Just installed it. I installed to the device just to be sure. You still might want to back it up just in case.

EDIT: Wait, misread your question. HTC Messaging is disabled. Then I installed it. I forget if my Mighty ROM 2010.1.10 already had it disabled, but I think I disabled it myself.

OK Guys,

I'm running an SSK rom (6.5 build 21872) which has Arcsoft built in.

I tried installing the 6.5 cab from post #15, and nothing changed. How do I get WM Messaging to run instead of Arcsoft?

Looking at the dates, it looks like the relevant files in the windows directory changed. I did reboot after installing the cab.

TIA

Perhaps I overlooked it when I searched; how do you disable HTC Messaging?

you can try this cab, it's supposed to disable the htc messaging and use the standard windows sms. Didn't create the cab...I'm on manila 2.1

If the first cab doesn't work try the second one OrigDefault

OK, thanks given to nuuuuts.

I had already tried that first cab - didn't work for me. The second cab does work, however. Here's what to do:

Install the second cab from nuuuuts' post to device. Do not restart when prompted.

Install the 6.5 cab from post #15 to device.

Restart.

Looks cool.

Thanks to both nuuuuts and mavblues. The cab and directions worked like a charm. Looks sweet!

Cool program but it slows down Swype.

Erm, it's not a program. The cab files here are just edited CSS files and maybe new images. At least, I think, since that's all the original author wrote over at XDA.

For those that don't know, CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets -- the same file type used to style nearly every website on the internet.

And to that, I gotta say, I'm freaking stoked.. I love me some CSS.

I guarntee I'll be taking a deeper look at this and seeing if I can help the community with some SMS variety.
