I'm sure I'm missing something stupid but I can find the answer. When I open messaging from the start menu it goes to the mms account which I don't use. I want it to go to the outlook account instead. It also does this from the htc home plugin if I click the left most message button. The text message (center button) does exactly what it's supposed to. I'm using the TNT 1437 touch rom. Any help would be great. Thanks
Sorry to bump but I still haven't found a solution to this.
Hi, you can always add text messaging to the front of your screen or even use the shortcut on the front but as for the problem your having, i have the same one, but i just work around it
same issue and I too would really like to change the default setting of that htc home link ....
Thanks to Urthwhyte for answering this for me in another thread. I don't know if you can go directly to an account via a registry change, but to at least get the bloody messaging to go to the chooser from HTC Home (because it should otherwise already go there if you have that option selected in Messaging options) - add another e-mail account. It doesn't have to be a valid one. I added my Gmail account and now the Chooser opens for me every time.

Here is the link to the post he is talking about. I'll try it later. Thanks
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
Try program KeySwop: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-keyswop-v0-2-1.html
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.

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

I've been searching for awhile on this forum, but I still can't find a way to create a shortcut that takes you DIRECTLY to a new text message or new calendar item.
Since I have my calendar on the homescreen, the only reason I actually go into the calendar app is to create stuff - why not just have the shortcut directly to it?
This seems like it would be relatively easy to do, but any ideas on this or something like it would be greatly appreciated Ideally, I'd like to set my 2 homescreen softkeys to those for one-touch access.....
thanks in advance

you can use the attached file for sms sending. it's a standart eten's utility. place it anywhere and make a shortcut to it)
I'm using dZenkinZ icon set and whilst I'm happy to use a graphics program to fiddle with an existing icon to make a new one for apps not covered by the existing set (eg Railway Live Departure Boards) I'm wondering if I can apply custom icons to Bookmarks and Contacts on my Home screen.
I've searched the forums, but couldn't see any clues...
Thanks
Anyone? Even just saying "no, it can't be done" would be a help!
bump on this as id like to know also.
E.G - i want to use the custom facebook icon from Dinik's set on my own bookmark of touch.facebook.com instead of just a screenshot of the link. (or any link i have)
I don't know for sure, but I thought it could only be done by cooking it into the rom.
If you want to know for sure wait for a dev or cooker to answer this, or post the question into the rom thread of the one you're using.
yes you can,
in registry HKLM\software\htc\manila\home\shortcut number\iconpath:whatever
delete folder 'proglauncher' from \application data\htc
restart manila
Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.
