[Launcher Sense Exclusive] HTC Sapphire UI

[Nx Biotic]

HTC Sense users look for 2 things. An experience to match the beauty and perfection of their HTC ONE or get the closest to a Google Experience without ruining their HTC Sense experience. I've done both... The solution you ask? Ive built a hybrid just for us.

Based off of the AOSP Launcher3 latest revision in kitkat and my private OpenSense SDK, Id like to introduce HTC Sapphire UI for HTC ONE. Sapphire is an exclusive 3rd party launcher designed and built specifically for the architecture of the HTC ONE device lineup and OpenSense SDK offering users an unbelievably smooth and Google/HTC hybrid experience. Sapphire offers users a launcher experience that both meets the expectations of Google fans and Blinkfeed fans as this launcher is binded to both Blinkfeed and Google Now.

I think htc , itself wont like you tampering and putting something on playstore which makes use of htc framework.
they removed htc look alike widgets , dont think this is gonna last long on play store.
or
u planning to just keep it only on these developments forums?

Eh, only reason they'd do that is if i managed to actually make something better which I doubt that be the case

Thats almost like saying were not aloud to have roms out like Insertcoin, Renovate or Vipor Mod

One of 2 things could cuz this as I see InsertCoin users are having the same problem. A feature request has been modified in the rom to the point, Sapphire doesn't understand it or the model ID number doesnt match of what it should be in Google Play to talk back to compatibility list.

I will be investigating this

Ive heard that this process may take a maximum of 30 minutes to register. Keep checking the link =) if all else fails, redo the process.

First quick feedback, not a fan of the app drawer icon but that's literally having just installed it. I'll give it more of a blast and go from there
