Popup Blocker Updated for iOS5!

[Massie]

Huge news for jailbreakers: David Ashman (LockInfo dev) has updated his Popup Blocker for iOS5. Out now on his beta repo: http://apt.dba-technologies.com/beta/

Installing now; I'll report back if there are issues...

 

[BLiNK]

holy crap! installing now too!

i see the version # has changed but there are no new notes in the changelog. i'm assuming he just hasn't added them yet?

 

[Massie]

Yep. Same thing happened with Clock Hide.

 

[Massie]

You know what I'm going to be loving with this? Being able to have just Messages+ give me a lockscreen popup, but then to also be able to dismiss the popup with the home button. No more going into ISX to clear them!

 

[BLiNK]

can this be achieved now? or when the stand alone version of M+ is out?

Right now I have Popup Blocker enabled for the lockscreen, and it's working great. I've got SMS alerts allowed in the PB settings, but didn't touch anything in the "Exceptions" section. So basically Messages+ is just using the native SMS settings, but the popup gives me Messages+ Quick Reply when I use the Slide to Reply option. Everything else is blocked at the Lockscreen. (You can see below that I got a statusbar icon for my email, but I didn't get a LS popup for that, only for the SMS. You can, however, set it to wake the LS when an alert is blocked, which is what I think you wanted, right?)

But if I didn't want to reply to that, one tap of the Home button makes it disappear. Awesome.

 

[BLiNK]

^ Awesome indeed! however, i am unable to block notifications still. they all are showing up on the LockScreen working with configurations now..

 

[BLiNK]

nope. not working.. that sucks

 

[Massie]

That's a drag, hopefully he'll get an update going if there are other reports...can you at least dismiss them with the home button?

 

[BLiNK]

yes, dismiss works on the native LS. but that's it

wondering if it's a 5.0 vs 5.0.1 issue?

 

[Massie]

No, I'm running into issues too. Can't get the Wake on Alert working without a popup showing.

 

[BLiNK]

great now i'll be refreshing Cydia changes all night! lol does Ashman tweet when an update is out?

 

[Massie]

He's usually pretty good about it. I'll keep an eye out too. I wonder if it could be an ISX conflict...not blocking popups seems like a big oversight for something called Popup Blocker.

 

[BLiNK]

i just removed ISX and tried without it. same results, very odd

 

[Massie]

Really odd. Hope it gets sorted soon.

 

[BLiNK]

i see LockInfo (Official) is due out anytime, if not now. hopefully Popup Blocker soon??

 

[BLiNK]

i asked Ashman how progress was coming along with this, via twitter, and he responded with "Not much right now"

 

[Massie]

That's a drag...I still can't figure out why he released an update that doesn't do the ONE thing it's supposed to do.

On a better note, I think OpenNotifier will be updated before long...
