Can't live without BlinkFeed. :p HTC looking for someone else to provide the news. I suppose it's not cheap to maintain servers for BlinkFeed.
[Android Apps and Games] vkvinaykulkarni:
Which Icon pack ? Looks great..
[Android Apps and Games] kirankp:
:confused:

Hi,

Right now i had this issue-my device restarted suddenly while watching youtube and i got this notification about sense8 after restart. Did anyone also had this issue? It didnt happen for sense7 that i downloaded from here. Also now i wonder that the sudden app crashing issue i have been having since last few days is caused by sense8?:(

My device: Lenovo s580 Kitkat 4.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] Chandresh204:
Materialistik Icon pack, bought it from playstore and then converted using the converter script to make it compatible with sense home
[Android Apps and Games] drsparsh:
Look for the icon packs in themes with masking ability. It will change all icons.
[Android Apps and Games] nobreak1970:
Entire themes from the htc theme app are working on my LG V10 using the June 30 beta.
[Android Apps and Games] ZahidGT N7100:
Bro i downloaded the same htc 10 icon pack on my moto x play sense 8 beta but dialer and contacts and other stock app icons remain unchanged. I downloaded from htc theme store
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
a clue ???

Then now... big question :

• is it interesting to upgrade to Sense 8 beta ?

actually Sense 7 work with all my needed service... weather, clock, etc...

Upgrade or not ?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] old.splatterhand:
I can only speak for myself: no, i don't upgrade to Sense 8. Even on my HTC One M8 i'm on Sense 7.

If i don't need freestyle layout, there is no profit for me (i also don't use blinkfeed).
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
Thx, but in my configuration, blinkfeed is my homescreen...
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Hey, still using the Find 7? News republic is a poor substitute. Stick to sense 7. Apart from freestyle layout, there's nothing else. Weather clock widgets are missing except the small clock and if you use car, no weather. No weather animations. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
Hi tropical... yep still on my Old Find7... (waiting about Xiaomi or wiat surface phone or HP windows phone = profesionnal tool for me, awesome)

then i will stay on this full working Sense 7 until, HTC release real full blinkfeed for all !!!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] beanbean50:
aku actually prefer News Republic as it has a night mode which stops my eyes from bleeding when starring at a bright white background like the old blinkfeed :D
[Android Apps and Games] ichigo_kurosaki:
Wow! Love the new Sense 8! Working flawlessly on my cheap Alcatel Flash Plus 1 powered by mtk. No bugs noticed so far. Only question:

1.What is/are the change/s in the latest version of sense 8? I only got the beta, v 8.01 something, which, according to a few pages back, is the only one working for non htc devices.

2.i have weather plugin, fb plugin, servicepack from sense 7 (also from this thread. OP to be exact). So far it seems only weather aint working for me. Sure, weather shows up on blinkfeed, but if i click it, the "open with" screen shows up.

3.can anybody point me please in the right direction for the new htc sense input?
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Set a dark colour for BlinkFeed. That's what I usually do when creating a theme. Also, I think I told you about twilight from play. You can adjust intensity to your liking. Always on when I read in bed. :D
[Android Apps and Games] jasonevil:
Theme store themes only theme the stock HTC apps, dialer and contacts
[Android Apps and Games] ZahidGT N7100:
Is there a way to theme all the icons?
[Android Apps and Games] jasonevil:
Most require root and a custom ROM. I know with htcs theme editor it can't be done.
[Android Apps and Games] :
The beta you have is the ONLY version that will work on a NON HTC phone, I saw a newer beta on apk mirror, downloaded and installed it, and got a "Your device is not authorised to run sense home" error.

The plug in for weather doesn't work with the new sense home beta

In fact, in my case, none of the older sense apps will work with the new home beta, I've asked here if there is a work around, but seems not.

You must uninstall all sense apps before installing sense 8 home beta obviously, I tried some of the sense 7 apps and newer sense 8 apps from apk mirror and none worked........

You could try apk mirror for the newest sense input, but I tried and doesn't install.

I'm running sense 8 home beta and news republic/google plus/facebook on a second gen moto e running CM13 android 6.0.1 marshmallow.
[Android Apps and Games] ichigo_kurosaki:
Hmmm..but as you can see from my screenshots i have fb integration working. So im supposing thd servicepack apk from sense 7 is doing its thing. Also the fb plugin from sense 7. I read here a few pages back that sense 7 plugins will work with sense 8.
[Android Apps and Games] ogre del:
I didn't install the fb plugin or Twitter plugin, and both work perfectly on the sense 8 beta. I uninstalled all apks from this thread, and just installed the beta and news republic and all works fine
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Yeah, I think that should be the way. The weather, Facebook and HTC account apk is already included in the sense 8 apk. You might get a conflict if you don't uninstall xpirt's apks.
[Android Apps and Games] :
The accepted way to install sense 8 home beta is to uninstall all of xpirits sense apks, including sense home and then install sense 8, after doing that, I have fb integration working without a separate fb plug in (unlike sense 7)

I have google plus working, again without the need for a sperate plug in (again, unlike sense 7)

But as I can see, there is obviously not one rule to get this working correctly, right or wrong, I've followed accepted procedure, things that don't work for me, work for some of you......

With regard to other apps, I can only report here what works and what doesn't work, I did stress that IN MY Experience, other apps don't work and won't install, whether that's because I run a custom ROM or a Motorola, who knows?
[Android Apps and Games] ichigo_kurosaki:
Ok guys thank you for your feedbacks. :) i will try to remove all the plugins from sense 7. I am so loving sense 8. Much lighter and faster than 7. And i found a nice theme.
[Android Apps and Games] amirarsyad97:
Kinda no to me. Even the freestyle layout cannot compare with blinkfeed in sense 7. In sense 8, you need to install seperate app just to get the news.

Well, i dont use blinkfeed much. Nova is so much better for me. Still, I like to try something new thats why I go for sense 8.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] xharoonx:
This is the apk which I downloaded from apk mirror and it is working like a charm I didn't un installed apks from this post and my device is m7
[Android Apps and Games] drsparsh:
Is dere any other news feed app we can use apart from news Republic in blinkfeed. I dont like news republic
[Android Apps and Games] geovass:
Are there any gestures available with that app?
[Android Apps and Games] :
[quote name="ivan39" post=67570727]I've not found a way, if anyone knows or can advise I would appreciate it :)

If yours is rooted, you can try the old file that I made. I'm using this one as temporary plugin for now as I don't have time to make a new one yet (maybe after long holiday)

Maybe you want to try "Watchup" ?

Try these suggestions, they were made in this thread a few pages back. Its amazing what you find if you look.......
[Android Apps and Games] gortys:
I juste reinstalled a CM13 nightly on my HTC One M9 as I dream for so long to have an HTC Sense interface as light as a Cyanogenmod rom. My smartphone began to reinstall the HTC Sense home and HTC apps directly from the play store when restoring my phone (seems like they are already ok for AOSP roms, I could install the camera app, gallery app, sense home, theme app, ... etc). Every one of these apps is working fine, even Camera, perfect to replace the CM camera app.

But, the app crashes often. I often have the message "Sense Home has stopped working" and I can't get it stable. I tried with Sense home from play store and with several apk version I found on apk mirror but every single version I'm installing gives the same result.

Does someone have an idea on which solution I could try to get it working?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Oleg52:
Are you installing sense home 8? Try to put sense home apk to sytem/priv-app from /data/app/com.htc.launcher and copy apk file to sdcard, then fully inunstall htc sense home, and put your apk file to priv-app and reboot your phone. It must help you
[Android Apps and Games] gortys:
Okay, great!! It's already better like this. Still had this message one time but I can do some things I couldn't before. Yeah, it's Sense 8, directly and automatically downloaded from PlayStore when restoring my phone after installing CM13.

Still one question then. Do I have to do this for every HTC application I can't use? I mean, file explorer and camera app (for example) are working great but when I install HTC clock, I can't find it in widget list using Sense Home.

Thanks for your support and answers :)
[Android Apps and Games] UCFour:
New beta blinkfeed is crap with news republic

Its full of ads and it doesnt update automatically
[Android Apps and Games] :
You are using a different news republic to mine, its fine.

I'm not bombarded with ads, I have mine set to highlights so I have a mix of google plus, news republic, facebook and I now use watch up, which is way better than news republic.
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Has anyone tried the 2 July version? I installed it over the 30 June beta. Still only single clock widget. I'll see how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] kirankp:
is there any noticable difference/improvements in 2nd july version?
[Android Apps and Games] Oleg52:
Have you installed htc service pack from play store? If you have, move apk to sytem/priv-app too, you can download it from apkmirror. Maybe people, that ported CM rom, not fully ported all htc framework, that sense home needs. You don't have to move all htc apps to priv-app, it's your choise. And you asked me about widget, you have't installed weater clock widget, download it here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/htc-weather-clock-widget/ and better move it to sytem/priv-app, it'll help you with widgets. Than reboot and choise any htc widget.
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
A little faster or maybe placebo effect. Now after reboot, unfortunately sense has... But the pop up of which launcher pops up, choose sense and everything ok.

Oh, i know this problem, it's hard to solve it. No matter what's value of dpi. Try this apk

Nah. Changed permission as well. Not loading. Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] steve81uk:
Hi Guy's

I hate being the n00b at times, should know what am doing really, Downlaoded all the APK from the first Post on this thread. as tried the Sense 8.0 and did not likme it. I heard and read that Sense 7 lets you put Facebook and twitter onto the blinkfeed, but whatever i try and do I just cant seem to get the blink feed to add facebook , twitter.. etc.

Any help will do.

thanks guys

Steve
[Android Apps and Games] gortys:
OK, HTC service pack seems to be working fine now. The problem I have now is with clock/weather widget. HTC clock & Weather apps are now working great separatelly, the widget is available but when I add it, it comes to my homescreen correctly but it only displays the message "Problem to load the widget" (something like this, translation from french ;)). It happens with Clock&Weather widgets and Clock widgets, working fine with 'only' weather widget even if I did the same you explained for every htc apps that crashed. FYI, I created a separate folder in priv-app for each of these apps. Is is right or do they need to stay in parent folder?

My last question about the rest is the following : is it possible to apply the htc lock screen on CM rom? PlayStore displays an error while trying to install. Doing the same thing (copy to priv-app) should be enough?

Still many thanks for your help :D :D :D much appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
Problem loading widget is due to lack of widget support in default Sense Home. We need to edit the Sense Home and add in widget support.

Tested 2nd July HTC Sense Home 8.01.780036 with widget support added on Samsung S6 Edge

with other stuff from OP :

HtcServicePack - v1.02.548054

Weather - v7.0.515321

WorldClock - v7.1.510520

HtcWeatherClockWidget - v7.0.497815

HtcLocationServicesSetting - v1.0.481224

LocationPicker - v2.4.474239

Will see what will happen when using the apps from Sense 8.

Willing to spend some time for testing ?
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Give it to me, baby. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Oleg52:
Oh, no. Only copying apk file to priv-app won't help you. Htc lock is attached to many framework files. CM rom may not support this files. If you want, restore to stock htc rom, and you will not have problems with htc apps ;) Yeah, create folders for every app, i forgot, because I'm on kitkat now, and there are no folders in priv-app
[Android Apps and Games] beanbean50:
did u know there's an easy way to get samsung paid themes free on the S6 Edge
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
I heard sense 8 navigation icons on the far side look like they're slipping off a waterfall on phones with edges. :p
[Android Apps and Games] beanbean50:
Ha..!

however, the navigation keys are off screen at the bottom unaffected by themes or whatnot, unless maybe you was joking :p
[Android Apps and Games] ashu01:
By any chance can we get HTC lockscreen and dialer app?

And xpirit is working on sense 8?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I don't know about the lockscreen or dialer, but xpirit posted on here that he had taken time away from this for personal and work reasons, I know he mentioned an initial port of sence 8 but that was months ago.

no one has heard from him since, so can't answer either question.

Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Is anyone having trouble with watch up? Keep getting server error.
[Android Apps and Games] ichigo_kurosaki:
Is there a new open-device beta after the 8.01 build??
[Android Apps and Games] KOLIOSIS:
Just my 2 cents:

As for BlinkFeed, what is in the OP, is much better than the News Republic powered version.

I'm running a DeSensed version of VIPER ROM on my HTC 10 with the BlinkFeed listed here, the best of both worlds.
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
I'm running these sense 7 mods on my nexus 6p,its not rooted.Can sense 8 be added to 6p and if so is there a guide dummies guide ??
[Android Apps and Games] :
There isn't an official dummies guide, but I have sense 8 working fine on my moto e 2nd gen gen.

The "Unofficial official" procedure to update sense on a non HTC device would be to uninstall all the sense 7 apps from this thread. The whole lot, even sense home.

Then install the sense 8 home beta listed from apk mirror.

That procedure worked for me and others.

If you go back a few pages it's discussed in much greater detail than I can provide, the apk is linked too.
[Android Apps and Games] ashu01:
I had HTC sensation and I also used viper Roms.. they are so awesome..

Right now I am using OnePlus 2 and I love HTC sense experience..that's why I was thinking if we can get dialer and lockscreen.. we will get complete HTC sense experience..

There is a working HTC sense 8 launcher for other devices..
[Android Apps and Games] KOLIOSIS:
That would be nice,a complete HTC Experience on a OnePlus device. :good:

Even better for you,you'll have an easier time selecting between the best of Sense 7/8.
[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
Where are the links for sense 8 stuff please

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

So before I start uninstalling all sense 7 stuff from here ,I've downloaded the sense 8 home apk,is that all need

What about blinkfeed and all its plug in's and things like gallery and music apk
[Android Apps and Games] :
Page 519 of this thread, its always better to search yourself rather than get others to do it for you, some people make a big deal of stuff like that here.

This is the ONLY home app you need for a non HTC device, you don't need blinkfeed (there is no blinkfeed in sense 8)

No need for service pack/weather/location ect.

I use news republic (play store) Facebook (no need for plug in)

And google plus (available in this thread as a flashable zip)

You can install any other HTC apps you want, there is another port of sence 8 apps here on XDA, but most of them don't work if you are using this home beta.

Nothing is mandatory with this, you can try as much or as little as you want, I suggest trying apk mirror, but those don't work with this home beta.

[Android Apps and Games] drsparsh:
Dats not beta version
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
You can flash it over the sense 8 Beta. It says 640 dpi so presumably it's supposed to increase the dpi from the beta 480 dpi. My phone screen is QHD 534 ppi. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ckpv5:
That's not Sense Home update but the apk is called Update Sense Home or in ROM it is called LauncherUpdateScreen. You don't need this.
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
Thanks ck, but flashed d. No difference. :p
[Android Apps and Games] ichigo_kurosaki:
I got that update sense home apk. What will that do? I thought it was a flashable sense 8. I installed the apk anyway. But then avast detects it as malware. And btw, i installed the july 2 beta i downloaded yesterday and my initial observation was it was i think heavy. The ui kept restarting when i'm running 2 or more apps. Or is it just me?
[Android Apps and Games] tropical cactus:
I tried the July 2 version. It is slower than the first beta I feel. I'm back on the beta and I flashed the July 15 small update. As pointed out, it's not needed. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ichigo_kurosaki:
"flashed"? Was it a zip? I got this apk on the link. And it gets detected by my avast. Im just curious what that udate apk does. I also felt the july 2 beta was slower. So i guess it's not just me. :)
[Android Apps and Games] chocohagelslagje:
I have searched and searched but couldn't find the answer to my problem. I just installed sense 8 but I don't have any apps in my app drawer only 2 from htc. Edit; just installed sense 7 and have the same issue. Did any one have this issue. I have a note 4 with Marshmallow and checked permissions.

So ok. No biggie bro. Just got me a lil confused for a bit. Thought i downloaded the wrong file. :D so please enlighten me. What does that apk do? Meanwhile i restored my titanium backup of the first sense 8 beta since, like you, i felt that july 2 build was making my phone sluggish. I felt it was eating way more ram than it should as it reloads itself when i minimize 2 or 3 apps. And mind, i am on a custom lollipop rom. 5.0 but the dev claims he already fixed memory leak with his update couple of days ago. :)

How are you all able to install Sense8.. I am always getting App not installed no matter which APK I try to install on my S7 Edge. Any help to resolve this.

Would it be a good idea to update the first post and installation instructions so we dont have to keep linking the sense 8 home beta apk when asked or repeat installation instructions every 4th post?

Just a thought.
