Default Palm's Threaded SMS app running on my WM6 T-Mobile Dash

I was able to get it to work, the only problem is the fonts are kinda small. I'm trying to figure out a way to see if I can make them any bigger.

Here's a link and some screen shots.

quick one, where do you get this famous threaded sms app?
i'm sure the font issue is a registry tweak

I have the app from my Treo 700wx. You can get this app on the web, TreoCentral is a good place to start.

the other problem with the app is that you can't get back to your inbox without closing the app out first. I have set task manager to a speed dial so I press "2" to close the app then I get back in my inbox and can navigate between inbox,outbox, drafts etc. Otherwise the app works very well.

I couldnt get it to uninstall. I tried doing it through "remove programs" but no luck. Oh well it had already been like a week since I formatted

Hey there,

I got the CAB file - how do I install it?

Install it the same way you do any .cab file. I usually put it in my programs folder on my Dash using Activesync, then navigate to that folder on my Dash and open the .cab.

Thanks! I installed it. Any idea on the hacks / changes I need to make to get it working? When I run the program, i'm good to go. however, there's no way to go "back". When I press the "<-" button on my Dash, it exits the program.

So if I'm in a threaded chat with someone, I can't get back to the view where i choose which converesation to enter. Anyone know of a good guide to get it working?

Thanks so much!

That's the problem, it wasn;t designed for a smartphone, it was for ppc phones. The way I get around this is I set task manager to my speed dial #2 and I have to end the app. Then I can get back into the inbox. It's a bit annoying, but I still find it better than our other options right now. It was never intended to run on a non-touch screen device, it actually surprised me when I got it running.

I got it running back in December, and was happy it still worked with WM6.

This is when I got it running on WM5:

Default Notifications?

Did anybody ever get the font to a readable size, or get it to make a notification sound? I searched to no avail...
