Sense 2.5 messaging to Sense 2.1? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Is there a way to go back to Sense 2.1 SMS messaging. Sense 2.5 new HTC SMS is ok..but i prefer 2.1's look. it's quicker and easier to manage texts.
I know there's a way to disable the new 2.5 SMS but i don't like Pocket Outlook's simplicity look.
ROM I have is in my sig by the way

thanks for the quick reply. seems someone got it working on their TP2. but now everyone's getting a stuck in outbox bug after a day of use. too buggy for now..hopefully soon it'll be fixed. tolerate 2.5 for now :\

i havent experienced this lag everyone complains about. but i do have one annoyance. when im typing a text itll randomly select a text message a few messages above. its not enough to dump the much better htc mms client over the old crappy arcsoft one. and finally a character counter again. theres little things all over manila i feel arent exactly complete though. maybe in the next update...

I dont think there is a way to split it. it's just like that in newer rom versions.
Maybe you want to try Palm threadded application, its pretty cool...
The palm threaded app is wicked nice. I was always disgusted how my 8525 handled messages.

here u go. just don't use the automatic settings if u don't have at&t.
I've read the thread, but I still don't understand what this does. I've never had a Palm, or anything other than PPC's. I use an 8525.
I would love to see the text messaging improved. What does this do?
I really learn a lot from this forum.
Thanks,
Mona

This is the Palm Threaded Messenger. Chat style SMS and MMS.
It was taken from the Palm 700WX (I think), which is a WM5 Palm Treo on Sprint.
I am using it now on my 8525, running Black Majik and Radio 1.47.
Hope This Helps,
Jim
how do i uninstall this palm treaded sms?
I couldn't remove the Palm Threader. I had to manually delete the files. I installed the Shogun version (which is conisderably smaller) and seems to work just fine. The Palm one is 4Mb. The Shogun cab is less than 1Mb. And it removes without issue.
ive uninstalled the The Shogun cab. but its still there. how can i remove it?
Thats funny with teh at&t rom that the pandora kitchen is based on the MMS and SMS is seperate and I would like to join them again, if I use the htc today screen and clck on the email button it takes me to MMS now its lame

thats because its using arcsoft 3.6 and not version 4.0
I feel like I have a new phone with this feature....Thanks!
me new rom uses mms 4.2.x.x with split MMS and SMS. its in beta, if you plan on testing it please provide feedback on the 4winmobile forum.

Difference...
What is the difference between shogun_cingy_Threaded.cab and the palm app besides the size?
I tried to remove the palm app but it appears to still be there.
Where are the files for the palm app?

WM6.1 Threaded txt

For those of you who are playing with WM6.1 have you been messing with the threaded txt? I have used the troe version for so long I admit I miss some stuff.
Mainly the new threaded app doesnt tell me how many characters I have typed so I don't know when I have went over the 160 limit.. I have also noticed that sms backup doesn't seem to work correctly it backs up my txt messages and when I restore them they r missing and not threaded.
Another thing I like about threo threaded is MMS/SMS are all together instead of seperate..
Last thing is the txt don't have dates next to them. They have time but no dates. I like to scroll back and know what day and time something was txt to me.
Anyone else got any complaints?
Maybe some of these things can be corrected with a addon or something.
you can see how many characters at the upper corner.
I two think PALM did a better job.
I agree
Me myself being a Treo 650 owner and a hacked threaded sms user on my 8525 would have to agree the WinMo 6.1 threaded sms falls short.
No smilies
There is a short delay when sending msgs
No timestamp(with dates)
When restoring from PIM backup msgs are missing/ out of order....I can only see the msgs I've sent not the msgs I've received.
This may sound like a little nit-pickery going on but hell M$ has had a lot of time to get this minor detail right....

You can't be too surprised that MS half-assed this as they have half-assed every other Windows Mobile product for the last 5 years. MS doesn't care about Windows Mobile. Sad, but true.
I'm already messin with the ripped treo app again since it combines MMS/SMS together but the HTC Home Plugin shortcuts don't work after I install it..
Something simple so I'm gonna try another version of the htc today plugin and hope that it works..

I have a Wizard, but I think this will help you anyway.. You have to create a shortcut to \Windows\messagingapp.exe. I think currently, the HTC shortcuts (and even the button for me) was set to messaging.exe. After you create the shortcut for it and add it to your start menu, you should be able to map it to the button.

SMS viewer

Hey just wondering if there is a different sms viewer to the custom one in TF3D. Something similiar to the iphone one would be pretty cool.
Solution: Buy an Iphone.
there are a few on www.pocketcm.com - however htctoucher hasn't made them for the HD I've been looking for the same thing. There are a few things here and there that Apple has done well, where WinMo 6.1 still lacks. I'm sure if you give it some time - someone will develop it. Just be patient, or ask those who you see developing different apps and such, and see if they can be pursuaded by some sort of donation
Good Luck!

This doesnt look bad. But will this work with tf3d?
just realised that it costs...anything free?
Yeah... smiley sms new version has a nice threaded interface.. and it skins the notifications too as well as other nice features.... I find it a little fiddly, personally... and it needs updating, I think. But it might be what you're after.

Upper case letters at the start of sentences - doesn't seem to work for SMS messages

Is there any way to make the TP2 automatically put a capital letter at the beginning of sentences when composing an SMS text message? It does it in other applications, but not there.
Try XT9, seems to work with that, but that's for when your typing with the on screen keyboard.
EDIT: Never mind, I guess it has a mind of it's own. I tried it to make sure and now it's not doing it.

The whole reason I bought a TP2 was for the physical keyboard.
I understand...
Maybe a hack will be released soon, but you only bought it just for the keyboard? What about performance wise??? Keyboard was just a plus for me.
This is ONLY an issue with HTC's interface. If you go into the actual WM6.1 sms interface, this does NOT happen. It is an unfortunate thing too. I am a bit annoyed, but I just deal with it as it looks a lot hotter than the standard MS interface.
Yeah your right. I noticed in WM6.1 sms interface it only CAPS the "I" after a period or whatever. If you would type "I didn't know I could do that" it would look like this. "I didnt know i could do that"...horrible!!!

For me it took care of all the apostrophes that were common in things like "don't" or "can't" and would capitalize I or the first letter of the first word in the sentence. I hope HTC fixes this in later builds, but of course at this point we don't know.

A custom ROM will fix this before HTC does. And anyways, T-Mobile won't let us get our hands on the update, since they barely ever push out updates.
I'm just gonna wait for HardSPL and custom ROM's to be released. That's the best bet.

Oh I know. I am pretty much waiting for the same thing. HSPL and a good custom rom. I just really hope that either someone uses the same 6.1 branch with a lot of finger friendly enhancements, or I may go 6.5. I dunno. I have 6.5 on my Hermes. Overall like it a lot.
Any one have an update or suggest on this issue? This is the only topic I found on the subject. I really miss the phone fixing my punctuation.
Again the problem is only with HTC's SMS text interface.
I too am interested in this. I was hoping Energy's ROM would have fixed it but I didnt expect that.

SMS for TP2. Implementation and new ideas.

Sms functionality is very limited on TP2. Should we install some 3rd party program like Vito or implement our own?
Anyone? lets talk about it
limited? what's so limited aboot it?
i think the sms/MMS is klunky to use. but this is coming from a smartphone user. im a noob to the ppc world

Be more specific. What is klunky.
I will tell you what limited, in regular prog you cant delete individual msg, you dont see how many symbols you type and etc. SMS SUCKS at TP2.

cant delete individual msg? Turn off Threading (try reading the Tips and Tweaks thread)
Dont know how many symbols?? mine counts fine, ^ counts as 2 characters.. hmm.. IF by "regular prog" you mean in the TF3D reply window, then yah that doesnt have a counter.
Why do you need it to count text for?? If you need to type any more than 160chars, it will be sent as 2 messages.
anything else that you wanna consider as SUCK?
is this your first WinMo phone?
I personally don't like the TF3D SMS interface so I use good ol WM interface when I have a threaded message open. It shows in the taskbar how many characters you've typed & if you want to delete an individual message you just use the arrow keys & move to thw one you want to delete & choose the option in the menu.
Very oftently you dont see sent msg in TF3D, but you can see them in wm msg. IT sucks and very slow.
I have a deep and unabiding hatred for the TF3D SMS application, and I hope someone figures out a way to make clicking a message in TF3D go directly to the WM SMS app at some point.
anyone can resolve this issue?
i have an issue with hitting back (used to it being send) and i hate the send button because for me it is very laggy usually .. when i need to fire off a bunch of messages real quick the system almost freezes up ... not very productive and alot of times i cant tell if its sent or not because it takes to long to load my reply on the thread..
touch pro 2 sucks, most sluggish phone i ever worked with, i think i will sell it.
