few suggestions

My initial impressions of this UI are it is great. I like the new feel of it and it really gives a new life to the phone. That being said my biggest problem had to do with the accuracy of tapping, its responsiveness, and the need to double tap things to make them pop up

here are a few ideas and suggestions:

I have a TP2, used max sense with NRG rom

1) it would nice to have the sense 2.5 weather clock as a widget

2) tapping the notification alert window should take you to the sense page for that notification

3) the home slider at the bottom moves very freely so its hard to tap to bring you back to homescreen without it shifting

4) the end key or back key should take user directly back to homescreen

5) the name of the sense page remains in background instead of fading away when on that particular page (ex. navigating to messages tab via the page of sense tabs leaves the message title in background of the actual message...hindering readability)

6)the battery indicator isn't accurate...I had 55% left and it was showing 3 bars

overall i love the idea behind this UI and where it is headed...I will be back to try it again as you update it. Cheers

Big mistake!! You guys have bombed my mailbox. Even with a wrong address, you guys managed to get through. And, I'm even more surprised that there are so many cooks out there. :p ( if only all these mails are donation notifications ). But, seriously thks to those who has donated. Still it's a long way to get my HD2 yet....hint hint.

Now to first address the issue of not having a cab released is not bcos I want to make this exclusive but for damage control. You have seen how when the floodgate opens and tons of post coming in complaining about this and that not working. I have to say that I have very little time to work on this project ( having a full-time demanding job and also demanding wife+baby ). Give and take, I will be lucky if I can spend more than 3-4hrs per day on this. So, in order to keep this project alive, I have to focus. For those who has send your mail, pls give me a couple of days to sort it out. Cabs may probably be released in the future after a few iterations to sort out all the issues in the all the phones out there. So, pls be patient.

Next I apologize for the lack of a manual which is also the cause for some of the posts here. This will come in due time as I've not the time and resource to do it yet. Some of your feedbacks are well taken and may be considered for upcoming updates. Pls note that this is only the first version and everything that you have now are basics. I just want to point out that what you now have is a platform that can have limitless widgets. The only limit is the real estate that you have on the phone to put all these things in.

Addressing some of the "I want this or..."

1. Need more quicklinks?? I thought there are already 75 + 3?? Still not enough? Seriously, I can add as many as I want. But then again, I have limited time and you have to tell me what is the best.

2. Retractable tabs? Well, I have to take it out bcos it's slowing things down a bit. If you notice, I have also taken out a lot of things which are slowing the manila down. I'm surprised nobody complained abt the flip clock. :p

Seriously, why the sliding tab? Bcos you have more fun sliding? I can think of something different if needed but putting the tabs back is very remote.

3. Issue wt Home button.....it is scripted to activate when sliding quickly to left/right. Holding them down and slide will disable it. And, for getting back to home screen fm other tabs, it is best to tap the home button quickly rather than pressing it as I have also set a timer to disable it after a short while. Now, if you think this requires a change, I can easily modify this and adjust the sensitivity settings.

You are welcome to post your ideas anytime but pls think properly what you want and why you want it. I do seriously consider your ideas but due to limited time, I can only do so much. So, pls help me to make the right decision. ;)

p/s - for those "cooks" who send me your mails, would greatly appreciate that you also give me a link of where your ROM is as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diboze:
i dont understand the point in releasing it only in custom roms.

This way no one EVER reads the manual how to use it but therefore the cooks only tell the users to ask in this thread the questions.

As u may have seen with the wp7 donation fund. This community cares about its developers. So maybe you can release a donation-featured version of it.

For people installing it via a cab, i guess every second guys reads the readme included and you would have to answer less questions.

Furthermore its not only you answering questions. Here are so many helpful people in this community :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alodar1:
Are you saying that Notification and Alert cannot both be used at the same time?

What would be your recommendation for Email/SMS, where an incoming email/SMS can be read by a tap of whichever widget displays New Email/SMS?

Right now I have the mail alert widget on the desktop. I have the mail alert display on the desktop. What should I have to do the following:

- recieve notification of incoming Email/SMS

- be able to tap that notification and open my Email/SMS and read it

Hello wonderfull one !!!!!

for quick link it will be great to add quicklinks as the 3 that you allready implemente... means that we can add where we want quicklinks and as many we want ;)

any thanks for your wonderfull work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
I didn't say that , you have to exit or disable the Alert Display Panel and that is something different .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Giorgiobin:
please, review the translation, when i choose italian language , the widget take a tecnical description like IDS_WIDGET_xxx.

Bluetooth widget

Love this rom! its alittle hard getting use to it but it is good.

i dont know if anybody else is experiencing this, but my bluetooth widget doesnt want to turn on the bluetooth. all it does is freeze for a few seconds and then doesnt do anything. also if maximize the taskbar and click on the bluetooth icon and click on bluetooth on, it does the same nothing. just freezes and then nothing and doesnt turn on bluetooth???? Anybody else.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gdem3685:
i think this is at a very early stage. it is very good, very fast and responsible in other words very very good. but i think you need to make it more customizable. every end-user has to make it just like he needs. today it was so hard for me to read a text message i got due to the fact i had to scroll to messages etc. also the same for looking for a contacts and things like that. you need to add more widgets (something like spb shell) so users can make their interface for their needs. every user has different needs. it was so hard for me to change the app for the 3 quick links. i haven't manage to do it so i stopped trying :) also i find it very confusing when i scroll the home button in the bottom (basically returning to home screen) and in what screen i am at. maybe something like an indicator will be nice!! it is very good but a little bit hard to use and confusing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alodar1:
Thank you for your feedback....but its obvious that I'm not as smart as I think I am.

On my desktop I have:

clock

Weather

Call Alert

SMS Alert

Email alert

Appointment

3 quick links.

I have removed the alert display panel by dragging it off the screen. I did a soft reset of my device.

I added my Windows Live email account, and now have 44 emails showing in my Email alert.

If I touch Any of the other widgets, weather...goes to weather tab....appointment...goes to calendar. if I touch my email alert to open my email...nothing happens.

yes, I can flick to the tab screen...and open the email tab....but shouldn't I be able to do it from the home screen? Reading your thread, I 'think' you said, I can, if I close or remove the Alert display panel.

What am I missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mail2eswar:
Hi,

Is there a QVGA version of Max Sense? If not, Can we expect it soon. I want to have this on HTC Touch Viva.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] keil.:
hi,

Your MaxSense is very nice.

thanks for that.

only one thing .....

on the main screen , we can only make 3 Quicklinks ,

is it possible to make some more on the main screen ?

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millski:
MaxSense requires Sense 2.5 as a basis. This is not available for QVGA so no, it won't be coming to QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
"I have removed the alert display panel by dragging it off the screen"

here it went wrong , go to edit widget then ad alert display panel and then click on the alert display panel , this will open the settings tab for that widget then uncheck "show widget" and hit the done button .

if all went well your problems are over .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jake62:
You can't remove the alert display panel by dragging it off the screen. you have to enter Edit Widgets and then double click on the panel and uncheck show widget.

You can also leave the alert display panel there, but to be able to get to the tabs via the alert icons, you have to close the alert display panel by clicking on the x in the top right of it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lolwtfdemon:
i want this on at&t Pure. what do
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alodar1:
Ok...I hard reset my device....the Alerts Display panel is NOT visible.

I Edit widgets....not add widgets....and the panel is viewable. i tap to access settings and uncheck as you suggested. I add an email account and it now works as expected.

I hard reset my device to double check this, because...the Alert Display Panel does NOT display on startup. My assumption is, that it already is set as its supposed to. Going to edit widget seems to confirm this. but, while in edit widget, the box for Display widget is checked. I understand this might be a default setting display.

anyway...I can duplicate the failure each time I hard reset. Your suggestion does resolve the issue. So I am happy. but it is strange that it occurs in the first place since I do NOT edit any setting before adding the email account

Thank you for your time and patience!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avi8108:
kudus maxcy

Just saw the review on pocketnow.

Looks like a great alternative to CHT.

lucky NRGz cooked this in.

Thanks for all your hard work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hot_biscuit:
Here are my 2 cents:

Great work Maxycy, I have finally the phone that I wanted to have since I bought it or almost :

- The home icon that makes you switch between the 3 home screens works great for me. I think you shouldn't modify the sensitivity of this. It's just a matter of getting used to how it works. You just have to do a very smooth slide to left or right and I like it very much. No big moves.

- Adding more than 3 quicklinks to the home screens could be a good idea.

- I can't add more than one favorite contacts...

- And I would like to customize the quicklinks tab the same way than the widgets : make them bigger or smaller, be able to modify the backgroung, etc...

- Like someone said before me : the battery icon still has 3 bars although my phone battery is under 45%.

By the way, I am using the Energy ROM.

Thanks again for your great work and for sharing it, I can't stop playing with my phone now ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alodar1:
Not 100% positive, but I believe you have to install a ROM with this cooked in. I believe Millski and NRG are the 2 that have it cooked with the HD2....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millski:
Swipe up or down across the favourite contact widget and it cycles through your favourites list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wickedninjalo:
is there any way to use my custom analog and digital clocks like we all did in Cookie Home tab and regular sense 2.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hot_biscuit:
Thanks!

There are a lot of nice things hidden. It's true that a quick manual would be a good thing to do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wingtytn:
hello maxcy and ty for to over haul its great and user friendly, and yet i must say i was lookin forward to the orig layout from ur first set of video's u produce not at all disappointed i have faith to know that it will be here soon and yes i still satnd behind u 100%
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lewrydiboys:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millski:
Use a regeditor and look for:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Max_BT"=dword:x

If it's set to 0 change it to 1 and see if BT works. If it's set to 1 change it to 0. Different devices use different BT stack drivers and this setting changes depending on the device (on the HD2 this setting needs to be '1' but I don't know for other devices...) Hopefully NRGZ just missed cooking in the correct setting for your phone and it's not something more complicated...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razvanvoicu1989:
I don t know if this question was asked before or not ..

I just want to find out if there is any version of maxsense available for htc topaz - touch diamond2, and if it is one .. pls lend a hand ... 10x
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Prime21:
Been reading thread. This looks to be a interesting project. I like what I've seen and read. Could you advise me on a ROM for a HTC T5388+ clone with a Marvell PXA310 cpu. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
look at here , I just looked and they are there http://hotfile.com/list/371982/a071938 .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] StevieBallz:
I like the general direction of MaxSense but I miss some of the possibilities one has e.g. with SPB's MobileShell and things I miss from the original Sense.

- I can't have one Widget displayed multiple times, so if I have the music widget on my left panel, I can't have another one on the one to the right.

- Getting to tabs like SMS takes me an additional step (pull home to the right and select SMS-Tab, as opposed to just pulling the bar to the SMS tab - perhaps an idea to allow scrolling through the tabs with a bar that is hidden until the home button in the middle is pressed?)

For now I'm going back to GTX with Cookie 1.7.1 but I think this is a great project that I enjoyed trying out - keep going, the direction is great.

I tried it on Energy ROM for the Touch HD (Blackstone), just in case that is of interest for anyone ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
nice idea , but I think it would be better to have it as a widget .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itguy28:
your the Man

Thanks so much. That worked. Thank you

Exactly my thoughts on this new baby

I flash the NRG rom for HD ..try it for 4-5 hours and the back to GTX version ...

To early stage of dev...to many things to ad and fix...

I will keep an eye on this ..

Thanks alot Max and keep up the good work

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stianbert:
on Energy roms you have actioncreen on left softkey ( mail, message, task .....)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlueAnt1958:
24 hours of use

Ok I have used MaxSense now for 24 hours on the NRG HD release. I think that basically for a first release it is really good and love where this is headed.

My only comment/suggestion (this maybe just me having issues getting used to it) I have found that when I move the widgets around on the homescreen they do not seem to lock into place or to a grid pattern. After a few hours of editing my screen looked very messy as I could not seem to get the widgets to line up properly. Hard Reset and I was back to the original layout. A few more attempts but still ended up with a very messy home screen. Again I state that this maybe just me getting used to the UI but might be worth looking at.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
if you realy want them inline you could do it by editing the registry .

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Max\Widget_*]

end edit the pos (X) and the pos (Y)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlueAnt1958:
That was quick

Thanks Ceesheim, I will give that a try but are you suggesting that this needs to be done for every Widget listed under the Max key?? Surely this is something that could be fixed in a more elegant way? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to do this but doubt it is a sustainable solution in the long term. Especially for those of us with ORD :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ferluci:
I like MaxSense a lot, but I have problems with both ROMs, Millsiki Amelia and Energy, after performing task 29, flashing the ROM, and doing a hard reset (as always do when flashing), the phone then boots, and as soon as finalizing loading a window appears indicating some MaxGPRS.exe error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millski:
This happens on first boot of my ROM but should go away on subsequent boots. I think the startup tries to run the app before customisation is run and it fails.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ferluci:
Ok, thanks. I´ll do some testing.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexbeat:
I think the function's of these new UI are pretty good... but the grapich's just sux.... i hope into next relase the UI-Owners make a litle improvements with the grapich's because atm its horrible to see. For now i prefer the sense with the GTX theme,maybe the next updates make me funny. Sorry but my fcking eng its so bad. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RLM7011:
I flashed to Energy today and was wondering if anyone

could explain to me how to change the three quick links

on the home page.

Seems that there defaulted to, in order a) Google Maps,

b) Opera and c) Camera.

MaxSense is the most amazing UI that I have "ever"

utilized. Truly a Job Well Done!

All the Best....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nt3r0z4:
+1 for graphic performance.

Im using NRGZ rom with maxsenseUI for now.

Found this 2 issue :

1. Battery meter on taskbar (maxsenseUI home) didnt inline with batter meter on the winmo (on winmo its say 65% left, on the taskbar its say still 100%)

2. Graphic performance on album very very slow :(

beside that... this new UI is AWESOME!!!

really WOW.... luv it :D :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hello00:
Next time keep your useless comments to yourself. You should at least appreciate the developer for the effort he put on this project. Nobody has ever thought about making a new Sense UI and because of him, he made it happen..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SinisterJunkie:
Thanks for the great work. Just flashed EnergyROM and getting MaxSense configured. Enjoying the different interface to toy around with.

Error (23569 Sense2.5 MaxSense May 30)

First and foremost, great job with the mod maxycy. It's smokin' fast and working quite well for the first release.

Here's an error I keep getting on every reboot and every attempt at reflashing:

===============================

;Error Message

An unexpected error has occurred in

MaxGPRS.exe

Select Quit and then restart this program,

or select Details for more information.

;Details

MaxGPRS.exe

NullReferenceException

at MaxGPRS.Program.Main(String[] args)

;Quit

===============================

At first, I thought it was XDA_UC related, because this error would pop up shortly after a fresh flash and right after the initial XDA_UC message. Though, I noticed it happened every time on subsequent boots.

Anyway, I got rid of my XDA_UC folder and reflashed--same problem.

What's MaxGPRS for, anyway?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] O.a.T.:
Interesting! Is MaxSense really 20Mb larger than co0kie or MaxManila?

Problem with centeral home button

I am using maxsense with NRZ enery rom. I am facing some issues with the central home button. Switching between HOME, QUICK LAUNCH and PROGRAM tabs is not easy. sometime its very tough to get back to HOME screen if you are in other windows. the ">>>" and "<<<" does not properly.

Any quick fix or suggestions... i am using it in Diamond 2

Also, i am unable to see weather animation. Adding a city in weather tab works. but "my location" is not working for me.

plz somebody make a rom for diamond...

pity that no diamond can use this beautifull mod :(

I know how to operate it...

just tap it and than slide to the desired direction:

1: tap

2: slide

:) actually its pretty cool!!:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gdem3685:
I think the favorite contacts widget is not good. if i have 20 favorite contacts contacts i have to scroll the others to get to the one i want. it is kind of annoying. maybe a drop down box when we press the favorite contact widget or multiple contacts widget would be good!!

My location is not working

Any idea how to make "my location" work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xebozone:
I just loaded your UI onto my phone on the EnergyRom on my HD2, and I immediately noticed a couple of things:

1. This bug occurs each time the phone starts:

I see this after I enter my phone's PIN code. Perhaps the .exe should start later (after the PIN has been entered)?

2. My background image is a 960x800 png file, and it looks like this on the phone:

3. It should look like this:

There are some major problems with the home button on the bottom. Sometimes tapping it does not return me to the home screen from the quicklinks screen, and sometimes swiping it left/right doesn't work from within the homescreen or from other tabs.

Apart from that, I love the fluidity of the interface and animations. Keep up the good work, but I don't think it's quite stable for me yet, unfortunately.

EDIT:

I found that on the default EnergyRom layout, clicking the call/sms/email widget TEXT does not work, only the icon

EDIT2:

I found that swiping the home button very slightly left/right results in success, however, It SHOULD work at almost any distance left/right

Also, Clicking on an alert on the alert widget should pop-up the relevant tab/alert
