hmm.. you are really into ROM Cooking for B7610 again. ;-) Thought you had a new device?

I was using sense for quite a while and became fed up. But I will definitly try it. And give a little feedback when I have time.
Maybe I begin to like sense again, who knows!

I'm sure there were a lot of requests regarding a german Sense Rom. Thanks for the hard work.

[Thunder141]

i have a new device. But there (HTC Leo) sense is on board and I am going to like it more than I'd done before.
And because there have been many requests in the past, i decided to give it a try for b7610, too.
I decided to keep it as a backup device. Can't really give it away ;-)
And so I am able to cook for it easier than cooking blind.

So sense is to try. It is not as loaded as other sense rom's and its performing smooth without cht installed. With cht installed, the memory limit is below 60 mb, which I think, is one reason for less performance.
But for daily use that will work either.

Just a question for understanding. Do you mean by 'no samsung settings' really just no settings or no samsung apps. So also no dialer and Xt9?
What is the intention just to leave the Samsung Settings?
Just curious...

[Thunder141]

in v2 samsung app settings is removed. Only windows default settings app is included. dialer is disabled but in rom, xt9 is also kept in rom

ok, I flashed your V1 Rom, and it runs pretty smooth.
No issues so far.
You said ameba is installed but I cannot find it. Maybe you forgot it? :-) In Utilities I just found AeButton, UC_Net, and Task Manager.
Its not bad for me, I would not use it, but just to let you know.

Will try to modify it a bit, wanted to try your link with the elegancia theme. If you like I could take screenshots too.

[Thunder141]

yes, you can make some screenshots. Ameba, i decided to let it out.

I'm kind of suprised, I always thought that editing the home layout would freeze the phone. That was the last thing I can remember using sense.
Was this bug solved? Because its working great. I'm using the 1.8.5.cabs you provided in your post with the elegancia theme.
Screenshots will follow...

[Thunder141]

i used the cab from ajeshm as a base for this rom. I tested it once when i build my first ultralite without chome and sense was working smooth without overclocking.
This rom has newer kernel and is a bit lighter, so sense will not perform worse with this rom, i think.
Of course it can not be compared with an original htc device, but for me it seems to be acceptable speed and much lesser freezes than with earlier sense versions.

Hi Thunder,
                 Gr8 to see you back. Any plan to make the same Sense ROM in English? I would like to try the same.

[Thunder141]

if the testing does not give any critical issues, i will make an english version, too. ;-)

By the way: I tried to replace the sense with version 2019 from xda from original wvga packages for a v3. It started on first boot. But when I change something  like tab order or disable a tab, the device does not restart sense. When I reset the device, sense is started again with my changes applied. Do yo have any idea, what could be the reason? Do you have this issue with your 2019 development, too?

And do you allow me to link to a mirrot of your rss-remove-cab?

@ Thunder: Congratulations for your first Sense Seems to be a great fusion of an UltraLight with Sense...

@ Cappuccuina: Can you compare a daskalos Sense with this one (I'm interested in speed of this SenseVersion) Maybe there is more performance with S3Clock?

[Thunder141]

wwe version will come tomorrow

I don't have this problem with my 2019 development. I generally go to settings -> disable it first and then enable it. Sense restarts fine. I also have a mortscript for the same which does it silently(non-CHT). CHT, the built in tool works fine.

Ofcourse you can link to the mirrors of my packages. No problem.

[Thunder141]

I do only have that issue, if I change something in sense settings, like the tabs. If I disable it in today settings end reenable it, it will start ok, but not, if i change settings. Then I have to reboot or to pkill the sense process.

And only with the 2019 source from xda. With the 2018 in this rom there isn't that issue.

Well, I can say it is really smooth and fluid, good to use. I tried also with overclocking at 900 mhz and you can feel a difference. But you might also not need to.
Though I have Cookies Home Tab installed now, it still works pretty responsive. But of course RAM is dropping down now to about 33 MB after using it a while.
But wanted to try the start menu replacement also. And see how much it stays with that.

Found some small things:
In Settings Tab the CommManager doesn't show any fonts except for Mobile Wifi Router, also the Menu Button is not working and there is no back Button.

And the Phone Settings + some others are in english.

Landscape is not supported by default, right? I did install the landscape-enable.cab from ajeshm from his Sense thread. And now works fine.

Here are some more screenies:)

Well thats it for the moment, will play around with it a bit more and investigate.
