go to my faq.
search for the sms 160 fix.
it has a cab installer to install the registry edit,
and also the registry location for you to change this yourself aswell.

And or what rom(s) do that? It really bothers me that I can't tell where my sms's are getting split. Especially since the new outlook is the only reason I'm using 6.1 in the first place.

Thanks

I am using nfsfan.
It has all of those and more.
it's located at xda.
you can go to my faq thread mentioned above and there's a link to the rom's thread.
In a new message it shows it at the end of the message below a blue line.
In a continuing thread of messages it shows it in the title bar.

I cant remember why the difference, but I think 140 is the world wide standard. Twitter also splits at 140 or 160, i cant remember which one, but whatever they do is the standard

I believe it's 160.
That's what it was when I was at AT&T back in the day,
it is here at alltel,
and was told it's 160 at verizon also.

Hmmmm here is a contain of sms160fix.cab (Thanks to Codybear)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\ TextShared]
"IS637MaxAsciiCharacters"=dword:000000a0 (decimal 160)


In my ROM generic6.5 ROM +installed sprint dcd cab after flashing)
regentry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\ TextShared]

IS ABSOLUTELY EMPTY and I can send 160 charachters(tested myself).The counter is under blue line,after 160 it starts second sms...

My guess- its better to keep that entry clean,that way carrier will control the limit (the limit will be synced with carrier)+ less entryes=cleaner ROM.Am I right?

The best solution is to remove everything under this line:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\ TextShared]

I'll have to test this with nfsfan's rom too.
But I don't see why it wouldn't work deleting that info.
I'll try that out tomorrow.
but right now I'm about to go put a movie on
and pass the f*ck out.
haha.
