sorry if this has been answered already, i did read over 10 pages before posting, anyway, i have installed the apks from sense 7, when i add content to blinkfeed i can open each one individually and it will display normally but if i go to the blinkfeed home it just says updating for a long time then nothing, if i swipe left it doesn't show any of the feeds i have added, if i click on remove content it shows none that i have added but if i click on add content drop down it says "united kingdom (3)", im assuming the 3 is the 3 feeds i have added

im using a z ultra running resurrection rom, i had the same results on stock 4.4 rooted too

also tried sense 6 but it just crashes before i get anywhere

here is the logcat for sense 7 running on resurrection rom in the attachment

shame that you can not download the icons and themes of HTC because there are beautiful themes, maybe in the future you can download?

Hi. Sense 7 launcher looks great!

Is it possible to somehow make the launcher better adapt it to various DPI (I am using 280dpi and widgets and icons are not centered, too much space left below fourth row of icons and on the right) and make more settings, for example, set up 7 icons in the dock, 5x5 icons in both launcher and drawer etc?

I was looking for xposed module, but unfortunately did not find one for sense 7.

Thanks a lot for the great development.

Thank you.

Do all of you have HTC accounts, from before? Did you have an HTC device you no longer use, that's how you know Blinkfeed's a good thing? I'm beginning to suspect that HTC is blocking us, since our accounts are tied to our old HTC devices which, if we return or deactivate, alert HTC to accounts that are trying to use the Blinkfeed with a competitor's device. Just speculation tho, so don't quote me on it. But I'm going to try later on to set up a NEW HTC account, with a new email address, and then reinstall the newest apk's.

And to pluscss and the others that have the problem of having to manually access individual blinkfeed sources to get a blinkfeed I have yet to grab a logcat after reinstalling newest apk's of xpirit's but will post it here when I do later on.
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
Yes I have had my account for a some time, but no it is not flagged or deactivated. I reinstalled the officially unofficial HTC Sense 5 / JB 4.3 build (Capt's ROM built from the RUU) on my EVO last night and had no problems accessing my account on it. Even restored all backed up settings from my HTC account.
[Android Apps and Games] Dondep:
Key words: Sense 5, and [HTC] EVO. If you have a current HTC device in good standing somewhere, on some network, and especially if you're using an older version of Blinkfeed, but this is a Sense 7 Blinkfeed thread and there are a few of us who can't yet use Xpirit's Sense 7 Blinkfeed except to wait forever while it "Updates", and then we have to manually access each individual feed. After I finish helping someone with their taxes - and grabbing that logcat - I plan on setting up a new account for HTC using a different email address and then reinstalling it to see if it will allow me 'in', both for Blinkfeed and Themes. Even without any of the Service apps installed (I don't do Facebook, and I deleted my Instagram and Tumblr and Flickr apps), it still shows up with Foursquare, Tumblr and Flickr listed under 'Service Apps'. In fact, it eliminated the "Tap here to start" for the Service apps (calendar, zoe, foursquare, tumblr, flickr) so I took a screen shot (would prefer that dark blue it originally had, but I'll live with the yellow for now til things get ironed out).
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
Sense 7 huh? Whoa thanks for pointing that out, never would have noticed ;) At any rate I was simply pointing out that I do have an existing account that has been inactive for a while now because I deactivated the phone. That falls right in line with what you seemed to be getting at. The last Sense version used actively on the evo was 5.5, so it was 0.5 versions old when this thread started as a Sense 6 project.

Just a thought here, but perhaps more specifically detailed questions bring replies that are more in line with the desired scenario. :good:

But I am curious about the direction you seem to be taking. It appears that you are trying to link your "updating" problem in core Blinkfeed with the inability to login and or stay logged in to an HTC account for the purpose of downloading themes. Is that right? Because the two, in my belief, are two separate issues since an HTC Account is not needed for basic Blinkfeed to function.

Anyway, I gave a little feedback based on the questions presented, nothing more.
[Android Apps and Games] lancespahr:
With the latest apks, you can create your own themes and thereby change the color from yellow to almost anything ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] Dondep:
Yes, it's two separate issues, but maybe not so separate - if the original problem was the account. I wasn't concerned with Themes, would've been happy with the dark blue that came up originally, but I've never been able to get a blinkfeed going (except to wait for a couple minutes while it "updates") unless I manually go into one of the news feeds. I have to read up between pages 219 and the last couple pages to see what was said when Xpirit added Themes, but I plunged right in earlier today when Lollipop updated on my N6 to 5.1, thought that would be a good time as any to do it. So I downloaded and installed Xpirit's latest apk's, incl the new one for My HTC Account. Since I already had an HTC account, it saw my email and asked me for my password, so I gave it and it let me in - I thought "woohoo!! finally, BLinkfeed!!" but no, after I set up the home screen, clock and weather widget, or maybe it was after I installed and opened "My HTC Account", I went through the process of "personalizing"....that's right - it was on the notification bar. So I did, and that's when I ended up in the Themes Hall of Mirrors. And it wouldn't let me download any theme of course, kept re-asking me to "Please sign in again to your HTC Account".

But the original problem still exists; "Tap To Get Started".

I went to HTC.com and saw there's a "new security update" for Sense 7, and tried to download it but it wouldn't let me. Prob cuz this isn't an HTC phone. And when I tried to log into my account on my PC, it wouldn't recognize my account email address at all. So the phone recognizes it, but keeps asking me to log in again; even when clicking on "Sign Out", and "Are you sure you want to sign out?" it still asks us to "Please sign in again". Maybe if the account issue is resolved, it'll unblock the Blinkfeed, but Xpirit asked for a logcat in the event deleting all the "service apps" didn't work, and before I do that I'm going to delete the new apks' and reinstall while a logcat is running. Meantime I also set up a second HTC Account, using a different email address, and see if I can log in using that.

But first, the taxes.

It works on Nexus 6, It's operator errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrorrrrrrrrrrr!

Works on my nexus 6... everything including downloadable themes via the switch off apk hack already discussed numerous times.... as mentioned earlier, i believe your problem is with an app you have installed.... The blinkfeed ports are known to not display on the highlights page and only in the individual feeds themselves when an app that is installed on your phone causes a weird error by not showing any of your picked content on the highlights page.... I am at work and I do not know if anyone has ever sent a logcat on it to Xpirit to see if he could finally solve the mystery as to why this happens when certain apps are installed.... for me, I have a FitBit (Health tracking device) and its app is known to cause this error where nothing shows up under highlights... foursquared is another one and I also believe tumblr is too.... the recommendation is.... clean install, no apps but google apps, install xpirits blinkfeed sense 7 stuff and see if your feeds work, if that works, then try to do the apk switch hack to get downloadable themes working, then install your apps 1 at a time, checking to see if your highlights blinkfeed page disappears, when it does, BAM!, you know which app is causing the issue... uninstall it and your highlights page will come back.... trust me, its like magic and I wish I could show a little video on it, because it disappears as quickly as you install an app that causes the error then it comes back as quick when you uninstall.... I posted my screen captures from my Nexus 6 2 or 3 pages back (pg 229) if you don't believe that it works on Nexus 6. End of Line.... :good: :highfive: :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Dondep:
{edot to add: wow, just now saw your screenshots on page 229; I see you have at least 200 apps yourself! Don't tell me you went through all of them, or were you just lucky to hit the snag in the first few?}

I'm sure you're right, (remember I did uninstall the 'known' apps that would cause this) and I'll be reading up over the past 12 pages I've missed, but I've got almost as many apps on this phone as this thread has pages. Seriously. Also, just a short while ago I picked up the phone and lo and behold, a BlinkFeed was starting to bloom (attached). True it was only 6 stories, but there it was soon as I turned the phone on. A mix that included "music highlights" which I hadn't added to content but was so happy to have it that I clicked the + sign to add it (Music Highlights). Shortly after that I got a "Problem with authorization" notification bar, "tap to resolve", after which even the 8-story embryonic budding BlinkFeed was gone. :(

[Also, there are a couple apps I have that I paid for and wouldn't be allowed to download them again on a different device, two are no longer available, but I wonder if deleting the non-google apps one at a time might accomplish it. It still wouldn't explain why I was starting to get Blinkfeed, but then when I "tapped to resolve" the "authorization issue", it removed the Blinkfeed altogether.]

How would you explain that?
[Android Apps and Games] mahst68:
it's an app... plain and simple... causing your problem. Do a titanium backup on your apps... then do a full twrp recovery... wipe in twrp & re-install whatever rom you're using or just go back to factory... really, it is not that difficult to full wipe and re-install, play store remembers your apps, think of it as "spring cleaning", it works 100% on the Nexus 6. you do need to adjust dpi to 520 or "adb shell wm size" command to adjust the screen a little but other than that it works fast, with themes... probably only an actual htc phone does it work better on... hell, I put it on my wife's new S6 Edge and it works perfectly too. You can't have your "cake" and eat it too with this type of port / hack... it is intended to be installed prior to app installs in a perfect world... trust me if you have over 200+ apps on your phone, it is hard to know which one is causing you grief... mine works perfectly on a 220+ app installed phone with a custom rom with custom system hacks with sense 7 over top of it.... trust what I am telling you that you need to try this from a clean install... if not, no more whining..... lastly, the whole myhtc account has absolutely NOTHING to do with the blinkfeed working... my wife doesn't have a htc account, never had a htc phone and her blinkfeed works like butter.... end of line. :crying: :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] Dondep:
I get that now. It's not the ones Xpirit has mentioned previously tho, so this is news to at least two of us.

You make it sound so easy! I'm no developer, just a user and a fan of blinkfeed; barely know what a rom is, no idea what twrp is, or where I can get a "titanium backup". But I'll find it. I'll probably even find more answers in the pages I have yet to read up on here. And if you have 200+ apps on your phone, you know that play store does NOT remember all your apps, assuming they all came from there. Some of mine sure didn't.

I'm fine with the way it is, but I'll work on that issue once I get through all this stuff. That'll be much easier from what I read earlier in this thread, though again I'm not familiar with "adb shell wm size" and if I had to I'd live with the current dpi setting.

Yep. sounds about right. When I saw the original article about this port, the author made it sound so easy. :rolleyes:

Maybe Xpirit should've consulted with you first when he started hearing about this issue. It was ignored when we started posting screenshots about it several weeks ago, but we know he's been working on it. Keep in mind we're not all techies or developers here, and it's plain that most people who installed this port have succeeded with no problem. Including your wife. If it's an app, it's one that requires some kind of account authorization that a single tap on a notification bar can cure, so don't beat up on me if I'm contributing some info that will help the man make the (almost) perfect port. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mahst68:
Not flammin' bra

Not trying to flame you , Bra...... Xpirit does not have to consult me for anything.... his knowledge on this is light years past mine. It would be like a human trying to talk to an ant... ergo I'm the ant... :good:

With that said, if you have like devices where it works 100% of the time and the another same device where it does not work, you look at the differences first. As I had this work fine on stock lollipop 5.1, the only conclusion can be 1 of 2 things:

1. Although same devices, sometimes internals in the device are different (memory, ram, etc.) and can cause subtle differences from 1 device to the next... (highly unlikely, but possible)

2. Some user installed setting / app / etc. that is not the same from device to device is causing the issue. (Most likely case here, especially when dealing with a stock un-rooted device, which sounds like what you have)

It has nothing to do with skill level, android familiarity, rooting or programming... it's a simple logical guess.

Now, as it sounds, your not use to dealing with root and nandroid backups... however, this will be essential to "you" figuring out your issue.

If you go to the Nexus 6 Forum Threads, you will find out that there are apps for your computer that will do all the rooting, bootloader unlocking and custom recover (twrp) for you.... however you will lose everything to do this, once you have root though, you can make FULL backups of all your apps, system settings, cache... you name it... then try changing things around, which if they don't work, you can just flash back to your backup, no harm done. Titanium Backup is an app that will back up your user installed apps and their data, it too is highly effective if you to keep doing full system wipes, especially when installing new roms.

Just as a heads up, I did nothing special to install it on my wife's S6 or my phone for that matter, just install like normal apk... like xpirit says. it works fine that way.... end of line. :highfive:

Okay, I was up all night trying to get this right; uninstalled and reinstalled - twice. :mad: Tried to get a logcat but couldn't even get gibberish so I uninstalled alogcat, then found a tutorial on YouTube for alogcat, but unlike the tutorial the free alogcat app couldn't even produce what it did last week when I first tried using it. :(

It's definitely an app that's interfering with not only my HTC account (which is not allowed to sync, when I go to accounts), but my Guardian account (another newspaper gone digital, also a feed in BF). I went through every app that has permission to toggle sync, and I think I found the problem. It's Google News, which I forgot I was even signed up for but when I found Google Fit, it was in a subfolder on that same page. I went to Google account history, then Manage History, then clicked the menu and there were all the Google apps listed, including Google+ and YouTube. There's a "News" app; I thought they'd gotten rid of it, but it's connected to Google Chrome (of course :rolleyes: ) and it remembered all my news sources from which it produces what's basically an imitation of Blinkfeed. I found News & Weather in Apps, and sure enough it has the power to toggle sync on and off. What's ironic is when I got to it there was a story on the radio about how Google is being sued in Europe for suppressing other apps and ads in favor of its own services. Coinkydink? Not likely. I stripped most of the apps I don't use much, uninstalled about a half-dozen completely, disabled a few more, and narrowed it down to a handful of apps that have the power to toggle sync on and off, and I bet it's that damn Google News that's doing it.

I also found a "View Video" app that wasn't in my app folder; it's an HTC app for viewing video that I must've transferred over from my HTC One m7, but since it had the power to toggle sync on and off, I uninstalled that too, along with Zoe, just to make sure I had a clean HTC slate before reinstalling. All for naught. I know most people here have had a great experience getting Blinkfeed on their phone, but for me it's been a nightmare. I'm just gonna take your advice and remove everything, lock stock and app.

Thanks for mentioning Titanium Backup; I'll work with that. Meanwhile for the folks like me that have Sync frozen on their HTC Account under "Accounts" (I even set up a second one, with my alternate email address, and verified it on my PC first to make sure it worked), I'm posting a couple screenshots of where it took me when I figured it was another Google dictator-app that was doing this. (Actually I need to remove my full name first).
