560dp!!

So for us with 2k screens like Nexus 6 in order to fix the launcher alignment someone that knows how to edit the Android manifest to change the screenDensity to 560 is what I believe is needed. I tried decompilng and recompiling myself and my apk won't install. I probably not doing something right since it is all new to me. My hope is that someone who knows how to successfully do this can for us.

[Android Apps and Games] saj2001ind:
It won't because launcher animations supersedes system animations
[Android Apps and Games] mahst68:
Tried it. No change in in the centering problem. We will probably be stuck with having to raise our DPI on the Nexus 6 to 640 if you want everything centered or just deal with the off center until a HTC phone is released with a 2k screen. Unless a n app programmer can figure out this for us although this is a relatively new issue due to only a few phones have such high density screens at this point.

[Android Apps and Games] robypal:
Hi everyone, my drvice is an xperia z2, i installed the la test version of blinkfeed that is present in the op. I have a few questions:

-very often when I'm multitasking blinkfeed acts as if it had been force closed, meaning even if I don't close it, it reloads all the time, what can I do to avoid this from happening?

-on my stock xperia launcher when I uninstall an app it uninstalls automatically without showing another window, whereas in blinkfeed when I uninstall an app it shows me the app uninstall page, how can I make it automatic?

-since I'm no manual theming expert, I found a seemingly excellent xposed module called sense 6 toolbox, which has a lot of options including masking the app drawer transparent. I installed it and enabled the module but it just won't open. Could it be a matter of device compatibility?

Maybe the last question is a bit off topic, perhaps someone knows of an easy alternative for blinkfeed theming?
[Android Apps and Games] mahst68:
Its skewed of center to the left with an unusable portion of the homescreen on the right, this is not on the blinkfeed news content section but does effect the weather icon and effects widget placement and icon placement on regular launcher screens, does not effect app draw.... basically from the Nexus 6 perspective, at 640 dpi centering is perfect (+80 dpi to stock setting), at the stock setting of 560 there is noticeable off centering as described above, as you decrease the dpi number (I like to run at 480) the gap gets worse. For the Nexus 6 Google regular launcher and Nova Launcher this does not happen... as long as you decrease typically by 80 dpi at a time... 493 is reportedly the native actual dpi of the screen for the Nexus 6 but by stock its 560... :good:

But for you maybe not for facebook too as you were unable to install the previous modded launcher by me and the other guy too.

No guarantee they will work on yours, so make a backup and give it a try and reconfirm.

They are meant for rooted device as they are flashable zip.

For non-rooted device, extract the apk from the zip and try to install it as normal apk.

Hopefully [MENTION=3245392]gakugaku[/MENTION] can help to sign these apks so they may work on non-rooted device.

Facebook For HTC Sense

GooglePlus For HTC Sense

Clock from v14 will install but then will not run (crashes), which may explain why BlinkFeed will not show time and weather.

[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
Clock and Weather on Blinkfeed page is related to HtcServicePack properly installed and set in Settings - Accounts.

(and of course you need to set the Blinkfeed page as Home)

The Clock and Weather apps only for when you click on them on Blinkfeed page. Without these apps, it will say "app not installed".

Nothing much that I can do as I can only test on HTC M8, don't have non-HTC device.

That's why it was mentioned "No guarantee they will work on yours"

You need someone with non-HTC device to mod it further.

Blinkfeed needs proper HtcServicePack, not really the clock and weather apps.

Are you running GPE on your M7 ? If yes, you don't need to install the base.apk (HtcServicePack) from V15. GPE already have HtcServicePack installed.

Read this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57960937&postcount=1561

and attached here are the clock app and the weather app that can be installed as normal apk (please test to confirm they are install able on your device as they are on mine)

[Android Apps and Games] DoragonHunter:

[Android Apps and Games] melando:

can you make both status bar and navigation bar transparent please sir:p
[Android Apps and Games] remixkilla:
Will this work on Nexus5 stock running 5.0.1?
[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
Status bar and Navigation bar transparency depends on SystemUI.apk and Blinkfeed Launcher. So cannot make a universal mod. Every device has a different SystemUI.apk. Even though yours is GPE running SkyDragon ROM, still your SystemUI.apk maybe different from mine which already modded to my liking.

I can teach you how to do this mod provided you know how to recompile/decompile SystemUI.apk

[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
Without a device it's very hard to help you. Hopefully there is another Nexus 6 user can advise whether the google+ plugin work or not on his device.

Can you check and confirm whether you have both Google+ and Google+ for HTC Sense are installed on your device.

Check in Settings - Apps
[Android Apps and Games] saj2001ind:
Ok I don't have google+ for htc sense there although I flashed your file

Can you give me another file which worked for you or maybe I will do something manually in systems folder
[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
Browse with any root explorer to system/priv-app and check whether the the file structure is system/priv-app/foldername or only system/priv-app/*.apk and also check whether the file that you flashed is in system/priv-app/GogglePlusPlugin folder.

If there is none, you can extract the apk from zip and manually place the apk in system/priv-app/foldername or system/priv-app (depends on file structure) and put permission rw-r--r-- then reboot. After reboot check again .. I don't know whether Nexus 6 has any system write protection like HTC.

If the file is removed after reboot, then the only way is to adb push while in recovery (custom recovery like TWRP or CWM)

[Android Apps and Games] saj2001ind:
its strange, i do have that apk file in correct path but still it is not shown in apps

can u pls give me other apk file for g+ to manually replace ad try
[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
This one from my device. (Actually it's the same one as in the zip ... unless I put the wrong file..unlikely).

The only reason, this file is may be not compatible with your device so it is not installed even when put in system.

Remember what you wrote here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57993561&postcount=1581

I thought that you can manage to make it work on your own.

Anyway ... if this is not workable, nothing much that I can do. Signing the file break the functionality, unless someone know how to sign it. I read somewhere there is a new method of signing apks related to gapps... but I don't look further.

Time to rest now ... good luck.

I also deleted the folder and file totally -> rebooted -> copied folder and file -> changed permission -> reboot ... still doesnt work

I noticed android upgrading does not appear when rebooting after manual pasting of files which means executable binaries are not getting created...i may be wrng

Dpi Issue

Firstly thanks for the port. I guess this only works good on high res screen / this has some serious dpi issues, the top part clock and weather depends on system dpi even when app dpi is changed using 3rd party xposed module. And at 240 dpi as the clock font dimensions are big, and layout of clock and weather being set continuous weather shows only half when clock gets two digits :) . I tried editing but new apktool throws "... is not public at.." error which is something new to me, if anyone have an idea about this please share, I would be grateful.

Note: For those who are getting "blinkfeed... stopped" error, download app settings xposed module and choose screen dp 480x854 or above (if default don't work), and dpi : 240 or whichever your system dpi is.

Thank you,

Aeon
[Android Apps and Games] cafefun:
Great post ! This is exactly it. Once you understand how blinkfeed works, you'll find out the best settings for your devices.

The key here is you need to combine DPI settings in App setting xposed module with modifying your build.prop DPI setting. I got the great result from 4.2 - 6.4 inches for my devices. Sharp screen/icons/texts, everything's at center and top clock/weather stay at full shapes (no cut out).

Play around with App settings module and build.prop's DPI, thats my advice.
