Kinda the main selling point of the device, no?

What I did was switch to Nova Launcher and remove all of the info sources in the BlinkFeed app. Other than that, there is no way to remove BlinkFeed from the stock Sense launcher.

Dont want to use another launcher

Am I the only one that likes blinkfeed? You could set another screen as the home screen and change the setting so that it will not automatically sync. Probably can't remove it...

I agree that it is limited right now. Maybe HTC will add or allow it to be customized more. I would love to see xda and pinterest feeds.

Is there a "UpCurl" lockscreen for Android

Hey, I was looking at my friends iPhone and trying to explain why Android is so much better when I locked his phone the lock screen was different to the standard.
To unlock the phone you had to curl up the page, like turning a page. It was the same for the notification bar.
I really liked the unlock and i was wondering if there is anything like this for Android devices.

No, because it doesn't exist. I clicked discard, but for some reason it posted. I was going to say you will need something like go locker from the play store and choose a theme that unlocks the way you want it too or possibly use one of the CM9 ROMs because they have different lock screens, but I'm not sure if one of them is what you are talking about.

Hololauncher HD allows you to lock the desktop so that won't happen. And its a great home app anyways... check it out. You'll like it most likely. Don't see how you couldn't.
Go launcher has the lock home screen option also.

background wallpaper on sense 4+

Is that true that on sense 4.1 the background on the home isn't moving anymore while sliding through the pages? I think that it would be very disappointing in the case..

My HTC one s with sense 4.0 and 4.1 has the background that moves while you pass front widget to another, this has been removed on sense 4+

I missed the scrolling wallpapers too.. With the Apex or Nova launcher (and problably some more) you can "restore" the scrolling wallpaper option, but then you can't use the Sense widgets anymore.. :/
On the jelly Bean waiting thread on the one s section someone suggest that this feature may be restored by changing a value inside Rosie but I'm not sure

I'm very pissed off now, I have red that HTC has also removed 3d sliding effect on the home, this suck completely.

p.s. on 4.0.4 with sense 4, it worked very well.

There's an app on the Play Store called Wallpaper Wizardrii that allows you use these on your entire screen.

But thank you very much for the awesome wallpapers, do you know if there is a way to use a full scale wallpaper? Since it doesn't even need to be square cause sense doesn't scroll with the wallpaper anyways... Like the lock screen wallpaper is what i mean but for the home screen

No need for any additional app for setting the background ...
Try setting it via Personalize->Wallpaper->Gallery .. it will give you full screen drag option

Possiblity of a Hybrid Rom sense 4+ with 5?

I was wandering if there is a way to make a hybrid rom or if a dev would be willing to try to make one. I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

The one Sense 4+ widget I don't miss is FriendStream. I know some don't like the fact that it isn't removable from the homescreen, but BlinkFeed beats FriendStream by a country mile.
I love blinkfeed.

Blinkfeed is great if your into the whole "social" thing but what if your not? Sense 4 for me right now is were I'm at. Maybe Sense 5.1 will bring back some of the widgets I want. Also blinkfeed would be better if it had like emails and messages like windows phone. Its really just a fancy RSS reader.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.
