Is somebody able to create a shortcut (.lnk) or a registry tweak which opens directly a new blank MMS on WM6 ?
That was not very diffictult on WM5 but I don't find the solution on WM6.
Have a look here...
http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2005/08/22/454922.aspx
if you edit the following file and rename it, you might get a reult.
I cant edit this on my PC at work though.
This works with WM5, but unfortunately with WM6, if rename the target from SMS to MMS, it opens only this :
It works for me with SMS on WM6
Make sure you have the option unchecked to automatically open your Accounts list.
Other than that, it should work fine
It doesn't.
The option is unchecked.
That's the limit of my knowledge on this subject
Hope somebody else can help
In my case, I change the Softkeys...
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Default = SMS
Open = tmail.exe
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.
Turn off the phone, wait 20 sec. soft reset
Tanks for help.
I can create a shortcut for all programms, that is not a problem. Create a shortcut for SMS is not a problem. But a f...ing lnk for a new MMS is impossible.
I think that on WM6 MMS is a mail plug-in, not an application.
Any other idea ?
I wouldn't worry about it too much, apparently in the newest version of arcsoft MMS they seperated sms and mms again, so the old link should work again. Now I just have to find that thread again to see if someone put a cab file for it yet.
Great news ! Thanks Xeno1
Sorry to raise your hopes only to dash them again. Apparently, so far at least, the only way to get this to work is to install it by cab to a ROM that was cooked without MMS. If you install it over the top of an already installed version or cook it in to the ROM MMS quits working all together. I'll let you know though if anyone figures out how to fix it.
OK, thanks for the news.
One and a half year later, I try once again. Is anyone able to create this shortut ?
This is not the solution (It woud be to easy) :
Code:
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "MMS" -to ""

Hi
The O2 Active rubbish that comes on the XDA IIs allows you to go straigh to your pop3 inbox via a link in its menu. When I use the hardware email button on the front, it starts up inbox, but it aint my pop3 inbox its the default outlook inbox.
Is there any way of assigning custom actions to a hardware button? Such that pressing the email button pulls up pocket outlook pointing at my pop3 inbox??
Also, whats the best registry editor prog for windows mobile 2003 devices?

Sorted for anyone who is interested
Hi
Sorted this. For anyone whos interested:
Use activesync to copy the file \Windows\AppButtons\Messaging.lnk to your PC. Edit the file with notepad. You could also edit it on the device, but I prefer a decent keyboard!!
The Messaging.lnk file will read something like:
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe"
Change it to read something like
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "ServiceName"
The number on the front (in my case #19) should be kept the same as it is currently on your device.
ServiceName could be: Text, MMS, MyPopAcc, blah blah.
There are a load of parameters for tmail.exe by the looks of it. One site that claimed to list them was down/dead.
Save the modified file and copy it back to your device. Now when you hit the 'email' hardware button you'll get the service you mentioned as a default.
You can also stick -attatch on the end i.e:
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "ServiceName" - attatch
But I found that this did nothing with email. Maybe with MMS etc.
If anyone knows any of the other commands for tmail, pls post!?

If, after changing the file in App Buttons it still launches the messaging pointing at the wrong folder, do the following:
Close the messaging app (completely) from settings --> system --> memory --> Running Programs.
Then goto Settings --> Personal --> Buttons, and change button 4 from messaging to some other program. Tap OK, use the messaging button to start that other program, quit said program, go back into Buttons, and change button 4 back to messaging. Try to launch messaging.
It must cache the old info somehow.
Nigel
i believe you'll find the short cuts is set in the registry and doesn't use the program thats selected on the buttons controle pannel item
Nope, it definately uses the stuff in appbuttons! Perhaps these get read and copied to the registry, dunno, but changing the prog in the appbutton shortcut changes what gets launchen when you hit the hardware button.
Nigel
And, if you want to delete the entire crappy outlook/activesync account try removing the appropriate folder (dunno what it's called now, lol) from:
LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc/
edit - Incidentally, the new i-mate ROM always starts the messaging client in the 'last viewed' account anyway.

LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc/

Dont trash the outlook key in here. If you do then you will indeed, loose 'outlook' folder in the inbox app (good!), but as a side effect, sms notify will also stop working (unit will not make noise and display part of message when sms received) (bad!)

19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "Text"
Worked first time for me - takes me straight to my SMS inbox
Cheers!!!!!
Does anybody know a way of creating a shortcut to messages and navigating directly to Text Messages. By default it takes you to the last account you were active in.
Pearler
Do you want to start a new message, or just open the SMS inbox?
V
Start a new message.
Thanks
I've got an app. will post it later, hopefully tonight. Still at work.

This should work if you put the link in something like Pocket Plus.
Unfortunately as WM2003SE upwards you can't specify whether it is SMS or Inbox or MMS etc, so you will need to make sure the correct account is already selected before using the links.
To edit it, open Notepad and drag the file into the window, then change the name in the To section.

Guys, I've posted programs to quick dial and SMS from shortcuts

PS Anton.Valleyman - these work on the same idea, but have a nice message box on no command line!
Thanks Vijay, the cab responds with not a valid ce cab file. I am trying to install in on a XDAIIs with the latest Rom.
Thanks
Pearler
Aye, though if you've got Pocket Plus you can create shortcuts to the .lnk and it does the same thing as your prog, but only with the inbuilt icons.
I've got about 15 of them as a separate tab of P+.

pearler - I'm not sure if anyone else had a problem with the cabs, but I've linked directly the executables as well. You'll need a way to make shortcuts though - gsfinder is my weapon of choice.
Ant: yeah, "transport". Who'd a thunk it? [Programmers' joke :roll:]

Thanks Midget

thank you ,but it's 4.2 mb ,can i install it on sd ?
Hi,
however, a well know problem remain(with wm6 on wizard, S9100 qtek, is the same):
if I make a new mms and leave it in drafts, after is impossible to edit or open it; is only possible move it or delete it.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
now with new cab installed there is mms1 and mms two folders. If i delete mms folder in registry then i am unable to see mms in messaging and cannot send or compose mms. i checked the mms folder in registry which has now same number of files as in the case of mms1.
Any solutions.
Also when one clicks on new mms it does not show the default template pictures.
haven't tried it (I don't have upgraded to wm6 yet) but I would like to thank midget for his hard work and attention toward who is using his own rom. Keek on the good job mate!
Thank you very much Midget
Midget Midget he's our man if he can't fix it no-one can...
Thanx very much!!
thank you man!

Thanks.

I don't know if it's a real solution but, if both account are handled by the same subsystem (I think so), here a patch that works for me:
Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\MMS1\UserCannotCreate = 0
Then go to Messaging and you are now able to delete the account...
Bye
Thanks that did the trick
This doesn't seem to have worked for me.
I have the MMS1 entry now, and when I tap "Setup E-Mail Account" it just takes me to an inbox.
I installed the cab and then shut down the device and then restarted it. Did I do something wrong?
mms/new email account SOLVED.
None of the tweaks listed in this forum works. However I have solved this very near to perfection.
1. I opened registry editor and went to
HKLM/software/microsoft/inbox/svc/mms1
2. I copied all scripts and strings from mms1 folder to mms blank folder identically.
Thats it.
3. In messaging I see only mms listed.
4. You can easily make new email accounts.
5. Even if you click on camera, you will still be able to make new email
account.
6. Inspite of resets all remains as it is and nothing goes wrong.
MAKE SURE YOU SOFT RESET after few seconds.
cheers

There is a sticky dedicated to it
"Search"
I called myself doing a complete search before postin this question, but I will search again.
Thank you
Apparently this has been answered before but I'm sorry I can't find the answer -- I HAVE searched....
I love my Tytn 2 but what has always annoyed me is the number of clicks to get to a new SMS screen:
start -> messaging -> sms/mms -> menu -> new -> sms
I have to make sure i dont accidentally press MMS -- I never use MMS and I dont know anyone who does! Never seems to work between different phone types anyway.
I'd like to hack the registry to get rid of all MMS options if possible.
Also any shortcuts to get straight to the "new SMS" window ?
Thanks
Dave
Actually, your second question has already been answered in your other tread (but nice to see you posting in the right place)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=823570 Just note that there shouldn't be a space between "-" and "body".
After renaming this file from .txt to .lnk just transfer it over to your phone and run it. Or even better, first transfer it to your phone as text file, and then rename it to "New SMS.lnk
Running this shortcut will get you to the new SMS window. For easier access you can bind it to one of the softkeys to this shortcut (you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279544 ) or copy it to "/windows/start menu".
You can also create shortcuts with filled recepient filed this way, and even with filled body. For example, if you often message someone with phone number 1234567, you can use this in the link file:
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "1234567" -body ""
putting something between quotation marks after -body will insert this text into the massage.

Yeah sorry about posting in wrong area..seems to have got someones back up.
Have tried this - followed instructions to the letter... the .lnk file appears as a folder. Clicking on it does nothing (have tried renaming both before and after transferrirng it). I dont have a /windows/start menu folder as far as i can see (cant even see a windows folder via synccenter or explorer) - HTC Tytn 2, WM6.1 on Vodafone UK
Anyways, I think the other suggestion of going via contacts is easier.
I still want to know if poss to remove MMS options by tweaking the registry though. These options seem to have been added to WM6 -- didnt have same options in Wm5. I have been using WM for years so should know my way round by now!
Thanks for your help.
Just go into your setting and choose to go to the sms account and not the account picker.

Hey all,
I'm looking for the same answer. I'm running DCD 3.3.4 and cannot get threaded SMS to work, though Vito Chat works well. Vito will intercept any incoming SMS, but I want to use it with my HTC Home and cannot figure it out.

If when you push the sms button, nothing happend, the problem is that you write wrong the path to sms chat; check if it work with or without te " and if you have sms chat installed in an other directory.
Partially working
Hi. I'm also using Spb Shell 3, and it is starting Vito SMS very well. It's just a matter of making sure that the app path is ok. As a suggestion, what I use to do is in the PC with Windows Explorer I navigate all the way to the executable, and the copy the path from the explorer and paste it on the registry (directly on the phone via MyMobiler, or on the PC using CERegEditor). So, on the main screen, when I press the SMS button it goes directly to SMS-Chat.
What is not working is, when I go to the Contacts panel and press the "Send SMS" button, it goes to the app, but not directly composing a message, so I have to browse and select the contact. Is it possible to start composing directly from the contact panel?
Thanks in advance.

This may or may not work for the Contacts panel, but try modifying the registry key and append open:%s outside of the quotes.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINBOX
1 -> "\Program Files\Vito\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe" open:%s
Seemed to work for me in MS2 Contacts. The unfortunate side-effect of doing this though, is when you select the SMS icon on the Now screen, it goes to the compose window (and addresses it to some unknown string like "Service...").
i changed this registry entry
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINBOX
1 -> "\Program Files\Vito\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"
from the now screen it opens sms-chat(good)
from the contacts it opens sms-chat(good)
from the map messages in spb3 when i select messages it selects sms-chat(good)
from the map messages in spb3 when i select compose new message it selects THE ORIGINAL WM program NOT GOOD.
were is that second entry located in the registry?
it seems 2 entries are used, one for messages and one for compose new message
