Is there a finger friendly messaging application like the silverinbox on the Omnia, or can someone write one.
This would be very useful for win mobile 6.1 but it look like 6.5 messaging will not be updated, Silverinbox is absolutely brilliant but has some bugs.
Messaging seems to be the only application on Windows mobile that has not had a third party finger friendly application written for it.
Many thaks
I agree with you too. I have looked all over and can not find a good messaging finger freindly app. The best thong I've found is SmileySMS which makes '' into faces and also makes the messages into bubbles like an iphone.
Vito sms-chat is very smooth and fingerfriendly
The thing is I hate threaded SMS and it looks like SMS-Chat uses threaded SMS only.
I was going to post up this same question. Silverinbox is plain. VITO SMS-Chat looks too cheap. I want to see something like iContact for messages. Put the picture of the contact in the list also. Good topic.
how in the world can you hate threaded sms...i hate when im having multiple convos and have to go back to the inbox to see what the last person text me in order to reply...sms-chat is prolly my number one program...along with all the other vito tech stuff...you should def not knock it till you try it!
this isn't the place for questions
please refer to the Q&A section
thank you

Which one do you prefer? Or is better? Please state your reason

For me, WM6.1 SMS threading wins this one. Unfortunately, not everyone can experience WM6.1 on their phones..
Reasons:
1. It's integrated/built-in the OS (not 3rd party).
2. You can click on the name of the sender and get options.
3. Automatic truncation of long threads (saves memory and avoids longer load times)
4. Flick and scroll support for TouchFLO devices.
CONS:
1. Simple GUI (but that could be a PRO too if you're minimalistic and wants everything simple and fast).
palm sms.. its quicker then 6.1 sms threading. its better. its better..and its better
my reason is native program for sms not memory usage.
I've only used palm and pocketcm but I honestly haven't liked either one, I don't like how pocketcm is integrated with the contacts, if it was just a standalone threaded sms then maybe I would like it more, expecially since it has themes and I didn't like the palm threaded for a couple small reasons, like even if the phone is on silent it still vibrates if the message is open, you have to scroll up after you went down to find someone to text, and a couple small reasons along those lines. But Im hoping to get 6.1 some day.
i believe there is a cab for wm6.1 sms ....along side of wm6.1 sms..does it work with the touch? since it has no keyboard...only touchscreen buttons...with palm sms...it blocks what you type..

That one looks good, but like I said I want one where it is ONLY the threaded sms, no contacts or anything, and Yeah if there is a link to 6.1 threaded that would be awesome.
Why is it so hard for someone to extract the 6.1 threaded msg app?? I'll pay for it...someone just do it.

Don't think it's that easy, if not there would be one by now.
Either wait or upgrade to custom firmware 6.1 if your handset have one.
Has anybody had any problems installing the palm threaded cab? I tried it today and whilst it seemed to install ok after installing I could not find the app anywhere to use.

They extracted the Palm SMS from WM5/6. Can't see it being that much harder. Still, I don't think anyone's even tried. I've yet to hear someone give a reasonable excuse as to why it's not been done yet.

I second that. I'd chip in like $5 or $10 to get it ripped. I just want integrated threaded SMS (not Palm SMS).
I'll try and find the files. I think that they are integrated into the shell though, so it might be difficult to install them as a cab.
palm messenger
i noticed key lag when usin the integrated threaded sms 6...maybe thats just my tytnii
bump please.

I've never posted here because I respect the hard work that goes on, by a bunch of very talented people, enough to do as the description of this board suggests and not post because I am not a 'developer or die hard techie'....
But.....
That post dude! Bang out of order.... If its that easy then please feel free to come up with your own solution, then you can trot back here and post all you want. Please dont stamp your feet and demand results with stuff like "I've yet to hear a reasonable EXCUSE" and remember that most of these guys are doing this for pocket money at the most and totally free at the least.
If I've miss-interpreted what you've said and you are a developer then accept my apologies but I know which horse my money's on!
So how do you guys like the VITO SMS-Chat anyways? I have the 6.1 threaded SMS and I wanna see if the SMS-Chat will be better (or at least flashier)
Why the hell has no one made a touch SMS program?
I HATE the one that comes with pocket PC with a passion.
I agree with you a million percent. I've used vito sms and pocketcm but they both annoy me...slow and inconvenient (in my opinion. I know there are a lot of happy pocketcm users )
Anyway, I'd be willing to pay for a skinnable sms app if it was exactly the same as the existing one (ie: has got the same menu..sms/mms, windows live, outlook etc, but just looks a LOT nicer)...so if there's anyone out there
Honestly, i'd pay too, and i haven't paid for any of my software for years.
as much as everyone will hate me for saying it. Id love to just see icontact with there version of threaded sms. not a huge fan pocketCM for some reason. but atleast they have threaded sms
Yup, people ar going to "hate" you for it. LOL
The big plus for iContact is its speed for the basic duties of looking people up and dialling them. It is a phone in the first instance.
I have both installed and use both depending on what i am looking for.

haha! yea. me too. I even created a CM theme that looks identical to icontact. it's a genius program.
I´ve found IContact V.0.5, and I'm using since that. The must is that with only two strokes I can match a contact and make a phone call, or iniciate one SMS, this is in my opinions the basic concept, and remain like this.
If somebody want to put in one application, contacts, sms, mme, phone call, outlook, opera, netfront, picsel, wifi, gprs, and ..... they are free, but don't complain about the monster.
PCM with all those screens and options to do this and that, might real good, no complains, but too much ways to reach a simple thing, find one contact
One more thing, what's the ideia about a finger friendly SMS app. ?
Menu ? Keyboard ?

Finger friendly, maybe not - it's finger friendly already I guess, but there's a loooong way to go appearance-wise. Something like iContact but for sms (a separate app) would be perfect. That way the styles match, and if it were to have the same qualities as iContact would be fast, simple, customisable and very convenient.
The windows one isn't very finger friendly.
Something like the iPhone's SMS program.
Greetings,
I am issuing this request (maybe to A_C) for a program code named Slide 2 Switch. It is essentially an AltTab program where it prioriztizes the programs youuse. So if you open File Explorer and then settings it gives file explorer 2 and settings 1. So if you slide your finger from left to right it shows priority 1. If you slide your finger from right to left it shows lowest priority. is it possible to build somehting this simple? I am not that good at coding but making some animation would make it cool to. Thanks.
since we are requesting for A_C great S2x programs, i would like a S2R, a reading threaded sms program =) i use sms-chat now but its slow to start =/
S2C contacts would be nice too
actually, if all my programs were S2x i would like even more my phone =D

why not buy an iPhone ? No, just a joke, I really love A_Cs apps too. But think further: If everything looks like Apple / iPhone, whats the use of it ? Although it might be skinable it is just a copy of what Apple has achieved. In fact, there are lots of apps with lots of potential - but most coders don´t care any about usability or interface design. A_Cs apps are, amongst others, popular because of the UI. But please, just take a look at apps like PointUI: simply genius UI, and it does NOT look like iPhone !
regards,
Martin
Wow! This is literally like the 5th thread I've seen in the last month with "S2*" requests.
PM A_C!!!
Agreed, theres no need to make a thread for requesting stuff. Just Private message the guy!
Hey,
Does anybody have the .CAB files to load all the Treo 800w enhancemens on the Treo PRO, or do the old Treo 750 CABs do the trick?
Thanks!
Please provide more info on the functions you're talking about. There are numerous websites that have some stuff ported from the 800w to the Pro.
If you're more specific it's easier for people to reply.
Also have a look: HERE.

Hey, Thanks!
Wow, there are tons of cool enhancements.
1. The front page picture and tab speed dial.
2. The menu popups for the today screen softkeys instead of having them launching apps. This is probably what I like the most.
3. The threaded SMS app. Sure WM6.1 has it, but this is separate from email and includes images for incoming SMS and smileys.
4. The dialer app seems to have a front today space for dialing, a different dialer and different skins for incoming calls an the incall app.
I think those are it.. If there are any more I'm missing, let me know.
Again, thanks.
My device is with Palm atm so I'll probably jump on as soon as I have it back

YES YES, i will love it when one of you can put up a cab for the text + smileys
Treo Pro Picture Dial
Hello all,
I am sure it is probably somewhere on this website, but I can't find it. Can the Picture Speed Dial plug in be loaded onto the Pro?
Thank tou for any help.
I guess my needs are a bit simpler. I like the built in sms portion of Outlook, just need smileys. Coming from a 700Wx with the Palm sms beta app, i definitely miss the smileys and so forth.
Is there any way/hack/cab to get smileys into the default sms app without having to replace it? I'm definitely digging the MMS (old 700wx never had that no matter how many hacks i tried)

Great!!! look forward to seeing the improvements gksmithlcw
Right i have been looking for a good contacts app for ages to replace the stock one, i have tried many the most recent Inesoft Phone Trial and Yota Contacts but are really what im looking for but Inesoft Phone has come close - except that the photos for contacts look too blurred and i cant find a way of fixing it. well i was wondering what Contacts apps you people use and would you recommend them?
For quick and smooth contact management with low memory occupation: iContact Avian
Downsides : not UC compatible
For features and customisation : PocketCM. It's also a pretty good sms replacement app. Just a bit jerky on old devices and memory hungry.
thanx i will give them both a look, any other options?
Resco Contact Manager is my favorite app

Recommend SEARCH and TRIAL, or do you want to have the others looking for you ?
i have searched, i tried LOADS: Resco Contacts - couldnt get my contacts to show even though they were on phone, icontacts didnt really like. and i just want to see what other people use just in case i missed one
i use Iconsoft PhonEx as my contact manager and dialer. very pretty, easy to use just turns in to a ram whore after a few phone calls. hoping the developer fixes this problem but still a nice app.
i'm using vito funcontact and vito sms-chat.... both integrate well to replace the default contacts and sms interface.
I can really recommend Resco Contact Manager 2nd Edition... Beatiful and fluid UI with lots of nice features, including threaded SMS, linking contacts to facebook lets you grab info & contact pics directly from facebook and everything is very fingerfriendly.
Also using Iconsoft PhonEx, it's just awesome.
