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.
