[One (M8) Themes and Apps] petalyaa:
Description

​

I've been a fan of blinkfeed since I started using my M7 until today with the beast M8. But I also love AOSP rom especially the new Lollipop. I can't resist to use it but after a week I started to miss news on my homescreen. So I began my development for this application over the weekend and here it is. After lot of test and work in this project, now its quite stable(at least for me). No more beta. Its different from other launcher. Trust me, you can try it. I'm using SDK for Lollipop because I like the material design.
