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.

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my wizard to WM6 (NBD v7.8), and so far I'm loving it. There's just one thing bothering me. When I add a contact without a photo to the fancy quick dial thingie in HTC Home/TouchFLO it displays only the contact's first name - not a good idea, especially since I want to have 3 people with the same name on that list. Is there a way to make those apps display something different? The "Nickname" field would be perfect, but I'll settle for the full name or something similar
go to the contact you want to change, then edit it, then go to File as and enter whatever you want, from now on in your contacts it will show up as whatever you put in
I think you misunderstood, I don't want to change the way the contact is displayed in "Contacts", I want to change the way it's displayed in the "HTC Home" today plugin and the "TouchFLO" app, and the File As field has no effect on that.
Anyone else feel that it is annoying that when you are in landscape mode, and you press the messaging button, it defaults to start a new text message? I would rather have it go to the list of all the messages that I have received??
Is there a registry edit, or something that I am missing with this?
Thanks
Mine opens up the text message list.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm pretty sure thats exclusive to what skin you are using for TF3D. If you install TF3D config and install another skin like the stock HTC one, you should get the messages window instead of the create new message window every time you click the messaging button.
Can someone recommend a skin for me? All I am looking for is to have the flipping clock.

I have the exact opposite problem. I've lost the ability function of creating new tasks/messages/etc from the landscape action screen.
no idea how I did it. I'm using the AT&T stock Rom without the bloat and have tweaked a few things with Diamond TF3D config, advance config, and Diamond Tweak. I have not changed any themes with TF3D config though.
Any suggestions on how to restore the ability to start new items from the landscape action screen again?
has there been a way to change these yet?
such as contacts id like to have it launch icontact and the notes one to launch evernote
Yes, when I've tried different TouchFlo themes, some have changed, for example, the email button so that it opens a new email instead of opening the inbox.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it yet, however my guess is that you need to search the forums about making changes to the 'manila' files that reside in your Windows directory.
In the short term, I can however tell you how to change the two landscape soft keys (I have one set to open a new SMS to my girlfriend - barf - and the other toggles wifi on and off.....

i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective

Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks

That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..
Is it possible to make the alphabetical index, in the contacts window, bigger?
Each box of 3 letters is so tiny, I can never select the correct box.
Is there a setting in Advanced config or a registry setting to fix this?
I am using a stock HTC rom.

Try this out. It's much more convenient and works with the stock contacts application. It's called Random Access and it puts a larger alphabetical index down the right side of the contacts. It's great.

Dwizzy,
Thanks for the quick reply. This program looks ok but I was really looking for a way to increase the alpha listing size. The contacts program itself is fine and I hate to load new programs to fix minor issues in programs already working.
Anyone know the reg hack to fix this?
