Being an HTC user for over 2 years I feel quite comfortable with HTC's Sense Home. It's minimal, fast, fluid and I can surely say that it is among the best manufacturer skins you can ever get on an android device.
One of the most central features of Sense is its Blinkfeed launcher, which adds an home screen page that gives you quick access to your favorite RSS feeds, news outlets, and social media streams. If you've used Samsung's Touchwiz Home Screen App or the Google Now Launcher, think of this like My Magazine or Google Now, but with more features and customizations. The customisations not only let you select the type of news/articles you want but also gives you glimpses of your Social Media like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and even Instagram!
So in this tutorial I will show you how to side-load or install HTC's Sense UI on your android device.
Requirements:
1) An android device (Of course :P ) running android version 4.4 Kitkat or higher.
2)These files-
HTC BlinkfeedHTC Service PackWeather WidgetWorld Clock WidgetFacebook Plugin (Optional)Google Plus Plugin (Optional)Instagram Plugin(Optional)Twitter Plugin(Optional)
Before installing them please make sure that installing via unknown sources is enabled on your device. Go to your device's Settings> Security> Make sure that Installing from Unknown Sources is selected.
Now after checking that, go to your downloaded location of the files, and open and install Blinkfeed.apk
After installing that now install HTC Service Pack
Now install the Weather Widget and the World Clock app.
Optional Part-
If you also want to install the social plugins just follow these steps.
Go to your Downloads Folder or where ever you'd downloaded the optional apks
and Install the desired file like you did above.
(Note: For the Plugins to work, you also need to have the stock app installed, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, G+)
How to Enable the Plugins:
To enable the plugins, swipe left to reach in the Blinkfeed screen.
Now swipe left from the edge of your screen
now click on the More Options button, the one on the right of Add Button (+) and select Services & Apps
