Palm messaging works on Dash

Hello all,
Wanted to share that I was able to install the cab file taken from the palm messing that was found in the MDA section of xda-developers.com forum, can't find the thread now sorry!!!!!! But I was able to install and get the program to send text messages out, but it will not thread because in the registry couldn't I couldn't change the sms key to sms.old
In the Dash registry it was a lil different than the MDA, if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated. I know it's simple just not sure, still neebe but willing to learn and try!!!!!!!!

Yes..someone please get this to work. As i'm sure we are all coming from MDA or similar devices. I was one of the lucky ones to get the threaded sms app from Palm working on my device. It's definitely nice. Don't get me wrong the 2 sms threader apps that are available now: sms threader & TXTMAN are nice..but they have some big tradeoffs that didn't occur on the Palm version.

umm..wow..it really does work. I did the normal instructions from the "How-To"... no notification sounds for it though. Im sure a little registry hacking could fix that. Everything threads hmm..testing mms..well i actually i cannot test..just realized I can't even navigate anymore lol. Pressing the back key closes the program. ARGHH! you can get around the smiley's and Mytext just buy bringing up the option but other than that it looks like a dead end. Any suggestions?

I was using the cab file for the ppc and I haven't been able to get it work like it was working on the MDA. Tried all kinds things in the registry, but nothing seemed to work.
Then I finally got the thread to work but all together lost MMS, As for your situation did you make the registry tweaks to sms and mms1 and change them to .old? Not to familiar with 1.5 and assuming it may have to have the same setup. If I find anything I will let you know.
For now I have taken it off and it required for me to reset the phone and start all over. So once again I will be working on the aforementioned issues.

I didnt do the registry entries, I wasnt able to find them on BB's site.
The version I have is branded as "SmartPhone" vs the PPC version which I also have.
I think it is for the older processor type maybe?
G

ok, found the info on BB's site and made the registry changes as well as the app unlock.
VC still refuses to run on my Dash, all I get is "VoiceCommand has encountered a problem, restart voice command"
Noticed that voice comand also completely breaks the built in voice dialing
G

Could someone send me the install file please? thanks

Feel free to pm me and I will be more than happy to send you the file

It seems this user has disappeared. Please, if anyone still has the SmartPhone branded version of the software please PM me or reply and I'll contact you.
Thanks in advance,

I also need the smartphone version. If one of you good hearted souls can assist with this. thanks in advance.

how to change soft key in SMS application

i got wm6 black and once i open SMS up..
the soft key on the left handside is "delete" i wanted to chante to "new"
can someone tell me how to do that please?
thanks.

This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.
The delete button is bugging me as well...

I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.
If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................

There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.

As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

New SMS Short Cut
I dont know if this helps but I thought I would throw it out there. I was looking for the same thing. Here is a link on how to create a short cut for New Sms.

here it is already made just extract and copy and paste in ppc:

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.

hey mike thanks for posting that little shortcut.

Your Welome!

I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.
Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.
I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.
I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).

Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.
Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.
It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.
EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !

Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.

Probably one of the BEST contact programs and keyboard you will ever use

I found this Contact Manager just today while I was browsing online.
http://pocketcm.com/index.php
It works great on my 8525 and is all touch activated, kind of resembles the iphone. Works nicely. There is also a keyboard program that copies the iphone as well.
Just thought I would share with the community.

I like it also, but I find it difficult to scroll precisely. Sometimes it goes 10 contacts ahead, sometimes 100!
And it is a litte difficult to really close it.
The keyboard I really like.
There are big threads running in the General section.

Sorry I didn't really know where to post it. I guess I should have put it there.
What I figured out is that if you want to close it, you just hit the hang up button and then it closes like with any other program really. And if you want it to scroll slower you just move your finger slower. I've been playing around with it all night and seems to be working out. Remember this is just a BETA version of it. So it has a lot of potential and it moves pretty fast.

There are threads already for it. Please research a bit before posting, Please read rules before posting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545

Im sorry...as noted in the above post I already appologized for posting this....thank you for being redundant.

Yep pocketcm is great (checkout the photo viewer) the developer tene is a regular on these forums (check the hacking/general section for the latest updates) also if you check the general/hacking forum you can find a bunch of alternate themes for pocketcm

Easy way to close it is to take it out of fullscreen mode. Then you can hit the x-button to close it like any other program.

thanks!
I just want to say big ups to all of you guys. I just recently completed some customizations on my (once boring) 8525. The pocket cm is wonderful and the pocketcm keyboard is a nice touch. I do have one question.
It seems that i cannot send sms' directly from pocket cm. Is there a way that you can sms your contacts directly from the pocket cm?
Thanks

just have to press and hold the send button in pocket cm for like a 2 second count and it sends.

PocketCM it's great, but about keyboard I think that "touchpal" it's better.

Just change the keyboard setting in advanced config or under HTC Custome if you have it, select Cingular for ATT & Cignular or you lang if dif. I think this is like the 100th time this has been asked. Doesn't anyone use search?

Thanks Scrambler001, i am glad someone asked it, i am a newbie i tried a search, before asking but you was kind enough to still answer that other person. I have to sneak around work to use the cpu really so i never have a chance to actually sit and read. Thanks again, fixed...

i checked in the advanced config app, the only choice for keyboard layout is "english", still the same results. I dont have any HTC Customize apps or settings on my device either.

Well then just install HTC Custome if you need to. I thought all the options were available in Schaps rom though you might need to scroll up or down to find the Cingular one if thats what your looking for. Thats what I did when I installed his ROM.

8525 Keyboard Fix
This always works for me. Hope it helps.

I"m just wondering, did no one bother to look in the Schapp's 4.0 thread. I think it was asked about four times in there

You bet I even posted the answer there a few times already but the starter of this thread probably didn't go through the whole thread or search using a good key word like "keyboard" or some such. I think the total is more than 4 though and if you count the number of times it's been asked out of the thread well I run out of fingers and toes so go figure. LOL

Very stupid question

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.

click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

That's a great tip! I never realized that! You should put that in the wiki!

Thanks to both vigohz and MCBrian!

You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.

You seem to be lost...you have a Kaiser, not a Rhodium.
You should be posting in one of the Kaiser sub-forums.

Wow, I did not know either of these two tips, I had been opening the onscreen keypad and using the arrow keys to move down to the message. Thanks to both of you!
