Old sense widgets - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Older versions of sense that I had on my past handsets had a couple of great widgets that are missing now. Namely the notes and galley widgets. Is it possible to get them from older roms and install now?

I missed the photo frame widget and found this one on the play store. It takes a few changes in settings, but you can set it as an individual photo widget which was what i was after.

[Q] Blink feed Htc Alternative App

Hey devs and android users! I'm new at this so I apologize if I've posted a New thread for nothing or it's in the wrong category
I have a htc one v and a galaxy tab 2 7" (GT-P113) and would like to know if there is any android app that can mimic the way sense 5 homescreen and lockscreen works on the new htc one, and just to be more specific I mean like the way you can see newsfeeds without widgets.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing?
Not at the moment
try Flipboard

The closest you'll get is flipboard or currents on JB, using daydreams, while you're charging. The rest of the android world hasn't caught up. Technically, YOU'RE probably the leading knowledge right now on this subject.
Do you mean to say I have the leading knowledge on the subject?
u can try taptu or pulse news from play store
But do they have widgets?

Actually I'm looking for a live wallpaper that you can interact with as a social network feed for example, facebook, twitter, etc. But on a blank homescreen page. Does anyone know of such a thing?

You can try the feedly widget. I use it on my device to quickly run through headlines from my home screen. It can be resized and still looks good. If you're looking for social feeds, look online to see how to generate a RSS of your fb/twitter feed and add them to feedly.
I have used pulse and flipboard, both do pretty good job.

So... I started making such an app, after i heard my phone won't get the update to Sense 5. (HTC ONE S)
The app itself is going to be a launcher, similair to Sense 5 with Blinkfeed. But i'm not going to add news feeds and rss, Only social networks will be included.
More details coming up

so.ho launcher already does this
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
So.ho launcher hasn't been updated since December of 2013 so it is outdated. Also the benefit of having a launcher do what he is wanting as opposed to a widget is that it will look better. Exactly like what blinkfeed does. It is possible as HTC made sense 6 a launcher, so it is possible. And people don't ONLY want RSS feeds. I personally loved chameleon launcher but that was abandoned/sold.

Hello, did you start to make the launcher?
It will be great...

I accidently froze/disabled HTC blinkfeed and now my phone will not load a Launcher. Can I flash the htc blinkfeed apk in recovery to fix this? I have a HTC Desire 816 running kitkat 4.4.2 and sense 6.0 (Stock)
Thanks

So you extracted them from some leak or from an installed system? Who to credit if we wish to use those in ROM's? You? Someone you got the zip of?

I really miss the old Sense 4 calendar widget. Is this one also included in the Sense 5 Butterfly rom?

Yep got it working. I just needed to put the stocks in first then remove and replace the widget and it's all good now.

Navigate Widget
There is another widget from the Butterfly Leaked ROM to be added to the list.
It is the HTC Navigate widget, which is used in conjunction with the Laputa navigation pack (if your ROM has it included).
Screenshot and apk attached below.
Many many thanks guy!! It'what i was searching for!!

The Tasks widget doesn't work on stock HTC One, I get FC while adding it to the screen. Maybe we need the 4.2.2 OTA first?
Problems also with Energy ROM

I do not think it is related to stock ROM. My ONE is running Mike's Energy-ROM, and I am also facing problems with the Mail-Widget: although I have all my eMail-accounts properly set up, the widget does not list any of them when placing it on the homescreen. Instead, it insists on creating a new amail ccount. Unfortunately, this is not possible, because whenever I try to do this, the system tells me that this account already exists . Real pitty, because I was always in love with the Sense 4 mail & SMS widgets :crying:
I tried notes and mail,
When I put widgets it doesnt see my mail accounts or notes.
It asks for a new mail account.

Does the phone needs root status to run these widgets.Mine is stock,these widgets not working.How do i uninstall them?

Where are these Sense widgets ?

How do I get these widgets ? I saw these cool looking black widgets from a review screen shot. I could only find the "Hot Spot" widget in my settings, no others though.

Press longer homescreen where you want to put the widget, choose "widgets", scroll down until you find your widget of choice, for example the bluetooth-widget and tap it, that is all
They are stock HTC widgets, if you don't have them, you might have removed them (if you're rooted) or they just were not included in the ATT model.
You won't see them if you are using a 3rd party launcher.

I am running InsertCoin ROM, and no custom launcher, and still not seeing these options for these widgets, except just the HotSpot 1 x 1 Widget, no others though
Then you removed then during install as the majority are checked to be removed by default, you must reflash Rom, and uncheck the ones you want to keep,no need to wipe.

Blinkfeed

I miss my blinkfeed. Im new to LG. Anyway to use blinkfeed on this phone. I've always used HTC in that past.

BlinkFeed is an HTC exclusive with Sense. I came from the M8 myself and I miss BlinkFeed. I found a decent alternative with FlipBoard. Give that a shot, I am enjoying it.

Which apk? Im running it fine on the G4 and a nexus 6. Did you install the 1st 4 APK's on the list?
I added a few pics of the homescreen, app drawer and blinkfeed just to show.
Working fine here.....best of both worlds now
So I installed everything from page one post #1 on the XDA link up there. Everything is working fine. Good thing about it is at any time I can go to settings>home screen, and switch back to either sense home or lg's home launcher with everything the same as I left it. Best thing ever!!!

Swipe up on the home button and it brings up Google now!!! Here are the screen shots

Do you need to run blinkfeed to run this? Would I be able to disable blinkfeed, and just run the sense launcher and app drawer?

I got everything to install but Blinkfeed. All it says is "Application Not Installed" So frustrating! you must have installed before the ZV5 update or something.

You'll have to wait for HTC to deliver Sense 7 to HTC One M7 (which is unlikely going to happen) or use one of the ROMs ported from M9, to be able to do that.
