HTC One m8 Blink Feed and launchers - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys just picked up my HTC one m8 and I love it so far. I've bought almost every single launcher in the past 2 years for all of my android devices. I love using blink feed but I can't seem to use it when I put a launcher on. Does anyone have a quick fix for this or is it a common problem.

There was a workaround to get it to work with Nova launcher at the Verizon M8 side if I remember correctly. It had something to do with Nova launcer action shortcuts etc.

Yes choose shortcuts then activities scroll down to HTC BlinkFeed (expand that) Chose the one that says HTC BlinkFeed launcher. That shortcut will take you to the blinkfeed launcher. Just make sure you have that on the blinkfeed page so every time you go to that shortcut blinkfeed will show up.

shortcut option
Another option if u don't want the BlinkFeed shortcut icon cluttering ur home screen is to bind the HTC BlinkFeed shortcut activity to one of the home screen gestures in nova settings. U can also customize it so if u press the home button while on ur default home screen it'll take u to ur BlinkFeed page. I personally like this option the most cause it allows u to switch back and forth between ur nova home screen andbur BlinkFeed page simply by taping the home button which will toggle u back and forth depending on what screen ur on. Just go into nova settings, under gestures, click the home button option and under shortcuts/activities/htc BlinkFeed select the "Launcher" activity then make sure u check the box that says "only on default home screen" and then bam, ur in business. Hope this helps.

Hi. I wonder if any of you can set the page of the app drawer vertically or horizontally? I've been searching and looking but had no clue at all.

Launcher Pro has never done this. I used to swear by Launcher Pro until I tried Go Launcher for a few days, and now I can't go back. I personally prefer a vertical app drawer, but Go Launcher does have the option of either vertical or horizontal.
Launcher Pro's HUGE lack of updates over the last 4-5 months is very off putting! I like Go Launcher, but it's still a little too buggy.
I cant find option to change home screen and app drawer to landscape mode in Go launcher.Can someone plzz guide?

Switched to go recently too. Its amazing. It used to be trash but after a month or two I decided to give it another go and its amazing now. I just hate those ugly tabs in the app drawer, I really don't care to have a task manager and app history in my app drawer.

nope except that you can replace the app drawer in sense using an app...

Thanks for quick answer but I dont need to change app drawer Need something for homescreen
Not sure but if you could figure out what the intent is to call rosie (sense app drawer) then you could possibly create a LauncherPro shortcut to open it? Any smali gods out there know if this would be possible?

That's pretty much exactly what I am doing. I use Apex Launcher as my launcher, but I have a shortcut created by xShortcuts that launches Rosie for the photo widget. Unfortunately, I don't think you can call a specific screen - you can only call the launcher itself.

Yup that's the way it is possible but man that's pretty much time you loose by opening sense just for having these sense widgets.
And you have 2 launchers running then since sense will be only killed when you reboot again.
Dunno for what you want that sense widgets but I would look at play store and see if there is a alternative widget which maybe has even a themeable skin?!

I've been looking for a replacement widget for the HTC album widget for a couple years now and have never found anything. If anyone around here knows of one, I'd love to use it!

I used Go Launcher for a while, and it has great Messaging and Email widgets... really everything Sense has, EXCEPT the photo widget.

Well my last tip for you is launcher pro.
There has been a launcher pro which was skinned like sense. But dunno if it had that widget...
There was a Rom for the hd2 that's why I know that one.

[Q] A few questions with the MOAR MK3 7.1.0 rom

Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,
Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.

Launchers

What Launcher are you guys using? I personally use Nova, paired with the G3 stock ui is a pretty sweet combination and improves performance.
Apex, pretty much the same
Nova all the way.
But I'm wondering how Nokia's zLauncher is. And/Or will the 18k plus laying off of jobs by Microsoft will affect zLauncher?
I use Nova too but original LG widgets are unable to load on Nova. Anyway workarounds?

I'm using LG Home for the LG widgets. I really like their calendar widget. I wish the left panel was a bit more useful, though. I'll probably eventually switch back to Nova.

Tried both LG launcher and Nova Prime. Nova is significantly snappier than the LG launcher so I went that route.

I usually always use Nova, but since day one I've used LG. Sure I'll end up using Nova but once you go there....your there! I'm trying to hold out and give stock a chance. Makes my phone still feel new instead of the same themes I've used on my S5, on my Note3 on my Nexus, Etc etc etc.......
I'm still optimistic about getting my LG Smart World themes to work.
I wonder if I can port Touchwiz Themes from my S5?????

The way I have it now is;
Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Then set double tap in Gestures (Nova Settings) to launch Screen Off. Works perfect, however I would love to find a solution without the use of a third party screen off app.
Thanks, that works great!

I'm using the G3 TweaksBox exposed module and there is an option for a double tap of the notification bar to turn the screen off. It doesn't work on the whole screen, but just the notification bar, so you have to have good aim. Lol. But it does work well.
Nova is working flawless for me

Double tapping the status bar works by default on stock to turn the screen off.

Just waiting until Nova releases Pixel-style search and app drawer options. Stock until then.

The current beta of Nova (5.0.0b6) can do this now. I swipe up from the dock to reveal the app drawer, which I've configured to be a box with the most recently used apps on top.
Lockscreen is boring. Nearly pure black besides notifications.

What lock screen are you using? Since Ambient Display doesn't ever turn back on after the notification comes in, I'm looking for an alternative. I miss moto display already.
