Delete Soft Key in SMS

I used to own one of the Cingular 8125's and when i was in the SMS program the left soft key would open a new message window, on the tilt is the delete key, is there any way to change this cause its really kinda annoying.
pls dont doublepost
ive searched for it and theres no post on how to get the send key in outlook only on that today screen, which is not what im looking for
i was referring to doubleposting because you posted this message twice on the forum (probably by accident)

How to Easily Create a new text message?

I don't know if this irritates anyone else but I have to click on Menu > New > text message to start a new text message. This is rather annoying when trying to quickly send a message. On my old Cingular 8125 (WM5) the left soft key said "new" and led me straight to a new text message, though on my tilt the left soft key says "delete" which sometimes leads me to accidentally delete messages. Anyone know how to change the left soft key's function only in the messaging screen?
And on a side note, I have seen a bunch of posts about putting different ROMs on these phones. Could anyone tell me a few benefits for doing that? And does the process wipe all of your settings and data? (I use MS Exchange and T-mobile settings = pain to reconfigure)
many of the other roms out there are more stable and faster and come with different programs and settings changed
yes you will lose all the data on the phone, but not the memory card
I usually Dial in the name of the recipient of the text message using the "SmartDialer" then "LongPress" the name to take me to the context menu and finally select "Send Text Message"
i use schap's advanced configuration tool, and that can change the left/right softkeys.
(and also some other nice things)
or softkey applet.
happy new year!
I use a combination of the HTC Action app from the Touch (Dual?) assigned to the left soft key using Schap's Advanced Config so two presses gets me to either new email, new SMS, new MMS, new Appointment, New Contact, new Task or new Note.
You can use actionscreen and or pocketcm
I have them both especially pocketcm is an incredible piece of software

typeing in contacts in sms

so with my 8125 when sending a text message, i was able to type the first few letters of a contacts name in to the recipient line and it would show me possible matches, how can i get this for the tilt?
Very true, it's quite annoying. Pressing Check Names works in the same way, but it's an extra step for no reason.
I've been using Finger Friendly Friends as a way of avoiding this, but you have to pay for it. I'd be interested in a reg hack.
My Tilt just does it. I use the Palm Threaded so I dont know if that helps or not.
by defaut, it should coms automatically...
check if u just installed kaiser tweak..it is known bugs and could be resolved by Disable D-Pad Scroll Navigation for PocketIE
hope this would help

Change 'Delete' to 'New' in messaging

Hi, is there any way to change the left soft key in the messaging app from 'Delete' to 'New', like in WM5? I keep deleting messages by mistake.
Many thanks.

Go to Tools / Options / Message and tick in "Warn when deleting messages in the message list".
Also, make sure you rea all my articles - I think I've also mentioned this in the Mailer Bible.
Thanks for the reply.
However, your solution doesn't remap the soft key. Maybe I wasn't clear. I want to change the soft key from 'Delete' to 'New', as in WM5.
Thanks.

I don't know of any hack to do the trick. (The switch was a deliberate and, IMHO, very nice change between WM5 and WM6. I really welcome it as I need to use deletion to get rid of spam than create new mail or SMS.)
BTW, if you do tick in the checkbox, you won't be able to delete anything by mistake as you'll be shown a Yes/No dialog every time you (accidentally) press the left softkey.
but i was very used to the old way. and i don't delete mails on my device, since they get lost after a while anyway, so it should have been an option instead of getting forced to.
Yeah, i'd also like to do this, i pretty much never delete things, and wouldn't mind having to go into a menu to do it, but obviously i create new messages all the time. I'd also like it to technically be a "new SMS" button, since i rarely send picture messages, but since SMS and MMS are combined in WM6, it would have to specify...

Also wanting this, but all i can find on google & xda-dev is the same answers, you can easily map a today softkey to create a new message/e-mail/pop e-mail or even give you a "new" drop-down list. But changing the one in messaging.....cant fine any answers
I've settled for this:

Just assigned my PTT button (short press) to start a new blank txt msg

Assign RETURN key to send SMS in WM6.1?

Hello I just upgrade my Tilt to WM6.1 and I'm loving the threaded SMS..the only thing that's annoying is that I have to press the send button every time to send each sms msg..I was wondering if there is a tweak to change that key to the ReTurn key instead.
