I'm a CHT user and I love it. But just now, I've seen screenshots in another thread using MaxSense and they look awesome too. Going over it, it looks like it's only cooked in some ROMS for now. To tell you the truth, I haven't flashed to a custom ROM.
So, I'm opening this thread to ask your preference: CHT or MaxSense. What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of one over the other? Is it worthwhile to take the plunge and flash a ROM with MaxSense?
I am attaching a link with MaxSense video: http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/video-maxsense-ui-has-arrived-and-its-awesome
Any feedback is appreciated.
Well i go for Cht.
For 1 simple reason.
I have flashed my omnia so many times i lost track
Since a got my first Htc Tp2 i first want it to check it out.
But very fast i got the HD2 and never flashed my Tp2.
With the HD2 i found out i had a powerfull phone in my hand.
It is fast just the way i like it, so i never flashed it.
And i think i will never flash it.
Once i start flashing my phone i will get lost in it for sure again.
Maxsense sure looks great but Cht is just amazing.
Maby if i give Maxsense a chance it will be to.
But Cht....................I really have to say its fantastic.
@ all developers ... RESPECT and thx for all you do for us
Its a hard job and takes a hell of a lot of time.

Thanks for the feedback!
Got a question though. After flashing to a custom ROM, you can still apply some mods to it, right?
Both
Try the both...I have. Then you'll see for yourself which one you'll like better.

I always played with mods.
The great thing about custom rom is its made for speed
and eyecandy.
All the crap ( thats wat every one thinks for them selfs wat crap is) has taking out of the rom.
When i had my omnia i got seperate cabs for all apps and mods.
So when i flashed i decided wat was going on my phone and wat not.
Thats the great thing about custom roms.
Its made for speed ,memory and eyecandy.
Short answer ..... yes i always did put new mods after custom rom to
Greetz.
Thanks again for that reply!
One thing I like to add about CHT is that it has an excellent support for bugs and problems. For this reason, kudos to Cookie and his team! The thread has really gotten humongous but one way or another, they reply to your concerns once you post in their thread and give you some feedback or advice.
Will this be an issue with MaxSense if ever you encounter some bugs/issues in it?
For now, I too vote for the CHT.
But, you gotta have in mind that MaxSense is only 2 weeks old, and that it will improve more for sure.
They are also completely different in what they do. One is a homescreen modifier will the other is a full on new UI. I have stuck to Max's work since MaxManila and have had MaxSense since it was released.

Yup, MaxSense just came out but I get the impression that widget-wise, it offers more than CHT. One thing that amazes me is the favorite contact widget that you can scroll. Moreover, their widgets seem to offer easier customizations.
But certainly, CHT is still developing and will likewise make more improvements and introduce more features.
CHT is available for everybody, MaxSense with WWE ROMs only (as of now).
Furthermore, CHT in the latest version has received a major upgrade in functions, they are both on par in my opinion.
When you love customizing your home tab, I think CHT is stronger - there are many more choices available.
Personally, as I prefer ROMs in my language, and as a Manila "modder" (love all my clocks...), I will stick to CHT definitely.

I'm not familiar with Max at all as I just got my HD2 recently and had an HTC Polaris before with SPB Mobile Shell.
But I think I get you on this, I think. Am I right in saying that CHT is a Sense mod while MaxSense is not? So, it boils down to if I'm willing to stick with Sense or not? If yes, then CHT, if not, MaxSense?
Motorcycle or Ferrari?

Which is the motorcycle, which is the Ferrari?
I'm going to say CHT as well. Personally, I'm using CHT 1.8 and Max Ultimate together, and I must say it's treating me well.
As far as I know CHT does not modify the tab structure of manila or really how you get from tab to tab. MaxSense no long has a tab structure so to say. You still have the pages but how you get to them is through widgets or a tabs selection page. There is no longer a slider in MaxSense.
I've been amazingly impressed with every iteration of CHT - it's amazing on every level and the mod of the year (imo).
MaxSense is an incredible adaption, and I enjoyed it for three days. However because of how new it is there were too many bugs for me to use as a business phone just yet, and I also had issues with the alarm clock not going off, which is not handy during a busy week at work!
But give MaxSense another few months and it has the potential to blow us away! I particularly liked: The scrolling wallpaper (which CHT 1.8 has also introduced), the widget potential, and the Android-y look.
My strategy is to love the pants off CHT for the time being, but try MaxSense every 6 weeks or so to see if/when it steals my heart
One question. If you flash to a ROM with MaxSense, can you still run CHT? I know that it's not the case the other way around, i.e. CHT is not compatible with MaxSense. Am I right?
no either way.

Many of you have been very generous, so I'd like to get some input on what you guys want me to work on next...
I'm not really to excited about porting other peoples work... but if you guys really want something, i can.
To-Do
CM6 Red Theme - framework
-Themed apps, stock icons​-Themed apps, themed icons​
Make more red sense icons
sense sucks(except for some of the widgets) so dont worry about doing anything w/ sense...as much red as we can get for cm6 would be great...i would try to do some stuff w/ the status bar like changing the 3g/wifi icons, the time, also i like that battery icon that was on your other red customization (the circular red one)...just a few suggestions, i will try to think of some more...thanks dude, your stuff is badass!
I'd like to see red or maybe even yellow for the sky raider rom. I actually like sense just don't like how the launcher looks on it. Anything would be appreciated though. Thanks for the themes and keep up the good work

You Rock!
jb you are theming everything. I want to thank you for everything. What about putting together a sense 2.2 theme (red)?

I'm kinda leaning toward theming that Rom... 2.2 with sense is pretty nice, plus I don't see issues with cm6 getting fixed anytime soon. Im so torn between the two roms, cm has trackball wake and customization for long pressing the home button but the new 2.2 rom has internal storage and may have a working camera soon.
I should've put a little more thought into that poll... opinions anyone?
I think you should work on the most functional roms first. That way your time won't go to waste, you'd be theming a Rom that no ones going to be using. Thinking you should really go with sky raider for now.
And I agree about the launcher on sense its the main reason I don't use sense ui. Wait till a real stable cm 6 comes out then make a bada** theme for it.. ill get your kid some nice power rangers if u do!
Thanks for your hard work, Great themes!
Definitely Blue/Red for CM 6.
I think as the bugs are worked out over the next couple (few?) weeks, a lot of people will be moving over to Cyanogen.
Also, thanks for your hard work.
DarchDroid
I would love a DarchDroid like theme, black/silver.
How about a pink or purple theme, similar to your red/blue themes?
My room?
I'll be getting CM6 as soon as the bugs are worked out and it would be great to have a red theme for that.
+1 to red CM6...Cyanogenmod's gonna be HOTTT!! Verizon made the highlights red, so its only fitting...Dark status bar with a transparent window!
Sorry for my absence, I am finally feeling healthy. Looks like it's gonna be red for CM-6. I'm starting a to-do list on the op so i can prioritize, so if you want any of those custom icons please remind me...
I recall that someone asked about handcent and pandora...
Also, I need three testers who can thoroughly test these cm themes... I need people who have great attention to detail and a lot of time. PM me if you can meet those qualifications.
Cm red theme is coming along nicely....

What are the chances you could package a red themed NexusMod live wallpaper with your red theme? In particular the wallpaper from the droid. That would be sick, and I can't find the damn wallpaper anyway.
Yeah id like neural network too. Or maybe ask koush to port it? He's the one that got the nexus wallpaper working on the Droid months ago, it never loaded until he came along.
My girlfriend would freak if you could make an all purple theme and I told her I would but it wouldn't get done until the next major android update comes out. She saw this thread and begged me to post to ask you. Thanks.

Chances are slim, unless you can get me the source code for it... then i may be able to hack it, but that would take me forever since i have no skills
Of course, if you use CM roms nexus mod is included.

I'd just like to point out that you have excellent taste in music.
So as we all love the roms in this forum I stumble upon this rom set. I would like to see these ported to our Dinc phones as I think the themes absolutely kick ass. I like them both however I would love to see the Bluetopia ported. Here is the link to check out what I am talking about. I fsomeone can do this a considerable donation would be coming from myself. Although I am sure donations would come from many on this one.

Porting the rom would be ridiculous, especially considering some of it is broken and would be too much work making it functional for the incredible. If it is just the theme you want, that's easy to pull, but I'm downloading it right now to take a look at it.
That is correct. I would like that theme. but I would like to see it cooked into a rom you know. Please let me kow once you have looked at it. Cheers...

Whether it is just ported over as a theme to be flashed/metamorphed or its "cooked" into a rom, it is the same. a flashable theme is much more convenient, since you are only replacing files in your current system, as opposed to wiping and starting over just to gain different aesthetics in the same exact rom, and having to go through the annoying process of setting back up again for basically nothing. Right now, I am about to try it on SR 3.3.3 and see how it goes, then in Desire Z rom. If all goes well, I'll post it in the themes section and let you know, otherwise I will post failure here and let you know if it isn't working lol.
Well for the most part, in SR 3.3.3 it seemed to work. Everything functioned and almost all of the theme elements were there. But it was definitely incomplete. For one, most incredible roms incorporate smooth sense icons. The theme does not have this since it is from the desire, so that creates an issue because only 5 of the 100 battery icons were themed lol. same with the sync icon. For some reason the signal bars did not change even though I ported the com.htc.resources also. I think a couple system apps did not theme (People app for sure, not sure what others) and the dockbar was espresso style but did not have the themes color. I'm sure there were other missing elements but as it stands, this will become too much work for me to correct, especially since more people will want it on different roms, which means porting and troubleshooting those as well.
Thanks for your attempt. If I may ask one request can you please post the Expresso bar and lockscreen with the black clock in an update.zip form. Those are the 3 elements that i would really like to have. I appreciate it once again.
Cheers,
Shokouhi

Developing cool stuff i know myself it was ANOYING AS HELL to have to start all over again when we got 2.3.3 so maybe some of them just didn't take the plunge .
i mean to have an AWSOME theme for 2.2 or 2.1 then having to REDO the whole thing ( Demoralizing To the max )
Pvy.
+1
And then a lot of the 2.3 roms kept geting updated with features that would make us have to redo the theme again if we had made one...
I guess I'm a "real theme maker"... I have a few things coming for WB and then TEAM rom.
*Edit- There are actually several nice themes here for 2.3 if you look.
But I guess not quite as many as there were for previous versions of Android.
id love to pull something off for WB's rom.......every update it gets better.......id love to make one even just for myself (but of course id share).........
just hard to find time
Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I posted in this forum! I have been using my HTC Hero again to refresh on my android theming. It's been awhile since I had any custom themes on it. Right now it's rooted and it's stock. I am just wondering what are the most current of themes that I can put on it now and where do I get them?
I know how to install them but I have ran into a few issues a few months ago trying this process because the themes I found we're not compatible. I was wanting to have vanilla unlock again. I also really want a really awesome black and neon green theme. If anyone could point me in the right direction to get started back in all of this again, I would gladly appreciate it! Thanks in advance for everyone who responds!

I had good luck running Cyanogen Mod 7, although it got slower as time went on (6 months). As for themes, if I remember correctly, the Go Launcher, etc., had some themes that were black and green (for accessibility). I also tried Zeam launcher and I liked that.
