Alternate Threaded SMS

I am trying to get the Palm 800w Threaded SMS working on the Touch Pro 2, but having a few problems. I'm not too fond of the default SMS program and I absolutely LOVED the 750v SMS app when I used it on my T-Mobile Wing (I even got MMS working on it ). The problem with the 750v on the TP2 is that when I try to compose a MMS message, I keep getting an "Out of Memory" error, regardless of how much memory is available. So, I did some searching and stumbled on the Palm 800w Threaded SMS application found HERE and gave it a whirl.

For the most part, it works, but it doesn't intercept SMS immediately. It can take several minutes before a message is actually received especially if the program is closed. Another thing that's really irritating is that the TouchFlo finger scroll (I think that's what it's called) does not work properly in the 800w program. When you swipe down in a conversation to go to previous messages, it immediately shoots you to the first message. Once you are at the first message, if you swipe up to go to newer messages, it only scrolls down 1 line and stops. The only way to reliably scroll through messages is to use the scroll bar... and a little part of me dies every time I do.

I've been able to come up with 2 fixes so far...

1.) Install only the 750v app and live without MMS
2.) Install the 750v app, then the 800w on top of it. This gives working MMS and perfect SMS interception.

So if anybody could offer some insight, I would greatly appreciate it... especially with the finger scroll issue. Thanks in advance!
