I had WM 6.1 on my Sprint TP2. the USB port failed and sprint replaced my phone for me, no charge, cool huh? I thought so...........

The problem is that the new TP2 has WM 6.5 on it and I can't get the HTC sms client to go away! I want to use the native WM sms client (threaded)


I want to disable the HTC sms client and only allow WM sms. I can't find a way to do it in sense 2.5/2012

Can I change from sense 2.5, back to 2.1, in the stock sprint WM 6.5?

Does anyone know of a way I can do this without flashing a different ROM?

Thanks NinjaDuck, I tried what you said but it didn't come up with any info I could understand, what I'm looking for the hex for my cricket connect, if you see the example below this will set the default connect to Internet. I want cricket. do you know how to find that Hex??


<parm name="CONNECTIONID" value="{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}" />

Connections are identified with GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). Since I do not have crocket as a service, I have no idea how to get the value for you.

Did you use KHEB? If you zip up your diff directory an PM me, I will try and figure it out for you.

Alternatively you can check:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\

Find Cricket and get the GUID from the DestID key.

I found the GUID for Cricket and tried to put it in the XML and run it but it wouldn't install, I was wondering if CONNECTIONID is a correct command.

No it is not. I was hoping you knew what to do with it if I pointed you in the right direction.

I don't know where this setting is and a do not have a second option to select so I can figure it out.

Sorry I can't be more help.

I organize my start menu different than what my come in a ROM. SO i want to know that after i have organized it can i create an xml file that specifies where i want my icons to be moved to? So when i flash again i dont have to manually move each icon? i have searched and either i am searching wrong or just not understanding it. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you organizing in to folders, or just changing the order?

The proper thing to do is to build ROM specific scripts to move the files and capture the registry info.

The cheap way is to backup your start menu --> Falsh the ROM --> Delete Start Menu --> Restore backup.

Registry info is here:
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\
Try DotFred task manager, total commander, or Resco Registry to export the parts you need.

Some of the script tutorials in the begining of the thread should help you with the file operations.

Here is a Mort script I use to backup some of my information:

A quick question. I just flashed after spending hours trying to make sure it would go well. hahaha no luck. I used xml provision maker to create my xml files and did the rest with settings exporter from NRGZ28 and export settings in sense. Flash went ok but I didn't get my mail, wifi or a bunch of other settings back. It appears that XDA_UC didn't run my xml files.

Do they have to be saved as unicode the same as reg files? I created them on my pc so they were probably ansi.

Is there anyway of provisioning xml files one at a time or seeing what is going on or is there a switch for creating a log file. I may have errors in the xml files that I don't know about and with the Energy rom's running of xda_uc in the background I don't see what is happening. I know I got all my cabs installed but not much else.
