Delete BlinkFeed

Hi,
Im using the HTC m8 for a week now, and to be honest i dont like BlinkFeed.
Is there a way to delete it?
Im still stock, no root or s-off.
Thanks

Yeah, you can remove it just like any other home screen. In arrange screens.

So can i delete completely from my m8

No, because as far as I know, it's part of the launcher (although it can be updated through the play store). Ensure its not subscribed to anything and that it it's set to sync as little as possible.

turned off all of your auto update.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply's

That does not delete it. If you want to really delete it too probably need root and system access. And have knowledge about adapting apk files. Maybe it's possible to remove some code from the prism.apk to actually true disable it. But that's kinda difficult i guess.

Can't switch to ART

Telus HTC one m8, unlocked bootloader, stock ROM, elementalX kernel (tried stock recovery and philzs recovery)
Can't seem to enable ART runtime... I don't know If stock kernel or recovery matters but when I try enabling it the phone reboots like normal and in settings it still says dalvik.
Any ideas?

If you have Xposed installed art will not work.

Oh really? I did not know that... That's too bad...
Thanks for the quick reply!

All I got was loads off app crashes /error reports

I'm using ART now. It works fine for me and improves battery life as well as performance. Programs that don't work, I just uninstall and find an alternative that works. None of my essential or favourite programs are affected by it and work fine with ART. A few games don't work but they aren't important enough for me to keep. If any essential program didn't work I would revert back but so far all my essential programs are working fine, surprisingly.

Maybe you try a deodexed rom.You can enable it form developer settings.Remember installing xposed will return you to dalvik.wait for @rovo89 to make an art version of xposed.

OK Google doesn't work - how?

How did you folks manage the OK Google from any screen?
I'm on O2 UK, totally stock but running Themer. I enable Google Now and the 'any screen' button is grayed out. I enable US English but still, it won't work and won't register OK Google even 1/3 times, where it needs to be trained. Even with the Google Now launcher, it's the same.
Thanks!

If you are rooted you can enable it to work on Sense6 using exposed framework an the "Ok Google for 3rd party launchers / apps (4.4+)" module.
If this is installed you can enable the function in Google searches settings by going to Google settings > Voice.
If this method doesn't work you could try to use UnleashtheGoogle.apk (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/unleash-google-hotword-detection-t2803261). This is what I'm actually using on my M8 and works just flawlessly. I set it up after a downgrade to Google search 3.5.14 cause google removed the descriptions from the debug flag menu you otain by running UnleashtheGoogle (and believe ma you need those descriptions).

Cheers mate but I'm stock (unrooted)
Can't root 'cus I can't afford to lose all the setup, settings, apps and data. They need to be restorable.

What about trying to S-Off with say SunShine. It will unlock bootloader and S-Off without data loss and you could go right away into installation of a custom recovery and rooting your device. The side effect is that you have to pay 25$ for the use of SunShine.

Unlocking bootloader is where you usually have a complete wipe... SunShine method doesn't wipe??

No SunShine does it without wiping. That's what I personally liked about it.
You get unlock without HTC knowing an without wipe and achieve S-Off.

Okay, trying it now then.

So now I've done all that... But Google hardly recognizes my speech. It only recognizes the OK Google properly, pff
2nd unrelated question: How do I uninstall Project Era sound mod? Any simple way?
3rd unrelated qs: I have Titanium backup of all my apps from previous phones, and more importantly, their data. How do I get Titanium backup to see all of them? (4GB)
Thanks a lot!

1st: Google has to learn your pronouncing. Did you set en-Us as primary speech and you mother language as second?
2nd don't know. Maybe they have a zip to flash and remove it as well.
3rd hmmm good one too. Doesn't it if you put it onto the extSD?

Ok and 3rd: not enough space to copy it onto internal I guess!?
For 2nd there is an answer found in the project era thread. It says no uninstall instructions, but the OP explicitly tells to run a backup prior to installing the mode for the case you want to remove it later on.

Yep, don't have that much room.
Yea, but it means I gotta go back like a month, lol. I've lost phone speaker sound cus of it hence.
I guess I'm gonna leave it until I have spare time to see all the files it's flashing, and then try to flash my old backed up files. Gah

Note: After this software update, an application update will be pushed to the device with a GPS patch. Please complete this application update to ensure the best possible GPS experience.

Here is a link to the files which the patch updated.
**THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP!**
You'll have to overwrite existing files with these and change permission.
In case you're having issues with the update, here are the files.
https://mega.co.nz/#!IY5hBY6Y!E15uXeShiru8Z0uBM3eM_4tqu_6h_mZWT18754YjjUk
I'll upload to dev-host tomorrow and also let you know exactly where to find each file for overwrite. I'm laying in bed and d-host won't upload from mobile for some reason.

Have you factory reset the phone yet? Some found doing this helped with the missing options for recent apps so might be the same here. That, or your version of Lollipop doesn't have it...I know mine does on 4.16.401.10 (or did before I went GPe)
