I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.

It would need to remember numbers so that it only replies to each number once in a given time period (it may do this already.)
Haha! Totally forgot to put that in there. I'll get right on it and post it later today!

Hi davey1980,
I can certainly put that on my list of future implementations and try and work it into the next version. I may be able to spend a bit of time on it this week so I may be able to get a release out before next weekend with that feature in.
With regards to downloading, if you left click the attachment you'll get the cab file to download. I just tried right clicking and "saving file as" and that gave me the php file.
If you're still struggling, email me at [email protected] and I'll mail the cab file over to you.
Thanks
no luck
well i tried left clicking and right clicking, save as. but keeps giving me php. i'll email you. cos i love this little programme!

I shall certainly be working in a whitelist into the next version. I was thinking of custom messages per whitelisted number too.
If you can think of anything else, let me know!
Mods, I agree, if this could be moved to the Dev section it would be appreciated, will probably get a few more people swinging by with suggestions then.
Thanks
Nice work
I haven't tried installing yet because I don't really have a need for it... but I can certainly see how it might come in handy one day.
Perhaps you could get some screenshots up and maybe a changelog?
Cheers!
p.s. You might need to send a PM to a mod to get their attention, they seem to be a bit thin on the ground on this site!

Just uploaded version 1.3.5.0 with the option of using the blacklist or the whitelist for SMS replies.
Ok, thanks so much. I will try it and get back to u.
thanks for the whitelist option.
suggestions:
- add blacklist/whitelist number manually
- when adding from the list, show number of the contact also
A little background:
The other day I was looking for a simple SMS auto-reply to function as an away message of sorts for when I'm busy and can't actively reply to texts. My search turned up two candidates, SMS Minder and Mobliza. SMS Minder was exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately it simply did not work for me. It must've been something about my ROM, but it just ignored any texts that I received. I then paid the few bucks for Mobliza, which worked well, but it "blocked" the texts from my inbox, preventing me from viewing them later which I did not care for. I had been looking for an excuse to play around with Windows Mobile development, so I fired up Visual Studio and had a crack at it. Four hours later, here is the first release of what I got.
How to use it:
At the top of the window is a drop-down list of messages. Choose one or type in your own.
Press Start.
That's it. It'll send that message to anybody who texts you until you press Stop or exit the program.
Features:
Shows who it has replied to. Uses the contact picture if available so you can see at a glance. Useful if you're using this while driving and you are curious who texted you but you don't want to be distracted.
Unlike other programs of this nature, this one does not interfere with the text in anyway. It still goes to your normal inbox. It still gives the ringtone and vibrates like usual. This is by design.
Custom messages. Save your list of custom replies in the settings window, or simply type one into the main window quick if you're in a hurry.
Features coming later:
White/blacklists. Controls who does and doesn't get the replies.
Others? Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in this.
This program requires the .NET Framework 3.5 to function.
Thanks for taking a look, hope someone finds this useful
Changelog:
5/31 7:40PM: Added support for saving custom messages; check the Settings menu for more. Also packaged in a cab so it can be installed and used like a proper program now.
5/30 8:30PM: Works better with QVGA devices now. I played around with the emulators, and it turns out that QVGA devices have a different DPI than VGA+ devices. So although the program ran fine on QVGA devices, it wouldn't show any actual messages it responded to, just said "and 1 more."
5/30 3:51PM: Initial release
I'm gonna try it tomorrow.
This sounds like Just the application I was looking for. Here in NY state, it is illegal to text while driving. IMHO, It is kind of dumb to text while driving, anywhere.
I have been looking for a way to send an automatic text to let people know that "I am driving now...will text later."
I am going to give this program a try tomorrow morning, and will keep you posted.
I'm also in NY state, one of the reasons I was looking for something like this
Looking forward to what you think about it.
Great. Will try it out and let you know. Thanks.
This looks really nice, as there are several times in class or when driving that I'd prefer to have an auto-reply rather than have to keep people waiting.
Couple of suggestions though:
Whitelist/Blacklist, as you said in the first post. Would help if there's certain people that you MUST be in contact with. Maybe even a extra vibrate when a message comes from a blacklist person?
Time-based activation, so that it auto-texts during class hours
Keep it up!
Maybe GPS-based activation when a user-defined speed is detected, so that it automatically starts replying to any texts when one gets in the car and start driving?
I just installed this app on my TP2 and had a friend send me a test text. It works really well. My only question is, will I have to start the application from the zip file every time I want to use Repli? There is no icon or shortcut placed in the start menu and it is not listed as a program when I search the program files in File Manager. It doesn't seem to use a lot memory so is it designed to stay open at all times. Thanks for you great effort.
Looks interesting, will test it out later..
Thanks for sharing

It keeps track of who it replies to. If the person is in your contacts, it displays their name, photo, and message. If they aren't, it simply shows the phone number and message.
Unlike other programs I've tried, this one does not interfere with the text in anyway. It still goes to your normal inbox. It still gives the ringtone and vibrates like usual. This is by design, I didn't like how Mobliza blocked that.
I haven't been able to test this since I only have a VGA WinMo device, but I've wrote it as resolution independent as I could. It works in landscape and portrait, and should theoretically work on devices with other resolutions (WVGA, QVGA, etc?). Hopefully you guys will be able to give me feedback on this one.
Features I might add later:
Saving of custom messages. Right now it starts up with the same four messages every time, you can't save your custom messages between runs. I'll add this in the next release.
White/blacklists. I'll add this if there's any demand.
Others? Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in this.
I should also mention that this requires the .NET Framework 3.5. It's also a tiny exe file, I didn't package it up as a cab or anything. So drop the exe on your device and run it. I didn't add much error-handling so don't be surprised if the program crashes for you. If it does, please let me know what you were doing and what exception it throws so I can fix it up.

Made a quick .cab file, but no icon yet. Thanks for the cool app!
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I just posted an update. I added support for custom messages now with saving and loading. I made a lot of progress on whitelists and blacklists, but its not ready for primetime quite yet. Also, I finally packaged it as a cab so you can install it like its a real program now.
Keep the feedback coming
new version works well with the custom messages, but i cannot start the app. It just stays on the start. first version started though. Thanks.
Sorry about that. I changed the way the program initialized the SMS catching. Guess it doesn't work universally that way. Try the updated cab.

A few questions to help me debug:
1. When you press the Start button, does it switch to say "Stop"?
2. When your friend texts you, does the message show up in the window?

Appreciate your work on this. Very useful.
This is great!
I tested out the program yesterday while traveling. I think it is a fantastic idea. It worked the whole time. You can use it for so many other things! Meetings, Emergencies, Etc. I especially like the fact that it tells you who you have to get back to. This way you don't forget about them.
I did find a bug.
1) You have to hit "exit" - not the "x" at the top of the screen. If you use the "ok" button on your phone, or tap the "x" at the top of the screen, you get an error message that tells you:
"An unexpected error has occurred in Repli.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information." Then when you choose "Details" you get this message:
" Error
Repli.exe Applicationlauncherenableexception at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.Unregister(StringapplicationLaunchId) at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.Finalize()"
Thanks for making the Icon for the start menu! It makes life soooo much easier. Also, thanks for making customized replies available.
Thank you so much for this wonderful little application! It is going to be a real life (and money/ticket) saver!!

2) I would really like to be able to save my own personnal auto reply, based on why I can't text at the time. Sometimes I get in a hurry, and don't have time to re-type my auto message. (But that's just me)
The program really does need an icon. Even to just put it in your menus list. But...
My solution, for now, is: I copied the program into My Documents, so when I use file explorer, it is on the first page and I don't have to go looking for where I put it. Once I have used the program, it stays in "recent programs" on your start menu until I soft reset. (I have start-clean so when I reset, the recent programs folder gets emptied.)

Glad you like it! It sounds like you're using an old version though. Install the cab file in the first post, it has an icon and lets you save your messages. Let me know if that version still gives you those exceptions if you close it with the OK button. Thanks

An old SGSII running an older version of Litening rom my friends has, got the keypad, logs, contacts, favourites and groups all in one place.
I can't seem to change this/merge them, were the merged dailer/contacts part of the previous rom? Previous touch wiz version? Or am I being dumb and not finding the setting to have them in the same screen?

Let's see on GB you have to click contacts from dialer
On ics you have to press menu than click contacts.
So my question is how hard/tiring is one more click?
Also you have t9....

Mate, your sarcasm meter is faulty, send it off for repairs, and while your at it get treatment for those saddle sores.
And you want to raise the question know how hard/tiring one more click per use is, and you are who exactly? how heroically pedantic. Do I tell you how the way you do things are wrong?
After you have used it in a car dock extensively, I'll think you might have half an idea of the implications, until then you obviously don't get what the difference is and just want to jump on the comment about an extra few taps, bravo
"Also you have T9...." And?

Thank you for that long letter, your use is specific and valid for you, but not all who whining are using it on a car dock.
And where did I say anything about you being doing things wrong !

lets call it quit peace!
God god man, you are thicker than a 2x4 mate. :/
can't you just push the GB phone.apk into sys?
You could always install a 3rd party app like Go Contacts which comes with a dialer and have it all intergrated once again.

Thanks Aikje and Bored Stupid, proper contributions and advice
To be honest, I already had ExDialer and Contacts by the time the good Sun90 let me know it's the lay of the land with ICS. Have had a quick look at others too.
With A N Other dialers I've tried so far, you have to tap a different end of the phone, which still takes your attention away for half a second, which when crossing the A406 to get to the A1 isn't really the one, actually, anywhere in central London to be fair.
It's purely for this reason, it's the 'no look' control on the old dialer I'm after again, as I'm on the blower a lot, so am obviously evaluating other options as there could be better out there, I've only just updated to ICS so contrary to a certain peevish belief, I asked a question on a q&a forum to point me in the right direction, as the better members here of XDA know how to *cough* soap box *cough* hahahaa
Regarding the pushing of the Phone.apk, was going to be trying that tonight after backing up, it came from a custom rom and my knowledge of these things is a bit dry, so will find out if it plays nice later.
Again, thanks for the info guys
Good luck, I thought the "Black infinitum" rom(or something like that) had the combined dialer&contacts, and that is 4.0.3...
I'll try it this afternoon and give some feedback okay?
EDIT: doesn't work...
another ics tryout
try ics passion
Im comming from another manufacturer so im not familjar with sammy and their phones. Im making this thread for those who have any questions on some how to things in hopes some people can answer.
How do you change the order of your bookmarks and actually have them save the way tou like them. Everytime i click save it reverts back to factory way.
Also is there a way to share a photo while being on the web without downloading the pic first.
When on the internet, do i have to scroll all the way up to the top of the page to see the www bar?
Is there a way to set all default dialing numbers to mobile?
It also seems like such a long process to search for someone in the phone tab and then to actually call them. Im use to sense, the process was much shorter and simpler.
Anyone......
