HTC Released their newest blinkfeed version, the one that can be found in sense 6, to the playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.launcher
But it's quite sad that the HOX+ is incompatible? Any idea how to overcome that issue and download it and use it?
Yep, this is kinda weird. Notice that HTC's app is on the play store for some time now, but only has 3 ratings? It looks like it is disabled for everyone.
You can try to get the apk from play store. Here is one tutorial how to do it.

Nah, won't work. It is the true blinkfeed but the issue is that aits designed for the 4.4 API, hence us running 4.2.2 won't allow us to use it. That's why i was able to see it on 4.4 but i cant see it now.
Is there a way to modify the APP that we can use it in 4.2 too

a german site said that right now nobody can download the app not even the htc one (2013),and they don't know when it will be ready for us

I think HTC will be smart enouigh to downgrade it themselves. You see, from my point of view, I don't really want 4.4 that much as much as i want sense 6. I can get 4.4 from AOSP easily thanks to our devs, but I want Blinkfeed launcher most importantly.
HTC released that app about 1 week ago, which is still not available to all phones yet. I think they want to make every one feel how awesome their software is, so I think they will make blinkfeed available to all androids 4.0+.
BBM did something similar, they started with 4.2.2 and above, then one by one decreased. Now its available to 2.6 androids.
I think i will just wait.
I asked them in twitter this was there response

I guess Ghand0ur is kind of right. If HTC were to update the apps in our One X+, such as the launcher, the Gallery etc., 4.2.2 wouldn't suck that much.
They even have HTC zoey and HTC TV and other apps in the playstore but you can not find them with your phone.you must search it With the pc

I succeeded to get the latest launcher working on my HOX+ with CarbonRom on (4.4). It said on the market that my phone isn't supported so I had to download the apk alone from a third party app. I succeeded to have the basic functions of the launcher. App Drawer, widgets, home screens, home wallpaper, however
1- Blinkfeed was broken, it said "No content, swipe down to refresh" and swiping from the left side of the screen gave me a sidebar with "Highlights" in it and clicking the 3 dotted button wouldn't bring anything up.
2-Also when I clicked on the "Search" button in the app drawer the launcher would just stop working.
How did you get it to work whenever i will to Start the launcher there is a message that my phone is not supported

You have to have 4.4 , so download a kitkat rom(like carbon rom or cyanogenmod) . Then search for the apk online. I think we aren't allowed to mention third party apps that get you full apps for free. So you have to search for one.
I am on carbonrom 4.4 but it still did not work
Sent from my One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It won't work, as I said I downloaded the apk from somewhere else and only the basic functions worked. BlinkFeed did not.
Anyway once BlinkFeed will be available for us I will move straight away to 4.4 . Can't wait !!

Why not just change your device model in the build.prop to one of the ones that does support it. That should theoretically trick google into letting you download it.

Hello,
My son loves playing on my phone as well as my wife's. Issue is he's two and a half years old....
Needless to say you'll find new apps installed via ads in games, random messages sent to people, things moved and or deleted. We've since put locks on our phones but that's not really a solution as then you need to unlock it for him and he still has full access to everything (last time my wife found out she had 20 new friend requests on Facebook lol)
My question is.. is there eight a good home launcher that you can make a second user with limited app access (only ones you selected to allow) or a ROM with a similar feature built in that works with galaxy s devices (mines a gt-i9000t and hers is a vzw fascinate)
Or, any other app suggestions that default to a kid mode unless you unlock/exit the app to get full access to the device?
Mine is currently running aokp, hers is on the stock vzw firmware but I have no problem doing a rom and/or rooting if required.
Thanks!

Set up a second launcher just for him and put the apps he can use on the desktop and delete the shortcut for the app drawer
You can also set up a pin to download from the play store now i think.

I just looked thru the apps and I saw it there but I cannot find it in the phone. Maybe you have to be in the navigation app to see it. Just a thought.

So apparently you can only get into car mode when you connect you one to their car dock. That's the only way to do it. It's in the user guide.

What I thought was funny was that I loaded Nova Launcher on my phone. Then all of a sudden I had 4 apps that weren't there in the Sense launcher. Now I have "Car", "Flash Player Settings", "PDF Viewer", and "Polaris Office". So, you don't have to be rooted. The apps all work. But for some reason, Sense for AT&T is hiding the apps. Use another launcher. It'll be there.

Yes, you can even just download one of those widgets that just launches apps (I use Circle Launcher or More Icons Widget) and it shows up in their list.
It's there. Install quick shortcutmaker and create a shortcut to it
Can someone just upload the apk from the international version?
It's on the phone already. You would just need to "unhide" it by using another launcher or one of the apps previously mentioned.

Or we could just do it the right way and install the apk (if someone ups it) and it will add it to the Sense Launcher.... instead of Installing another app and or launcher.
Get it?

it does fail to install... but... did exactly what i wanted it to do. The icon is now in the tray.
:highfive:
[update]
This breaks after reboot. Then tried uninstalling updates from app manager... and it completely uninstalled it... without root access.
Doesnt make sense. Possibly do this for all bloat to get rid of it without root...

I loaded ARHD several times and could not get the camera to work, it just hangs when launched. Were you able to get around that? I figured this was AT&T specific.
Download the newest 6.0
There was an issue before with the build that caused camera and WiFi issues.
Should be fixed now tho.

Thanks, got it working. Would have been nice if they updated the version number.

Stock not rooted
Latest firmware

Ok so everyone knows that you should be able to install .apk if you set to allow. I'm able to with other .apk and don't have issues normally.
My question is, do I need root to get the 4.4 keyword, launcher etc to work?
Ideas on steps I can take while still stock. I have no problem rooting. Just haven't got around to it.

So launcher won't work as Google search keeps crashing when I attempt to enable the new 4.4 launcher.
So I'm going to just root it and go that route to enable it that way. Keyboard isn't working either while stock and not or rooted either.

Has anyone else experienced a jerky google maps? I ask because my location dot on maps seems to only move every hundred feet while driving, opposed to being a fluid, continuous movement. I thought it was my note 2, but then I checked a friend's S4 and it did the same thing. May have been the latest maps update....not sure.

I ended up reverting back to an older version of Google Maps as well because I was experiencing similar bugs. I also missed having separate app icons for local, navigation, maps, etc... I went with Maps version 6.14.2, which I believe may have been the last version of that still had all the separate icons. It has been working well for me on my Note 2.
I also reverted my Gmail to an earlier version... I went with Gmail version 4.3.1, because I believe it was the last version available before Google updated Gmail to pre-sort all our email into the 5 different boxes... I just didn't like that.
When I was searching online for the previous versions, I came across a site named Android Drawer http://www.androiddrawer.com/
I thought you all might be interested in it because it has a huge repository of older apps of all kinds. Just search for the app you want and pick your favorite version.

Do you know a way to stop the older apps from showing up in the play store as needing to be updated? I have the hacked youtube that doesn't show up as needing an update, but my maps always does now. Not a big deal but it's nice to "update all" and not have maps update.

I'm not sure of a simple way to detach apps from the Play Store/Market. I thought Titanium Backup would easily let you do it, but it looks like it doesn't work anymore. I tested it out just a bit ago and it temporarily detached the app... but it linked back to the Market after a reboot.
User cthulu posted information in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50564811&highlight=detached#post50564811 , which talks about a fix. Credit should go to him if it helps you.

I did the same as you and joined the Google group. But the main thing missing from the app is the recent post option. Only way to access it is to add it to your favorites so its easy to access. Until they fix the recent post option in using the old one. I do like how quick the new UI is.

I'm the total opposite, besides the most recent news issue on the new one I think this new ui is way more clunky feeling and looking where the old one is basic one bar one side bar and that's it
Anyone know if there is a way to get rid of notifications of an update for the new version, i usually hit update all on my apps and since im avoiding this new facebook i cant do that anymore, just curious if there was a way to get rid of it from the list of updates
For most recent:
Scroll to right most tab, scroll down towards bottom until you see most recent. Click star. Add as favorite. Scroll back up. Reorder list. Click finish.
It isn't in the main tab, but you can scroll to the right and click most recent to get a most recent page listing.
