Quickest way to sms - Touch Cruise General

Is there some way to have a shortcut for a new sms. I find it tedious to have to go to messaging, sms/mms, menu, new, sms! Used to be much faster before they lumped everything together.

go to the contact and tabhold and pick sms or text message or whatever they call it
and you got a new sms with the contact as add
for your sms'ing pleasure

Install HTC Action Screen. It provides you with a screen with all "New ..." items (new sms, new mms, new contact, ... )

How do I get that? I've got the orbit 2 so guessing this comes only with the cruise?

I use a shortcut with the following target...
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""-body""
As a better post I'd upload it... but I can't find the upload button.
HTH Nev

Thanks, already installed the htc action screen, works perfectly

Hello,
By the way i map the right softkey (contacts) from the HTC today in the bottom Right of the screen to the Action Screen by:
using a reg editor, create a key called "113" (if not there already) under:
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
with the following values type REG_SZ
Default = Action Screen
Open = \windows\HTCActionScreen.exe
No soft reset is need, once you close your reg. editor it will show up.
quite handy i think....
cheers

Touchflo Mail and Contact buttons

As much as I like TouchFlo, there are two annoying issues I can't find workarounds for. The first is regarding contacts tab. I have a ton of contacts and as much as I like the favorites layout its a pain to get to my whole list of contacts through the interface. I think it might be better to just have a click of the contacts tab open up the whole phonebook. Any idea how to pull that one off?
The other issue is mail. I like the layout of the TouchFlo interface, but I hate the fact that when I click the opened envelope icon it just opens up that individual email. Its convenient if you only have one new message, but I get a lot of emails and its a pain to have to click the Inbox button in the button left corner. Any idea how to make a click of the opened envelope toggle the entire Inbox?
Am I just being lazy about this or does anyone else find these issues annoying? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Need to Call Some Links/Programmes..Can you Help?

I am putting together a theme for WAD2 in WVGA but have a need to call the following:
1. The SMS page when the SMS counter is pressed. All I can find is the Messaging.lnk
2. The email page when the email counter is pressed. Again, all I can find is the Messaging.lnk
3. Is there a tool which can be linked which directly calls the backlight just like the SPB Mobile Shell backlight?
4. The sounds page on TF3D 15-tab is very useful, is there a way of calling something similar from outside TF3D?
Thanks
ThreadMoved
Apologies. I will repost the thread elsewhere. Feel free to delete it.
I am a Mod of 2 diving forums so I know how frustrating it can be to have posts in the wrong place.
Regards
It's alright man we moved it.. now you'll get whatever answers you need in here.
try this:
For inbox, try using:
tmail.exe -service "SMS"
It should open your inbox. At least it works for me.
To directly open the new sms window type:
tmail.exe -to "<number>" -body "hello" -service "SMS"
You can remove the parameters you don't need.
For email, replace "SMS" to "ActiveSync"
3. I have no idea what you just said
4. you can't really CALL something which isn't on TF3D... unfortunately. what exactly do you want to implement?

Thanks. All worked a treat. The backlight tool I was talking about is icon which calls up series of 5 boxes to control the backlight in the current power setting. This means rather than trying to use a slider, you can click one of 5 icons to get 20% gradation.
What I would like is an easy way of adjusting the sound profiles. I have found one within WAD but the box doesn't seem to scale to WVGA very well and this means some scrolling is required. What I am looking for is a nice easy finger friendly sound profile inut method.

ALWAYS request SMS receipt report from TouchFLO SMS interface

Hi,
There is a WinMo setting to always request SMS receipts when using the WinMo interface to send SMS. When you are using the nicer Topaz SMS view one has to always manually re-select this. This is annoying. Is there some kind of Manila registry setting?
I think there is two seperate settings for this.
start messaging app (programs - all programs - Message app, i got swedish D2) then select menu then options. Select sms/mms and tick box for message recipt.
The other setting im not certain about, for the touchflo, but it should be somewhere.. Write back if this doesn't help.
ah, hang on a minute. I just tested this and I also need to manualy check the box for recipt. Annoying, bah.. Why have two individual settings for this?
HD tweak has no setting for this..
I'm also looking for this answer....

Yes, you can set up it in registry
[\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs]
Create a Dword key name “SMSDeliveryNotify” and set the value to 0x000001, if the key is already there, just change the value.
Save it to the registry and soft reset the device, and you are all done, now the “request message delivery notification” option is always ticked except when forwarding messages.
Or use Advanced Config

Tried to use it and it only changes the winmo default messaging app (this setting can allready be changed in options/settings for messaging), but still dont affect the manila SMS app.
You can try this yourself, press on favorite contacts - all people - select a person and then select the 2nd box on the left (sms icon) and type a message. Here you wont get a delivery notification unless you select menu - message option - request delivery notification.

htcactionscreen

htcactionscreen.exe worked very well on my TyTn II. You assign it to a button and it brings up a screen to select new note, new appointment, new email, new sms, new task, new contact... The screen went way after a few seconds if you don't make a selection.
Has anyone got it running on the HD2? Also is there an app where you can assign shaking the HD2 to replace a button function on the HD2? Combining shaking with bringing up the htcactionscreen.exe would be a great wheeze.

Sprint's 6.5 forces you to use "HTC messaging" over "WM messaging". Is there a fix?

Sprint's 6.5 forces you to use "HTC messaging" over "WM messaging". Is there a fix?
The new Sprint OEM 6.5 ROM forces you to use the "HTC messaging" text messages now when responding to a incoming text or when you hit "SEND MESSAGE" from within a address book contact.
I absolutely hate the "HTC messaging" style of text messages for 4 reasons:
#1 You cannot use "My Text" to insert pre-written text messages
#2 The soft button shows "BACK" where it shows "SEND" on the "WM messaging" style
#3 You cannot add names to the "TO FIELD"
#4 The "HTC messaging" never saves to draft or allows cut and paste.
(This is a MAJOR pain in the ass when everything you typed gets deleted when you hit the soft button "BACK" because your conditioned to hit the same soft button for "SEND" in the "WM messaging" style.
How can I make the "WM messaging" style text message format the default style or even the only style of texts with the new stock Sprint 6.5 ROM ?????
Thank you.
I still have the Windows SMS/MMS manager after upgrading to 6.5.
Select the "SMS tab", then click "All Messages." This should take you to the Windows SMS/MMS manager.
Posted on Behalf of tt c6
The below is what I mean by "WM messaging" where you will see "SEND" and "MENU" at the bottom underneath the threaded texts.
The "MENU" below will allow you to insert "MY TEXTS".
Also, when composing new text messages in "WM Messaging" you can add multiple recipients by just typing out their names and all unsaved texts are automatically saved in "DRAFTS".
WM Messaging is MUCH BETTER than HTC Messaging.

well you can try to redirect the text messaging tab to the WM messenger (which is possible ,since there is a hack on redirecting the alarm button to your third party alarm).
or get used to the HTC messaging as I did when I first tried manila.
or disable HTC manila/sense altogether, which I just did when updating to 6.5.
Can someone be kind enough to spell out exactly what I have to do (in BABY STEPS) so that MS messaging is my default messaging screen. I want to avoid HTC messaging at all cost.
I say "baby steps" because I'm a complete "newb".
Thank you.
I disabled the Messages tab in the Home Screen Tabs. Then I added a Quick Link to Text on the Home Screen. Now all my texts are in WM messaging.

Thanks. I did the same thing as well.
But, with that method, you have to manually enter the name of the recipient.
I would like to be able to use the "Favorites" from the bottom of the home screen to quickly access a recipient name.
BUT, I want to be put into the "Windows Messaging Screen" when I choose "send message" in the contact card instead of being placed into the "HTC Messaging Screen".
Also, I would like to be automatically placed in the the Windows Messaging Screen when replying to a incoming text message as well. Currently, the software forces you to use HTC Messaging to return texts.
Can anyone help to make MS Messaging the default messaging screen instead of it being the HTC Messaging Screen?
Thank You.
why don't you just hit all messages on the bottom left of screen? that will open Wm messaging

Thank you. That's what I'm doing now.
But, whenever you hit"send message" from a "favorites", "contact card", or reply to an incoming text, the new ROM forces you to use HTC Messaging.
Also, the favorites is a MUCH faster way to add a recipient to a text message then having to type out the persons name. If you use "Favorites" you can add a recipient with a simply click, and then if you are brought to WM messaging instead of HTC messaging, you can use "My Text" to insert a pre-written message.
Having the ability to compose a new text with a few quick clicks should be NECESSARY for everyone.
HTC messaging is SLUGGISH and GIMPED. I want to automatically go into "WM messaging" so I can insert "My Texts" and multiple recipients.
or try this cab

I installed that CAB. Unfortunately, I'm still being placed into "HTC Messaging".
I am running the official SPrint 6.5 ROM released last week.

True. Thanks.
But, then you have to scroll or type out the name of the recipient. Unfortunately, I have a TON of contacts and that's not convenient.
I would like to be able to select a contact from "my favorites" in Sense 2.5, then hit "send message" in their card, and then be automatically placed into WM Messaging.
This way, when combined with the "My Texts" feature in WM Messaging, I can create and send a text with just around 6 taps of the screen.
This is the way is worked in the original ROM and I would like to find a way to modify Sense 2.5 to do the same thing.
Can anyone help us to make MW Messaging the default messaging screen so we can avoid HTC Messaging all together?
Thank you.

I was also interested in that cab and wondered exactly what it does. I think you should read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
as that is the original thread for that cab. there were some steps prior to installing the cab. I have no idea if it'll work for Sense, since it was made for Manila 2.5, but I don't see why it won't work since Sense and Manila are pretty much the same (sense is listed as manila in the registry).
also there is mention of it messing with the text notification or mms.
I would suggest just putting a quick link to "text messaging" app and removing the htc text messaging tab. that way you can go straight to your WM messaging (which I like a lot better as I can see all my new text messages when I get more than one instead of scrolling through the damn htc single message viewer).
Thanks for responding.
I am doing the above now, BUT, it forces you to type out the name of the recipient to add it to the "TO" field.
I LOVE the functionality of the "favorites" screen in Sense 2.5, I just HATE HTC Messaging. I would like to be able to use "Favortites", but just be placed into MW messaging and avoid HTC Messanger all together.
Can anyone help us find a way to make WM messaging the default text screen, while completely avoiding HTC messaging, while keeping Sense 2.5 ???
Thank you.
Why not just hit all messages down in the left, and use WM messaging?

That's what I'm doing now. But, I have to type out the name of the recipient.
I would MUCH rather use the "favorites" screen in Sense 2.5, BUT use WM Messaging only.
Furthermore, the stock Sprint 6.5 OEM FORCES you to use HTC messaging when sending a text from all "contact cards" or when respondig to incoming texts.
With my 6.1, I could use "my favorites" and "my texts" to send a complete text message with only a few taps on my screen. No scrolling. No typing.
This is not progress.

For me, I set "Text" as a tile, and when I click that, it takes me to the WM version automatically.. I actually prefer the HTC and I'm trying to figure out if there is a tile/icon I can use inplace of the "text" one to automatically bring up the HTC style text window. I don' twanna keep navigating the bottom TF bar just to get to it.

How about becuase I don't send to multiple recipients, and not lazy enough to use pre-written messages... and because it's not sluggish for me. so idk what you're talking about in that respect.

How can you not see how much lag there is with HTC Messaneger when compared to MW Messenger? It's obvious to me, and it's been obvious to the people that have posted about it as well on various forums.
Looking for the most efficient way to communicate with multiple people is not lazy. Sorry you feel that way.
