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?

1 unread SMS, can't find it anywhere!

Hi all,
Since accidentally sending myself a text yesterday evening, my Touch HD won't get rid of a 1 unread SMS icon on the TouchFlo3D bar, as well as in the 'All Messages' view. There isn't an unread text anywhere in there! I've spent almost an hour going through each and every conversation in my inbox, making sure I read through from top to bottom, but it won't get rid of the notification.
Also, it won't vibrate when I get a new text. This is really annoying, as I permanently have my phone on silent and in my pocket - and I never know when someone's texted me!
Is there something I can do to mark all texts as 'read' in my inbox? Or maybe change a registry setting or something to reset it? I can't think of any other way to get rid of it. Something's obviously gone wrong somewhere.
I'm currently using Miri's v22 WinMo 6.5, if that helps?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Search and you shall find. I've come across many threads in this in the blackstone section (i've also had trouble with it myself in the past) Good luck

hi guys wat i can understand from above, to get rid of the unread message u need to go into all messages and then tap on LHS top where it says Inbox and select outlook or mail/inbox....there will be a welcome mail, mark it read or delete it and u wont have any un read message, then to go back tap on lhs top and go sms-mms/inbox
for the vibration on a sms recieved make sure u select vibrate in volume profiles as silent means no ring tone no vibration in HTC context.
i hope this helps

Try this:
"Safe" Inbox Extender
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265
It adds a 'Mark all as read' function to the menu.

Thanks for the replies folks. I did a search and found numerous threads, so far I've tried backing up using PIMBackUp, then restoring it which overwrites the messages and apparently resets the counter. That didn't fix it. Then I tried the Safe Inbox Extender, that 'Mark all as read' option didn't fix it either
Am going to try flashing to Miri's latest ROM (was going to do it soon anyway, before I got this problem), and am just hoping and praying that when I restore from backup that the problem won't come back with it! Else I'm going to go insane

If you perform a restore of contacts, sms & emails you will no doubt still have this issue.
Have you tried going into All messages > Inbox > select outlook or mail/inbox and then either delete message or mark it as read

wait for txt messages before typing! arrgh!

ok, so, im guessing we all know this already... if we have over 1 txt message saved when trying to reply to a txt message its a pain. since you cant type while the messages are loading... any way to make it so that you can type when its loading? help!
thx in advance

I can start typing, but the screen is jumping back a few messages, then I must scroll down and tap into the white area and continue to wirte my text. Some times it is laggy tou

Use the search chaps... there are many threads on this very 'issue'.
When opening a thread of messages, the HTC messaging app loads all messages in the thread (typing whilst loading does now work after HTC 'fixed' it, however it will probably be laggy). Once all messages have loaded a 'feature' of HTC messaging highlights the last msg.
A simple workaround is to attempt to send a blank txt, then when asked to confirm select no. Messages stop loading and you're able to type fine.

[Q] Any way to clear ALL Txt Messages?

is there a way to clear ALL txt messages .. bulk style. The only way
i can find is to manually delete one at a time, which is very times consuming when you have a couple hundred txts from a computer gone crazy
thanks for any and all help
otherwise.. the Focus ROCKS!

I dunno if you can delete every text message with one action, but you can delete text conversation threads by pressing and holding your finger over the conversation thread. When you do that, the option to delete the thread should appear.

I just tried to write a little app that would do that and, alas, like so many other things, the Windows Phone 7 API just doesn't provide a function for it.
So, while I can open a new SMS compose task I can't see all existing SMS messages, nor emails, etc., etc.
So, I'm afraid that if you really want to get rid of all of them you either need to do it conversation by conversation or do a hard reset.

bummer.. hard reseting to get rid of a couple hundred txts is a pain.. Im sure it will come in some update.. at least it handle all the txts fine.. unlike wm6.5

[Q] SMS/MMS questions

hey guys searched but did not find the answer....
I just got the Tmobile g2 and im new to android OS, had a TP2 before. How can I set the MMS message of a contact to stay on longer? When I view a picture message it just stays on for a couple seconds then goes right back to the text message. Is there any setting that I can make this longer?
Also is there a setting somewhere that can make it so that when I click the contact's picture, it will dial that contact automatically? I had this feature in my TP2 and would love to set it up like that.
Thanks in advance all

I would recommend downloading chompsms. I just did this for the first time last week and it blows away the standard android sms app.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Thanks for the reply, I was able to find the answers to both question. I downloaded the Handcent sms app and so far loving it, i'll give chompsms a try.

SMS notification bug
Hello, I wonder if some one here have same problem: Some times my HTC Desire Z with latest ROM doesn't want to notify me that sms is received, and I should randomly go in to Messages folder and find out there that there are some unread messages. It is not a Settings problem, because it is happening randomly. Let's assume every 10 or 15 message will be missed. Also, If i see that there are unread messages, i can read them from Messages folder, not from notification bar. And if I do so, notification in notification bar will not disappear, until i clear it manually... really strange. Thanks for solutions.

The length of each slide is decided when composing the MMS. If the sender sets it to 7 seconds (5 is default) then it will only be on for 7s. Save the attachment and you can view it for longer.

Factory restore after update helped to solve this problem
Desire Z

I have the same issue and it wasnt this way on the vibrant or the original MyTouch 3G. When someone sends an MMS, say a picture message, it shows up as a short 10 second video. I have tried saving as an attachment but didnt seem to allow me to do that.
