I'm gonna give BiteSMS another go I think. Does using SBSettings to hide the native SMS app the best way to do it?

I actually just bury the stock SMS app on the last page of my springboard but I guess you can use SBSettings to hide it too. The BiteSMS app is on my home page where it belongs since it's probably my most used app, although I can do most things I need to do via quick reply/compose.
