native Messages app not showing badge

[raychelabcdefg]

after jailbreaking and unlocking my iPhone 3GS on 4.3.3, I've noticed that the native Messages app doesn't display the badge with the number of unread messages. at first I thought this was because I chose to have the "preview" pop up so I disabled that and still nothing. even if I ignore the notification and come back later, there is no indication that I even have any new messages, which can cause a problem.

the only thing I could think of is that biteSMS is interfering with it. I don't actually USE biteSMS except for the custom contact text tones. I have the app itself hidden. I could live without it if I had to but I'm hoping this isn't the case.

any ideas?

I had a similar thing with a JB 3G.
It turned out to be a feature I had activated on winterboard, can you delete the bite sms app, I should imagine that its some issue with the jailbreak or a app.

I used to use a tool called iPhone explorer to access the iPhones file system, if you couldn't delete the app via normal methods you can simply remove the file. I did this on a 3GS to remove the game center app. I also used this to unjailbreak iPhones by removing cydia works ok.

If you do follow this route always reboot after and the app will disappear

Hope this was useful
