First new Maxx split skin with main menu

[rasputin007]

OK, I have done it this time!
I have made a main menu (e/icon) for the Night-Maxx split skin for the Maxx according to the new split skin mma layout for the Maxx.
This skin demonstrates the advantage of the split skin concept to the best.
Why?
Let's say if the main menu icons were all inside the skin you would not be able to put it on your Maxx, even if you deleted all skins, all pictures, all audio files and all videos. You still would not have enough space to install the skin on a/.
Because it is BIG!
The skin itself, including wallpaper and external skin, is about 250 KB. Now each animated icon is about 400 KB and there are 56 of them, which brings the overall skin size to around 23 MB.
Thanks to the new and improved NVIDIA graphics engine inside the Maxx the animations are running at the speed they should. The V3x would struggle there.
The main menu animations are not brilliant, but they show the potential what the Maxx is capable of.

Just a note:
This split skin and the mma that comes with it can be used on a V3xx as well, apart from the external skin. All menus are working.
Another note:
All V3x split skins will work as well (again watch out for external skins) because the split skin structure has not changed, only the mma layout and some of the icon names.

This is awesome 007, you are secret agent status.

For all of you that do not want to waste 23 MB of their 64 MB e/ partition, but have that much space left on their TF card, here is the Maxx\V3xx split skin mma for the "b/icon" folder. You just have to create an "icon" folder on your TF card and copy the 57 gif files that usually belong to e/icon into it, then copy the attached mma into a/mobile/system and restart mobile. Runs just as fast as on e/icon.
With the added bonus that, once there are a few more Maxx\V3xx split skin main menu looks to choose from, have different once on different TF cards, so you can change the main menu look just by swapping the TF card. :yahoo:

Now we've just got to find/write a filemanager app for the Maxx where the file or folder names can be changed via the handset, therefore eliminating the need for hardware changes eg. swapping TF card, connecting handset to PC to rename files/folders etc.
