WM6 messaging question - HTC Excalibur

In WM6 where it used to say "new" on the left softkey in messaging it says "delete" now. Is there any way to change it back to "new" the "delete" isn't anywhere near as useful. Thanks guys

Change the TouchFlo shortcuts? i.e. contacts button points to PocketCM?

How would you change where the buttons on the touchflo cube point? Would it be possible to point the contacts icon on the cube to PocketCM instead of WM contacts.
Also, it would be nice to be able to keep the cube open behind the application you launch, so that when you exit, it goes back to the cube.
Sorry if this has been answered already, but i couldnt see it anywhere!
Thanks in advance,
Ben.
it has indeed been answered in another thread.
But especially for you: you can modify the Buttons via Biotouch in your Programs.. The Cube can't be held open. I guess it would eat a lot of Memory anyways..
Thankyou very much for you reply!
However, I dont see anywhere in "BioTouch Settings" that lets you define the contacts button that you get below the 9 quick dial pictures. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Ben
oh, this one you can't change afaik. The contacts page on the cube seems to be the program itselfes and if you click to the contacts symbol it changes the view to the contacts program.
read tom's first post of his B&B4 thread. he added a big list of how to change stuff. one of the entries reads:
"Want Set Pocket CM to default contacts ?? ----> HERE<------"
click it, read it, be happy

Text Messaging softkeys after change to WM6

With WM5, the softkeys were
Left softkey: New (text message)
Right softkey: Menu
after upgrading my Cingular 8525 to WM6 it is not that useful:
Left softkey: Delete
Right softkey: Menu
In effect, to create a new message I need to select Menu and then New.
Is it possible to assign New to the left softkey?

Nope, not if your talking about in the messages screen. You can, however, set a soft key on the today screen to New SMS.
this has been a problem since the leak of WM6, search around, can't remember if theres a solution or not because it doesn't bother me that much, most of the time i'm replying to texts.
Take a look here, and here.

Thanks for a quick answer. I have no idea why Microsoft decided that the typical action when going to Text Messages would be to delete a message and not write a new message. You may store hundreds of messages without noticing a dent in the available memory.
How to create a shortcut from the Today screen to New SMS or reassining one of the softkeys to this function?

Use softkey changer (attached). If it gives you the error "missing file tnsms" then drop the attached corresponding file in ur /windows folder.
Kiitos Karhu and thanks mcorrie1121. I will test your solutions.
The SoftKey.cab from the link in Karhu's post is the only thing needed. One item on the list of commands to assign to a softkey on the Today screen is "New SMS". Works perfectly.
If you do not mind one more tap you can also use WM5 New Menu - provides more options than just new SMS.

Feature Loss after upgrading to WM6.0!

Hiya,
Prior to upgrading to WM6.0, There was a feature on the phone to allow me to write text anywhere on the screen, and this is entered in text fields, however after updating to WM6.0 I can't seem to be able to access this feature (can't remember the name). I used to access it via the small keyboard icon at the bottom of text fields. Is there a way to restore this feature?
Thank you very much for any help

This feature is called transcriber. There are cabs available for this.

Transcriber
Is that what you're talking about? It was not removed in WM6.
Click on the bottom keyboard icon. A triangle will appear next to it. Click on it & select "Transcriber."
If its a cooked rom that you upgrade to a lot of the chefs remove transcriber so you really need to look for and re-install the cab. Cheers....

Remapping Message double tap to take me to SMS in Manila 2.1

Hello all. First time poster, long time reader. I've got myself a Touch Pro 2 on VZW running the feb. 10th version of mighty rom. I have just one tiny problem with this rom, and also with the standard rom. When I double tap a text message from Manila, it opens said message in Manila's text messaging program. What I want to know is does anyone know of a way to tweak the registry or manila itself to allow for the double tap of a text message to bring me into windows mobile's text messaging sms program?
I apologize mods if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it to the right one. I also searched for about a half an hour and could not find a resolution to my problem.
Thank you all in advance.
