Reduce threaded SMS font size in 6.1? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Is there anyway to reduce the threaded SMS font size of a conversation in WM6.1? I searched and found some other posts, but not a definite answer and they were for WM5&6. The text size by default is huge!
Thanks in advance.

Bump...
... can't seem to find the answer to this. I see people talking about editing file with Total Comander and that's fine... but my text was small and all of the sudden it was huge. My wife won't admit it... but I think she was messing with my phone. Thanks guys.

I have been trying to get my text size increased in the reading pane of the threaded sms... so if you find out what your wife did let me know!!

is the threaded sms capability limited to the cooked rooms only at this point ?
i just got a tilt and from all the searching i did, thats the feeling i get.
at&t tilt
shipped rom 1.62.502.0

It's only...
... on 6.1 ROM's. Just flash one of em and you'll have it. Still can't find out why the font got larger... but only in the threaded SMS/MMS... not in IE.

I have original ROM and threaded messages.

u need to change the font size via outlook or any email acct.. thats the only way i can across it.. open a email change view to smaller or smallest text and it changes txt msg size too

I can confirm that this works. Came across this way by accident a couple weeks ago! Looks way better now!

yea same happened to me. but thankfully i use palm threaded now. the 6.1 threaded is junk compared to palm!

Cool, thanks for this!
I didn't even realize that I had a desire to use a smaller text size in the SMS app until now

Settings>system>screen there should be another tab for Text Size. Adjust this to your liking and it will also be the setting for emails and sms.

but that also changes other text size which maybe be undeseriable

FINALLY ... an SMS threading program that works PERFECTLY!!

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

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.

threaded sms??

is there a cab out there that makes the tytn ii have threaded sms much like the iphone??
TIA
No. Nothing like that exists.
Have you considered searching? There has to be at least 4000 threads with this same kind of question in it. Search and find the god dam software. And if you want an Iphone, get an Iphone. Or AIDS. Either would be fine
**MOD EDIT**
Have you considered not wasting so much space? The question may have been noobish but the 3miles of space in your post was even more annoying..
Actually, You're obviously simple so I will perform the search for you. Using your exact terms.
Oh look, 5 threads on the first page with the answer.

Really great SMS replacement and Contacts Manager replacment.
Threaded SMS
I discovered a very reliable threaded SMS client for Pocket PC Phone. It handles both square and rectangular displays. It has some good configuration options for the display and has an excellent popup notification functionality too.

Downsides are that it only runs on WM 5.0 or better and the license needs to be activated.
Otherwise, a nice simple http://www.pocket-sms.com

Pocket CM with plenty of iPhone skins, and CM Keyboard or I forgot the name, have a keyboard that looks exactly like the iPhone.
And if you want, theres a software which cost money cost extreme text. I just use the Palm SMS Threaded, it works great for me.
Buddy, just do searches, there everywhere.
Does the Palm threaded SMS still break MMS support?

Yes, atleast for me and I can't send ANY MMS without getting an OUT OF MEMORY error. Anyone know how to fix this? Back on my old 8525 I never had a problem. I don't care about losing the MMS selection. I just wanna be able to SEND MMS and still have the threaded SMS on my Tilt.

Hi:
I now have Palm threaded sms, and mms working perfectly too.
The instructions I followed are as follow:
Get this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/61245824/MMSsetup.zip
Then do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1569374&postcount=16
Your MMS will be with your email accounts. Be sure to choose "Cingular" as the default for the MMS once you get it setup. To do that, just go to MMS > Options > Servers > and choose ATT MMS.[/QUOTE]
I am using this on AT&T Tilt, I am not sure if it will work on other devices, I believe the proxy cab is only for AT&T devices. You can probably find more info on it if you read through the original post ^^.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
just wait for WM 6.1, includes threaded sms support......i believe it has already leaked and dutty is on his way to releasing a rom for it soon. (a beta is already avail for download)

No smilies / emoticons for SMS/MMS ??

Do you have smilies / emoticons when composing SMS or MMS ??
I don't ! Empty selection screen for smilies ...................
Touch Diamond German unbranded version 1.37.407.2 GER.
Nope none on my Diamond, running the TLR rom and also before i flashed it there was no smilies or emoticons. Just have to use the semi-colon and full colon to make up the smilies.
odd...in a demo i saw..it showed them..
=\
bad advertising ;(
Hi,
I use Touchpal keyboard and smilies are include
Bye
Ok, got them again !

You're saying that when you send/receive SMS/MMS emoticons show as images rather than text? How do you do this?
Can you post a screenshot?
Thanks
i have smileys in the aucontent folder, but where can i insert them?
i have no option on my keyboard to insert smileys.
I think the stuff in UAContent is for inserting smileys when composing an MMS. I don't think there's a way to get them working in an SMS. Although, please correct me if I'm wrong!
any news for adding emoticons?
i'm using smiley sms do a search will be able to locate it somewhere in this forum it allows u to compose and receive sms with animated smileys brillant software cheers
emote
unfortunately smiley sms is very slow on my HTC Touch HD. All I would like is to get the same "shortcut/tool bar" in SMS writing as I get when typing in the Text field of MMS writing. The one that shows 5 buttons. One that looks like a smiley for inserting smilies, and one that looks like a star, for inserting http links, one for predefined tesx, one for vCard and one for vCalender entry.
Would be VERY useful to have these when writing sms too.
Anyone know if it's possible?
Also:
When writing SMS, almost half of the screen is taken up by the window showing the SMS tat you are replying to. And only one line is shown of the message you are actually typing. Making it very hard to get an overview of what you have typed. Any chance these windows can be ajusted? Maybe even removed?
cheers

when sending an MMS without media content, it asks if I want to send as a SMS...maybe they will send then...
Anyone maybe found a way to put smilies in sms?
bumpy bumpy... i'm interested in this as my girlfriend uses smileys from her sony erricson but all i see if colons and brackets and txt symbols.
hopefully someone will create a hack to do this as its a pain when your used to a sony erricson smileys
I use Smiley sms and in the settingsmenu i only select:
Enable SmileySms
Animated Smilies
Compose Form
Inbox Smiley forms.
This shows the smiley when i recieve them, and i get a small icon on the button of my smsscreen when i compose a new sms. it is behind your keyboard.
This works fine for me and don't feel any slowing down

Texting programs

Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment
Cameron
It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

SMS audio, video or pic message size

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here but I've searched endlessly here and around google and a few other search engines and no solution to my question.
When I try to send an Audio message, video or pic message I'm only limited to 300k, is there any way to increase the size of this? It's really becoming a problem for me.
You should buff up your search skills because this question has been asked many times but no worries, heres your soluiton:
MMS size to 1MB
Thanks to over2land
\HKLM\Software\ARcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\ Config\UI\Size Limit
change this size limit to 1024000
now you should be able to send up to 1MB over MMS.

Theres gonna be several keys, Wap1SendLimit1, Wap1SendLimit2, Wap1SendLimit3 and the same for Recieve. After you've edit the corresponding keys, SendLimit1 and RecvLimit1, exit out of your registry editor and soft reset your device, then go to messaging MMS options, Servers, select your mms connection settings then on the bottom theres yoru send limi. There should be 3 options and one of them would be 1000K or whatever you set the key to in your registry.
If that's too much for you, look in the list of cabs on this thread, there's one there for a 600 limit - I'm sure there's another kicking around on here for larger sizes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2276141
I think other phones have receive limits, so you might want to check the larger files you send are actually getting there....
Good luck.
