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

I just rebooted, and now my text messages are gone! There's no "text messages" tab under messaging, and if I select a number and hit "send text message" nothing happens. Now there's an "IPM.root" folder in outlook express instead. Everything else seems fine. Any ideas?
What other software do you have installed out of curiousity?
I had a similar issue except that i didn't lose my text messaging, i lost ALL messaging. As in, I hit the button, clicked the icon, nothing happened. I ended up installing Pocket Informant as my default PIM and for messaging I installed Flexmail 2007. They are not free, but I like them a lot. One of the things I like about Flexmail is the pop/imap only works if the program is running. So if I'm sitting at my computer at work I can close Flexmail and not get redundant emails. Text messaging works as normal.
I never figured out why my messaging disappeared and found no explaination from anyone here. I've tried different ROM's, different software.

Do you have the option "store mail attachments on memory card" ticked?
If so, that's the problem.
It happened to me few times while using two memory cards, all you have to do is delete the folder with mail attachments on the card, uncheck the box, soft reset and check the box again( if you want), problem solved.
I did a hard reset last week and decided to give the standard messaging a shot. So far so good, and now that you mention it, I don't have the "Store attachments on memory card" option checked. It's been almost a week and I haven't lost my messaging.
Thanks for the heads up. Now it just pisses me off that I spend $45 on flexmail and pocketinformant when i really didn't need to.
So if it will happen again try to take out the memory card, soft reset, and put it back AFTER IT STARTED - that also worked
I really don't see a need for third party messaging application, the original is good enough.
The only thing that annoys me is unablity to copy-paste text between Messaging and any other programs, for example writing an email in Pocket Word then copying it and pasting to blank email to send it as a text, not word doc. :evil:
Does not work for hermes 200

I tried what you recommended but I still do not have text messaging as an option under my message selections. I only have outlook email, MMS, IMAP4 and yahoo. Somehow I have managed to loose the text message selection folder. Do you know of anything else that I can do? Thanks
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 downloaded a sms threaded text cab for my att tilt- my problem is that i can't send or receive MMS messages anymore. i've been looking for days to find a way around this because i love the threaded text, but i NEED my MMS capabilities. can you point me in the right direction or do i just need to abandon my threaded txt and revert back to the original to get my MMS back?
You could always upgrade to WM 6.1. It has threaded SMS built in.
this is true, but what about my mms...and now my mms wont work because i reverted to the original text format. its just saying that it is unable to send the picture message.
Im guessing you tried using Vito SMS chat. It was a nice app for threading your sms and loked nice too. But it takes over your messages folders. If it wasnt SMS chat you used then im guessing whatever program you installed did the same thing. I hated this cuz like you said, you then cant send or receive MMS. I looked for a long time to get around this. So now I am using Birdsoft's Xtreme Text which does not affect your message folders in any way. It simply just looks at your inbox and then just groups your messages by contacts so it looks like threaded sms. Then your phone handles MMS just like normal. So when you want to send or check sms just launch the Xtreme Text app. Then if you want to send or view MMS you just open your stock message folder.
So if your MMS is all messed up right now, I would do a hard reset to put everything back to normal, then reinstall all your favorite apps, then just install Xtreme Text to get that threaded sms feel you want.
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

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.

Is there any cab file out there for the AT&T tilt that would allow a message that can't be sent, due to no service, or receiving another text at the same time, ect... Is there any cab that would allow me a message resend button as opposed to having to open the drafts, open the text, send the text, open back up the inbox...?
If this doesn't exist, can anyone capable of writing code create me this hack? It would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced!
windows mobile 6.1 + "threaded" text messaging
if you are using a WinMo 6.1 ROM, threaded text messaging is enabled by default (if not enabled, use KaiserTweak to enable threaded messaging).
i clearly remember (because it has happened with me TWICE) that the threaded messaging view will display any unsent messages (within the thread) in RED color and will provide a clickable link labeled "Try again"...the function of the link is self explanatory
the combination of events you are talking about (sending a message exactly when receiving a message and/or a phone call) is RARE but it DOES happen...fortunately, i don't mind using the threaded messaging view and i get the resend link (in case of transmission failure for whatever reason) as a bonus
hope this helps...good luck!
It's not necessiarily rare to me as I text all the time, haha. I know what you're talking about, but I don't like threaded text messaging. It becomes slow and sluggish after a while. I highly appreciate the suggestion though!
Does anybody know of a program that would allow this tweak?
Quite some time since I used Arcsoft but didnt they have a resend feature (could be some of the later ed.)? Or am I wrong and it was a feature on 6.1? If it was on 6.1 you could still use it for just that by switching off treaded view.
I do have arcsoft MMS, but how would i go about using it to turn off threaded view SMS and keep the "try again" or resend button?

Ok hold on, will make a cab for you.
Enjoy !
Raiisak`s En/Disable Treaded SMS
Thanks a ton for making that, but I have kaiser tweak and I am able to en/disable threaded SMS. Thanks tho.
Is there a cab that you could make me to add a popup window to my screen when a message is unable to send that simple let's me resend it instead of automatically move it to the drafts? This seems to happen alot seeing as I text alot. Thanks in advanced for anybody can help!

Reason I made the cab was to simply add on/off the treaded sms whitout making any change to the notification status for you by simply create this DWORD in youre reg:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:00000000

Arcsoft_MMS 5_0_31_81 w/ treaded ON had the function to ask if you wanted to resend sms/mms if failed. Try to install that and run my cab and see if the red text comes up comes if the sms fails to send. Chance are that this will solve much of youre problem, other than that I would recomend to try another radio if you have severe signal issues
Sorry for the stupid question but um when you say new radio... You mean....?
If you use custom rom they come whit variouse radio, not always will the given radio work smoothly in youre country and phone. I would read up on this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182 and also the OP of the used rom to see if there is any recomended radio for youre phone or country. If none found I would ask in that tread. GL
Is there any way to auto resend a failed message? either for a certain time or an X amount of resends?. My phone constantly goes in and out of service. I dont want to have to keep my phone in my hand waiting for service to kick in then resend.
