Samsung O2 offer a Email/SMS client (jinbox.exe) like this:
 Screen001.png   59.79K   544 downloads
 Screen002.png   27.08K   301 downloads

but usually, the system still use WM's GUI like this:
 Screen003.png   93.5K   342 downloads
 Screen005.png   30.36K   192 downloads

so... I write a small program to let the system to use Samsung's jinbox.exe if possible.

for SMS only:
If you just need SMS feature for this, and keep the email to WM's style, you need tmailwrap_sms.zip, just install tmailwrap_sms.cab.
 tmailwrap_sms.zip   9.24K   886 downloads

for both Email and SMS:
If you want both email and SMS to use Samsung's program, you need tmailwrap.cab.
but... because this cab will replace the WM's tmail.exe, it can't be installed directly... so you need following step:
1. use Resco File Explorer, copy tmail.exe to \Windows, overwrite the file in ROM.
2. install tmailwrap.cab

the version for JD1 (wm 6.5.3):
 tmailwrap_653.zip   288.88K   777 downloads

PS. this only test at I8000HZHJC2 (it include a tmail.exe from this ROM), I'm not sure it work for others or not.

This didn't make any difference on JC1 ROM when either launching email from Titanium or from Email shortcut on start menu.

yes, from CHome's email shortcut still use tmail.
because it will pass the parameter like 'APICL: xxxxx yyy', I still can't understand this, so just pass it to tmail.exe.

ok, already try this one for 6.5.5 lite. but somehow if i open default wm message, the message will always open the default one, after reset it will call this skin again

I was able to fix this using a couple of registry edits and shortcuts. :-D

could you explain which registry/shortcuts ?  

[dwallersv]

Here's the curious thing: There is no jinbox.exe on the US version (i920) of the O2. Yet, BOTH styles of GUI appear depending on how tmail is invoked.

By this I mean some of the i8000 Samsung-style interfaces; for example, the really nice interface for SMS/MMS will appear if called from SPB Mobile Shell contacts page for a contact to create a new SMS. Call it from the SMS listing (ugly plain WM interface), and you get the ugly plain SMS composition GUI.

The new GUI seems somehow to have been integrated into tmail by Samsung on the i920. I haven't figured out how to invoke it, as there don't seem to be any command-line switches that are being passed. I'm guessing it's a stylesheet or xml file somewhere.

Anyone know how this works? I'd like to call up the Samsung GUIs as much as possible...

THANK YOU
this is what I've been looking for... Samsung-skinned SMS

hm... yes, if there's a default wm instance exist, the system won't call tmail.exe again, (maybe) just send some message or event to such instance.
anyway... use this solution still get wm default program sometimes, because... it just use samsung's jinbox.exe only if possible, not always.

fantastic app! thank you (I use HZHJC2 stock rom btw)


PS. registry editing which worked in earlier roms such as IL2 no longer works in JC2

[the sandman]

does any one have the original tmail.exe for the i920? i accidently copied the file from here not know that it only works for the i8000 and now i cant open my messages

[twu2]

i920? wm 6.1?
you can try this tmail.exe from i8000 wm 6.1, it work fine for I8000HZHIJ1.

tmail_wm61.zip

apparently it doesn't work on the Omnia 2 i920
it's a shame... i really wanted that UI
hopefully someone really good with this stuff would find a way to fix it on the i920.. if it gets enough support (it should now with the new commercials) xD

[the sandman]

yea i know this looks really cool. i have i920 6.5. i managed to find the tmail.exe that i needed but my messages still wouldnt open so i had to do a hard reset

hey, one slightly annoying bug with this great app, the skinned e-mail doesn't work properly in landscape mode

[Man12529]

tmail.exe is a ROM file... just delete the one you overwrote it with, reboot, and the old one from the ROM will magically reappear.

to overwrite rom-files simply rename the original.
