SwirlyMMS 2.0.2 and 1.3.2 on iPhoneOS3

[Pags]

So no way to install swirlymms 1.3.2 on iphone v3
Simple no?

Yes there is, you just need to find a deb file of it and install it manually.

What about dependencies? Have someone tried to install it and runned it without issues? (on iphone v1 & 3G)?

As I indicated in my earlier post, the main issue seems to be the notification feature not working showing when a new MMS has been received without having the application open. Other than this it seems to work fine. I have heard it installs using a deb file with dependencies not kicking up any problems. I am currently updating to V3.0 and jailbreaking with redsn0w so will confirm this when I manage to find a deb file of 1.3.2.

Ok, I'm running under OS3 and already jailbreaked with redsnow. But with my 3G iphone i don't want to install swirly v 1.3.2 as a deb file, because i don't want to kill (maybe) my iphone if there exist some incompatibilities between apple's mms app and swirly ....
Keep us informed

Right, I wasn't able to find a deb file for 1.3.2 but managed to find one for 1.2.15 for which my licence is obviously still valid. It installed fine using dpkg and, upon a reboot appeared on the springboard. I can confirm that, other than the MMS received notification, the application seems to work fine on my 2G iPhone running OS3.0. I have sent and received multimedia content with no issues and I have yet to see any stability issues with springboard as a result of the install. So I guess starting the app once or twice a day to check for received messages is what needs to be done unless someone can find a workaround. Sending messages is business as usual.

Can someone possibly provide me with a deb file for 1.3.2?

Why are you guys so angry ???

It's simple, do not upgrade to OS3.

I have bought SwirlyMMS2, and will of course pay again if I'm asked to do so, because it is a great product for those of us who want MMS and are willing to pay for MMS on iPhone.

But I don't want to loose MMS even if it is only for a while, so I postpone upgrading until a working OS3 version of SwirlyMMS is available. And you know what? I will survive perfectly well without upgrading, even if it should take a looong time.

So why don't you guys just stick with OS2, if you find it such a horrible request to have to pay $6 ??? I'm sure you will manage very well on OS2.


Give the swirly guys all the support and credit they deserve for bringing MMS to iPhone!!!!

New hear in the forum... but not new on swirly... I translate for the italian ppl the program... I was reading this post and I feel the need of post my 2 cent about this incredible sentences.

As lot of users had said... every time a new OS comes out there is a week of pure caos through the developers of the third part apps...
You may want to know... how is bigboss or saurik now... program like SBSettings or Cydia not work in the right way with this update... and they work to solve the compatibility problem...
There is also a problem od code signature for the apps..
In 2.0 if you not sign right the app it didn't run... but in 3.0 this seems to be untrue... so there is a lot of things to check.
Here is some program that is not ready for the 3.0:

Backgrounder
BossTool
FontSwap
Homework Planner
iBirthdays
iKeyEx and addons.
iRealsms
irealquicksms
Quickgold
Lockdown
LogoMe
MySMS
Notifier
Searcher
SpringJumps
textreader
SBSettings AutoLock
SBSettings Close Button
SBSettings User Agent Faker
SBSettings Volume MC Widget
Winterboard - Works except keyboard theming does not work.

and you can't undesratnd why the swirly team is not ready for the upgrade... Come one ppl... stop talking about rubbish and let the ppl work...

Here is what SwirlySpace should have done. (I don't care if they are two guys in a basement or 10000 guys in San Francisco skyscrapers)

1. Made a version of 1.x or 2.x that was compatible with iPhone 3.0 - but had no new features. Sold this version for $1 upgrade fee for existing users. I don't care which codebase it uses, probably using the 2.x codebase would be easier for the devs. So essentially a 2.1 "lite" with none of the added BS built in. But whatever - give us previous customers an upgrade path where we don't feel like we are being gouged.

2. Made 2.1 with all the fancy features only a $6 upgrade, so as to not make previous customers pay more than new customers.

That is it. There is no excuse for poor customer service, and there is no excuse for gouging your existing customers. Presumably, some time, SwirlySpace will want to release some other software. And while we may be stuck with SwirlyMMS, we will remember how crappy Swirly was, and avoid any future products.

If they, as developers, want to release a product and charge for it - then they need to be prepared to take the heat from customers. That is true of ANY business, large or small. But if they want to use the "we are just two guys in our spare time" defense - then they need to charge less for their app, or open source it and give it away.

As it stands now, Swirly has lost my money. I won't even bother to upgrade. I will wait for someone to hack the iPhone 3.0 OS to support MMS on the 2G iphone, or maybe by that time I will have enough money to buy a new iPhone.

It is not the $6. It is the principle of the thing...

I completely agree with valkraider... and i will say once more: IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY!!

[castor18]

hello team Swirly!
could you give us a date for the release of SwirlyMMS 2.1 for
OS 3.0?
thank you very much!

[skycatcher]

Hmm, what they should have done.... it stands to say without question that if you posessed the skills necessary to create an iphone mms application you would do it yourself. You obviously don't or perhaps, giving you the benefit of the doubt, you do but you don't want to put in the time to do it. Coding isn't always easy and most certainly causes a lot of headaches and requires time. It's certainly not an easy task making sure it's bug free. If they released a version (look at redsnow) which was not up to par with previous versions just to provide functionality with OS3 then the headache caused by customers who felt that they program was lacking would be tremendously more of a pain than waiting to release a stable 3.0 compatible version which everyone is used to.

You're obviously so upset that you cannot use SwirlyMMS right now because you enjoy using the product, are dependant on it, and benefit from the capabilities it provides you with. Why? Because it's a great product and you know it.


If you want to complain about the pricing scale then do that as I still think it may have some merit. If, however, you come here to tell everyone what swirly SHOULD have done or how you feel that you are being treated unfaily...for a lack of better phrasing...put a sock in it.

Stop being a customer, stop using swirly, stop being able to send/receive MMS or deal with it, just like the rest of us patiently awaiting the next release. Seriously.

Okay, I am not going to read through 7 pages. You are saying that v2 of Swirly will NOT work with 3.0. THEN REFUND OUR MONEY! That is an effing scam! WTF!? Complete bullsh!t. How can you do that? On top of which, how can you tell v2 users that, soon it will work with 3.0 and then all of a sudden take it away? Not being able to release it near immediately, as stated, is one thing. But completely taking it away? That is taking FULL advantage over your subscribers.
