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

[tt C6]

All I want to do is this:
1. Use a "My Favorites" Screen to select a contact and choose "Send Message".
2. Insert my pre-written responses using a "My Texts" feature.
I do NOT want to use the keyboard at all when I send texts.

All of these after market programs people keep mentioning do NOT allow you to used "My Favorites" to choose a recipient. I do NOT want to type anything out. I want to simply tap my screen to select a recipient.

Also, WM messaging makes you type out the letters of a contact to add a recipient. I do NOT want to use the keyboard at all when I send texts. All I want to do is choose a favorite contact and choose a pre-written message.

All of the above was possible when the TP1 and TP2 came out of the box.
I want the same functionality, BUT I want to be able to use the new "my favorites" screen in Sense 2.5.

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 had restored my texts, and my phone would freeze when texting, so I cleared them all out and it works now

What's so difficult about typing? How many pre-fills do you have man. Seems kind of lame to me.

If you can't see the value in this simple concept, I can't help you man.

Maybe if you were running a company like I am, or even a sales professional, you'd get it.
Hell, even a school kid or employee with an active social life who can't be blatanly typing Mon-Fri could benefit from this.

Happy Easter.

There are still a few cooked roms that you can disable HTC messaging.
I suggest mayby not to limit yourself to the Official Sprint rom.
Most new cooked roms have newer Build numbers and prob are faster

the problem is that the most functional build of 2.5 for rhodium is 2012... unfortunately, the tweaks to disable htc messaging do not work in 2012. any rom not using 2012 isn't going to have the functionality of ones that do.
