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...
I should have put a '?' in the title, but I can't edit it.
I want to drag something from the middle homescreen to one of the side screens but don't have any luck.
Any tips?

Try dragging it to the very edge and holding it there.
or if that doesn't work (mine is very picky at times). Delete the short cut from the middle screen. Slide to the screen you want it on, open the app drawer, select and drop on the screen.

It worked, thanks. Just found out I have 5 home screens on Super-D.
I've also noticed that if I can't drag an icon or widget to another screen in portrait mode, I am usually successful by switching to landscape mode. For some reason it makes moving icons and widgets a lot easier.
I just received my A7 from and powered it up. There are no icons on any screen. Is this something I should just ignore and do the Dexter Mod? I haven't received the micro sd card that I have ordered yet so I'm about to make a trip to a local big box store to pick on up so I can do the Dexter Mod. Any advice is welcomed.
This post is over a week old, so I'm guessing you may have figured out the answers to your questions. However, in case you haven't...
The screens on your elocity are blank so that you can customize them to your liking. In order to see the icons for the applications and settings installed on the device, navigate to the home screen by tapping the picture of the house to the right of the screen. This is the default screen, and the third of the five available (two screens to the left and two more to the right). From the home screen, tap the largest button on the far right with the square of dots on it (between the picture and globe icons). This will bring you to the applications screen.
As far as updating your device with the latest firmware or custom ROM, you'll need to wait until you receive your MicroSD card to do any of that. Once you do receive it, I would recommend using Dexter's most recent MOD. He's done some great work to make our a7s even better.
Hope this helps...if not you, maybe someone else.
Once you open the app drawer (by tapping the house looking icon), find the app you want to add to the screen and tap and hold it. This will allow you to drag it to where you ant it.
Repeat for each screen you want to add apps to.

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.
RE: Can I get rid of blinkfeed....
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...

I'll try it, no results guaranteed though
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.
I keep my screen blank and it always shows "Touch and hold the screen to add more apps or widgets". I like it blank but this line never goes away. This feature is copied from Samsung where it shows the first time and goes away after you drop a widget and remove it. Is there an alternative. Help me. Thanks in advance.

I use to use an app called elixer by Tamás Barta that would allow you to create widgets that were completely transparent. That should solve your problem.
