iPhone 2.0 and Caller ID

I have been using iPhone with 2.0 update since dev-team released Pwnage Tool 2.0 last Sunday.

So far, I’m loving it. AppStore truly revolutionized the mobile experience.

Despite all the goody goody feeling, I still have gripes about iPhone 2.0.

a. Can’t use the Installer.app till version 4.0 comes out.
b. No iLog version for iPhone 2.0, can’t manage my call log.
c. No iSMS or WeTool for iPhone 2.0, can’t forward SMS nor contacts
d. No AppSupport patch, no caller id recognition with international numbers.

I can probably live without (a) since there’s AppStore now but (b) and (c) is rather important unless Apple decides to include that in next update but I need it now.

As for (d), it is simply a huge hassle not being able to recognize caller id. Fortunately, after poking around the root folder, using DiskAid, I have found out that Apple has moved the AppSupport framework to PrivateFrameworks folder and more importantly, tweaks can be applied very easily to support caller id from unsupported countries, like mine, Malaysia.

Get hold of CyberDuck, DiskAid, WinSCP or whatever you fancy, goto folder :/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppSupport.framework/ and copy the PhoneNumberTemplates.plist file to your desktop. Make sure you make a backup of that file.

 

Using Property List Editor, add new entry as “my” like the pic below: (click to enlarge)

save it … replace it with the original in 

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppSupport.framework/

otherwise, you can download it at me.com

reboot your iPhone… and be happy with it… 😀
