[FIXED] My First cab - T-Mobile UK customised threaded SMS

[Lordsmiff]

Yes, I've finally gotten around to looking into this whole cab making malarkey and while this is an existing one customised to fit my needs, it's a good learning curve :)

It's the palm threaded SMS app and it just plain rocks - really :)

So anyway, I've tested this on WM6 (Black 4) and it really works. Everything is already set up in this for using with T-Mobile and MMS works too! It integrates nicely with the HTC homescreen and includes a custom alert tone (hope you like it! )

Just to make sure the install goes OK, please use the task manager to stop the messaging \ poutlook \ tmail processes before you run the cab as I believe this could cause problems.

You will lose your existing SMS and MMS messages in the standard messaging app so if you want to keep them, use PIMBackup first :)

It's a fantastic app and I recommend giving it ago and if you're on T-Mob, I've just made it a little easier for you :)

Cheers,
Smiffy.

Good point! Nice work on the cab Lord but some reassurance would be fantastic :)

Have installed it and its quality. I can't send mms though. In the settings its set to cingular. I've got the tmob settings bar the centre number any ideas?

looks like that

[Lordsmiff]

I'm looking at it now - I did test it on mine first but I think it probably kept the registry settings when I uninstalled it and re-installed it.

As for uninstalling...on my T-Mobile UK MDA Vario II, it uninstalled perfectly and everything reverted to the standard messaging app...BUT, as with anything like this, please don't just take the poster's word for it - use PIMBackup and and back it all up first!! :) It will most likely work OK, but...sh*t happens ;-)

Smiffy.

[randomelements]

Thanks man. Your word is always good enough ;)

[Lordsmiff]

OK, there were 2 places in the registry where the MMS settings were stored and I only changed 1 but it's sorted now (tested 3 times ;-)

And no, my word isn't good enough ;-) Back it up!! :-D

Cheers,
Smiffy.

[Johnston411]

Think this will quite possibly be the first cab i'll install after future flashes. Intelligent fuctionality.

Cheers Lordsmiff nice work

Forgot to say that when i uninstalled first version my old sms and mms were still there. When i reinstalled the new ones reappeared. Like lordsmiff says back up just in case but it didnt completely remove messages only temporarily when using the app.

[Lordsmiff]

You're right, it doesn't remove the old messages, it just uses a different message store but, at the risk of repeating myself ;-) back it up anyway :)

Which reminds me - if you want to reflash your device and then get all your threaded SMS messages back, you need to backup a file in the Windows folder called "PalmMsgV001" and also a folder in Windows called "MMS"

The file has all the text messages and stuff in and the folder has all the images etc from MMS messages in (I found that out the hard way :cool:)

Copy those two to your storage card and then back after a reflash to have everything back in threads :)

Cheers,
Smiffy.

[Lordsmiff]

Moved to rapidshare at mod's request :)

Anyone have any ideas where better to put it as I know some people (myself included) can't get them during working hours...damn those proxys :(

Cheers,
Smiffy.

Is it possible to install this threaded sms cab then alter the network settings by installing one of the available operator cabs or does the setting need to be entered manually?

Thanks.

[shogunmark]

i havent looked at lordsmiff's version... but if its anything like the ones i posted there is a possible issue of mms not working if you enter the settings manually... but his could be different...

[Lordsmiff]

There's not much chance of it being too different - it's based on your cab :)

If you want me to mod it for your provider, I can do that for you :)

Just PM me the connection details and I'll see what I can do :)

Cheers,
Smiffy.

[shogunmark]

i had another thought if you wanted to run with the idea.. i go back to work today so my time is going to be limited again.

The original version where based on the sprint connections, when i extracted all the files from the cingular treo rom and dumped the registry i compared them, i noticed all the reg settings were pretty much the same except for 2 lines and of course all the provider settings. But im thinking that if we left out the hard coded provider settings and allow the user to enter them manually that this may stop the "sometimes" apparent connection issues with MMS. So basically have a generic threaded cab with no provider settings hard coded at all... and if someone wanted to feel ambitious enough they could make cabs with just the hard coded reg settings for different providers (not the whole app)..

[xivius]

Hi!

Sounds great! Can it also be used for a other provider ? If yes; how do I know my settings ?

Does it show a alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

I really love this app and would like to go back to it. MMS has always worked for me when using shogunmarks version but I think its limited to 300k.

Since your offering lord would you make one for AT&T?

I linked the settings I would have just posted them here but didn't want to miss something so I linked the main page for you.

thanks

[MrDSL]

One thing everyone should know when using this app is if you use any kind of app that closes programs like HTC Task Manager for example you need to add the Palm Threaded app to the exclusive list so it does NOT close when pressing x.

What happens a lot of times is most people write their txt msg and just click the x but with the threaded you have to wait until the msg is actually sent.

So the app should be running most of the time..

Hi,

What about the new sms notify; does it show an alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

[xivius]

Lordiff; did you got my PM about a Vodafone NL version of the CAB ?

[lupes5]

The title says T-Mobile, will this work on AT&T?

[MrDSL]

Not that I'm aware of, I posted the settings needed so hopefully if he gets time he'll make one for AT&T..

[shaftstick]

thank for this cab it's a great idea but as some other here i can't send mms nor receive and i have the lack of memory message. how can i solve it please.

[paulv]

I installed it and it found my network immediately. Very clean and not a lot of bells and whistles, that is good! Thanks!

[nlarge]

does this work on tmobile USA as well?

[zkyevolved]

Backup? Hello everyone! I used this app for a day or so, and I'm loving it, but I tried to do a backup, and deleted some SMS's and they were never restored back into the app.

Do you know of any application that'll backup the SMS's from this? Thanks!

Kent.

EDIT: What I mean is that if there's a way to view the messages on the PC. Thanks

I am having the same problem. Any ideas on a fix?

[iNiels]

Is there anybody who van post the CAB. I hate the cats and dogs off the download site! thanks

[Slave1]

Any way to change the notification sound?

[Wam7]

Yes, it is the Sound & Notification setting but listed with Palm in the title, look down the list and you will find it.

Cheers matey. I don't know how many menu's I've looked through for that.

[j_tros83]

i love this app. but I cant send mms messages...did anyone figure out how to fix this???

[sh500]

Does/would this work with Jeyo Mobile Outlook Extender software? This is what I currently use to view and keep a backup of SMS messages.
