[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hjb012:
Max sense we already love it!!!

Me too:D I already love it!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TeDeV:
i guess i am the only guy in this whole forum, who thinks that max's manilla is propably the best mod ever, and that the maxsense is the less user-friendly mod ever. i hope i am not insulting your work max, but this is some of the things, I as a user, don't like from what i see.

1) the notification bars (appointments, missed calls, etc) take too much space on your screen (6 LINES). in TF3D with max manilla, u have all these things in 1 line. and u can have them the size you want.

2) from what i see, everything is too damn small. Notification icons and top bar icons. if a user has big fingers then, he will simply won't use it. you need a stylus for something like that.

3) you can't actually do anything fast. for example if you want to access the start menu, you have to press the top left button carefully, and then press a second button! in order to actually access it.

another thing would be the manilla tabs. for example, in my 2.5 Sense, i can simply press the tab i want to access, because it is right there and i see it. or i can simply slide my finger. on the other hand, in this mod, i have to press 2 buttons instead of 1, and actually lift my finger twice.

4) the rest are just things that i don't like personally, and this is why i am not mentioning them. 1-3 are things that goes for anyone. sorry for saying my opinion, but well i believe that i am helping Μax more by telling ideas, than the guys that all they say is.... "OMG I CAN'T WAIT"

peace :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Opinions are just that Opinions, we all have different ones :)

This is the only place you went wrong in your post. Users that are posting this are merely expressing their "Opinions" and support/excitment over the Max Sense project.

So if you express your "Opinion" that is fine, as we are all free to do so.

BUT do not condesend other users "Opinions" in the same breath, thats Negative and In my eyes counter productive to this community.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] terius:
Max i'm a big fan, actually i have installed max v3 and i love it, but agree in one point with TeDev, i have a HD2 and my phone is user friendly and the icons on top are too small for any finger, the rest is just good damn perfect... continue working like this, but with bigger icons, txs max i hope you can think in finger friendly users that love's your job

Fingerfriendly

Hi Max,

Can you please make this Max sense fingerfriendly?

F.I. "scrolling wheel like" in agenda when selecting time event.

Great work!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] chizzwhizz:
i like everything that ive seen so far. will max sense have the option for fullscreen and non full screen? kinda like what is in the max manila mods
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nsane:
Could people complaining about Maxsense not being sufficiently finger friendly, please wait to try it?

Seriously.

Moreover, we don't even know to what extent the interface can be personalised.

So far, all we know is that it is a nice project that attempt to mesh together aspects of Manila, android and SPB.

Before you express criticism at least wait to try it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lasimo0:
The OP stated that he welcomes any input. I think it's fair enough to give feedback on what appears to be stylus-dependent navigation. Not complaints, but suggestions. I agree with their "suggestions" and hope that Maxycy takes the feedback, sorts out what he wants and doesn't want, then puts out the awesomeness that will be MaxSense.

Kudos to you, Maxycy! Can't wait to test drive it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HelderJr:
Maxcy, first of all, I´m always impressed with your creativity to edit Sense. Congrats on your job!

If I may suggest something, why don´t you try to make the top bar (notifications) more finger-friendly. I mean, I know you have already notticed that. My suggestion is to make something like android, where you slide the top bar down and get the nofifications and/or BIG icons. Or just by tapping on the bar would make a big screen with big buttons appear.

Well... anyway I´m very excited in testing it!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dr.W:
First off, I'm very impressed. I've been using Maxmanila for several months now and really like the look and feel. MaxSense is just unbelievable. I can't believe you've been able to turn Sense into something so different and so much more usable. I can't help but think that Microsoft should have hired you to help design WP7S. Not blowing smoke at all here, just seriously impressed and looking forward to using it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ejwkamstra:
Looks awsome!

Hi Maxcy,

I loved your work already with the Max Manila version, but now you have outdone yourself. When can we expect to play around with that nice peace of software? And make sure NRG will use it in his ROM's.:D

This is amazing.

I agree with some of the other threads... pse make it finger friendly, because i don't see myself always taking the "Sword out of its holster.

Can't wait:p

thanks millski for the taskbar icons :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Saw that last night over on Mobilecustom :)

Beautiful work again man...Cheers!

Waiting on this Beta is becoming a part time job ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kriz206:
For several months I am using HTC Leo and I'm pretty sure that I will not have a problem with small icons of the taskbar. Just look at the movie set a few posts above and you will believe. As for you, Max i admire your work and thanks for MaxManila 3.0. You are the best. Waiting for beta versions and good luck in further modifications to the HTC Sense.

Ps. You could add a button directly to the Start menu and task manager from the bottom bar next to the three existing objects it would be more comfortable and should look pretty good. I do not criticize your work because everything looks good is just my opinion.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] leemoss84:
i thought i liked touchXperience when i saw it but this is way better and prolly runs alot better too considering everyone doesnt own a leo.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Walderstorn:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kenia1234:
Whoooa!!! Looks reaaaaally nice!!! excellent work!!! waiting impatiently!!! :D:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Buembel:
hi

great would be integration of both old tf3d widgets and android/sense widgets :)

/e: also in my opinion second program "tab" should not be customizable as there seems to be already 1 customizable given. maybe it's possbile to slide the usual 6.5 programs tab?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jimecm:

You said you need skinners, well I've done skinning jobs before, just send me an email. I'd like to help you very much. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
what about a clock on the home screen?? it would be much better than having to press the button at the bottom-right!! Just a click with the date oe perhaps and an alarm it would be perfect!! Keep up the good job!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Looks promising Max, though it needs a clock and taskbar on 'Home' ;)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ziupo:
And so actually what is this? Overlay TF3D as MaxManila or a completely new frontend to the WM? Anticipate a version of VGA devices? I wish you success and look forward to a beta of.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
Nice,pro work ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Thks to all for the interests and feedback so far. And, thks to all the skinners who has offered to help. I will contact you shortly when it progress further.

Before you all get over excited, this is still very preliminary. I'm just building up the foundation and still have not even touches a lot of stuff.

The basic idea is to have a main launcher screen to replace the slider tab icons. This give you a fast access and no slowdown to navigate to other screens. And, it also opens up to more things like the panoramic panning of the screen.

Here's a preview of a new clock layout. Can't squeeze any further. Any other layout ideas are welcome. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qtype:
I belive that there is a lot of work left to do, but you have already made a great job. I belive that it requires a lot of work so just take it slowly. if we waited this long, we can wait some more for a fantastic GUI as that.

Just one suggestion, and I'm not sure if it can be done, because I already asked for it a bunch of times and nobody could answer me.

Is is possible to have a black color of the font?

because I have a bunch of littecolored(very bright) wallpepers that I would like to use and when I use them, all text (from SMS messages, e-mails and such) is very hard to read.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jerpelea:
nice

finaly an clean gui for wm

nice and clean

i am waiting for betatest
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Just an idea of something I'd like to see...

A central button, when held or tapped, which opens the tab icons in a circle... Oh and the first line of quicklinks below the clock (very small though) and the taskbar...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] chasy:
man that looks so awesome :)

i love your work :D

keep it up!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tung_meister:
i'd like to see that aswell, looks pretty good.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ziupo:
maxycy - maybe something like the Motorola Droid:

Both the horizontal mode or vertical. I am concerned mainly about the clock - the size, font, location.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sprinttouch666:
WOW! :eek::eek::eek: awesome work man. keep it up!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Turbii:
Looks great! And fast! I'm waiting for the final version :D

Good luck!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
a really great job there max. i already saw by the clouds in the side that there will be wheather animation so this is great to keep. i have a suggestion to make. i saw above the picture from milski with the circled buttons. what about making two layouts. in the center there will be a button to change between layouts. the reason for that is having less buttons on the home screen and we can add the buttons that we use most on the 1st layout and the buttons we use most on the second layout!! just a home screen with the ability to change the buttons in it!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Remove it. It's not available for public release yet and shouldn't be installed by anyone. There's a reason it's not out of alpha.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
This is unbelievable. It's like going to Microsoft wt a pirate copy and asked them why it is not working.

I plead to those who has put up links to a leaked version (be it old or new) to remove it or you will not see the completion of this project.

(I know who you are....)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
I say remove it till is officially released! You're going to ruin it for all of us who are waiting patiently ( or impatiently :D ) and willing to support the author! :p

@ maxycy and dena994

Absolutely awesome! I can not wait to try MaxSense out and your skinning work is smooth Dena994 (I watched your video) thanks for getting it hooked up with your touch before it is released so when we get our hands on it we can polish it up with your skin or leave it stock if they wish. The work done here by Maxycy and all those involved in this is much appreciated and most of us are waiting patiently for the finished work not some leaked unfinished, unreleased version.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
WOW...

It really sucks that people posted your Alpha 1.1 all over the place :(

Keep up the good work and try and ignore the ignorance of a few.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] augie7107:
This tops any UI I have seen.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eddyve:
Hi Millski,

AS many other people I too am looking with great antipation fort this new UI, which may give us a lot better perspective than the stupid Microsoft solutions. But, at the same time it should be said that this discussion looks at least a little bit odd (if not hypocryt). Are we all working with clean, out-of-the-box windows versions?

Don't get me wrong I love your work and the work of all chefs and certainly what Max is doing, but if some people try to use unfinished work it is up to them to solve the problem.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JudgeDredd67:
And might I just add that, I have never waited so eagerly for such a release before. And it is very puzzling to see the video of this and wonder why it is still alpha? This looks better than most beta software I have tested. I know this may sound a little harsh but, it isn't like you respond to questions here anyway so why not let us all try it out. That is unless you plan on selling it, then by all means keep the alpha and beta secure. I guess you have your own reasons for doing this the way you have. But when you are on this side of the fence it can be very frustrating to say the least.

Thanks Max for all the work you have done. I think you can see from the posts in this thread that a LOT of people support you and wish you well.

JD
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ceesheim:
it is still an alpha (no beta release ) because a lot of futures are not ready jet .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
The problem is some people used the unfinished work and then came complaining about problems. My inbox spammed full of 'why can't I uninstall MaxSense???' and 'why isn't this feature working???' impatient questions. When you're custom rom with WM 6.5.x has no HTC volume control because there are no drivers to fit it do you email Microsoft and ask them why? Or HTC? No, we wait patiently for a working driver or hope like hell that some smart XDA chappy can bodge 1 together (please!) :D

The video's paint a very pretty picture, but the alpha is by no means finished. Something the people who downloaded the leaked version will probably find out around about now is that you can't uninstall it cleanly yet. Some dll's have to be edited and removing them is difficult (I just flash a new rom, but then I am a flash junkie). This will all be cleaned up for release, obviously, but during alpha there's little point finalising the dll's when Max keeps adding new stuff to them all the time.

On a final note the release version is intended to blow you all away. To achieve this Max is loading it with useable features. The framework of the UI is pretty much there now, though Max does keep tweaking it on each new alpha, so it's the widgets and secondary funcions like what info is in the taskbar etc which he's making now. Then it needs testing and skinning. There is no ETA as some things take longer than others to make.

Any suggestions for cool or useful widgets btw? :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
How about an integrated SMS/TXT/eMail tab or widget? Feel free to ask me, if a better explanation is needed. I might be able to produce a screenshot but not any time too soon.... :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ceesheim:
do you mean a self made sms/email client (not the wm/sense ) ?

if you mean something like that then that could be a great idea .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jamieeeee:
i would love to see a hyves tab. i dont think its possible but it would be great.. its the largest social site in the netherlands :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ceesheim:
I don't know but maybe it will be possible to make your own widgets in the final release , when that is possible there are and-less possibility's and that would be the coolest thing .

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hjb012:

No, I mean a widget per application. Otherwise you have to go to the tab and then click the comm manager.

The whole idea of widgets is: direct access to a setting from your mobile desktop. Correct me i I'm wrong;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] N'da:
widget ideas

Hi, what i miss the much is a RSS widget and a notes widget like a small album tab but dysplaying small picture (readable) of the notes and opening it in MyNote (from mylostblog).

It's only ideas whatever comes out it will be an huge step for all of us, because most of the GUI out there open WM app but manila gives us a deeper interface hiding the not so finger friendly WM menu.

Really nice you did it Maxycy.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mghilardi3:
Totally in Love

Ok, so I am totally in love with this interface. It's exactly what I've been looking for. I've been finding myself going back and forth enabling and disabling TF3d and SPB and visa versa. I would love to be a beta tester for this. I'm going nuts waiting to hear more about it and see it in action in person.

So gorgeous. Just so you know, I am now one of your biggest fans. Lol.

MaxSense

Maxi & Team: Awesome work so far. Maxi what u have done to Sense UI is absolutely amazing. I bow before a hacker god!!! I watch ur update vids and drool all over my keyboard again and again. I luv my BlackStone(using Dutty's Holy Grail rom) and will soon be buying a Leo but hate with a passion the stock Sense UI. Htc was headed in right direction but missed their target by a mile. They could never pay u enough to teach their programmers a few things. The stock sense ui as everyone knows is way too heavy and SSSSLLLLLOOOWWWWW!!!! Ur MaxSense UI how ever looks really fast and and I can only imagine what it will be like to use on a LEO. I beg u along with the rest of ur fans who are patiently waiting, plz keep up the excellent work. We all anticipate the day u release a true work of art. Plz do not let the squanderings of those who would release betas behind ur back and those stupid idiots who complain about something they have no right, stop u from finishing this project.

P.S. PLZ for the luv of God hurry up! LOL! JK Soooooo cant wait to get my hands on it. May give my BlackStone a second life as well!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kuailan:
Unbelievable

DAMN THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! Absolutely best I ever seen. But problem is will it work on smaller specs device than Touch HD2?? Our Touch HD has a much slower CPU, so it may not be as smooth as the one shown in the video??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Terrorhuhn:
AFAIK it's an Touch HD in the video, look at them, in one he uses an stylus, and in the 1st you can see it's a touch hd.

Furthermore he wouldn't post this UI in the Blackstone forum if it's an HD2

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Abandoned-Trolley:
Wow....

Max made his first post in this thread 30th January that's only just over 2 months ago. That's not exactly a long time considering this is a side project from his day to day life and the scale of the project he is taking on it's understandable that it would have quite a few bugs that he will be wanting his beta testers to report to iron out before releasing a version to the public.

Keep up the good work, it's looking great and can't wait to see it running on the HD and hopefully cooked in with some lite ROMs to keep up the speed :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ceesheim:
and to ad to this , it hasn't got landscape at this point ( it has , but it has to be scaled ) and all those things make this an alpha , but to call it "Duke Nukem For Never " isn't right .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
I suppose most are too impatient for their own good now-a-days... Even for something free! ;) Personally, I'm willing to wait as long as possible, especially for something free! :cool:

To all those involved in this project, keep up the great work! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jgal:
OK, I admit... The truth is that Im so impatient that I simply cant stand waiting any longer!!! So sorry for that "name calling". Thats funny because Ive always considered myself as a rather patient person :P Its just that most developers usually address their new project to the world when they already have a working alpha which they could immediately share with the public (at their own risk of course). But in this case - addressing the project to the people just to force them to wait for it for no-one-knows-how-long ripping their guts out with impatience - it is simply cruel :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
LOL...Patience is difficult...but will be worth it :)
