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

HTC Random Access on text messages contacts

Hi All,
I've installed HTC Random Access and it does replace WM6 contact manager for the phone application (and soft-key on Today screen). How can I force it to replace the "contact manager" when sending Text / E-mail messages? It still uses the WM std. one, which has the top row with A-Z instead of the right column?
Thanks!

did you make the registry change that makes radomaccess become the default contact manager, or did you just install the RA cab file?

Registry keys...

I just installed the CAB. Couldn't find the registry changes necessary. Searched the forum with google, but only could find the registry keys needed after failed uninstall... Can you (re?)-post the keys needed? Point me to the right place please??
Thanks!

Hi:
I'd love to get random access working in sms contacts also.
I made the following reg edit after installing random access, and mine does not work in sms contacts either. Am I missing another edit which needs to be made?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
1="\Windows\RandomAccess.exe"
Thanks!

Works on phone, not on SMS
Still, after trying all registry keys I could find, none would make poutlook and tmail use the "default" contact manager (RandomAccess). I had the 1 = RandomAccess after installing the cab and it works both on Today and Phone, but not from tmail/poutlook... Maybe they runs it's own contact manager and doesn't even look for the system standard??

yep, I just tested it too, when adding a contact to a sms/mms/email it uses a bulit-in call to the contact database and doesn't use the default contact app to display it. I've seen other apps do the same thing, they just make use of the contactDB.

Autocomplete Contacts During Sms

Hello here,
I have lost Autocomplete of Contacts when writing a name in the To: Field of an Sms message.
I have Fun Contact installed, which gives the contacts an iPhone type look, since then it's been playing up. I have since uninstalled this, but it still doesn't provide suggestions of names in my contacts list, when I begin to type a name in the To field.
It's very annoying and one of my favourite features of using Sms on Windows Mobile.
Any Suggestions would be really appreciated.
Regards.
Y.

Does other predictive input work fine with your default keyboard? One more thing, when you try entering a contact name, the predictive function searches only for the contacts with numbers entered in the "mobile number" field. Check if your contact has the number there.
Regards,
Carty..

I lost that feature when I installed touch keyboard + keypad from dutty's collection
but after uninstalling them its fine now

Hey Carty,
Thanks, that's something I hadn't checked. My other predictive imput isn't working either. I have an idea why it might be. I downloaded KaiserTweak and, changed quiet a few things with it.
I set the Autocomplete to suggest me 6 words and this option is not available from the Drop down menu in the settings menu Of WordComplete.
It is not working anymore even though I have set them both to 3 words and after entering 3 letters. I have since Soft reset the device? Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Found the Answer
As I was saying I had made some changes with the KaiserTeaks app.
One of the changes I had made was to Enable XT9 under the Text Message options.
I realised this just now as I was going through the options and have set it to disable XT9, which is the default and this has fixed the problem
Hope this helps someone out there.

thanks y0u5uf,
will try it out seems like your suggestion is the easiest way out since i installed app like kaiser tweak, touch keyboard+keypad

is there any way that i can erase the words that i have wrote in my predictive text, are they stored somewhere where i can just go into and delete them, i want to start all over??

nvm i got it lol sorry

SMS Input
I have a similar issue. When I enter a character in the "to" field I dont get a list of choices to pick from. BUT, if I hit backspace and erased a character the names and/or numbers pop up.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?

Non-standard SIPs vs SMS contact name

Please would somebody confirm the following experience:
Only the 3 diamond SIPs (PhoneKeypad, CompactQWERTY, FullQWERTY) work when creating a new SMS. The other standard WM SIPs (keyboard, transcriber, BlockRecogniser) and any new SIPs (TouchPal) struggle as follows:
When entering a recipient name, the contacts list does not find matches, and rather one has to use "Check Names" from the menu before sending.
Have I screwed something up, or is this evident for everyone? This was definitely NOT a problem on WM6.1 Touch, so I think it's linked to the Diamond's HTC thumbable menus (SIP selector).

edit: i am not gettin contacts in touchpal either
also via touchdiamond's normal sip i can get contacts flawlessly

note5 n920v predictive text dictionary

My predictive text is on. But my stock keyboard is not remembering my custom words or email address. If I switch to google keyboard it will work fine. Is anybody else experiencing this problem or know how to solve my problem.

I think I found my answer. I take no credit for this I copied and pasted from android central
1. go to settings, More>Application Manager>(Tab) All> selected Messages> and cleared the data by clicking on Clear Data,
2. Clicked on "More" button, (left touch key beside Home Button") and selected Clear App Preferences.
3. asked me to restart the phone, by shutting down and Removing the battery.
4. restarted, tested, worked.
Settings>application Manager>all (Tab) select Samsung Keyboard> clear Data, I think its working for me as of now.
