Known Bugs/Issues with 6-25-10 ROM
  • HTC message client is not installed. If you are in HTC contacts and choose to send a text message it will show a blank screen. you will have to go into message tab to send text or use the action screen.
    Working on a fix for this, but might be a hot minute
Known Bugs/Issues with MaxSense in 6-25-10 Release
  • New SMS will not update in the alert display. the count shows fine on the sms widget, but if i press the sms it will display "no message" OR the previous message
    Once i go to see the message and go back home it will sometimes display and sometimes will take a bit longer to update... I have also seen once or twice that it WILL display correctly, but not often
    This problem is caused by the ROM error above. HTC message client needs to be installed for it to function correctly.. I AM WORKING IT
  • the data on/off toggle widget does not function.. if i click it it brings up comm manager.
    Response from Max Data toggle only disconnect. When diconnected, it will navigate to comms mgr. Connection can be done but need some programming fm .netcf
  • When internet widget is clicked on (inside search box) the top and bottom bars of WinMo are visible overlapping maxsense. sure its becuase of the keyboard
    being accessed, but is there anyway to stop that from happening.. not a big deal, just mentioning it
    Response from Max Can't be helped. When the keyboard is activated, the top/bottom bar will takeover. This is Winmo behaviour. Unless I reconstruct the whole keyboard fm scratch.

How to get speed performance in max sense?
  • 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
  • Minimize or hide weather animation
  • Minimize or hide taskbar
  • Minimize all alerts and use a single alert display panel
  • Use less widgets

FAQ.

1) Q: "Can you remove or hide placeholders"

"Max_HideEmptyShortcuts"=dword:00000001"

3) A: Put your phone top down( or reverse ) and it's locked .

4) Q: How do I change the language in Manila? (Multi Lang cab only)
