Override defaults with PocketCM - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I have searched the forum and cannot figure this out.. I am able to remap my softkeys to launch PocketCM instead of the built-in Contact app for wm6 on my Sprint Touch.
Does anyone know how to override the defaults so that anytime a notification is recieved for a new txt message, missed call, ect - it will only launch PocketCM instead of the built-in wm6 apps? Also, if I were to press on the icons in the wm6 today page for message/notification/missed call, can i have it launch PocketCm instead of the built-ins?
Please advise. Thank you,

Did you use CAB or ZIP to install?
Obviously, you can disable the new SMS notifications in WM and set Pocket CM to come to the front instead.
You can also set PocketCM to be your default WM Contacts App if you use the CAB installation method. This will ensure that any icons previously mapped to WM Contacts will redirect to PocketCM instead
As for calls, you will automatically be diverted to the WM Call history list. I don't think there is a way around that one. However, its worth trying Vito FunContact just to check whether thay have managed to do it. If so, you could search the Registry for FunContact entries and see how they've done it.

Assigng PocketCm to open from Windows Notification Popup?

Right now, I have PocketCM assignged to my right softkey in order to send my text messages. No problem. What I would like to do, is set up the program to open when you get the notification of a recieved message. Much in the same way that Flexmail opens automatically.
Not necessarily opening on its own though, but when you click the right softkey after recieving the text, the menu pops up and asks, Call Sender, Save as read, Dismiss, Delete, or Open. How do i (can I?) set it up so that selecting the Open option will open PocketCM? Would I be correct in assuming that it's a registry tweak?
If the question has been answered already, which I'm almost sure it has to have been, I apologize. A search on this has brought up topics, either not nearly related to what I am looking for, or topics so old and/or convoluted to be of any service to someone who isnt already familiar with the subject matter.
I know it's mostly irrelevant in this instance, but I'm on a Tilt running Alex's newest Ultralight. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Same Question I Asked, I Was Told It Could Not Be Done, But Id Like To See What Everyone Has To Say...
From my end I dont see it being impossible, if programs like Flexmail & Sunnysoft Contacts can do it. Hell, Opera Mini can be set as the default browser. I think it just takes more knowledge of the subject matter than we currently have, lol
well if i have pocketcm minimized it pops up when i receive a message

This is true, but I'm a memory nazi who closes everything when I'm done using them. So while your way sorta "works", I'm really hoping to get it done the other way, lol.
Edit - Typo
I would like Pocket CM to open directly to the person's theaded sms window when i receive a message. Right now Pocket CM opens, but it's impossible to tell who sent it. SO then i have to use the notification window to open the default text message program.

rubbish: if you have "show text count on" the person who sent it is at the top of the list and the text count say 1/x
although i do agree it would be nice to open at the thread and even if pocketcm wasnt active at the time
I agree with above, the way PocketCM doesn't handle new messages was a deal-breaker for me. Everytime there is a new version I install it because i really like the look and feel, but i always take it off a couple of days later due to this issue. What's the point of having threaded SMS if you have to open a slow program to view the thread each time a new message comes in?
Esp now that WM 6.1 already uses threaded SMS. My Touch Dual supports flick and scroll already, so I guess the only interesting thing in PCM for me would be the nice transitions.

Ok, am I missing something? I have a sprint mogul with wm6. When I get a text message with window notification I do not have a "Open" option when i press the right soft key. i have Call Sender, Save as Read, Reply, and Dismiss. It's annoying when I have a long message that doesn't fit in the notification. I have to dismiss it and then go into Text Messaging to read the whole text. There is suppose to be an "open" option?

Threaded SMS on Niki

Hi!
I'm looking for a threaded SMS app for my Niki that:
- Integrates in the messaging interface (so not messasing in contacts)
- Shows the new message arrival on the screen (replacing the default notify)
- Works with Dutch T9
- Without upgrading to a WM6.1 rom
Any suggestions ? I know that the Palm Threaded SMS app does most of the things, except a good notify / count on the homescreen....

I use the lord smiff threaded sms cab - this usses the t-mobile uk settings if you need this you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1309352- if not you can search for a suitable one,
Vito SMS Chat?
Vito does not support Dutch T9 ... doesnt it ?
Im testing the Vito SMS chat now and I love it, there are a few problems thouh.
1.) Does not work with the slide out keypad
2.) Does not work with the software touch keypad
So I use the software touch keyboard, so its a two handed job all the time.
3.) It moves all the SMS to a different folder.
So vito needs to work on these three things.
and if they can add:
-SMS Predefined groups.
I tried lord smiff threaded sms and it rocks. . But I no programs I know of backup the text messages
the 1.2 version of sms-chat works with the keyboard AND T9
I'm hoping they incorporate MMS into it soon as well
Thanks for bringing this back up.
When you say keyboard, do you mean the slide out touchpad?
Now I remember why I uninstalled it, as of now im testing pocketCM which also has threaded SMS
yeah the hardware keyboard and software touch keyboard both work perfectly well on my sms-chat and im using t9 as well
my sms-chat is version 1.02.
I just uninstalled pocketCM after a few hours, still buggy.
When Vito has the options to view calls and MMS together with SMS then ill get itfor sure, till then, it back to stock aps for me
where can i get the threaded sms cab??? please
read the first page of this thread...the link is on it!

Have you seen Extreme Text from Birdsoft? Check it out here. I use it on my Kaiser and really like it. It doesn't need WM6.1. It has a better looking interface even than @M6.1 Threaded Messaging.
A New Text Message box pops up when a message arrives, but I think it's the standard box. If you ignore it, it goes away - then just open Extreme Text and the message is there. But the message is also in the standard inbox, so you can access it through Arcsoft messaging as well, and you don't have to worry about backing up a separate set of files.
I don't know why it wouldn't work with any language T9 - it doesn't demand any certain keyboard. I just used it with Touch Diamond keyboard, no problem.

WM 6.5 Lock Screen email tab

Hello, just wondering if there was a easy way to map the email tab on the new WM 6.5 lock screen so it does not bring up the Outlook email, instead it would open the new email directly? Thanks
Bottom of post 3 of my 6.5.x thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3
This will allow you to redirect the application launched, however you will still need a program or option that will load up the email directly
Ok so I changed it to \windows\tmail.exe
So we will see what happens shortly, thanks for the help.
Worked like a charm thanks, your the man!

Hi I have a problem with the lockscreen and its SMS/TEXT Notification. If my mobile is locked and it's receiving a message or a call, the number of missed items will be displayed on the slider. But if the mobile goes to suspend mode it will loose the number of SMS on the slider after waking up again.
Do you know why and how to fix that?
I was just going to ask if there was away to extend the slider notification time, (if thats what it is). I do find if you don't unlock soon after a new email / txt or whatever is downloaded the sliders notification disappears.
any of the numerous more knowledgable people in this forum know what registry setting would set the lockscreen slider to open manila sms when i get a text?
