BiteSMS v6.3 Released Bringing About Themes And Many Other Improvements

One of the main reasons I continue to Jailbreak my iPhone is for a Cydia tweak called BiteSMS. You see, BiteSMS is a powerhouse tweak that takes the stock Messages app and injects it with a dose of steroids. Probably the most widely recognized feature of BiteSMS is the ability to reply to text messages from anywhere within iOS without actually having to launch the stock Messages app. It does’t stop at quick reply however, BiteSMS supercharges your iPhone’s messaging capabilities and really is something that needs to be experienced.

Today BiteSMS v6.3 has been introduced with the obvious bug fixes/stability improvements, as well as a bunch of other things. BiteSMS comes with new themes, a ‘mark as read’ icon in banner notifications and much more that you can read about in the changelog below.

• Check out biteSMS, Settings, Themes…NICE!!!
• Added a ‘mark as read’ icon in the Apple banner roll notification.
• Added the ability to display the contact pic in the ‘Lock Screen Notification List’ (see biteSMS, Settings, More Stuff, Contact Pics).
• Better control of Quick Reply. See biteSMS, Settings, Quick Reply: Lock Mode and Unlock Mode.
• Fixed a whole heap of layout issues on the iPad.
• Fixed up issue with very new iPhones (currently in China) in relation to Emoji character encoding.
• For iOS 5.1: Fixed bug in Quick Compose volume HUD where we were restoring the wrong volume category.
• Fixed a bunch of minor bugs.

If you haven’t updated to the latest version of BiteSMS yet, then you should do it right away. BiteSMS 6.3 is currently available in the BigBoss repository for about $5. That folks is a discounted price at half off for a certain time period, so get it before it goes back to its original price tag.
