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.

Do you want to start a new message, or just open the SMS inbox?

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

Tell me how it goes!

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

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+.

Ahh "-transport"....what a wonderfully logical name for it...
Bloody programmers, some give the rest of us a bad name!

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:]

I am using the MostBeautiful ROM.
One function of previous ROMS I miss is the following:
In the past I just had to enter the first letters of a contact in the recipients-field of new mails, mms or text messages. A pull-down menu appeared and I just had to select the desired contact. The function pasted the mail adress/mobile number by itself.
Now, I have to search in the contacts by clicking on "To" or to enter the adress/number by myself.
Does anyone know, how to add the missed function?
have you figured this out?
my new XDA ZINC has the same problem... i cant seem to auto-complete the email addresses and sms numbers. this used to be a feature i had on an older xda phone.
please let me know if you found a solution.
thanks.
That feature works in the newer WM6 roms. I know it works in mine (Crossbow Reloaded) and I seem to recall it worked in Xplore 1.1, Faria Vanilla, and NTS. I do remember it didn't work when I had MBE.
It works on my BE rom... only weird thing is that it shows both the Phone's Contacts and the SIM contacts even though I have the SIM contacts hidden... so I have doubles every time.
any thoughts on how i can get it working on my xda zinc?
thanks.
Me too!
i have the sme problem, running Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.
I am missing the auto-complete in the "To:" field of the SMS application.
Does anyone know how to enable it?

I found that i had this problem after changing a certain registry key.
Try making the following reg entries
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/keyboard layout/Preload/default="e0010409"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/keyboard layout/Preload/1/default="e0010409"
Then wait for 60seconds to make sure the reg is saved, then soft reset your WIzard. Worked for me.
They are already there ... !
Not working here too.
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...

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 ""

You would need a different version of the SMS/MMS Arcsoft client.

As stated, you'd have to install a different version of the arcsoft software that does this. Microsoft (Arcsoft???) has decided that combined is better and all the newer versions have went this way (personally I like it combined myself, but it does catch me off guard when I get what I think is an SMS with no text then notice the tiny pic icon and realize its really an MMS). Just like the standard with WM6.1 is the threaded messaging (my opinion on that is still out. In some ways I like it, but other ways I hate it. So still trying to get used to it and not just turn it off (yet)).
Basically like back on WM5 where the left soft key in Arcsoft was to create a new message. Then WM6 changed that to be Delete and people screamed. But its still that way today and now most are used to it (or don't know any different).
Ive researched this topic quite a bit and have found that it cant be done unless the version of arcsoft mms is cooked into the rom. If it isnt, even after installing the older version over a new one, the combined messaging AND threading will still be in affect, it might also throw off your text and mms messaging entirely.
I may be wrong, but this is what Ive read in other threads and forums. If it can be done, Id love to know, because shortcuts to new mms wont work without this. and more importantly for, sms chat will stop intercepting my mms mesages

You are spot on! If you like it splitted up then you need a rom that does this for you, if I can make a small suggestion, give my rom a try (SMS & MMS are split up!) it's called DCSv1.7
the problem is PIM backup doesnt restore your MMS if you used a rom before with different sms and mms folders so now i dont have none of my MMS backed up on the tilt... sad
Separate!

MMS problems
I downloaded a sms threaded text cab for my att tilt- my problem is that i can't send or receive MMS messages anymore. i've been looking for days to find a way around this because i love the threaded text, but i NEED my MMS capabilities. can you point me in the right direction or do i just need to abandon my threaded txt and revert back to the original to get my MMS back?

You need to run connection wizard, or your connection settings cab again after installing the mms cab.
Dear All,
I searched for this, but couldn't find any reference to this particular issue. I tried all the latest 6.1 ROMs and it looks like a WM thing.
All ROMs, have this new "FEATURE" which let's you view the SMS as a thread of messages instead of one at a time.
This is great, the only drawback is, that I can no longer move threads or indvidual SMSs to different folders; even the option to manage folders is dimmed (also the move option).
The only work-around that I have found, is to delete the message, go to the trash, and move it from there. However, there is still no way to create a new folder.
Any Ideas/Suggestions/Solutions for this issue ?
I too miss the split SMS/MMS. I wonder if it is possible for our favorite chef to put ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 in his latest ROM and have it work properly?
This would make it possible to run Vito SMS-Chat and receive MMS properly. If Dutty's latest did run so damn good I would revert back for this reason alone.
I remember communicating with a very talented individual named Shogunmark. I'm SURE that this individual could separate the SMS and MMS. I don't think it was via XDA though. Seems I met him through another site.
Check out this thread. Simple registry hack to disable threaded SMS in WM 6.1.
I've done a quick search that didn't really turn up any results, so I wonder if this is even possible. Is there a cab file available that will replace the regular sms with the wm6.1 sms on a wm6 device?

In order to run Threaded SMS on WM6, you need to install a 3rd party program such as PalmSMS.
