2010-08-03
hey guys it's brand amendment from pocket now calm windows mobile development from Microsoft may have stopped for the most part until the windows phone 7 comes out but that doesn't mean that the development of xda-developers hasn't decreased in activity in fact there's still a lot going on in the windows mobile world over at XDA developers new interface is coming out a lot of new awesome roms in this video we're going to show you the max sense UI built into an energy rom from XDA developers let's get to it now we've already covered the max sense UI in a previous video back in May but there have been a lot of changes since then so we wanted to film another video and show you what has changed so let's start off you're going to unlock the device and this is the unlock screen taken from the HTC HD Mini so if we had extra notifications we would see them down here but we can slide to a mock so what we're dealing with here is a lot of changes all of which really tap into sense 2.5 of the weather widget and the calendar widget and things like that for example this first screen which has widgets on it that you can customize if you tap on the clock there for five appointments it will take you into the standard HTC interface that's the sense interface so this may look familiar to you if you're running stock HTC sense let's jump back home the same applies to the calendar widget and let's say the weather if you tap on the weather you're taken into the beautiful sense tab the weather interface here with the weather animations very nice-looking and all of this is customizable we can also swipe to the left to see some widgets that are over here and this is a really cool widget it ties into the HTC favorite people modules so that you can flip through and see your your favorite people and from here you can choose to call them text message them send them an email right from this little cool widget up here we have an internet search tab kind of like you would get on Android and down here is a multimedia player so you can control music right from your home screen now if we go to the other direction we have a variety of toggle switches turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi again all of these are customizable I'll talk about that in a second but first I want to talk about what's going on up here in the taskbar we have the start menu button which sometimes is difficult open there it goes you can also of course use the start menu button on your HTC hd2 but all of these other icons are very easy to use so we can very very quickly turn on and off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth of course you can do it from this screen as well too so if we tap on the Wi-Fi icon we should get a pop-up that says Wi-Fi all for Wi-Fi settings and let's tap that again we can tap on the Bluetooth icon to turn on Bluetooth and you get the idea all of these icons do something different and over here on the right we have a task manager which will quickly let you turn on and off of variety programs have anything open right now so it's not showing me anything there so let's talk about customizing some of these widgets will go to a kind of empty screen over here and we'll press this button in the bottom right corner and click edit widgets again very much like Android so we can press the plus button let's say we want to add a clock and analog clock so here's the clock you can move it around or you can throw it in the trash bin again it's very much like Android but on your windows mobile phone extremely smooth and fluid and it taps into the HTC Sense interface which is just great and when you're done you can press the check mark and you are all set now another piece of functionality as we wrap up this video is here on the bottom if you flick this to the left you access your quick launch I guess application and you can swipe to the right and put a bunch of program icons here programs that you use on a regular basis so quite simply you tap on one of the shortcuts and this is the quick link so you can add people that you call on a regular basis you can add websites this may look familiar from the Home tab of HTC sense 2.5 so we can go to bookmarks and it will save a little thumbnail of the website if you've been to it let's go back to that and if you haven't been to it it'll just show you the standard stock little bookmark icon there so max sense UI is an awesome way to experience HTC sense in a different way and it's now being cooked into a lot of roms over on XDA Developers I'll post a link in the description to this particular rom that is an energy rom and it's very easy to install and it looks great please thumbs up this video if you enjoyed it and subscribe to our channel for more smart phone videos thanks for watching that's it for now
