Help me to configure Long_AP2

Ok, so I just realized that it's very troublesome to compose a new SMS, have to go to the inbox, press right soft key, press left joystick, press down joystick to select SMS and then start composing
So I got an idea to configure the Messaging button on Tornado Noble to point to the compose SMS straight away. I did some google, and found the attribute to the tmail.exe application.
So I tried to create a shortcut named Long_AP2.lnk, in it contain this line
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I saved it and transferred it to my phone, but it don't seem to work, feeling that my attribute might be wrong, I saved it as Short_AP2 and put into my phone, it works and by pressing the SMS button, it opens SMS composer straight away.
So the question is, why can't I get it to work on Long_AP2? Or the file name is supposed to be something else?
I also want to ask, what i that number 19 at the beginning of the line, hardware keys?

I think that the LONG_AP1.lnk activates when you hold the button for a few seconds.

Lol, I know that for sure,
I want to make long hold to activate compose sms, but short press to inbox

Anyone can help me? This is for our own good

keybddr.dll didn't support Long_AP2.

These aren't attributes. Attributes are what tell us whether or not file is hidden, read only etc...
These are parameters or switches.
I don't understand why you need to use a parameter to make tmail.exe open with a blank text message. Unless mine is broken, that's what it does by default. (In fact, I think mine is screwed up... wtf?)
Have you considered using mortscript?
andot:
If keybddr.dll doesn't support long_ap how is the media player supposed to use this for FFW in music/video?
I think it's supposed to support it.

I mixed up, it should be arguments
At default, it opens the inbox, not the blank text message

Long_AP2
With "AE Button Plus" you can map simple, double, triple and long click to one key.
This is a very usefull utility !
you need to modify the registry keys to use AEB Plus with the multimedia keys.

Hmm, I don't like to install additional cab to do simple stuff, perhaps find out what registry changes it does, and incorporate into a cab which installs the button, ill chk it out later

I fixed it. Don't know how it broke, but it works as you describe.
Is there no way to make a text version of a mailto: shortcut?

Good that you fixed it, but hope we can have 2 purpose with a button
short hold for inbox, long hold for sms
as you know, with Wm6, composing sms is even more troublesome compared to wm5

Text Message alert soft buttons

Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks

intresting question got the same problem

I would like this too!

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.

Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.

If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.

gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!

can i assign a key for direct access to message txt edtior?

Hi friends
i noticed, each time if i want to send a message, i've to go to message-> selecting the account->and then new.
And what abt recently used numbers.. Each time have to select from contacts
I love this phone.. but why this phone lacks these basic stuffs

You can also start typing the number or the name (i.e 5->6->4->6 for John) on the home screen and switch left or right to SMS (txt) and then press the click on it, it will open the messaging app and you can start texting that person! Just a little tip
Otherwise look for AEButton which can assign a function to every hardware key!
Also, when you are in the messaging app and the "to" field is highlighted, just start typing the name, just like I told you above and a popup will open with all the possible names!

hit menu and reply

ya, that's what I'm doing. but am looking at something like the new message button function. haha.

I do not know why it is needed when I can just hit the message and reply from there?
IMHO, a forward button would be more useful.

shortcut..... press once and you will get it.. haha.. anyways, might be best if there is a few button right from the tab itself!!

OR just do this...
The following registry tweak adds a graphic send button above the paperclip button. It also changes the 'send' left soft key to a 'back' soft key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\LSK_Send_Msg
Change from 1 to 0.
OR
Just install this

nonono.. i have this already. What im trying to say is, in HTC Sence SMS Tab. There is currently a 'new message' button at top right. So I am wondering if there is anything to add a new button say 'Reply' or 'Forward' next to the current 'new message' button.. Cuz now we need to click menu, then reply or forward but we can just click new message fromt hat homescreen tab... know what I mean? ahaha...

[Q] SMS drafts?

Anyway how you can save draft SMS? Its driving me nuts lol

Not to my knowledge. And to be honest I'm glad there's none. Sometimes when you're in the middle of writing a text and that person calls, or work calls, or something comes up, etc. It's nice that you don't have it building up in the draft folder, which you have to take the time to go and clear out.
It's honestly like they did a ton of research on what would make a mobile experience realllly great.

The way you can use "drafts" is by hitting the back button until you get back to your message you were writing, then your text that you entered will still be there.
So for example: 1) Writing a text, 2) hit Windows key, 3) check email, 4) hit back key twice, 5) continue your text message.

your example works of course, but it's not so good on android i sometimes used drafts to make quick notes and i could get back to them quickly. now the only way to get back to the message is to hit the back key god knows how many times, because when i do this:
write a text > hit windows key > do other things > hit messaging tile > the message is gone
but it won't bother me anymore, i'm going to download a nice notes application soon
anyways, my mozart is by faaaaaaaaar the best phone i ever had even with those missing features, but we're going to get them sooner or later

This is will have to do, many thanks...
i guess like the previous poster said using a note application is one way, the only bad thing about that is copying the text is impossible into an SMS ....
I just wished there was more to messaging, each to its own

You don't have to. Open Office and go to "OneNote". It's an amazing note-taker, and you can pin the individual notes to your start screen.
