I always felt BiteSMS was buggy and made my system lag. The other reason I got rid of it was because whenever you tap on it from any lien page where it launched the bubble - when it arrives over in the app itself it erases everything you've typed up to that point. I loved the way it looked and what it could do - but BiteSMS seemed "not ready for prime time" yet. Too many bugs.
I know exactly what you mean.
Bite had those problems in 2 versions.
It's all fixed now. Works flawlessly. The app launches smoothly, quick compose launches faster...anything I type into QC that I don't send always is there when I reopen QC again.
Ever since about 2 betas ago it has been working great..the built in theming support is amazing.
The tweak actually comes with 5 themes. No WinterBoard dependancy...just open bite's settings, tap Themes, then tap Apply. As soon as you tap Apply, the app closes then launches by itself again..with the selected theme activated.
The themes are "almost" flawless. They cache fully only after a few launches of the app. That means you don't see the default theme when it's first loading for a second....it's always themed.
So far I have only found one bug...that is when you have a theme activated..then tap Edit..the conversation list shows a white box around the words. Just reapply the theme and it fixes it. But this is just the beta...do surely when it gets public and takes 6.2's place it will work fine, and probably have more themes to choose from.
If you think biteSMS is buggy then it MUST be mildly conflicting with something...because bite does not lag, slow the device down, have a lot of glitches or anything like that.
On that note were you using the public version that is in Cydia? That would version 6.2.
The beta version is 6.3.6.
And besides...the developers of biteSMS give absolutely excellent support.
If you find any real major bugs in bite, all you have to do is replicate the bug, email the syslog..and the Devs will reply...couple days layer...the bug is fixed.
BiteSMS is literally perfect compared to other messaging tweaks....I know the current beta is anyway.
The beta is from this repo: cydia.bitesms.com/.
