I did a series of steps to get sms to work for me without getting errors:
1) I disabled sense
2) Installed max manila 2.519202525 ultimate cab
3) Installed Zenyee DisableHTCMessaging cab 1.2
4) Soft reset
5) Jumped cause the welcome screen startled me
6) Installed AmarullzPeopleMessageClassic.cab
Soft reset
9) was startled again
7) Edited the registry: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\People.Message.IsCDMA change the dword to 1
Enable sense and it worked.
