How to changes default SMS application to SMS-CHAT?

[Guest erichkooi]

Hi.

Do anyone know how to set default SMS application to SMS-CHAT?

I am on DDDRKO WM6.5 21815 ROM.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks.

Eric

ps: Really hate default SMS application, do anyone know what else user friendly SMS application beside SMS-CHAT?

[Guest dannych99]

There is a program called "SMS config" doing the job for you. ;)

It's a green application(no installation needed), just unrar and copy to where you want, run it---select SMS mode you like.

SMSConfig.zip

in registry go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM

SMSInboxThreadingDisabled and there 1 = regular sms style

SMSInboxThreadingDisabled 0 = sms-chat

i think you guys are missing his point. He wants VITO SMS-CHAT as his default right? Not just threaded messaging.

[Guest jonboyuk]

FYI WM6.5 isn't a firmware ;) It's a version of WinMo!

I guess I am still stuck with default SMS application.

PS: I was search around yesterday on other forums and managed to change the setting (.....\:MSINBOX to SMS-CHAT), which enabled default SMS to SMS-CHAT except on WM6.5 Homescreen section ;)

Any idea guys?

[Guest endursa]

i think in the titanium chome plugins are the links hardcoded

one way would be to use ctext instead of chome there you can set the link via the registry:)

So are you saying that by changing this, it would work in TouchFlo?

Lets say you wanted to use Resco Contact manager -

If you want to use the Sms program from Resco Contact Manager as the default, here's the Key you need to change:

HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Shell>Rai>:MSINBOX

Change key labeled 1 from tmail.exe

Change key labeled 1 to :RPhoneMan -sms

To change to Resco Contact Manager change this key:

HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Shell>Rai>:MSCONTACTS

Change key labeled 1 from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts

Change key labeled 1 to :RPMContacts

The above just needs to be edited for your chosen app. This still does not change the Titanium chome plugins though as pointed out above they need to be edited either in the registry or via chome editor.

Excuse me for being thick, but I can't find this in the registry?!?!

[Guest DJRedLine]

Make sure your looking in the 'Rai' folder and not the 'Ria' folder

[Guest Unisoldrew]

Do you have the complete path cos I can't find (even by searching) any of the above criteria in the registry?!?!

Thanks.

Thanks.

this is the full path -

HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Shell \ Rai \ :MSINBOX

HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Shell \ Rai \ :MSCONTACTS

These should definately be there or your phone wouldnt work correctly ;)

Tried changing it but nothing happens. It still uses MS text when clicking from the task bar.

Here is how you set up SMS-Chat as your default SMS Client on a windows mobile.

I am running Windows 6.1 on a Samsung Omnia. My goal was to have SMS-Chat open when I click the SMS button from SPB-Mobile Shell which is the interface I'm running.

http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.htm

Edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Shell > Rai > :MSINBOX

set the following:

Name: 0

Data: SMSChat

Name: 1

Data: "\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe" [DONT FORGET THE "QUOTES"]

Name: 2

Data: 0

Name: 3

Data: 0

Hi, Thanks for the help but changing registry it wont open SMS-CHAT when I clicked on Titatium 6.5 homescreen link.

anyone know how to edit titatium homescreen?

[Guest nxtvctm]

I made SMS Chat my default chat application. Heres how. I followed the steps provided in the earlier posts about changing the registry thing. This only works if your SMS chat is installed on your device. If its installed in My storage or somewhere else, you write the location of it. Eg for me it was "\My Storage\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"
