How do I move app icons fron one screen to another?
Same question for the google search and clock? How do I move those to another screen. (among the three that are available)?
hold down an icon for a few seconds and then just drag it to another screen
when I hold down on an icon on one screen, I can move it around, but it only allows me to place it on one screen.
When the "move icon" option is on (by holding an icon) I can't switch screens (by swiping finger across screen), since I'm holding the finger on the icon.
What am I doing wrong?
It seems really sensitive, my best results are when I hold the icon down about half way down the screen on the edge of the side I want to move the icon to and wait a second or two.
Myself, I found it easier to delete the icon and recreate it. This is something I think google needs to polish a bit.

Yah, I figured that out (deleting and recreating), but it seems kinda clumsy.
Ok.
Got the hang of it... You really have to get to the edge of the screen for this to work...

1. Do I have to use BlinkFeed? Can I uninstall it?
You absolutely do not have to use it if you don't want to. Just don't add any feeds to it, and it won't do anything. You might be able to hack it out of there, but we wouldn't bother. Just thumb over to the home screen and pretend that BlinkFeed never happened.
(Though we'd recommend giving it a shot. It's not bad.)
2. Wait - there's only one home screen? Can I add more?
Sure! By default there's only one. (Most people don't use more than that anyway.) But you can add as many as five home screen panels. Get to the "Customize home screen" section -- either from the "Personalize" section of the settings or by long-pressing a blank area on a home screen -- and then hit the "add panel" button.
You can then choose which home screen panel to set as the default when you hit the home button, or you can remove unwanted panels.
3. That app drawer seems a little funny. What's up with it?
First off, you're probably not used to seeing a clock and weather widget stuck to the top of the app drawer. But there it is. Start thumbing down and it'll disappear. The next odd thing is that apps are in a large, 3-by-4 configuration. (It'll look like 3-by-3 until you scroll down and get the clock widget to disappear.)
Also: Folders! Just below the clock widget is a line of icons. On the far left is the app drawer view -- you have "Custom," "Alphabetical" or "Most recent." When in custom view, you can drop apps on one another to create folders. If something obvious appears to be missing, change to alphabetical view and find it that way. Also note that if an app is docked at the bottom of the screen, it won't appear in the app drawer.
This all takes a little getting used to.
4. What does the HTC button on the bottom of the phone do?
Not a damn thing, because it's just a logo. Not a button.
5. So how do I get to the list of recent apps? (aka multitasking)
Double-tap the home button and you'll get a 3-by-3 grid of apps that are open. To close an app, just flick it upward with your finger.
6. And what about Google Now?
Hold down the home button on the HTC One to get to Google Now.
7. I miss that iconic HTC clock widget. Can I get it back?
Yep! It's available as a home screen widget. It looks like you have to have the new, sleek widget everywhere else, though.
8. Is there a notification light?
Sure is. It's hidden in the bottom row, on the third hole from the left, in the top speaker.
9. Can I customize the lock screen?
Just like in previous versions of Sense, you can choose whether to have a wallpaper displayed, a "productivity" scheme with notifications and calendar reminders, a photo album view or music player, or you can opt to go with no lock screen at all.
The application shortcuts are slaved to whatever apps you have docked to the bottom of the screens.
10. Are the speakers that good?
For a smartphone, yeah. They're about as good as anything we've used. You'll need to have Beats Audio turned on (and it is by default) to get the full effect. It's not that it'll replace a proper external speaker, but neither will you be embarrassed to play audio out of your phone.

Yes, install a custom launcher.

Why? Whe you can just swipe to your left and make the next screen your home screen.
I think this post should be stickied.

Why do people want to not have it at all? The desire for some to reduce clutter shouldn't be taken lightly.

So, do you (or anyone) by any chance know if the place where the HTC logo located is a "touch screen" area but it's just not mapped to do anything? Or, is it literally not part of the capacitive touch area?
If it is part of the capacitive area, then, do you think it would be possible to somehow configure the area where the logo is located to do something (like multi task)?
this should be a sticky. it will probably stop the creation of unnecessary threads
The HTC logo is nothing more then a logo unfortunately.

Ask some moderators to do it, please.
I already did it, but nobody replied to me.
For me a good info for blinkfeed was:
if you unset blinkfeed as default homescreen, then you cant go to top by pressing any buttons.
Just hit the statusbar and blinktfeed jumps to top.

I second that. Nice work OP :good:
changing quick link icons??
This is a very helpful thread, thank you for that!
I have a question I could not find an answer for, but maybe I am simply too stupid. I am a proud owner of an HTC One since Friday and though this is my fourth HTC device with Sense UI, I am seriously struggling with the four quick launch icons on the bottom (i.e. Phone, SMS, Internet, Camera). On all previous devices I could easily change these icons through drag and drop, but this new beauty is resisting that. I can neither drag a new icon in there, nor can I drag one out, thus deleting it from the list.
I can rearrange them, though...
Anybody and smart ideas?

Did you try doing it while on the 'normal' homescreen? (Not the BlinkFeed one, but the other one)
Yes, tried it all, walked through all the menues as well, no chance. You can drag the icons onto a home screen, but that will copy them, not move them. And if you try to drag an icon from the home screen to the icon bar on the bottom, once you long-press an icon, the icon bar disappears... weird...

Strange, did you try to find a solution in hands-on videos on YouTube?
did not see anything, but if you have a link or an idea, I am happy to listen...

In multitasking view (where you double tap home button), is there a kill-all function like in CM10?

no, there is not. You need to flip each tile (app) away to close it.
Either way, swiping away each tile does nothing. You haven't actually killed the program. The only thing it will do is soothe your OCD.
Just got my Note 3.
Somehow the Home screen moved from position 4 to position 3.
How can I get it back in 4?
Moving up from S II and also have Note 8 but this seems more complicated.
Thanks
Soft menu key, edit page
Thanks that worked but now another problem.
Removed the weather time thing and I got a "No cards" banner.
What does that mean?
How do I get rid of it?
Tried to move the Google Now widget to the home screen, got this framework with dots that I couldn't do anything with and now I have 2 No Cards littering my home screen.
Any way to make the icons 5 across instead of 4?
Thanks in advance.

Delete the widget, then choose the correct size you need/require from widget menu and readd to where you want them.
I was able to remove the No Cards and put in Google now.
But I still can't move any of my app icons to the home page. It looks like there is plenty of room but it snaps them back to the previous page.
Also S-Planner: I tried to install (month view) it to the screen next to the home screen, it defaulted to the last screen and every time I try and move it, it returns to last screen.
I even deleted it and tried again, nothing different.

It won't let you move them to the home page? strange, make sure you are dragging them in fully as sometimes it'll snap them back if you don't.
With the S-Planner widget, again you'll have to resize it for it to sit on the screen you desire.
I was wondering.. can the app button in touchwiz be put in the middle instead of where it is right now (right side)? I always had the button in the middle, whenever I had it anywhere else I ended up moving it so I'm used to it.
Is it possible to place it to the middle or is it stuck in there?

You can't on the S5 - so im guessing the same is true for the Note 4.
If not - the only way would be to use another launcher.

I guess I'll have to get used to the new button placement, but I can't understand why they wouldn't let a user arrange the home screen icons, funny

Pinch the screen with your 2 fingers.

Kind of lost here. If i pinch the screen home screen with both fingers it zoom but wont remove the page or short cuts.
"Touch and hold the page you want to delete" and drag to the "Remove" at the top of the screen.
You can also rearrange the screens the same way.
Manage to find a way around! The problem was that the phone is set on Home feature and this mean it will not allow to delete. I change it to home and app drawer and that fix the issue for me.
Thanks a lot.
