Threaded / Classic SMS view? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off the threaded view in Messages, and have the older, classic style?

I doubt it. Android uses threaded messaging and i have never seen any other layout.
It's not like windows mobile where you can just turn it off, or at least, not afaik it isn't.
Anyone know any different or of any apps that change it?

Has anyone made a SMS Application?

I am looking for a "iphone like" messaging software. I like the sms built into PocketCM, but don’t like the rest of the program. Any suggestions?
I have tried:
Sms Chat - would use it if you could get skins for it
PocketCm - the sms is great but you have to access the whole program to use it. And you also cannot set it to be the default sms.

i use sms chat, why would you want skins for it? as long as it's functional thats the main thing.. adding skins would uneccessarily make the program bulky and slow it down.

I agree. I use sms-chat & love it just the way it is.....
I just wish I could receive MMS pics within the app, but none of them do that.....

SMS Tweaker
I use SMS Tweaker and like it a lot. It even lets you set a background pic to your messages when not in Threaded Mode.

Chronological display in threaded messaging

hi all,
actually i never want to make a new thread for this, but i've searched for all related post regarding this problem, and i got nothing. Well, the closest solution that i've found is the Zenyee's disable htc messaging interface application, but even that is not working for me.
the problem is the sms messages display in chronological manner, even though of course the threaded messaging option is "ON" by default. This problem only occur if you open the sms by using the manila sms interface (or directly by tap the sms tab), but if you open the sms conversation by using the WM, it looks just fine. I know, maybe it's a porting bug that hasn't been able to be solve (or maybe it isn't).
I just wanna know if anybody has a same problem with me. If yes, what have you done to solve this problem? and one more thing, is there anyway to change the shortcut of the sms tab, so when you tap the sms tab, it takes you to the WM sms display, instead of taking you to the manila sms interface?
i'm using ROMeOS V3.O1 WWE. WM 6.5 . MANILA 2
i'm really thankful and appreciate for all the response to this post.

Any way to 'swipe to delete' in Handcent SMS

Coming from an iPhone where swipe to delete is a core OS feature (as it is in Palm OS), I find myself missing it in Android. K9 Mail has this function (not as elegant, but it works), but is there any way to add it to Handcent SMS? The standard method is very slow if you're used to something else.
Thanks!

messaging / text / imessage question

Looking to see if anyone knows of a way to link the ipod imessage app to android? looking for a way to be able to send my kids messages from my vibrant via text to their imessage apps on their ipods. Don't really want to set up and use something like a whatsapp, would rather let them use the native imessage if possible. Let me know if you know of anything. Thanks.

[Q] Advice on purchase + capabilities (SMS)

Hey folks,
So here's the rundown.
My wife is deaf and communicates a whole lot via SMS. She cannot use voice telephony at all.
I am on Verizon, and they do have the Z2 available. I was looking at tablets that should support SMS.
Verizon does SMS via CDMA only so most of their tablets won't do SMS period. They tell me it is impossible, except I have a friend with an older Nexus 7 with CDMA and it works perfectly with straight SMS.
I have a tablet with LTE, and when I send a SMS message from it, it says it is coming from my phone, not the number assigned to the tablet....(this uses the built-in Verizon Messages app)
What I want to know is if I can add an SMS app, set it as the default, and then actually use it?
In the store, I installed 8SMS but Verizon appears to have removed the menu entries for setting default SMS app, and nor could I do it from within the application.
So, two things: Has anyone done this? Could someone give it a try?
Also, I am reading a whole lot about issues with the touch screen I had never heard of. Is this really wide-spread, or just a small sampling of this model? I really want a solid device for her to use. This will replace her phone and existing tablet if I can get the SMS to work. Do you recommend this device overall?
Yes, I know, I could install some crap app that emulates SMS but I really need to port her number and have the reliability of SMS. Frankly, I don't trust the companies providing SMS gateways on the internet...
I could possibly port her number to Google Voice, and just have her use that. Anyone know how reliable that would be?
