Over the time of using HTC devices. I came to realize I used Blinkfeed for more of a news app than a Homescreen. Needless to say, finding ways of launching Blinkfeed along side another launcher can be tedious or "Rooty" routes. I found several different ways of launching or creating a shortcut for Blinkfeed in many different fassions. From using Nova launcher gesture actions to exposed module SenseToolbox. Im not a fan of rooting my new high class smartphone so i developed an easier method. This application was first designed for the HTCM7, than updated for the M8 and now revamped for the HTC10.
Prism Assistant is an intelligent shortcut to Blinkfeed or Sense Home. It has a combination of shortcuts allowed to the user for whatever they find easier to view their Blinkfeed to their advantage. Now, Sense Home needs to be installed on your device first for this application to work correctly. If your using a aosp or Cyanogenmod based custom rom, the unofficial port of Blinkfeed will work just as good. Prism Assistant will detect if Sense Home is or not installed and take action to help you.
PA allows the following for HTC10 devices
-Blinkfeed launcher shortcut
-Notification Listener shortcut
-Replace Google On Tap with Blinkfeed
You can grab Prism Assistant on Google Play here for a small fee https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NxIndustries.Flip
Or
Free load and grab the apk here and wanna give it a test run first https://www.dropbox.com/s/u4qp6d746i9efii/PA-20.0-release.apk?dl=0
^i will update the dropbox version soon for anyone who doesn't have Google play or XDA Labs
Any comments, suggestions, and feedback welcomed.
Custom rom developers are welcomed to PM me for instructions of how to add Home Assist action provider shortcut to Sense Home if they would like the tweak baked in. Giving credit is the only requirement.
Reserved
One more screenshot...
Bump.
I will be looking into making Prism Assistant a more diverse app soon by giving users a choice to choose what application to set the Home Assistant activity to so its useful to users who also use Blinkfeed.
Have had this app since it 1st came out, Flip, Flick, then Prism Assistant... great work as always

Prism Assistant has recieved one of its final end of life updates this weekend also making the app free to all and ads will appear in the toolbar (very easy to evade) and a minimal material design. Links have been updated and some quirks patched.
Another update will be pushed soon for final patches.
Thankyou for using prism Assistant

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.
There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

They are part of touchwiz which you turned off. If someone was/is able to extract them from touchwiz that would be cool. But its all part of touchwiz launcher. Like htc sense. If anyone has pulled some of those I would like to have a few.

X2. I have an Evo and upon installing Launcher Pro I no longer have the ability to use Sense widgets in LP, but going back to Sense I can use them again.
Lets post up some updates we have found with the Sense 4.2.2 update.
Outside of the primarily known ones like the quick settings here is one great one I noticed.
App: Gallery
Change: Highlights
They revamped the song/style selection for the video highlights as well as added about 5 more. Very very happy with this update as I use this quite often

No, you are able to set (for example) bbc on program 3 if its 3 on your receiver/tv.
On 4.1.2 you are not able to customize the order of the programs
They also fixed the select content issue so stuff that you don't want in your zoe is actually not included anymore

There is already a 4.2.2 update thread. Please discuss that there. Having multiple threads makes forum very hard to follow.

That's because Google Edition ROMS still have the original framework I believe. As in the GE HTC One still has the Sense framework so Sense specific apps will work on GE. Not sure about the s4 version, but it is probably similar. That being said it is probably next to impossible to get the camera to work with a Nexus 5.
Should be able to at least get the gallery working right

Gallery and Camera are a linked application so no camera = no gallery. I had the HTC One prior to this phone. I've been around the mill on the Sense apps.
The framework is now also included in the play store. Most of these apps are compatible with HTC One M8 GPE Edition also.

FYI, someone posted the HTC apk files for blinkfeed (and more) here.
I was able to install it while in Dalvik mode (doesn't install on ART), but when setting as home launcher it gives an error "Device not authorized/not compatible error". I was amazed I was able to get it to install at all (as well as the resource apk under the framework folder in the provided zip).

From my experience I strongly recommend to not use the default oxygen os launcher.
The default launcher has two big problems with it
1) The launcher is extremely slow, when you tap an app icon there is a big delay before the app actually launches. Compare with any launcher on play store
2) The icons are two big for a 5.5 inch screen.
Please use Nova Launcher or google launcher. I use Action Launcher though

Well, I didn't close, shutdown or explode xda servers by giving my slight advice here did I mate .
Ofcourse the OP didn't ask for feedback, that doesnt mean its wrong to help out a fellow one plus two owner, People around can still help OP with the OS Launcher I am not stopping them. I am just giving my 2 piece of advice, to the OP and other OP2 mates Rajat, making them realize what they are missing of the expensive phone we all bought. Wasn't discussing and helping out each other the whole point of having an openly accessible internet and the foundation of XDA Forums. There is a reason why this is not StackOverflow like, question and answer site.
Now coming to the actual topic in discussion, I have a right to defend myself. I am not forcing anyone to use any specific launcher here, I am just Recommending . If you have actually used the Oxygen OS Launcher, you would know Rajat, that its not very well designed and is inherently flawed. It almost takes 2 seconds to launch a app after clicking on the icon. I don't want the many users of OPT to think that their device is at fault here, the launcher is the culprit and it took me 5 months to realize this, I just don't want other people go through the same.
Sorry I have to quote you here :
"Sorry to say but nobody asked feedback which " forum reply should go to which thread. Or is it so that new member can be bullied on XDA, I am just new here Rajat, I dont know how things run around here,
PS: Sorry OP I apologize on behalf of rajat339 and myself for ruining your thread. But you know we gota stand up for our self .

How should we approach this? Do we decompile the apk and go from there, because Launcher3 is the name of the Google Launcher app I think. Here are all the items we need (I hope):
