WM6 (n00b?) question: file-format/alert-program associations - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for all the help you've provided me with, I've been searching all over this forum and have found more useful stuff than any "official" resource. Forums kick ass.
now onto my, quite possibly n00bish, question...
How would I go about changing the file-format <--> program-associations in WM6(ATT tilt)?
and also, this might be beating a dead horse, but I'm one of the many individuals still whining and crying about that memory error with cody's threaded SMS program, and couldn't find any posts mentioning a way to get the standard (oem) messaging program to open from any MMS alerts, while still having cody's app to handle the sms alerts...
or are sms alerts and mms alerts too similar to have WM6 open two different programs?
thanks again

MMS Notifications - Stopping

:lol:
Alright,
I've looked thru various forums and posts only to find this one the most informative and thorough. After processing some registry edits on my HTC Wizard/Cingular 8125, I'm looking for the edit to stop the 'message sent' notification/bubble that pops up. So many post about stopping the SMS one which I did edit successfully but none on the MMS. Not sure if it would be found in the /Software/Microsoft or /Arcsoft folders. I guess not too many ppl are sending MMS b/c this doesn't seem to be a large topic on any sites.
Thank to anyone who can provide the registry edit. (Not looking for any programs that perform these functions for me).

devloper and hacker app of the year.. chat style sms... from the treo 750v

This app will be for all wm devices.
This is an ongoing project that is in need of some of you guys expertise. The rom of the treo 750v has been dumped and is in need of hacker and developers. The treo 750v has features that NO OTHER wm device does. Like the threaded sms messaging, which is sms in a chat style form.
http://www.palm.com/sg/products/smar...messaging.html is a little more about how it works and what it does.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279758 is a thread in the xda-treo forum, but I feel need to be here due to the fact that it will be for all wm devices and is in need of developers and hackers.
Attached is the rom dump.
Thanks, Cody
in many countries you pay pr. sms much more then you'd pay to send text over grps so for most ppl msn, skype or other IM clients would do the same thing only much cheaper
I am really not sure what the hype is about. Haven't used SMS in a long time a with 100MB data package, I have to agree with Rudegar even the built in MSN messenger is better.
Any way I thought you should know that what you posted is not a ROM dump and cannot be used to extract the app.
Interesting you say that. If you have kids sms messaging is almost a requirement. It is extremely popular with the younger generation. I find myself using it more and more. I have friends that send over 3k sms messages in a month. A threaded sms app sure makes it a much better experience.
The rom dump thread was moved by someone over to the treo section for those wondering where it went. The dump is on the ftp server.

I played with the rom dump yesterday. The messaging app does load, just seems to be missing some resources and/or registry entries that I'm not prepared to import right now (test machines all being used already).
It also appears to be fixed at 240x240, although that can probably be fixed later.
The rest of the rom - doesn't contain many intersting .exes, but I know hannip is interested in a number of the other devices and drivers installed. They don't appear to be device specific (c.f. many eten files are).
In the UK, data contracts are very expensive, and you get loads of SMS bundled in your contracts, so SMS makes sense. I don't IM from my phones. But both have their uses.
But I still can't see the fascination with threaded SMS. It'd be quite straight forward to program even if the treo app can't be sucked out.

PS Whoever dumped the roms to begin with, many thanks!
However, we may need to get an overview of the databases on the device as well, in case there are any custom databases. The speed dial plugin that has thus far been elusive relies on a call db. Either a device backup (using sprite etc) or a database dump would be useful to check. Just a guess, might lead to nothing.
Thanks vijay for all of your assistance! Good to hear that the sms app loads. I've been trying to get the a2dp dll's to work on my treo 700wx and 700w devices just to get my feet wet. Having some issues getting the dll's to load, but with your help I might figure this out yet.
The excitement for the 750 sms app over the other threaded sms apps out there is the clean integration with the os and today screen. I've tried other sms threader apps and they are buggy, don't grab messages when the pda is suspended, and leave copies of sms messages in poutlook. The one from triangle powers is a .net app and loads extremely slow because of it. It is expected that the palm written app will solve all of these problems. Plus it handles mms pictues, audio etc.
i dont say i dont use sms i just say i use sms as sms's as in short message service msg's
not as chat because i dont see the point of using it as chat
of cause if you dont pay pr. each sms
and want to chat with somebody who dont have msn it's usefull i guess
but another issue is the delay if that person is on a different network then you heard that compeating phone companys are not always too snappy to route to eachother

Well, I'm someone who wants the SMS chat program badly.
Understand, it's not so much that you use like an IM program, you don't.
This is just a method by which to organize your SMS conversations e.g. say you and your friend over the day send back and forth to each other 20 messages, all releated to the same thing. Now throw in 15 more random SMS from other peopel in the same day. Your inbox would be a mismash of 20 something messages (assuming you don't delete every single one, maybe there is important info you need).
This program would "group" your SMS into a single "chat style thread", like and IM history would. You can then just delete the entire thread at once when you are done with it. It's also nice to keep that previous information handy, especially if your discussing plans, information, phone numbers etc. You just scroll up to find it again.
If you're a heavy texter, this is a great way to organize your back-and-forth conversations. It's not an IM replacment, so don't think of it as that.
In my case I use it as a compliment to AIM. I have AIM forwarding all of my IM's to my cell phone when I am away. That way my friends and family can msgs me anytime anywhere. My phone/pda can remain in suspend mode conserving the battery and I still get my IM's. I can reply to them just like an IM session. No need for the AIM client on my phone.
The best thing about using sms over an IM client is that you can communicate with anyone that has a cell phone. You don't have to tell someone to register with an IM server to send them messages. It works in suspend mode. With a nice sms chat app the only advantage an IM client has over it is the messages are more instantaneous. But for phone use that is acceptable imo.
Of course this all assumes you don't have to pay on a per sms basis.
Hi! theloanranger said he extracted the 750v threaded app already. It's at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1035112&posted=1#post1035112
Can somebody try it and post the screenshots please? I'm so looking forward to using it with my Pocket Loox T830 (not arrived yet)
Screenshots/Need some help!
Screenshots are found here:
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1106882&postcount=15
NOTE: Some of us are having issues. We CANNOT send an SMS to an email address. We get an error message:
"Could not send message. The message center number or the email center number is invalid. Please contact the wireless operator."
Now, in the SMS app, if you go to Menu --> Options --> Advanced tab
Network Configuration/Manual/Edit...
You'll see spots for "message center number" and "email center number" and both are blank. When you put in a number (such as found here: http://www.smsfre.com/SMS-Mesaging-Centers.htm ) they do not stick after hitting "OK".
Any help/ideas?

Custom Email Notifications?

I originally posted this in the Hermes section but I now realize it should have been posted here. Please excuse the crosspost though.
Our Blackberry's have a way called "Level 1 Messages" to react differently to incoming emails based upon Sender and/or Subject text. This can include playing a different notification alarm and/or vibrating.
I'm trying to implement the same functionality into our new Cingular 8525 devices (WM5) and I'm not having much luck.
I've tried working with the POOM (Pocket Outlook Object Model) and it seems that doesn't cover incoming emails.
I then tried looking into MAPI and it seems that Messaging related issues only deal with SMS messages. We receive our Exchange email via Activesync over OWA (I think) and so that leaves MAPI out.
I am both amazed that this is that difficult and amazed that there aren't 500 questions related to this already here as I thought this would be a VERY common need.
If I can't figure this out, we'll have to go back to Blackberry and that's not what I want to do.
I looked at the software phoneAlarm and it supposedly has this functionality but it is very unstable and we could never get the Custom Email alerts working.
TIA - any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I searched first and followed all those goose chases but I still have not found a working solution.
I'm interested in such an app as well and have been unable to find one. I'm reviving this thread in case something new has developed.
Phonealarm provides such functionality, as well as an application from Quore fucntions called "inboxtones". Google it

WM 6.1 threaded SMS - howto make threads private?

Hi,
I'm searching for a piece of free or paid software, which can make some of my SMS private, but still will be fully integrated into WM Outlook. It should work with threaded SMS model, known from WM6.1 and should be able to suppress new SMS notifications for selected contacts. Also ability of importing SMS threads from common inbox will be great.
Do you know about anything that can help me and also others with the same problem? Please, tell us ,-)
Thanks in advance for replies
there is a program called Ez Secret SMS by CelSoft that has privacy features for sms... like password protect sms inbox, etc.. i think it's commercial though... search around and it's on the net for free as with anything else.
thanks for reply,
EZ Secret SMS is not the thing i'm looking for.
Its integration into pocket outlook is - none. It uses separate "mailbox", program itself acts like calculator for users that don't know about it. It cannot handle threaded sms and you cannot use strong passwords, just numbers (!). There's no information about strength of internal database encryption mechanisms. It's a kind of "security through obscurity", not a real security product...
but again, thanks at least for an idea ,-)

Group SMS

Does anyone have a regedit, or program they really like to send text messages to groups? The HD2 will only limit 10 recipients per group.
Yes, look in the development & hacking forums for Group SMS.

Thanks for the help. I've already searched within the xda developers forums and only found programs recommended back in 2007. I'm looking for something that will work with the HD2 and specifically WM 6.5
Hmm,
I wasn't aware that Group SMS and its sister, Group MMS, did not work with 6.5. News to me.
You might want to ping a pm to the developer asking the question.

Anyone successfuly install a thrid party group messaging app? Or, better yet, find a way to regedit the limit of contacts allowed for texting to be above 10? I need to send out texts to 40 people in my group. I tried the trial version of SKB Group SMS and that wasn't something I would consider. Is that the only option that will allow someone to text more than 10 contacts at once? This is killing me.
Think I may have found something here
