DO LAUNCHER

Hello XDA Users,

I know some of us really likes Sense 5 and blinkfeed.But No one can port correctly because of HTC's well packed frameworks...

So i started a project about that,

I wrote an app which makes easy to access News on all around the world.

I used JAVA Programming language and used Eclipse...

Features :

- Do-feed(RSS Reader On Homescreen)

- Do Center, a useful feature that helps you to check 3 days weather and also music players and many more..

- Launcher Animations.

- Page Animations.

- Many DO Launcher Themes, made by other developers.

- Weather on homescreen.

- Fully Customizable.

- Dock Customizations

- Custom RSS Feeds.

- Twitter And Facebook Integration.(Instagram and Google+ soon)

- And More...

!! What happened Sense 5 Looking based Old Do Launcher !!

It's long story.

HTC reported me to google for Copyrighted Sense 5 Resources used on my app..

And One day, I got a long mail from HTC and Google.

As you know, Lots of Sense 5 Resources (Icon packs,themes,widgets) are available on Playstore,and they are still there.

But looks like HTC doesn't like my app.

HTC And Google only removed my app.So blame to HTC....

After all of this, i changed design and worked on more than before,and fixed %80 of bugs. And released again.

But all download counters resetted by google ,actually i released as new app.Because of it's hard to re-activate my app,it's banned by DMCA(or something like that i didn't even understand actually what was going on...).

So in short, All design changed and all resources removed and added "free for commercial usage" stuff.And it's stable than before..

ANYWAY I added theme functionality for DO Launcher and sense 5,sense 6 themes will be available soon.
