as above, confirmed and confirmed again. Install BiteSMS after SpringBoard restarts App-Store apps will no longer work. Uninstall BiteSMS and App-Store app work once again, is this a bug in BiteSMS or Apple adding to the Blacklist ????

I can confirm this, apps from appstore do not work after installing bitesms!!!! Please bug fix! THX

biteSMS does not work on Firmware 2.1, we’ll look at it Monday, and try and get the fix out on that day.

Damn, this is a shame, I was hoping to update to 2.1 today, but I think I’ll wait if it’s unsupported. Wonder where this problem lies. If it’s confirmed not working, then I won’t bother until it works, BiteSMS and intelliscreen are my two most important programs. I’m sure it probably already is, but make this a priority Martin, I really want to update to 2.1 ASAP :)

Well you can, but you’ll need to comment out the dylib loading in the SpringBoard (see other posts on this subject) until we issue a fix.

Thanks for your comments Martin, glad to see you’re taking an interest in the issue. I downloaded 2.1 and PwnageTool earlier today, but haven’t had a chance to muck with them. I’d prefer to wait until you guys issue a fix, rather than editing stuff manually. If that’s what it takes, I’m up for it, not until tomorrow though. Hopefully by then you guys will have worked out the issue & issued that fix :)

Keep me in the loop, happy to do any testing required, as long as I have your guarantee that I won’t lose my SMS.

While I’m on the topic, is there a way to back them up? I don’t trust iTunes enough, I want a manual copy… Short of forwarding all 200 to another phone, what options are out there?

Well you can just copy the sms.db off the iPhone.

I backup my sms.db manually…

I use DiskAid to access my iPhone via USB and transfer files from/to my iPhone. :)

@ Martin
Lol, is it really that simple :)?! Just a simple copy/paste of a file via SSH (Cyberduck is my client of choice, just FYI). Is this sms.db file readable on my Mac somehow?

Cheers, look forward to the news about 2.1 compatibility tomorrow :)

@David:

If you have a Mac, open op Terminal, navigate to the dir that contains sms.db, and type:

$ sqlite3 sms.db
SQLite version 3.4.0
Enter ”.help” for instructions

sqlite> .tables
_SqliteDatabaseProperties message
group_member msg_group
sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> select * from message;
[your SMS data in columns]
sqlite> .quit

It could be that you need xcode installed in order to use sqlite3, im not sure. But its worth a try :)

Yes David, it is as simple as this. You can use on Mac the app Sqlite Database Browser (free) to browse the sms.db database.
No need xcode or anything else.

@Xandrios:
What exactly are these instructions doing, copying the sms.db from my iPhone and modifying it somehow? Taking into account fabkk2002’s post below, I’m a little confused as to the correct route to take. Certainly don’t want to muck up my sms.db… :)

biteSMS is now OK with Apple Firmware 2.1, see http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/6/topics/199
