Pyromob - you are the man!

I installed 2018 successfully and it works really well. My ROM had 2017 already cooked in to it. I backed up all my messages just in case but it turns out I didn't need to :)

Here's what i did - Backup messages (just in case), turn off sense (Settings - Home - Today - Items - uncheck Sense), soft reset, install 2018, soft reset, turn sense back on. And all the messages were there and threaded :)

Seems to work as fast as 2017 for me so far, no noticeable speed increase but maybe we've gotten spoilt :) I don't get any -CDMA or -GSM extra text. I haven't been able to test mms yet, but hopefully it works and I don't need to apply any settings. I'll report back about that.

Overall - pretty good job pyro! Keep it up.

EDIT - Unable to download MMS or sent it :( Do I need to apply TMO US mms settings? I don't want to do this if there's no way to undo it.

EDIT - Fyi I'm using Omega XT 4.1 ROM on T-Mobile USA HD2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
did you do like in my second to last post and set your mms network settings as default? and if they are not not there, then you might have to rerun connection setup or install my tmo mms client settings cab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the7thson:
How do I do that? Thanks for your continued support!

EDIT: Doh! Nevermind I figured it out, you just have to hold it down and then click Set Default on the popup, I can send and receive now!! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
in htc messenger go to menu/settings/options/ then again at the bottom, menu/mms server, open up whatever mms server you have there to use, and two things, make sure the "Connect via" is set for your main data connection (the one that is used for you to access the internet) and press back, the mms settings name will be highlighted and while its highlighted go to, at the bottom, menu/ "set as default". now hit back, done and you should be done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sqoerk:
New version, new german translation. THX for the new version pyrorob

As there are a few new options, the translation files have changed. Wouldn't be bad to have a "version" hint on the first page :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the7thson:
Thank you! Works great.

Btw my Connect Via was set to "T-Mobile MMS", which is not my default data connection but it seems to work just fine.

One last question - Incoming messages have tiny pictures, how do I make it show up full size? I already set up the Messages Size Limit to 1024kb.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
you need to install the mms size fix.

you can find the cab in this post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4823485&postcount=1

it's called: DragonWorld - T-Mobile MMS Fix with Small Picture Fix.cab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
nope! thats for arcsoft. try this:View attachment 378454
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the7thson:
Yeah I just went through the reg entries , it's definitely for arcsoft and all it does is set the message size to 1000. I've already set my message size manually to 1024. Any ideas pyro?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
check my last post again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the7thson:
This cab has hundreds of reg entries including some that overwrite my custom settings like quick text. Are you sure this is right? I think you mayve accidentally cabbed up too many reg entries.

One setting included in this cab is this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMessaging\Setting]

"UI_IncomingMessageSize"="100 KB;100;200 KB;200;300 KB;300;600 KB;600;1024 KB;1024;3072 KB;3072"

"MessageSizeList"="KB:100;KB:200;KB:300;KB:600;KB:1024;KB:3072"

Is this all I need or are there more?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stathis95194:
pyrorob, thanks for the info....This procedure worked perfectly for upgrading from 2017 to 2018. Another question. Is the Color Icons cab from Post #1 still compatible with 2018? I was using it with 2017 and it was perfect, i just need your confirmation before i install it on 2018.

Thanks for a great job.

Edit: bah i installed it anyway (couldn't wait...lol) and everything is working fine. Perfect job pyrorob, two thumbs up!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
its the cab i use and it works perfectly for me... and it doesnt touch anything regarding quicktext and it only has about a dozen reg entries..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Expanded Icon Pack

Hey Just to let everyone know, If anyone has any suggestions for some color icons they would like to see inserted into the icon pack just let me know.. a screen shot of the icon in question would help and if you could attach or link to the icon that be great.

What ill do in a little while (i need some sleep first) is ill list all icons that can be or havent already, been replaced and list them by size and with there pic so people can pick and choose what they want to submit.. ill have to go thru and possibly edit some to fit to the prerequisites of the existing icons, but i think it would be neat to have a total icon overhaul of this!

and btw, i already experimented with backgrounds... i managed to skin the settings panel with my own png picture, but only because the settings for it were contained in a xml, while the settings for the main viewing and reading panes are coded into the dll and there were issues.. the settings panel had a resolution (due to the xml) of 400x1550 so with out a graphic that would match at both ends to be able to be self repeating, there were anomalies, so just sticking to icons now..

so start your imaginations and pick some stuff :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] onesolo:
Tell me one thing pyrorob, I plan to update my NRGZ rom to the latest but as we all know NRGZ don't come with the HTC Messaging client.

For example in order to have HTC Messaging I had to specific install an (old) HTC Messaging version, that NRGZ provided, and then I was able to install whatever version I like.

What I need to know, is if I tried to install the latest HTC Messaging version that you provided here on a clean NRGZ rom, will it going to install or fail?? If it fails, is it possible for you to modify the cab in order to be able to install the HTC Messaging even on a rom that doesn't have any HTC Messaging client??

Thkx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aamadorj:
I installed Pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20181630.cab on Standard Energy ROM 23673 (August 6th) without problems. I just run the CAB and restart at the end of installation.

After booting up, Pyrorob Messaging Client is replacing WM Messaging.

Actually it is easier to install this new Messaging Client on Energy ROMs, because you skip many steps that are normally needed.

Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
did the mms size fix worked for anyone? either the one I posted or the one pyro posted? it's strange but now none seems to be working. the one I posted was the one I always used and it always worked for me......now when I double checked, it doesn't work. then I tried the one from pyro and that doesn't work either. so I wanted to know if any of them worked for anyone? wanted to know if I did something wrong when I cooked this build...thanks. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] onesolo:
Good to know that, many thkx!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
fixed

ok, so I double checked my kitchen and found everything to be in order.

for better mms size use the cab I attached below. tested and working perfectly.

maybe pyro can incorporate this in the messaging clients. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the7thson:
Are you using a TP2?

Here are the reg entries in your cab:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Jataayu\MMS\SP]

Not working on my HTC gene( QVGA wm 6.5.3 custom rom)...Says "not properly installed or not signed"...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
no I'm not using a tp2 I'm using an hd2. the reason the image is scaled down is because tmobile setup their network in such a way that when an anknown useragent is used the image gets scaled down. I think the info is somewhere on their website or someone posted it on xda here, don't quite remember where. so when the UA is setup for the tp2 it all works good. there's also an xml file in the cab too: "Rhodium-1.0.xml", you can go through it if you like.

if you found a different method that allows for large mms post it here so others can benefit. thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
I just noticed this feature, I don't remember it being in the other older messaging clients...when you're client has more than one number there's 2 additional button that comes into the message app called "voice call" which allows you to call anyone of the numbers and "recipient's phone number which allows you to select which number to set the message to. I always had to hit the dialer button then find the contact then open the contact hit the number I want to call them at (yeah I know there's an easier way in manila, but I don't use manila). so this feature is pretty welcomed by me :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
well, thats good... for a second there i thought it suddenly was qvga compatible, which as i stated before it ISNT.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tenspeed:
im running the energy rom and i installed your 2018, its super fast and smooth, im loving it right now. one tiny thing tho in conversation mod the receiving and sending r not right after each other., its alil all over the place, is there a way i could fix this? and thanks for client im loving my hd2 way more now ha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
try this settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP]

"UAProfile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/Leo-1.5.xml"

"UserAgent"="T-Mobile_LEO"

There from the tmo hd2 rom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the7thson:
Where exactly do you see this?

Lol!

Sure enough, this made the pictures bigger, they're still not in the original size though. Scaled down my 700k image to 135k but that's way better then the tiny 2k pic from before. Thanks guys!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hotty1177:
Mine is HTC Elfin(QVGA) Winmo 6.5.3 by ONYX maybe if you have spare time to make it compatible in our device it would be great.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Do they have sense 2.5 for qvga? no? then this will never be compatible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Hey if anyone on who has a cdma device wants to work with me to figure out the mms issue just drop me a line here.

I have some things i want to try, but i need to do it hands on which can be accomplished by using teamviewer and my mobiler.

So let me know..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sqoerk:
I've installed the 2018 version yesterday and o2 managed to send my the right informatio (I think so). Now everythiing works really well. Here the MMS configuration:

ip address: 82.113.100.5

server address: http://10.81.0.7:8002

connect via: (your data connection name)

wap ver: wap 2.0

THX for your good work pyrorob
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
Hello Pyrorob, Glad to see the latest 2018 version. I wonder if it will correct my issue with Sense 2018 or if it is the Manila Message 2.6 2017 problem. I have missing new message icon. The button is there but no icon. With ManilaMessage 2.5 2016 it was working.

Will you post a External package as well for 2018. And what Manila Message package is best to use with your package?

EDIT: I'm not sure which package people are using of the 2.6 Manila Message? I just checked with Manila editor and there are no visible images in the folder?

People who are using 2.6 are they copying files for images from 2.5?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Here you go:

Pyrorob HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20181630.rar

And what icon? where should you be seeing it? if i had some more info i might be able to help...

and the oboe rom had Manila_Message_2_5_20173927_0, so i would probably recommend that..

T-Mobile US MMS setting for LEO

Hi pyrorob,

First let me say thank you for all the good work you are doing with the Messaging client. It is far better than those that refused your help. :D

My question: Do I need to edit the register with above T-Mobile US MMS setting, or is this included in your pyrorob T-Mobile MMS for htc messaging.cab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Well, I had removed it cause the user string and agent id in the messaging cab was working just fine for me, but i added it back into the tmo mms settings cab, so redownload it if you have previously.. and thanks.

Random blank texts

Has anyone seen blank random texts being set to random people after installing this version??? esp when you soft reset the device.....I am on mighty rom.........
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobsbbq:
Thanks, Sorry I was referring to the New Message icon on the upper right corner on the Message tab in Sense. I suspect there are other Icons missing as well as In the Manila Message Package there are no image Manila files, that are readable through Manila Editor. For Now I have rolled back to the 2.5 Package and everything is ok.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wazamania:
does this work for hvga?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xebozone:
I installed your latest 2018 client, but am looking forwards to a new version that also works on CDMA networks soon, if possible.

Thanks for your work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
I dont have this issue at all with Pyro's version
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xebozone:
Yeah, I noticed this, and re-edited ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Did you see what i posted 9 posts up from yours?

From what i could read didnt telstra shut off there cdma service 2 years ago?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xebozone:
Nah, I missed that one. You should post on the original post that you need people to help you out.

So SMS will work on CDMA, just not MMS? I don't really send MMS (my provider charges a fortune for them last time I checked).

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
yeah as far as i understand it works just fine on cdma except for mms

htc messaging client v 2018

hi pyrorob, love the app and your work. The every htc messaging app from 2016-2018 that i have tried load the conversation messages between me and another person one at a time.I prefer how in the 2012 version, four messages would open and then the rest would load soon after. I read this is a new feature for the newer clients. is there a setting or a registry edit i can use for the messaging client to cache maybe the conversation so it doens't load it one by one every time? or disable this new feature?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wiadrovit:
Hello guys,

For some reason, I can't install any version of ANY messaging client (tried Pyrorob's, HCM and NRG). It takes about 2-3mins while the application looks like it's installing, but then i get error 'the installation of ... was unsuccessful'.

I've followed the instructions (disabled .dll first > soft-reset and so on...), the error's always the same.

Could you tell me if i'm doing anything wrong? I'm running shadowline's rom, everything else seems to be working fine so far.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] soosoolhastam:
make sure you tell us what phone you have with the rom your using.. otherwise none of us can help you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wiadrovit:
Sure, sorry.

It's Topaz with shadowline's 23081x1M (Manila 2.5).

I can also tell you that i've managed to install the client once on the latest shadowline's rom, but there was a contacts issue where the whole manila was crashing when you've tried to add a favourite to your list.

This version appears to be more stable, but as I said, installing any other client than current one (1.1) is impossible.

I've checked the messaging service in taskmgr, and it's off tho' the error still comes up as if there was some overwrite problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aamadorj:
Just as information, it happened to me a while ago that I wasn't able to install pyrorob HTC Messaging Client and after a lot of help form pyrorob it seemed that the problem was the ROM my device was using, because it had something missing at the Registry.

So I changed to another ROM, from a different chef, and the exact same pyrorob's CAB installed without problems.

And as I wrote before, pyrorob HTC Messaging Client build 2018 is working great on my current ROM (see signature for more details).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wiadrovit:
Looks like the problem is now resolved ;) I've just installed another build of shadowline's rom and everything works great now.

So if any of you ever encounter a problem with installation on shadowline's rom, try build 23064x1M, working for me, hope it will for you as well.

Regards ;)

Hi,

I installed this to my phone and running into these issues :

1. Is it ok to install on manila 2.5 2012? I'm using NFSFAN 1.05 2012 on Touch Pro CDMA, and have CHT 1.8.5 installed before. When SMS comes in, the sms notification of CHT doesn't show the indicator. CHT was working normal before I install this sms client.

2. When i click the message on sms tab of manila, it brings me to conversation tab of the contact without OK button to go back to manila screen. I have to click first tab of contact to make the button shows up.

3. When i send a sms with delivery notification, i just got a message of "Message delivered" without any number of sender and recipient.

Please help, i just really want this nice clien to run on my device.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Im not sure. you might want to bring this up in the nfsfan rom thread, but from the few posts that i could find where someone was talking about running any messaging client on nfsfan's roms, they didnt work. so without downloading his rom and pulling it apart to see what the issue is exactly, the best i could assume is its due to the older packages on his rom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] soosoolhastam:
Cache messages

this is to anyone using htc messagin client 1.8x. I dont like the fact that the messages load one by one in conversation mode. is there a registry setting to enable cacheing of msgs. or make in similiar to the one nrgz made that loads like four messages and then the rest
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
Ok, I made this with some reg keys that id like to test to see what effect they have, maybe they would fix that thing for you? (i dont have that problem...)

and i wish people would quit referencing "nrgz messaging client version" theres nothing special about it.. its just the 2012 version with some of the icons changed to match his theme... the same thing i did, in fact he let me use the graphics in his for mine...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
woah! u can't tell them that, they might blow a vuze if they found out there's nothing too special to all these difference roms but a few reg tweaks, different apps and themes :rolleyes:.

pyro dont' see any reg keys in "pyrorob HTC MESS TEST.cab" maybe u can double check just in case I did something wrong
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pyrorob:
well, i was talking about the cab... And whoops look like i missed a reg key so the keys didnt take.. redownload as its been fixed.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scriller:
yeah i was talking about the cab too. redownloaded and check and yeah the reg keys are in there
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] soosoolhastam:
i installed the cab and used the 2018 htc messenger for the entire day. i noticed the registry edits significantly increased the conversations loading time. its not exactly what i was looking for but the cab is a great improvement. the messages still load one by one but just quicker now. i could live with it if there is no way to change it.

Hi there, I've a question and not sure if anyone can help. When you clcik the "all message" soft button located at the left-bottom of MESSAGE tab, and the you can go into the list view of the all message you have. But sometimes I feel the charaters of listview is too small (sorry, I am an old man).
