SMS-Chat questions - General Questions and Answers

I was using Vito's SMS-chat for awhile and really like the thumb friendly interface. One problem that I noticed though was that if someone sent me a MMS, SMS-chat cannot handle this and will only show you the subject title. So then if you were to close this you would never realize that you actually had an image waiting for you to be viewed in your messages folder. Also another bad thing about SMS-chat is that if your using S2U2 and its on the lock screen and you get a SMS, the giant white notification window pops open (and stays open) on top of the lock screen rather than just being a little bubble counter like the other notifications.
So my question is, can I just use SMS-chat as a means of composing new text messages because the interface is more finger friendly and only for that. What I mean is, how do I have SMS-chat installed by yet make my phone use the stock SMS/MMS handler to alert, accept and view new incoming/waiting messages?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

for the bubble
go to sounds notification settings
go to receive sms then you can choose what things happen from there including turning off on screen notification
as far as the button im not sure but i hope so since thats one thing il really miss from the 8525 the message button is real nice
is pocketcm all that useful when 6.1 has the threaded sms and it has touchflo?
Thanks for so fast answer. Yes this solution work fine I was all day looking throw registry to find it, and it was so simple ...
About PocketCM it is I think old habbit, but if there is no know solution to this then maybe I should think to habituate to thouchflo ...
Thanks

noo problem
with the threaded on there is your inbox setup like pocketcm with just one message per recipient or is it in order of message recieved and only threaded when you open it?
In threaded there is one message per person like in PocketCM.

Contact Manager, SMS, and Dialer Quesions

I am new to WM and I love all of the customization that can be done. I am looking at a few different apps to run along with SPB Shell and I can't decide what to do. I have three apps I am looking into all with pros and cons. If anyone can help point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!
Phone Extension
The main thing I like about this app is the fact that it has a dialer. Dialers seem to be few and far between on the Omnia (WQVGA). Everything else here is good but doesn't really jump out and grab me like the other two. When scrolling through the contacts it tends to get jumpy somtimes.
PocketCM
I love this app (especially with the htctoucher gloss theme) but it is missing two key components: a dialer and a call log (I know you can look at it along with sms, but I would like a separate one). My favorite part has to be the SMS feature. It looks so professional and I love the text bubbles. It does have a tendency to jump around and not run as smooth as the Resco Contact though. With a dialer and a call log I would definitely go with this (if I could get it to run a little smoother that would be better too). I saw that Htctoucher has a gloss dialer that goes well with the contact manager but it doesn't work in WQVGA.
Resco Contact Manager
This program runs the best of the three but I would like for it to be skinable or at least have another color option. It definitely runs the smoothest of the three, but it also is missing a dialer. I like how it has a threaded read of your text messages but I wish it had one that functioned more like PocketCM's. One that had the look with the text bubbles, and one that allowed you to type right at the bottom of the screen while still seeing the other messages. This program does run with two flaws though. The phonepad doesn't stay up when I hit the button sometimes and the taskbar displays at the top over the program.
In all I am looking for an SMS app that looks like the one in PocketCM, very professional and lets me type while seeing my old messages (I tried out SmileySMS but it's not nearly the same). If possible I would like that to be integrated into a contact manager with pictures in the contact list and a call log to show all incoming, outgoing, and missed calls. And finally a dialer that goes along with the other two. Oh and if you could get all of that to run smoothly together that would be amazing.
Thanks!
(I am know I am being picky, but I figure I would see what thoughts others had. Thanks in advance!)

Diamond2 - Change default text size on SMS messages

hallow all
i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective
Regards,
PK
Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!
I forgot about that simple solution, at least it works in my diamond2

PK
thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks
On WM6.1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontFace
That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..

Incoming MMS showing as a slide show.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for my question but I thought I would start here. I have an Nexus 5 and love AOSP style SMS applications. I don’t like how most show incoming pictures as a slide show. To be specific if someone sends 1 picture it displays as normal, if someone sends 2 pictures at one time it displays as a slide show. Hate it! I know some SMS apps don’t do this but it has been my findings that AOSP style SMS apps do. I really like Slide SMS for the customization and the close AOSP styling but the incoming photo processing drives me nuts! Is there and easy fix for this? Any input from the community would be great. Thank you in advance.

[Q] GMAIL, HANGOUT, MESSAGES, CONTACTS irritating design decisions

RE: GMAIL, HANGOUT, MESSAGES, CONTACTS irritating design decisions
I was using Google Hangouts but am fed up of the way it hides the last message of a thread when the keyboard comes up. If i try and drag the message thread upwards to see what's obscured by the keyboard the keyboard itself then disappears and I'm back to square one.
I've looked briefly at the android default messages app and that's even worse. The valuable screen real estate is eaten up by a left pane when displaying a message thread. Yes you can minimise the pane by dragging left but then you find the messages don't resize to use the screen real estate you've just freed up!
Can anyone recommend a decent messaging app please?
PS Actually the default contacts app does the same, I can't seem to find a way to see a contact, full screen, so a sizeable portion of the screen is taken up by the pane containing a list of your contacts.
PS Also I've just remembered Gmail does the same. When you put your tablet in a landscape position when viewing an email you would expect to see your email full screen. No it squashes your email slightly and gives you an extra pane to view your list of emails without giving you the option to change this.
Does this p|ss anyone else off?
