Sprint's 6.5 forces you to use "HTC messaging" over "WM messaging". Is there a fix?

Thank you for giving me the right "titles". Yes, I prefer the WM messaging to the HTC messaging.


Frankly, the ONLY thing I love about HTC software is:
#1 the favorites contacts
#2 program tabs on the home screen

That's it.

you can get the wm messaging by default by swapping out a manila file.

Yay! for Yay for Juggs.

Can you either post instructions on how to do this or a link to where the info can be found?
I have NEVER modded ANYTHING on a phone or computer before. This will be my 1st.
Thanks.

extract the manila fike feom the archive then using either resco exolorer or total commander copy the file to your windows directory...make sure sense is disabled first before copying to the file

OK. Here is a quick fix for being able to RESPOND to incoming texts with WM messaging. This adjustment to settings will allow a bubble to pop-up with the incoming text and when you hit "reply" it puts you into WM messaging.

Under notifications go to Event:Messaging New Text Message

Same thing for MMS if you want that as well.

Thanks blkhwks.

Would someone mind posting some screenshots of the HTC messaging in the new sprint ROM? Thanks.

The below is what I mean by "WM messaging" where you will see "SEND" and "MENU" at the bottom underneath the threaded texts.
The "MENU" below will allow you to insert "MY TEXTS".
Also, when composing new text messages in "WM Messaging" you can add multiple recipients by just typing out their names and all unsaved texts are automatically saved in "DRAFTS".
WM Messaging is MUCH BETTER than HTC Messaging.

The top left 2 (of 6) screens in the pic below show the "HTC messaging" screen. There is "BACK" and "MENU" at the bottom, BUT the "MENU" does NOT bring up "MY Texts"
