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 -

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
On my old WM5 devices, text messages showed in a threaded conversation view, like what you see here:
http://www.mykesoft.com/textr/details.php
but in WM6, on my kaiser with duttys each text message takes up a whole line, I can not find a way to view text messages like an IM conversation. Anyone know of a good one?
The one I provided a link to does not install on a duttys flashed ROM.
Any advice helpful~!
I don't have links on hand, but I do know that there are a few threads already about this very topic. You might try searching to see what you can find.
Personally I have tried PocketCM, and liked the concept, but didn't like the speed of the contact lookup... especially compared to FFF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319899
very similar to the textr link, but doesn't have the contact pics on the side.
i use the palm one and can't use sms without it. If you don't care about loosing your mms then install the palm one, its freaking awesome. I wish someone would fix the mms portion so that it worked again, but for some reason it just stopped working on the kaiser.
I used Extreme Text, it works great, I really like how simple it is, but its not freeware, but its not ridicously price.
I keep running into this and wonder if any one else has the issue or knows how to fix it. By default the threaded messaging window only keeps the last twelve messages and then you can tap older for the next twelve older. At some point it will stop letting you go to the older messages, even when you know there are more to see. I would like to have more messages per page and have it go all the way to the beginning of the history or texting. I have looked myself and cant find where this is set. I also searched the forums and have not found any talk on this.
i have this problem too. and for some reason after a while, my threaded messaging just deletes all the history for that contact. even what i was able to see before...without me deleting any of the messages. it's really wierd
for me it doesnt delte older msgs it just wont show them in threaded mode
if you switch to non threaded they are there but i agree its annoying and random too
Is there any way to limit the number of threaded SMS messages that are displayed? For me, it takes a while to load the window when it's a contact with whom I've exchanged many messages.
I'd like the thread to show only the last 5 messages, or so...
I am currently running TPC's stock like 6.5 ROM. I love that it is light and fast. The only problem that I have is with TXT messaging. I don't have M2D, just a shortcut on the today screen
There are two many steps needed to send a message. I have a shortcut to open messages, then I need to select the SMS/MMS over email account, then I need to select the conversation I want then type message. This is not bad and I know it probably can't be shortened by but only a step.
Pictures are a whole new story. I have to open messaging, select SMS/MMS, go to menu/new MMS, then add the picture, then add recipient, then send. This is because the option to add picture in the threaded conversation is grayed out.
Oddly my wife has an Palm Treo 680. I don't like the phone but it is awesome for texting. Is there any software out there that is better for texting? I ahve searched for hours, and all I get is old programs that thread the messaging before WM6 I am going to start my trial and error with ROMS, but if anyone can point me in a direction for software because I like TPC's ROM, everything else seems to work so well.
I have found this program:
Treo 800w Threaded SMS GMS Beta
I will see how it works.
Edit: I didn't work
