irealsms just releases there update allowing sms quick reply. what im suggesting is that someone make a whole app devoted to that one task, to quick reply to any text while in another app. i dont want to install a full sms replacement. in fact i really like the original sms app. i just want an app that can quick reply, so it doesnt interrupt your gaming, video watching, or web surfing. so if any one is up for it, please look into this app request!

great idea. i will support this as well

[joshuo]

That would be awesome!

seriously somebody get on that sh**!

[chbearsrock]

if this program could do the same thing with an IM program (ie BeejiveIM)...that would make it pretty damn amazing.

I agree because it is so annoying to switch back and forth especially if you receive numerous sms throughout the day...

You won't. If it's out, the people here would know about it.

Quick reply is the only reason I bought iRealSMS for and along with SMS forwarding is the only reason I use iRealSMS for. I don't care for iRealSMS or any other SMS app other than Apple's, but I love quick reply so much.

i would attempt to do this if i had some idea of where to intercept the incoming sms

if someone could get they're hands on irealsms source code i could extract the quick reply feature and then build some groundwork for the sending and receiving portion... that may sound kind of jumbled to you but i am not in the mood to think it out fully

HOMEWORK: get me ireal source code (with permission from the author of course) not that you guys could even find it without him

Sweet. At least someone's trying. I really hope to see this soon, because I'd love to start using the original SMS app but still be able to use quick reply.

And whoever makes it, please make it where the default SMS app will open when you press the reply button without texting anything, just like iReal does now with its own app.

this picture might help.

ya thx a bunch cuz that was soo useful the first time,

but still willing if someone gets me the ireal SC

[imnotgoingtorememberthis]

Well, it seems you were the only one in the other thread who didn't understand the chart, so I can see how you would think it wasn't useful.

Also, I don't think someone would just give you their source code if you ask politely. They're making money off of this, and if they release the source, anyone can have it for free.

There's a new sms app on cydia from the makers of MySms.
It's called QuickSMS. It's like a light version of MySMS that opens when you get a text, but it won't quit out of the application you're in. You press the home button to return to what you were doing before.

[him121213]

ya, alot of times they will. they know that it is as easy to crack it so they wont really care, but also i understand what you are trying to say but it still is just a chart displaying irealsms. just as i stated

I highly doubt that they would just give the source code up. Even if it is just part of it.
What I think that iRealSMS and MySMS does is kills the daemon (service) that watches for SMS messages coming in from the GSM modem. I don't think necessarily MobileSMS is open while you're in Springboard.
I think it'd waste some memory having an application as big as MobileSMS open just waiting for an SMS message.

So Apple most likely (no data to support me on this) has a small service waiting for the an SMS, then when it receives one it'll then show a UIAlert box in the Springboard, gives you an option to Close (dismiss), or Reply (open MobileSMS).

What you could do is replace the hook from the SMS watcher daemon thats hooked to Springboard with your custom popup box; Which can also include a text box, more buttons (Reply, Quick Reply, Close etc), and the SMS message that's been received.
I'm not exactly sure how to achieve this, but i have some idea... because i've been a little curious. So i found this tutorial on hooking to springboard, it may help someone to create their own quick reply mod:
