MessageBox

Breaking Facebook's Chat Heads out of the iOS Sandbox

Intro

MessageBox is a jailbreak extension for iOS that allows users to use Facebook Messenger's Chat Heads system-wide in iOS. Currently this only works in conjunction with Paper and iOS 7.

The Verge approves! :P

For more technical info I did a blog post as well!

The original hack has been deprecated and will no longer be supported, however back-porting a lot of this to iOS 6 shouldn't be too difficult (for those of you still on iOS 6).

How do I MessageBox?

Open Paper, wait for everything to appear, press the Home button. Magic! :D

If you open the app and close it super quickly, you're going to have a bad time!

Price?

Totally free! If you'd like to support my continuation of this project (and others!), feel free to donate! It'd be much appreciated :D

How do I get?

It's on Cydia under the BigBoss repo!

How do I compile?

@DHowett was very sad when he realized I didn't use theos for my initial version of MessageBox, and seeing as how it's now the suggested route for Cydia Substrate so I've switched to that (though, I'm using @rpetrich's fork since it's nicer for working with universal builds).

Once you've got that setup, (nice writeup here) change the Makefile to your liking. After that simply run:

THEOS_DEVICE_IP=<your ip here> THEOS_DEVICE_PORT=<your SSH port here> make package install

License?

Pretty much the BSD license, just don't repackage it and call it your own please!

Also if you do make some changes, feel free to make a pull request and help make things more awesome!

messagebox's Issues

No lock screen notifications

There doesn't seem to be any lockscreen notifications. I've got them turned on but none come through so I don't know if I've been messaged until I unlock the screen.

Iphone 4 problem

The bottom of the box ui gets cut off on iphone 4.. So its hard to push the "write a message" box, the emoji icon, and attachment icon.

iPad Support

This'll come with adding Facebook app support

Chat heads appear behind app icon

The chat head appears to be at the back of my homescreen including behind the app icons and the blurred dock.i cant use it on the home screen.

iPhone 5s on 7.0.4

notifications

if the phone isn't unlocked, i don't get any notification at all on new messages on lockscreen.. kinda sucks. and i don't get any vibrating notifications ever, not when locked and not even when unlocked.

View Controller off screen for some reason

The view controller is 20px off screen (I'm assuming it's 20px, as it's always 20px with view controllers.)
Likely an iOS6-7 compatibility thing either you, or fb did to compensate for the new status bar thing-y. Good luck!
Also related: may be an encoding issue but women don't make any sense.

Edit: forgot to say, running 7.0.6 on an iPhone 5, if the device matters. Also this isn't my conversation. Just saying!

Refactor again, but nicer

Far too much copy paste, but I'm going to see how this pans out... might be easier if facebook's messenger modules change drastically between both apps.
