If You Like This, Please Donate to xprit or Gaku Gaku. I Don't Do the Programming. Just Bringing Over to this Thread So It's Easier for You Guys to Consume! :victory:

All the Recent Developments are on the Last Pages of That Thread So If You Want to Help With the Programming, Please Post There & Here.

I'm on 5.1 Verizon Lollipop Build... Rooted & Stock... Due to instability with most custom roms and 5.1, I'm running stock right now until everyone works out the bugs

KNOWN ISSUES

- Since HTC still decided not to go with 2K screens for the M9. There's still a centering issue when trying to bring the Blinkfeed launcher over for Sense 7... Last time 532 DPI worked great for Nexus 6 with the blinkfeed launcher, however under 5.1 Lollipop it seems that Google changed something with the programming to not accept certain DPI settings causing an "optimizing apps" bootloop. With that said, it does not appear that this is a 100% issue with everyone but just so you are warned and don't get stuck in a "optimizing apps" bootloop,

please be careful when changing DPI settings... fully power down, reboot, try creating backups to make sure none of these cause you bootloops

. For me, I had to go to 520 DPI now... not as perfect as 532.... but no boot loops. Some experimentation maybe needed on your own.

Make sure to do a "full backup" (cache, efs, system, data, etc.) before installing and changing DPI Settings.

- Although You Can Install Without Root Access. Some Functionality MAY REQUIRE ROOT at this point. :crying:

- FitBit & FourSquare apps will cause Feed Content not to Load due to Their Integration into The Real HTC Version. :silly:

- Animations in Weather App Require Separate File to Be Flashed In TWRP or Custom Recovery of Your Choosing :cool:

- BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!!!!! THUS THE NEED FOR ROOT AND CUSTOM RECOVERY!!!

THE FILES

I plan to mirror the files here but for now use the xpirt's thread to get the latest updates:

This now includes working HTC widgets (clock widget!!!) including the new locations based home, work & away widgets....

Google+ plugin still seems to cause issues with login... all others work great!

They are working on getting some of other apps working as well (Camera, etc.) and trying to get themes working as well.

Omar1c also has been working on getting some HTC Sense 7 apps up and running for Nexus 6... He had a thread going that came out before Sense 7 was released, so he had to stop work on it. Hopefully now with the release of Sense 7, he will start work back up on it... (He has a working camera, file manager and music!!! but he will have share or give me the OK)

I am keeping the link to the weather animations as it still works with Sense 7 perfectly.

Weather App Animations

If you want to thank anyone for the programming to get these to work & have any technical questions, they might be a better resource. A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLES WORK WENT INTO THIS. THANKS TO ALL OF THEM!!

My hope making a post over here in the Nexus thread is to maybe get some interest from some good Nexus programmers that maybe able to fix specific issues Blinkfeed has with our phones. Like the DPI issue and get some specific bugs addressed for us. Feel free to comment, help out or whatever. I personally like Blinkfeed, others don't, but I really like Blinkfeed on Nexus. :good:

Thanks!

SCREENSHOTS TO COME!!!!! :good:
