{BigMaxSense ROM}☼ 21909/23569 - 90mb Free RAM! ☼BigMaxSense REVAMP Coming????☼

[cls_]

Hey bigs... Nice job on the rom. Loving Max Sense. D@mn quick.

A few issues I have noticed on the Verizon Stock Rom:
1) Sometimes when I return to Max Sense the Windows start menu on the bottom of the screen overlaps the Max Sense.
2) Pressing the sleep button does not lock the phone, even though I have that set the "Auto Lock" option on within Max Sense.
3) Google Maps 4.1 AGPS "My Location" does not work. Not to be confused with GPS, which does work.

Bigs, I have made an OEM version of Google Maps 4.1 with PPCKitchen which has AGPS "My Location" working. If you like send me a pm and I can send this over to you.

First off, Big and Max, ya'll rock. This is much better than sense 2.5 and could quite possibly save Windows Mobile, if that is possible..

But I have noticed one thing though I have noticed that while receiving email, sense slows down considerably. At times while receiving it is fast but then at other times is slows down, sometimes so much that it is hard to edit widgets. On everything else it runs great, even running multiple programs. I just noticed this email thing now when I tried to download a bunch of email.. Anyone else having this problem?

just manually enter bootloader by holding volume down button, end key, and top power button simultaneously, then soft reset. It's kind of hard to do. I usually hold the stylus in my mouth. Or put this on your memory card:

Good luck!

If I remember correctly, VZW does maintenance on their servers Sunday night and I have problems before until Monday AM (don't know what the holiday does to that schedule). Good luck.

Thanks BiG for the reply and interacting with your community. The beta group and development of this mod has definitely paid off in spades. The overall ROM is working outstanding as well with using cabs and my own tweaks. I would have stuck with SPB MS 3.5 when I tried it out but nothing was integrated with the excellent sense software so I came back to 2.5 but can't stand the lag despite the excellent work the chefs here in ppc put in. This is literally the best of both worlds with a little bit of android flare and I can't wait for it to expand.

Yes please pass it on to max that reinstating the retractable option would be appreciated by many. I think more screen real estate is a positive thing especially for us wallpaper enthusiasts and having access to more info when needed with a soft button click is great way to accomplish this. Just like with Cookie's retractable slider option; some users will like it and some won't but the option enhances the UI/mod. Another suggestion I would have would be if possible to have an option to have access to allocate a sense 2.5 tab page to the 1st and 3rd widget pages. Example would be instead of using a page to customize widgets and things maybe you could slide to the sense calendar tab, or the sense twitter tab, or favorite people tab, and so forth.

Really the only minor glitch outside of landscape and orientation issues was trying to select a widget in edit mode. The options screen will select randomly instead of a pre-defined 2 clicks or something. Sometimes I drag the widget to another location and it opens the options after I let go of the widget or sometimes it takes tapping the widget several times. Also a couple of times I noticed after turning the edit mode off I was still in edit mode but it looked like the normal home interface. I had to soft reset so my widgets wouldn't move around when sliding to different screens.

All in all, wonderful work.

Verizon does no scheduled maintenance for any big Holidays (Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Superbowl)....

So, shouldn't be any maintenance tonight... but, that doesn't mean that the coverage in your area isn't great.. or, that there's an unplanned Outage for some reason...

You just gave my TP2 more life... thanks!!

I don't know if there is a cab or setting I need to set for SMS mode where icons won't overlap when the phone switch over to landscape mode. My facebook, email, and message icons keep overlapping the text message box when I rotate the phone horizontally.

flashed my first non self cooked ROM in forever. MaxSense is like a breath of fresh air. Actually made me NOT think about the EVO. Eventually I'll go that route...but this ROM may extend my WinMo time!
