{No, to everyone wanting to know about Themes, the only Theme you can use is your own wallpaper (you can download a free Wallpapers HD app that has hundreds of great wallpapers - choose and apply first) because any time you want to use HTC Themes, it asks you to "Please Sign In Again" over and over....Xpirit is working on it and he's already done a great job getting access to basic Theme stuff like color/texture/icons so far}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds like sound advice, a small batch at a time. The Google News is a separate app from Play Newstand (attached a screenshot); also has power to toggle sync on and off, so I disabled it. Still no change in Blinkfeed. However, even before I did that, there was a few minutes when Blinkfeed was actually working. It apparently does work for the length of a blink of the eye, with a handful of stories, then goes back to "Tap To Start". And that was when I hadn't deleted anything yet, just kept poking around in settings>accounts and switching to Google Now launcher.

I know the Nexus 6 is encrypted, and I've watched a couple vids showing how to disable the encryption (requires root); have you disabled it on yours? Did you root your N6 first? Also, apparently some phones have some kind of "security feature" that doesn't allow alogcat to capture a log worth anything (see reviews under alogcat), so instead of just giving it a bad rating I emailed the developer and attached what little logcat I was able to squeeze out before it automatically 'pauses' after a second or 2 even while I have the screen locked on and am watching it. and asked him what could be preventing it from working on my N6. Still waiting to hear back.

What I really think is the source of the problem is in how I transferred everything from my HTC one m7; AT&T told me to use AT&Tmobile transfer, which I did, but then my isp cut it off after 15GB worth of transfer. they have their usage set in case someone starts going crazy with a bit torrent. And I had to manually transfer via USB flash drive OTG to get everything, and some of my stuff (mostly images and text docs) is in the at&t mobile transfer app still. (And cool apps like Videoder, which was removed from Google Play because it recorded any youtube video perfectly :cool: ) I moved all the music out (this would've been done automatically if it hadn't cut off at 15GB) and most of the rest of my stuff, and made sure I erased all the HTC data that was in there when Xpirit said to make sure all previous versions and apks were off the device.
[Android Apps and Games] Dondep:
Yes. First, choose a wallpaper personally and set it before you begin, then long-press a home screen, choose "Change or edit Theme", then choose the menu bars next to "My themes" (no, scratch that; you'll probably think you should go there but it won't let you choose), instead, touch the "+", and it will download your existing wallpaper, then follow the bottom commands for "Next" (note it says "Colors are picked from this image" at the top), then you can check off "theme styles" like "Calvin", "Freestyler", Kawaii, Sleek, Structure, Travelar, and Urban. I'm switching to "Kawaii" as I'm typing, and once you click "Edit" at the bottom, it gives you a chance to choose different Textures and colors, and Icons, and even Sounds. Once you're satisfied with your choices (I just chose the round icons with different background colors), click "Preview", make sure it's okay, then "Next" at the bottom, then "Finish" and you're done.

Remember the COLOR you want will be the dominant color the phone will 'sense' (thus, Sense 7) from your chosen wallpaper. So don't choose a background with, say, a gray sky unless you want a lot of gray on your phone.

I experienced something similar on CM12 on my EVO, until I made it a system app then it was fine. I now have CM12.1 on it and so far no problems.

Has anyone tried dlowding themes from another source? I have kitkat version and installed theme resides in /data/data/com.htc.launcher/files. Dowloaded from htc they land in android/data/com.htc.launcher.

I am sure it looks different on android 5.*

If u are on android 4.4 try to put this in data/data/com.htc.launcher/files.

You need to extract it first

I download the WeatherClock Widget, tried to install but failed. I pushed it into the right folder so it would replace the old version. After a reboot I still doens't work. I have a HTC phone with Android 5.0.2 and Sense 6.

[Android Apps and Games] bigbubbamcgee:
I cannot find the official sense home apk on Google play. Have a direct link to it???
[Android Apps and Games] timbawolf2k:
just go apkmirror.com and search for it there
[Android Apps and Games] cappuccina:
You can find it on apkmirror website
[Android Apps and Games] bigbubbamcgee:
Thanks! I was able to find it. But, I still get the error that it can't connect to the HTC server. I have tried this method 4 times and still with the same results. I have even tried logging in with my old HTC username/password without any luck.
[Android Apps and Games] timbawolf2k:
Make sure you follow those steps to the letter. I was skeptical myself in doing it but I just downloaded like 10 themes just now!
[Android Apps and Games] bigbubbamcgee:
I did follow it down to the letter and still get the message about not being able to connect to the HTC server.

[Android Apps and Games] bigbubbamcgee:
Well, I have tried multiple different ways, including login with Facebook; but, when I go to download after logging in, it tells me to sign-in to HTC account again.
[Android Apps and Games] hovadrive:
I can tell you all this Once it not a HTC phone/Rom its not gonna stay sign in I believe there is some other app inside HTC Rom that it needs . I say this because I have a One Max and when I am on CM12 or CM12.1 it doesnt matter how or what i do it still tells me to sign into HTC account again , I go back to my HTC Rom and which ever Blinkfeed or Sense Home I use its fine I can download themes and am logged into HTC Account . :D However I use the blinkfeed form X because with the sense Home apk the widget that shows home/out/work keep disappearing form home screen .

Anyway just some feed back for yall
[Android Apps and Games] bigbubbamcgee:
I am running a LG G3 and Blinkfeed as well as the widgets all work great. Just really would have liked to figure out this theme situation. I have tried all the suggestions given, multiple times, but still get the same issue. I can get "logged into" the system; but, when I click on download for a theme or iconset, the message appears to login again.
[Android Apps and Games] c1-p8:
It works for me after clear MyHTC's data in Setting\App
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
Seems to be pretty hit and miss for people. I have been trying it for a while now and had no luck, up until now that is. I just got it working on my HTC EVO 4G LTE running CM12.1 (see attached screenshot) No go on my SGS4, but it is running KitKat afterall, so the apk mentioned in the next paragraph will not install on it.

Try using the account apk posted earlier in this thread, it is called htcaccount. I also sighed in using my Google account, not my long time HTC account. And before you or anyone else asks, no I will not post a link to the file or the post for you. Everyone here is perfectly capable of doing a search for themselves, so have at it.
[Android Apps and Games] bdizzle1686:
I know this isn't about the OP, but actually there is a third party launcher the has the actual HTC sense widgets working on it, but u must already have the widgets installed. (ex. Like on a htc one)

It's called HTC sapphire ui. It's a 3rd party launcher that's a hybrid combo of HTC BlinkFeed and Google Now Launcher... It's over in the one m8 themes and apps thread and is available on play store. It's actually a really nice work. I remember when the launchers creator finally figured out how to get em working...(the widgets)... It is possible
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
I'm not sure what ROMS you guys are using but why not use layers to theme blnkfeed? Here's a sample APK that changes blinkfeed from blue to pink (screenshot attached).

Let me know if anyone is interested in the project and I'll put it on my bitbucket.
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
OK so I got the theme download working, and after sorting through a few apk's i found it. So let's see if this one is better ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bigbubbamcgee:
I can edit/create my own themes, just can't download/install new ones from HTC. Not ideal because I'm a bit lazy :p and would rather have the one click install of entire theme. Especially since I really despise the iconset included on my G3.

This thread is littered with more requests for alternate and/or direct download mirrors than usefull posts! Does anybody read posts or does everyone just skip to the end and post a "I can't do it for myself, please make it idiot proof"? Any chance of a Mod cleanup (yes that would include this post as well) ?

For those who still can't get the files and especially for those requesting a direct download link, one has already been provided (Hint: in a prior post) ;)

And, the instructions that have been repeatedly posted by others trying to help those who can't seem to get the files from the OP's hosting site (and maybe to stop the repeated requests) work if you read and follow the directions. It can all be done on your phone, computer not needed.

And once again, a BIG thanks to xpirt for all your work!

you may want to add full download instructions in OP

google code/code checkout which most aint familiar with

some detailed "how to's" for a app to function well like....

setting feed page as home to show clock and weather

add plugins in services and apps

adding plugin accounts in settings/accounts then sync

set location to high accuracy

apps not working at the moment...g+ for instance

etc etc

so we'll not be seeing a thread full of querries

so...

1. as I said yesterday, today I will update links with new ones and people can have direct download links for latest apks..

2. I saw many people attached their logcat and that's really helpful as probably they're minor bugs. but there are still people which didn't, so please manage to post one (if you don't know how to take one, just search on google/xda, there are a lot of guides)

3. I've got HTC Gallery and Browser working fine too on my moto g gpe 5.0.1 with no edits. probably will release them too in the future together with HTC Music and Camera.

Sapphire ui is only available on HTC devices. I was able to install it on my x² through apk mirror but none of the functions work
[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
Could you download all of the themes and upload them here? Maybe Xpirt finds a way of manually applying the already downloaded themes, the only thing that would be required would be a person to redownload every new theme.

Also, the reason the downloads worked is because you own a HTC device (HTC EVO 4G LTE in this case), it doesnt matter which ROM you are using.

Would love if you did one colored like the old HTC Sense 6 green. Use the color picker to get the correct colors.

[Android Apps and Games] mahst68:
I hate to say use a toolkit to do your rooting and decrypting but its the easiest way to do so... Wug's is the one I use because it makes doing the decrypt easy... it can sometimes be a little nerve racking to know when to do so leading to things getting erased, etc. You can find it over in the Nexus 6 development thread. Its one-click... step by step to do many of the major tasks from bootloader unlocking to rooting to decrypt.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452

Decrypt REQUIRES ERASING ALL USER DATA from your phone so be aware..... it does not make that big of a difference then encrpyted... some will say look at the stats but the normal user really can't see the difference... encrypting or decrypting won't effect the Blinkfeed Launcher... :angel:

[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
This workaround here works 100%

Im using a Nexus 4.
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
Wait, what? This cannot be! I mean I was informed just a few posts above that the only reason it worked for me was because my phone is an HTC. In fact the ROM does not even matter as it is purely about the physical phone and only the phone.

Nevermind the fact that if this person had read prior posts they would have seen others stating they also had success getting it working on non-HTC phones.

True that it worked on my HTC and not the Sammy, but the HTC is running a Lollipop (CM 12.1 ) while the Samsung is running KitKat (stock rooted 4.4.2)

Sorry this is not about you spydersilk, it just gave me the perfect opportunity to respond to my quoted post :D

:highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
Well, i only said that because i didnt knew that there was a workaround which allowed to Download with the WiFi on, the authentication is still somehow releated to the phone, se just need to find where.

IMO, this workaround should be at OP, so people will have to do this only once.

Also, remember to add that the user must have a HTC Account already logged on the phone before doing the workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
Since this is actually off the topic of the thread (again if you would read up you would see xpirt stating that countless times) there is no reason for this to be in the OP.

And this is not true either, because I could not log in on my phone until after the whole thing was over and not with xpirts MyHTC apk, it was not until I removed that and installed the one I mentioned before that I was able too. And that was after all of the sense Home apk swapping was done. Prior to that it could not connect to the htc servers. And another note, the official Sense Home version. Would not even open on my phone. After install trying to open it would result in "app not installed" for the first few minutes. Then when that stopped the screen would jut go black and become mostly unresponsive.

My advice? Go back to the beginning and read through the thread like some of us have, some of us have even been following it from the beginning.

But more importantly, avoid stating things as fact... at least until we know for sure that they are facts.
[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
Didnt knew you had issues with that. About following the thread, I have been following it at the time it was only the sense 6 launcher posted.

Still, I don't have that much time (atleast not at the moment) to find that xpirt said something about not putting that into the OP.

About the authentication thing: It is a fact, its still releated to devices and accounts somehow.
[Android Apps and Games] RP-88:
That's my point.

I never said that he did.

Well with that broad a statement, i guess you can't be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
If you use material palette color then i think it can be a good variation !
[Android Apps and Games] ssaikiran:
Workaround is perfect with minor change

The workaround mentioned in previous posts works perfectly but with the HTCAccount apk mentioned in previous posts. I tried with xpirts' MyHTC apk but in vain. Then I tried with the HTCAccount apk....it works like charm. It worked last time too but after 1 day it showed sign in problem again. Should wait n see whether it happens again or I can enjoy themes forever....

Edit: After one day

Again it started to show please sign in to use themes.... But I downloaded them all.... :P and able to apply them. So the workaround is useful only for one day for me. Dont know about others...

From Jeffrey (aLogcat's developer) yet.

Did you say you rooted your N6 before you installed Xpirit's BF? I thought this could all be done without rooting?

Anyway; when I changed the style of my theme, also the icons, I came back and saw I had REAL BlinkFeed, for all of 5 minutes. Took a screenshot just to make sure I wasn't dreaming (attached). Soon as I changed to read my gmail, I lost it again.

[Android Apps and Games] saj2001ind:

so not sure what you are trying to tell here
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
The method isn't working for me. After uninstalling the official sense home, I can't reinstall the OP blinkfeed. Just says app not installed. Tried with WiFi on and off, reflashing rom, just about everything. Grrr.
[Android Apps and Games] cappuccina:
I think what he meant was, search for the app on Google. And few post after his was also mentioned you can download from apkmirror website.

I was also highly sceptical but I can tell this weird method works. At least for me also.

I do have an HTC device but I don't think that had anything to do with it.

It's an HTC One X that hasn't come past 4.2.2 officially. So not supported in any way.

I'm running aicp 5.1 atm

I had Xpirts Blinkfeed installed when I read his method

I uninstall it and tried to install official sense home downloaded from apkmirror.

It wouldn't let me install it.

So I copied it to system folder anyway.(because I thought I just force it to install [emoji14] ) Soft rebooted and had no Launcher :) only a black screen. And FC's

So I went and deleted it again and copied Xpirts Blinkfeed again to system (I had it also as system app before) rebooted again and tried themes and it somehow worked.

I could see my profile and the themes I made online on PC before ;)

But it didn't work as expected until I switched to HTC standard theme. After that downloading themes worked for me.

Also I'm using the HTCaccount.apk and not the MyHtc.apk from OP. This wouldn't allow me to sign in at all. So I can't use themes even offline. With the HTCaccount.apk it works.

Just my thoughts.

Thanks to [MENTION=5132229]xpirt[/MENTION] for porting Sense 7 for all devices. Really great work.
