GriP for iPhone, an alternative to popup notifications.

so while I liked GriP, for now I still prefer to use iRealquickSMS so I uninstalled it and I no longer get message alerts (the pop up ones) with iRealquickSMS or the standard apple SMS ones. I get a badge on the Messages app and a sound saying that I got a text, but it doesn't show up? Something residual left behind from GriP maybe?
 
Hey everyone. Don't think this has been posted yet, but I found the .plist file with the MessageLog. :D

If there is anyone out there who knows how to write a springboard plugin (MobileSubstrate) that can work like the modal table in Grip we can write something to access this from any app. Maybe make it work like a part of SBSettings. So you just use it like you access Processes or whatever from SBSettings.

Here's the info:

/Library/GriP/GPMessageLog.plist

In that file, the key parts are:
Code: 
<dict> // Starts Message List
    <key>_MessageID_</key>
    <dict> // Starts Message
        <key>!</key> //For Priority
        <integer>_Priority_</integer>
        <key>D</key> // For Shown Date
        <date>_ShownDate_</date>
        <key>M</key> // For Message ID
        <string>_MessageID_</string>
        <key>Q</key> // For Queue Date
        <date>_QueueDate_</date>
        <key>R</key> // for Resolve Date
        <date>_ResolveDate_</date>
        <key>S</key> // For Status
        <string>_MessageStatus</string>
        <key>a</key> // For App Name
        <string>_AppName_</string>
        <key>c</key> // Unknown
        <string>_Unknown_</string>
        <key>d</key> // For Message Details
        <string>_Details_</string>
        <key>i</key> // For App icon
        <string>_FullAppName_</string>
        <key>n</key> // For Message Name
        <string>_MessageName_</string>
        <key>p</key> // For Client Port Name
        <string>_ClientPortName_</string>
        <key>s</key> // For Sticky
        <string>_FullAppName_</string>
        <key>t</key> // For Message Title
        <string>_MessageTitle_</string>
    </dict> // ends current message
</dict> // ends Message List

Anyone want to tackle this? I'd be willing to lend a hand if you've had some experience already.
 
Anyone using Google Sync and GriP and having weird behavior? I randomly get it to pop up telling me I have 0 new messages. Is this Google pushing something to a spam folder maybe? Does this happen with other Exchange accounts?

@vividboarder, great idea...check this thread

Thanks, I have been busy at work learning ASP.net, but I may even try to do this myself if nobody picks it up... But I wouldn't hold my breath. :p I can't even count how many times I've said "I'll just learn Obj-C and do it myself!"

Thanks for the post though, hopefully someone picks up the idea and makes it! I'd install Grip again for sure. :D

Cmd? What is the location for the add on?

Don't know why he said cmd... but the plugin is on the Google Code page for the project. You download that and install it from Terminal (Either via SSH from a computer or using MobileTerminal)

http://code.google.com/p/networkpx/wiki/GriP

Also, unrelated to the quote, I think I came up with an idea to integrate the GriP message log into an application. I was just reviewing the code for a few LockInfo plugins and I don't think it would be too big a change to modify and create a LockInfo plugin to read the GriP message log and display that on the LockScreen. I do realize that this would have only a limited use for people because locking and unlocking your phone to view the log is not at all ideal as well as there is a lack of being able to execute the app.

I do however, think that this would be useful for those of us who do run LockInfo.

It would be nice to see another app that loads this modal table that allows launching of the appropriate apps. Either as a Springboard Application or (Ideally) a plugin for SBSettings.

Are you supposed to get a preview of the message, all I get is a box top right with the name of the app that has revived a push message
Click to expand...

under grip settings you can turn on default expanded, which will also preview the message automatically like you want. i have it set up this way with the width of 320(maximum) so the message takes the top part of the screen length wise.

I hope he does update it. Push notification handling causes a crash for me on 3.1.2.

WOW, working just fine for me ever since I first began using it probably May or June. I am JB on 3.1.2 and using Push with no issues.

Maybe it's conflicting with something else then? If I have GriP on for push, my phone kicks to safemode. With it off, everything works fine. Also using Notifier. Can't think of anything else that it wouldn't like?

I have it running with Status Notifier, don't use Notifier.

I have no idea.
 
i just installed this today and i noticed that my springboard will always restart when i receive a popup notification. I'm using GriP on firmware 3.0 so that shouldn't be the problem. Anyone else experiencing this problem or know a way to fix it?


*Edit* reinstalled the .deb file and everything is working fine now. I hope the developer will continue to update this because it has a lot of potential!
