Sense 7 has been out for some months already and one of its best features is theming capability. The Themes app is available on devices running Sense 6 on Lollipop, but most stock apps still follows the old theme system, which only has 4 themes.
Luckily, some of the Sense 7 apps can be installed on Sense 6 without root. Here are the ones I've tested on my M8Sx (single-SIM, WWE Asia). Some of these apps are available on APKMirror and the rest are extracted from Sense 7 ROMs or system dumps of the M8, M9, or A9. They can be uninstalled cleanly - if you can't uninstall them from Settings, try dragging them from the app drawer to the trash icon, or using an application manager.
Camera 7.30.581119 (23 Jul): Not much has changed apart from a few visual tweaks. The app seems to take photos a bit faster.
Contacts 7.0.502006: This also includes the dialler with white buttons.
HTC Mail 9.0.550299
FM Radio 7.0.549341 (26 Jun): Fixed problem with application header.
Calendar 7.01.591006 (6 Aug)
Tasks 7.1.658473 (17 Nov)
Sound Recorder 7.0.549341 (26 Jun): (Note: By default, recordings are stored in the phone's internal storage - if you've set it to Memory card before, you'll have to set it back again in the app.)
Clock Widget 7.50.628268 (21 Nov): Two new clock widgets are available - a THEMABLE transparent one and a solid one. This version is taken from the new A9's system dump.
Other widgets: Auto Rotate, Background Data, Bluetooth, Calendar, Contacts, Data Roaming, Data Controls, GPS, Hotspot, Mobile Network, Music, Power Controls, Profiles, Ringtones, Screen Brightness, Screen Timeout, Sync, Wi-Fi. I haven't got the time to test all of them, so please report if they don't work. Most of the widgets look the same - the only difference is that they now follow the new theme's colour scheme.
Two small apps: Archive Viewer 7.0.623146 and Make more space 4.0.552526 if you want even more consistency.
Personalise 7.1.631213: This app lets you download and apply fonts from the theme system of Sense 7. Tap "Font style" and then the plus icon to download fonts, but don't tap "Apply" - the app will tell you something is missing and try to download the font again. Instead, go back to the font list and select your font. Note: You won't be able to choose Sense 6 themes. Uninstall this version to get the old themes back.
Here are some images of the new apps: http://imgur.com/a/ZaI5u#0
In case you haven't noticed, some of the apps have square dots on the menu button and some have round dots. The ones with round dots are taken from MaximusHD ROM, based on Android 5.1. Perhaps on 5.1, Sense 7 will go with round dots like stock Android.
If i install these apps can i get the original app update released by HTC in play store?

Of course. You only need to uninstall the Sense 7 version first.

Most of these apps I've listed here are either not on the Play Store (such as Contacts, widgets, Mail, Calendar) or their latest versions are not compatible with the E8 (Camera, Tasks) so there is no need to check for updates.
To uninstall them, drag them from your app drawer to the uninstall icon on your home screen.
By the way, you should uninstall the Sense 7 Clock app (not the widget!). It's available on the Play Store and is compatible with the E8.
Thx for the apps. Would be great if You could extract and upload an sms app

I had a question regarding the themeable clock widget, is it totally themeable? Like even on the homescreen we'll be able to get different clock styles from the themes right? Did you check whether it's working properly or not?
Also, do the dialer and contacts app work properly? Without any crashes and bugs?
Thanks a lot btw.

The transparent clock is totally themeable, but the solid clock isn't and always looks like the default one on Sense 7. Take a look at the album I've posted and see for yourself.
I haven't got any problems with the contacts and dialler app, but my phone is single-SIM and I extracted that app from a single-SIM ROM so it may not work on dual-SIM phones. Luckily, it's easy to uninstall the app in case anything goes wrong. If the app doesn't work for you, try using the apk from BinDroid.

Have you tried the latest camera app update which came out 3-4 days back? Does it work with the E8 too? Any clue where I can get that apk if it works?
I tried contacting HTC about why the camera isn't available for E8 via playstore. They said it was an issue with Google and will take some time to fix.

It's on APKMirror. I edited my post yesterday to include the update. APKMirror has a Pushbullet channel to check for app updates, so if you've got Pushbullet you can receive notifications for them.
I installed the programs below and all works very well
•Camera 7.15.563434
•Contacts 7.0.502006
•HTC Mail 9.0.550299
•FM Radio 7.0.549341

Why my htc Desire 826 can't install music(sense 7).apk?

Can you rename the music's sign?

My launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. I focus on simplicity and rock solid stability. If you do not agree with that and would rather have experimental features, you are in the wrong thread.

Ended up wiping and starting fresh with the O developer preview. After doing so, Launcher3 installed without issue. Is there any way to get the Pixel icons working with this? I downloaded the Pixel icons for 7.1.2 from apk mirror, but it doesn't seem to have taken. Thanks.
Working great on LG Aristo, Suggestion: icon pack support.
Please either add pixel icons or icon pack support. Would make this the best launcher ever!!!
Its like dream come true for me... using it on my Galaxy S8... But I have two requests and an issue:
1. could your please support pixel exclusive automatic round icons for supported apps... it is possible as Action Launcher 3 has this feature with Round Icon Option on non rooted phone.
2. Is it possible to overwrite app closing animation like stock android (slide down). this feature is available in Nova Launcher through "Reveal App Animation". I don't like the default zoom out closing app animation of my Galaxy S8.
3. Check the screenshot: the Navigation bar color is muted .. not white .. gray color.. this is related to Poor Samsung design... Nova launcher has fixed the issue... But each and every other 3rd party launcher has same problem.. kindly look into the matter..! Thanks..
[Screenshot of Galaxy S8 muted color navigation bar..!](http://i.imgur.com/NF8JcFh.png)
Thank you.... Much appreciated work...
Thanks for share.. keep the good work continues..
Thank you for ur work but thanks even more for making a thread here on XDA!
Fix status bar
https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.3
- Possibly fixed Samsung's Secure Folder and MIUI from causing crashes
- Updated the requested Google Now overlay version from v0 to v5, like the O Pixel Launcher
- (EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL) added an entire library of obfuscated code to get the app shortcut row working
- Added a toggle for the app shortcuts, so you can disable them if they do not work properly
- Force the Pixel colours throughout the app, including the widgets and preferences
There is also a version without the entire app suggestions library in it, if it causes any problems you should try that one.
Anyway to get round icons without needing to change systemui or have root access ?
:good: Lawnchair is amazing!!! Thank you very much!

Google crashes? Oh man, that's a new thing I've never heard before. Only way I can get that to happen is in an emulator with a broken Google app variant. Is your G App up to date?
Hey, thanks a lot for your launcher, looks dope !
Just to let you know it has been featured on the biggest French - Android website today, so your Github might receive a bit more traffic
On a side note : I've tried it on my Galaxy S8, and I was not able to get the weather to show, irregardless of the number of time I've pulled down the cards to refresh google feed.
Do you happen to have an idea on how I could fix it ?
Also on a side-side note, would you implement icon support into it ? As with samsung ROMs we have the ugly looking icons instead of rounded/pixel ones.
After i updated my phone to android 9 game launcher doesnt work as good as before
When i would use the built in recorder feature and swiped down to see notifications and stuff iit would get captured
But after pie they are being showed as if this was just a cheap screen recorder from play store
I know that the app has been updated a couple of times but it doesnt appear on galaxy apps and when i try to install the latest version from apkmirror it keeps saying app not installed
How can i install the latest version?
For years I've been running first Nova, then SmartLauncher on all my devices. I made it a habit to at least freeze, sometimes delete the default launchers. So I also did on my OP6, and it wasn't any problem until I update from OOS 9.0.9 to 10.0.1 over the last weekend. After the (OTA) update I first re-activated Smart Launcher, then froze OnePlus launcher using Titanium, like I always did.
But then I realized that the navigation bar's "square" button had stopped working: no more recent apps pop up. The button shows the "pressure" but doesn't do anything.
I tried to add the "recents" function to some other gesture, but still no success. Rebooted several times, deleted caches through TWRP - nothing.
Next I un-froze OP launcher and activated it. That's how I got back the "recents". Then I made smart launcher my default launcher again >> recents still working.
Next I froze OP launcher again >> again no more recents
So I thought that this must be a bug of Smart Launcher. Luckily the devs today released an update (V 5.4), but that didn't help in my situation.
NExt thing I tried was installing a 3rd launcher - back to Nova. But >> exactly the same behaviour: as long as OP launcher is "there" I have access to the recents. If not, then no more recents, no matter which launcher I use.
Questions:
is anyone else seeing this?
does anyone know whether this is unique to my OP6, or to OOS 10.0.1 in general, or do other devices see the same behaviour?
Never frozen op launcher! This program contains gesture and other base function since android 10.

Yep, that's what it looks like. So you mean this is a unique "feature" of OP devices running stock OOS?

Not only oneplus "feature". Other device too. My previous phone could not work gesture, when freeze stock launcher: Xiaomi Mi A2.
My issue might be related.
I updated my OnePlus 6 to OOS 10.0 stable when it was released.
However, due to the missing "fastboot boot" feature, I couldn't re-flash TWRP (and Magisk).
Now that 10.3 was released and "fastboot boot" works again, I booted TWRP, flashed it and then Magisk according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213
Now - everything works fine - only the recent apps feature is totally broken (as in - I press the recent button, nothing happens).
I run SmartLauncher and do NOT have the OnePlus Launcher frozen/uninstalled.
I tried to install the OP Launcher 2.5.1 (to get vertical scrolling back) - didn't help.
Installed most recent OP Launcher - still, no change.
I force closed the launcher, rebooted, so far nothing helped.
Any ideas?
Kind regards

Android 10 fully integrates recents with stock launcher, so if you stop the stock launcher, recents screen won't work anymore
Are we talking about the Android Stock launcher, or the OnePlus stock launcher?
I have the latter installed, and it's neither stopped, frozen or anything like that. I even made it my default launcher for a moment, still the recents button does nothing...

Hard to say what's going wrong. From what I get recent functionality now is part of the OP launcher.
Setting your installed OP launcher the default launcher you should have recents back. If not then something must be wrong with your OOS version.
Just checked: with OOS 10.3.0 my OP launcher's version is 4.1.1.191125... and so on. Is that your version as well?

Yeah, same version, ending on ...1307ad5. Afaik it auto-updates via Play Store.
So, it "should" work, but it doesn't. I'll try to redownload 10.3 and reflash it, hope that it restores something that I broke...

Hi Thanks for the info, as a quick update Ive found that if I dont set any launcher as a default then the recent apps works fine, but as soon as I set any to the default launcher status the recent apps menu doesnt work anymore
I could set Poco as the default but I have launched it and gone through all the permissions etc. but when I launch another launcher I actually want to use the recent apps button no longer works, so either way its no good unless I never set any app as a default launcher which is ridiculous
Not sure how I can fix it either theres not much support on XDA on this phone, although overall its a good phone just let down by Android 10.
Maybe possible that I resent the device and not let it update to Android 10 although its all set up to go :crying: in the hope that Android 9 doesnt have this affect. Is there any scripts or fixes out there for forcing the recent apps button to work overriding the permissions set?
Any help appreciated on this unusual error :fingers-crossed:
---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------
Also Im wanting to use Smart launcher 5 but the Poco looks stock ish but Ive never liked this. I have the Armor X5 so Poco is the default on installation. I know there was much issue with Oneplus 6 phones, but Im not using gestures (dont like it) I just want stock android recent apps button to work.
Ive tried over laying navigation apps but of course none will work once a default launcher is set.

Hello there,
I just updated the Oneplus Launcher (to version 5.0.2.3.210107152713.2314693) via the PlayStore and since then it immedately stopps working as soon as i press home / recents. This happens also when I switch to an alternative launcher like Nova. When I try to uninstall the Oneplus Launcher from the PlayStore, the phone is not responsive when opening home / recents. With Nova the OP launcher no longer crashes, but looks kinda weird:
https://imgur.com/YP8kqXG
I am having the same problems with older versions of the launcher from apkmirror. It either does not respond or immediatly crashes.
I am running stock OxygenOS 10.3.7 on the OnePlus 6.
Any help is appreciated :3
Hey there!
I'm currently going through exactly the same, also on a OP6 running OxygenOS 10.3.7. After I uninstalled all launcher updates in the app settings I now get the same weird-looking recents menu as you do. At least it works again.
I tried installing several prior versions from apkmirror.com but all of the 5.x versions lead to a non-working menu and home button. All 4.x versions result in this ugly recent screen.
I'll let you know as soon as I find a solution.
Greetings, hundertzwoelf
Edit:
Oh my..I figured it out. The problem was caused by an overlay I had installed via the Swift Installer. After uninstalling the theme it all works very well for me.
Uninstalling all my Substratum themes solved the issue for me too, thanks.
