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.

WinMo 6.1 HTC Smart Dialer Help

Need some help or advise on a missing feature on 6.1 standard smart dialer that existed on 6.0.
On 6.0 once you search for a contact using the smart dialer if you press down the on the d-pad it will not dial the contact but will open up the contact so you can email or txt pretty quickly. That was way faster than opening up contacts and searching for someone. If you wanted to call just had to press the SEND button.
But on 6.1 when you press the d-pad down it simply dials and the only way to txt is to touch and hold on the search result and even then it will only allow you to text but not email.
I was wondering whether there's a reg hack to get this feature enabled on the new 6.1 smart dialer.

just d-pad down to the contact and d-pad right until u see txt

Thanks for the quick reply but D-Pad left or right will only cycle through the numbers nothing else

hmm are u sure...i'm not doubting just tryin to help
but for me lets say i have a mobile and home number for a contact i just highlight it and on the right it shows m for mobile..i d-pad right to h for home and again to txt if i wanna text the contact

I know you are and thank you
I am quite confused now because I had the same feature (D-Pad right to text and hold down to open contact) on 6.0 are you also using 6.1 and the same dialer build?

i'm using winmo 6.1 i'm trying to find out what build i'm using

Same problem here. With WM6.0 you only have to press the d-pad to open the contact. Once you opened, i got the chance to send sms, send e-mail or make a call. With WM6.1 this ist missing! I think this is probably only a value i have to change in the registry, but where?

If you use the original WM6.1 dialer instead of the Touch dialer it will do exactly what you are looking for.
For some reason when I press the down on my d-pad with the Touch dialer it opens up the last call list, and does not scroll through the contacts list.
I see your in CA so video dial is not really a possibility anyways. If you have KaiserTweak or Shap's Advance Config, set your dialer skin to the WM6.1 dialer instead and see if this fixes your problem.

I flashed the original HTC WM6.1 Rom, and yes, the original WM6.1 Dialer works how i want. But this doesn't look really great, does it?

I am now using DxC dialer with smart dial patch and is working great. Only thing missing is the smart dial in landscape mode. This one is way faster but still miss the HTC dialer :-(

It is only a little vaue in the registry, can't nobody help?

Nobody out there who can solve this problem ?
Perhaps somebody can upload the smart dialer exe file from the oroginal WM6.0 Rom? I would be glad, thx !!

Can please, somebody with WM6.0, look up in his registry an tell me the value's for Smart Dialer ? So i can compare the two version with each other. THX

Push,
something new?

Voice Command option not available

I have done a fair amount of searching, cannot find an answer.
I have an ATT 8925, stock ROM (6.1) only add on is Tweak.
I go to remap a button for voice command and when I go to assign a program, voice command is not there (as many posts indicate it should be). What am I missing here.
I do have Voice Command under Settings and have enabled it for Phone and Contacts; what I would like is to be able to voice command the phone to dial contacts.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

CHome / Titanium, Can't REMAP Text Message TAB?

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.

ROM FULLY without HTC messaging

Lo all, I know you'll probably say 'use the search function' but I have and can;t find and full answer.
Question:
Is there a way to fully disable HTC messaging and not just so you can press the all messages buttonand see windows messaging program.
So if you are on Sense Messaging tab and you recieve a message from someone, you can click on it and it will take you to WM threaded messages for that person?
Hope someone can clear this up, I'm so confused with what these 'disable HTC messaging' actually do and how much they actually disable.

I advise you XannyTech roms without HTCMessaging
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565290

But these still have HTC messaging when you click on the SMS. I have been using Xanny's ROMS.
The only WM messaging they have is when you click on 'all messages' button.

He says he have 4 Versions:
With HTC Messaging
Without HTC Messaging
With HTC MESSAGING + MSVC
Without HTC Messaging + MSVC

I suggest to check or learn before you write things which are not true.
Without HTC Messaging means, that default SMS program is not HTC Messaging. However this program is called by other Manila's features. For example contacts from Call History. Once run, you can have possibility to switch into SMS of the person etc etc.
Note, that WM has build in call history, contact list etc - those features are still not replaced making HTC messaging stil alive.
HOwever, versions 'without HTC messaging' has the same functionality as stand alone mod: replaces all HTC Messaging shortcuts found in system by Mobile Outlook. And yes, it calls MO while hitting SMS from Manila SMS tab.

Well I'm using a without ROM and have on several occasions, they do not call the WM threaded sms from Sense SMS Tab when you click on a message. They still call HTC messaging.
Only when you click on 'All messages' does it launch outlook.
I would like to know if there is a way to call WM Threaded SMS program from HTC SMS Tab when you click on a persons sms.

PS who were you talking to when you said: 'I suggest to check or learn before you write things which are not true.'

1) Uninstall any messaging related cabs (including the Zenyee or Static cabs)
2) Disable Sense
3) Use Total Commander to Delete the "ManilaFull.xml" in the "\Windows" folder
4) Install the attached cab that corresponds to your device (GSM or CDMA)
5) Soft Reset
6) Go to "HKLM\System\Inbox\ExternalAccounts"
Rename "SMS" to "SMS.htc"
7) Soft Reset
8) Install Arcsoft MMS software (go here if you need it)
9) Soft Reset
10) Enable Sense
Please let me know how it works for you guys!
I'd like to give credit to fone_fanatic, dagrim1, and xwpx520 for finding this information

with thinkblu method, there is one and only bug only, it didn't show bubbles showing how many unread message.

Tha main process there seems to be the :
6) Go to "HKLM\System\Inbox\ExternalAccounts"
Rename "SMS" to "SMS.htc"

However I don;t have this registry setting which is why this doesn;t work for me.
