REQ: WP7 SMS alternative / help - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps

hi @all
wp7 is running wel on the hd2 so far but i have problems reading sms due to my bad eyes. is there any alternative app with changeable font size or any registry key which does make the font of the standard wp7 sms app bigger?

I myself have asked this question a dozen times and judging by the responses and reading various threads, I don't think it can be done. Stupid really as I'm sure it would of been a very basic option for Microsoft to add font size options in WP7.5.

Can threaded SMS be installed

Hi Folks
I wonder if anyone knows how to do this? I've had a good look around, but cant find how to do it.
I've recently had my TYTN II replaced by Orange, my second one was delivered with a different ROM and radio to my first-its actually pretty good, i might not flash it for a bit!
The one thing its missing though is the threaded SMS which is in many (all?) of the WM6.1 ROMS (when they're grouped by contact/conversation).
Does anyone know if this can be added somehow?
one more quick one:
Ive installed the latest version of Opera Mobile-its an awesome browser. i cant seem to set it as my TYTN II's default browser though-anyone know how I could do this too please?
Thanks a lot in advance,
'tunes
Yes, it's possible. There are many progams that do this like Vito.
Thanks, but does anyone know if there's a way to update the messaging app to match whats in the 6.1 ROMs, rather than replacing it?
I used the threaded sms messaging from the palm systems. worked good.
Windows Mobile 6.0 does not natively support threaded SMS. Unless you are willing to upgrade to 6.1, you will need to install a 3rd party app like those already listed.
Thanks a lot folks.
Any thoughts on setting Opera mobile as my default browser?
I'm sure there's just gonna be a reg key that'll need changing, but I cant track it down.

Sent SMS Messages not appearing

Hello,
Firstly thanks to this wonderful forum! helped me update my ROM and fix many issues (like my mobile losing every 3/4th sms message) and have found many other cool upgrades for my XDA IIi. I've had it for 3 years and was about to replace it with an HTC Touch Pro, but i'm considering hanging onto it now that its been given a new lease on life! In love with my XDA once more!
My only issue is I upgraded the ROM to PUGS 1.11.162 which has increased the speed and stability, however strangely enough when I send a txt message now it doesn't appear in my sent items... It sends, but it keeps no record?
At the same time I have installed pointui home v 1.02b (the 2003 version) and Resco's KEyboard Pro v5.01. I don't think these affects SMS's but thought it worth mentioning )
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
- Matt
P.S. is there a way to change a thread title? I was wanting to change it to 'Sent SMS Messages not appearing in Sent Items'... just thought that was a better title ) Cheers
Noone there?
Noone out there?
Ok feeling stupid...
OK feeling pretty stupid, found a setting labelled 'Keep copy of sent mail in Sent folder" ticked it and it has the desired result...

Tilt 2 TF3D Theme/Appearance

Hi All,
Many of you have posted great themes and way to better the look of the TF3d and I had used many different thing to customize my device but there one thing I wasn't able to figure out:
When opening a contact card or message from the TF3D I still get the AT&T ugly blue theme.
My TF3D is using Dark_Metal Theme so how can I make the rest use the same theme.
Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

Help with a keyboard

I am running cognition 3.04 ROM. I have a difficult time with the keyboard (eyesight issues) I found the attached pic from within XDA (just a conversation no zip or cwm file) It is a droid x keyboard skin.
1) Is this installable on this rom. If yes where can I get it?
2) Or does someone know of one like this, that can be used? Totaly black keyboards are also a problem for me.
Thanks
Does Cog have swype? That usually is a little brighter and is much faster

I don't know the answers to your questions.
But on a related note, have you considered 3rd party solutions? I use Smart Keyboard but there are a few good ones out there. What I really like about these is that you can set up portrait to have a different keyboard (such as compact QWERTY or even T9) that make it easier to see and type (cause keys are bigger) yet maintain full QWERTY in landscape mode.
3rd party keyboards also often support different skins so you can find whatever color contrast you like best.
+1 i really like smart keyboard !
Looked at all the smart keyboards. can't find one similar to the one I posted above
Where did you look to find the skins? If it was in the market, they may not show all of them.
Here is another that looks a little like yours above. Can you clarify what color/contrast you are looking for? There are many more skins so possible there is one even closer to what you want.
