First of all, I've been using my wing with Touch-It v2.0 for close to a week now, and absolutely love it.
My only complaint is how the SMS messages are categorized. I've used a Treo, both Palm and Windows versions, and one of my favorite features is the way the SMS messages are put into folders by sender, similar in look and feel to an IM program.
If anyone has any idea how I could get my SMS on my wing to look like they do on a Treo 650/750, I would greatly appreciate any information.
Thanks.
try pocketcm it has sms feature kinda wat ur looking for
Thanks, already had PocketCM, didn't realize it had that SMS feature.
Now if only I could get my default messaging to work the same.
Description: Were you a Treo 650 user? Miss the old threaded "Chat Style" of the text messages? Well, you don't have to be sad any longer! With the SMS Threader application, you can now send and receive your text messages just like you used to! The program will even automatically open even if it's not running! All threads are automatically backed up as HTML files, for easy viewing on any machine!
PS - If the program does not function correctly after installation, your device may need a soft reset.
Thanks, i'will give it a try.
looks good, fonts is a bit small on the message text and can't see a way of making it larger
I have had a couple of crashes when trying to select the message thread with my stylus (which did not open it) and by then using the action button.
I have been after this app for ages so thanks for the post

great to see SMSs like IMs, its the application I never knew I needed.
Only prob is the character counter doesn't seem to count the characters, staying at "0/160" even when a message is typed.
Also, annoyingly when in a convo the "X"/"OK" button is not present, forcing you to click Options >> Close to exit the convo. Though there seems to be options to "close after response" etc so this might not be so annoying
PocketCM also does a similar thing and in my opinion has a great interface. A must have application IMHO (http://www.pocketcm.com/)
True, the way this is done in Pocketcm is really good. I used it for a while but the rest of the program isn't what i expected from a good contact manager.
I have been using shogunmark_wm6_threaded and it has been perfect so far.
How do these compare to IMSMS, which I find works very nicely -
@argoldst
palm threaded app working perfectly on kaiser? did u manage to make mms feature to work? which rom are you using? would be great to get this all working
After a nights use of the OP app I found it to be a little annoying, for the following reasons:
1. Constant notification alerts in the top bar, even when I have read the thread. This means your constantly "dismissing" an alert, just to see if the thread has been updated with a new SMS
2. The alerts didn't popup over my full screen app (TomTom) which was annoying as I had to minimise TomTom just to check if I had a SMS or not. Default notifications popup over full screen apps AFAIK.
3. All new message go into the thread, but not into the Default Messaging list, so attempts to bypass it are impossible.
Think I will try some of the other threaded SMS apps listed here.
Am I the only one only looking for a little program that automatically threads all my EXISTING SMS's?? Everybody talks about these SMS Threaders that only thread SMS's sent within that program.
CMContacts is better; it looks at my existing SMS database but I do not need another contacts app (FingerFriendlyFriends is THE BEST contact manager for my purposes...) on my Kaiser!
The best solution would be a sort of a threader-plugin on the existing messaging-application, but as far as I know that does not exist...
Just my 2cts!
Does it transfer the sms's already in your inbox to the threaded program? Or does it not? Does it replace your inbox as the Palm Messaging app, or does it only add a new app? Thx
I cant find "CMContacts" anywhere
Do you have a link to this "CMContacts" software?

the version i downloaded automatically sets your defeault SMS to the palm one, and it replaces my old inbox with the new palm one. Basically i installed it and it became my default SMS application automatically. Only downside to palm threaded app is that you cant use on-screen key boards very effectively, they all cover up the txt input box in a convo. message. Except when you write a new message.
and to Eddythepeddy: i believe it will thread all of your existing SMS...hmm could be wrong about this tho, for me it only threaded my sent messages

PocketCM will also thread your pre-existing SMS.

Sorry, I meant PocketCM (if I remember correctly it was called CMcontacts in the file-system when installed).... But as you can see, some other guys are liking this little free app as well!

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, everything works perfectly including mms.
The only negative to it is that the txt will not thread until you reply. For examlpe, if you get in 4 sms from Jane but never replied, it will show up as 4 different sms. Once you reply, they will all fall into a single chat (threaded sms) and will stay like that. You ONLY have to reply once to get all future (and past) sms's to thread.

anything special you did to get mms to work correctly? I (and most people here) get a memory error when trying to send mms.
You can get all sms to thread regardless under options. There should be a setting to thread all messages.
I was wondering if there was an app that lets you have keeps your messages grouped together from the sender like on the iphone thanks
A lot of people like PocketCM. It has threaded messaging:
http://www.pocketcm.com/
You can also search for Palm Threaded SMS .. Its been made to kinda work on the PocketPC.
????
I've got pocketcm And it's a great app. sms works good and looks good and is different......
What is it about the iphone text app that you like?
I like the shogun threaded sms app. It's on the forums here. I think it's named shogun_cingy_threaded.cab.

like he said, he likes the group/threaded feature. and asking where he can find simliar programs like it.
already posted in this thread, try all three of these applications. i am using the palm threaded sms and it works great. it replaces your current default msging app. use it at your own risk, make backup before installing it.
alternatively, u could try touchpal. google to find it...
I downloaded the zip file and i like how it runs smoothly. How can i get the black/grey background because i have a white one and also the letters are kind of small is there a way of enlargin them
i apreciate it i tried that pockcm its ok like to see someone put out something a little handier
ok, so I tried SMS chat, and it's nice, but there are a few flaws that I am not sure of, I also heard that TEXTr is a little too buggy for its own good.
anyone know of a good app that will give me a chat type app. I tried a wile ago the Palm extracted version, but the MMS stopped working for some reason.
any ideas, is there an update to the Palm app, is there something else out there that someone recommends?
PocketCM at PocketCM.com is good. I use SMS-Chat by VITO personally, and I love it. The Palm App you can get fixes for so that you can get MMS working, if you do a few minutes of searching on the forums.
I have tried quite a few of these and have found SMS Chat is still tops. Only flaw is no quick search fuction.

I was having problems with my MMS but I think I will try SMS Chat until they get some of those bugs worked our. Thanks for the info.
I found that when using sms chat, touchpal back space to delete word not working. Anyone else experiencing this?
Just follow these steps

I found this small application called threader available at http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/
very simple but seems to work well on my HTC Kaiser
Am I missing something?
Am I missing something here? Why do you need other threaded-SMS app when it's already built-in in WM6.1?

I guess I dont know how to activate this feature because I dont seem to have it, if you know the trick to make it work it would be sweet because I cant find it
Firefly, did you back up your sms with PIM Back up and the restored them in the 6.1 rom?
if you did thats why you dont have threaded sms. it seems to be that when sms messages are restored n 6.1, it throws off the threaded sms feature.
Is there a way to close a threaded message or split it into its own thread?
Been having the same "conversation" for a week with the girlfriend and there is no relevence between one message and another.
Do you need Windows Vista to install WM6.1?
I don't have WM 6.1 but the latest WM6 update from HTC for my at&t TILT. It's stable but no threaded SMS app Can you install and flash to WM 6.1 or do you need to do it with a computer running Vista only? Is the SMS superior in WM 6.1? I use SMS daily to communicate and SMS Chat is the only app that has worked for me reliably. Yes the backspace button sometimes does not work and there is no emoticon support but unless you all have another option its sms chat or wm 6.1.

SMS Threader doesn't seem to be availalble from here anymore.
Do you have the cab for it?
I use one of Duttys wm6.1 roms and the threaded sms rocks my socks off

Yes here it is -
the sms in 6.1 rocks my socks...thats one of the main reasons why i flashed to 6.1 but in 6.0 i was using vito sms chat which worked quite well for me but i wanted it to be built in and not an external program
I'm quite happy with PocketCM. The new version integrates better between contacts and SMS and Phone better, too.

Cheers, I'll give it a try.
I need a good application for managing text messages. I've been using VITO's SMS-CHAT and I absoutely love it,but I'm having a problem where it just won't start up after a few minutes. I close it, and it still won't start up.
anyway, I've been having this problem on every ROM I've tried, so I've deicded to just move to a different application..does anyone know an app that is similar? or better?
What about the stock application?
For me, its great. I love threaded SMS, and thats all i need.
