Re: Text messages, replace softkey DELETE with NEW

Here you go, although this is for the Today screen left softkey. Save the ZIP to your PC or Phone, extract the CAB from it, and install the CAB. (Requires a Soft Reset after install.)

For the record, this CAB creates a shortcut in \Windows\AppButtons. The shortcut triggers the following command:
"tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""

After it creates the shortcut, it sets the following registry key and value:
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112">
<parm name="" value="New SMS" datatype="string" />
<parm name="Open" value="\Windows\AppButtons\NewSMS.lnk" datatype="string" />

As long as you are using a stock ROM, it will work fine. If not, you may have to fix your shortcut to launch the correct service... ie. "MMS" or whatever. If you want it to launch a new Hotmail, for example, change the service to "Hotmail". If you need to identify the service name, browse to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\SVC, and then just fix the shortcut in AppButtons.
