International setting for keyboard

[RC_OZ]

Thought I would share this howto for those who needs International keyboard.

The International settings (including localizations, languages, and keyboards) are all present in the iPhone 1.1.1 firmware, but are by default disabled by Apple, probably because development is not yet completed for these features and/or because the iPhone has not yet been released outside the U.S. Nonetheless, they seem to work without causing any issues if you enable them. To do so:

1. Use an SFTP client on your iPhone (Cyberduck, Winscp, etc)
2. Log into your iPhone via SFTP from your computer
3. Copy the file /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/M68AP.plist to your computer.
4. Open M68AP.plist, and change the boolean /root/capabilities/International from NO to YES, then save the file.
5. Upload the modified M68AP.plist to your iPhone, overwriting the original
6. Restart your iPhone
7. Now look in Settings->General->International

enjoy.

enjoy.

i.e. Change the "false" to "true"

BTW, works great, and this is why I upgraded to 1.1.1 and was disappointed when it wasn't there, as promised by SJ on his iPod touch keynote.

[alexloo]

make sure that you have SSH installed and activated
if you havent install ssh, you can install it from apptapp.
youll need to install bsd subsystem as well.
both are located in the apptap>system>

if this helps pls thank me.
thank you

What languages are present there?
Is this method can also show international keyboard for 1.1.2 firmware? I mean the languages that are not yet implemented/finished.

thank you

what is bsd subsystem? i am using windows and keeping getting network error: connection refused

[forsyt]

check if u hav open ssh installed. if not, then install it. you can only install open ssh if bsd subsystem is installed so install that too. next thing u shoul check is if u have a wifi network, if u do check if ur pc and iphone is under the same subnet. check ur phone ip, and use that to connect.

hope this fix ur problem. if not we go deeper. check if ur firewall or windows firewall is blocking port 22.

just tell me if u hav any questons or require instruction on the how tos of the above.

sent from my iphone

I have openssh installed, but noticed that bsd subsystem folder is missing. looked in unistalled and reinstalled it 4 times. It seems like it's not doing anything. Also, i have wi-fi connection and tried disabling my firewall. Apparantely no luck so far. Even tired changing SFTP to SCP

[forsyt]

any one else know why this could be happening?

[alexloo]

forsyt, thanks for your help and I made sure to thank you:

I'm not sure how this happened, but from install > all packages > then scroll down until you see "enable international menu."
> Click install, and all functions including international, region format and keyboard automatically become enable. For others who are curious to know which language, regional format and Keyboards that are available i have listed them below. The phone i'm using is a 1.1.1 firmware out of the box. I didn't have to use winscp to modified files that are listed above. Hopefully for others who had a hard time like me could try this first.

Language
********
English, Russian, Francais, Deutsch, Japanese, Nederland’s, Italiano, Espanol, Portuguese, Danish, Suomi, Norsk Bokmal, Svenska, (the last three i could not make out due to character, Could be Korean, Chinese and i dunno)
