QuickReply 1.2.1 – Reply to SMS without closing your Apps

QuickReply for SMS is another great add on available on cydia, With this app you can reply to SMS directly from any app, You dont need to close the current app that you are using to reply the SMS anymore.

Once you receive SMS, You will see the Message box with 3 buttons including Close, View and Reply, If you choose View it will close the current app and launch the default Messages app, If you choose Reply then it pops Keyboard and text box just like what your default Messages app shows when you reply, only difference is that will be in transparent form. Once you hit the Send button, It will close.

This app works great, Though you wont see any icon or toggle for this app, Once installed just reboot it.

Requirements:
1. SinfuliPhone Repo : http://www.sinfuliphone.com/repo/
2. Add this source to Cydia by tapping Manage, Sources. Then Tap Edit and type in the URL above.
3. Once loaded, it should appear in the Sources list. Tap it, and scroll down to Quick Reply.
4. Install. Confirm. Voila. Free QuickReply for SMS on your iPhone.

This app works great, Though you wont see any icon or toggle for this app, Once installed just reboot it.

SMS Helper – SMS Character Counter 0.3-2

SMS Helper is a very cool application that counts the number of characters as you type a text messages. When installed, it adds a counter into the stock Messages application. The character count is displayed on the Send button in the lower right corner as you type the message… it is a very clean implementation of the mod.

This mod is cool for a couple of reasons. The first is that most devices (carriers) allow a text message of 160 characters before the message is split into two texts. Another reason this is a helpful mod is that if you twitter from your text messages, you normally have to guess when you have hit the 140 character limit well… not anymore!

The counter displays the number of characters out of 160 (example 45/160) however, since the iPhone can go over 160 characters it will just continue to count the characters (example 185/160).

Overall, a very cool mod that I will most definitely be keeping. You can get SMS Helper via the BigBoss sources.

iRealSMS 2.0.9.1 – Now works on iPhone OS 3.0

One of my favorite features, in fact probably the ONLY feature, i use is the ability to reply without opening the messaging app. This saves an incredible amount of time.

Last night iRealSMS 2.0.9.1 was released and I’m glad to say it works great on the new OS 3.0. I had troubles at first with the first few betas, but it works now. I’m not too fond of the messaging app they use, but like I said, I basically only use the quick reply. Although I kind of like it when it just had one line instead of 4. It as cleaner. Oh well. Here is some additional information:

Released 06-30-2009

ChangeLog:

    1)Bug Fix:
    — In some countries not support by Apple officially a bug could let iRealSMS crash on receiving SMS
    (this was due to some phone number country code plist files missing entries for some countries)

2)UI Tweak:
— In Full screen reply/write view not only the char count is shown but also the SMS count.
