Coming from HTC and missing sense and blinkfeed - Nexus 6P General

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3049438
This thread will sort it,has it all running on other devices,got it set up on now and it works a breeze,good thing is OK Google, and Google now on tap works with it,so can have the best of both

Huh?

Yeah really...I don't miss Sense and was never fond of Blinkfeed. Win win for me.

There are some things sense does better in my eyes.Its little things like the + on folders to batch add apps .Still can't believe stock android can't sync Facebook pics with contacts. Blinkfeed is good for me ,just need to sort out current location bug

I used to be a big fan of Sense, but I prefer stock Android now. Google now is also a lot more useful than Blinkfeed. Once you start using it, it becomes very intuitive. It knows where I've parked, it knows which buses I take, it shows updates for my deliveries. Blinkfeed doesn't come close.

The Facebook thing was removed years ago by Google due to fb policies. Not really a bug deal as Facebook is not really used outside of kids nowadays

It's actually the opposite. Kids don't use facebook these days, they use Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. It's the adults, parents, and grandparents that use facebook now.

Maybe where you are at. No one I know uses FB anymore. Except for the kids. The adults moved to G+. You will even find very few people here still use it for anything other then keeping tabs on their kids.

So I'm out of touch with social media ?

Haha where do you live? I see zero people using Google+. Everyone here uses Facebook for sharing family photos and wishing their aunts a happy birthday.

ITs not a matter of where I live but a matter of who people keep in contact with. If I want to wish a family member a happy birthday I will do it in a respectable manner like a phone call or in person. Family photos are not something I ever put on FB. G+ is more for the mature crowd really. Alot of people dont use it due to not having tons of stupid games (that leave back doors open to your account) Which is also the reason many people that I do deal with only use G+, no stupid game invites, no real virus filled posts. No need to keep going.
It all comes down to what you use it for I guess. The only people I know that use it are my kids and their friends. Many even stopped using whatsapp due to FB buying them out. Now you see a majority of users are from new developing countries like China and India.

You could always install blinkfeed, there's a thread with a lot of HTC apps that can be installed on other phones.

Yeah, seriously lol. The only people on G+ are the people on XDA. The difference in numbers between G+ and Facebook would be staggering. Facebook only being used by kids. That darn well might be the stupidest thing I've ever read in my entire life.

Haha, I love how he says Facebook is only used by kids, implying a) there's no adults on Facebook, b) there's no demographical overlap between FB and G+ and c) he goes back and forth between "I am talking about the people I know, it isn't a universal truth" and "I don't know anyone who still uses FB so FB is only used by kids worldwide". Everything he's said is pretty hilariously ignorant and stupid.
Also, I don't know a SINGLE person who actively uses G+. Meanwhile, I don't know a single person who doesn't use FB, and I'm 21, so 95% of people on my FB are young adults (ranging from 17 - 29 in age). You have to be part of a very insular, very nerdy circle of friends to not have any of them use FB, and to have all of them use G+.
But uhh...yeah. I have CM12 on my M8 right now (waiting for the 6P to even come out here grumblegrumble) and never missed Blinkfeed. Google's stuff is more convenient and prettier.

[APP] SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 beta, running on my vibrant, screenshots

PLEASE DONT ASK ME TO POST .APK....IT WILL BE CONSIDERED WAREZ
so ive been waiting for a while to get my hands on this and i finally did. just wanted to share with everyone that it does work on our device. first installation is really buggy, but upon reboot, it seems to be much smoother. does slow down other home replacements while its running though.
the interface is nice, as to be expected. ive only been using it for about ten minutes. it lacks a lot of features that the popular launchers do. my biggest complaint is that there is no way to delete a screen as is, the screen will only dlete once youve manually removed all shortcuts/widgets from it. this proves really annoying because when you first load the app it loads alllllll your apps onto screens. so mine loaded 13+ screens full of icons the first time. BUT THERES NO LAUNCHER DRAWER!!! so i have to figure how to have quick access to all my apps without having 20 damn screens
ill update this OP as i experiment more, and more screenshots when i find cool things. possibly a video (shootme videos come out really laggy)

this is a beta. it causes some serious lag (for me at least) while running in the background. im gonna have to search the net for tips and tricks. i must be missing something because it just seems way to basic for a premiere home replacement
yeah, I signed up for the beta when it was 1st announced. Not really digging the look of it. Seems REALLY hmmm whats the word.... bunched up and bloated maybe? Would look good on a tablet, but not sure about a phone

agreed....after only 10 minutes of light use, i could already tell that theres no puppy can hang with ADWex or LPP

well, for you SPB nuts, at least you know its out there and runs on the vibrant
maybe it is because you have 125123 apps
Why when i use flickr widget, the launcher crashes? and i have any gallery widget with my photos,..

what is because of that? lag?
sorry big guy, but no other homereplacement ive used has ever lagged. period. my phone is always butter.
if you are referring to the number of screens that it creates. well obviously its because of how many apps i have. but it shouldnt be that way. it should be like any other launcher, with an app drawer. this isnt the iphone.

Agreed. The lack of some sort of app drawer is not appealing.

i sure hope its not released until it is optimized more, and they add some features.
i was reallllly looking forward to trying it out, and once i got my chance, it was a 15 minute affair until i uninstalled it completely.
obviously you wont be satisfied until you try it out for yourself
I have the beta as well, had to sign a contract not to share the .apk, screens, or even details of the app. These guy's are serious about this shell, I'm in another beta of theirs that I didn't even sign up for, and there wasn't nearly as much effort to keep that one as confidential. Just don't want your buddy gettin in trouble. I have yet to submit a review with suggestions, but I plan on doing that soon. This launcher has a lot of potential, but like you said it's very lacking in a lot of areas. It's especially a pain if you have a lot of apps. Just keep in mind, it is an early beta. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be happy to include them in my review.
spb 5.0

Hi everybody

So I have been poking around here while I waited for my membership to be approved. Just wanted to pop in and say hello. My Hubby just got me this phone for my b-day and I love it so far. This is my first smartphone, but I have watched him to amazing things with his incredible(he wont give it up until this phone gets unlocked). I was just wondering, when it is unlocked, will anybody be making a pink theme? I would love to get him to put that on my phone if anyone makes it. Thanks.
On a side note, they had this really weird video I had to watch before I signed up here? I thought it was really in bad taste. Anyone else agree? I mean, I'm sure things get a bit busy and hectic around here(as is proved by my husband spending countless hours on here), but no need to be rude to us that are new and wanting to learn more about this stuff. I dunno, take my opinion for just that, an opinion. Although glad I saw it when he wasn't around, he would have went bonkers and insisted I stay off here.
Anyways, hope someone will make a pink theme. Fingers crossed.
indeed. pink will go well with the car.

Hi Flower.
Happy birthday! If you want a pink theme, (or a million others) D/L something like ADW-EX Launcher along with Beautiful Widgets. (pink neon clock is cool) Then you'll pretty much have complete control of your entire user interface. After installing, you can go back & D/L all kinds of lady fonts, wallpapers, etc. You don't need root or unlocking for these either. Advice: if you're new to these, make only 1 change at a time. ADW is powerful & there is a learning curve. But before you know it, you'll have your phone looking like you dropped it in Pepto Bismol!
I'm not familiar with the weird video or waiting for membership approval. There're good & bad on all forums. Just ignore the bad. Welcome to the dark side.
Happy belated and you should get up with one of the female Devs and ask them or a nice male one. But im sure no one will have a problem with it eventually.
=]
Wow. I went ahead and checked out that video. I don't like it much either. Gives a bad feeling about the community in general. I wouldn't think about it too much though. Since this is a fairly new phone, there are bound to be questions and problems that haven't been covered yet.
If it comes down to it, I'll work on a pink, theme for ya when we get root. Gonna be working on a red theme on mine too. And I'm sure my wife will get this when here upgrade is due, so two birds and all that. I'm not a real heavy themer like a few of the devs on here, but I'm sure I could get something going to hold you over till someone big steps in. Did it for my incredible before I upgraded and for my wife's incredible.
Welcome and happy bday.

Aww, thanks guys. Well if the video doesn't bother too many people then I guess it's just me. Wow so many responses. Umm...
voxigenboy-I really like the car.
hellcatrydr- I'll have to have my hubby show me the stuff you are talking about with themes. If you can do so much without this root stuff, what can you do with it?
blestsol-Which devs are females? And how should I contact them?
cvbcbcmv-Uh, not sure how to read your post. Happy about the video or being sarcastic? Cuz you said pretty much what the video said. Not sure.
Comicazy-That would be great. What kind of stuff did you do with your incredibles? Did you post it for others to use? And I share your view on the video.
Thanks again guys.

I did post it. Not sure if anyone used it though. I called it dragonbread. Mostly I just chang the 3g icon to say 4g and made it red along with making anything I could in red on the status bar. And I changed the lock screen sliders to dragon sliders. Changed a few other icons too. Don't remember everything. Nothing as extensive as some of the themes I have seen others create. Word around the forum is we're getting closr to breaking this thing. So hope full soon we can get cracking on this for ya.

Yea, I have seen more childish words and behavior on this forum in the last couple days, than I get from my four and five year olds at home fighting over a toy. All over a phone? I don't think I'll ever understand the big fuss that causes these arguments. Why can't everyone just get along and find something useful to talk about?
Oh and thanks for the link to those themers and stuff. I will try to talk to them and see what they can do.

Don't forget that apple's products states "designed in California" when actually their engineering HQ is in Nevada. That slimeball move was to avoid California state taxes. They also outsource all their work to foreign countries and pay them in slave wages just like Nike, robbing real Americans job opportunities.

its only standard freEVO
Here is the petition link. http://tinyurl.com/7m9y5fr
Signed the petition and shared it with my Facebook friends. I can only hope someone out there gives a damn!
Great work on getting the consumer's word out there! I'm not trying to be a troll (I too have pre-ordered the EVO LTE), but would it be possible to use correct grammar? I feel we need to be treated as grown ups, and with all the uncapitalized I's, misspellings; Apple or ITC will just to disregard us.
Other than that, petition signed. Keep up the fight, Androidians.

One thing that helped last time maintaining composure these people will piss you off some so much because they really will not give a crap stay focused on one thing writing what you say don't send repetitive things spam etc on fb although the spamming did take over htcs page lol
But we need to get everyday users to join in that means educating them to what we know .
Eg on htc fb yesterday people still asking when the evolte will drop they had no idea so getting a large following helps ..
Edit : it took 11 days start to finish to get htc to change its policy and 5 months to implementation of unlocking luckily its not that difficult in this case .

Chameleon Launcher is in beta....what's your initial impressions?

I just got my beta invite to download and have been playing around with it for a while to set it up. I am not all that impressed right now, but hopeful they can bring it. Has anyone else got the beta yet? What do you think so far?
The pros:
Very pleasing to the eye
Smooth
Widgets at the forefront
Dock shortcuts change a you change screens
The cons:
App drawer is not alphabetical (actually only Play Store is first then alphabetical)
No Android widgets!
Only their wallpapers
Can't rearrange home screens
Gmail widget only shows unread emails
Weather widget is not interactive
Can't use inverse logic in context for locations, time, or wifi
No folders
That is my first impressions based on the current release. With the ICS update, I have actually really liked Touchwiz launcher (believe it or not). I'm not sure chameleon would be my launcher when competing with Touchwiz and Nova.

You have to get the email letting you know you can register if you already pre-ordered.

I just got mine. I'll try it on my tab when I get home in about an hour. Looking forward to it. Also, in case anyone's wondering, you can't use it on your website and its phone yet

Was about to pull the trigger on this one, but been reading and some people seem discontent so I might as well wait...but then again it's 10$ as a pre-order. How much do they think they can charge and get away with?? I'm no cheapskate but 10 seems a bit much for a launcher...makes me wonder how much it'll be when released?
Incompatible
I have a Glaxy tab 10.1, and have get the download link to get Chameleon Launcher, but I get the error messenge "This app is incopatible with your Samsung GT-P7500"
What can I do so i can get it?

Honestly, at this point I would wait. With no wallpapers or widgets except for theirs, I would wait to see how it turns out. I'm not even using it right now.

You need ICS or Jellybean. It's not compatible with Honeycomb.

Hm, ok. How can I fix it, can you help me?
Anyone have an idea how long it takes to get access?
Yesterday evening I paid the 10$ to get access and got this email:
Please note: Beta Verification emails will be sent out over the next few days so you can unlock the beta version of Chameleon from the play store. This verification process will pair your pre-order email to your play store email. Thanks for your support and understanding

I purchased mine Wed. night, got that email right after.....today I got my email to register......pretty plain right now but can see it to be quite assume down the road.....
its okay. i didnt like it much. The widgets are very limited. It should be native for every app. Seems slow but then again its a beta. hopefully, will see more improvements in full version.

You need to update your software. I'm guessing you're still on 3.1 because I was mistaken. It is compatible with Android 3.2 and up.

None of the current apps will work because they made a bold decision to develop on a HTML5 environment. It was though that they could get more developers to work on new Widgets if they did this. Only time will tell. They may have rushed the beta though, it really needs a few more apps for users to really test it out and find software bugs in the interface. As opposed to hardware incompatabilities.
They may have gone with the beta now because the interest was peaking and if they left it much longer the interest would start to fade.
I like the concept and it has a lot of potential, they may be pricing themselves out of the market. Their are other good launchers for significantly less. I am one of the beta users though.

if that comes true. that sux . The widgets they offered in the beta. I was only interested in only 1.
Too bad it doesn't have facebook in the beta
I love the concept though.
What I do have it that my tablet goes back to my stock launcher and I always have to restart Chameleon. How do I fix this?
Until they add more Widgets, I'm not going to be using it.

scheduled messaging

Am I the only person that doesn't have the scheduled text messaging feature on my device? Has vzw took out such a useful feature m

It isn't in CleanROM either. I know you can still send a scheduled e-mail, but the option to scheduled SMS I believe should be in messages screen -> menu -> scheduled messaging.
Maybe this feature was taken out. There are plenty of market app substitutes, though...
Like a calendar appointment?
Yeah I've tried everything to get it from the stock text application and nothing. Plus I know I can use a third party app but I really don't want to go that route if possible. Vzw always finds a way to screw up something for me.ugh.
What are you trying to accomplish. A message to pop up on your screen at a certain time/date?

No, we're supposed to be able to schedule a text message straight from the messaging app, this is so frustrating to realize that such a great feature apparently was removed by vzw. This must be why they were last to get the note 2...removal of things we could actually use and branding it into oblivion

Let's say I needed to send a text out to someone at a certain time but I'd be asleep at that time, I could schedule it to send the text to that person at that time...

I've never understand wasting the time to get upset over something this simple.
There has to be 50 different apps that can do this. In the time it took you to type this, you could have installed one of them and scheduled the text to go out...........
As far as I know, this was never an advertised feature of the VZW Note 2, and honestly, this is the first I'm hearing of it.
Check out the review on gsmarena for the n2. It was a business feature for the n2. Works much like scheduled emailing
Here got it for you

And to the above poster, not imnuts, some people just want to use native features instead of loading up on apps. It isn't for us to question why he wants it. In the same time it took you to post that you could have been helpful and found him a useful scheduling sms ap
I have tons of apps, but hate third party messengers. Even if didn't, I wouldn't want to install something I don't really want for one feature. That being said, if it's somewhere in the phone, I'm sure it could be brought out, like blocking mode, etc. Time will tell

I don't see Verizon anywhere on that. Also, if you're reading reviews, 90% of the time, they're for the international version, which is going to vary as far as software and sometimes hardware. If you really want to know where it is, ask VZW, as they made the final call on it being included or not.

To imnuts' point, that clearly says Galaxy Note II N7100 which would be the international one. That does not say the Verizon i605 was going to get that feature.
Meh, most of the roms are built off the international versions, right? I don't see this included in any of their roms. Op was just asking if it was there. They didn't advertise scheduled emailing, but it is there. Odd they'd have that feature, but take out sms. Probably cause one uses data and the other one goes towards their unlimited texts. Anyways I was just showing where people would get that impression. I never stated specifically that it was for vzw, but an advertised feature of the note 2. And yeah we all know how vzw does things their way. But can anyone confirm this feature is indeed on stock sms? Then it might be as simple as pushing the sms apk over.
I appreciate everyone's responses and yeah I just hate to have an app that isn't needed if the feature was just left in...I might just root this thing and try to add another messaging app from another version if possible. Like this isn't a MUST have thing for me but I can't figure out why it's not here. Whoever pointed out that vzw left it as a part of the email because that consumes data vs unlimited texts makes perfect sense.
just you go sms, has everything you will ever need including scheduling messages.
If it really is on the international version then I dont think it would be that hard to get it on the VZW version, but thats a big if. I havent seen this on any of my phones in quite a while, then again I havent specifically looked for it either.
I would think if it was on the international version it would be on the CleanRom or Beans versions that are based on international roms.

thought beans roms was verizon based, but cleanROM 4.6 is international. Guess we could ask in that thread.
I was actually looking for this a couple of days ago when someone asked me to text them a reminder for some hockey tickets they were giving me. Had to set an alarm to remind to send the text. This would have been easier...
Oh hai
