I understand that the presence of Tweaks can really make the ROM to stand out among others. And I believe that this ROM + Venom Tweaks could actually become a big benefit, especially since there is no resizing difference or issue like some Sense 4 ROMs have/had

Team venom doesn't allow anyone to use their tweaks, no exceptions. Most of the tweaks probably won't work anyways considering this isn't a full sense ROM.

What is sense4.1 lite?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Sense 4.1 lite is the version of Sense found on the Desire X. It's called lite since it doesn't have all the features like 3D animations, fancy lockscreen, or full Sense 4 launcher like the One X/S ROMs do. The good thing is that being a minimal rom, it will probably be bug free, have no resize errors, and be very fast.

Wonder how this will compare to Fallout Evolution once it exits beta. Looking forward to this rom when it's released in a final version.
I v never seen 4300+ score in antutu with our device.... Will definitely try today

[Launcher Sense Exclusive] HTC Sapphire UI

HTC Sense users look for 2 things. An experience to match the beauty and perfection of their HTC ONE or get the closest to a Google Experience without ruining their HTC Sense experience. I've done both... The solution you ask? Ive built a hybrid just for us.
Based off of the AOSP Launcher3 latest revision in kitkat and my private OpenSense SDK, Id like to introduce HTC Sapphire UI for HTC ONE. Sapphire is an exclusive 3rd party launcher designed and built specifically for the architecture of the HTC ONE device lineup and OpenSense SDK offering users an unbelievably smooth and Google/HTC hybrid experience. Sapphire offers users a launcher experience that both meets the expectations of Google fans and Blinkfeed fans as this launcher is binded to both Blinkfeed and Google Now.
Current Features (Going based on Dev Preview)
*Based on latest revision of Launcher3 kitkat
*Built on SDK21
*Built on OpenSense 7 SDK
*Mirrored off HTC Framework
*Activity and Custom Shortcut support
*HTC Widget Support
*AOSP wallpaper crop support
*Google Now always listening support
*HTC Blinkfeed persistant support
*Optimized Interface for HTC Sense
*Super Stable User Interface
*Highly Modified Launcher Activity based on Prism
*Google Sync (WIP)
*Gesture Recognition/Launch
*Swipe motion detection
*Sapphire wallpaper chooser (choice of wallpapers)
*S-Dashboard
*Sapphire Search Bar
*Sapphire Time Clock

Eh, only reason they'd do that is if i managed to actually make something better which I doubt that be the case
Thats almost like saying were not aloud to have roms out like Insertcoin, Renovate or Vipor Mod
Glad to be part of the testers, very nice work for an alpha :good:

One of 2 things could cuz this as I see InsertCoin users are having the same problem. A feature request has been modified in the rom to the point, Sapphire doesn't understand it or the model ID number doesnt match of what it should be in Google Play to talk back to compatibility list.
I will be investigating this

Any questions, comments, concerns?
Small update will be pushed later. Patch for DNA and Butterfly devices?
Yet another concept of an App Drawe Icon (now smaller)
Blinkfeed Holo icon still needs some work

[PROJECT] HTC Sense camera/gallery on CyanogenMod/AOSP

EDIT: Looks like I was beat to this project by digitalhigh, check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/app-sense-camera-gallery-m8-rom-t3008262
First off, apologies if this is in the wrong subforum but I can't post to any of the development ones, due to this being my first post (on this account, I think I had an old account but I can't remember). So, hopefully I'm not doing this terribly wrong or anything. However, I do have something a bit interesting that I honestly didn't think would work: HTC Sense's camera and gallery working on CyanogenMod.
I've been wanting to switch back to CM for a while, since my old phone was a Galaxy Nexus. But, I didn't want to have to give up the camera features from HTC Sense. The camera on CM12 absolutely sucks when compared to the HTC Sense camera. I've been looking around for a solution, and every post I found said that getting the Sense camera/gallery to work on an AOSP-based ROM was impossible. I didn't believe that, so I tried getting it to work myself, and figured out that's not really true. None of the apps or libs were modified, they were simply pulled off the latest HTC Sense release.
Current usability
Camera app launches, you can take pictures (+ burst mode works). Gallery also is working mostly.
Current issues
These are still the issues I'm having. If anybody else could help me figure them out, I'd be really happy. I was able to figure out getting this running so far by using logcat.
- Video recording is stuck on very low video quality. MMS (176 x 144)
- Zoe camera is not usable (possibly because of above)
- Manual camera mode crashes the app
- Minor interface bugs
- Probably a lot more

Check my attachments to this post. Note that the navbar/status bar do go away, I just had them there to show I was still in CM12 when taking them.
Release?
For now I'm not making a release, but if you install all the apps/libs listed, you'll be where I'm at. Maybe if there's enough demand I'll create a flashable ZIP.

I was totally unaware this was done already. Now if only someone could get BoomSound working, I'd be super-happy.
version app
(google translator) good day. I wonder if the original camera from the m8 has a slow motion option? for successfully adptei the camera with my my s5 CM12. but I found this option. if you have to do send me the version of your camera. because the gallery'm already at the last. but the camera I'm not sure
Hello there
Is this list of apks/libs working for AOSP based marshmallow ROM? Like CM13 or Dirty Unicorn. HTC One M8 running Marshmallow with Sense 6 is not smooth enough for me. Really want to switch to ASOP based ROM but HTC Camera is too good to give up. Looking forward for some solution, that would be so awesome.
