So I received my x and it looks wonderful. I decided to boot it without a sim and not set my google account to it yet. One thing I noticed that I dislike is the google search bar is on every page, is there a way to remove it ? Also the widgets on the Phone seem to be rather weak when compared to my Motorola xt860 which has a much wider selection and some that are much more useful such as quick contacts which is probably my favorite widget. Also is there a stock weather widget b/c I cannot seem to find one.
There's thousands of widgets on play store. And Nova is a great launcher to replace stock, and you can get rid of the google bar on it.

I did check for similar widgets couldn't really find any that were that close. I will check out Nova, but there is no way for this to be done w/ stock ?
Couldn't find a way to get rid of them either so switched to an alternative launcher as well. Nova is very good, but have recently switched from Nova to the Action Launcher Pro. I'd suggest trying that one out as well.

so i have a few questions about the launcher:
1- its the google now launcher or the aosp launcher(which is the same as the google one but without google now function)?
2- do the icons look blurry like in the first model?
also i would apreciatte a download link for the launcher, thanks
Its not the aosp launcher. Looks like solo launcher. (play store)
Don't know what you mean by blurry icons, but can't see any blurry ones in the app drawer
standard launcher is the "launcher3", a "gnl" without google now option.
icons are sharp in my eyes.
downloadlink for which launcher ??
can someone give me the apk?
This is the link for the GoogleHome launcher. It has the Google now page and "OK Google" hot word detection.

Htc launched a Beta program recently for testing HTC SENSE 8 launcher for NON HTC Devices.
Someone from the beta program uploaded the apk file on apkmirror and luckily it works with our Moto G 2015 (it should work with all non HTC devices above kitkat)
Although it is in beta, it is really smooth and pretty stable.
Bugs(That I found) : Google Now on Tap Force Closes Htc Sense Launcher. Google now on tap can be used from any other app.
Status: Working on Stock optimised and Stock ROM. (Should work with other custom ROMS as well)
If it shows any error in installation:
==> check if unknown sources option is on in settings > security
==> go to Apps > All Apps > select Google Play Services > Clear Cache (And make sure you are on the latest
Google Play Services)
==> go to Apps > All Apps > select Google Play Store > Clear Cache and Force Stop
==> Make sure no other HTC application(HTC Sense 7 apps and widgets) is installed prior to this installation.
Icon Packs from playstore work perfectly. (REQUIRES ROOT)
Go to Themes app and then sign in to your htc account. If not made an account then sign up for a new account
apply any icon pack from the htc theme store.
then select the Icons.apk of your desired icon pack (Links Below) and copy it to : /data/data/com.htc.launcher/files/.htc_theme/
Replace existing Icons.apk if asked.
Go to settings > Apps > Htc Sense > force stop.
the icon packs will be applied.
I am providing icon packs(free) from playstore which are modified to work with htc sense launcher.
If you want to convert any other icon pack to make it compatible with sense launcher then below is the icon pack converter made by @BBs19 all credit goes to him/her.
Iconpack to Sense 7 Converter
How to use:
1. Download the .apk file of your iconpack. (You can use http://apk-dl.com/ if the iconpack is free)
2. Run IconPackConverter.exe
3. Select your .apk file.
4. Wait for the process to complete. You can see the current status on the top left corner of your screen.
After successfully converting your icon pack, you can follow the displayed instructions to apply the iconpack.
Requirements:
- Java 7 (JRE 1.7)
- Root (for applying the iconpack on your phone)
#How to Apply iconpacks [Root Required]#
1. Copy the converted Icons.apk to: /data/data/com.htc.launcher/files/.htc_theme/

Hmm, I tried it also (it's on APKMirror). IMHO nothing special.
And BTW most of the themes in the HTC theme store are stolen. Since HTC does nothing against it, I wouldn't support that anyway.

well I'm not saying to apply the themes from htc store, one can create his/her own theme. the icon packs provided are also freely available on playstore. And liking the launcher or not is just personal preference. For me this is miles better than nova, apex, touchwiz, google now etc. there are people like me who like it a lot so I posted this for them. The freestyle theming capabilities are amazing and the launcher itself is rock solid.
And I posted the APKmirror link with mentioning them
I am all for options, but the strength of Sense on an HTC device was how well integrated it was with other apps and widgets from HTC, since those are not part of this, this is just another generic launcher that falls well behind Nova, Apex, Smart, etc.

Blinkfeed and weather widget is inbuilt, and well implemented.
I personally like pixel sharp images/display output, unfortunately moto G 2015 does not have such great pixel density, the other launchers render the icons very badly, Nova is the worst even GNL is mediocre .... HTC sense launcher has the best, sharp pixel rendering of the icons at least on the 720p displays... added bonus is the playstore icon packs with little modification and root. Launch animations are quick and overall the launcher is pretty stable.

I'm not going to argue with you as this is all opinion based... I was an HTC fanboy for a long time, and a fan of Sense, but I will leave it with HTC products. Nova is arguably the best launcher out there, and that isn't just my opinion, 10 million plus downloads and over 1 million paid (Prime) users would probably argue with you as well.
Again, Android's strength is in options and customizations, so I welcome it just probably won't use it.

you are getting me all wrong here, I'm not intending to start an argument with anyone, nor am I arguing. I was just expressing my opinion that is why I started my post with "I" . I said "I" don't like how icons are rendered in NOVA, that being the only reason I hate Nova and it is "My" opinion. Never did I mention that everyone likes HTC or everyone should like HTC ..... maybe I posted the thread in wrong forum title, maybe non of the moto G 2015 users likes Htc and maybe I should have posted this under general android as I didn't find any thread on this topic. But what I can say is people like sense home as well and the proof of this is the development thread by xpirt who ported htc sense 6 & 7 and is in the process of porting sense 8. I got excited and thought it might be useful to someone
What I don't understand is I just shared a launcher apk file, and the process on how to install and if any error occurs how to solve that. Why am I getting "slightly" negative feedback and opinions that this launcher is "meh" and others are better? I acknowledge there are better launchers and this is a personal preference. I did not create the launcher, I just liked it and thought it might be useful to someone. That's it. So much for my first thread other than Q&A..........
Pretty sure your thread is safe...
More options is good, period, because everyone has different taste, wants, and needs... And although I hope people value my opinion, I hope they don't take it as gospel and they try it themselves and make their own decisions.
More people should branch out and try things and share them with the community, I commend you for that. Thanks for sharing.

Same right here. I'm using stock Kitkat on my Lenovo A5000. Anyway, the launcher works perfectly, although my phone only has 1 GB RAM.

Icons do not get applied
Icons do not get applied . Followed all the steps mentioned to apply polycon icons but not working on cm14.1 Resurrection Remix ROM.
Installed FaceBook Messenger Lite apk from apkmirror on LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.1) on Xiaomi MI5 Pro device (rooted).
Tried Messenger Lite apk version 4.1.x and 5.0.x.
Installs fine, runs fine upon upon initial install if select "Open" at end of apk install.
However there is no icon on the launcher screens, no icon in app drawer, and no widgets available. So no way to re-launch the app once you close it after initial install.
The only place the app appears in under Settings - Apps.
Uninstall works fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
My friend try quickshortcutmaker apk. Search google to find it. Open the app and search the messenger lite app in it and afterwards choose to make a shortcut. I have used this app in lg phones where I have had same problem with some apps...
Have you tried checking the launcher's widgets/shortcuts option?
@flxas - thank you! Quickshortcutmaker appears to have done the trick!
@Yehhhhhh - thanks for you help too, but every other apk I have ever installed has added an icon to my launcher, so I don't think that the issue is caused by trebuchet launcher settings.
Turns out the Messenger Lite app was in my app tray after all. I found it under "L" for "Lite" in the app drawer, but under "Messenger Lite" in Settings - Apps..
If you install the Facebook Lite apk, it ends up under "L" for "Lite" in the app drawer and also under Settings - Apps.
I’ve just bought a honor play, upgraded to EMUI pie 9
I would like to CHANGE the deafult LAUNCHER in honor play,
with something like pixel 3 launcher with badges/DOTS,
I really hate having all the apps being spread around the desktop, without any drawer to be opened to fit them all...
BUT
1) I tried rootless Launcher.
The EMUI system blocks the apps, saying it is behaving incorrectly and must be removed (it is not even possible to open it)
2) tried ADW+ ADW plug in.
The dots are NOT shown. I try to open the plugin to configure the apps with dots, but it doesn’t open.
4) tried Poco launcher
The dots are NOT shown
5) tried Nova launcher,
I’m doubting to by the pro version (with dots) fearing that Nova too will not be capable of using dots as all the others.
Does anyone of you succeeded in installing another launcher with DOTS/badges ?
Which one and how ??
I read that Huawei/honor blocked for Chinese market the possibility to change the launcher.
Did they now lock also the EU smartphones ?
In this situation the smartphone seem so limited....
Thanks in advance
Dots and badges etc work fine in Nova premium.
Nova premium works just fine
Nova Launcher Prime works fine for me as well.
Another plus for Nova Prime here. Using the dots myself. Think you need the Tesla Unread add on downloaded for it to work too.

Hi all,
I puchased the Nova Pro, and found badge working (with count number)
Sideloading googleNow apk, the google home page (right swipe) works too.
BUT
I found that TABS are NOT WORKING in main drawer.
Did I do something wrong, or is a Honor EMUI bug ?
Created the tabs, enabled the tab bar, but no tab is displayed.

Should I open a new thread for this problem ?
BR
You have made folders, but do you have tabs?
