Accessing File System

[EdTumath]

Hi all,

The following comes from unlock.no :

Formatting is stored in:

/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/ABPhoneFormats.plist

Download this file from your phone. The file is stored in binary format, so you'll need to convert it to text. Now save this file and open it in a text editor. Change the formatting under us to look like you want (if you find your region in the file, just copy from your region to the us). There's probably some way to just make it use your language (instead of 'us'), but i don't know where you specify that. When you are done changing formatting, save the file and upload it to the iphone in same directory you found it. You don't need to convert i back to binary.

Update for 1.1.1 users: In previous versions locale settings did not apply to number formatting. I noticed that in 1.1.1 it does, so it's better to change the phone's locale configuration instead of changing the formatting manually. The configuration file is called .GlobalPreferences.plist and is located in /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/. Convert it to pure xml here, and change AppleLocale to the locale of your country. This will also change date and time settings, and in theory use your language in any application where it's available (appearantly very few apps)

and explains how to do exactly what I need to do.

Only problem is that I just cannot figure out how to gain access to the file system to enable me to download and upload files to/from my iPhone. I'll also need access to this for uploading NES ROMs.

If anyone can enlighten me, I'd be most grateful.

I've searched but haven't found anything that seems to do the job.

Best wishes,

EdT
