this is a bug fix for all the keyboards i’ve released till now..

Neo Keys
Neo Keys Dark
Neo Keys Dark [WhiteSpace]

Download: Neo Keys (1662)
[refer to readme.txt in the archive for installation steps]

Download: Neo Keys Dark (2000)

Download: Neo Keys Dark [WhiteSpace] (1409)
[refer to readme.txt in the archive for installation steps]

the Info.plist file in the theme folders caused conflicts with other theme elements from other themes. so i’ve removed them.. and there were errors in some readme.txt files which have been fixed as well..

the space bar text was not visible in the Neo Keys Dark theme so i made a few modifications.. this was requested quite a bit over at MacThemes forums..
I’m calling this one Neo Keys Dark [WhiteSpace].. can’t think of anything better due to sleep deprivation.. rotfl..

btw.. if you like this keyboard then you’d love to have the MonoChrome theme on your iPhone.. it looks awesome on the iPhone.. that’s the one i have on, it’s got minor glitches here and there but i’m sure they’ll be fixed with time..
MonoChrome is created by Vibestar, ported to 2.0 by DrTaru..

wow.. i’m starting to think that i’m obsessed with having the NeoTech font all over my iPhone…. it’s almost 5 in the morning and i’ve been working on this mod non-stop for the past 10 hours.. i dint know it was this hard to make this particular mod.. it still isn’t finished.. only a third of the images have been modified.. still a long way to go..

anyways..
here are some screenshots for you to feast on while i get the theme ready for release..

oh.. here’s another one in the line of NeoTech font mods..
NeoTech DeviceLockKeypad (916)

looks nice if you’ve installed the other NeoTech fonts [system, clock]..

please refer to readme.txt in the archive for installation steps..

hello again..
aln requested in my other post NeoTech Custom Font for iPhone 2.0 for a custom clock font.. actually i did convert the clock font i had on my 1.1.4 iPhone for the 2.0 fw.. just did not share it earlier..

here’s the Gas icon for the clock.. my favorite yet..

[ this screenshot is not mine.. i've yet to discover a way to take a screenshot of the lock screen on 2.0.. Home+Sleep/Wake just dont work ]
(continue reading…)

well…. i noticed that the cracked apps for iPhone 2.0 have shitty square icons without the effect and shine that we iPhone users have so gotten used to.. made my Springboard look real bad.. i can’t stand that you know..
so after much effort and a lot of coding to automate the process i present to you..
iPhone 2.0 App Original Icons from iTunes
[these are icons with rounded corners and shine. the way they look in iTunes and the way they're supposed to look on the iPhone because after all i pulled them outta the iTunes XML files.. ]
these will definitely make your Springboard look better..

people who are cracking the apps may feel free to use these icons in the app folder before distribution.

hey.. i just updated my iPhone to the 2.0 fw and ran into all kinds of caller id trouble..
this is because unlike last time there’s no Installer yet and the AppSupport Patch is not yet available on Cydia.
not to worry though as these replacement files should set your problem right.

make sure you follow the steps closely:

CAUTION: If you do not know what OpenSSH, WinSCP, root , alpine are or if you haven’t used them before, you probably shouldn’t be doing this anyway..

Step 1: Install OpenSSH from Cydia (found easily in featured apps)

Step 2: Restart iPhone

Step 3: Use WinSCP to connect to the iPhone via your IP address Username:root Password: alpine

Step 4: Download this file iPhone 2.0 CallerID India Fix (590) and extract it to your desktop

Step 5: Navigate to the following folders on your iPhone using WinSCP or FUGU and rename the following files, adding .bak at the end [this is just a precautionary measure, you don't ever wanna lose your original files]

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppSupport.framework/PhoneNumberTemplates.plist

/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats/UIPhoneFormats.plist

copy the files in the archive in these folders, make sure each file goes where it belongs.

Step 6: Restart iPhone

Step 7: Enjoy!

PS: these files have a slight modification from the ones made available by my friends at Bollywood Tadka
these files have support for all fixed, mobile and STD numbers in India, i used files from AppSupport patch for 1.1.4 to get this done.
