HTC Flip for Kitkat (Sense 5.5)

Rgocal talks HTC Flip for KK on G+ https://plus.google.com/100201209156317802250/posts/jPk5NSMxCit
HTC Flip is an application of an idea Ive had for Sense users to easily "Flip" or switch from one launcher to another. In another words...Your using Aviate launcher or a custom themed Nova Launcher setup but you wanna check out your Blinkfeed on Sense5 really quick or switch back to Sense4 quickly for something. HTC Flip will allow you todo just that. Simply as it stands, its currently only a home manager for Sense but with a little effort, I could add a few extra tweaks in there without the need of Root priviledges.
Simple use of the app...Install, Launch, Pick a Launcher you want to switch to..., done. Press Home on your device to simply "Flip" back to your default Launcher.
Currently in order to switch back to Blinkfeed, these would be your options...
Create a custom Widget with Buzz Custom Widget linked to the Sense5 Launcher Activity
Create a custom shortcut using an advance launcher (for EX: Xperia Raral Launcher allows custom activity shortcuts)
Clear your defaults
Exposed Framework (Root)
HTC FLIP does not currently support Kitkat, Flip for KK is your substitute and pro version
Thats a marvelous idea because in a third party launcher you can use pop up widget if you had access to the app in question to one click access it. I personally only use Sense because I love the Sense music widget and app because it has the gracenotes connected. It would be awesome to be able to access all of sense's apps from a third party launcher! Everybody would buy that

Heres a guide that shows how to get a shortcut on the third party launcher from Sense activities like blinkfeed
Using a third party launcher such as ADW, Nova, or Apex provides much more customization than Sense 5, but since Blinkfeed is part of the Sense 5 launcher, you will immediately lose Blinkfeed.
To get access to Blinkfeed with one of these launchers, follow these steps:
1. Clear the defaults of the current default homescreen launcher. This is done under SETTINGS/APPS. Click on the default launcher. Scroll down and find the clear defaults button. Click it.
2. Press the home key. You should now have a choice of which launcher to use. Select HTC Sense.
Click "One Time Only".
3. Delete all home screens except blink feed. Clear the apps out of the dock. (Optionally you can keep the homescreens and icons in the dock if you wish, deleting them makes a clean Blinkfeed only setup that I prefer).
4. Press Home. This time choose you preferred launcher and tap Always. This should take you to your home screen under the new launcher.
5. Create a custom shortcut. In most launchers you long press the homescreen and choose add or add shortcut. When asked to what you want to create a shortcut you will be choosing an Activity, not an App. In the list of activities, scroll down to HTC Sense. Click it. Choose HTC sense (Launcher) or HTC Sense com.htc.Launcher.Launcher depending on which launcher you are using.
6. You now have a shortcut icon that will take you to Blinkfeed. Clicking the icon will open Blinkfeed. Clicking home again returns you to your preferred launcher homescreen.
That's it!
Variations on above include setting the HTC Sense launcher as the default so that hitting home opens blinkfeed, while another icon is created to your preferred launcher.

MoDaCo Toolkit has a similar option that exposes a link to the Sense Launcher.

I was thinking of trying that out but I don't think it works on cdma roms like sprint and it appears to only use the stock roms that are sense based gsm

Sounds like an ActionProvider right to the sense launcher. Similar to what I want to pull off.

I just tried it and it gives you the blinkfeed app in the app drawer to use as a shortcut basically.

I perfer my ONE not rooted myself. I perfer to use it for what it was made for, not to ruin it. "Been drooling over the MIUI rom tho, but not the point"
Il start development for this after I wrap things up over at the Razr forums. Rom developing takes it out of you as well as my toolkit. "Links below in sig"

Yes, on Sprint
Nice another dev for Sprint, theres a few making good roms and theming but we could badly use more
First look at an early build of HTC Flip. Basing it off of a Home Manager like user interface and integrating the Sense SDK into it. Looking into adding more shortcuts for the Sense Launcher and Blinkfeed as Launcher Shortcuts. Basically at the moment, It works by the user clicking on the app and selecting blinkfeed when they want to view it while useing another launcher like Apex or ADW. They can also manage their installed launchers. Nothing complicated, Nothing requiring root, something simple and small.

First of all, has anyone tried Laucherpro Plus? It has a ton of widgets that are built specifically to be similar to the Sense widgets (e.g., message widgets, mail widgets, calendar widgets, etc.). It's $2.99, basically if you dl Launcherpro from the Market you can upgrade to it.

Secondly, there are many widgets out there that replicate the Sense widgets. Someone mentioned Beautiful Widgets, which serves the same purpose but doesn't look the same. Do some digging on the forums and you'll find Fancy Widget. It was taken off the Market by HTC because it looks exactly like the Clock/Weather Sense widget.

Thirdly, the launcher dock for Sense acts like the launcher dock for Sense. Sense is the Launcher setup, which includes specific widgets, the same way that Launcherpro has its own widgets. Think of the launcher as the controlling aspect of the operating system; it defines what you can and cannot use in terms of shortcuts, folders, and widgets. So in short, no ... but you certainly can make one look a whole lot like the other. It just takes some work.
And yes Fancy Widget looks exactly like the sense weather clock, and works great, I have been using it on the LP for a couple of months now and no issues, Google it you will find it still in a couple of forum and you can scan and download it. I would post it here but I believe it is against the forum rules, so if you don't find it PM me and I will get it to you
I was wondering if there was a way to change the number of screens on the Droid 3's motoblur. I noticed the welcome video had 7 screens and that sounds perfect to me. Also, does motoblur no longer have profiles? I'd love a work/home profile for apps.
-cm
It's not Motoblur, whats on this Droid!
More homescreens means another installing launcher I think...
I would also like to figure this out, I only want 3 screens, 5 its more than I need
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I prefer one screen myself, with my most used apps nearest the bottom + the dock buttons. I use Launcher Pro for that. Launcher pro also allows me to hide over 30 stock apps that I don't want to see. LP will allow for up to 7 screens.

I'd love to agree with it not being Blur, but if you go to the Files app, Internal Storage->Android->data, and scroll down the list, one of the folders is for an app named 'com.motorola.blur.home'... hmm... I wonder what that could be It seems Motorola themselves just wants to move away from the name, but they can't seem to update their apps to reflect that
I was running 1 screen for a while on my OG, and loved that set up, but I'm using more widgets now than I was then. And until I can use that sweet quick contacts widget in LP, I'm stuck with the blur.

Is it possible to make the dock invisible?
Maybe with a flashable zip or something?
I am at Trick Droid 5.4.0.
Can anybody help me?
I would like to learn how to do it on my own.

No I mean invisible. The dock should be gone. I don't want to have the apps everywhere because I like minimal homescreens which can achieved with apex or something. But I also like blink feed so I would love the option to disable the dock in the sense launcher.

Is it possible, on the stock launcher, to change the number of homescreens? I have no use for 5, I normally only have 2 or 3. Can I delete some? The old pinch-to-edit function doesn't seem to work (maybe that's a TouchWiz feature). I know you can use Nova/Apex/etc. to do this, but I'd really rather stay with the stock setup for now. Anyone know a hidden trick?
Not that I know of. You should check out Nova launcher. They have a great beta version that keeps the transparent top and bottom bar and lots of features.

Maybe try your menu button, look in your setting for launcher preferences, and or hold the screen down on the homescreen. If not, perhaps try a new launcher.
You can't with the stock launcher. Download the launcher from Nexus 5 aka GEL launcher, there you can just have the number of screens you need. Can also use various third party launchers which does this. Nova is my favorite among the third party ones.

Nope that's why I use nova. It even has settings for kit kat that makes it look like GEL.

I recently found action launcher which I really like. It's very functional and more minimalistic than most other launchers. If that's what your in to. There is a free version. Give it a try.

I stick to Sense. I don't know what it is, but every time I try and switch off of it, I always end up coming back. Even though they change it with every new flagship, I still stick with it. I've used Aviate, and while it's nice, it's just not for me.
I'm on sense right now, using xposed framework and sense 5 toolbox to get a 4.5 home screen. However, I also frequent nova launcher. It just depends on my mood, and I have them both installed pretty much all the time.
I like Trebuchet from AOSP

I like Go Launcher for its customization but I really love Nova Launcher. Love it so much I purchased prime. Its really fast and has a fair amount of customization. It also never crashes or gives me any problems. It's nice that a lot of the icon packs work on it as well.

SS Launcher Paid version
I stumbled on SS launcher a couple of years ago when I still had the "EVO 4G". I have not looked back since, it is more flexible than any other I've tried. And I always get comments on it.
Check out Lightning Launcher on the play store.

Big +1 for Action Launcher. It has a free trial(!) now, even, so there really isn't an excuse to at least give it a whack. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it you can handle its paradigm it works really well. Aviate's also good, but the inability to hide apps (among other things) really killed it for me.
Agreed

I personally use Nova Launcher Prime also, it's never let me down. An customization for the drawer and home screen is cool. Being able to pull app info and uninstall on the home screen is a huge helper at times.
I like Nova as well
