Another SMS bug in Manila 3D!

---

Hey, before you start reading my oncoming wall of text, please read this: THIS IS NOT ABOUT EVERY THIRD SMS DISAPPEARING.

With that out of the way, I'll post my problem. See, I really love TouchFlo and it makes me wanting to use my phone more, so it's great to see so many roms incorporating this. itje's roms are praised all over the Xperia part of the forums and I like his roms as much as they do - there's just one problem. You know the sms program cooked into itje's TouchIT roms? The one with a seperate "Send" button and a black framed text entry box? Well, this text entry box won't stay on the button, right over the Windows Mobile softkeys, like it should. Instead, it floats about half an inch up from there, overlapping about 3 of the latest text messages in the conversation. This is really annoying, and makes me stick with the stock rom.

I noticed that somewhere in the TouchIT-threads someone also had this problem, and tried to solve it. After much searching I still can't find it, and belive me - I've searched like a freakin' narcotics dog.

My question is: Is there a way to delete this program and map the sms tab to open Windows Mobile sms? Or possibly a fix?

It's a shame some of us with this bug (I assume I'm not the only one) aren't able to enjoy all the great TouchFlo roms here because of this bug when maybe there's an easy fix. Since all the threads I've started before this one has been ignored, I hope this problem will get some attention anyways. I'm happy to test possible fixes, I'm used to re-flashing my X1 once a day. I don't think I'll come up with a fix myself since I don't have the knowledge of WinMo (yet!).

Regards

yeah, i have the same prob. i actually like windows sms better, when u go threw MESSAGES > ALL MESSAGES > anyone.

i would like to know a fix too.

HOW MANY TIMES DOES IT NEED TO BE REPEATED


if it was any lower it would conflict with the slide out tab in landscape the one that has the icons.

this is not a bug, it looks like it's how HTC designed it..

I've answered this before (as have other people) did it really need another new thread?

If you really believe this is just a part of Itjes roms then search the forum, loads of people on different devices have exactly the same thing..

go get a blackboard and repeat after me..

It's not a bug
100000 times...

then when you've finished you might actually bother pressing Allmessages instead of Startnew thread on the forum..

Hmm, I really tried to find a solution (or in this case, answer) but so what? This thread dies out soon, and a mod is free to delete it if it's in the way of more important stuff. Sheesh, it's like everyone on the internet is obliged to have their period when a question instead of an answer comes up. This is merely a bug report and you should treat it that way I think - as something constructive. Since you answered it so many times, why not decide NOT to answer it or answer it in a nice way? Either is fine with me but thanks for telling me it's not a bug.

This leads me to my next question, thus not making this thread obsolete and reeking of flame war stench - Is there a way to map the sms text to opening the message in WinMo sms? This is not necessary, of course, but to overpass the TouchFlo sms althrouh would be great.

oh come on, fards - you'd REALLY miss the opportunity for these little rants if these postings would stop alltogether tomorrow...

some people should read up the difference between show-stopper, bug and design-flaw though... (not sure if even the last one is right for this issue, what's the alternative?!)

Download mode9 editor, cruise the lua files until you find the one responsible for the messaging app, learn how to prgram lua and then code it to call tmail.exe instead of the HTC solution. Simple.

Or you could try cooking a ROM without the HTC message enhancements package?

Thanks for this answer, I've tried to cook my own rom but it came out rather buggy so I'll go with other roms while I'm learning.

Rather than being silly, you could A) search B) search C) press the allmessages which brings up the Winmo SMS app.

I even said it up the top (as I have before over and over again).

If there was a "fix" don't you think it would have been announced by now, or included in the roms?

May I offer a forth suggestion?

Try SSMaHo?

I have a bit of simpathy here, this 'feature' is rather unhelpful, but not as bad IMHO as the one that seems to lose my response mid type when I click somewhere wrongly (I honestly can't remember what) so I have to start again.

I tried that (or the newer one) that but couldn't get it too work, it was missing the hook.
