New day, new update in Cydia: biteSMS. You can simply use biteSMS as a souped-up replacement to the built-in Messaging application, and send messages via your mobile carrier as you normally do. biteSMS comes with lots of extra features like smileys, Quick Reply, Quick Compose, privacy, scheduled SMS, passcode lock, delivery reports, signatures, and much more!
biteSMS was just updated to v5.1 which comes with the following changelog:
- Now fully iOS 4.2.1 compliant.
- Great new Privacy feature, allows you to easily hide any of your conversations for complete privacy and reveal them as required (or simply to blacklist them). See biteSMS, Settings, Hide Contact for details.
- Enhanced Quick List – We now show the full text message in the Quick List (unless it doesn’t fit on the screen, in which case we show 3 lines per message).
- O Yeh….NICE! Quick Reply, change the size of the message text. See Settings, Quick Reply.
- You can now control the display order of messages in Quick List. See Settings, Quick List.
- Added an “All Timestamps” setting. You guessed it! If set, shows timestamps against every message.
- In biteSMS, Settings, Passcode Lock, added a new preference “Require Passcode” Immediately, After 1 minute, 3 minutes…etc.
- Improved the Quick Compose and Quick Reply typing speed and general performance.
- Any m4r files in the /Applications/biteSMS.app/sounds folder will now appear in the “biteSMS Ringtones” list. So you can use any of your own custom created ones!
- Added a FaceTime button in both Quick Compose and Quick Reply. This feature is ONLY for iOS 4.1 users and above.
