I'm having trouble getting Blinkfeed to work. It installed perfectly but when I choose which news I want to see it just keeps updating, nothing happens. Looks like some sort of a connection problem, everything else on my phone works fine. Also, when I click on the clock, it says the App is not installed. Any help? :)

EDIT: Sorted everything out. Tumblr was the problem for Blinkfeed not showing content. Weird. Also just Installed the other BlinkfeedLGClock.apk and the clock is fine now.

My problem is that i dont know where i have to search to reach \res\values\integres.xml :D

Im so sorry but i have not much experiance in such things :D
[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
Hi this would require decompiling the APK and navigating to the folders as shown below

[MENTION=689411]xvicedice[/MENTION] can you tell me what I need to decompile the blinkfeed.apk? I'm trying with APK Studio, but I don't know which framework I need. When I try to install framework-res.apk from M8 it doesn't install.

You can see the original xpirt thred. There is the link of files needed for working animations. You must download and put it to android folder of your device.

now.. I don't really care about it but when I put some efforts on doing something I let people use/modify/public my mods with at least a mention to me & link to original thread, that's the little effort I ask for.

I have also tried http://www.decompileandroid.com/ with no luck. APK editor on my phone does allow to see and edit resources, however once I try to save changes it gives me an error. Will be trying some more.

Could you please suggest what settings do I need to edit to make sense 7 launcher fit my One X screen with set 280 dpi (320 is the default for the device). 'Cause once I change dpi sense moves to upper left corner leaving space on the right and bottom of the home screen.

[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
yes send over the blinkfeed you are using and the timely apk and ill do the rest for you
[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
first of all it sounds as though your APK tool may be out of date, try changing it over for RC4 - http://connortumbleson.com/2015/02/12/apktool-2-0-0-rc4-released/

In regards to the launcher fitment, drop me over a picture so i can see the problem and ill try and help out for you
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
HtcBlinkFeed - v7.0.498247 (from OP) and the Timely it's the latest from the google play

Btw do you know if I can just install the weather widget or do I need the wheather app and also the world clock?

Because from those, i just wanted the widget...
[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
ok so just so i do not confuse myself. you want the clock to still launch the standard clock and timley to launch when you click the weather ?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
Actually I wanted so I clicked the time it opens Timely. For weather I don't really need nothing (you can leave the stock BlissPop clock), because I check the weather in google now

PS: Btw, if I have 2 clock apps installed (the stock + timely), won't that give me worst battery life because it needs to do more wake locks?

Thanks a lot. I will try apktool you have posted once I get to my PC

As for screenshots I am attaching what I've got. I am using HTC one X with 280 dpi. It is 4x4 version as of 12.04.2015 by xpirt. You can clearly see unusable space on the right and the bottom of the home screen.

I am also attaching a screenshot of holo launcher, that is what I'd perfectly want to have in sense (just would swap standard clock widget for sense one).

Is it possible to have seven apps in dock?

Thank you very much for helping.
[G3 Themes and Apps] sheva_xan:
Here is screen from holo launcher. Somehow it was not attached to my previous post.
[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
so would you like it to be 5x5 or just 4x4 with the better spacing ?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
If you are using a HTC one X, why post on G3?
[G3 Themes and Apps] sheva_xan:
Thanks. I would like 5x5 with appropriate spacing as well as 7 apps in the dock (I guess it is in values\integers.xml)

If I am not mistaken it is just below cell_count_x and cell_count_y and should look like this:

<integer name="hotseat_cell_count">7</integer>
<integer name="hotseat_all_apps_index">4</integer>

Not sure if some other settings would need to be modified to adjust for spacing...

And last thing is it possible to make every widget resisable withing the launcher? E.g. Shuttle player widget is only 4x4 and could not be resised in sense launcher, but is perfectly resisable in others e.g. hololauncher.

Again, thank you very much for helping.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Well, it is because xvicedice is the only one I have found that modifies Sense 7 resources. In the OP there were some instructions I needed help with, xvicedice kindly agreed to provide the help. I am sure that this will also be very useful for G3 users, who would want to modify their DPI.
[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
first of all for the homescreen you are going to need to mod the following

\res\values\integers.xml

<integer name="cell_count_x">5</integer>
<integer name="cell_count_y">5</integer>

these values will modify the icon spacing

\res\values-sw360dp\dimens.xml

<dimen name="workspace_cell_width_port">78.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_cell_height_port">110.0dip</dimen>

All widgets on sense 7 shoudl automatically be resizable. you just holkd your finger on it till the outside goes blue and its good to go.

This will fix how many icons go in the hotseat but you may have to again play arround with the hotseat dimens (in the same file as the workspace dimens) for desired result

<integer name="hotseat_cell_count">7</integer>
<integer name="hotseat_all_apps_index">4</integer>
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
I sended you a message, asking if this app was either the widget app or the blinked app modified, because the changes you did were on the widget aspect, but you asked me what version of blinkfeed I had... left me a bit confused...

Thanks again for all the help! :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] sheva_xan:
Thanks a bunch. It is great that you have posted what shall be done instead giving me the apk. Now I would be able to do it myself everytime a new update comes out.

[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
BlinkFeed Fked up

Installed the original blinked app, and in my BlissPop 2.2, the widget does't go close to the right (can't me maximised to the right) and it's to far away from the bottom. How do I fix this? Also, I wanted 5 per row and it's still 4 (they said the newest version they changed from 4 to 5...).

Help needed, Thanks!
[G3 Themes and Apps] Sajito:
I had the same issue.

You need to install the framework from M8, maybe download a rom for HTC One M8 and get framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk.

Install them as framework via apktools, then it should work.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Akhayev:
Why cant i download themes or wallpapers?? It keeps telling me please sign in again
[G3 Themes and Apps] BORKISHA:
Wich one is the original blinkfeed, that you install. Blinkfeed with 5x5 dimension is in google drive link in first post in moded folder. You must install moded version off blinkfeed and widget.

Here is the link

https://drive.google.com/folderview...1JSk0wMjdWSEJNZ1hEWFlzWTNkNzNySjJBV1BJdkhfOWM

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

You can't download themes for now. You can make your own.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
Just to confirm, should I install all those 4 files on the Google Drive folder? (there are 2 apk of weather widget for example)

Also, does I have to install in a certain order. Currently now I have all original files installed from OP, no modded, because the one that he did me, didn't function well.
[G3 Themes and Apps] sheva_xan:
Great! Now after installing the M8 framework files you have mentioned I am finally able to compile sense 7 apk with my own settings!

Unfortunately not all widgets are resizable, e.g. sense clock widget is resizable only horizontally, but not vertically, can't resize power widget at all.

It worked like a charm without any further tweaks, although to make drawer icon in the middle I had to adjust it's place to 3 instead of 4, namely:

<integer name="hotseat_all_apps_index">3</integer>

The best fit I've discovered for my device was using:

<dimen name="workspace_cell_width_port">82.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_cell_height_port">130.0dip</dimen>

So now I am happy user of Sense 7 on my device. Thanks everyone for your help :good:
[G3 Themes and Apps] BORKISHA:
There are 2 versions first open stock htc clock when tap it other open stock lg clock. So you must install 2 files not 4. The choise is yours.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
Have you seen the picture I posted here? I'm having a worst problem that is related to the widgets not being to resize correctly... The weather widget can't resize it to go the the right and the home/work/out widget, can't also resize it to go to the right corner and also stays so far away from the bottom... In cloudy ROM wasn't like this probably because the size is the normal, but here things are a bit smaller (better imo) - BlissPop 2.2 and maybe that's why the widgets are messed up... It's a pity because I really want this to work on my D855...

PS: the Google Drive link you sended had 4 files: 2 blinkfeed and 2 htc clock widget, that's why I got confused. What I wanted was for the HTC home to be fine with the widgets and not messed up and for the time widget, so when I press the weather - htc weather and when I press the time - timely or stock BlissPop clock

Thanks for all the help. Sorry having so many difficulties with this... View attachment 3265587View attachment 3265588
[G3 Themes and Apps] xvicedice:
the reason that that is a problem is just due to the resizing. the dimensions need to be changed. is what i would suggest is download the one in the link in the first post. if that works we can just mod it from there. im using bliss pop as well.

if the one in the first post works let me know and i can just do a few smali edits to get your timly working. PS you would still need HTC weather installed for it to work
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
The one that in google drive (in OP) is in the modded folder? If yes, just the blinked app or all?

[G3 Themes and Apps] Akhayev:
Just was wondring do we have to install these two apps ?? And what will happen if we installed them? ..thank you
[G3 Themes and Apps] sheva_xan:
No you do not need to install these apps. I have no idea what will happen if you do. These are M8 framework that allow you to recompile sense apk files on your desktop PC. If you are not going to modify sense apk yourself then you do not need these framework at all.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Thanaya:

Still not working...

Hey again guys,

So I tried this time following the first post: installed the blinkfeed app (in modded folder of google drive), then installed the weather and the service packs from the links and go the same result.

The home/work/out widget, still doesn't come close to the right corner, to the left yes, i can resize it to go more down or up, but not to the right, just like the picture I uploaded it before... Can anyone know how can I solve this please?

In this picture I tried to resize the clock widget and even appeared a red line, saying I couldn't... In the Home/Work/Out widget I simply couldn't, didn't even saw a red line...

D855 using BlissPop 2.2

Help me solve this please.

[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
Thank you. I appreciate it a lot.

However another member just posted on this thread saying he flashed the recovery files... Do I have also to flash it via recovery? Or it's another way?

Here it what I did exactly, because maybe I missed one file that was important or installed in the wrong way (didn't flash it via recovery):

1) Enter in google drive folder -> modded -> installed blinked apk

2) Installed weather from http://d-h.st/5p5

3) Installed service pack from http://d-h.st/LK4s

4) Rebooted

Maybe I did something wrong...

Tell me what you want. So the same with timely. I can make this app opened for you from blinkfeed. When you touch clock. Just need link to apk.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Hgneto:
I wanted the app draw to be like 4x5 or 5x5 and the widget (home/work/out) to be 5 horizontal and 3 vertical (but that I could make 2 vertical if I want to change, by simply resizing it). The weather widget was working great, but if you could launch timely when I click the clock that would be 5*. The timely app is the latest version from the google play store (1.3 currently), when there is a new update for the app, will I have to flash another Blinkfeed or no? Hope not.. :p
