About this APK

HTC Sense Home is an app by HTC Corporation in the News & Magazines category, listed since at least April 2014. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

HTC Sense Home APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is HTC Sense Home free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the HTC Sense Home APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is eeb0745b195017792678fd246a4bdd9f.
