look you have to understand how it works

im gunna give it to you the easiest way possible

think of a plug in as a power plug with the prongs

you can make something that has prongs and needs power ... but it wont work if there is no place for you to plug it in

it works this way with a program... you can write everything perfectly for a quick reply plugin but when it comes time to actually plug it in you will notice that there is no socket in the original sms app

therefore you have to recreate the sms app... which is what the devs of bite, ireal and my sms have done

I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think we're on the same page here.
I drew a quick picture to clarify.
Black is what it currently does, and red is what a plugin could do.

Same. I use iRealSMS (paid) for quick reply and it (quick reply) works great. But I don't want to have to use iRealSMS as the default SMS app. When I send texts on the app itself (not quick reply), my iPhone stops responding until the message is sent. I like how you can click "Send" on the original text app and either close the app or go back to another message while it's sending.

And another thing I hate about iRealSMS is that while you're in the app, if you're texting someone and someone else sends you a text, you get a pop-up letting you know you got a text from someone. That's extremely annoying! I wish iRealSMS would just alert you with a sound like the original text app does.

yeah i see what your saying and basically you are showing me a tree chart of iRealSMS

I know its not exactly what you want, but if you buy iReal, you can just enable quick reply and still use the default SMS app. I am in the same boat as you, I love the smoothness of the default SMS app and that makes it the best IMO. I just bought iReal for the quick reply, and its doing pretty much what I want.

The only problem using this strategy is that if you just press reply without typing anything in the quickreply box, it takes you to the iReal program, not the default, however its not too big of deal at all.

I just emailed iRealSMS. I'm not sure if it can or will be done, but if they could just make it where you wouldn't get a quick reply box pop up when you're using the default SMS app and if the default SMS app opens up when you press "Reply" without inputting any text, then that would solve that problem. Then iRealSMS would be perfect! I prefer the default SMS app over any other one in Cydia, but I love quick reply even more. If I could somehow have both with iRealSMS, it would be the perfect SMS app.

I don't think they'll do that, because it would mean you're not using their product, and it would be obnoxious to the people who use ireal for their main SMS client

I really don't think they care if you use their SMS app as your default one. As long as they get their money, they should be happy.
