smschat? is the only one?

hi folks..but sms chat is only one? any other softwarehouse develop any sms program?
thx in advance

You want 3rd party sms software? I know that vito makes a sms program and there's another free app called smileysms. Hope this is what you needed.

yes..i want a 3rd part software..for sms because wm is horrible..but i don't like so much smschat..and isn't possible this is the only one ç___ç

I'm not sure why everyon suggests SmileySMS. I installed it, and the **** was horrible. Beyond not looking all that great (yeah, I know... which is debatable), but it was causing... yes CAUSING random soft resets from time to when I got a new SMS and tried to open it.
So yeah, damn that one for me.

trackball

is there anyway to make the trackball light up for txt messages

Yes, but it would require the creator of an sms app to make it happen.
About a week ago I found what command needs to be sent to our phone to control the trackball, but the creator of handcent or chomp would need to add that command in to their app.

I was wondering that just the other day - not so much a toggle in the system, but I was hoping someone would make an app that would utilize the trackball light. It would be cool if it would blink with a txt message.

Handcent SMS has a option for this

I see an update for handcent in the market that states it works on the hero now. Will test and report back.
UPDATE: Yeah, its a no go with this version. I thought maybe someone sent the developer the commands that would make it work. The timing seemed perfect for this scenario.

Ive been wondering the same thing. Thanks ill check out that app now. Ive had a nokia 6300 for a while and the LED's oni the side flash when i have a txt or a missed call. Id like an app that does something similar to this

Well, I have that version of Handcent installed, set the tackball to light up every 5 seconds and still no luck it doens't work

Hey flipz first of all thanks for the AMAZING work you are doing around here, I really apreciate it.
Second of all, would it be possible for you to get in contact with the developer of Handcent and tell him about this commands? Or even if I can be the messenger and let him know one way or the other? I think this would be a nice add to any Message app.
Thanks in advance!

I just sent an email to the dev with how to do it. I'll let you all know if I hear back from him/her.

Tried out the new version today, still a no go with lighting the trackball on our CDMA heros.

When I was researching the Hero prior to Sprint getting it i saw on a Youtube video that the trackball would blink for some alerts. Guess Sprint thought it was frivolous.

Yea. The option is built in and can be trigger manually. We just don't have any apps that currently use it or trigger it properly. The location of the trigger has changed slightly from the GSM Hero which is why apps that currently do support it for that phone don't work on ours.

honestly, just uninstalled handcent. I could not deal with the slowness of the scrolling plus the frequent issues with MMS downloading.
trying out sms popup along with picsay to see if this is a good workaround.
why can't everything just work and work fast!? oy!!

Hey guys,
Flipz sent me some code yesterday to tinker with. I was planning on working on this tonight. I will let you know tommorow if I actually have any luck getting it to come on in a test app.

Has anyone tried the new version of handcent? To see if the developer included the trackball suport? It was release today i think. Version 2.9.22

That sucks! The Eris's track ball pulses when i get messages of any type or phone call. I think it has to do with the carrier. But i don't know alot so don't quote that.

Just to update you guys I was working directly with the developer. He sent me 5 different test builds but couldn't get the trackball working. He seemed a bit distracted while we were talking though because I kept having to tell him stuff that I had already said. heh.
kcarpenter and I are still working on a work-around, but I haven't been able to help him out much between being out of town and now working on the kitchen.

Thanks for the update flipz!! Maybe the Eris configuration for the trackball can help?

@Daveli, maybe you are familiar enough with the phone to pull the LED directory of the Eris. Post it up here with a zip?

Is there a fix for google voice on the 2.1 roms?

I've got a workaround going through the browser but something for the app would be nice.

Yes I have searched the threads.

What's the problem? I installed GV fine on my phone, and am using it for voicemail.

that's pretty interesting, I didn't realize mine was broke untill you said something.... interesting... hmm
now are you sure it's all 2.1 roms? darch's 2.1 aosp I could have sworn google voice was working on it.
EDIT: check outgoing phone calls via google voice

Are you on fresh or Darch?

was darch, now fresh, will go back to darch once he updates to .29 kernel

My GV works perfect on Gumbo 2.1

If I need to dial out to somewhere it matters I gotta go through the web browser. Just like I had to on my blackberry.

it probally has something to do with the dialer in fresh, maybe replaceing that with an aosp dialer or cyanogen modded one would work.

How would I pull that out of the rom?

pull and replace the following
\system\app\phone.apk
\system\app\phone.odex
I think that's it... I'm not a rom cooker, so would need confirmation, there's probably other dependencies... my untrained jedi guestimate

It looks like Fresh de-odexed all the apk's so... none of the apps currently use the .odex. I think that causes problems when you try and push a file that is built to use both .apk and .odex. That's my guess. I was trying to push Teeter, but it won't work (I think) for this reason.

I'm having the same problems! GV decides if it's in the right mood or not to make outgoing calls. Sometimes it works, other times it's just nonstop insta-fails. Has anyone pegged down what this issue is?
Also, the SMS delay is much more severe. I was using double SMS workaround (SMS to GV# and Sprint# to force GV to refresh) with fresh 1.1, but that doesn't seem to be working now with 2.0. I'm updating to 2.0b, but I doubt that will quell these issues.
I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this one. Thanks!

I haven't gotten it to work once. Add this to the list of problems I have had with every Rom with the word fresh in it.

In my case, the GV issue is more severe since it's costing me $$. I use Google Voice to call family in Canada. Using GV, calls are free. I just checked my Sprint minutes usage and turns out that the last call I made was billed via Sprint. Sucks! 13 minutes, $6.37. This really does need to get figured out!
Measter, how are you making calls via the browser? When I try to access the Google Voice site, it sees that I'm on an Android device and tells me to download the app from the Market.

Never worked for me. Every time I tried it said the call was lost. Probably tried 50-60 times, as someone i think mentioned that it "occasionally" worked. Either way occasionally isn't good enough

Same here.

suckage
I just checked this out and it doesn't work for me on Fresh 2.0b. I was running Darch's rom before and I didn't notice if it was working or not, no one I called complained that I was doing it from the wrong number (I use GV as my primary number) but that doesn't mean it was working because I only used it for a day or so.
Luckily it's hopefully only going to be a short wait for an offical 2.1, then shortly after that we'll have a nice new flipz rom.

[APP] Instant messaging app that using SMS?

Are there any out there? I loved the tmobile IM.apk back when I had the g1 but it doesn't work on froyo and the modified version uses data.
Is there anything else out there that uses SMS instead of data?

I know that AIM has a sms version of their protocol. you can sign on via sms, send ims and receive IMs all via sms. As for an application that does this specifically, I don't know of any, sorry >.<

+1. I want an SMS IM app as well.

Which protocol or any? I know AIM already supports this.

yeah aim supports it, but there isnt an actual aim app that actually does it for nexus rite now i believe. the official aim app uses data like many other third party IM apps.

In a perfect world someone would port the one from the G1 to work with froyo. Oh why did Google do away with it?

[Q] 3G internet-based sms client?

You know how tethering with PDANet allows you to use the sms client on your computer? Is there a similar app that connects via wifi/3g? When I'm at work I hate typing on that tiny-ass keyboard when I'm sitting at a full-size computer.
I use Google Voice when possible but I don't want my friends to need two phone numbers for me. I suppose I could just use GV as the primary...
Any ideas?

Look for smshare. I just found it three days ago, and it's awesome!

That looks pretty neat. No usb cable required?

No, no cables required.
The Data exchange is done over 2G or 3G Network.
But SMS isn't much data, so it won't hurt your Data limit.

Interesting... will check it out.

I have also tried bloove now, but i must say it is very limited if you use the free version.
No auto-Sync feature for the android app: You always have to start the app on your phone that the sms are sent. And also SMS are not stored if you have edited them on the webinteface.
The App has to be opened on your phone while you send the sms on the webinteface.
Smshare has all these features, but it's main problem is that the Addon is only available for Chrome right now, and until now it is not possible to send SMS directly from smshare's Webinterface. But according to smshares blog it will "soon" be possible to send SMS also through the webinterface. So i hope tis problem will be solved soon.

That's very strange, in what folder did you try to edit sms and it's not stored?

Yes, that is how things are working, we're going to add "always running" option in future versions.
