how to add sms to the new button

Is there anyway to add SMS to the menu of items listed under New on the Today page?
Ashby

Does anyone know what the write new sms application is called.
With this info I can add "new SMS" to the home page using a launch app.

i never solved it. The sms application is part of the phone dialer and I could not find a way of calling it directly.
I have got used to pressing green, then tools, send sms
Unfortantly the UI of the XDA II still needs a lot of development before the UI get efficent.

The today new items are actually referenced from the Registry here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu
So, if someone who actually has SMS in their Today screen New menu could take a look at this location through a registry editor and post the Key and details we may be able to get this to work.

I wonder if this is the reference you guys are looking for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu\{1D210285-ABE7-11d2-8442-0000F87A584A}
Create a new String Value called 'Default' with the value 'Message' (minus the quotes, of course )
I don't know if this is OS Version / Hardware specific, but here is what I'm using:
HARDWARE: i-mate
ROM Version: 1.52.00WWE
Radio Version: 1.06.01
ExtROM version: 1.52.83
HTH.

I usually go for "NEW E-Mail Message", then change the Service from ActiveSync to SMS.
Sometimes it is arleady set to SMS without having to change it. I think this happens if the last message I sent was an SMS, or if I have just received an SMS. I haven't really looked into when it happens.

Unable to send/receive MMS messages...

Hi all,
I have recently flashed my M1000 with the new ROM that is available from Orange which has the MMS application by ArcSoft. Look at this post for more relevant info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10914
Someone sent me a couple of MMS messages the other day (my first MMS messages on this device - I RARELY ever use MMS) and this is where my problem started.
I have attached a couple of images to help explain the problem...
The picture below shows the settings of the MMS composer with no connections listed in the "Connect via" list
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This piccy shows the list box expanded... Still showing nothing..
The image below shows that I do have a valid server for the composer to receive MMS messages from. The values in here have been confirmed by Ornage customer support as being correct.
Fnally, the image below was taken from Start->Settings->ConnectionsConnections->Advanced->Select Networks
As you can see, I definitely have several connecctions available including the MMS connection.
I have been in touch with Orange customer services and was escalated to their Level 2 support but the only thing they could suggest is re-flashing the ROM.
My device has been hard-booted a couple of times (due to some installed software and not my doing...) so I don't think re-flashing the ROM would make that much difference - although I could be very wrong about that!
Any help would be appreciated...[/url]

that's quite interesting! ... ROM flashing is not a bad idea as you have nothing to loose ... but I would advice you to start by changing the MMS Composer cab file in the extended ROM with a newer version ... I guess it's the problem of MMS composer not able to read properly from the registry data ... if the registry data itself is corrupted (valid if you can't use any other connectivity) then ROM flashing with a higher version is a must ... good luck.

Thanks Biso007 for the reply...
I've enabled the Extended Rom in my phone and tried running the MMS installer CAB file but this didn't help me at all.
Do you (or anyone else for that matter) know of anywhere that I can get a newer version of the MMS composer? The version I have installed currently is 1.6.0.14.
I suppose I could re-flash the ROM but at this point my phone is working nicely and would require yet another re-build... Something I'm getting quite adept at now, but still a pain!

Hi NinjaDonkey,
You should try to delete \My Documents\UAContents folder on your device...
Serge

Sadly, all this did was remove the messages that I want to receive and didn't force the app to re-load the Connect Via list.
Is it possible someone could post their registry tree for the MMS composer located at: HKLM\SOFTWARE\ArcSoft
Cheers

It's now fixed...
Did a full backup with Sprite, the machine hard-rebooted itself for some strange reason (saved me having to do it as I was going to do it anyhoo!), opened up the MMS Composer, looked at the Connect via option and it had a nice full list of connections.
I took the bull by the horns and restored my full backup (hoping the connections list would be intact in the composer), rebooted after the restore and all the connections were still in the drop down.
How strange....
Sprite is definitely my best friend
BTW, does anyone know what ActiveSync insists that my device and outlook aren't synchronised after a restore? Active sync asks me whether I want to combine or replace entries, I normally select combine but not too sure what the difference is...!

I have noticed this behaviour from ActiveSync before. It seems there must be some flag somewhere that tells AS a contact or calendar event is 'synched' and that doesn't get restored.
If you select combine, the PC and PDA get two of everything, if you sel;ect replace, then the entries are replaced, so you only get one of each.

Hi NinjaDonkey
I noticed in your screen shots that there is a bar along the very top of your display - is this battery level or something? What software do you use?
Thanks
Pope <><

It's a battery meter.
It comes as part of Pocket Plus 2.1

AAARRGHHH!
This problem has reared it's ugly head again.
My device hard-reset some time ago and at the time I thought I'd re-build it from scratch instead of restore from a backup...
Time went on and no-one had sent me any MMS messages...
Then my brother (well, his other half actually) had a baby and he tried sending me an MMS message. Lo and behold, the same problem occurred!
I've tried getting in touch with ArcSoft but I've not gotten anything back from them at all.
Can anyone help???

Not sure I can be of any help - but the I had the same problems you describe. I opened up the rom files from the orange rom and extracted the MMS cab file - I already had all the rest so didn't want to go through the pain of rom flash.
Once I had installed the cab it just wouldn't send mms messages - and for exactly the reason you describe - I couldn't get anything into the connect via box on the options.
Luckily for me it corrected itself - I haven't done any hard resets or anything, though I have done plenty of soft resets.
Anyway it works fine on my phone at the moment so if there is any settings etc. you want me to look at or post you I'd be happy to help.
Hope you get this sorted - its a real pain.
Cheers

I've tried all sorts of things to get it working... below should have worked surely but it didn't..
1) Do a full backup of my phone, then hard-reset myself. Grap a copy of the registry for MMS Composer in it's working state and a copy of it's installed directory.
2) Restore the previous backup, imported the registry I just made and then copy over the installed directory I made too.
3) It should work now as it should be "identical" to the freshly hard-reset state.
Waaaaaaa!
What's going on?!?!
Sooo frustrating. Even the bods at Orange Tech support (level 2 I think I got to in the end) didn't have a clue.

Hi,
I think this is related to the MMS Composer software version.
I've had the same problem with 2 devices both running version 2.0.0.13.
And no problems at all with 2 devices running 2.0.0.16.

cannot create new sms folder in wm6.1?

i'm using the tnt wm6.1 rom.
i was trying to create a new text message folder. though the option "manage folders" is there, it is not clickable. anybody know how to get around this problem?
thanks for the help

is isn't supposed to be clickable. you need to press AND hold on the folder you'd like to create a new folder in and then it'll open a menu with the option to create a new folder.

thanks for your reply.
i will like to create a new folder in the sms/mms account alongside the regular folders like inbox, drafts etc. i need the new folder to place my important messages.
when i click on menu/tools at the bottom right corner, the "manage folder" option is there but it is greyed out and not clickable. what do you mean by press and hold on the folder?

oh. it was a misunderstanding im sorry.
well.. i don't know why it would be gray. but what i do to create them is go into SMS/MMS and into inbox.. and then in inbox i choose Menu/Tools/Manage Folders.
works well for me. are you using any outlook SMS sync program?

Same Problem Faced, Help Appreciated.
All Smart Forumers,
As in this thread, my Diamond has faced the same problem as the Thread starter.
Is there any tweaks to enable back my "manage folder" option?

Had found another solution, still by registry hack :
This application describe it's work :
Willing to try follow this link
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But actually it's does this :
The 2 option buttons sets alternatively: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInbo xThreadingDisabled" Value=0 (threaded) or 1 (single).
The checkbox set: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings" "SMSNoSentMsg" Value= 0 if cecked, Value=1 if not cecked.

Seems I can add and manage folders when the text is not in threaded mode. Anyway to manage when in threaded mode?

Please Help
Has anyone found a lasting solution to this problem?

thx

Solution (I guess)
Hi,
this is the solution which worked for me. However I have HTC Touch HD. So I don't promise it is any good for HTC Touch Pro.
1. Disable threaded SMS inbox
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:1
Setting Value to 0 will give you normal SMS inbox
Setting Value to 1 will give you threaded SMS inbox"
2. This will un-grey Menu> Tools> Manage Folders item.
3. Probably you can re-enable threaded SMS inbox if you want.
BTW: I know all of this from this page/forum
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-touch-hd/19320-sms-folders.html
Best,

Easy add new sms folder on windows mobile
heres the trick to add new sms folder without change sms threaded mode..its simple,all you need here is just an application called "MagiCall" and your friend number or your 2nd number or maybe your operator number(for free charges,tehehe...).
Download and install "MagiCall" then follow this steps :
make new SMS filter give it a name,
rule type = SMS,
filter = specified number,
Phone # = fill with your 2nd number,
Action 1 = move
To folder = (this option will make new folder for you,be wish to give it name because i dont know how to delete the folder)
Ok then SAVE and minimize "MagiCall". last,just send a sms from your 2nd number to your 1st phone.

Cannot add folder
1. Disable threaded SMS inbox
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s]
I cant find this too.....
I am very new to PDA and this HTC Touch Pro 2 is my first PDA phone and needs a lot of help.
First of all is the add folder to sms.... I need to seperate my SMS to categorize it but i am unable to create additional folder for me to move it.
Read the forum and there is something about Threaded and unthreaded Sms. But i can't seems to Unthreaded it.
Will the be any problem or disadvantages if it's Threaded or Unthreaded?
Pls advise. Thanks !

I have the folders, lucky me! (only because they're restored with PimBackup! )
My issue (and I suppose this is mine only for now, you'll get there once you get your folders created) is that I cannot move any SMS from Inbox (to anywhere for that matter), the menu is grayed out.
I can do this from any of the folders recreated by PimBackup though.
I'm stuck.
But:
"One slow and stupid way of saving messages are delete all messages and from
deleted folder move them to individual pre made folders."
I am trying right now. But this would be really stupid.
Works!
Here's the source: eh. no link allowed, anyway there's eggheadcafe.

MagiCall does it best

Text Messaging / MMS Wipe OUT?

Hey yall,
I'm trying to figure out what happen here. I believe on most pocket pc phones - when you press messaging you are brought to a screen that shows the options
----------------
TEXT MESSAGES
----------------
MMS
----------------
SET UP EMAIL
----------------
What I would like to know is on my phone I had all those things however just recently all I would see after pressing the messaging shortcut is
--------------
SET UP EMAIL
--------------
Where did the text messaging and mms option go? Are there ways to fix this without hard resetting? I sure hope so - it'll save me a lot of time. Thanks a bunch guys.

I don't think the rom has anything to do with this - I could be wrong though. :-/

That is all the shortcut has personally I like:
32#:"\windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -open "inbox"
That is a direct link to SMS inbox I programmed it to my right soft key for fast access.
Hope I helped ya!

Thanks for trying however that won't solve the problem I am having above. Using file explorer I would click on tmail.exe - the only thing that will pop up is
Setup E-Mail
SMS and MMS are not there to choose from. Originally when I click on messaging I would get 3 options to choose from. Now I would only get 1. Does that make any sense?

Looks like you might need to install Arcsoft again to get it back if it is gone.

Well that didn't work. Thanks for trying though. One thing I do notice though is - when you hard reset and check the process section under taskmanager you will see tmail.exe running in the background. With my problem - the tmail.exe is no where to be found under process. Clicking on the actual tmail.exe file under /windows doesn't do anything either. :-/

Send sms to multiple contacts.
How To:
- type your message on the first box. if you want the name of your contact to appear in your message, just type in @@@ where you want the name to appear inside the message.
- add contacts in your list: Menu > Add Contact
- save your list for future uses: Menu > Save List
- load your list: Menu > Load List
- sending sms: Send menu will show SIM1 and SIM2 because this application was written for ACER DX900 dual sim phone but using it on a single sim WM device will also work.
- after pressing send, the application will hide itself, and will reshow itself after the task is done.

Havent tryed it yet, but it looks pretty usefull.
One thing though: You do realize that the second phone number is still readable on your screenshot, right?

Oldsap: This program works great! I am using it on a HTC Touch Pro on the sprint network. After trying out a lot of sms programs I was truely impressed, thanks for sharing!
Your program is light, fast, does not send multiple text to the same person (like so many sms programs do)
I have three items on my wish list for future versions.
1) Enable the clipboard feature for copy/paste.
2) Have a Character counter
3) Be able to save/ load Multiple contact list.
PS. I am willing to donate to see this program improved.

1) Enable the clipboard feature for copy/paste.
- for the text box?
2) Have a Character counter
- sure
3) Be able to save/ load Multiple contact list.
- can do

handy, cheers.

oldsap,
Potentially highly useful.
However I think it lacks three options to make it the best SMS sending software available:
- Directly importing contact category(ies) such as GroupSMS.
- Automatically use the mobile phone number, no need to select a phone number for each contact.
- Being able to send SMS using the firstname only as sending an email to your friends with their lastname looks a bit too comemrcial oriented to me.

- Directly importing contact category(ies) such as GroupSMS.
- i didn't want to touch the contact details that's why i made a list
- Automatically use the mobile phone number, no need to select a phone number for each contact.
- some people, like me, save 2 or more mobile phone numbers for each contact that's why i added an option to be able to choose to which number you want to send the sms to
- Being able to send SMS using the firstname only as sending an email to your friends with their lastname looks a bit too comemrcial oriented to me.
- i can add that option

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Brilliant
I had made alot of lists in text files and had to copy paste them manually to send messages to friends
Thanks alot oldsap

Hi, great work
But v1.2 delivers "unexpected error" at startup. Switched back to ver 1.
Will wait for future updates.
