No Android Fanboys Please !!!
the idea and version one is great, but it's too buggy for me (am i getting old?):
- i miss five quicklinks on the main homescreen
- to place the widgets symmetric on the homescreens is difficult
- gestures with the homebutton don't work well
- why use the widgets only once on the three homescreens?
thanks maxy for the hard work, i'm looking forward to next versions!!!

you can get 3 quicklinks on the home screen

qtc files (manila) but every widget can have a custom background and that can be a .png .

Thanks for the fast response..As this is cooked into roms (currently downloading NRG rom) is there any way to know which manila files are used, im assuming mostly new files..there for it will take ages to examine each file?

dude i gotta say ESPECIALLY for a first release this mod is awesome and fairly stable, here are some things i picked up on when using energy rom maxsense with i think would be good to look into :)

-you cant have the same wiget on two different pages, it will only stay on one page

-when going from normal sense objects back to max sense the transition between wm 6.5.x can have a bit of lag sometimes

-can you fit in more quick link wigets? we have 3, would it be possible to have say 9? 3 for each screen

-possibly make the task bar and bottom bar with the home icon slightly transparent when on sense tabs

well done on this release real good!

i just thought of some thing else that would be extremely cool, make sliding react more like android, so that we can have the 3 home screens in the middle and then when we slide left or right from the last home screen we open manila tabs

Im sorry, but i don't like the bevel around the panels and buttons.


You can change all of that in the settings, no background, default, or custom so try it out and if you have it on your device already give it a chance by playing with it..........there will be mods like crazy for this just wait and see

Awesome Mod!!

I absolutely love this project! Incredible stability, speed and functionality for the first release! So far for me it has been error free and delivered everything promised! This is already good enough to be my everyday UI! Thanks for your effort!

I really have no negative feedback. Some of the features others have mentioned for future releases sound like they would further enhance the usability and I can't wait to see the progression of this project!

If I may ask if the Contacts Widget should do anything more then just flip through? I guess I could change my Favorite Contacts to some nice ladys. Would offer a nice flip album. Just kidding. We just realized its not acctualy calling the contact wenn clicking on it.

Ah as mentioned below staying on it for a little while and let go will bring up the Contact information. Thanks for the hint, needed that.

I can't even remember how long I've waited this and seriously this is a good stuff! thanks and congrats to Maxycy!

Not sure if this is suggested before, but I guess it's better if the amount of quicklinks can be adjusted, as in not just 5x5, but 4x4,3x3, etc, or even random multiplication. Just a suggestion, maybe because 5x5 seems 'flooooood' my vision. :D

Good job again!

How to dial contact...

You have to hold it down for a bit, then it open the contact info. Took me a while to figure that out....

I love:
The cool sliding features.
The quicklinks.
The complete customization.
Almost everything I've tried.

I don't love:
Using NRG's ROM at least, on my TP2, having some issues with landscape and SMS screens.

Pretty dang good, awesome work guys. Just a couple more kinks to work out and I'll even throw a donation out there.

    Who wants the MaxSense Cab?

    I think its safe to say that development is DEAD for MaxSense... I haven't heard from Max in Months and figured there was no point in safeguarding the cab anymore...

    Hope Everyone Enjoys........ :D

    MaxSense Unleashed (POCKETNOW REVIEW)

    promo.jpg


    Introduction
    If you are from outer space and wonders what MaxSense is all about, then please take some time to read through this.

    This has taken a while longer than planned as I lack the free time that I used to have. Due to this, MaxSense will only be released in ROMs and there is no cab for it. This is to avoid answering questions all the time and give myself time to make further improvements. If you are a cook and intend to flash this to your ROM, you can contact me on my mail maxyuecy@yahoo.com for the latest files. Future updates will be posted here. The current version have some basic widgets but depending on the reception of this project, more things will be added.

    What is MaxSense?
    MaxSense is based on Manila/Sense 2.5. Unlike the original setup, MaxSense offers you total freedom to re-design your Home layout. All objects are now widget based and there are many customization options available to make your phone truly looks the way you want it. With full screen features and multiple screens, these allow you real estates to put things on the screen which were never possible. The UI design in such a way that it gives you access to the things you use frequently within a touch or scroll. I can go on forever but below summary of the features will bring to light what is there to offer.



    Features of MaxSense
    • Full Screen ( Wallpapers 960x800 )
    • 3 Home Widget Screens ( Scroll left/right )
    • 60 Quicklinks accessible on all tabs
    • Tab launcher screen accessible on all tabs
    • Full Taskbar with dropdown features accessible on all tabs
    • Widgets ( a lot of customization options and more to come )
      - Clocks ( Analog, Digital, Slide )
      - Alerts ( Calendar, Call History, Mail, SMS, Voicemail, Alert Display Panel )
      - Quicklinks ( 10 additional shortcut widgets for program, contacts and bookmarks )
      - 11 Toggle Widgets ( Wifi, Bluetooth, Airplane, Data, AutoLock, AutoMute, AutoBacklight, Weather Animation, Vibrate Toggle, Rotation, Display Off )
      - 6 Utility Widgets ( Battery, Memory Meter, Date, Alarm, Phone Signal, StartMenu )
      - Others ( Weather, Music Player, Favorite Contacts, Internet Search, Blank Panel, Scrolling Text )
    • General Settings
      - Weather Animation
      - Rotation
      - Autolock
      - AutoMute
      - Taskbar ( Hidden/Maximized/Minimized ) + Retractable
      - Text Color ( includes bottom arrow but exclude all widgets text which you can set individually )
      - High Quality Wallpaper
      - 20 pixel snap
    • Program Link Settings (LSK, Start, Date, Alarm, Battery, Memory, Calendar, Messaging, Email, TaskMgr)

    Requirements & Compatibilty
    1. Supports both WVGA and VGA
    2. ROM with Manila/Sense 2.5 ( MaxSense is only available "cooked" in ROM's. As of now there are no intentions of releasing a cab as a "Add On" to Manila/Sense 2.5 )

    FAQs
    1. How to get speed performance in Max Sense?
    Ans : Putting more widgets on screen will slow things down and the best way is to switch off certain settings when necessary. Below are some of the settings which you can tweak to get optimum performance
    a. Minimize or hide weather animation
    b. Minimize or hide taskbar
    c. Minimize all alerts and use a single alert display panel
    e. Use less widgets :p

    2. How do I change the language in Manila?
    Ans : You have to edit a registry value in HKCU / MUI / CurLang. The CurLang value determines what language will appear in Manila. After you've made the changes, re-start manila. Currently, languages to be included are as below with hex value.
    a. English : en-us (0409)
    b. Chinese (Simplified) : zh-cn (0804)
    c. Chinese (Traditional) : zh-tw (0404)
    d. Czech : cs-cz (0405)
