hi all, would like to ask if anyone have any experience editing thread_sms.htm other than just to change the size of the sms input box?
I experimented changing the other parameters in the file and it's corresponding css file but none of the changes took effect.
I am aware of the need to remove the system and read only attribute before editing.
Any one has any ideas to share?
if we can edit these 2 files, we might be able to do some minimal skinning for the sms app.
In file thread_sms.htm search the parameter height and set the value = 70 instead of 35 or 30 (not remember the original value). Restart pda and you will have a input text box for tree line text.
For change file you need to copy it in your PC and after recopy to pda, using resco explorer or total command.
erm. i think you misread my question. I know how to change the height of the sms box. I am asking if anyone has experience changing the other values?
Hmm. You tried changing which parameters? If it can be skinned with html, it will be marvellous!!
I've tried many roms and none have any special modifications that I am aware of. It would be cool to have it skinnable
You can customize font colors via the read_style.css stylesheet, and i've also seen someone put a background image in the sms view. It was just generic html code. I don't remember the details, but i saw the thread about it here, on xda-devs.
Try searching the forum for read_sms.html

Is it possible to launch a program from a shortcut with an additional parameter?
E.g. "\Program Files\OpenVPN.exe client.ovpn"
If yes, how to create such a shortcut? I noticed WM shortcuts include a number and are different from Windows shortcuts.
Thx!
EDIT: just found the solution here: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2005/08/22/454922.aspx
One minor point: the system actually disregards the number of characters completely so you do not really have to count them.
If you insist on a proper shortcut and are making it on the device I found that the edit feature in Total Commander is grate for this purpose as it has a letter count and saves in plain text format.
Nice tip. I found a PPC proggy called vxShortCut which can do it as well (http://www.cambridgevx.comhttp://www.cam.com/windowsce.html)
They have a nice bunch of other useful tools as well.
i dont want to redo the app at all, all i want to do is customize the three hotkeys??? i want the text app to go to pocketCM threaded text messaging?? is that possible?
Not sure but does this help?
that edits the tabs and everything. I just want to edit the three little boxes above the tabs. The email, text, and missed calls
this program cannot edit those three tabs?? maybe a reg edit, to specify path to the PCM text messaging?? anyone have a clue how to do thisZ
It takes more than a simple registry hack to get this to point elsewhere. I hexedited the HTCHome.dll file to point to "fmail.exe" instead of "tmail.exe" and fmail.exe is a vjbrisk pointer to FlexMail. Even hexediting is insufficient as you need to digitally sign the dll file so it can run again. Even then, it will not go to the corresponding folders.
so...... dont even bother w/ threaded text messaging. Because i use that link a lot
maybe a mortscript can change the reaction to the tab? I want to use flexmail too, because poutlook suck so bad. Cannot display half of my email, only thing it display is the subject.

Hi, this is a beautifull news for me.. I've a VGA device and I want to edit the fixed HTCHOME.DLL for VGA that work form me but all icon and text are too small, can you explane m ehow i cann edit (hexedit) the HTCHOME.DLL?
thanks in advantage.
using PocketCM too...
could you plz teach us how to edit the dll to point to it or could you share your dll so we can use the same method to open our software?
Experts,
I've got a Tilt 2 Rhodium with the stock AT&T ROM. I've removed nearly all the accessible bloat, and have done my share of registry edits to make it usuable now. There is just one sticky problem that seems beyond my limited abilities and I seek your help.
The built-in YouTube app's registry key calls for a proxy to be used: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\YouTube - ProxyName=wap.cingular.com:80 (or something close to that value). For whatever reason, my YouTube app times out on connect when that default value is in place. When I replace the value with [BLANK] or delete the REG_SZ all together, YouTube functions perfectly.
The problem is that changing this registry key does not survive a restart or a reset - I believe it even restores itself intermittently. I made a CAB file that I can run but it just seems ham-fisted to me to have to run it manually, choose the target, click ok, etc., and frequently. Is there a way for this lone registry value to be blanked or deleted automatically on restart or YouTube launch? Or better yet, to prevent it from being repopulated with the default value automatically?
Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

You could try Dotfred's famous task manager. It supports many different command line parameters, and one happens to be registry modification.
Code:
[filepath] /silent
Theoretically, you can create a shortcut to the task manager, which uses the parameter to point to the .reg file containing the registry setting you'd like. If you don't know the format of a .reg file, I suggest you export any key in your registry with any reg editor, then open the .reg with a text editor to learn the format. Then, you could place the shortcut in your \Windows\Startup folder, which points to the registry folder, and it would (in theory) change the registry key on startup. Also (in theory), you could use RunEveryDay to create a scheduled task (using your command line parameters pointing to the reg file) to periodically change this value to [blank] on a schedule.
You could also do all of this with a provXML, but .reg is just as easy, and IMO requires less work in formatting it. Hope that helps
Mortscript
I use mortscript to write a reg value every reset.
if you need help send me PM
Thank you both for the assistance and thoughtful responses. I will look into them.
Meanwhile I've searched the phone's registry for the string "wireless.cingular.com:80" which is the actual value of the "ProxyName" registry entry at HKLM\Software\HTC\YouTube. It comes up in three other places.
I'm not an expert, but I'm comfortable with deep tinkering and have yet to break something I couldn't fix. So, thinking that one of these three other places is from where the refresh is coming, I plan to delete those values also and see if that prevents the repopulation of the ProxyName value with the default string.
If it doesn't work, then I can always revert the three other values to the default and use a script program instead.
The value appears to be repopulated upon any change in the network environment, be it activating/disabling WiFi or "data conection," and also apparently when I connect with ActiveSync - not 100% sure about that though.
Thanks again, both of you.
Regards,

how can i change the font size to bigger for writing sms?
Changing the "text size" on the "menu" chnages the text size of received messages only on my device.

Hi
I had this problem with my recent rom.
Go to the post where you download rom and probably you have news from your sms write problem.
Hope help your problem
Best Regards
sorry, but i do not quite understand what you mean. which post?
I thought I would bump your question. I too would like the text that you are writing to be bigger. I am using swype and there is no double tap on the small text to correct it. The email text is much larger and the double tap works.
So I figured if your sms text size would be bigger than the doubletap would work to highlight and correct using swype.
i posted this question on several forums already and have never got a satisfactory answer.
it seems impossible.
What about SPB Mobile Shell 3.5? Is it maybe possible to make fonts bigger in it?
I did a quick browse through the registry and tried a few modifications but came up empty. There has to be something in the registry that sets the size of that font.
disable htc sense then you have to edit messagingclientdll.dll.409(or your language code).mui under windows folder. first unsign it, then open with resource hacker, check keys 51,52 and 53 where you will see font names and sizes. increase the sizes, sign the file with a developer certificate, install sdkcerts.cab, replace the mui file. restart htc sense, you're all set.

Could someone please help me with that?
A lot of people are looking for that so it would be great if someone could edit this files and share them with us!!
Thank you!
try settings, in the settings menu go to "screen" and in there a tab at the bottom says text size, trying changing that to bigger and see if that helps??
@Subsx:
Thanks, but it only changes the font size for received message, not those you want to send. As though you do not need a better readability for what you write....very strange.
They probably think: you either read or you write. Consequently, If you write you do not read it anyway... so you do not need a better "readability"
have you reset the phone afterwards??
@Subsx:
I had this setting put to "largest" from the day i bought the phone some months ago and have resetted it at least 100 times since then.
does this setting change the font for writing on you phone? if so: which firmware do you have?
i have 1.66.405.2 WWE
@Subsx:
This is not working, especially not in the traditional mode. This is old.
The interesting thing is this:

Goal is to increase font size of writing and/or reading SMS.
I, too, have been trying to change the font size for the text when composing an sms. I'm really puzzled how the HTC engineer/managers can release such a major software and not realize that the font size is very small, esp for such a huge screen.
Is there any other sms application that one can buy / retrieve from anywhere that has bigger font size?
Thanks in advance.
I think I will go for the easier and quicker method.
I am going to hold my HD2 nearer to my face when I type messages. The text gets larger automatically if I do that.
Can anybody help here to get that finally fixed please!

won't work for me, tried it with a 407 (german) dll, there are other keys to change, however set all font sizes from 8 to 12 and certificate it, after replacing and restarting sense the sizes are the same as before.
any further hints?
cheers,
So no one managed to to this yet?!
when i receive a message its just play the sound... i have made some setting but i think its somewhere in regirsty... could any one help?
Set the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 0. You can find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL .
With registry Editor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
thanx, now its working.
I cannot change the value, it says Access is Denied. I am using Mobile Registry Editor.
Hmmm, strange....try with this editor....if not works we can try via desktop.....
Frank, the file is not complete. I don't see an executable. I have previously used Mobile Registry Editor to change my SMS thread to the classic style and other small settings. I don't understand why it doesn't want to accept changes.
I tried changing some values of other strings to see if the problem was with the registry editor but then I could change some, like this one:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
but I can't change the value of, DisableSMSWakeUpEvent.
Sorry about my dumbness. Frank, I did not realize I had to install the cab file in my mobile. I changed the value successfully.
Thanks a lot for the help.
