I guess you shouldn't do this to your phone, then.

word of warning, don't edit these files in nano.

can anyone zip and send me a copy of an unedited /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/English.lproj/vc~AB.strings file ????

please pm me!

Not something I would do but it is cool 😉

Now, if you make my Facetime look like the Warehouse 13 phones I'll give you my first born. 😛

Lol - does it make me immature to have laughed every single time I changed an instance of "FaceTime" to "SexyTime".

I especially love:

"SexyTime was denied."
"SexyTime failed."
"@% does not want to SexyTime." (Or something similar.)

I love it.

Mega kudos to the OP. Thank you, sir.

A high five to the first person that writes a package to do this automatically. I could probably whip one up but I want a program that lets you choose the replacement word. This is a little bit more complicated than a straightforward script but I don't have any experience in writing an iOS program.

To the OP... I backedup my original file "vc~AB.strings" to my hard drive..
I opened it using Windows Notepad (is that right?) and I see this:

bplist00Ó_)PHONE_ACTION_VIDEO_CONFERENCE_SHEET_TITLE_#PHONE_ACTION_VIDEO_CONFERENCE_SHORT_PHONE_ACTION_VIDEO_CONFERENCE_Choose a number for FaceTime.XFaceTime;a¡                            ª

You said to change every instance of FaceTime to SexyTime... does that include the "XFaceTime" towards the end of the line?



EDIT: Does anyone have the files already modded :\
OP PMed me back saying he doesn't know because it doesn't look like that (he's using a Mac).

HOW TO:
Change every instance of "FaceTime" to "SexyTime" in these files:

/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/English.lproj/vc~AB.strings
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Conference.framework/English.lproj/vc~Conference.strings
/private/var/stash/Applications/Preferences.app/English.lproj/vc~Restrictions.strings

Have a sexy time! Thanks for nothing, I figured it out myself! 😛










OLD:
I've scoured the iOS 4 filesystem on my iPhone 4 in search of a clue. I've changed all of my localization .string files to say SexyTime instead of FaceTime. I've tried hexediting MobilePhone and Springboard, but nothing I try will change the word "FaceTime" on anything but the Settings->Restrictions section and the button in Contact video.

I don't know much about how applications work, but upon inspection, MobilePhone and Springboard seem to put "VIDEO_LABEL" in place of where the word FaceTime goes, yet the localization files have to strings for VIDEO_LABEL.

FaceTime is also referred to as "Video Calling" and "vc" a few times, but nothing I try works. Anyone have any better ideas about how to do this? I'm at the end of my wit and only half way to full SexyTime.

The problem areas are:

1. When someone calls you from FaceTime it still says "so and so wants to FaceTime"
2. When I miss a FaceTime call, it still says "Missed FaceTime"
3. The bottom center button shown during a phone call still says "FaceTime"
4. During the initiation of a FaceTime call, the top still says "FaceTime" before "connecting..."
5. In Settings -> Phone, the switch still says "FaceTime"

HOW DO I OPEN THESE ON MY MBP? DOESNT RECOGNIZE THIS FILE.

Don't double click the file in WinSCP. Copy it to your desktop first then edit it with Notepad++ or any other good text editor

 

[milerich]

Can you upload the modded files?

Walking with my kids now, but will upload in about 45 min.

Here ya go, enjoy!

HammerTime files and SexyTime files.

Be sure to back up your old ones first before putting these in there.


ETA: You can use notepad++ or textwrangler on Mac to alter these to whatever you want.

Just follow the directions from TheGeneral on where to place them.
