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

I just posted this in the tweaks thread but i think its more fitting here since i sorta wanna do the same thing.

Does anyone have a cab that replaces the people tab with the 6.1 people/favorite tab.

In 6.5 you can only select one form of communication for a person but in 6.1 you had all the options. For instance when you choose a person from the 'contacts' button from programs.

OK. I have 2 temporary "band aids" until someone can find a registry hack or cab to make MS messaging the ONLY text screen.

#1. Set "CONTACTS as a "quick tab" on the home screen because it will use MS messaging when you text from there. Do NOT use "PEOPLE"

#2 Set "TEXT" as another "quick tab" which will put you directly into the MS text version of your existing texts. Simply typing the name of the recipient you desire will bring up previous texts to them and just enter into old threaded texts to respond to them.

The 2 above are not a permanent fix, but a start to someone posts a permanent solution.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Same here. Took the file, copied it to Windows on the phone, and nothing. Had HTC Sense disabled too, reset the phone, then re-enabled it.

The reason I wanted to do the Windows is that the HTC messaging is so slow, I get nothing out of it. I even wait until it UN-FREEZES. Piece of crap really. Go back to Mobile Shell, and have NO problems with it whatsoever.

Oh well. Probably going to flash back to 6.1.

If you tap the name below the picture, instead of the picture itself, you will get all the options.
