Palm's Threaded SMS app running on my WM6 T-Mobile Dash

I was able to get it to work, the only problem is the fonts are kinda small. I'm trying to figure out a way to see if I can make them any bigger.
Here's a link and some screen shots.

quick one, where do you get this famous threaded sms app?
i'm sure the font issue is a registry tweak

I have the app from my Treo 700wx. You can get this app on the web, TreoCentral is a good place to start.

the other problem with the app is that you can't get back to your inbox without closing the app out first. I have set task manager to a speed dial so I press "2" to close the app then I get back in my inbox and can navigate between inbox,outbox, drafts etc. Otherwise the app works very well.

I couldnt get it to uninstall. I tried doing it through "remove programs" but no luck. Oh well it had already been like a week since I formatted

Hey there,
I got the CAB file - how do I install it?

Install it the same way you do any .cab file. I usually put it in my programs folder on my Dash using Activesync, then navigate to that folder on my Dash and open the .cab.

Thanks! I installed it. Any idea on the hacks / changes I need to make to get it working? When I run the program, i'm good to go. however, there's no way to go "back". When I press the "<-" button on my Dash, it exits the program.
So if I'm in a threaded chat with someone, I can't get back to the view where i choose which converesation to enter. Anyone know of a good guide to get it working?
Thanks so much!

That's the problem, it wasn;t designed for a smartphone, it was for ppc phones. The way I get around this is I set task manager to my speed dial #2 and I have to end the app. Then I can get back into the inbox. It's a bit annoying, but I still find it better than our other options right now. It was never intended to run on a non-touch screen device, it actually surprised me when I got it running.
I got it running back in December, and was happy it still worked with WM6.
This is when I got it running on WM5:

Notifications?
Did anybody ever get the font to a readable size, or get it to make a notification sound? I searched to no avail...

no... still squinting read the damn texts... i have the files if anyone needs them! just pm me!
btw... did anyone find out a registry hack to map the back button to going back to the main menu of palm sms threader? so annoying to go to task manager... close it and then open it again! any idea how to uninstall it and go back to regular wm6 sms? hard reset?! eek

Hi,
Where can I download this application.
I used to use TXTman with WM5 and it was ok. But its not working well with WM6.

pm me please.

any luck with this?

Has anyone had any luck running TxTMan on WM6 or any threaded SMS program for that matter? I just installed it, but it won't read my SMS messages through TxTMan when the program is open.

no luck with this app it sounds interesting..

give THIS a shot

Exactly... install Kavana's ROM and stop worrying about it ! lol

how can I add video calls?

I have hermes100-AT&t, i dont use it with AT&T so i have the ability to make video-calls. I have just upgraded to "Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.0_ATT_Full" but it doesnt have the video-call dial.(this is the only rom not crashing so please i would like a solution without getting diffrent rom if possible...)
can someone give me an advice?
thanks

u should really read thru the forum there are tons of postings on 3g dialer. welcome to the site. but to not get flammed i would for sure use the search function for "3g dialer"

doesnt work
thanks 4 your prompt answer, i have installed "schaps video dailer" it became purpel but the video buttom doesnt shows.
what should i do?

It was reported that none of the actual 3G dailer works on the new WM6 rom but Black's one (part1,part,part3). It can be found on the thread of my rom (near the last page I think); but it is a very very unclean way to get a 3G dialer.

Question for you Fun_Key... What's the recommended way to load up the 3G dialer? Do you know if a package is available? I haven't had any luck with the package maker or with Schen's 3g either.
Thanks!

fun_key's method (part1,part2,part3) works fine but as he said, it seems quite an unclean way, i mean opening up the windows folder would now take me 10-12 seconds compared to previously 2-3 seconds.Aside from that, havent really noticed any other slowdown but i'd really like to know fun_key's other way of incorporating the 3g dialer....Fun_key if you could help us on this please? I noticed that u did it on the last version of ur rom and I'd really like to know how u did it...

What seems to slow windows listing is to overwrite ROM files. If the files are allready in rom, no problem.
What I did was something like that: Look into the part1.cab with a cab tool, copied all the data to the ROM and the registry. But 2 of the bmp located in the part1.cab are corrupted. You will find in a folder called wm6 extra or something like an uncorrupted copy of those file. Replace the corrupted file with the good one and you're done.
The part1,part2,part3 is an unpretty workarround to get rid of those corrupted file.
I also did some test with the beloved Kaiser 3G dialer, and everytime I made a video call my phone allmost crashed (work fine though). Any further information about this issue welcome (thread jacking on it's way )

Thanks Fun_Key! Will give it a try and see if we can come up with a new cab installer!
If anyone else has done this already, I would appreciate it if someone would let us know so I don't have to reinvent the wheel!
Thanks Everyone!

Please help, 3G video dialler not working for me.
Hi all.
Sorry for double posting my problem, but Fun_Keys ROM thread is now 28 pages deep, nearly 300 posts, and growing!!
This thread is relevant to my problem, so I add it here -
I have Fun_Keys WM6 1.5.2 on my UK T-Mobile Vario II hermes and after enabling the video dialling button using the advanced config tool, I still cant make video calls.
I've tried calling somebody with a 3G phone who can video dial other people. If he video calls me, he gets a service unavailable beeping sound. If I call him, I just get nothing but this dialog -
"Fail to make the video call. What do you want to do?"
Try again
Make voice call
Send SMS
Send MMS
Does anybody have any ideas what to look for to sort the problem out? I'm very new to custom 3g dialers and custom WM6 ROMs. I've taken a look around but cant find anything suitable. Its now the only thing I'm missing from the original firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Stu

the 1-3.cab worked just fine (slow but ok) thanks

Did you try the 3-cab method yet? That seems to work for everyone.

Already in the ROM?
Hi Quakie
I was under the impression that its already in my WM6 ROM because I'm using Fun_Keys latest.
Regardless, I'll try it -
Can anybody tell me where I can find the three CAB files?
Many thanks
Stu

compimeh.dat is 21Meg! what is it?

Hi Guys,
I am having a problem with an eten x500 WM6.. my compimeh.dat file in the windows directory in 21Meg! and i think its getting bigger and bigger... what is it?
and how can i delete it or make it smaller???

Compimeh.dat is where your autocomplete words are stored in the dictionary

do you know how to delete it or make it smaller...??
i tried the option in the 'Auto complete' options screen but it did not make it any smaller.

rename it and then make a softreset. after restart you can delete the renamed file and a new one was created

yep, that sorted it!
no idea why it got soo big!

What Messenger?
Do you use a threaded messenger or any such modified txting program. I am trying to sort this problem after the fact. It was necessary for me to do the same procedure as described in this thread and im trying to find a way to avoid it in the future. most people do not seem to have a problem with their compimeh file and yet there has to be a common denominator between us that had this same problem. mine went from 8 megs one day to 25 the next. I have no idea how or why and i would like to try and avoid this problem again. i got to the point where i was so limited in storage memory that i almost couldnt bring up the file to delete it!
Anyway, thanks for everyones input and i hope we no longer encounter this problem.

My first WM please help :(

Hello
Ive just got the HTC Touch and its the first time I use a WM phone.
I feel there are many options missing and I'd love some help from you guys. this is my first post.
First is there a way we can create a shortcut that directly starts a new SMS msg to send ?
How do I make some programs start automatically as windows starts ?
The built-in calculator is the ugliest thing ever, i want an easy to use calc and not scientific , not necessarily loaded with options. I used calcium for N95 i loved it it was just perfect and straight to the point. ( http://www.mtvoid.com/calcium/ )
what a good registry editor for WM ?
......eum , ill add more questions later
hope u guys can help
edit: Also how can i add more profiles ? like beep once and such ?

Hi
First of all, welcome!
Then please READ here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Elf
or here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Elfin
depending on your device
Good luck,

Welcome to xda
Firstly we have a Q&A section here on xda. if you have questions, please post them there.
Secondly:
As orb has already stated just about anything you can ever imagine can be found in the wiki, as he included some links to get you started.
Thirdly (Yes i'm getting somewhere keep reading )
Shortcuts can be created to create new sms's
you will need to know how to make .lnk files which are simply pure text files containing a path, read on here.
To make programs start up with windows a link to the program needs to be placed in the windows\start up\ folder
Try total commander for a registry editor\ advanced file explorer
For programs check freeware websites such as these.

MMS Fixes

So, after seeing way too many posts about it not working, I sacrificed and flashed the stock operator rom and exported the MMS settings that hamper things on a custom rom. Here you all go. I tested it all and it works here! Cheers
What it fixes:
MMS max send size in new message
MMS receive size (issues with the pictures always being shrunk)
How to use:
Extract and import registry file.

How much is the maximum kb u can send? still 300? My mms works fine with a lil edit after flashing custom rom, will try this one out the next time I flash. Thanks

This edits all those sizes and also fixes the super small pictures when you receive them. This is specific to the Rhodium, but I am sure you can use it with the others too.

Any way to get them imported into the registry most editors only support unicode 5 for .reg files? Any incite besides "Use resco explorer" would be greatly appreciated.

hey thanks for this post .. but my problem isnt the size of the mms .. because i cant send or recieve at all. ive gone through all my connections and stuff but i cant get it to work ive googled and searched here and even posted about it but no answers .. noone has had this problem? im using the energy rom its fantasic but this is my only real problem i think its because i have to schange the settings in the arcsorft unfortunately there seems to e noway to access in this rom

I just use "task manager" that comes with the Energy roms. It works like a charm.

I am unsure of what you mean. I am on TMOUS and the latest Energy rom has the MMS all fixed when it comes to servers and data connections with the connection setup. I didn't need to change anything in that respect.

Thank you very much that rocks! All kinds of easy!

Cab
Can anyone cab the file? I am having a hard time importing the registry edit.

here you go luna

Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to make a cab. lol

The issue i have with my Tilt 2 is that some of the pictures i have on my storage card are tiny when I choose to see a picture from the album. I used to have a Fuze and took some of those pictures with that phone. Will any of this cab's in the thread fix that issue?

It won't fix all ready downloaded pictures. Only new ones.
