Why isn't this hack possible????

[de-v8]

Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.

Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?

I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.

Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.

Am I being stupid?:confused:

I think you're mixing things up.

MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).

SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.

So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images ;)

As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.

I understand the differences.

What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send ";)" etc etc

Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.

Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your :D will be sent out as : D.

But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does

Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS:confused:

I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel . (http://www.mypdacafe.com/%7Esillycat/smip.php)
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to ;)

smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with ;)
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with ;)

phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.
