WM6 Default Messaging Path?

I've looked and looked, and searched...I guess I'm missing it. Does anyone knoe the default path for the Messaging "app" in wm6 for my launcher? I'd like to be brought to the screen where I can choose the account to send from. Thanks in Advance!

*bump* - Anyone?

If I'm posting a dumb question that's answered elsewhere just let me know that...

*oops...double post...*

FWIW, you SHOULD be able to use the topmost left button (with the envelope on it) to access the screen you're describing in one easy step. You should also be able to find it in the Start Menu, listed as Messaging.
Shortcuts in my version (Custel 2.5) show the executable as MSINBOX, but that's not an application name ... just a system label, of sorts. Maybe somebody else can id the actual file for you.
-pvs

im confused by what your asking - you want it to, when you open Messaging, to give you the choice of which account?
Menu > Tools > Options > CHECK: Display account picker when opening messaging
and once youve opened it, hit the left and right, or keep tapping messaging to cycle through accounts - and the account is displayed in the top left taskbar
if thats not what you were asking, elaborate on what youre looking for and ill give my inputt

Not sure about the account selection screen, but for exec and command line options: \windows\tmail.exe -service, -cc, -bcc, -transport, -to, -subject, -body, -attach
eg. "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -subject "" -body ""

If you just open messages, it will open the account selector. SO just find the shortcut for that (which is in Windows and the exe is tmail.exe) then it should go there. Good luck!

\windows\tmail.exe for the win!!! Thanks everyone Guess I should have explained I was looking for the executable name as opposed to the path...
thx again!

Change font size for messaging?

Specifically, the email and SMS inbox?
Its huge, and a smaller font size would allow more of the header to display....
There's a reg entry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox that looks like the right thing and place, but it doesn't change anything when altered.

I know this would work at least for email (haven't checked with SMS).
The quickest way to change font size is:
On your TF3D slider go to Mail view>
If you already have an email envelope on the screen, just Click to open it
(if not, Click any email account icon & open an email) you should be reading the email now>
Click Menu (bottom right of screen)>
At the bottom of the pop-up menu, click the 'down' arrow to get more features>
Click View> Click Text Size>
Adjust to whatever size is comfortable for your eyes/screen.
Choice is Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller & Smallest.
I noticed that changing the size in one email account makes it change the font size
across all email accounts so one does not need to repeat the steps for each
individual email id on the phone.
HTH.

That changes the text, but not the header/top level display. I'm trying to change the latter.... without success....

I haven't seen any way of achieving that for headers only- on my TP2, or for that matter,
any default email application on a phone yet, if I remember correctly.

I'm guessing I must be misunderstanding your question, as the answer "Settings => Screen => Text size" seem to obvious?

Not as obvious as you might have thought! I put it down to being tired, but I was searching for a "display" setting. "Screen" just didn't jump out at me!
I don't know about Genesis3, but this was exactly what I needed!
Thanks,
Ed

[Q] Customize quick-keys

Not sure about a string. There's already a '.com' button on the hard keyboard. I'm sure you could edit that button to input '.com.br' instead if you always use that.
As far as "gmail.com". why are you going to the website? Just have the quick launch go to the gmail app, 1000x better. But for some reason if you want to go to the website, you can make a bookmark for gmail.com, then set that quick-key to launch the bookmark.

I like to keep that .com button, and use ".com.br" to other Brazilian sites.
"gmail.com" is only a example, in fact, I want to use my login that is "[email protected]" to use as a shortcut.

[Q] How do you format a SMS?

Guys
Quite daft question really, but I do not see a way for me to enter a carriage return (enter character) in order to format a SMS message? All the message text goes on the same line.

Have we all stopped using SMS to send messages?? Anyone?

Kik FTW.
But yeah, it seems as though there's no option to substitute the smiley key for the return key on the default keyboard... one hideous workaround would be to compose in Gmail, then copy and paste into Messaging.
You could install another keyboard...but that's sort of ridiculous.

If you push the space bar enough times and then type something it will start on the next line

Good that you confirmed that.. I was going mad trying to search for a way to format a simple message. The OS is two steps forward and one step backwards in some areas really...
Yep, another keyboard stands as a possible solution, but I wonder why Google missed such an obvious option..
Thanks!

It also wastes that many of your 140 characters, and will not necessarily wrap to the same location on the receiving device. Not a realistic solution in this case. It's similar to people centering text in documents by adding spaces to the front of the text instead of just hitting "Align Center".

Yeah, it is unusual. It would be an incredibly simple fix if I had the messaging app source code, though. I imagine the text field is just set to a certain type of input, much like the 10-digit keyboard that comes up in certain contextual fields. Is the messaging app part of AOSP? I think it is. I should play around with that... *makes a mental note*

I would have imagined that the carriage return would appear as an option directly or in one of the contextual options. Looking at some of the characters included, I find it hillarious that they have included characters like copyright, pi, carat, etc....Who uses these in SMS's? scientists?

I know its old, but...
... 've been wondering how to put LF in SMS messages.
See the attached LatinIME, it has two smilies changed and an Enter button on the dot extra characters button.

Tips for using 4.2 keybaord (like swearing)

One of the things that drove me crazy with the new gesture keyboard was it's inability to allow me to use curse words...
Settings ---> Language & input ---> Personal dictionary
Touch the + symbol at the top right.
Add whatever words you want and it'll start showing up in your gestures! Another fun trick is adding a word like "email" and giving it the shortcut to your actual email. When you type in email you'll also have the option to select your actual email address in the suggestion bar. This also helps with curse words that'll default over normal words... Add the regular word and shortcut the curse word so that you can quickly use it in the suggestion bar.

Thanks, now I can swear like a proper pirate again. Arrr!

Does anyone know how to do a quick delete using the stock keyboard? for example if I entered the wrong word i can't just press backspace once to delete the word like i can in swype.

Stock keyboard does the same for me with the backspace key. otherwise double tap and backspace?

Oh right this works. My biggest gripe with the keyboard is that it is not possible to correct a word in the middle of a sentence. For example, if i want to change a word in the middle of a sentence, I can't double click the word and see possible variations of the word. I have to select the word and retype it entirely.

How do you access all the emojis. There are only keywords for a handful of them but there are many more emojis compatible with android.
