PictureSMS 1.12 for Palm OS

About PictureSMS 1.12

PictureSMS is the premiere application for the Treo that utilizes picture caller ID on incoming SMS. It implements effective and easy-to-use user interface for sending and receiving text messages while being fashionable and attractive at the same time. Treo’'''s built-in messaging application is so bare and really basic, so it has become boring most of the time. PictureSMS provides everything that the built-in has plus tons of more new cool and useful features, such as Picture caller ID, MP3 message tone, SMS blocking, Text Scheduler, Memo and text file utilization, plus a lot more. This is the best replacement SMS application for Treo.

Want to schedule a message to send at a specific date and time? Now you can. One of the main features of PictureSMS is the Text Scheduler. Unlike the built-in messaging program, which limits you to only sending messages manually, the Text Scheduler has the ability to schedule outgoing messages automatically.

NOTE: Setup the media setting first.

Release History

PictureSMS 1.12 - November 21, 2007

1. SMS Scheduler and Compose New SMS now support adding recipients by contact category (e.g. Unfiled, Business, Personal, etc.). Only Mobile phones will be recognized and added. Applicable to both Treo built-in phonebook and PictureSMS addressbook.
2. PictureSMS now supports any picture sizes including the pictures taken using the Treo camera to fit the whole screen of the New SMS window and the LilPic pictures. No need to resize the pictures on your PC/Mac. PictureSMS will do the resizing without affecting the original. However, the ideal sizes for picture caller ID and LilPic still stand, so you can have better control.
3. Added support for the Palm Centro.
4. Added picture preview while selecting picturs in Picture media setting and LilPic setting.
5. Added QuickText template.
6. Added support for Treo camera pictures located in the \DCIM or in any folder of the SD Card. PictureSMS will automatically display the pictures taken from the Treo camera to fit the whole screen of the New SMS window without physically resizing the original. This is a cool new feature.
7. All pictures now load 45% faster than the previous versions. This is the result of supporting pnoJpegLib. JpegLib is no longer supported. pnoJpegLib is available in the zip file or can be downloaded using PictureSMS.
8. Searching for a contact in PictureSMS Address book is now smarter. Implementing the search-while-typing SQL query scheme. For Example, if you want to search for the contacts that starts with the name John, just type John. If you want to find the contacts with the name John ANYWHERE in the contact's name, just use the asterisk wildcard as the prefix *John. NOTE: Wildcard search is slower than the normal search. Thanks to twitch3 of TreoCentral for the suggestion.
9. Implements better heap memory management.
10. ALLCONTACTS media setting can now be manually added and deleted.
11. Fixed some bugs.
12. FREE: pSMSLauncher plug-in (2Kb). This plug-in will let you compose and send SMS anywhere in your Treo. You can put it on your launcher and manually launch it. Or assign it to a button for the long-press or key combination access. No need to go to the main PictureSMS or the Treo phonebook contacts just to send SMS. If Nokia phones can do it, so can we. hehe.
