I'm loving my A9, and the HTC Sense launcher seems to do everything cleanly. Is there anything to gain by using another launcher like NOVA?
Launchers like Nova will give you a lot more customability than a stock launcher usually will. If you like how your phone is now they aren't necessary but if you like to tinker with the way your phone looks and behaves it's definitely worth giving a try.
I want my blinkfeed back. Can they do that ?
it's not gone totally but it's being phased out. The phones comes with it but u can only add like 5 content choices. Bad move by HTCMy A9 arrives today. Is Blinkfeed gone?

As of this morning after the update. This is what my BF looks likeIt looks like you can work through News Republic to get more content but it is definitely different.
I also have a Note 5 and XDA has a whole thread on running blinkfeed on any Android phone and I have it up and running quite easily and it works just like the old Blinkfeed. So I have to go to my Note 5 to get good Blinkfeed. How is this even a possibility?
On my Note 5 I had to remove the News Republic app as it caused a conflict. I don't know or if that will help in your case since you are trying it on an actual HTC phoneI've seen the xda article and have tried to install the launcher and apks but it doesn't work
I'm not sure how to install that on my phone.I had been using Nova on my M7, but I've not considered it with my A9. I am really fond of the stock. So far at least.
Additionally, I updated this morning and my blinkfeed is working without an issue.
How to install what?
Nova? Just like any other app.
The update? If there's an update available for you it'll be in Settings -> About -> Software Updates
You don't have to root your phone in order install Nova? Do u have a link for the DL?
not sure you can have blinkfeed with another launcher. it's a part of the HTC stock UI/launcher.
