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.

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

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.

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..
Hi,
There is a WinMo setting to always request SMS receipts when using the WinMo interface to send SMS. When you are using the nicer Topaz SMS view one has to always manually re-select this. This is annoying. Is there some kind of Manila registry setting?
I think there is two seperate settings for this.
start messaging app (programs - all programs - Message app, i got swedish D2) then select menu then options. Select sms/mms and tick box for message recipt.
The other setting im not certain about, for the touchflo, but it should be somewhere.. Write back if this doesn't help.
ah, hang on a minute. I just tested this and I also need to manualy check the box for recipt. Annoying, bah.. Why have two individual settings for this?
HD tweak has no setting for this..
I'm also looking for this answer....

Yes, you can set up it in registry
[\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs]
Create a Dword key name “SMSDeliveryNotify” and set the value to 0x000001, if the key is already there, just change the value.
Save it to the registry and soft reset the device, and you are all done, now the “request message delivery notification” option is always ticked except when forwarding messages.
Or use Advanced Config

Tried to use it and it only changes the winmo default messaging app (this setting can allready be changed in options/settings for messaging), but still dont affect the manila SMS app.
You can try this yourself, press on favorite contacts - all people - select a person and then select the 2nd box on the left (sms icon) and type a message. Here you wont get a delivery notification unless you select menu - message option - request delivery notification.
Same bug mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518306
When I read a text message in TF3D preview, it automatically clears the notification. Is there a work around to also do this with the mail preview? Most of my emails are short but after reading the preview, I still have to go into the messaging inbox, select each message and then OK back out to TF3D.
Go into Inbox, then Menu/Select Messages/Several. Select the unread ones, hold the stylus on one and select Mark as Read.
Use this - it works on mine. Disable Touch Flo on your Start/Settings/Today/Items, then use Total Commander and move/replace the manila file in your Windows folder, then re-start Touch Flo and this should cure this bug.

Can you please explain what this actually does and what version of sense it's for? I would very much like to be able to mark an email as read without having to actually pull up the email. Either a menu option during preview, a new button or just the fact that it was previewed would work for me.
BTW (to the original poster), I use S2U2 and it allows you to preview emails while locked and mark them as read.

This doesn't mark an email as read without having to actually pull up the email. What it does is exactly what WMGuy wanted. It clears the envelope in the taskbar without having to open the email in WM. This manila file works with touch flo 2.0. I'm not sure if it will work with 2.1, 2.5 or 2.6. The only thing I can suggest is that you back up the manila file from your Windows folder first and then try....
With regard to your request to be able to mark an email as read, you are lucky you get a preview in the first place - if you use Blackberry to get your emails, you don't get a preview! It gives you the sender and subject but just says "click to open message"!!!! So I'm sorry, but I can't help with your question kravguy. I would actually like something for this too. With the option to delete it as well.
You could try this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265

I have searched on manila 2.5 and this file doesn't exist in windows folder so maybe this is only for manila 2.1.

I don't know about 2.1 as I have 2.0. Perhaps it doesn't exist but should do???

You mean place the file there even if it doesn't exist and see what's happen???
I can try that
EDIT: doesn't do anything!! So for manila 2.5 we must find other way to clear notification in tab mail on preview.
I really want a solution for this because in most cases the preview is enough for me so why enter the inbox to mark as read??
Well I've been in a flashing marathon for a few days. I'll gladly go back to 2.0 for this reason alone. 2.5 is nice but kinda busy and slow for me anyway.
So just to clarify mitsi, when you get an email, you slide to the email tab, read the preview and then the notification clears automatically from the envelope (after applying the file)?
Thanks

Yes, that's right. If you're going to flash a 2.0 rom instead, why not just try this manila to see if it works on your 2.5 first? I'd be interested to know. I prefer 2.0 to 2.1/2.5 anyway because I want at least 4 appointments showing on my today screen even if they are up to a month in advance....
Didn't somebody already try and it didn't work?
BTW, what ROM are you using?

You're right, Zimaia edited his post and I didn't notice it.
I'm using the HTC Stock Rom 1.39.405.2 (47382) with Manila 2.0.37889.1. It works fine for me.
I'm kinda surprised that this isn't a bigger issue or that HTC didn't think to add a little more functionality in the email preview tab. 2 (what seems to be easy) functions (delete and mark as read)... there's a reply (to all which is another frustrating thing to me) but nothing else? My main problem is this, I get some emails in, and want to delete some and keep some. Well, since I cant do that from the preview, I have to go to the inbox. Problem with that though is that I have no way of scrolling through them to delete here and there (maybe I'm missing something here). I can pop up the menu and click on the option to select multiple messages, but that's not really what I want. I want to do something like, select the fourth message in the list (without opening it), delete it, then select the 6th, etc. I can't seem to get the zoombar to work.
If I'm understanding you correctly, to delete the 4th message in the list without opening it, just tap and hold on the message and a context menu will pop up with delete as an option.
Well I tried it with 2.1 and it was a no go also. So I can verify that 2.1 and 2.5 don't work. I even found the exact file I was supposed to be replacing so I was excited. But all it did was shrink down the size of the preview folder. Message notification stays.
Hopefully a solution will come to this someday soon.

I tried s2u2. I have all Lock System Notfications on. When I preview the message on the lock screen: A) I can't seem to figure out how to mark them as read without going into messaging and B) I can't figure out how to browse through all of the previews (ie if I have more than 1 new email).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

When the preview comes up, tap and hold on the message till it goes away. It should mark it as read (if you have that turned on in the settings) and then the next preview should come up.

What about tapping and holding the message you want to delete?
i would also like to be able to have preview mark an item read, like outlook has the opttion after X seconds to mark an item read when using the preview pane
Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.
