[cooleydan5]

$20from me. gotta see this working :)

[longice]

$20from me. gotta see this working :)

You can put me down for $15 if this is a total replacement for the awful looking WM one and is skinable.

Thanks, guys! You're on the bounty list! Lets hope this will trigger som kind of a new update of the app ;)

[chrisque1]

This project is dead!! Long live the horrible WM sms!!

[cooleydan5]

no way it cant be. have we heard from any of our developers?

[style1]

probably extremely premature to say its dead...but i guess not posting on this forum is grounds for jumping the gun...I say, finish the project and forget about updating us cause it doesn't matter...the same people saying its dead will be the first ones downloading.

[bobtheamazing]

I am still involved, and have made progress...

So stay tuned!

Me too. Hopefully by next week I'll be looking for users/collaborators to start creating the UI and skinning SDK.

To re-introduce myself, I'm working on the native edition, my chance to finally dig into Windows dev and C++. My justification is that developing directly against the native API instead of .NET gives me greater flexibility and eliminates the category of problems that result from using wrapper libraries. But truthfully, I just have the itch to "go native."
(Is there a better forum for rambling by S2SMS developers?)

Hey Bryce, it's great news that you're working on this project!! Looking forward to seeing the results of your work! Is the Google Code repository a better forum to use? Check out the link in the first post, and talk to Ricky´ if you need access..

[utak3r]

While I'm waiting for this coming to the successful end, too (I would help you coding, if I had enough time... but I don't :rolleyes: ) - but I can't understand, why in the forum named "Development and Hacking" one of the sticky threads is the thread about an app which doesn't even exist?.... :rolleyes:
Not so long ago there was a biiiig action of unsticking posts, and now what?...

Don't get me bad, but I don't think it's a good idea.

[ace10134]

[utak3r]

Exactly so.

Even more: some time ago, this subforum were the place of hacking our devices: unlocking, making it better and so on. Posts from such our users, like for example cmonex, buzz, itsme and others. I wish those times come back... Just look at the first page: skins for titanium, skins for manila... omg. Where's the "hacking"? Maybe it's time to rename this forum?

Well, maybe you should take a walk to the book store and buy a dictionary. Then you might find out why this is 'Development' ;)

And, this is sticky because it has been alot of interest and a lot of posts over a short period. If you read the last posts, people are working with the app. So it will be realized. But please be patient. Instead of being a smart mouth, try contributing instead :)

[utak3r]

Well, maybe you should take a walk to the book store and buy a dictionary.

Well, I don't need it - I'm a software developer....
You completely didn't understood me... and I suspect only those old users did. Nevermind.

[longice]

Well, I don't need it - I'm a software developer.... Well, congrats. You're the king of the world.
You completely didn't understood me... No I didn't. Just trying to keep a positive atmosphere here...

[longice]

Why doesn't iContact have a sticky? What about S2U2? And the Google Voice app, why not? They all have HUGE interest, so by your definition, they should all be stickied. Sorry, but your app isn't special. It should be treated like the rest of the apps in development, without a sticky.

Don't blame me, I don't hand out stickies. Never said that those apps don't deserve a sticky. And, this is not "my" app, actually it's no app yet. It's a project which hopefully will result in an app :)

[cooleydan5]

i dont mean to but in, but this app deserves to be sticky becuase with this app our omnia will be obsolete. winmo origional txting is super slow and buggy. this app is very lightweight and will make our lives a whole lot easier. and as for s2u2 and those other programs they are nowhere near as important. yea they are cool to have but they are not nearly as usefull as this. if u guys dont like this app sorry but many ogher ppl are interested hence 'sticky'

[ace10134]

------------

[style1]

is it really hurting anyone for this to be a sticky?

what are those other sms apps besides sms chat.

[cooleydan5]

if u dont mind me asking...why does it bother u so much that this is sticky? if u dont like it then dont follow tjis project. its obviously sticky for a reason. and i have tries pretty much every texting app there is but none replace winmo. they all conflict with it. thid will replace it. and they sre more buggy than winmo.im just sayin there is mo point of complaining about this. if u dont like it then give us te respect to enjoy it. i dont go on ur posts and complain.

[ace10134]

[style1]

seems childish doesn't it?


to each their own i guess. This thread has gone all off topic. Maybe you should start a thread in the appropriate subforum and maybe you'll get a better excuse because this thread is and should be about S2S and not about the legitmacy of it being a sticky. I think we could agree on that.

We need a new thread where the devleoper is in control, since it's his app.

[longice]

No. I've used WinMo txting my entire phone life, NOTHING wrong with it.

Plus, there's ALREADY apps that do SMS. There's at least 2 existing apps, and I know there's plenty more. Why make a sticky for an app that already exists, but someone wants a slightly different feature set?


And guess what, people said the WinMo contacts suck, hence iContact. But did that have a sticky? NO. People wanted a better dialer, hence iDialer. But no sticky. Then people wanted a better SMS program, but there's a sticky? Thats breaking the chain of logic.

Sorry, but it doesn't deserve a sticky. Not EVERYONE needs this. Almost every phone now has TF3D, so there's even NO need for this app!

Go on and develop the application, but the sticky is not deserved.

Ace, my man, why the bad mood? No need to get nasty :) And what's the big deal, really? A sticky doesn't mean the world to anyone, does it? So why bother, really...

[style1]

If by childish, you mean logical, then yes :)

But the developer of this app needs to start his own thread. This thread is still the old, request, thread.

This is the correct sub-forum, its just that there are millions of other apps that deserve stickies too, and they all can't get a sticky.

So, whoever is actually developing this, you need to start your own thread, since this is YOUR app. And mods, the sticky needs to be left off that thread, as it has already been explained.

I can't believe I'm being sucking into this...oh well

Childish in the sense that your mommy(mods) give timmy a red bike(sticky) so you think you deserve a red bike(sticky). Its a fallacy in the sense that this is not a democracy, you does not need logic applied to it, follow it or ignore it...if you want to question it, there are better avenues to do so, than to hijack a thread (yes this thread is officially hijacked).

This is the development and hacking forum...not the proper forum for your complaint>>>>>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=263<<<<<
the right forum for "Anything to do more with the site than with the phones. Feature requests, announcements, praise, moaning, etc."

The people developing this, are using the same code repository as the people who started this project, why start a new project/thread...just keep us updated and when it drops start a new thread for the beta. Of course thats just my opinion. Anyway, I don't want this to degenerate into an open flame war, you wanna argue please pm me. I just don't want this thread to become more hijacked than it already is

[cooleydan5]

i agree. lets just stick to this thread for updates and releases. there is no need for argueing about something so ridiculous.

[dickenz]

@ace10134 and @utak3r:

Between the two of you, you both have near 3,000 posts. Yet you just derailed a topic. And over it's sticky status too that neither of you have control over. PM a mod or something, don't fill this thread with your whining. You'd think after being around here for so long - as you just reiterated about the old days of cmonex, bepe etc - that you'd understand XDA forum etiquette a little better.

Who's it harming by being a sticky? Why does it get your knickers in a knot as to what is stickied here and what isn't? Does it stop you sleeping at night? If not I really don't think the comments were needed. If it does, I'd go see a therapist.

Regardless of whether it deserves a sticky by logic; It has one for now so until it's removed by someone with the appropriate power let's just focus on the topic at hand thanks.

@publicbkh and @bob_the_amazing:
Great to hear you guys have made progress. I can't wait for some form of release. Any update will be awesome, have at it guys :)

[salilshukla]

Not long ago, someone claimed that the Slide button is the MOST DEFINING feature of this app which will set it apart from the other mere wannabes. :rolleyes: Well an app that can be so groundbreaking as a slide button, does deserve to have its own you-know-what. :p

Jokes apart, its good to see that some developers are doing their bit. I hope they are only a little distance away from coming up with something which can be tested, analysed, thrashed and developed into a really ground-breaking app. Best of luck to those who know what they are doing. The others may restrict themselves to suggesting a suitable name for the app which eventually the developers should ratify. :)

[cooleydan5]

anyy news on developement/updates?

[publicbkh]

I am pondering how to implement skinning. It's not a top priority, I know, but it would be fun to have others (the UI creators) working alongside me. I'll continue to update this post.

1. Should UI creators use html and javascript -- WPF? -- (and handle events) or just provide static bitmaps?

[style1]

simple folder with png files would be simplest...kinda like S2U2

Nah I think most graphics editors including myself would prefer to just have static bitmaps we can skin.

Maybe XML? But I think javascript might be too much for the average graphic guru.

If you want to get in touch with me regarding the UI or need any graphics just PM me here.

Some SMS Program not Support PARAMETER SMS

Ex : Tmail.exe ... to ....

When you send an SMS for 1 contact from Mscontact, the Tmail EXE is add this Phone Number of Contact to TO FIELD and you type message.

But when i want made VITO SMS CHAT default my SMS PROG, it can't use Tmail parameter .... And i use CONTACT, Select contact, add phone number .... :(

Any body can fix this ?

Thanks !

Hey.. Please, can anyone Help me.. I'm unable to Intall this Slide2SMS in my HTC 3400i..
How can I install it.. Does my HTC supports this Software or not.?

Well this isn't a completed app yet, it's a technical preview.

If you're expecting to send TXT messages heavily with this app, then you're gonna have to wait for it to be finished.

If you want to help with beta testing, then you're in the right place! Someone should be able to help you. But remember, beta testing means that things won't work perfectly, and if you're not into that, then just wait on the side lines ;)

[Blowfish64]

simple folder with png files would be simplest...kinda like S2U2

That would not be sufficiently customizable though. My vote is for xml.

[md_bluelily]

What's your programming language ? C# ? Then why are you talking about JavaScript ? Are you going to build it in HTML ?
I can help in coding in C# if you need any help in this area.

[publicbkh]

The basic idea is that I (and others) would write customized *faceless* controls (a contacts listbox, an sms conversation-thread listbox, an sms new-message composite control) that are used by the true "application developers" -- the people interested in user experience (including the UI skinners) -- to stitch together and *envisualize* the actual SMS application. XML(XAML?) and Javascript, in addition to the controls, could provide the framework for creating layout and behavior.
This approach should permit the app. devs maximum flexibility in designing the User Interface but can accomodate those who just want to provide static bitmaps (a default configuration can specify target filepaths for them). It also can support consistency across apps through reuse of controls and, potentially, a common framework among controls for UI design.

Anyway,
I'm able to help in sending and receiving the text messages using C#, if you guys like.

But please notice that having a single standard framework (eg. Microsoft .Net) is essential for such an application. If you like to send and receive text messages using C#, then it is better to forget using HTML, JavaScript and ... .

Best Regards.

[stylez]

Without getting the response of hold your horses or the likes...

Could we as XDA users please have an status update as last beta June now Sept would be good if we had an idea of where the project is @ and where it is heading.

Thankyou for takeing time to read :)

[macoolit]

I hope this project will continue... i really like smooth apps like this one.

[kidoucorp]

Don't know if some of you are aware of theses controls for WM C# programing : http://fluid.codeplex.com/

Could be useful for a such app :)

[Shidell]

I'm a little boggled that work on this project hasn't begun yet. I'm a C#/C developer and simply can't believe someone hasn't taken up the project.

This is by no means a small project, but all of the tools are available to make it fly. Has no one even begun on this yet?

If not, I may start dabbling myself..

There are a couple of guys still working on this. If you read back a few pages I think publicbkh and bob_the_amazing were working on this in their spare time.

That said you're more than welcome to have a go yourself :)

Cheers.

[Blowfish64]

You all don't think anything is actually going to come of this do you? I mean it started in May and there's been basically nothing of worth to come out of it. I still don't get why it's stickied.

I've briefly looked into this, and while an interesting project, it's unfortunately much beyond my singular scope of capability.

I'd be more than willing to assist publicbkh and bob_the_amazing, but they'd have to bring me up to speed and inform me where I could help out. (To either of you, feel free to msg. me regarding this if you'd like.)

Hi guys,

I was searching something at codeplex and found this great project: http://silvermoon.codeplex.com , while it's still on beta, it promises a lot.

for testing i made a simple app similar to the goal of S2S based on the file explorer demo that comes with silvermoon just for a proof of concept. Attached to this post is a cab just to know if you guys like the concept and believe that worth the effort of making it an usable aplication.

P.S. i just tested it on my xperia x1

Maybe that's why it's a beta.

That interface idea looks freakin awesome! I hope that interface replacement continues development, and eventually replaces WinMo.

Who knows, the developer of that interface might even include a SMS app in there, well, they have to. That will be promising!

Hi all,

i am currently experimenting with my own version of this idea. In the first place because i wanted to learn how this could be done. It is created more with the idea of how can you make it work rather than how does it look good. (which really shows). it currently has the following:

Finger friendly scrolling lists (which really makes it feel a lot like iContact!)
Display SMS inbox with contact name and picture
Display details of SMS
Display Contacts with Contact name and picture
Create SMS message and send it. (you can send an sms message by selecting a Contact from the Contacts list)

It is currently slow and does not look very good. it is after all still an alpha release.

I have contacted user Ricky to be part of the googlecode group, so it is currently not my intention to try and create this on my own and i am perfectly happy and willing to help the users that are already involved.

having said that, I am interesting it what you guys think, so if there is any interest i will put up a link for this here.

best wishes

PLEASE do post a link mb286 - It is great that someone has made some progress. I'd love to test and I am sure there are loads of others that'd be extremely keen to do the same after the thread being inactive for so long.

Don't worry about the UI at this stage. It's fairly unimportant. We need the foundation first. Congrats to you and thank you for your hard work.

Hi all,

ok so here is my slightly functional alpha version of the concept that is discussed here. it includes the following:

Finger friendly scrolling lists
Display SMS inbox with contact name and picture
Display details of SMS
Display Contacts with Contact name and picture
Create SMS message and send it. (you can send an sms message by selecting a Contact from the Contacts list)

It is slow and doesn't look very good, but it should display in both QVGA and VGA. also, when you have send an sms it will currently not show up in the send items list

please note, for best user experience while scrolling or selecting rows please use the area on the name or phone number.

[namwollem]

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl and let you know how it goes (on my Touch HD)!

Whilst I do appreciate that this IS still an Alpha release, I just thought I'd mention a couple of issues I have found so far...

Please don't take this as criticism because it is in no way meant as such - purely so you know where a potential problem lies.

When selecting an item (on my WVGA screen), the item BELOW what I have selected is brought up... for example, if I choose to send ALAN an SMS, ALEX is chosen as the recipient as he is the next on the list below Alan in my contact list. The same is true when selecting a message to view.

Also the font size means parts of letters are not visible - but I understand that this may be a WVGA issue.....

But, never the less, great work so far, please keep up the great work!! Awesome project!!

:-)

im waiting fo QWVGA i cant wait for this to become a full working sms application. this is great progress! keep up the good work!

thank you for your comments, you are correct in this. if you click on the area that is the name it should select the correct row, this is indeed a mistake and will be corrected.

[namwollem]

Another issue I have found is that on my Touch HD (Blackstone), when I select the Contacts 'screen', only one page is available - in my case A, and 2 Bs! The scrollbar won't allow me to move down the page any further, nor does any kind of swipe or slide gesture bring any more contacts into view.

Try clicking and holding the area that contains a name and then try to scroll. This also has to do with the way the program is currently incorrectly recording clicks and movement.

[mb286]

ok, so here is a improved version of my alpha release (version 0.2)

this version should have better responsive lists when scrolling and selecting rows

Yep - that solved that issue - although the movement is very tricky to control accurately - but I do understand your program IS still being worked on!!

extract the entire folder and put the folder with its content on your device's internal memory or storage card. that should do it.

[dickenz]

guessing people gave up on this???

Definitely not. Look at when mb286 posted version 0.2. It's still happening.

I guess there's some still working on it, but Manila 2.5 is basically killing this "app" :D

A lot of people do not run Manila. Let alone 2.5, which still doesn't have a working VGA port. So it's still a great replacement for WM texting.

you mentioned wqvga twice, did you mean one of them to be wvga?

thanks for your efforts

[xauzainhatvn]

Not run on my XDA EXEC ?

[mb286]

Hi all,

alpha 0.3:

Folder View (Swipe from right to left in inbox view), The idea here is that the folders can also be accessed, no real icons and not really working yet.

New SMS (Swipe from left to right in inbox view), Currently only SMS is supported, and the "unknown contact" option does not allow for sending an sms yet (suggestions on how the program should handle "unknown contacts' ,eg phone numbers that are not in the contact list, are welcome)

Slide2Send (in new message view)

Slide2Reply (in detail message view)

some default (color) skinning in the settings.xml

It should display in both QVGA,WQVGA and VGA,WQVGA.

still not very good looking, but please be patient :)

[mb286]

Not run on my XDA EXEC ?

.NET 2.0 is required, do you have this installed on your device ?

i have .net 3.5 and it doesnt work....i am on an omnia i910

Great start! Thank you. Looking forward to this one progressing.

Is there a specific error message that is displayed ?

Yea one pops up saying "File or assembly name 'MAPIdotnet, Version=1.0.2860.27195,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null', or one of its dependencies, was not found."

i just took the downloaded .zip file and created a new folder in my storage card names slide2send and extracted all files there. including the dll file that seemed to be missing before. it should work after that.for some reason it wouldnt work when i would run the exe. from the original .zip file

Hi all,

currently working on the next alpha version, this will have:

working Folder view
"working " copy to Sent items
Some more skinning options
Threading/Grouping of messages
Sent sms to unknown contact(s) (my own suggestion to do this)

This version could well be the last alpha version

(Alpha 0.3)

Well strictly that's not true. It's crashed about 5 times yesterday when I put it on, then I tried it on a whim today and it did *something*, but just gave a list of current SMSs in person order (I'm doing this from memory) because now it just crashes every time again.

Crash information:

An unexpected error has occurred in Slide2Send.exe.

I stumbled across this s/w by accident as I send cliff-hanger SMSs all the time when I want to put "...and then I" and end up doing "...and then [SEND]" which is right below shift. I appreciate you're about to bring out a new version so I'm happy to wait for that and test it, but I thought I'd mention this anyway in case it held some relevance to the development at this stage.

I've searched this forum for the same errors and not found them, but admit I've not read all 65 pages cover-to-cover, so forgive me if this turns out to be laughably simple. It did as I say do something one time, but just the one.

Best wishes,
Tina.

Hi all,

please discontinue using version 0.4 of slide2send!

i have found a bug that causes an sms to be sent twice! i am currently looking into this and i have removed the 0.4 version from this thread.

again please discontinue using version 0.4 of slide2send and my apologies that i did not find this bug sooner.

[mb286]

Hi all,

version 0.4.5 :

Fixes the sms is sent twice bug that was in version 0.4 plus some minor interface tweaking

next version ETA one and a half weeks

[aussiebum]

Just some feedback on 0.4.5 alpha, tested on a HD2 with 1.48 WWE Stock ROM.

App and messages in inbox loads up fine, but scrolling and sliding is really unresponsive - swiping a lot only scrolls a little, and it takes several swipes to slide left and right.

When a message is displayed it also doesn't occupy the entire screen - only the top 3/4 - I can still see the inbox underneath. Is that intentional?

Agree that slide bar size should be adjustable for WVGA resolution screen users.

Looking forward to 0.5 beta :)

Thank you for your comments, i will look into the unresponsive issue, but i have not seen this problem on my device or in the emulator.

regarding the displaying of the message i also do not experience this problem, but perhaps it has something to do with the screen being WVGA. i will also look into this.

Cheers. Just an additional thought that crossed by mind, the unresponsiveness *might* be due to the fact that HD2 uses HTC's own Messaging service instead of the standard Microsoft one. I'll have to disable HTC Messaging to test theory... will report back when I get out of work.
