Cody's Threaded SMS

qbunnie · #1 (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 03:10 AM

I've been using Cody's threaded SMS app for a few months now. No real problems, other than it somewhat randomly opens itself up. Just wondering if there was an update I missed for a fix. I searched for a while but couldn't find anything.
I did see that Cody posted a set of instructions on treocentral that was different from what I did. My install was just a .cab, and didn't include overwriting files. Is this a change I need to do for a newer version of the app? If so, does it fix the randomly opening problem? I don't have the outlook messaging stuff anymore, so its not like i missed a step or anything.

This is really the only reason I'm considering switching to WM6.1.
If there was a fix, I would be fine with 6.0 for a while longer. Thanks.

Mods: I know PPCGeeks can't post up the Threaded SMS app anymore, but hopefully it was OK to ask for support. If its not, feel free to close the thread.

I appreciate your advise. I have a lot of sensitive information on my microSD card, some personal, some professional. Until the encryption on the microSD is finalized, I'm gonna have to wait. That, or I stop using my Mogul for work for a while. If you have any information related to the OP problem, let me know.

Cody's instructions are for older AKU builds of WM5. You should be using a newer version of the app installer which is just a single cab. The latest version is the WM6 threaded SMS which was pulled from a WM6 upgraded Treo 750. That has been out for a while though and you might already have it installed.

Thanks. 2 questions though:
1) So does this mean the random opening of the app has not been fixed?

and

2) In HTC Home, when I hit the middle text messages button, it opens both my email AND Cody's SMS app. And the number also doesn't work (goes to 2, then goes back to 0 on incoming text) Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

I had the app randomly open, but I didn't have the 2nd issue you described and I used it for over a year (Treo 700wx then on my Mogul).

no2chems encryption is fixed and i believe so is dcds.

dcd's is not fixed...
"KNOWN ISSUES:
Encryption had to be completely removed to be fixed.
PIE will NOT work with cache located on storage card. WM6.1 bug."
Are you sure no2chem's has encryption?
Even if it does, it isn't helping my OP. I know I can upgrade, but it is currently my personal preference not to. I will once either dcd or no2chem put out a finalized build.
If you know a fix to either the app opening (which looks like everybody deals with)
or at least the HTC Home error, please let me know.
I am using the HHC final V1.0 and HTC v 2.1 with the fix for local cities.
I have installed/uninstalled the SMS app and HTC Home, still does the same thing.
Just based on observation, it looks like when hit the text messages button it first opens the messaging selector (with all your emails) and THEN opens text messaging. If it is the threaded SMS app, then it opens the Palm application. If it is the built in poutlook app, it simply 'selects' the text messaging option on the selector screen. I say this because even when the threaded SMS app isn't installed, the selection screen comes of for a split second. Is there a registry fix or something for this? And is it related to why the number is flaky? Thanks.
Thanks.

yea i have the problem as you, the first not the second, its really annoying sometimes. I know we are not allowed to do anything with the Codyppc Threaded SMS on this forum but if anyone knows of a way to fix that first problem please let me know. Thanks

well i dont use dcds rom i use no2chems it is simply a suggestion i personally didnt care for codys sms because of my on screen keyboard.i believe it will be a long time till either of them think about having a final build. i have the two programs you mentioned installed on his most recent build and everything works awesomely.the encryption issue is addressed here.
