Direct Way To Start New SMS / HTC Action Screen - Touch HD General

Is there a way to create a link or program that can automatically pull up the SMS New Message screen? (Same action that occurs when you press the button in the TouchFLO screen).
I tried using HTC Action Screen (like I have in the past on my Wing), but the resolution is the issue.
Honestly, I would really LOVE to have all the features of the HTC Action Screen... but for now will be happy with just the New SMS link.
Thanks in advance for any ideas / solutions...

hd-tweak
there is an option to change left and right softkey in HD tweak
Option 14.4 and 14.5

"\Windows\tmail.exe"-service "SMS"
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "12345" –body "hello"

THANKS!!
Hey thanks for the reply.... your answer helped me solve this!
I took what you gave me, but ended up using the "transport" command. I was able to able to edit the LNK file, to the following:
\Windows\tmail.exe -transport "SMS" -to ""
And that did the exact same thing as the button in the Touch FLO 3D message screen. Opens the NEW SMS screen ready to type!
Thanks again... this board is awesome!
Take care,
Keith

New SMS Application: Working!

i have been looking through the forum, and have found ways to do it using the registry, but i want to put "New SMS" on the left. What is the program to run?
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\ ???????? .exe
Thanks!
Or perhaps does anyone have the t-mobile "soft keys app" from their extended rom? this will allow me to use a GUI format instead. Thanks
Ben
Best that i know - (what i use) is wm5menu (free) - changes the menu for the left softkey. You can have just new sms or new appt. new word doc, new task etc. find attached.
thats great, works well once i worked out how to use it.
This changes the registry to
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "Windows\wm5NewMenu.exe"
Is there a way to make it not require two clicks? As Left Soft Key now loads WM5NewMenu, and then a pop up loads giving New SMS. I'm looking for instant new text!
Thanks
VJPhoneTools can do it, somehow. I forget how, but it's on the forum somewhere!
V
Lol vijay, you need a holiday!
Vijay: If you get the oppurtunity/remember how could you post the small line of code for the registry on here for me?
Thanks!

YES! After 2 months of trying to make left softkey "New SMS" i have found the necessaries to do so:
Included is an app from the T-mobile UK rom in the windows folder that opens a new sms. put this into ur windows file, (does not matter which rom u are usingi dont think-i have tested on o2-uk and imate kjam roms), and make the following changes to ur registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "Windows\tnsms.exe"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = New SMS
reset and ur away!
I thought i should share because it has taken such a long time for me to do!
This file can be run from anywhere so if you want to make new sms from the today screen etc u can.
Ben
benjdc: did VJSMS "" not work? What system are you using?
V
im using WM5, but i wanted something with no strings-no command line and other apps included. this was what i was looking for in the end. thanks for ur help though!
Very nice
Thanks benjdc, very nice app: simple and so much more useful than the Calendar.
One minor thing though -- the file is named 'tnsms_108.exe', meaning the Open registry has to be renamed or (as I did) the file renamed to match your instructions.
Cheers!

PocketCM Noob help

i searched a ton of the threads and have found a lot of these questions asked, but not answered. so please if anyone can help me i am clueless with this. i dont like to touch registry stuff unless i absolutely have to, but i am willing to DL other programs like SIPChange to get stuff to work. anyway:
1. i am able to send texts via PocketCM which i think is awesome, but when i get a text, my phone no longer vibrates like it used to be4 PocketCM took over. is there anything i can do to fix this?
2. related to that one, can i make PocketCM my default text app? cuz it still pops up as new text notification and if i hit reply it goes to the WM default one
3. since ive been screwing around trying to solve these myself... i held down the phone icon, bringing up a new set of tabs, and went to the one all the way to the left. that brought up the default contacts page. now when i click on contacts on my screen, it brings that up instead of the incredible PocketCM! this is heartbreaking since i want PocketCM to be my default everything. even if i restart PocketCM it now defaults back to the Windows Contacts page...
any help at all is appreciated, thanks in advance
put this command inside the settings.ini of the skin (.cmt) file.
bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Not sure without looking into it further.
2. On my device I disabled the new text notification. Its now setup that whenever a new text msg comes in it goes to the pocketcm sms screen. The most recent msg's are at the top. Not sure how to change the reply button though.
3. Happened to me.. did a soft reset and it was back to normal again. Give that a try.
Also pocketcm has a forum on their site (www.pocketcm.com). Might wanna try there if you don't get the answers.

3. soft reset worked! thank you.
2. thats a good idea ill do that and if anything it will trick me into thinking that PocketCM is my default
1. soft reset actually fixed this too, but im wary that it might change...
as for shekhar, what issue is that addressing? making PocketCM the default text app?
thanks a lot for your help

Text message today plugin

Hi! I'm looking far a today plugin that will display on the today screen as if you were looking at your messages inbox. Anyone know if this exist? Thanks in advance!!
i know throttle launcher now has this as one of its features.
Spb Diary has an awesome text reader! When you tap the message, a popup of the text shows, from there you can call or reply.
Pocket Breeze by SBSH has this feature too.
Ultimate Launcher functionality...
Thanks for thetips. I tried throttle launcher and thought it was a bit slow. Plus I'm looking for one that will work with ultimate launcher. I would like to be able to rotate the cube and be presented with my inbox. Thanks again guys!!
That would be great.
*Bump*
Sorry for the bump. I'm really craving trying to get something like this setup on my phone.
Pocketbreeze is the best so far (I think), what else
SBSH Pocketbreeze http://sbsh.net/product.php?id=20 is the best program.
I was searching for the same thing. It can be very customized (you really need to sort out all the options...)
Because:
- You can set the font off the messages read/unread (example: green & small if read, big read if unread).
- It has other Tabs you can use (calender, contacts, etc...) but you can set your "start-tab" (so display messages at first sight).
- Hide all "side-bars & setting buttons". A clean screen with the messages big on screen.
- Gesture control: you can "slide" to other TABS.
- Popups with message example
- Integration with Ultimate Launch goes well, as long you disable the gestures for the Pocketbreeze plugin. A little stripe above or bellow let's you slide to other Ultimate Launch screens.
If configured well, you have a "slide PIM" in your "Ultimate Launch Cube"
That's the way I use it...
If you really need help with the settings, just post a replay here...
Guys,
Anyone can advise why my Ultimate Launch is not appearing on my Settings->Today->Items?
In the Registry, this is what I have:
Flags: 0
Options: 0
Order: 34
Selectability: 2
Type: 4
Thanks!
Is the pocketbreeze download freeware or shareware?
just click and see,

Ah, thanks for the link.

Emoticons Help

Can someone let me know how you put these in an sms message please?
Thanks in advance
I would also like to know if that is possible, so if any one knows any thing about that please help.
On the text page press menu at the bottom right, insert/picture video/mydocuments/uacontents/emoticon all done.
Hope that helps.
Thank you....
I think what we meant is how to insert an emoticon in line with the text message. The tip above merely creates a Picture message, with the emoticon as the main picture, which is daft.

There is no way to have them by default in WM, but take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328363
Or you could just alter the texts in your templates to smileys. They will show up as icons on phones that support smileys.

Screen On when SMS recieved

On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me
There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after
Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
ah, excellent, thanks
just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)
I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?
lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second
someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?
