Idea for new threaded SMS app to be used on Vogue.

[DHarvey]

Since I bought my Touch, I have been using the Threaded SMS app for text messaging and I love the app but as great as the app is, it doesn't work that well with the UI of the Touch. The onscreen keyboard covers up the input panel and because the texts are linear with the newest texts at the bottom, you can't see new texts with the keyboard open either.

This is what I propose:

I think it would be awesome to see a new version of the Threaded SMS application that is reversed. A version that has the input panel at the top with linear text messages showing the newest messages at the top instead of bottom. This would solve a lot of typos and you would actually be able to see what you are typing while still keeping that threaded SMS look and making having a conversation through text messaging that much easier. Also I think the registry in this app needs to be cleaned up a bit or re-written. It has many bugs like not always showing the new message counter on the home plugin or showing the counter on the plugin but not on the taskbar. Also sometimes it does not alert you of a new message so I think that a few tweaks is all it would really need aside from being redone reversed.

The original version is attached below to be used as a base for modification.

I am willing to pay for this application to be revised. I really like the Threaded SMS app but it is just not "Vogue Friendly".

Great Idea, even I would be willing to pay or donate to something like this, but honestly, if it was going to happen then it would have by now. Unless someone was secretly working on it and wanted to make it a late Christmas present for everyone... but unlikely.

Thats probably true but then again it wouldn't hurt to get the idea out there in case someone with the skills to modify the app was interested in taking on the task.

Yeah but I was also saying that b/c this isn't the first time Ive seen this kinda thread before. (85% positive)

Still you can only hope that sometime soon there will be a nice alternative...

+1 I would love to see it myself, or even a knew one all together with a better look.

But lets not change the thread over to a "whats a better sms app" discussion...

what about just making the text box move up when the keypad shows up, much like oz instant messenger does?

Even that would be better than what were stuck with right now. I personally think it would be better just to invert the application effectively flipping it upside down so that it is reversed.
