Contact UI - HTC Excalibur

So I want a new contact interface and theme for my windows mobile phone currently using the latest kavanna rom.
I found yota contacts and downloaded the qvga but I cant get it working on my phone.
So I'm wondering what dialers and contacts ui's people are using on their excaliburs?

Chat-style SMS

Before I got my Blue Angel I had a Treo 600 for ages and I still miss some of its cool features (and size/weight).
One of the nice things about SMS on the Treo was that it would organise the messages into a thread between you and each sender/recipient so that they would appear like a chat or IM session.
Anyone seen this on PocketPC ?
This chat style IM setup is standard on most Android smart phones - if you don't have it, you should consider the app market for Chomp or GOsms
Since Win Mobile supports this feature from 6.1 onward, you can also use a Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 ROM, both of which can be found in the forum here.
Works quite nice on my Device.

Anyone get this to work

I really wanted to get my vogue running this and I can't figure out how to do it.

I really like the calendar tab... I had 2d running for a while but it droped my quick contacts when using activesync.
I'm back to using the alltel 6.1 rom
Huh? All you have to do is purchase and install Spb Mobile Shell, and replace the files. Or after installation, you could use the customizer.

SMS messages - chat loooks like

In previsious ROM all was very nice oredered, like a conversation between 2 people in chat, messenger or icq.... i upgrade today to another ROM and i forgot to check what was the name of this "sms interfae/program"
can anyone helop me with it? i want the "chat" look back
Windows Mobile 6.1 has the "threaded" chat style sms your looking for. WM 6.0 does not have it. What rom are you running? I think it can be enabled/disabled in 6.1 also but I have not tried.
If you want to add it via another program search for threaded sms. I just use the one built into wm6.1, and I haven't tried any of the others like the palm threaded.

Black Calendar in Win 6.1

Hello,
I got question, I like very much black calendar from Win 6.5 and new Manila, is it possible to load into stock ROM (Win 6.1, Manila 1.3) without changing whole ROM?

But you can try the SuperCalendar from ScaryBear Software. It got a lot more options as well. And of course, you can configure all kind of possible colors.

Thanks for help but I'm looking for calendar witch can be launched from manila...
I guess it's impossible without re-flashing ROM
I use ThumbCal on my HTC Touch HD.
It's not free, but I feel it's worth it.
+1 for ThumbCal. (www.thumbapps.com)

Override HTC SMS with WM SMS?

The question I have is that when clicking on the message preview or when clicking on "Send Message" from the contact details screen, is there a way to default to using the WM messaging instead of HTC's? I much prefer the threading of WM as it's quicker and not sluggish. My sig has my current phone specs.
Thanks!

Give this cab a try, I think it's what you're looking for...it disables the HTC SMS interface. You'll still have the "messaging" tab in TF3D/Sense, but when you select a message on that tab, it will go straight to the WM interface.

Thanks for the advice. I installed the .cab and did a soft reset but it's still popping up with the HTC SMS interface for messages
-Not sure if the NGR ROM is preventing the .cab from working.

That's possible, I'm honestly just running the stock tmo ROM (6.1), so the issue could just be 6.1 vs 6.5. I have seen other cabs on here that do the same thing, they might be 6.5-compatible. I don't have any of the others anymore or I'd just post them here for you. I'm pretty sure I found them just by searching "disable HTC SMS"
Would also be interested in getting the original Winmo interface working for 6.5, the sense messaging app is craptastic!
Still haven't had any luck with this yet. I tried installing the Zeyene cab but that didn't fix anything. I then installed the SMS cab that NRG provides with his ROM, but that's just a different skin and was just as slow as the HTC SMS.

Yeah, that's the other one I've used, and I know it works on 6.1, but I can't say for 6.5...either the HTC messaging module is different in 6.5, or just accessed differently by the system.

Well Zeyeene claims to be for 2.5. I've got a registry editor on my phone so if anyone knows a registry fix for this then by all means, do tell
Just checking to see if anyone's thought up anything on this yet.
I like Windows Mobile, and I like TouchFlo3D. However, I do not like that fact that the built in HTC SMS is slow as dirt. Any time I try and message someone with the HTC sms it makes my phone crawl. When I use the WM version it works much faster and I like the way it looks more. Does anyone know of a ROM that fixes this?
So apparently I've been wrong with my terminology here. I believe what I should be describing is to over ride the manilla sms application with the HTC one... But perhaps someone more knowledgeable can help me out with the terms.
anyone figure this out for wm 6.5? the modified 47dd6acd_manila worked on 6.1 but it does nothing on 6.5.. seems htc changed the filename.
i hate this laggy htc sense sms..
Bump this... please someone.
with sense 2.5...
the messager is actually HTC Message Client.
an overlay of HTC Message.
i am not sure of a cab that disables it.
but i know there are custom roms that do not include it.
those roms have the same messenger as sense 2.1 roms.
hope that helps. somehow.
in the quest for a fix.
I am looking for this fix still as well...someone please update if a fix is found. Energy July 1 ROM Does not have HTC Messenger built in...I however find Energy ROMS unreliable--so it wont work for me.
The only thing that works for me is removing text messages from TouchFlo then creating a shortcut to the text app.
Not that it's just slow the send button is in a different location using the Windows or HTC messaging. Sometimes I end up hitting back instead of send because I didn't notice which interface I was in.
bump. what is the text app?

It is just the shortcut in programs for text messages it just takes you to the default WM text messenger program.
Did you try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
It's for the touch HD but tp2's quite similar.
Would love to know how to disable landscape mode in the messaging app I find the flip between modes is way to slow.
I would love a fix for this. I hate HTC Messenger so much, and I don't want to have to flash to a different ROM :/
