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

[Maxx134]

Yes thats exactly what happened to me.
No cab installs of any kind worked, so I decided to hack the manilaFull xml file.

I would suggest anyone who likes and wants to stay on official new Sprint rom, to try the "Sprint Lovers" rom because it is basically the same but tweaked better and has the sprint tabs.
Also the cabs may work but I havent tried.

I know everybody always slams the HTC Messaging, but I use it & it works fine for me (NRG Dusk ROM)

The key for me is, I keep my inbox cleaned out. I see no reason to let old texts pile up & I would NEVER restore old texts after a ROM flash (I crack up every time I read some DB saying "I restored 4200 text messages & now my texting is sluggish & freezes up").

The HTC app does get sluggish as the texts build up, but I empty my inbox every morning & it works perfectly for both MMS & SMS.

I updated my girls phone to the new Sprint 6.5 stock update. It has the standard WM texting in it. I see her using it all the time and she's not techy person so I know she didn't install anything.

Sprint couldn't get the HTC app to work, so they left it out.

I have the stock sprint 6.5 & it sill loads htc's when I click on the message as it appears in sense. I just click on all message on the bottom left to take me to my text message list in WM to avoid it.

you were using WM6.1 with Sense2.5 ??

Or sense2.1 ?
Anyway I got tired of the plain rom and just reverted to a Sense2.1 rom for relief from HtC

ALL HTC TP2's are running HTC Messenger from the factory, in addition to WM Messenger.
TP2 did when new from Sprint with 6.1Even on the TP1 ran both.
The new Sprint 6.5 ROM just forces you to use HTC Messenger more often.

If you have not read the 1st post in this thread, go back and look at the pics I posted so you see what we're referring to as HTC Messenger and WM Messenger in this thread.

not that it is exactly the least involved solution to your problem...
but i use SSMAHO to assign whatever programs i want to almost any link sense.
i used it all the time with my tp1 and tp2 with 6.1 and so far it works like a charm with my stock 6.5 rom
i have my all msgs, newest msg and new msg links on my messages tab linked to sms-chat and it works great.
if i can find SSMAHO i will attah, otherwise do a search here or xda.

I was using my phone 100% stock with 6.1.
Then, I was using my phone 100% stock with Sprint's official 6.5 ROM.

Being forced by the new official ROM to use the HTC Messenger all the time is why I'm modding my phone for the 1st time.
