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.

I would like to change the layout and size of the photo on the caller id/incoming call screen.
I've seen Photo Contacts Pro - not interested. I just want to use the regular contacts system but have a better incoming call screen. At least a larger photo. This can't be that hard of a hack eh?

Thanks Sebastian, but after trying it, I don't like it. It doesn't seem to work quite like the rest of WM5/6.
All I really want is an app that allows me to redesign the incoming/outgoing caller screen and use the photos already linked in the contacts database on the phone.
Ah well. Looks like I'll be waiting for someone to write it.

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.
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

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..
Hello
Since sensation has high resolutions screen contact number fonts in contact list is very small. It is very difficult to read after 40 years of age
This is one of the basic function of this device. It is very difficult to see without to magnifier. Pinch to zoom works elsewhere but not here.
Could you tell me a way to see text in contacs program without carrying magnifier in my pocket
Thanks
Have you tried installing a different font?
Maybe you need to change you glassess. My common sense saying you are wearing glasses
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
It looks like htc has forgatten to announce that People over 40 needs to buy glasses together with sensation even if they dont need normally
System font shange affects many things. It changes design completely I think
That is why I am looking for another solution
HTC keeps forgetting that not everyone has perfect eyesight, I have trouble reading many HTC applications and widgets. Most annoying to me was/is* the Calendar app: Appointment details usually span less than 35% of the screen, and you can't zoom in. Contacts are also an issue, but I usually tap phone and start typing the name on the numeric keypad, I keep typing until one name is left, which I then tap to call / send message / ..
I am happy with the SMS Application and Mail application though - pinch-to-zoom works on both now (Previously it would only work on Mail I believe).
*: I use Simple Calendar Widget by Alex Gavrishev, which is fully customizable.
you forgot incoming calls as well ...
font is just wayyyyyy too small !!! HTC expects all of my contacts to have PICTURES

Yes, You absoultely right
For example, When driving, or doing something else It is impossible to see phone numbers during incoming calls
This is a phone and We should see contact names and phone number easily and clearly. This is highest priority I think
