Here is a simple way on how to increase SMS storage capacity for Sony Ericsson phones, using Far Manager.
TESTED ON: K500, K700, K750, W800, Z520
Might work on some other phones too. Does not work on W810.
HOW TO DO THIS USING XS++
Connect your phone using Far Manager, in the normal way, entering the FS
Open the location /ifs/settings/messaging and copy the file pref_store.txt to your computer (and make another backup copy of it on your comp)
Now open the file in Notepad and replace the only line there: /smsdata with /tpa and save it.
Now delete the original file from your phone, and put this edited file instead.
Now browse back and open the tpa folder and create the following directory structure:
/tpa/messaging
/tpa/messaging/sms
/tpa/messaging/sms/msg
/tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
/tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/pending
/tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/sm
/tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/sr
/tpa/system/messaging/sms
Some folders would be already present, but make sure the directories look the above (copy those FFFs from above and paste them while giving a name to the new folders you create to avoid errors)
Done -- now unpatch your main if its required for your phone and then restart the phone.
You can now store as many SMSes as you like
HOWEVER, in practice you can only store about 1000 messages, beyond that number and the inbox access becomes painfully slow. In theory you can store 40000 or more.
