Seeing as Kate doesn't seem to work on 2.1 does anyone know if there is an app out there which blocks (or just puts 'Text Message') or stops your SMSs from appearing on the home screen?
I hate it when I'm showing someone something on my phone and a message pops up! I'm just worried one day it'll be something really embarrassing from my girlfriend or something haha
PYSL (available for free on Cydia) does an excellent job of this. I can't speak for the other apps, but PYSL enables me to have, as the only indication of a new SMS, an increase in the number of new messages on the SMS badge. No buzz, no sound, no popup.
THis is the only thing for which I use PYSL, so i can't speak to its extended functionality.
