Can anyone recommend a replacement app for the news and social media aggregator BlinkFeed that was on my HTC One? I loved that feature and haven't been able to find anything quite like it. It had a scrollable list of tiles that had articles from the web on configured topics and littered in random posts from my twitter and facebook feeds as well. I saw flipboard recommended but its not the same. It looks like more of a magazine flipping through individual articles and doesn't integrate social media. I like the stock Nexus UI and don't want to have to root and install the BlinkFeed launcher. I just want something like the news aggregator that was in it when you scrolled to the far left screen.

You can have the best of both worlds without rooting your device:

I have it installed on every device I get my hands on,one of the 1st things I load up.
If you like the stock Nexus U/I Launcher,you can still use both,there are apps in the Google Play Store that allow for making shortcuts,or easy switching back & forth between the stock launcher & Blinkfeed.
If you're open to using a launcher such as Apex or Nova,shortcuts are even easier/more seamless/cleaner looking than using the stock launcher & shortcut apps.
