I had a threaded application that also came with a soft key , but it took up too much memory, so i just downloaded extreme text yesterday. This program is pretty good so far, but it isnt integrated wit the factory texting system, which means I will have unthreaded messages if i open the stock texting program, So i will have to open extreme text everytime i want to see my threaded text. . I dont have a problem with this , but extreme text doesnt disable the message sent notification and its not free.
Can any of you guys recommend a better threaded texting application, preferrebly a free one with a today plug in?? HELP
Search for the "palm threaded sms" in the forums. Some people have probs with it but so far on my hermes its been really good for me.

Anyone know of a Threaded SMS program that actually works on WM6 with our model of smartphone? I've tried numerous programs and actually got "Palms Threaded SMS" to work, but the font is way too small and the back button can never get me back to the main screen. I'm constantly stuck in whatever thread is open.
Try this SMS Chat app
Installed fine. Program runs great, but my SMS messages are still coming through the default DASH Message Inbox. They go out fine through the SMS Threader, but won't come in. I'm using WM6, but the page says it works with WM6. Please help!
I have tried the Palm ripped threader for wm6 which I love because of its integration in and just appealing user interface but it seems to have some severe problems. Sometimes after closing the program after sending a message the CommManager or other programs will also pop up behind the palm app and I will have to close them too. The worst part though is that it almost always sends duplicate previous messages. Currently I am using PocketCM for my contacts and sms messaging but it has drawbacks like trying to send a message to someone that isnt a contact.
So yeah, I would really like to find a text message threading app like the palm one but that doesnt send duplicate messages over and over again, any suggestions or am I SOL?
My vote - stick with Palm Messaging
I've been using the WM6 "Palm" messaging since I first converted to WM6 (and the previous version on WM5 too) and it's always worked flawlessly.
The duplicate messages problem is a known one with ANY of the text messaging systems on the phone. It occurs when the application is closed shortly after a message is sent, the phone thinks it didn't go so sends it again. To fix it, either add the palm messaging as an exception to your X-button task manager, or (as I do) simply press the OK button on the phone to minimise it rather than close it. That should also avoid your CommManager popping up too.
Never used PocketCM, so don't know if/how that might be interfering with it though.
Good luck.
Extreme Text
This is not a Freeware, but it works very well, and uses the Messaging Inbox. There is an update due out in about to weeks where he is planning to implement a lot of the request made in the forum. Below is the link to the authors website.

I found what you were talking about, it is the same application but a different [newer?] version. I have been using it about half the day so far and no reports yet of duplicate messages. I think you answered my question!!!
In WM6, when I had several new text messages I could do the following:
1. Go into Text Messages
2. Read the first new message.
3. On the navigation buttons i could push the "left" button and the "right" button to go back and forth between messages.
The above steps no longer work with the ROM I downloaded from this forum (WM6.1 080408 Final For Excalibur WWE with English - By Kavana). I did download and install the eT9 fix already.
Thanks!
Threaded
Are you using threaded messaging or the old email style messaging? One of the best things about 6.1 is that you can use threaded messaging. To enable it, go to start - settings - accessibility - SMS Inbox threading and enable it. After that make sure to actually close the messaging app, or if you prefer restart the phone. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it makes texting so much better imo and makes switching between messages the old fashioned way irrelevant.
Yes, I am using threaded messaging. However sometimes I get messages from more than one person -- or I get alerts for work and I need to scroll through them all. It would be nice to be able to navigate to the next message with one button rather than three.
Then turn off threading messages.
Should work the old fashion way.
Does anyone else get this?
Sometimes, when I compose a text and press Send in the default TouchFlo app, nothing happens.
Other times, it turns out it has sent, but the message doesn't show in my Sent Items, nor does it appear on the TouchFlo app's thread.
Sometimes it works fine, the message appears in Sent and I've got a proper threaded view of the conversation.
Is there any fix to make it more consistent, or failing that, can I remove it and go back to the default WM 6.1 threaded SMS view?
sometimes when i send a message through touchflo i think it gone then i go into the windows messaging part and i get the message tellimg it couldnt be send
Yeah, I get that too. But if you forward it to the same number, it goes fine. Very weird.
I'm hoping this new ROM fixes it, but can't test it yet.
Nice to know it's not just me, anyway.
Anyone else have problems with text messaging?
Scenario: I receive a text message, the notification pops up on screen. I have my phone handy, so i hit the reply button.
The phone takes me to Windows Mobile text messaging. I send my text message reply. If the same person texts me back, it is not registered as being read.
So i exit the screen back to the TouchFlo 3d menu. I have a new text message (that i have already seen and read)
So i go to the windows mobile text system to read it...again.
NOW, lets say i have a full conversation with someone. 30 messages later, I still have 30 unread messages, every time i open the windows mobile text messanger, it removes ONE new message, not all.
So, i never get to use the TouchFlo 3d messenger, which is half decent, and the WM6.1 text messenger is stupid.
Does anyone know of a setting, or a third party text program that will over ride this crap, or am i just hoping this all works out.
Am i really the only one who has text messaging difficulties?

*nods* i have it already, it doesnt exactly "cure" the problem, UGH!
We shouldnt have to come up with stupid fixes for stuff microsoft should already have fixed.
Is 6.5 slated to fix some of this garbage?
I have another problem

allot of times it tells me message not sent

Another partial fix here...Partial because Ive only using the new dll for a bout a week(not sure of long temr effects) & I cant make a successful backup using sprite backup etc without adding the dll files to the exclude list of files to backup.
im not quite sure i understand what you just said.
