everyone love it already for many months!

maybe because of lots of _chosen_ones_ in the forum community understands that normally working version is ready long ago.

beta-testers are using it on everyday basis -- that's why it doesn't look that "incomplete" as said previously.

first Max Manila versions were looking incomplete to final 3.0.

but we were using all those betas, leading to final version.

and were happy with their bugs and stuff...

somewhere on the russian forum, discussing MaxSense, i've seen a version, that's all being a "marketing" strategy. hopefully it ain't so!

if, sincerely, the version could not be released, i'm ready to refresh this thread everyday for another couple of months.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jlavoie:
boy oh boy, i see more and more people testing and reporting on how it will be worth the wait. i just wonder how so many have come to test these new versions? i guess being a multiple $upporter is not the way to play?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JudgeDredd67:
It would be easy to have the patience that you do if I had "been using maxSense for 2 days"

And yes, I know we will love it too. :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
ho-hum!

If that's the case, that is one hell of a marketing strategy! :eek: Also, if that is all I wanted, I'd probably market it as well! ;) Of course we all are encouraged to donate to those who put their time into a project. So I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between marketing versus donating in that sense... I say, it would be nice if the author wouldn't market it but that would be their choosing; to each their own... :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Wont respond to "Marketing" or anything like that...

But I can say that I love this community and patience is difficult...I know I am beyond impatient ;(

But it does help if there is a support group....lol....see here:

Really nice shell, congratulations, I have a question: Can I customize completely? I mean grapics and actions?

bye
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Graphics yes, actions not really.

You can move pretty much everything around the screen and remove items you don't want but you can't really change, for example, what the sms icon does (it goes to your sms tab).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Boushh:
You will still be able to change the application linking in the same way that you can with manila builds though, right? Eg. You will be able to change it, just not in an *easy* fassion?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
the Max Sense look better and better :)

If you need Beta Testers, let me know. Will be pleasure to test it :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mi_bowman:
Will something like this work on an older simpler device such as the Samsung Omnia...not an Omnia 2 ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Boushh:
It should be able to run on anything that can run manila 2.5.2012.

6th Preview - Link on post#1

Pls give your credit to Bignadad for this video. After disappointing comments about using his stylus for his last video, he has demonstrated now on his TP2 that it is an entirely finger friendly ui. Eat your words.

And, stop wasting your breath asking for ETA as you know I will not say anything. However, you know that it is near.

On some technical questions about flexibility, Millski had responded that you can practically moved a lot of graphics around but what even the testers are not aware of is that most of the functions can be directed to any other software paths through registry editing. This will later be explained in more details.

For now, enjoy the video and go pat Bignadad shoulder or you will never see another video again....:p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stianbert:
congratulation it looks very nice and im waiting for release, you must fix a button for donating
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] uqo11:
Wow 6th video looks amazing and no need of stylus:eek:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] simzz:
Looks great! One question, if I donate to this project, can I help to beta test?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] _7_:
WOW!

Thanks a lot for the movie preview and I would like to say that it looks amazing.

Really looking forward to the release.

Keep up the superior good work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ivart:
IMPRESSIVE WORK!

Really looking forward to use this SW when you are ready for your release :-)

By the way may I ask which device and ROM you are using on the 6th preview as it seems extremely fast responding?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fuzzywerewolf:
it would be a touch pro 2 hence in u're quote of maxycy it says TP2
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bignadad:
It's my personal ROM i have started cooking... cooked MaxSense right into Manila Package
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ivart:
Oki, thanks for your quick respond. :)

How much difference in speed do you think there would be when installing this SW as a separate cab on the latest "up to date" cooked ROMs?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Well to be honest MaxSense is fast either way... i guess cooked in offers a little more speed
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
In my own experience in testing it both cooked in a rom and as an addon on cab...there isnt that much of a difference...it of course is a little bit faster cooked in.

The fastest I have seen it work is on BignAdAd ROM :)

when we will be able to download this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kriz206:
Everything looks perfectly fine. Especially when you add shortcuts directly from the taskbar to the Start Menu and Task Manager.

As for the beta there is no hurry. Although i would gladly have it installed already.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] R^7Z:
Looks very nice!

Stupid question time

I apologize if you have already answered this :o but how is it, performance wise, on your RAPH on a 1 to 10 scale?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ceesheim:
for an alpha and weather turned of it is fast (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

it was all very nice, I use the max manila its first release, but eventually it exits? I thought that we're putting a little too long, do not you think?:mad:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Maringer:
Yep, I'm still checking back here each day in great anticipation. I do think that the sheer number of top bar icons/notifications make the interface look a little 'fussy' but the rest of it looks so nice, I'm willing to forgive this. ;)

Here's hoping it will be as fast and responsive on my Blackstone as on the TP2 in the 6th preview vid!

Teasing

Dear Maxycy,

you keep on teasing us with new video updates. which all look very awesome. When will be the time you relieve us and post a beta version??

Kind regards, Kuzibri
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Max is a Blackstone user (that's why this thread is in the Blackstone forum) and so am I. It runs pretty much the same on my phone as it does on Big's TP2 videos.

When it's finished.

Well if you could quickly put together something similar in less time you might be able to beat Max to a release. Or Max could release it early and leave it un-optimized and without full function. Personally I'd rather wait til he's finished and happy with his hard work :)

When it's finished.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nsane:
This project keeps on getting better. Grats to all the team.

I was wondering if there will be an option to display more than 1 apointment on the home screen.

This is pretty much a big deal for a lot of "business" users...and it's a feature present in Manila 2.5....so I have my fingers crossed ;-). If not for release, at least in a future update.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ego-sum:
... and what's the saying for: Asking questions already answered a dozen times? ;)

All developing members of this project keep saying there is no ETA yet and you can count on it that they will post it somewhere in the first post when it's due to come out... Until then - do what we all do: Wait impatiently - and hope for a smooth development! ;)

- oh: And in case your post wasn't meant serious: I bet there are a hundred others that were just about to ask for an ETA... :)

Will MaxSense actually replace htc sense or will it just be a htc sense customizer?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
It is actually a complete remake of Manila/Sense 2.5....

So it replaces your standard HTC Sense...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] andes83:
As other HTC HD owners I'm watching this thread and smile when thinking of the possibilities of this UI and want to say to the developers that nobody will blame them for a bug or two after the release of beta ,alpha or whatever .That's why we're a community and we will help developers to smoothen their work if it's not flawless. Please don't repeat the mistake that schapss did whit his TouchXperience too much time takes the fun away and raises a lot of questions and then a beautiful project gets ugly pretty fast .All of us will be glad to help you with suggestions and findings about the UI when we try it nobody can make it perfect the first time (wow Neo and The Matrix :) ) I'm not complaining about anything I guess I'm just trying to say that teasing people with promises after a while get frustrating and even when you think you finished the project and release it the expectations will be much larger than what it can offer.Everything looks very nice and sharp for now hope for the best and prepare for the worst and I think the worst is not to release it.And again I'm not complaining,blaming,framing,accusing or any other "ings" just hoping to see this soon so we can help as much as we can to make it the best UI ever.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
Not really from what I have gathered he still has some stuff to do. The testing team just happens to be a lot of the guys who are theme builders.

I've been dieing to get my hands on this so I can start skinning it. I have lost all drive to skin 2.5 anymore.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
Exactly....I lost most motivation for 2.5 until started testing with Max Sense :)

Why I am working on Android theme for Max Sense...WIP

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
I was hoping to be part of the team but alas I wasn't chosen. I was thinking of a Droid port/theme as well but since you have it covered I guess I can start thinking of something else or get my ass in photoshop and get started on some new icon's that I have in mind.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zahurtex:
Wow man !!! its been lots going on here and I was only watching prevs on youtube:eek:​
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] robertolm:
Like all: Look great.

I'm Spanish.

Will be any option to traslate all the text messages to spanish???

any lenguage.txt or lengage.ini to custonize or traslate???

I prefered answer before finish the project .... late, when all the people start to download and test ... will be very dificult to create new features like multiple lenguage.

LOOKS GREAT.

I have a HD2 (wvga) with artemis rom v8 (Manila 2012). Will works on my config?

I suppused that will works on manila 2012 but ..... WVGA???? i don't know.

GREAT Work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cedrikk:
WOW it's magnific !!!! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
This is Manila folks. If you have a language installed and working on your phone then chances are you will have no problem to continue to do so. This is for WVGA (Maxy uses a Blackstone) but it will also work on VGA handsets.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] robertolm:
Thank you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
I have never really dabbled to far into graphics/theme work outside of my own kitchen/roms or just manila editing, so I am sure that you could do something equal if not better :)

If you have any ideas or what not you can always PM me and when it does come out we can always work on a Android/Droid/Nexus One theme together as well!

I was thinking about a Sense theme, but I think I am kinda tired of that whole look ya know?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] simzz:
Great point...what could it possibly hurt to come out with a public beta? It looks like it is very stable, and the community would be a great help in testing...

Oh well, I guess the tease will continue.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HC4Life:
F****** Great!!!

Can't wait to be released.

I'm already addicted.

Thanx 4 your wonderful work ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dipdap:
MaxManila has given me lots of joy, but this looks so fine!

respect for all the work you put in!

I'm looking forward to use this on my phone
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
The whole thing is not done. I'm guessing on this one but there are unfinished links in the manila structure, as well as possible pages that still need to be built. I could be wrong on the last one though since he is using the actual manila tab pages.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
The trouble with a Public Beta is that you can't choose your public!

While there is a perfectly sensible core of technically literate people willing to read and understand before trying, there is an ever increasing number of people blundering on here saying things like, 'I've just got an HD2, I've never had a WinMo device before, I'm upgrading from two empty baked-bean tins and a length of string...so which four ROMs should I try this afternoon and by the way, is it normal that the device won't power on after installing HSPL and a Guatemalan Radio?'

Sadly, maxycy's pride and joy is exactly the sort of thing that will be attractive to this vacuous minority, who will see only the shiny bauble and stick it on their devices without any regard to the requirements, restrictions and recommendations posted by the developer. When it all goes wrong, guess who gets an Inbox full of dim-witted questions and appeals for help?

I'd therefore entirely support the developer and the test team taking as long as they need to deliver a quality piece of software, even if that takes six months. It's not going to kill me to wait and the world will most certainly not stop spinning.

On a separate, more general note, there are far too many on this site - and one or two who have popped up in this thread - that seem to think that developers of hobbyware, usually provided free, owe them something. It's all 'gimme, gimme, gimme' and if the developer doesn't publish within days, they let fly with a range of accusations. This is deplorable behaviour, often from newer members who ought to have more respect, more patience and much more gratitude.

It'll be done when it's done and we should all be suitable grateful when it is finally done - I shudder to think of the unpaid man hours macycy must have put into this and maxmanila before it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jacko5:
Spot on :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
@Gustopher

Very Very well put!

It does seem that more and more people want it withing 2 or 3 days, and if they dont get it, they spam and accuse the Devs/Chefs of "Marketing Ploys" or just plain rants that have little to no actual substance.

But on the other hand it is really great to see XDA and the community grow and new members getting involved and constructively participate in the forums.

So it seems to be a double edge sword.

Rest assured that this doesnt detur most from continuing to Test and work on amazing projects like this.

I dont speak for Maxycy in any way shape or form, but Max Sense is getting better all the time.

Just wanted to let you know that you arent alone Gus ;)

Ohhhh and wanna trade my Droid Eris for your two empty baked-bean tins and a length of string?

LMAO.

I'm upgrading from two empty baked-bean tins and a length of string

More time we wait, best will be the work :) good job!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
A couple of the guys on the apha group have already cooked their own personal roms with MaxSense in, for testing purposes. It's too early to say what the memory footprint is as each day or 2 some new form of optimization is added to the project (discovered this morning that Big' has re-drawn all of the weather images for the small weather panel on the home tab, reducing the image sizes to a quarter of what Sense stock uses - you can imagine the difference this makes!).

No animated backgrounds. At the moment MaxSense uses a single large image to 'paper the 3 'home' pages like a panoramic wall. The central 480x800 of this wallpaper is then used like BG4All on the other tabs. No landscape support as yet either, so no seperate landscape walls have been implemented :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sorcio91:
when God will be available?:eek:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] andes83:
Thanks for the quick response I see that it still needs a lot of tweaking before you can say how much memory it'll "bite" from the device.Landscape is not that big of a problem I don't really see the point of it as I haven't used it even if I had it in my ROM, I guess it's just for show .Resizing the manila images will speed things up for sure and the resolution of some images doesn't need to be so high to be nice looking,speed is really the essence of an UI and everybody will agree on this (I can't count the times I cursed my HD when I take it out to make a quick call or text and I can't get to the correct tab because Manila is slow like hell).Everything is going superb for now keep us informed about the new stuff :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] UMBRA9:
I'm highly looking forward to this!

I'm using a HTC HD2 [T9193 {The Aussie Telstra one}] and I can't wait to put something on it to make it better!

I've looking into everything else but the other stuff confuses me immensely. So I'll be glad when MaxSense is released :D

Keep up the good work! :D
