MaxSense Unleashed (POCKETNOW REVIEW)



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.

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

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)

the new beginning.

With No doubt this new UI will be awesome, and Maxycy work alot of this project, but right now im a bit disapointed, because i was thinking that the Max Sense is stand alone complate new Revolution UI and everyone can use it without to have need from the Manila, now i read is again just new mod for 2.5 Sense this mean that only the peoples with new devices who are by default with 2.5 can use it..., of course everyone can flash a rom with 2.5 sense even on Blackstone but this is super super super slow interface...for our old devices, i like the Cooke mod too but i need to buy HD2 if i really wana use it, all other is JOKE and peoples with Blackstone and other Old devices who think they can use this manila 2.5 MODs.. know very well that this is not a interface for our devices, super slow,buggy lags etc....

I think the best UI need to be independant like stand alone application only then many peoples with diferent devices can use it and feel it, because if have some UI like this then we just need to Flash a fast clean rom without any Manila etc and just to use this UI alone, this is the REVOLUTION and complate new UI.

Anyway congrats for the work and will wait to see how this Max Sense will work if is posible please update with some Video when is released.

Thanks

@Maxcy send you a mail about dutch translation

This is going to be good!

I can't wait.. This looks very good from the post above.. Great job guys.

Wow! I really appreciate all the work that has gone into rebuilding the UI. I can't comprehend the undertaking it was. I am still trying to get used to it though. What a change! Very complex and difficult right now to keep track of which home screen I am on. Navigating is not natural for me yet. I hope it becomes easier for me to remember how to move through it soon. Thank you to Maxyc and the whole team for all that you do.
