For those of you who are playing with WM6.1 have you been messing with the threaded txt? I have used the troe version for so long I admit I miss some stuff.
Mainly the new threaded app doesnt tell me how many characters I have typed so I don't know when I have went over the 160 limit.. I have also noticed that sms backup doesn't seem to work correctly it backs up my txt messages and when I restore them they r missing and not threaded.
Another thing I like about threo threaded is MMS/SMS are all together instead of seperate..
Last thing is the txt don't have dates next to them. They have time but no dates. I like to scroll back and know what day and time something was txt to me.
Anyone else got any complaints?
Maybe some of these things can be corrected with a addon or something.
you can see how many characters at the upper corner.
I two think PALM did a better job.
I agree
Me myself being a Treo 650 owner and a hacked threaded sms user on my 8525 would have to agree the WinMo 6.1 threaded sms falls short.
No smilies
There is a short delay when sending msgs
No timestamp(with dates)
When restoring from PIM backup msgs are missing/ out of order....I can only see the msgs I've sent not the msgs I've received.
This may sound like a little nit-pickery going on but hell M$ has had a lot of time to get this minor detail right....

You can't be too surprised that MS half-assed this as they have half-assed every other Windows Mobile product for the last 5 years. MS doesn't care about Windows Mobile. Sad, but true.
I'm already messin with the ripped treo app again since it combines MMS/SMS together but the HTC Home Plugin shortcuts don't work after I install it..
Something simple so I'm gonna try another version of the htc today plugin and hope that it works..

I have a Wizard, but I think this will help you anyway.. You have to create a shortcut to \Windows\messagingapp.exe. I think currently, the HTC shortcuts (and even the button for me) was set to messaging.exe. After you create the shortcut for it and add it to your start menu, you should be able to map it to the button.

Yes, I've finally gotten around to looking into this whole cab making malarkey and while this is an existing one customised to fit my needs, it's a good learning curve
It's the palm threaded SMS app and it just plain rocks - really
So anyway, I've tested this on WM6 (Black 4) and it really works. Everything is already set up in this for using with T-Mobile and MMS works too! It integrates nicely with the HTC homescreen and includes a custom alert tone (hope you like it! )
Just to make sure the install goes OK, please use the task manager to stop the messaging \ poutlook \ tmail processes before you run the cab as I believe this could cause problems.
You will lose your existing SMS and MMS messages in the standard messaging app so if you want to keep them, use PIMBackup first
It's a fantastic app and I recommend giving it ago and if you're on T-Mob, I've just made it a little easier for you
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Good point! Nice work on the cab Lord but some reassurance would be fantastic
Service provider?
Have installed it and its quality. I can't send mms though. In the settings its set to cingular. I've got the tmob settings bar the centre number any ideas?
screen shot
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/18/treo-750v-threaded-sms-mms-app-hacked-for-all/
looks like that
I'm looking at it now - I did test it on mine first but I think it probably kept the registry settings when I uninstalled it and re-installed it.
As for uninstalling...on my T-Mobile UK MDA Vario II, it uninstalled perfectly and everything reverted to the standard messaging app...BUT, as with anything like this, please don't just take the poster's word for it - use PIMBackup and and back it all up first!! It will most likely work OK, but...sh*t happens ;-)
Smiffy.
Thanks man. Your word is always good enough
OK, there were 2 places in the registry where the MMS settings were stored and I only changed 1 but it's sorted now (tested 3 times ;-)
And no, my word isn't good enough ;-) Back it up!! :-D
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Fixed and fantastic
Think this will quite possibly be the first cab i'll install after future flashes. Intelligent fuctionality.
Cheers Lordsmiff nice work
Forgot to say that when i uninstalled first version my old sms and mms were still there. When i reinstalled the new ones reappeared. Like lordsmiff says back up just in case but it didnt completely remove messages only temporarily when using the app.
You're right, it doesn't remove the old messages, it just uses a different message store but, at the risk of repeating myself ;-) back it up anyway
Which reminds me - if you want to reflash your device and then get all your threaded SMS messages back, you need to backup a file in the Windows folder called "PalmMsgV001" and also a folder in Windows called "MMS"
The file has all the text messages and stuff in and the folder has all the images etc from MMS messages in (I found that out the hard way )
Copy those two to your storage card and then back after a reflash to have everything back in threads
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Moved to rapidshare at mod's request
Anyone have any ideas where better to put it as I know some people (myself included) can't get them during working hours...damn those proxys
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Is it possible to install this threaded sms cab then alter the network settings by installing one of the available operator cabs or does the setting need to be entered manually?
Thanks.
i havent looked at lordsmiff's version... but if its anything like the ones i posted there is a possible issue of mms not working if you enter the settings manually... but his could be different...
There's not much chance of it being too different - it's based on your cab
If you want me to mod it for your provider, I can do that for you
Just PM me the connection details and I'll see what I can do
Cheers,
Smiffy.
i had another thought if you wanted to run with the idea.. i go back to work today so my time is going to be limited again.
The original version where based on the sprint connections, when i extracted all the files from the cingular treo rom and dumped the registry i compared them, i noticed all the reg settings were pretty much the same except for 2 lines and of course all the provider settings. But im thinking that if we left out the hard coded provider settings and allow the user to enter them manually that this may stop the "sometimes" apparent connection issues with MMS. So basically have a generic threaded cab with no provider settings hard coded at all... and if someone wanted to feel ambitious enough they could make cabs with just the hard coded reg settings for different providers (not the whole app)..
Hi!
Sounds great! Can it also be used for a other provider ? If yes; how do I know my settings ?
Does it show a alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

I really love this app and would like to go back to it. MMS has always worked for me when using shogunmarks version but I think its limited to 300k.
Since your offering lord would you make one for AT&T?
I linked the settings I would have just posted them here but didn't want to miss something so I linked the main page for you.

One thing everyone should know when using this app is if you use any kind of app that closes programs like HTC Task Manager for example you need to add the Palm Threaded app to the exclusive list so it does NOT close when pressing x.
What happens a lot of times is most people write their txt msg and just click the x but with the threaded you have to wait until the msg is actually sent.
So the app should be running most of the time..
Hi,
What about the new sms notify; does it show an alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

so ive searched...and cant find it. whats the solution for spitting the mailboxes of the sms and mms. Is this from the arcsoft 4.0? anyone?

I dont think there is a way to split it. it's just like that in newer rom versions.
Maybe you want to try Palm threadded application, its pretty cool...
The palm threaded app is wicked nice. I was always disgusted how my 8525 handled messages.

here u go. just don't use the automatic settings if u don't have at&t.
I've read the thread, but I still don't understand what this does. I've never had a Palm, or anything other than PPC's. I use an 8525.
I would love to see the text messaging improved. What does this do?
I really learn a lot from this forum.

This is the Palm Threaded Messenger. Chat style SMS and MMS.
It was taken from the Palm 700WX (I think), which is a WM5 Palm Treo on Sprint.
I am using it now on my 8525, running Black Majik and Radio 1.47.
Hope This Helps,
Jim
how do i uninstall this palm treaded sms?
I couldn't remove the Palm Threader. I had to manually delete the files. I installed the Shogun version (which is conisderably smaller) and seems to work just fine. The Palm one is 4Mb. The Shogun cab is less than 1Mb. And it removes without issue.
ive uninstalled the The Shogun cab. but its still there. how can i remove it?
Thats funny with teh at&t rom that the pandora kitchen is based on the MMS and SMS is seperate and I would like to join them again, if I use the htc today screen and clck on the email button it takes me to MMS now its lame

me new rom uses mms 4.2.x.x with split MMS and SMS. its in beta, if you plan on testing it please provide feedback on the 4winmobile forum.

Difference...
What is the difference between shogun_cingy_Threaded.cab and the palm app besides the size?
I tried to remove the palm app but it appears to still be there.
Where are the files for the palm app?
Just curious, thanks.
yes its aa program
do a google search on SMS bubbles youll find the cab
I would like to disable them... The sms bubbles should not pop up when you're in an SMS session! Oh, and if you get 3 (sometimes 2) or more text messages you cannot hit "Dismiss" you have to hit View!!!! grrrr
Take it- its lastest version. Here is homepage.
Thank you. I did find that one in my search but wasn't sure it was the same.
Is there a way to make the bubbles pop up but not show what the text message says? Because this can get you caught when ur with another female lol

I'm using it on wm6.1 and it works great!
Thanks to the one who uploaded the cab
Question...
I installed the cab on 6.1 and it works fine however when the bubble pops up the left hand option (I think) is "SaveRead" whereas in Ookba's 6.5 ROM it was "Reply". Does anyone know why it's different and if there's some setting I'm overlooking to have it be "Reply"? Thanks.
I'd just be happy if the 'bubbles' didn't pop up in the middle of a conversation!

I am having all kinds of problems with SMS bubbles on my T-Mo Gash 3G with WM 6.5. Leaking memory, screen refresh issues, etc. I finally had to uninstall it.
I'm going to try disabling SMS threading and then reinstall to see if that helps.

Sms functionality is very limited on TP2. Should we install some 3rd party program like Vito or implement our own?
Anyone? lets talk about it
limited? what's so limited aboot it?
i think the sms/MMS is klunky to use. but this is coming from a smartphone user. im a noob to the ppc world
i think the sms/MMS is klunky to use. but this is coming from a smartphone user. im a noob to the ppc world but love my touch pro 2
Be more specific. What is klunky.
I will tell you what limited, in regular prog you cant delete individual msg, you dont see how many symbols you type and etc. SMS SUCKS at TP2.

cant delete individual msg? Turn off Threading (try reading the Tips and Tweaks thread)
Dont know how many symbols?? mine counts fine, ^ counts as 2 characters.. hmm.. IF by "regular prog" you mean in the TF3D reply window, then yah that doesnt have a counter.
Why do you need it to count text for?? If you need to type any more than 160chars, it will be sent as 2 messages.
anything else that you wanna consider as SUCK?
is this your first WinMo phone?
I personally don't like the TF3D SMS interface so I use good ol WM interface when I have a threaded message open. It shows in the taskbar how many characters you've typed & if you want to delete an individual message you just use the arrow keys & move to thw one you want to delete & choose the option in the menu.
Very oftently you dont see sent msg in TF3D, but you can see them in wm msg. IT sucks and very slow.
I have a deep and unabiding hatred for the TF3D SMS application, and I hope someone figures out a way to make clicking a message in TF3D go directly to the WM SMS app at some point.
anyone can resolve this issue?
i have an issue with hitting back (used to it being send) and i hate the send button because for me it is very laggy usually .. when i need to fire off a bunch of messages real quick the system almost freezes up ... not very productive and alot of times i cant tell if its sent or not because it takes to long to load my reply on the thread..
touch pro 2 sucks, most sluggish phone i ever worked with, i think i will sell it.
Is there a way to go back to Sense 2.1 SMS messaging. Sense 2.5 new HTC SMS is ok..but i prefer 2.1's look. it's quicker and easier to manage texts.
I know there's a way to disable the new 2.5 SMS but i don't like Pocket Outlook's simplicity look.
ROM I have is in my sig by the way

thanks for the quick reply. seems someone got it working on their TP2. but now everyone's getting a stuck in outbox bug after a day of use. too buggy for now..hopefully soon it'll be fixed. tolerate 2.5 for now :\
i havent experienced this lag everyone complains about. but i do have one annoyance. when im typing a text itll randomly select a text message a few messages above. its not enough to dump the much better htc mms client over the old crappy arcsoft one. and finally a character counter again. theres little things all over manila i feel arent exactly complete though. maybe in the next update...
