SMS like on a Treo 650?

I'm new to the whole WM on a phone thing but I'm starting to see some major differences that I'm not liking or need to get use to versus my Treo 650 namely the way it handles SMS/MMS.
On my Treo 650 my messages where kept together based on the person's name or number and I can see the whole conversation. On my Wing, each message is just that a separate message much like an email in Outlook.
Are there any programs that will allow me have my in format they are on the Treo or Google Mail? More or less chat style messaging.
Thanks

What you're looking for exists and works well.
Extracted (not by me!) from Treo 750 ROM, the messaging threader has some issue 'cos of it has been made for touchscreen device not for smartphones. By the way it does its job.
If you want this, let me know and I'll tell how to workaround the "little" problems you'll have using that.
PS: You can also search in the forum ftp!

Yes I want it! My T-Mobile Wing has a touch screen so I don't think that will be a problem!
Thanks!

threaded sms fix for wm6.0

for those too scared to flash to 6.1 (or have other reasons not to), here is a very intriguing method of getting the palm threaded sms to work quite well, not covering up the input area.
good luck.

Man thanks! was going to get rid of this thing, but now im loving it more by the day....

Threaded sms is nice, but if you don't get notified of them what's the point??
The palm threaded sms app ( i used codyppc's) is ok, but the notifications on my vogue at least, are so buggy that it's not practical. Using HTC theme, with HTC Home (sms counter) and half of the time it doesn't increment. S2U2 also doesnt' recognize new SMS when this threaded app is installed.

what apps do you have installed? what rom are you running?
the sms counter can mess up sometimes, but it has been my experience to work about 90% of the time.

Just have the stock ROM that came with the Sprint Touch.
my notifications start out working, then quit, then sometimes come back. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason - new message or new conversation don't seem to matter - i have done a hard reset and only installed the palm threaded sms app - doesnt' matter. I love it when it works, but...
Apps include:
- MS Live Search
- AC S2U2 .99
- Arcsoft MMS (still have hope)
- the MusicID app
- MemMaid
- Google Maps
- YouTube fix
- Full Screen Keyboard
- Sprite backup
- teh duttythroy Vista battery bar
- Opera 8.65

I use treo alert. And it works fine, for the sms issue. u can set it up like you want it....

does treo alert allow you to configure the sms counter in the HTC Home today screen plugin? I assume it probably doesn't but hoping it does. i'm looking at this, http://discussion.treocentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15006&d=1180917118, and it's hard to tell.

I dont think it do's. are you running the palm threaded sms hack>?

yes, running codyppcs threaded sms app - the one with the SMS softkey if that matters. love it when it notifies, but can't figure out why sometimes it doesn't. i have tried combinations of closing out of the app, having a totally different app open, putting the touch to sleep/hibernate, but it's never consistent.

I am having issues with the dragstlye sip hack. It seems to cutoff off the bottom row of keys and the majority of the second row with the standard sip keyboard. It also cuts off some of each of my other entry methods. has anyone figured out a fix for this?

The New GSmart U.I on the Touch Dual?

was reading an article over at coolsmartphone.com - http://coolsmartphone.com/news4008.html
The U.I looks really cool and was wondering if there was a way to get it for the Touch Dual? Cheers!

I believe that's a question for the Development board, not this one. I think I've seen something about that there ..

looks nice, shame it still links to the CRAPPY looking windows mobile apps, i wish someone would completely revamp the entire shell of windows mobile

Thanks!
Yeah! I also really long for something that would replace the ugly-ass WM apps, such as SMS/Email, Calendar, etc.. So if anyone find anything, please let me know

I had this working on my mine, but shifted to UL which is pretty awesome

same here ultimate launcher is brilliant. ive installed vito sms-chat and vito fun contacts too so its rare i see the hideous wm shell now

vito sms chat, how is it for you? I liked it but it created a new SMSfolder which I didnt like and SMS notifications wouldnt work anymore. On vito Quick contact, can you still pop out the software touch keypad? I mean I know we have the hardware slide out keypad but sometimes I like just using the touch screen.

sms-chat is fantastic. although you dont recieve the normal text alerts you should still hear your sms tone and a little semi-transparent window pops up in the centre of the screen with the sms info. In my opinion it is a lot better than the normal wm sms and even better still than the threaded sms in wm6.1.
Fun contacts works in such a way that you dont need to use the keyboard unless you are editing contact info and ive just confirmed for you that you can use the software keyboard as well as the hardware keyboard for this.
hope this clears things up for you

Will try to give vito SMS chat another trial. Thanks!

Try lord smiff threaded sms. I love it.

Grouping SMS

I have a Sprint Mogul (HTC 6800) and hear it was possible to now group the text messages with th ROM update.
I have searched but find nothing to support that claim, can anyone help me? That is one thing I do like about the Treo.
Or if there is a CAB then I am open to try it.
Thank you,

Try searching for Cody's Threaded Text, hell any threaded text for the mogul should work.

windows mobile 6.1 has a built in threaded SMS, but youll have to use a custom rom like DCD's, the OEM roms still use 6.0

From what I understand the Mogul now comes with 6.1 pre-installed if you buy a new one from Sprint. They should upgrade the ROM on yours for you if you go to a Sprint store that has a tech service department.
Otherwise, you'll have to look into a 3rd party application to do threaded SMS. I've been using SMS-Chat from VITO Technologies for a while now and I like it, though it does have a couple of glaring issues even with the latest 1.1 update. I have yet to try any other SMS apps tho.

You sir are wrong the only wm6.1 out for the mogul is a leaked official version the official version isnt coming out sprint wont but a non official version on your phone and Dcd's roms use a higher build of 6.1 than the leaked version.

as choco mentioned the sprint 6.1 rom is a leaked test rom, not an oficial release
also, theres no need to go to a sprint store, rom updates are downloadable from HTC's website

[REQ] Classic WM texting patch for Sense 2.5 (19222911.0)

hey there,
since using sense as Homescreen i was alway mad about these "modern" messaging clients (the odd manila texting that doesnt even count charakters & the slow HTC messaging client as u have on the LEO)
for now ma rom (valkyrie 5.4) has the ability to use the classic texting (via start -> text) and the "modern" manila texting via sense-> textTab -> click on message)
Even by tabbing "all messages" i end up in the classic wm-message listing.. (and thats nearly what i want)...
Is there kinda fix, that tabbing on a message would bring me to the classic WM -view (the coloured one)? I remember there was a manila file in sense 2.1 you just could replace and it worked..
but for now i need it for sense 2.5 (landscape ability).
Hope you can get my point.
Thanks in advance

Yes there is one. Search for Message fix, or here is the link.
Try my ROM out, it doesnt have messaging client in it...

thanks so far.
this patch only discribes how to enabel WM classic messaging.
By point is that i want to change the behaviour when tabbing on a message in the messaging tab of sense 2.5.
even with this patch above i end up in the htc contacts menu/sms tab.
and THATS what i want to be the classic WM interface.
as i mentioned, it worked somehow with a fixed manila file in 2.1 ....

Take a look at this thread
Look for the cab that includes Zenyee's tweak
It is a mod that install the messaging client from sense 2.1 to sense 2.5
This sense 2.1 sms client loads MUCH faster than the one in 2.5, looks way better than the WM sms client, and shows character counts
When you tab on All message it brings you to the classic wm sms interface
Granted it is still not perfect...but it works very well imo

hmm, thats really nice one; not the classic screen, but it works as well...
someone here who has already made a cab of it?
