So after using this for a few hours I'm finding the news feeds are very Americanised... I'm getting American football feeds when I want football (soccer for you Americans out there)...
Is it possible to add my own blinkfeed urls in? Ideally I would like something like BBC's news/sport on my blinkfeed... Is this possible?
Thanks

Nevermind, doesn't look like it's possible yet
Quote " Unfortunately, with version 1.0 of HTC BlinkFeed you have to choose content from partners who have things set up with HTC. You cannot add your own custom URL or favorite websites at this time. I imagine we will see a future update that gives you more options, but for now there are plenty to choose from."

I wonder if there's a way to modify blinkfeed to allow custom feeds...not sure how blinkfeed really works. I was thinking something somewhat RSS based...but I don't know

I used to use a sense rom and I remember in the browser you could long press on text and you could drag to select and from there use translate and other features... Now using launcher pro on shadowrom 2.1 and would love that feature... Any ideas?

No ideas, because there aren't any. Sense browser requires Sense framework, which requires Sense ROM.

I've asked this before because I want it too. Apparently this IS impossible, and there is no way to port it without having sense entirely. I wish there was.
So your saying its impossible to have that feature because sense has already done that? Theirs no dev that could make that feature possible without sense? Well then sense is starting to have features over stock android.. how disappointing

And I know the deal with sense not being pick and choose.. But I guess what I meant is their anyone who could write an add on to the browser or even an add on to dolphin or something.. Seems like a pretty decent feature to have

The thing is, the text selection method isn't just in the browser, it's across the entire phone in the sense ports. So it's an integral part of the OS.
I don't even mind the select text in stock android.. I just wish their were other plugins for android browser so we could have translate integrated into the browser. I guess just a wish for gingerbread or the next release. Copy and paste and leaving the browser into translate isn't the worst but it is annoying

I know you can ignore/not use it, but can it be completely uninstalled without rooting etc?

Had a nasty feeling that was going to be answer. Rather like some of the stuff Samsung shoves on their phones & you cannot remove either.
It can't be uninstalled but it can be disabled

Solution: root your phone. Remove.
Just use a different launcher. Only problem is that you won't have access to sense widgets.

Are any of these widgets useful?
Why would you want to get rid of blinkfeed? That things looks so beautiful and way useful. I still don't understand why anybody wants to get rid of it. I think it's great.

I wouldn't go as far as removing/uninstalling Blinkfeed, but I'm curious to what extend this new central piece of Sense can be configured/modified. I just played around with Blinkfeed a couple of minutes in a phone shop. You can configure the sources that are shown on these tiles (like calendar, facebook, twitter, etc) but ...
Can I control how often each tile (is tile the correct word?) is updated? The more frequent the tiles are updated, the more battery is used and more network traffic is generated.
Can I control the placement of the tiles?
Can I control how many tiles are shown? E.g. I would like only a calendar tile and no social network tile or news feed tile.
Regards,
Stefan

Don't add any feed and it won't do anything. Is like it was never there.

It was one of the features I wasn't too keen on but it's turned out to be good for a giggle when I've got nothing else to play with. I scrolled 2 left of my homescreen yesterday to see the headline 'Study warns that sex in space is dangerous.'
I couldn't agree more. For starters the instant you unzip the fly on your suit your dead! Probably not what they were getting at but it was worth a chuckle.

You didn't need to be rooted to remove blinkfeed. Check out Q12 of the HTC One FAQ and you'll see a couple of ways to be able to get rid of it.
The other method, which requires rooting, is to install a custom ROM. I believe some ROMs may still have blinkfeed included though so you'll need to read the first post (at least) of the ROM threads to find out whether it has it or not

It's a nice feature to have, but give us the option to remove/disable it. I hate it when companies force stuff on you.
I see it's there, if I like it I keep it and if I don't I remove it, simple as that. Don't force me to use it.

Yes it is good. I am also using it everyday. I like it. The interface is beautiful however I want more control on the contents and content choices.

Agreed, it will be nice once more content is made available. As it stands, I certainly wouldn't use it as a replacement for Flipboard.

I quite like it, although it did spoil last weekends F1 race for me! Must make sure I stay away from it on race weekends as I'm often unable to watch live!

i really like it! the only drawback, as you already mentioned, is that we cannos choose exactly what we want.. we should be able to input some rss feeds as well.. as example, i'm in portugal and i can't see any information form my country (unless they are on the international news)..
I use it everyday and i love it! Dont use it for Social, i have the apps for that, but at least now, without opening loads of apps to read, i can keep on top of the news and info for the stuff i love! Its great!!!
They need more content by country of i cant see The Journal, etc or any Irish online news apps

Blinkfeed is great, more control would be great and more sources to choose from. Also if it could 'learn' what sources/keywords are used most frequently and show more of them.
Yeah, I didn't think I would like it but it is quite good and looks good also. No good for fb or twitter feeds though ad most of the time the text is cut off and I don't want to go into each part to read a comment. But for news it is a nice thing to have

I hate watching f1 races late. You have to be so careful to not ruin the results for yourself.... Looks like I may have to stay away from my phone even.

But I agree: more control/contents would be very cool!
Right now the content is kind of rubbish.
I don't understand why when I turn highlights on I get sources that I am unable to manually select.
For example, when I use flipboard I read engadget daily. I saw some engadget articles pop up on my blinkfeed but I am unable to add that as a source. Plus the AP highlights for news are kind of crappy. BF will be nice once it becomes more customizable like flipboard.
Is it possible to get app and email in my search results on my phone?
I know apple won their unified search lawsuit a while back but wasn't sure if there were any 'community' driven implementations or 3rd party apps that do this well on android.
Basically, right now I'm using a stock htc one and when I search for fieldrunners I get Web results only. In order to 'find' the app on the phone I need to then go down to the bottom of the results, scroll across the bottom and click 'phone'.
Any way to make this process more simple? I seem to remember it all being integrated back on my HTC hero

Where are you searching, exactly? Google Search with Now enabled certainly pulls up my apps. So does Action Launcher Pro's Quicksearch.
Certainly brings up apps, but not (sigh) emails.

For the moment, i am completely free of any Sense-Apps, except SenseTV. As i really would like to get rid of Sense completely in the near future, i wonder if there's any app that could substitute what SenseTV does at the moment. I really like the idea of browsing the current TV program and just click on the channels name for switchting the TV to it. I know that OtrtA can send custom IR-Codes via URI-Call, so i'd just need some kind of TV Guide that lets me configure a specified action for clicking on the channels (or shows) name. Any ideas?

pardon. I was quite unsure as this is something i thought could be dealed with when it comes to "HTC One specific apps"
Gonna post it into the right one.
I currently use two apps to fully replace the sense TV app.....and together they are miles ahead of the sense TV app. The official TV guide app is amazing for people without a DVR or guide on the TV, and my older version of Smart IR Remote for HTC One is amazing.

afaik, SmartRemote is now only available as a paid version with a pretty high price.
I for myself found a solution that works pretty well. I just made a tasker-scene that contains all the buttons i need (including the channel-logo as button icon) and send the matching IR-Codes via URL to OtrA. Works pretty fine and i can customize everything i need. Some initial setup needed though, but that's absolutely worth it.
