any iphone users can lend a helping hand?

please read the iPhone Club version 6 thread. I got my solutions from there. Forgot which page, but I just download the file and copy it to my iphone.

Hmm, lucky you that I manage to recover the file from time machine. Please read the instruction. Credit to the original poster.

thanks thanks..that what i need too.

is there anywhere i can do without using iphonebrowser? i dunno y but iphonebrowser indicates that my iphone haven't been jailbreak yet. obviously mine has already been jailbreak since i can use digi and accessing the installers program.

@SHOfrE3zE
Did u use ZiPhone to do all the jailbreaking and stuff? If u do then u need to install the ZiPhone iBrickr Fix under Unlocking tools from i.unlock.no repo. This is to enable AFC2 service that iPhoneBrowser use thru the manzana protocol. I know this is a lot of mambo jumbo.

thanks alang,

patched it already and working well.

guys, anyone can get there incoming sms to show the name? mine only show the name for incoming call, not the sms. so when i change the contact to international format, incoming call no show name, but show for sms.

Hey thx alot bro. Now my iphone is detected as jailbreak. Thx again!

guys, can anyone here pls explain to me how to set the setting for malaysia as describe above? me newbie. thanks.

I need some help too. Im new LYN member. where is the iPhone thread? Guys help us out...

so where are u gonna put the attached file? hmm. it seems no one is answering leh.

taken from the readme.txt which is included in the zip file

/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework

Change the stock ABAddressFormats.plist to ABAddressFormats.plist.OLD and copy the patched one here. Rename ABAddressFormats(MOD).plist to ABAddressFormats.plist. Reboot the phone for the changes to take effect.

@alang,
do u know how to optimize the appsupport for faster SMS loading?

@scared - I have no idea, I just own iphone for 2 weeks. But I'm learning a lot from here and still learning. I read it somewhere on iPhone Club version 6 thread where you need to edit the .plist file and remove other countries to make sms loading faster

in version6 eh? i did browse thru the thread..but too tired to click each pages...i think i missed it! *sighh*

use a software called iphonebrowser. it's a windows based program. so install it to your pc and connect your iphone. then browse as said in this thread.

Worked as per instructions. Thanks guys!

Where to get iphonebrowser? Installer? Or website? or edit source in Installer?
Whats is SSH program?
Help !!!

Awesome work! Thanks alot!

Yeah ... thanks alang for the sollution.

lol frozzbyte, don't hide the fact. You should get a credit for it. I just digg the iPhone Club thread again and found out that you the one who created the file and upload it there. I just reupload it here again just to save everyone time.

Here is the original post btw http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...60&p=16061047&#

So all hail frozzbyte and please edit the title lol, I'm not the one who provide the solution.

No la ... just pulling ur legs alang. Hahahahaha. Actually u deserve the credits since u digg up the thread just to post this from hundred and hundred of pages. This is what a good forumer should be ... always search first to find the answer.

both sifu's

Many people are too lazy to dig threads that's why they ended up asking the same old noob questions.

honestly its not as difficult as they imagine though. You just need to know what you looking for.

guys, any other way to install this than using ssh? coz i dun have wifi, normally connected to other ppl wifi. haha.. thanks.

Use iphonebrowser....via USB cable.


I think we could put this up as sticky, whether open or close for future posts.

Cheers

Yes, as per post #17 on Page 1 by SHOfrE3zE says, use iphonebrowser.

For those of you that don't know where to find iphonebrowser, just GOOGLE iphonebrowser, download it, use it as per instructions and it should work. And with iphonebroswer you can do a lot of other crap, not just install this "Malaysia as an Option in Contacts Address Book". You can customise some themes, install other stuff etc.

That's what I did. Google's my bestfriend in the cyber world

Thanks for this tip!

Thanks Imzadi !!!

there's a bug in the playlist?
i have field to enter a value that is County. what is it?

Anyone tried to pinpoint the location of a contact using Googlemaps after this fix?

Hai guys, for setting Malaysia as an option, i've done as per instruction, but it automatic back to the menu, any way to solve it??

hmm its still same here, or it just me? izzit required to edit in contact?

incoming call no ID, only sms got ID. ive already change the reagion format to m'sia, still same as previously.. zzZZzz

errr gengstapo ... this fix is for the option to add malaysia in contacts. Your problem is more related to AppSupport and nothing to do with region format.

---

Added on May 24, 2008, 1:39 amThis fix is not to solve that. It only adds malaysia in contacts address (since there's no option for it in the first place). The pinpointing thingy only works if u have an US based address ... i think. Try open Google maps and search petaling jaya or anywhere in malaysia (except kuala lumpur), surely googlemap can't find it, what more to say an address here in malaysia.
