CLOSED, Lt. Sense 2.5.[2012|2016|2018], WM6.[5|5.x], MaxSense, Titanium

[O.a.T.]

Just checking to see how much interest there would be in a very, very light, MaxSense ROM. Currently it's based on 23541, but 21895 and 23557 are possible. My small, private local user group has been using it now for about 10 days, and most really like it.

Maybe a few more words on my "ROM Philosophy", so everyone knows what they are buying into if I do post this ROM.

First, in regards to SYS's, I use to try the latest versions, but most times could see very little difference in capabilities or performance. Seems, if anything, I would see bugs in the SYS's. So I've found a SYS that works and I've stuck with it.

In regards to SENSE, very similar to the above, with the exception that at this point I am aware and following the state of and developments of 2015, 2016, etc. It's likely that I will be moving to those sometime in the future when I am convinced they offer something substantially better than 2012, are very robust themselves, and integrate well with Sense additions like Co0kie, MaxSense, GTX, etc.

In regards to "light", I cook very few apps into my ROMS for two simple reasons. It makes it easier to keep up with the latest versions of those apps without reflashing and more than likely they can be installed in internal memory thus freeing up working memory. In fact, I haven't flashed a new ROM in months! Personally, I create a complete backup of my rom and all my installed apps that do not modify Sense, after I've installed and set them up, and after a thorough cleaning/optimization of the registry. Then it makes it easy to start from there with sense mods. I've never had a problem upgrading sense mods, for e.g., Co0kie or MaxSense, to their latest versions.

The latter will have to change a bit as Maxycy, the creator of MaxSense, is currently not allowing the posting of cabs. I will probably weigh carefully the severity of any MaxSense bugs reported along with an evaluation of the corrections/extensions the updated versions offer before releasing a new ROM.

Finally, I do no "artistic mods", like skinning, etc., because I have no artistic capability and enough others do and post that I can generally find something, like transparency, if I look.

Please consider the above and LMK if you really are interested under these conditions. Thanks.

I like Lite anything.

I'm in. I'm on Energy and have about .5 MB free space.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hmmm? My Diamond, after installing all my apps and MaxSense leaves free Storage/Program of 57MB/75.6MB respectively. My other Diamond with Co0kie is at 55MB/85MB, albeit with a few different apps.

Sounds like a great idea! There isn't a basic no-nonsense ROM that is current posted up here anymore. Plus, I personally like the basic look without getting too artsy.

Go for it!

sounds great, I am willing to test if that is what you are looking for

I have installed S2U, STU Energy Theme, and Touchpal. I also have 2 .wav ringtones because of the .mp3 ringtongs being corrupted. I'm down to 2.53MB of storage.

I have been thinking about going back to Moonscape's ROM since he updated but I've been kind of watching to see if anything else comes out in the next few weeks.

I like reasonably full featured "lite" ROMS that allow me to install applications (that allow it) to Internal Storage. Thanks for offering, it would be great to have any level of ROM development for the Diamond.
