Cui – On My Way

Here it is

Later I m gonna reorder the DisplayOrder.plist, you know, to make the desktop not so fully occupied, after i found a good plist editor/converter on Windows.

Here’s the native apps i installed on my iPhone:

• Screenshot -To capture the iPhone’s screen, you know, to show off
• Lights-Off - A game for fun.
• MobileTerminal – To run some commands locally
• Books – Ebook reader, supports Txt and Html format. In Chinese, Utf-8 encoding, pls.
• Recorder – Usful when you are in the meeting and do not wanna take note by hand.

The apps I m gonna remove from the springboard:

• Stocks
• YouTube – now that it couldn’t work for me in China.

This morning I’ve been googling for a long while for a .plist Windows-version editor, but got nothing. Just when I was gonna give up, I read this from here:

The conversion tool I am using is http://homer.informatics.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/plutil/plutil.cgi/. And here is a much more easier web page for the conversion. iPhone recognizes both binary and text/ascii format of Property list, you don’t need to convert it back to binary.

So I upload the modified ascii/text DisplayOrder.plist to my iPhone.

However, after that my iPhone couldn’t reboot any more. iPhone kept rebooting himself automatically. All that I could see is a flashing Mac logo, again and agian.

Finally, i had to run the recovery    , you know, the pay of hacking..

After a further reading, i knew the author never tried DisplayOrder.plist himself, but only this:

iPhone supports both binary and text/ascii format of these files, at least for these languages files. So you don’t need to convert them back to binary.

Hi, buddie, why not just put these words in your first post?!

Update(Feb.1,2009): If you are looking for a plist editor on Windows platform, try this pledit_10c.rar(via weiphone forum(Chinese), author qlmiao). Or you can also try plutil developed by Erica Sadun mentioned by George Zhu.
