Hi!
I, like many else have been looking for a good SMS-program with threaded SMS capability.
It looks like the waiting time is over, Vito Technology has finally released SMS-chat!
http://www.iwindowsmobile.com/
I have been using the app for 3 days now, and i really love it. Nice animations, fast loading time and even replaces the ugly "new sms" bar that pops up when new sms arrives with a new good looking one.
The app works seamless with FunContact, that also can be downloaded from the same place.
Too bad it ain't freeware though.... but I'm buying it!
Anyone knows how to assign the SMS-icon on PointUi to the SMS-chat app? I've added a shortcut on Favourites, but thats 2 touches on the screen, not 1, LOL
could someone create a .cab of the free trial? i'd love to try it, but cannot install via activesync
Cheers!
looks good btw
- edit - worked it out for myself lol - i've attached the files if anyone else wants them. Not sure which ones you need to install, so attached both

Thanks so much!
There is currently a problem with this app...
Your SMS audio alert disappears!
I uninstalled it because I believe my vibrate disappeared too. Something to do with the fact that all SMS messages are diverted to a different Inbox (If you uninstall, remember to move all your SMS messages back into their correct folder.
Vito assure me that the vibrate works correctly and the audio alert will be fixed in the next version.
Shame they didn't work when it was released! An easy thing to check you'd have thought
Could it be skinned?
Looks a little bit ugly
With PocketCM you get threaded txt and its skinable for free....
MM
Is it just me or do most of the apps on that website remind you of the pocketcm framework by tene. Which are freely available and easily skinnable
I agree
Not exactly "organic" like a conversation is it?
I tell you, those guys (and girls) at Apple are absolute genius designers. If it wasn't tied to O2 I'd have bought an iPhone.
I reckon 70% of these forums are purely down to programmers doing their best to make the WM devices look like an iPhone.
Getting there slowly and it's keeping everyone occupied at least
PocketCM is still looking very promising so I'm looking forward to version .20

That's my thoughts too, but I couldn't see any options for skins when I had a quick play with the trial. It's a shame, because it looks like a great program otherwise.
i think its skinnable
its just that all the icons arent seperate
they're a couple bitmaps in the bin folder with a couple icons together
When a new message arrives the bubble notification is popped up in the center of the screen even if the phone is locked. Can this be disabled? I mean when you want to read the message click the left soft key in order to pop up the notification and read the message. Any hints? Does this program have settings? I couldn't find them...
Uninstalling
I made the bummer of installing this program and would like to revert back to WM6's standard SMS application. However, since all my messages are removed from the standard application, I'm a bit eary of doing this
Where are these files located, and where do I have to move them?
Thanks in advance

Look i your folders in SMS and you'll see...
...the messages have all been moved to SMS-Chat and its sub-folders.
Just highlight all the messages in a folder, hold-click and "move" them back into their original place.
(Inbox and subfolders)

I installed SMS-Chat to the storage card, but there is no "messages" folder in the applications folder
Not there...
...in your Messages app.
Normally txts go into your SMS/MMS...Inbox.
After SMS-Chat installs, more folders are created.
Move them out of the SMS-Chat...Inbox and back into your SMS/MMS...Inbox
Move your SMS-Chat...Sent itmes back into your SMS/MMS...Sent folder
Same for Drafts
Finally delete the SMS-Chat folder and you're done
message date/time stamp
Did the date/time stamp on your messages get preserved? On my device all the messages are labeled today's date with the time i ran SMS-chat for the first time.
This defeats the purpose of threaded messages as all of them are organized by time and they all have the same time.
I asked this in another tread. I was wondering what thoughts were here.
Is there a reason why non of these chat programs (other than palm) integrate with the phone as a default? In other words how come developers are not making the program so that when I hit messages that sms-chat starts?

Is there a way to make SPB use, and bring up the PocketCM functions? For instance, when I get a text, and click the text messages icon under the Clock, i'd like it to go to PocketCM, instead of the Windows client. Same as for contacts.
I've been trying for a long time to make my HTC mogul actually work correctly. It always seems like GUI's (And trust me, I've used almost everthing) fail somehow. SPB seems a little better than most, except for this issue.
It would be REALLY nice if someone had a solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571
...I'm looking for a specific answer.
It's not a noob question, and probably isn't simple.
This is not a noob question but sounds like one to me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384448
A simple google search reveals the answer.
Hmm. That solves part of the problem, but what about text messages?
God, I've looked everywhere. There has to be some way to change where SPB's text message icon, below the clock, directs too....
Somone please help?
Wow! Relax, take a breather, inhale..................exhale. OK.
So, even with setting PocketCM as the default app for the SMS and contacts, the WM apps still show?
Wooa, where do I set this?
Sorry, I've been searching for answers all friggin' day..
Just press & hold on the far right button, don't use anymore so I forget which it is but it's on the right, the second row will appear, slide to the gears, or whatever graphic looks like settings, each theme will be different. Then you should see it in the settings.
Don't see make it default.
"Bring PocketCM to front" is the closest, and it's checked, and does nothing.
I could've sworn there was a "make default" setting.
Man, My version must suck than, cause i'm stuck without one...
....Still no answer...
I installed the custom 3VO rom, and I'm not blaming it, its brought a lot of neat features, but for some reason I can't seem to fix a few problems:
Everytime I write a text message, I get an INFO: Message sent. I tried disabling it through the registry editor and installing a cab, doesn't work. Seems like it doesn't have an option to disable it, because I went to Text-Messages-Menu-Options and then when I go to account, there is no way to disable it there either. Its windows mobile 6.5 I believe.
There is nothing wrong with CHome, except that the clock is disabled in the upper bar for whatever reason. How do I make it display that? I hate the clock bar, or at least start on a different slide? I came from blackberry, so if you could point me in the way of a QVGA theme that is similar to the today screen that would be fantastic as well.
Also wondering if there is an ability to quit an application instantly after I exit it rather than have it running the background.
Text sent was fixed with the replacement of the HTCMessage.exe with a blank dummy file. Would still like help on other issues if you would so kindly oblige.
Hi,
I just did my first steps in Android programming. And what is better to learn by improving something that you dislike?
So I changed a very tiny thing: the SMS/MMS app's "Send" button.
It now shows from the beginning the remaining letters of an SMS. All this appears on the "Send" button now (below the "Send", just like the text when you send an MMS).
I put a screenshot of before/after into the attachment, so please take a look and tell me what you think. Does this make sense? Should I make something of this configurable? Any further suggestions?
I did this primarily to learn a bit about Android, but now I'd like to go further. So any comment welcome
My thanks go to olearyp from the CM IRC channel
Cheers
Chris
Love it! Big help, for sure. Is it for the black background mod/CM MMS app?

I've looked at the patch, and it should require minimal massaging to apply to irrenhaus-based messaging apps. Most of the actual message entry code appears to be unchanged or nearly so from the AOSP version.
Message code is indeed completely unchanged.
I'd like to know if you think that I should add preferences for this like enable/disable it or configure the number of letters before it kicks in. But maybe that would be too much for such a tiny feature.
EDIT:
Now I see what you mean with black background mod: The thing that is on my mobile and enables me to activate a "fullscreen" keybord which disables the "remaining letters" display completely. I'll rebase my changes against CM sources. They are currently against the original ones.
Thanks for the feedback so far!
Cheers
Chris
Patch available
The patch is in the review now, if anyone wants to take a look on it. I'm a new user so I can't post links yet, but it's on the CM reviewboard as number 686.
Cheers,
Chris
nice work ^_^
Nice work papillon81, very usefull
Hopefully they can put this in a nightly.
Can you implement an option that let's you choose with which app you want to send the sms, when pressing the send button or the button for new message?
I use websms for sending sms, but want to use the stock sms app for reading. It's a bit annoying to go back to homescreen and than open the websms app everytime.
Best implementation would be that when you press new message it just asks, if you want to use stock sms app or websms (if installed). For the send button in the message threads it would be nice that it asks and when websms is chosen, it copies the typed text and the recepient to websms (if possible).
Well, the best option would be to use the stock SMS app for reading and writing and supply different backends so that you can send SMS via your provider as well as via an internet service.
The patch is still in review, so if you like it, comment on reviewboard, too

Hello there,
could you please tell me WHERE the default wallpapers of Android 2.2 / CM10.1 are stored and how I can delete some of them and add some others to this location (maybe it is just a directory or is it more tricky)?
And could you also tell me, how I can remove Android 2.2's sms/mms smilies?
Very much thanks,
fooness

regarding the smileys i think you can disable them off in the keyboard settings or even better just go into the sms app and press settings scroll down and it should be under emoji and untick that if you do not want to use them

Hi, thanks for your answer.
You can replace the smilies-button with an newline/enter-button, yes. And you can disable emojis, that's also correct. But I didn't find a way yet to disable the graphical android smilies. So if I get/write an sms/mms and I use a smilie like : - ) (without spaces), then the graphical smilies are shown and they are really annoying. : /
