I have Advanced Searched XDA and others looking for an answer on this.
Problem In Manila2D if you have unread SMS messages it shows the # on the icon. To rid yourself of this you must touch the screen to open the message then OK to return to Manila2D messaging tab. This will get rid of the # on the tab.
Solution Add a Dismiss or Save as Read to the Menu drop box. Most SMS messages are short enough to be read entirely from the tab without having to open SMS/MMS.
If anyone has any ideas on this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
OK, I guess nobody has any thoughts on this. I have seen that there is a 3 second SMS mod that makes the notification go away after viewing the SMS tab for 3 secs. If anyone has more info on that I would appreciate it. Would be nice to make the change to any ROM running Manila2D. Thanks Again.
Hi
I've tried the search but I could'nt find anything because the words were too common. I'd like to change the behaviour of the people tab in manila 2D, so that when I click a picture it calls the person instead of opening up the contact file... I don't really understand why it does this anyway, because when you add a contact in the tab in the first way it asks you to choose either mail/sms or phone number, and even adds a little icon on the bottom...
Thanks everyone

I'm sure you've figured this out, but if you press on the bottom part of the contact picture (with the phone symbol or icon) it will call them.
I like the feature that when you tap the upper portion it open up contact info. If you want to text or email one of your fav contacts it's the easiest and quickest way to do so.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a feature of M2D that is built in and can't be changed. Kinda like asking for a calendar tab, or stock tab.

Just for future reference, it is against forum rules to double post. I know you found the Manila thread, after you already started this thread, but you should have search before starting a new thread.
I would've actually switched between the option if it was up to me
clicking the picture should call the person and the bottom part should bring up the contact's page.

Yeah, I agree that would be better. Sometimes my big thumb hits the picture when I'm in a rush.
P.s. I have to apologize for a double post as well, I answered his question in both threads.
lol, it's alright.
anyways, if it's changeable, herg will know what to do.. i'll see about that.
my problem is the opposite of this.
when i clik the picture in the people tab nothing happens. but when i click the name it calls the contact. how do i make it work to bing up the contact info when i clik the picture.
thanks
strangely buggy... I've never heard of that before. It might be the skin. try changing it use M2D customizer and see what happens.
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!)
I was thinking it's be pretty slick to have a widget that displays your frequent calls on the home screen like the tab inside dialer, something that updates as your calls change, doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to code.
does something like this possibly exist already?

I know of a way to create a folder with favorite callers.....but not a widget
in contacts long press on contact place them in favorites.
long press homscreen create a folder pick starred contacts.
I was actually talking about the "frequently callerd" under the favorites. Those are changing all the time, so it'd be slick if you could have a widget that auto updates as well.
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?
