any cab for txt message contact to guess names? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

hey there,
i just recently update my att tilt to a new rom that was generously created by someone here. what i notice is the text messaging function lost one thing that i would like back. on the old default rom, if i was to start typing in the name of the person i am trying to send a message, the contact would list a few ppl that would be my possible choice. as of right now i have to go to menu and add reciept and i think that just takes to long. any cabs out there to fix this?
thanks in advance

try this
i had that same problem, but i found out that if i type the name and just hit space, it will show up at the bottom and you can select from a single-line menu and use the left and right d-pad buttons to select your contact without going through the hassle of adding a recipient and all that...
hopefully that helps?

wow that did the trick!

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:

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?

Contacts when sending text messages

Hi, I've searched around on here and can't seem to find an answer to this one!
When I send a text message I have to actually click on the "To:" box and scroll through my contacts!
When I had my hermes I just typed the name of the contact into the box and the matching names were listed below the "To:" box. Like the smart dialing does.
Is there a way to enable this on the diamond? It's really annoying to have to go into cantacts all the time!
Which ROM are you using? This feature DOES exist in every Diamond ROM as far as I know. You start keying in the first 1-2 letters of the first or last name and you get a popup which you can scroll through.
Oh no! It must just be me then!
Err. I'll try a hard reset and see if that resolves it?
Maybe it's just got screwed up somehow. I thought it seemed like a strange thing to leave out!
Will be back if that hard reset doesn't sort it out.
1.37.405.1 Orange ROM btw
Try a soft reset first mate.
This isn't usually Hard Reset material because it is a core feature of the Diamond
Are you using the default ms keyboard by any chance? If so, then run a 'disable t9.cab' or something similar name (sorry, I forgot) from Dutty, it will enable the showing up of the contacts when typing first characters
And if that fails you could select your contact first and click send sms.

Quick access to SMS?

Hi!
I'm quite desperate. I'd like to start SMS on my Kaiser with one or two clicks. So please recommend me how to make my SMS box the default message box (I'm not using MMS, who does anyway... I mean SMS are so much more popular) and/or direct "Compose a new SMS" or so. I also use HTC Home. Ideally I'd like to add a button in HTC Home which would directly open a new SMS (not MMS).
And yes, I did use Google "site:forum.xda-developers.com Kaiser SMS" + various combinations of words "default", "folder", "quick", "fast", "button", "MMS"...
I also tried several registry and other things tweakers.
Thanks
Btw, if you could recommend an application for quick taking notes, something like primitive drawing or so... PhatPad maybe?
um htc home (with the big clock) has it with one click..
I don't really understand your request, but this might be what your after? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
EDIT:
Also,
When viewing your SMS's do: Menu, Tools, Options and Untick "Display account picker when opening Messaging".

Try installing HTC action screen. It will map the left softkey to be able to create new mms/sms/email/apointment/contact, all with one click of the button. That might be what you're looking for.
Hi,
I am also quite desperate for this. I will try to explain what is that we are after.
When composing a new SMS message we need to follow the following steps.
1. Go to Messaging Application
2. Select SMS \ MMS
3. Click on Menu
4. Click on New
5. Now we need to select SMS from the list that shows MMS / SMS / Voicemail.
Now here is the problem, we would like to have SMS as the first option if possible (It helps save the click I need to do, if I am using the D-Pad), Alternatively, a direct link to just start composing a new SMS message directly without going through multiple menus.
Thanks

Hi,
I missed the link of my previous post (#3). Sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
The link was to a CAB to create a "New SMS" link on the left or Right soft key.

wow, from the main screen I tap 4 times with my finger and I'm good to go. That really isn't that much work.

Well, I click on the the envelope icon (1), then I have to click on "Menu" (2), "Go To" (3), "Text meddages" (4), "Menu" (5), "New" (6). This makes SIX clicks.
for me,
Envelope, menu, new, and sms..
Done.
After clicking the envelope, if it opens to email press the 5 way to the right and it will bring up SMS.

multi sms massage

Hi all,
anyone know how to send multi sms massages?
i mean send a massage to couple of contacts at the same time.
is there a build option?
If using the default messaging app, rather than typing a name in the To: field, press menu, then people you'll see all your contacts and you can put a tick by all the ones you want included, hit OK and you should be ready to go.
Florida
oh ok.. i found it
thanks alot.
After you type a name in the To field you can also just type another name.
