GriP for iPhone, an alternative to popup notifications.

It has been requested.
One thing to note: The SMS extension for GRiP disables your audio sound when an SMS arrives and disables vibration if set to silent mode.
Yea, the SMS add-on version 1.1 works great, but I am staying away from the GriP theme until he gets the bugs fixed.
So this doesn't work correctly with iRealQuickSMS correct? I'm not exactly sure what "correct" means, but they don't work together, right? I think I'll hold off on downloading this until they find a way to link these 2.

It shows up for me. Is that because I already had it installed?

hey thanks for the link, i dont ssh much and have used mobileterminal before, can you please tell me how if you have time, thanks.
No need to SSH any longer as it's all doable from Cydia
Install GriP first (the GriP-Growl choice), restart (not respring) the phone
Then you can add the SMS add on and theme (but the theme has a bug, I would stay with default GriP theme until bug is fixed)
hey thanks for the reply. i have the growl for iphone version but i cannot find the sms notification theme. i cannot find it through cydia.
The SMS add-0n is not yet hosted on Cydia
Get it here
Then SSH it in and use Mobile Terminal to load.
Upload the .deb file to iPhone to /var/root/.
Open Mobile Terminal
Type "su" and hit return when you first launch terminal then it will ask for a password
type "alpine" then tap return
type cd ~ ; dpkg -i filename.deb, where you have to replace «filename.deb» with the file name of the uploaded file. Insert filename GriPSMSNotification_1.1.deb
Pay attention to spaces, tilda characters, etc
Someone has to write an extension for it to be compatible with that application. What one are you wondering about specifically?
Here's something new in this version- default expanded option
Have you figured out what that looks like yet ?
From Author
Anyway, 0.1-11q is mainly an issue-fixing release, that include:
Issue 223. You can configure some GriP messages to wake the device up.
Issue 176. An new option so that GriP message can be expanded by default.
Issue 209. You've Got Mail will show the user name of the mail owner, instead of the address.
Issue 168. All apps can be selected shown in Game Mode. The UI is improved too
Issue 172. Multiple push notifications from the same app will be coalesced.
Suspension behavior can be updated properly.
I always expand mine as soon as I get one, so this is very helpful for me, saves a click
I also really like that it'll wake the device up now and that it shows the name instead of the email addy. You can see an example of that in my screen shot too. Here's a screenshot: (before, you would've clicked it at the bottom and then it would've expanded)
