Can your phone still receive text messages? If so, have someone text you a link to Sense Home in the Google Play Store and uninstall and reinstall the updates to it.
Edit: Or if you don't have any friends with HTC devices, have them text you the link to another launcher (like Nova Launcher) and you should be able to navigate to the Play Store on your own from there.
And if there's any chance you can open links from a reddit app notification, here is the link to Sense Home.
This app right? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.launcher&hl=en
Thank you very much for this info :) I'll just turn the Home Widget off and enjoy Blinkfeed when i get a new non HTC phone. This is fantastic.
HTC has a launcher called HTC Sense Home, which makes use of "Themes"
If that isn't the one, then you can try downloading a stock image /ROM based on Stock and pulling the launcher apk from there.
I don't have an M8, so I can't give any better information
No, I got the OTA first. I noticed the new lock screen after the 310MB update from Sprint had installed and rebooted itself.
I only went to the play store when I noticed the lock screen reverted back to the old one (6.5.858520). If it wasn't for seeing the posts in /r/htc and /r/htcone, I probably would have forgot all about the new lock screen.
Very strange. I also had to go to the Play Store and update HTC Sense Home to see the new app launcher people were talking about.
Actually, Sense Home is on the Play Store, it's just limited to HTC devices.
Well, there's the official one - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.launcher but if I find anything with more details, I'll let you know.
No, I already had 5.0.1 and it still works flawlessly.
This is the app I'm talking about:
