I haven't seen a thread for this but there may already be one. I was wondering if there is a widget that allows you to control your TV from the home screens rather than having to open up TV app. It isn't a big deal to have to open the app it would just be easier to have a widget.
Thanks for any and all help.

If you use it often, you can click and drag it from apps to your quick launch bar with the phone or email or Internet.

I do use it very often but I use those other apps even more so I am keeping them there.

You can add to it and it automatically creates a folder. See my home screen.

Yeah I did that at one point. Just didn't care for how the folders look. I guess I was just really hoping there was a widget. Like how it is in the notification center. but on the home screen. I also think that htc should have spent a little more time on this functionality and made it so that the notification center banner action executed the remote actions rather than taking you back to the remote app.

Got it. FWIW, Nova Prime launcher has multiple/scrollable quick launch menu without the folder.

Is there a way to get missing htc apps like htc notes+widget htc hub flash light app and fm radio as an installable APK without root
Good call, I didn't realize they weren't included..can anyone provide these apks? Or is it as simple as copying them from my Dinc to the SD card and installing on the phone?

TeslaLED in the market is a great replacement for flashlight. Can't get the htc hub.

Yeah, I was wondering where the flashlight widget was after I got to go through my phone yesterday. The greedy bastards at Verizon strike again.
TeslaLED works well enough, but I love the three levels of intensity offered by the HTC widget. I wonder if anyone has done an app that gives you a slider to vary the light intensity.
Haven't tried all the flashlight apps, the market has too many. Once we get root you can use the htc flashlight apk.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
The one called LED Light is HTC themed.
I don't see why having root would make a difference for the HTC Flashlight app. Maybe there's a reason that I don't know. I have that apk and it will not install.

Might not be compatable with 3.5.

It's a system apk and will not install except with a root level adb push. It may also need libs that are not there.

I was able to get it to "work" on my phone after sending the apk to my phone and copying it to /system/app using root explorer, however it only works on one level instead of 3 like on the Dinc.
I was able to get the apps needed to install by hacking the manifest but I can't get the htc options to load.
Im still working on it. I got to at least show the get more options on each category

that's not on this phone. it's on every sense 1.0 phone, but not the higher sense ones. all it says is "show all HTC widgets" instead of "get more htc widgets" like it used to..and show all just litearlly shows all of the HTC ones on the phone in one list. annoying.

Yeah we need hub.
from what i can see there are about 5 apps needed for htc hub to operate. i was able to get them to install and myhtc to install by hacking the manifest. there is still something crucial missing. perhaps libs as nils said. hard to trouble shoot without root.
on sense 3.5 it is different. the get more options is on the top right instead of at the bottom like on sense 3.0. as i said i was able to get that to show up but connecting to htc hub caused fc
I did find a flashlight app somewhere but dont remember where and it does fully work. Also couldnt we port over those apps like notes hub and fm radio from a HTC Sensation XL system dump or rom?
Now she's at work with her new phone and I'm at work with my old Note 2 so I'm of no help. From my Sensations days I asked her to pinch to zoom to bring up home screen preview and rearrange them there but she said that is no good. The little screen to add another home screen page she says she can drag the home screens around but can't rearrange them. Is there any special trick to rearranging the home screens on the HTC One?
I have the same problem. I've been told that it can't be done with Sense 5.

I can help. Just open the app drawer, long press on the app you want to remove. Drag it up and it will load back in the drawer leaving a blank space. Then drag the app you want to replace down to the blank space on the dock.

If that doesn't work for you, drag the other app down to the app you want to replace and it'll make a folder on your dock. Then just remove the app you want gone. Either way, it's more steps than it should be but you'll get the result you want!

You might want to retry or do a master reset if none of what we've said is working. I'm including a screenshot of me dragging a random app (Facebook) to my dock to make a folder.

No. You dont drag it TO the drawer. You drag it FROM the drawer TO the taskbar. After, of course, dragging the icon you want to replace FROM the task bar TO the drawer.

It makes sense to me. What didnt make sense on my S2 was to first create a shortcut on a homescreen panel and then drag it to the bottom task bar. Thats two steps. With the One, its one step. From the drawer to the taskbar.
Thank You for these tips. I have been trying to figure this out. I will admit some of these things are strange coming from the Nexus 4 but I can deal with them for this awesome phone.
So when I drag it as per the screenshot. It does add the app to the drawer but then you can not remove either of the apps and this thing is pissing me how
Dont understand why something this simple can be made so difficult by HTC

I've got a few more screenshots that will hopefully help from here. Once you've created the folder, click on it to where it brings the two apps up. Then long press the app you wish to remove and drag it to the drawer.

I've noticed that too. I'm also I'm disappointed they didn't add more sources or add the ability for us to add our own. :/
More sources would of been a welcome refresh. Now i have to see my dock in the feed as well that cuts down the viewing area of the already small tiles.
Oh well, the other changes outweigh this small one.
I do like back button sending you to the top instead of having to hit the status bar. I wasnt that accurate and normally opened the top story on the first try

They also had it so you could hit Home while on the blink feed to jump back to the top since 4.1.2

Requires Root.
Applies the same for One X+. However there are some toggles that don't have an icon so they will have a white tile. ATM There is no way to fix that.
So this is my first HTC phone and for the most part I am loving it. However, there are two things that I hate. For starters, on a Phone such as the Galaxy s4 or the iPhone, I am able to view who sent me a text on the lockscreen or who sent me a text even when the phone is secured. Now on the HTC m8, I dont get to see any of that. All I see is the number of notifications above the phone app or the messaging app. Also, I hate the fact that if I go into the texting app to view a few messages but not all of them, it will then clear the icon in the notification panel as well as the indicator above the app icon itself. It really makes it super easy to forget if I had any extra text or not.
Check settings lock screen, the m7 had a lockscreen view that showed texts. Haven't got my m8 yet to see if it's still there.

Try using google handouts instead of the standard texting app
You can view text messages on the lock screen. You have to enable it in the settings.

Go to Settings, then Security and click notification settings under lockscreen. I am using Sense 6.0 on the M7 but it should be the same. I actually liked the way this was handled on Sense 5.5 better than 6.
