Nice theme - what is it? Is it a proper theme or a collection of individual hacks?

I like this. But do you need to let VITO SMS-CHAT running in the background for this new sms popup to be displayed? Is there a way to make this the default Windows Mobile SMS App?

The threaded sms reader that comes with PocketCM Contact is the best looking that i've seen (once you install the Dark Diamond II - 0.3 skin). And it's free!

I use this app, and you don't need to open it for the notification to come up. Just install it and turn off your normal SMS alerts, and it's your default. It's a really, really great program for threaded SMS. It even lets you export all chats into a word file. I just wish they'd come up with some better skins.

Thanks! The TF3D theme is from Lagunadub which is a proper theme. The task bar and bottom bar are Wisbar Advance 3 and I'm using a compilation of a couple different skinners work for that look. I can't take credit for any of it other than customizing it to my likings.

Agreed. What I originally started looking for was a program that had a nicer notification than that of the stock windows notification. I really liked how Vito SMS Chat looked and I've been very happy with it!
now aint this sad, i'd use vito smschat for all features NOW except well.. the threaded sms

I've installed SMS-Chat on a LG Incite and it freezes when trying to use, but if my phone is connected to the computer it works fine. Also, how do you turn off normal SMS alerts. Please help.
For me, the default TF3D threaded sms is just fine.... Can't be bothered to pay for a sms application ffs...!!!

This is in most of the ROMs from here.

However, it does not install on NRG's rom Maxmanila 23554? but I think that the idea is good and it needs some tweaking (other graphic files perhaps) to get it installed on other roms.

Hi all. Does anyone know how (or if it is even possible) to change what application runs when you click the MMS messages icon on the "House" tab of the HTC Homeplug? (Not talking about the App Launcher tab) Maybe through Reg Edit? I never use MMS messages so it would be cool if I could make the icon run some other application. As usual, tried searching through Google.
Thank you

I've installed the Palm threaded messager thats here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308881&highlight=palm+messaging That puts e-mails in the first icon and SMS in the second icon.
Any way to customize it more so that I can have something other than e-mail in the first icon and SMS in the second one?
Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

OK, got ChompSMS and now can uninstall SMSPopup as Chomp pretty much does the same thing. Great app.
can it be disabled?
don't really like it
I don't think you can. I believe your stuck with it until a 3rd party text messaging application comes out and does it.
What about changing the bubble colors to differentiate sender and receiver?
oh man................
first no customisable ringtones (still liveable)
now can't disable threaded sms
the jump from wm to wp7 is proving somewhat hard...
thanks for the info though
appreciate it
I actually like threaded SMS, so no biggie here, but the ringtone thing is a little odd, but not a deal breaker.

Hi
just wondering if anyone could point me to some good missed call/sms/email notifications? I tried noled but find that it kills my battery.
Ideally i would like either of the following>
Either something showing like
o missed calls
3 missed sms
5 unread email
or
a email logo with like 5 in a small circle (depicting missed email)
a sms logo with like 3 in a small circle (depicting missed sms)
etc
Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Try with "Missed it!"
I didnt manage to get work the Google Talk notifications just the Mail, SMS and Emails...

this program isnt bad at all
you also could try those home programs like ADWlauncher etc as you can customize them accordingly
Just a shame that Missed it only works with google email as i have just found out

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.
a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.
Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???
yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

Hi,
Same issue here (French, 4.0.1).
Also sometimes having unkown failure trying to send mail, after closing Go contacts...
An update may come soon...

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.
