I did a re-install of rom and now do mms is not listed in the messages folder - only outlook email and text messages. Any idea how I can get this back? Reading through other forums and posts would seem to be a missing cab file issue but can't locate what might be missing. Its not a settings issue and I have reset these. Can anyone help me?
had the same prob myself, i take it u hard reset before all the o2 software loaded so u got a clean boot? if so download total commander ( link can be found someware in the best freeware thread, its been stickyed) and search for /extended rom/ then look in there for a file with mms on it click to install and bingo. soffy if these instuctions are a litle vauge, beter ones are here in the forum if you search for them.
thanks, but I'm new to Total Commander - how to I get it to find extended Rom?
just type it in to the search box at the top, have to use the tap keyboard in portrait mode tho, if i remember right total comanders doenr support lanscape mode. saying that tho maybe u got a newer verstion than i did.
type in "\Extended_ROM" on the top of Total Commander

only thing now is I have no mms account I can switch to on my list anymore. the mms configeration menu is still there though. can anyone lean me some advice )
Just load the cab from the Extended ROM which has MMS in its name.
sorry to be dim I've searched but can seem to find it, could you give me a path location to follow please ) Cheers
On the wiki for Wizard http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
there are instructions on how to unhide your Extended ROM.
Do this, then you will have a \Extended Rom directory. There should be a cab file in there O2???????MMS??????.cab just click on this to run it
the link for it on that site doesnt work mate
...ok.
I just got a TyTN. On my HTC Universal, there was a MMS console or something...forget what they call it...
But it was flawless and there isn't one on the TyTN from what I can see...
Can someone help me out? It MIGHT be my general non-familiarity of the device so I don't see it...but I don't see any programs or settings that even come close to referencing it...
Thanks...
If I understand the questions correctly
From messaging.
Menu
Tools
Options
Select MMS
You have to install the Shortcut-MMS.cab from ExtendedROM.
I for one, didn't install it, cause the whole messanging application (SMS and E-Mail) starts much faster without MMS installed.
At the moment I'm searching for a proper replacement for MMS that's not that lazy.
Missing MMS Menu on HTC TyTn
Hi,
I have the same problem on my HTC TyTn. In fact, MMS menu is missing. I've read the answer but I don't know where I could find shortcut-mms.cab.
Could you help me, please.
Jee
unhide the extendedrom as described in the extrom unlocker thread. then you should find a file *shortcut*mms*.cab in the dir /ExtendedROM
Hi,
Thanx for answering. I've tried what it explained, but nothing happen. My phone coming from SFR (vodaphone). Maybe there is something else to do.
Regards
ROM Version 1.23.163.3
ROM Date: 06/18/06
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocole: 32.53.7018.01W
Me, too, and I think I've got it figured out..
I have most of this problem solved but need one additional piece of info (at bottom); maybe someone can fill that in for me.
I got a new 8525 from Cingular.com the day they came out. The letter 'A' stuck so I had to exchange it for a new one. The first 8525 I had showed the MMS directory just fine but the second one they gave me did not. I'm not aware of any differences in the way I set them up or how this could be, but MMS has been missing from my second 8525 since I first fired it up. Cingular support was no help.
Here's what you need to do to fix it:
(1) You need to unhide the Extended ROM. Info on doing that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283750
Note that in my situation my phone was already SIM unlocked, and I found that I did not have to CID unlock my device in order to fix this problem. Information on what the difference is between SIM unlock and CID unlock can be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock
(2) Now, when you open File Explorer, you'll see a new folder listed called "Extended ROM." Open that folder and you'll see a list of .cab files that can install various things for you.
Run the MMS installation .cab file called "MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes" to install the MMS function that somehow got missed in the initial setup. I found that I was not able to install this program to Extended ROM, and I did not try to install it to the storage card, but it installed in my Device memory just fine.
Open up Messaging, and you should now see the MMS folder, unless you soft reset, in which case you have to re-install. In my case, no configuration of the MMS function was needed, and MMS works just fine.
QUESTION: Whenever I soft reset my phone, I lose the MMS function again and have to re-install from the .cab. How do I make MMS a permanent feature of my phone?
I hope this helps folks get at least as far as I've managed and maybe someone else can help finish answering this problem. Thanks in advance.
OK...
Let's say a stupid asshole erased his ext-ROM and is now missing the whole Shortcut-MMS.cab .
Is it possible to flash back only the ext-ROM ?
Can someone send the .cab to the asshole (meaning ME!) ??
Thanks

anyone know where I can get this file cheers
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the one you mean... it worked for me.. Sorry if it won't.. but try it anyway.. goodluck!
I think thats the one but without sounding stupid how do you install the files. even when unziped no setup file there
its a cab file. not a zip file. just run it on the phone
Once I've installed the cab file, what do I do to have the phone pad show when composing a text?
Thanks
Darrone
it makes it difficult to answer questions without any detail. In theory you just need to choose the phonepad option in the list of available input methods.
If however you are using an orange rom or there might be some others that have a problem with phonepad. Then you need to go into settings, into system, into G4 SIP Hide, Into Sip settings and set Phone Pad to be the default. Then give it a quick soft reset to be sure and now when you select phonepad from the list it should work.
ps. I must have answered this question about 10 times now and i even had a whole thread about this where me and another guy posted all the info and all the files in it.
This was a while ago though so i will let you off. Still a few mins on the search and i am sure it must come up. Then again the search does weird things sometimes. Let me know if any probs.
Hi,
Could you tell me how to install the .cab file on my M700 once i've downloaded it to my PC. I can't seem to figure it out
Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!
can't find this, can you send the link?
this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!
here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!
oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!
it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone
Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!
works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.
Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?
Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks
It does not work for me!

Please help me. I am a new user having Dual 2nd day. I was trying to install it but it does not work. Can you describe step by step for the beginner what to do? XT9 is realy anoying esp for NON english users.
Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers

I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.
Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also
Finally there's something to kill XT9
Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

Thanx Man, I´ve searched this simple thing so long time...

I recently purchased an HD touch which was originally on the UK Orange Network. I then unlocked this and placed my UK O2 sim into the phone. THis already had Duttys Xtreme V2.1 installed. All Appears to be running okay but when I receive MMS msgs they are postage size images. Possibly because this is not an O2 phone or one which they sell on their network then this could be the problem.
I am not sure if this has been raised previously and I tried searching on XDA but could not find anything obvious. But there must be other UK O2 users out there that have resolved this same issue?
Senior member Senab kindly pointed me to a link on www.4mobile.com which may address this failing.
Does anyone know if there is a cab which makes the relevant registry changes to allow a quick and easy method of overlaying the necessary registry entries after a re-flash of a different rom?
This would ensure that anytime a different rom is applied then I'd automatically need to execute the MMS cab to allow normal sized images to be received. Any help, advice or information would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance JD76..
stumbled across this thread on XDA which may help (Post 14 explains it best)

Post 19 give info about HTC messaging reg settings which are different to acksoft
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP]
then use a Registry editor program to export the Key then you can import it again , for next rom if its needed
I use this program for reg editing 'FdcSoft TaskMgr wm2005_3.1' which also a task manager
Thanks Eyebees but link does not work can you repost link if possible? cheers...

what ROM on your HD is it a Manila 2.5 with HTC messaging or Manila 2.1
just for ref here are my reg entrys for manila2.5 with HT messaging seem ok on Orange UK

Hmm - I have those exact settings installed in my Xanny ROM 1.7 - and I only get the small images. It's operator specific so I think we need to find a useragent that O2 has configured to supply full size images to....
Is anyone getting full size messages in Sense 2.5 on O2 - if so can you post the Jataayu entries?
looks like your not the only one with mms issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5255915&postcount=5075
have you asked in your rom thread about mms
I agree I think it may be Operator specific...anyone else out there on O2 UK with this problem. We have over 2 million members here must be others.....thanks JD
Right - I've had a trawl around and will crunch through these settings. If others can try that would be handy:
1) Pretend it's a diamond/N95 hybrid....
HKLM/Software/Jataayu/MMS/SP/UAProfile
changed to: http://www.htcmms.com.tw/claro/diamond-1.0.xml
HKLM/Software/Jataayu/MMS/SP/UserAgent
changed to: NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
2) N95
UserAgent = "NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"
UAProfile = http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
3) HD2
UAProfile=http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_HD2_T8585-1.0.xml
UserAgent=HTC_HD2_T8585
Plan is 1) Change setting 2) Reboot Phone 3) Ask Wife to send MMS
Tried 3 first as I reckoned it was more likely to work, and it did. Previous message was 4k, changed reg, rebooted and resent the message and it was delivered to me at 82k - which is a distinct improvement.
exported .reg attached (rename to .reg) - a click in total commander should install it, also pop in the sashimi reg folder for the next flash.
Can't work out how to make a cab.
Thank you jontelfer really appreciated. Is it just a matter of downloading and renaming and running. I don't have total commander will regedit do the same? can you clarify what you meant by the following: 'also pop in the sashimi reg folder for the next flash' ??? thanks again jd..
I can't remember if the standard filemanager will let you run the .reg file unfortunately. If you've got regedit open you might as well change the entries yourself.
The Sashimi comment refers to a package that will automate the reinstall of all your favourite cabs once you've flashed a new rom. Pretty usefull if you're into that kind of thing.
Jon was trying the O2 MMS setting you attached as a text file. But I don't have a Jataayu sub folder is it possible that is only on a specific rom? can you provide any advice?
I'm on O2 (UK). Had this same problem a while back with a new flash. My settings are as follows (WM6.5, M2.1)....
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
"UserAgent"="NokiaN95/11.0.026"
"x-wap-profile"="http://www.arcsoft.com/mobile/UAProf/Arcsoft-MMSUA-PPC-v50.xml"
Try reading through this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549238) there's also a self-installing CAB there if you are uneasy about reg-editing.
Good luck!
Thanks
