[FIXED] My First cab - T-Mobile UK customised threaded SMS

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 ?

ANY chance for disabling threaded messaging in WM6.1?

Sorry to ask again,
but is there any chance to disable threaded messaging in Windows Mobile 6.1? I want to keep mobile banking SMSes away from others, in another folder but I can't move any message and can't manage folders anymore on WM6.1.....
It is the only issue keeping me away from Meschle's Vanilla 4.01...
Help please!!...
** thinking on custom WM6.1 rom with WM6.0 messaging **

just read that yesterday, a simple registry key changes to old style.
/me is currently also searching for it

simple registry key changes to old style
but - about new sms you'll get to know by turned on screen.
I mean - no vibrate,no sound,no notification

No notification sucks.. ehh..
Anyway - could You please point me to that key?

sry, don't really understand that.
can u explain that again with more words?

yes it's possible, just press search. It was told many times.

Click to collapse
sure - here it is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:0

I mean - no vibrate,no sound,no notification
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you get a new message, you wont here any notifications about it, no matter what settings are. Only screen will be turned on for a while.

Thank You pal.
Found that on forum few minutes before You posted but thanks again, anyway.
Tested on Tom's B&B 5.0 - yes, that's right, it disables SMS notifications functionality. But using "Ladoshki PMA" (little proggie from Ukraine; PMA comes from Personal Mobile Assistant) I have notifications and much more.
Ladoshki PMA has mostly English-speaking interface. If anybody want to try it just refer to official proggie page at http://www.ladoshki.com/?pocketpc&id=4396 - everything written there is in Russian.
Almost forgot. I've placed .cab file on Rapidshare (~800 Kb). Feel free to try it...
If You guys need that bad I'd try to find some time and translate 'documentation'...
Cheers!

Be careful with Inesoft. Their latest version (I believe it is Phone 4.54) changes your dialer to an ugly WM 5 dialer. The only way to get rid of it is to hard reset your device. I tried installing dialers over it but they would not take. I let support no of the problem weeks ago but still no response.

For me Inesoft is working very well
do not afraid - u can install with no problem
I need biiger fonts in contacts, caller id etc so I just installed Inesoft 4.54 and all is working OK

I wasn't saying to be afraid of installing Inesoft Phone 4. I was just informing those who would be interested to know of the dialer change it brings with the install. Inesoft has a very nice dialer that links to the phone button, but once you're in the call it reverts to an ugly WM 5 dialer.

iconsoft!!!
Hi my friends.I use PhonEx from ICONSOFT and i think is the best app for your contacts and for your fullscreen Caller ID. Beautyfull design ....try this....

This looks like a nice program here, a little similar to Inesoft Phone 4...I may give this a try.

yota contact

I also use Iconsoft Phonex 1.3
A very nice Fullscreen CallerID and with a simple UI

PhonEx may be just what you are looking for. They just released version 1.3.5 which also happens to include a wvga skin. It works really well on my HD and you can change the font size of almost everything. Well worth the money. Their contact manager is also pretty good. The best part is that you can enable/disable modules as required. Better than inesoft in my opinion.

Caller ID
its a long time ago, when I asked for any callerID program. Is there something new to try and of course working well ???
thx

I can tell you that you need PhonEx now have version 2.1
Its super Fast, Stable, and Useful.
Easy to use interface, very beauty and smart.
Also the Images Appear on Full Screen and this is just one SUPER SOFTWARE

Have you looked at Resco Contacts? Excellent program and worth checking out if you haven't.

thx guys. I try Resco Contacts and it rocks (for now )

hi,
is there any FREE software for fullscreen caller id out there?
actually, ive been having my HD for months now, but i have not added any apps on my phone, is there any apps that any of you would recommend me to install?
thanks!

GRRRRRRRR
Jesus, I am so stupid. I install Resco Contacts, works, but fight with original HTC calling screen, which I dont know, how to turn OFF
Can somebody help me ?

Open up the Resco Contacts settings and go to the "General" tab. Put a check mark in "Handle Incoming Calls" and soft reset your device. That should fix it for you.

I already do that, but its the same, I dont know why

Did you install the program to your device memory or the SD card?

Replace touchflo calendar

Hey guys, anyway to replace the calander that touchflo redirects you to? So for example when you click on the home screen appointment, it takes you to WM calander, I want to to go to thumbcal.
Thanks.
Also anyway to change the opera version that launches from touchflo internet tab?
I want 9.7 to come instead of 9.5.
Thanks.

That's exactly what I want 2....
But in my case, i want to use Pocket Informant as default calendar...
Does someone know a solution or reg edit to change the program that will use while making an apointment?
thanks in advance!
Ranney

Bump please? I found SMOpa or something, but it cant replace the calender. Thanks.

Man - I ALMOST like the Tf3d2 calendar. I still use MTP to run PocketBreeze in a tab, but if the calendar had
1) More info per item without opening it - maybe even a click once to expand to show all info and description, twice to open in MS Calendar...
2) Week view
3) Color Categories, or another way of visualising
4) Include tasks on the day page
...I'd be using it exclusively

anyone knows how to link it to Pocket Informant please??

Bump.. I too use Thumcal.... I like tf3d calendar for viewing info... but want to open thumbcal to make new appointments etc..
I checked in the hkeylm-software-htc-manilla-item 5 is the calendar
but no clear way to change where it directs you....

^^^^ THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO!!
The most I can do is when you click the no appointment thing on homescreen it will take you to thumbcal, BUT if you have an appointment it will open it in Windows Mobil calendar!!
Anyone know if you can skin the windows mobile calendar?

Yes I know what to do.
Start complaining at HTC about this. TouchFlo doesn't use the registry to ask for the default (calendar) application. TouchFlo is hard programmed to use the Windows software, in this case the calendar.
To get this changed in the way it should work..... HTC has to do the work!

maybe we can use vjbrisk I'll have a look at it later!

Has anyone had any success?
Id do this myself if I had a clue...but I dont. Any gurus out there have any ideas? Or is this simply not possible?

bump
I hate to beat a dead horse, but has anyone figured this out? It seems like this would be a bigger, yet simple fix than most of the other tweaks out there already. any help towards such a tweak would be greatly appreciated.

like you,i hate this calendar as well,it's very rustic design,i want to remove it from the Today desktop,replace it with other better-looking calendar,but holy ****,after lots of research,the conclusion is that this calendar is built within Touchflo3d scripts (called inbedded),even tweaking registry cannot remove it!
So forget this tempt. give up. i am trying to see other better Today program to replace this goddamned touchflo3d.

Contact manger app & manila?

Seems the TP2 (stock roms, touch flo enabled) uses some new contact manager app?
So is there a way to make manila use the gold old WM6 contacts instead of the one it uses by default?
Please, Im not the only person looking for this.
I have been looking in HKLM-software-htc-manila and cant find anything yet. but there surely is a way to point the manila to the older type contacts app?
thanks
PS this is for us people who use this more business setting I guess. (or are old like me and dont like change?) Anyway, I have contacts grouped by Company, which is handy as hell & I dont need facebook. Please help us.
My solution would be that you start to make a call, hit green call button, hit the "contacts" soft button or whatever at the bottom, which would open the older type contacts, just like you had clicked on Start-All programs-contacts.
Thanks in Advance for any help or hints...

I have a real problem with the contact manager that this phone offers, i had to remap the button to bring the up other version , but still sucks for business use..so i loaded Pocket informant which helps but with out aD pad it is not as easy to use...got to find a solution for this, love the phone but one handed usage is very important and may drive me back to my old Tilt
