Is it possible to modify the alert sounds of a new sms, what file type does it use and how do I change it? I am also interested in knowing if there are any third party sms apps that anybody uses? The default one is ok but I want something that can be controlled by finger, big icons, mobile phone style input...
I also want a free regedit so I can im,plemnt some of the tweaks in the wiki, any suggestions?
Sorry if they're daft questions but I only had the xda iis 3 days now and I'm still learning.
To modify the alerts of new SMS you need to go to:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Messaging Events.
Must be WAV format and be placed on the \Windows Directory.
For alternate applications, you could search in http://www.freewareppc.com/ and http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/
phoneAlarm is best

Hi there,
Is there a program that I can use to manage all my sounds and notifications? The one that comes with Windows Mobile in the settings section needs sounds in a specific directory and sometimes doesn't even pick it up.
ie. sounds for ringtone, SMS recieved/sent, active sync connect / disconnected
Thanks in advance!
PhoneAlarm is a very good one.
Possibly the best.
any one know how to make the delivery reports a permanent thing in stead of manually ticking the box every time i send an sms?
many thanks in advance
Sure -
(deep breath...)
Start > Programs > Messaging > Menu > Tools > Options > SMS/MMS > Request delivery notifications

i get as far as programs then there is no messaging in there unless im not seeing something on my htc
just use one of the advance configuration utilities found on this forum. you'll find the option you are looking for there
Like me, you don't have the messaging shortcut in programs... not to worry.
On the home screen, tap the Messages icon, then tap 'All Messages'. Here, you can pick up the route described by MJNewton above, by going 'Menu', then 'Tools', then 'Options', and finally tapping the SMS\MMS account, where you'll get the tick box you require.
many thanks for your replies found the option now

If it's not in the programs menu, then it's in the start menu. On windows mobile devices, a program cannot be in both places at once, unless you create a duplicate icon yourself.
Has someone figured out a way to create custom folders for sms storage alongside the normal Inbox, Drafts, Sent items etc?

sorry for offtopic, but isn't that Silent Bob?
I could not find a way of doing this in the standard software. I also have WebIS Flexmail 4 installed which can also access the SMS folders. I created the folder using that. It then appears in the MS messaging software.
Thanks. Standard software via 'manage folders' doesn't work.
I downloaded Flexmail, but somehow it failed installing on my Kaiser. :-(
Hi there
The open sms inbox > menu > tools > manage folders etc. method worked fine on WM6.0, but not with threaded messaging on WM6.1 - so, use KaiserTweak (or whatever your favourite software is) to disable threaded messaging, create your subfolders and then re-enable threaded messaging...
Worked for me!!
Thanks - that worked. In threaded messaging the "Manage folders" option is greyed out, but in normal view it's available.

I did that and I got the folder created, but when I switch back to threaded sms i can't move messages to the folder, the move option is greyed out.
It is very disturbing to be waked up at midnight by the phone alarm, which anounce you that tomorrow is the birthday of one of your contacts
Is it possible to cancel this alarm? I would like to have only the visual anouncement of the events, without sounds. I have to mention that I use the SPB Mobile Shell application.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Should be under Setting - > Sound Notification - > Reminder. You can select what you want there.
I don't know if SPB changes that or overrides that. You might need to go to the website to find out.
Have you tried the 'Help' on your Phone? It also should be there ..
I've read numerous posts about how to change the default SMS/TEXT program via registry edit.
At this location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINBOX
and point that data to your texting program (instead of default value of tmail.exe).
(I've also searched the entire registry for any other links to tmail.exe).
However, this doesn't change what CHome/Titanium uses as its text program. And I've looked in the registries for CHome and could not find anywhere how it calls the texting program. I've also read the other post about NeoTitanium (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502504) and used the same keys and did not find anything for changing the texting/messaging program for CHome. Any help? Thanks.
So basically, I'm using VITO SMS and I changed the default texting program to that, and yes without CHome it would work fine, but the problem is CHome's texting tab points to tmail.exe regardless of what I set the default program to, and I can't find how to change that.
That would most likely require making a custom plugin like HTCSMSMMS from the smart phone. The built in messaging plugins (CHome/CText/CMessage/ETC) use cmhome.dll to get that data. It's control by the GUID that way.
