HeySms

SAILFISH PORT HERE

Application submitted to the 2012 Coding Competition

Hi everyone !
I made a small application to send and receive sms on your computer without a specific software.
You just have to use your instant messaging client ... Which have to be compatible with Bonjour protocol.

I made this application because my girlfriend send me a lot of sms when I'm working ...
Now I can answer her without taking my N900 ...

Feature list :

• Send SMS from your computer (using your bonjour client)
• Receive SMS on your computer (using your bonjour client)
• Silent your phone when HeySms starts
• Use Smssend to send SMS. Usefull if you can't send Sms wih standard method. (You need to install smssend package)
• Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable
• Bonjour Bot to control your phone (called 'Controller')
• Controller will notify you if someone call you (Usefull, if your N900 is in silent mode)
• Set contact as favorite... This contact will appears in your active contact list at starting ...
• All your messages/answers are stored in your conversation history...

Controller fonctions :

• help : Show help
• show : Show current active contact list
• search : Search a contact in your address book in order to add a contact in your Bonjour contact list
• add : Add contact to active contact list
• del : Remove contact from active contact list
• echo : Just reply your message ...
• If you have any idea ... I can do it !!!

Mini manual :

1. Launch your instant messaging client on your computer and activate your Bonjour account.
2. Launch HeySms on your N900
3. In HeySms select yourself (your Bonjour name) in the Bonjour contact list.
4. If you are not in the Bonjour contact list, click on reload button ...
5. Add contact in your active contact list (Menu -> "Add friend")
6. You will see your friend in the active contact list
7. Your friend will appears in your Bonjour client on your computer
8. Write message to your friend (in fact, it send SMS...)
9. .... Wait answer ....
10. Receive SMS ...
11. The message appears on your computer !
12. Answer ...

Of course, only the selected bonjour contact can send/receive SMS from/to your phone...

Also, all your answers will be store in the N900 history. You will not lost your messages !
