[FIXED] My First cab - T-Mobile UK customised threaded SMS

Yes, I've finally gotten around to looking into this whole cab making malarkey and while this is an existing one customised to fit my needs, it's a good learning curve
It's the palm threaded SMS app and it just plain rocks - really
So anyway, I've tested this on WM6 (Black 4) and it really works. Everything is already set up in this for using with T-Mobile and MMS works too! It integrates nicely with the HTC homescreen and includes a custom alert tone (hope you like it! )
Just to make sure the install goes OK, please use the task manager to stop the messaging \ poutlook \ tmail processes before you run the cab as I believe this could cause problems.
You will lose your existing SMS and MMS messages in the standard messaging app so if you want to keep them, use PIMBackup first
It's a fantastic app and I recommend giving it ago and if you're on T-Mob, I've just made it a little easier for you
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Good point! Nice work on the cab Lord but some reassurance would be fantastic

Service provider?
Have installed it and its quality. I can't send mms though. In the settings its set to cingular. I've got the tmob settings bar the centre number any ideas?

screen shot
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/18/treo-750v-threaded-sms-mms-app-hacked-for-all/
looks like that

I'm looking at it now - I did test it on mine first but I think it probably kept the registry settings when I uninstalled it and re-installed it.
As for uninstalling...on my T-Mobile UK MDA Vario II, it uninstalled perfectly and everything reverted to the standard messaging app...BUT, as with anything like this, please don't just take the poster's word for it - use PIMBackup and and back it all up first!! It will most likely work OK, but...sh*t happens ;-)
Smiffy.

Thanks man. Your word is always good enough

OK, there were 2 places in the registry where the MMS settings were stored and I only changed 1 but it's sorted now (tested 3 times ;-)
And no, my word isn't good enough ;-) Back it up!! :-D
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Fixed and fantastic
Think this will quite possibly be the first cab i'll install after future flashes. Intelligent fuctionality.
Cheers Lordsmiff nice work
Forgot to say that when i uninstalled first version my old sms and mms were still there. When i reinstalled the new ones reappeared. Like lordsmiff says back up just in case but it didnt completely remove messages only temporarily when using the app.

You're right, it doesn't remove the old messages, it just uses a different message store but, at the risk of repeating myself ;-) back it up anyway
Which reminds me - if you want to reflash your device and then get all your threaded SMS messages back, you need to backup a file in the Windows folder called "PalmMsgV001" and also a folder in Windows called "MMS"
The file has all the text messages and stuff in and the folder has all the images etc from MMS messages in (I found that out the hard way )
Copy those two to your storage card and then back after a reflash to have everything back in threads
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Moved to rapidshare at mod's request
Anyone have any ideas where better to put it as I know some people (myself included) can't get them during working hours...damn those proxys
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Is it possible to install this threaded sms cab then alter the network settings by installing one of the available operator cabs or does the setting need to be entered manually?
Thanks.

i havent looked at lordsmiff's version... but if its anything like the ones i posted there is a possible issue of mms not working if you enter the settings manually... but his could be different...

There's not much chance of it being too different - it's based on your cab
If you want me to mod it for your provider, I can do that for you
Just PM me the connection details and I'll see what I can do
Cheers,
Smiffy.

i had another thought if you wanted to run with the idea.. i go back to work today so my time is going to be limited again.
The original version where based on the sprint connections, when i extracted all the files from the cingular treo rom and dumped the registry i compared them, i noticed all the reg settings were pretty much the same except for 2 lines and of course all the provider settings. But im thinking that if we left out the hard coded provider settings and allow the user to enter them manually that this may stop the "sometimes" apparent connection issues with MMS. So basically have a generic threaded cab with no provider settings hard coded at all... and if someone wanted to feel ambitious enough they could make cabs with just the hard coded reg settings for different providers (not the whole app)..

Hi!
Sounds great! Can it also be used for a other provider ? If yes; how do I know my settings ?
Does it show a alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

I really love this app and would like to go back to it. MMS has always worked for me when using shogunmarks version but I think its limited to 300k.
Since your offering lord would you make one for AT&T?
I linked the settings I would have just posted them here but didn't want to miss something so I linked the main page for you.

thanks

One thing everyone should know when using this app is if you use any kind of app that closes programs like HTC Task Manager for example you need to add the Palm Threaded app to the exclusive list so it does NOT close when pressing x.
What happens a lot of times is most people write their txt msg and just click the x but with the threaded you have to wait until the msg is actually sent.
So the app should be running most of the time..

Hi,
What about the new sms notify; does it show an alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

Calendar cab

guys can someone help with a link for WM calendar?
after installing 2.1 touch i had an issue with the left soft key in an appointment saying reply instead of edit. ive reflashed original wm5 rom and then vanmilla and same problem - now the calendar itself is playing up with things missing like letters (no am/pm just a & p) it only shows 5 hours in the working day
im just wondering if another calendar will help
thanks

guys can someone please help with this
for time, there is not pm or am on call register etc etc as well, just seems a bit strange, i re-flashed, hard reset, soft reset dunno what he problem is

the stuff you said, should be able to be fixed by settings (i.e. Flashing not required). the am/pm issue, I think it is in the regional settings. And the 5 hours working one, I think can be set in.. the Calender itself.

i tried all this, no joy, as soon as i add another rom, it all changes, but still doesnt explain why it says reply in the left soft of a calendar entry???

do you have a screendump?

ive just flashed wm5 and the calendar is fine, reflashed 2.1 touc and then the same process with vanilla and again the soft key says reply??? it didnt with wm5???

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but from the looks of it, it is a WM6 and WM5 difference, nothing much you can do about it.

I think he's trying to say the the right softkey in the Calendar program is set to "Reply" instead of "Menu". Basically, he can't get to the menu now. Can that be fixed with the softkey program in settings? (I haven't explored this application fully, yet) But that doesn't sound right. I don't know how you would correct the way softkeys change within programs - just the home screen.
He may want to try to turn off his firewall and download it again. Then reflash just to make sure.

Thats the way wm6 works
edit is in menu\edit different to wm5.

ahh ok, so its just set like that?
your both right - menu is on the right soft key and edit is in there
i just thought it may be a problem with my rom or phone as the left soft key says reply and its not clickable. its not a big deal im not that fussy and love the software - setlled with touch 2.1 in the end. only reason i was panicking s i thought it maybe a bug or somehting and ruin my phone
thanks so much guys

Few unfixed problems in the kitchen

Ok, I decided to write new thread because most of the rom makers I pm to didn't answer me at all. Some kind of secrets or whatever. I think we should help each other to improve our ROM's but maybe I'm wrong.
I have some issues in my owe ROM which I can't really fix. Maybe someone will know the solution
1. Some ROM makers wrote in their changelogs that now CommMgr is really closing without being on the process list all the time? How?
2. I'm using EZinput keyboard 2.0.33633 full qwerty and two keyboards should be available: full qwerty and phone keyboard. Only the first one is present in the system (the second one now is standard MS keyboard instead of phone keyboard 2.0 EZinput). Why? I changed the EXT package many times to make sure it's ok and all the time the same issue...
3. Is there a working method to change system rings to wav? Every time I do it then they doesn't work. Do I have to change also some registry value?
4. Windows Media Player dosen't play any videos. I changed mHub and mHubVO into some other versions but still no efect. What else could be the reason?
That's all what I'd love to know to make my ROM better
Thanks in advice!

Ok, I see that non of the grate, admired here rom makers are going to help me. Sweet. Anyway... I made a little step ahead with problem no2.
I know how to manually switch between those keyboards using registry entries [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip]
CurrentSIP set to a00 is Phone Keypad and d00 for fullQWERTY. But still it's impossible to change it in menu (WM6.5 21725)
That's all I want to share with, maybe it will help someone. Should I expect some respond? I don't think so :]

Dude, about the comm manager, I don't know which version of comm manager are u using. But I got my comm manager working good n closing when clicked on x button. All I can say is don't use any new version like 2.8 or topaz comm manager. Use the 2.7.1.4 version. It's OG diamond comm manager n works nice. I'm using the same version.

Thanks buddy Actually I'm using 2.8.1. I will switch to 2.7.1.4 as u said.
The keyboard is still my biggest problem. I wonder what's wrong that I cannot switch between Full qwerty and phone keypad in the sip menu bar.

Did u try the GEN Y sip menu..??
I heard someone there saying that if we have the touchflo installed, then only we can change between the phone pad n qwerty board. But touchflo brings some more diff probs elsewhere.
Surprising issue this.. Coz it works perfectly fine with ezinput 1.

My touchflo is completly deleted. All registry entries and app. because in WM6.5 it's totally useless.'
Yes, it is surprising. I checked registry entries and everything seems to be fine... but it's not

i dont know..check gen y thread..u will definitely get moe help there. its surely been talked about in that thread.

I think I know the answer. Ability to change between keyboards wouldn't work on wm6.5 without HTC menuenhancement.

nope its not only that, u definitly need the touchflo package, but that package conlicts with wm 6.5
the only thing we can do is wait for HTC to bring out its first WM 6.5 rom for diamond2, then we can take the new touchflo or ezinput package from that rom

Ok, it's me again
And again some damn issues in my kitchen
For last two days I was looking for the source of why my Face down mute ring stopped working. In registry everything is fine. Exept of registry, is there any dll library or something responsible for that? Also when I'm in windows file explorere and want to copy the file from IS to main memory (I do tap on "Copy")and then tap on the menu to choose the location then it crashed.
Any ideas for soulution those two problems?
PS. One more thing I forgot... I used to have my clock and calendar to set up automaticly the date and time after HR but now it seems to be gone... Is it up to network type currently using? GPRS/3G? Or maybe some registry value?

Thanks dude but it doesn't work. I was trying with both, 0 and 1 to make sure but still no effect. Friend of mine checked some others 6.5 ROM's and it seems that it doesn't work in any of them.

I found out that automatic time and date set works only if 3G/SHDPA network is available. So this question is out of date.
If anyone find the solution with face down mute ring then please let me know.
Another issue that I was hoping to solve is contact list popping up every time after SR. So in titanium softkeys registry I changed SK1URL into HTCActionScreen. And now... HTCActionScreen popping up every time after SR. Any solution for that?

Enable HTC application launcher

Hi all!
I've installed a new skin to my TP2 (that was a big fault) everything was going wrong..
All buttons are completley white, horrible loading animation, etc, etc.
Now I have restored nearly everything. The only problem is that my startmenu is now as the old windows mobile drop-down menu. I want to have my HTC application launcher back. I think that it is a simple register setting...
I've searched here but cannot found a solution.
Can anybody help me with this problem/setting?
Thanks is advance and sorry for my poor English!

Check out the sticky. The registry edit is there.

Good idea, but everything else is working right now, and i was hoping to wait until the wm6.5 version is ut (official) so I can use the installation time for that moment...
Can you help me with a register file from the malia settings? (or do you have other good idea's?
I think that the problem is simple --> I've installed a verry ugly skin. I was trying to remove it but Wimo give me everytime a error (failed to remove....)
So I've uninstalled it with SkTools, but I think that it has not restored the previous settings, but that it hase removed all the register values from the skin file...
Thanks again for all helping people!

Personal: This was the problematic skin... ==> [THEME]*Sergio76* [Dark&Light V3.5 Final Uploaded] Full Theme 26/09/09

there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:
HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu
"EnableManilaStartMenu"
Change 0 to 1.
Hope that works. this is how I changed my quick programs to drop down menu (I prefer the drop down menu better).

Thanks for the replay,
I have searched for that register value, but cannot find it.
So I have restored some parts of the register (after a backup) in the HCT/Malia map and the HTC EnlargeMenu (In local machine and Current user). but still not working. it is already a '1' in there.
So my (simple?) conclusion is that there is a deeper problem.
Still missing other register values, or missing files that have to be somewhere to run that program menu...
Anybody else a good idea?
Thanks for al your good idea's and help!
I'm using the device at my work (medical information/patiënt information) so it's nice if I could save the installation and wait until the 6.5 update will come out!

Update: Just did a hard reset to my device. Hoping that that will help fixing the problem. the device was after al these problem verry slow too...

hehe. I've hard reseted my phone at least 10 times since the last week I've had this phone. it's the only way to test out apps to find the right one that works for you. I do installs and uninstalls. eventually I will find an app that [email protected]#$ up my phone, or that works really well. this will be an on going process for at least 3 months until I find what to settle with. It was like that with my Mogul, and it will be like that even more so with the TP2 because it's such an awesome upgrade.

can't get sound on new sms

hi there
when i get i new sms the the notice sound didn't work.i get sms with no sound at all even when i define it in setting.i flashed xanny 1.9 rom.it's the same problem on the earlier roms
thank you

+1 ... I have the ame problem :s

Have you installed a new dialer or taskbar? these can play havoc with the sound files. If so, try uninstalling to see if this resolves the problem.

No new taskbar and no new dialer ... juste few programs :
Max Manilla v2.82, G-Alarm, Spb BackUp, Tomtom and CorePlayer

I usually have the same problem after installing an additional Language interface in a new ROM.
My solution (95%) is to install "SmileySMS "
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/07/22/smileysms-v166-add-smileys-in-sms-for-windows-mobile.html
Don't forget to make it the default SMS tune and then do a SR
Good Luck & enjoy!

Hello,
thanks for the information. I tried to install it. It seems to work fine for the sound, but there is an enormous vibration... So I tried to configure SMSSmiley. I installed the 1.66, 1.68 and each time, I had a problem, I can't save the configuration under WinMo 6.5.3, there is no way to validate.

I edit a key in the registry for suppress vibration
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Roozbeh GHolizadeh Softwares\SmileySMS:Vibrate
value set to 0
It's OK now ... thanks a lot

I got the same problem, driving the blackdragon 1.9, weird. And yes of course I have checked the boxes in sound and notifications.
Edit: So I've read that the issue appears when one uses the manilla language manager (which I did), however no fix has been reported yet.

The method describe there is working on my HD ... and I confirm that I used MLM ...
