Palm Threaded App ripped from wm6 rom

and works better
http://rapidshare.com/files/45496605/shogunmark_wm6_threaded.cab

Would I sound like an idiot for asking what this is?

It gives you threaded sms like on the Palm Treos. So basically when you talk to someone it looks like a chat window like AIM or something, good stuff! I am downloading and installing now

that was really fast! I love this app - thanks!

My girlfriend and I installed it and we no longer have the left soft key that says SMS. How do we fix it?

I just installed it and there is one problem:
On my device there are like 1500 Messages and it's importing them in Groups of 10. After each group i have to restart to get the next 10.
Is there any way to import all SMS?

yeah, I had to remap the softkey too. I used SKTools to edit it.

@Shogunmark
Can you let us know what the differences are between this version and your last version of this app?
Any difference between this final and the beta?
Thanks
Marc

too sweet
i will be testing this on my trip tomorrow.
i gotta make more friend that text message, preferable of the female persuasion. =)

does this version still have problem of 'recbar.dll missing' when trying to record a sound?

yes, recbar.dll still missing... i forgot about that... but will work on that issue...
I took out the sms softkey cause it gets on my nerves i always have to remap that thing, i guess i could always make a quick cab to renable it...
the app still looks the same, but some things that have changed....
MMS send was boosted to 600k.
you can now send mp3's via mms.
if you have a message thread open and that person sends you a message it will now alert you.
thats about all that really comes to mind, im sure my testers that had this can come up with more...

nice. thanks you.

Checking it out now.

Great work.

Hopefully this works out good on the mogul.. im crossing my fingers lol. does it look similar to the palm threaded app?

So i'm guessing this is a upgrade. I had a problem with SMS thread when my phone all of a sudden stop receiving text because i guess some went into my old text format somehow and the others i don't know where they went. Any idea if that's been fixed?

it looks exactly the same, they didnt change the look of it, they just fixed some bugs in it...

Looks the same as the previous version. Unfortunately, the annoying 'soft keyboard overlapping the text entry area' problem still exists. I wonder if Palm will ever fix it ...
Thanks Shogunmark.

this is the actual palm threaded app, it replaces the sms inbox on your phone, and works very well... the messages get stored in a different file in their own format...
ON ANOTHER NOTE, A QUICK WARNING
IF YOU HAVE MESSAGES IN YOUR REGULAR SMS INBOX THESE WILL NOT BE CONVERTED OVER INTO THE THREADED APP.. I WOULD EVEN SUGGEST BACKING UP YOUR CURRENT SMS INBOX IN CASE YOU NEED TO REVERT BACK (ALSO SUGGEST DELETING ALL YOUR MESSAGES IN THE OEM SMS INBOX TO HELP ON STORAGE SPACE)

sms problem, again...

I just updated my rom with the official update from HTC's website yesterday, all my text messages are fine under the touchflo 3d interface. However, when i click "show all messages" and it takes me to the windows mobile interface, i am only able to see the last message I SENT to the person. On the bottom corner it will tell me how many ever messages i have in my inbox, but only 1 message is displayed and it will be the last message i sent out....
Is anyone else having this problem? Help please!!!

bump anyone??

have you tried clicking on that 1 message? it should bring up the threaded conversation

yeah, its supposed to be threaded with WM 6+. you can go back to the other way by turning it off through Advanced Config 3.3
The only thing i don't like about the threaded messaging is if you look at a text from any previous day it won't give you the time it was sent/received, just the day.

SMS Moving & Folder Creation

Is there any kind of Manual Tool/Utility that will allow you to move SMS Messages from your Inbox and more to a User Created Folder
Example from Inbox >>> Personal

Anyone have any Ideas ?

The only way I know of to do that is with a 3rd-party app, like Jeyo Mobile Companion:
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...&deviceId=2182&platformId=30&productId=120007
It works great actually...the only drawback is that the message management is done from your PC, so you'd have to be connected to it to move the messages, etc. There's other apps that will do the exact same thing via the same method (i.e. connected to the PC), but that one is one of the best.
As for just being able to move the messages right on your handset to another folder, I haven't seen any methods or hacks for that yet, perhaps someone else here has...??

I'm not sure about the differences between WM6.1, and WM6.5, but in WM6.5 you can create folders in the Text Messages account (Tools>Manage Folders), and move messages to that new folder.

sirphunkee & ridolfo Thank you for your responses
And yes ridolfo too Bad my Sprint TP2 isn't running 6.5 that's exactly what I'm looking to do

not sure if this is what you are asking for, but if you just want to create a folder under the inbox, and manually move messages, then it has always been a feature of winmo, even since the pocketpc 2002/2003 days.
go to winmo's mail program (if using HTC manila, select all messages), then menu -> tools -> manage folders -> tap & hold on inbox -> new folder. then select the messages you want to move, and move them to the newly created folder.

maybe something to do with a rom or registry setting? sorry, no idea then..

Maybe it has to do with the threaded SMS implementation on WM6.1. You could try to disable that, and see if the menu becomes available (of course, if you value your threaded sms'es, you might not want to mess with it).

It's all good, thanks anyway I seem to recall this being possible on my old Wizard too, but I'm not sure. It's obviously not an issue of stability or anything else on this hardware, since it works fine for you, so maybe it's a carrier-specific thing..? Not sure why that would be, but I've seen plenty of other things disabled by this or that provider that made me scratch my head

Interesting...I never would have guessed that was it, but that seems to do the trick. I disabled SMS threading as described at that link (by registry hack, or Advanced Configuration setting in my case), and it then allowed me to chose the "Manage Folders" option in the menu. I created the folders I wanted under the inbox, then went back and re-enabled the SMS threading, and the folders I created remained in place, and I was able to manually move messages there at will, and retain my message threading as well. However, it did exhibit slightly odd behavior, in that always show the last received message as being in the inbox as well, even if you moved it to another folder, not sure why but I'm guessing it has to do with how the messages need to be handled for threading to be possible....I'll wait 'till I get some more texts and post back with the effects.

Try this:
Disable Touch Flo under Settings>Today>Items: Enable Windows Default, do a Soft reset. Then the "Manage Folders" option should work. Creat the folders you want. Then you can re enable Touch Flo and you folders should be there.

Messages folder takes decades to load

Hi,
I just transfered ALL my text messages (3642 text messages) from my Kaiser to my TP2 with PIMBackup. I restored everything successful and wanted to see if everything has been transfered correctly.
Now I have the problem, that the Messaging-App takes DECADES to load the messages (about 1800 text messages in my inbox). Seriously it takes about 5 minutes, until the "windows-busy-icon" disappears. The Message app included in the slider, which only shows the newest 25 messages, takes "only" about 5 seconds, which is fine.
I have to admit, 1800 text messages is a lot, but my Kaiser had no problems at all with that amount of messages. As soon as I opened my Inbox on the Kaiser, I was able to open the messages right away.
On the TP2 on the other hand, I have to wait 5 minutes, until all the messages are loaded, before I can open a text messages.
My Inbox I have set to "Classic Mode" not the "Conversation Mode" (which I think needs even more resources).
For me, this is a BIG issue, because I text a lot - text message and Email - THATS why I bought the TP2 and not the HD2, because I appreciate the hardware keyboard. But having a Messaging App that needs 5 minutes to load makes me wanna go back to my Kaiser.
Does anyone know a solution???
Thanks,
Don

By the way, if anyone knows a way how to create an extra folder (next to: inbox, outbox, sent items, drafts, deleted) in the messaging and email Apps, please let my know.

Don't store 1000 messages on your phone?
Also, dont close messaging through the task manager. If you leave it open it should open right away since everything will be cached.

When you're looking at your inbox, click the "menu" softbutton on the bottom right, then choose "tools", then "manage folders". Once there, you can create new folders or manage existing ones

Well, the reason I have this phone is, that I'm using it for business,... and for business it is essential to safe and store your messages and have em available at any time. I mean, this ridiculously expensive device should be able to manage this matter properly, just like crappy $50 phones or previous models of the TP2 (like the Kaiser).

Sorry, that looks like the HTC e-mail interface you're looking at there, you'll need to get to the underlying WM e-mail interface to do the steps I mentioned. There may be a way to turn just the HTC e-mail off (I don't know), but you can just go into settings and switch off sense altogether for a minute, then pull up e-mail and you should then have the options there.

I think that option is available when you are viewing your messages via WM messaging client. You can get there a coupe routes. Navigate to your text tab in Sense, click all message soft key. Also under start menu there is a text message option (two message bubbles) which will take you to WM messaging.
You could also store your messages in the cloud (Microsoft MyPhone or other) and download them when you need (I know its bothersome, but it would also be a solution to storing 1000s of messages at all times).
I'm going to try downloading the 3000 messages from my old WM phone and see how my phone reacts.

Hey Sirphunkee and Burtonsnow8,
thanks for the advices again, but no success so far, unfortunately.
I switched off Sense and opened the WM Messaging Client, and could see the E-Mail accounts, but as soon as I access it, it jumps back to HTC Messaging Client. Same for the text messaging.
When in WM Messaging Client, there menu only offers "Options" and "Delete". The Options didnt offer and folder management.
I also tried to access the WM Messaging Client by "file explorer", but same story, it always jumps to the HTC Messaging Client.
Is it maybe possible to do this by registry editing? Or somehow through Total Commander?
Really appreciating your help here guys!

There are a couple apps for disabling htc messaging, not sure which will work for you:

UPDATE:
Ok, seems like this is a problem of either Ark's ROM I'm using, OR the HTC Messaging Client. I just saw, that Ark just released a version of his ROM without the HTC Messaging client. Gonna test that one, next week.
@ burtonsno8: Thanks for the links, but Ark just released another ROM without HTC Messaging Client, seems like this would work with a fix. However, it would be interesting to know about your experience after flashing your 3k Messages on your TP2.

I see a lot of people having similar issues w/ HTC messaging, so Ark's new release should definitely be helpful.
I'll be testing out my msgs later tonight, because this also seems to be an issue of many users.

Just an update on this one.
ARK's ROM without HTC Messaging client helps, but is unfortunately no solution.
For some reason, when I import my text messages via PIM Backup on my TP2, the text messages are saved in the "Program" part and not in the "Storage" part of the Memory,... so after importing 3.600 messages, I have 2.1 MB of program memory left, hence, my device works in slow-mo.
This is weird, because this is different on my Kaiser, where text messages are saved in the storage part of the memory.
Is there a registry hack, which determines, where text messages are saved?

I have exactly the same issue.
Got around 1600 SMS which was fine with the original
Windows Messaging(TP2 - first original ROM) ,
but takes really long with HTC Messaging (TP2- newest original ROM).
Contacted HTC support only to have them advise me
to backup my messages with Windows MyPhone.
I'd really like to know if there's a registry hack to disable
the HTC Messaging, back to Windows Messaging
without any performance issue.
As i have no idea how to do this, would really appreciate
if anyone could let us know how.

Give this cab a try...I used a couple of different ones that did that same thing (disable HTC SMS app), this is the only one I can still turn up in my archives

Hi
Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664915
It helped me. It doesn't switch to WM sms client, it still uses HTC client, but it works now. Unfortunately, sollution from sirphunkee's post didn't work for me, and still that one has bugs.

Well, NONE of this will help, as long as the TP2 saves messages in the PROGRAM memory.
Like I wrote in my last update, after importing 3,600 messages I have 2.1 MB left in my PROGRAM memmory, while the the STORAGE memory is almost empty (120 MB left).
This was different on my other HTC devices,.. why does the TP2 save messages in the PROGRAM memory, that doest even make sense !?

So I'm using Josh's ROM and I'm having similar issues. This is what I posted in that thread with no replies...
"Anyone experiencing text message delays and freezes with this ROM? I have disabled Sense and installed SPB Mobile Shell. Threaded SMS and Exchange email from work. Very few apps. For some reason though, after I have a bunch of apps open, text messages won't open anymore or won't come in. Or they do and I cant open them. Sometimes I'm able to open the email (separate icon) and slide over to the texts, other times I can't. Using memclean to end all is a hit or miss as well. I find that I have to soft reset frequently, sometimes 3-4 times a day. At times, when I'm having a text conversation with someone, it will freeze up as well. I want to continue using this ROM because it's quite stable for everything else but this... Ideas anyone?
But, I've also noticed that these problems don't exist if I switch to the Sense 3D view.
Is this a WM6.5 issue or are there other forces at play beyond our knowledge?

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.

I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...

I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...

I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I thought I explained my problem, but anyway. Here is the log after trying to send clipboard contents by clicking "send clipboard" at the taskbar context menu. Hope this helps you.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?
