Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to use blinkfeed with Nova launcher
Go back to sense. Delete all homescreens leaving only blink feed. Go back to nova create a short cut to sense launcher. Voilà

How do I make a shortcut to Sense Launcher through Nova?
Hold down on home screen choose shortcut then activity then HTC sense.

RIght on mane
weird issue
This is brilliant. though for some reason when I use the action to HTC Sense, it brings me to the app drawer...not blink feed.
Thoughts?
Thanks very much.
and yes, I checked the activity is "HTC Sense"
Modaco Has this feature under HTC ONE.

This seems like a common way to do it (I googled it), but I don't seem to have the "HTC Sense" option when scrolling through the list of activities. Anybody have any ideas why? Here's a screen shot:

You need to tap on "HTC BlinkFeed" from the list and then search for HTC BlinkFeed below which "Launcher" will be written, select that and you're good.

been a while, but i think you go to the home screen, hit menu, edit
it should zoom out and show previews of the windows with an "X" icon on the upper corner. form there you should be able to delete and add screens.
You're a god..... thx
home screen issues!
i just got my FIRST TOUCHSCREEN/ANDROID phone! Motorola atrix 4g... and i hate the quick launch buttons that you cant send to trash! but though i really just wanted to keep stock,, i eally like the others! (adw, launcher pro, and go launcher ex!)

Maybe I'm just slow but I've noticed a few apps built into this phone that are hidden from the Sense launcher but not when I use the AOSP gingerbread launcher. I've seen Fb Chat, Quick lookup, car mode, mirror, and I'm sure there are others. Does anyone know why these can't be accessed from the Sense launcher? It seems really weird to me haha.
You can access some apps like mirror and car panel if you hit the bottom right search button from any screen and type "mirror", for example. You can then tap on the app there. I believe facebook chat is only available as a widget...
Is there a list of these hidden apps or apps not seen by sense?
I don't know... Good question. It would be great if someone can post them here. I wonder what other goodies they are hiding.

Just do a search in your phone for 'Chat' and you find Fb Chat.
Fb Chat comes up. Open it.
Winning.
The only other one that I saw not mentioned was "SIM Toolkit." When I tried to run it, a message popped up, stating that "SIM Toolkit is not ready."
I have noticed that in both ADWLauncher EX and Launcher Pro Plus, you can put a kinda cool camcorder icon on your home screen but it doesn't show in Sense.

Dude good call haha it worked for mirror too... Never even thought to try that. Now how the he'll do we make a shortcut lol

I'm still looking for the answer to this. I just hit search, type fb, and open it.
Then to go back into it, just pull down the notification bar, and tap it again when I need.
I don't even know how to make sure it stays in memory!
The Fb Chat widget put my phone into an infinite bootloop and I had to reset my phone. So I'm not using that thing again.
ya it would be nice to be able to use quick lookup and flashlight in my quicklaunch think on lockscreen
You can use the app Any Cut to make a shortcut. I've also read you can do it with a file explorer. I did it with Any Cut.

Don't know how I've never heard of Any Cut with the thousands of apps I've installed and/or deleted over the years. Great suggestion
instead of getting into the market then menu then my apps ?

tap and hold on the home screen and pick the shortcut of the application if you are having samsung based rom, if on MIUI all the shortcuts are already on the home screen
Edit : you are talking about downloaded apps? not found yet in samasung, in HTC sence it is there sorted seperately....system & dowloaded
of course the downloaded apps
maybe some tweaker here finds a way

New Xposed Mod: BlinkFeed Back to Top
This small mod enables the back button to scroll to top in BlinkFeed just like the home button would if BlinkFeed was your home screen.
=> This lets you choose a primary home screen other than BlinkFeed with still being able to scroll to top with a single tap (at the bottom of the screen, tapping the statusbar always works).
Note: HTC enabled this from stock with Android 4.2.2
As with any other mod, you must accept using it at your own risk.
If you want to try it, follow these steps:
If not done yet or included in your custom ROM, install the Xposed framework as described in this thread (requires root)
Install the attached APK and activate the module in the Xposed installer (this is also described in the framework thread)
Reboot
ChangeLog
Code:
[B]1.0[/B]
- Initial release
Hope you enjoy and let me know. Great thanks go to rovo89 for this fabulous framework.
My Other Xposed Mods
All HTC and Samsung ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Smart Alarm Icon
Only shows the alarm icon in status bar a configurable time before next alarm
All HTC Sense 5 ROMs
BlinkFeed Back To Top
Enables the back button in BlinkFeed to fast scroll to top
All HTC ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Custom Status Bar Opacity
Easily configure the opacity of the status bar when it is transparent in lock screen and launcher
seek dude , nice work , i want that

Did you install Xposed for the first time for this mod? The TV app is working fine here, so it would be nice to get some logcat output to be able to clarify
Indeed, you can single tap on the notification bar to back to the lastest.
For any apps HTC made are supported with this function (eg sms)

Just an FYI, you can tap on the notification bar in stock sense 5 to bring you back to the top of Blinkfeed.

You are my hero! Scrolling to the top was what had me on the fence between loving and hating blink feed.

Indeed, that works out-of-the-box. I changed the OP to let people know this eventually in advance of rooting. Personally, I still would like to see HTC enabling the functionless back-button for this like they did with home. Unless this happens, I will keep on maintaining this mod so people can choose.
OP, would you consider developing a module that allows the back button to exit the app drawer?

This is an excellent idea. Back button in BlinkFeed works anyway from 4.2.2 on, so let's give this code new sense. But won't promise any EST, in upcoming week maybe
Hmm, why not just hit the home button? That takes it back to the top for me.

if you change from blinkfeed as Home to another page, the home button oesn't do it. but I guess most people don't realize yo ucan just tap the status bar, regardless of what page is your home page >_>

Since 4.2.2 the home button always brings you to the top. Same goes for the back button. And it also quits app drawer.
HTC is listening. lol.
scrolling to top
Some inbuilt apps are supporting that scrolling to top by tapping status bar. Is there any way to implement in all apps (third party apps)??
Thanx...

Good day,
I like to have an empty home screen in 1+X. Could anyone help me with this.
Thanks

You're right, if there is nothing on it, it erase itself...
You'll probably have to go to something like Nova Launcher or same type...

Use this app to create a blank widget and the homescreen won't collapse

Is there any way to change the order of home screens?

I'm using ADW launcher and my screen looks like this - i.imgur.com/foZ13hs.png (sorry cant post links)
If you remove quick launch buttons and put black wallpaper you get it.
There are surely many other ways of achieving this.

Yup. Just long press on a screen and then move it around.

Thanks it worked.
Apex Launcher is also very good for doing this. It has a lot of customization and you can get very specific with how you want things to look. I generally prefer it vs nova. It seems more clean, organized in the settings layout and to the point. You won't need a widget in order to keep your home screen clean and you can make it look just like OOS launcher if you were to prefer it's look and layout.
