Install a launcher and forget about it
Blinkfeed 'can't be removed' and Sense also has issues.
Nova launcher works particularly well on the One imo.

Doesn't the nova launcher drain higher amount of battery?? Since htc sense is still running in the background?

First,
you're in the wrong section theres a question and answer section for things like these.
I dont know what version of Sense you're running. But the one i run which is 3.5 on Runnymede and it does offer a way to add a panel but only if you have less than 7 set up
So as far as im aware you cant add more.
Same goes for any launchers i'm aware they have 7 or less screens.
But anyway damn, to use all 7 and fill them all up I find very hard, unless you're using larger than 1x1 widgets
lol
well sorry for wrong section...anyway It's not that difficoult to fill 7 pages just use 7full page widget are you are there ( news, mail, bookmarks meteo ecc..). It's like you just have 7 tabs on the old manila ( still rocking for me ).
I really would like to see this happen, havig more pages can give chance to add more widgets which make sense considering that htc alone bring 70 widgets !

Hey,
smeddy's right about sense widgets, they wont work with any 3rd party launcher,
there's still a few options for sense styled widgets tho, might not sound ideal at 1st but some give you more options to customise than sense does.
free
go widgets with the transparency pack:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.gowidget.transparency&hl=en
fancy widgets:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets&hl=en
paid
beautiful widgets & pure widgets
im sure there's more, these are the ones i know of

Hey,
No, you will have to make a choice between having more than 7 screens, or using the original sense widgets.
if ur priority is more than 7 home screens then Go Launcher is the only option (afaik), the apps i listed in the prev post are examples of sense styled widgets that you can use with Go Launcher.
so for example, using GO, you can use fancy widget to replace the sense clock,
use Go twitter, people, facebook or calander widgets to replace the equivalent sense widgets, this is how you can have more screens.
but if you cant do without the original sense widgets, you will be limited to 7 screens, hope this clears things up 4 u
My advice (for what its worth) would be just try it, if you dont like it, uninstall it, nothing lost!
il even get you started, here's the latest beta 2.62 its a bit quicker than the current market version (2.61), then search go widgets & go widget theme transparency in the market

I'll try it but I'm a sense addicted and my goal was to have more than 7 pages with sense !!!
It's a nice phone but I'm a themer at heart so I would be too tempted to put Nova or something on this phone the day I got it so I could install custom icons and layouts etc. Do you think a 3rd party launcher would cause lag issues on top of Sense 5? I suppose it would also make the blinkfeed screen disappear as well?

Putting Nova will get rid of Blinkfeed.
As for lag? I don't think so.

On that note, would blinkfeed still run using CPU/battery/RAM in the background if I were to install a 3rd party launcher?
Won't know till you really try it. I use Nova on my s3 and it lags ever so slightly. I can't stand touchwiz, so just deal with it.
There are many options we have though. If not feeling blinkfeed, just move it to a different screen and don't update it, problem solved for sense.

Disable all feeds and it won't do a thing.
I suppose you could always wait until the phone gets cm10. Sense 5 and blinkfeed won't even be on the phone anymore using up your ram.
Running Apex or Nova on this phone will hinder it just like wings hinder birds.
I use Nova on my S3 and no lag at all times (AOSP ROM) but when I get the HTC One ill just leave it as it is for now
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
If you're rooted, then just install Nova, go to /system/app and change the Launcher.apk to Launcher.apk.bak and reboot. Or delete it completely. Or use Titanium, back it up and delete it.
I guess I should have specified, I meant how they'd perform on the One without root on the phone as-is
I don't see a way to do so on the one....maybe i'm missing something. Does anyone know?

HTC Launcher doesn't let you do that, you will need a 3rd party launcher.
I downloaded Nova Launcher from the Play Store. it will allow you to resize widgets
It depends on the widget but with the stock launcher when I added my calendar widget, I just held my finger on it, a blue border appeared and I stretched it to fill one of my screens.
Some widgets don't allow resizing by default and you need another launcher but ones like the calendar do.
Thank You Everyone
That kind of bums me out a bit... don't get me wrong i love some other launchers and stuff but i kind of like having my blinkfeed etc and keeping my phone like it currently is, just wish this was a function built in.....
Sup everyone? Is there a way to get the wallpaper to scroll across the different home screens? Is a mod needed? I used a 3rd party launcher (ApexPro) and it doesn't scroll either. All my HD wallpapers are cropped into tiny columns
atm i don't see any mod about this.
However, you can use another launcher like nova if you want this

Hello all- I recently watched a review of this phone and the reviewer showed that it was not possible to add widgets to the home screen of this phone while using an alternate launcher such as Nova, Apex, etc...
Is this true ? I am just looking for verification before I consider getting one of these.
Cheers, LL13- :good: :good:
Not true. I used Nova Launcher Prime and i can add widgets as i please.
You may not be able to add lenovo widgets unless u are using VibeUI's launcher. But all other widgets are working fine.

OK, Thank You alexkit....
The guy in the video must have had an issue with his phone. He was using Nova launcher and every time he tried to add a widget to his home screen he got a force close.
One more question if you dont mind !! (actually 2 questions LOL)
How are the selection of themes ? Can you customize themes like using icons from in another theme, etc... ?
Cheers, LL13- :good: :good: :good:
As per FeyoMX @ http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/...n-esto-te-interesa.99919/page-28#post-1058348
You need to copy the launcher directory into /system/priv-app/
And reboot.
Try this

I've found that on some ROMs if you don't add a widget with the stock launcher at least once it won't allow you to add a widget with Nova, if nova doesn't allow you to add widget switch back to the stock launcher for a second and add one, then switch back, see if that sorts it!
