SpringBoard.strings file

**reelbgpunk** · 11-23-2008, 05:09 PM

Does anyone have a stock SpringBoard.strings file from a 2.2 firmware iphone?

The file can be found in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English_lproj/ on a JB phone through SSH.

If someone could get me one, I'd appreciate it greatly. It won't take much time.

Hmm, I needed this too,
But when I uploaded it...
It took the calender number off of the icon,
and when you try to uninstall an icon it says
UNINSTALL_ICON_NAME instead of "Would you like to uninstall ___?"
Or whatever.
Help!
I'm like, OCD-ing. ):

Same thing happened to me when I just changed my "slide to unlock" text. I opened up the file with Word and JUST changed that string, saved it and added it. It changed my text but messed up my calendar. Help..

I am on 2.2 Iphone 3G, so only add this if you are on 2.x as well.

to fix the calendar date problem add the following lines in the springboard.strings file. It works better if you are able to read it without the funny characters aka on a Mac. If on a PC use terminal and convert it to plist and then open it using editpad and add it on there.

<key>CALENDAR_ICON_DAY_NAME_FORMAT</key>
<string>EEEE</string>
<key>CALENDAR_ICON_DAY_NUMBER_FORMAT</key>
<string>d</string>

for the uninstall icon label add the following:

<key>UNINSTALL_ICON_TITLE</key>
<string>Delete “%@”</string>

Thanks.

I'm on Windows.
So, can u send me the Springoboard.Strings with the calendar fix?

Upload your SpringBoard.strings file to this wesite, press convert, download the file. Now you have your strings file in xml format which for pc users you can now edit in notepad. Just keep in mind when you edit a string in that file you keep it at the same number of characters or less when you change it. When done upload the file to the same site and press convert, then insert that file back into /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English_lproj/, make sure it is name SpringBoard.strings in that case format or the phone will not recognize it.

Oh man.
It worked.
Thank you times a billion.

**Tazzaras** · 02-03-2009, 08:28 AM

no need to reconvert, the iphone recognizes xml and the plist form, so that last step is not really needed. If you still have problems upload your strings file and i can convert it for you

**thalesrr** · 02-05-2009, 08:20 AM

Ok, so I still need the stock springboard.strings for the 2.2 FW

**Tazzaras** · 02-05-2009, 12:07 PM

if you can upload yours i can convert it and post it back to you

im not sure if these files have any iphone specific information or not

**VesperX** · 02-06-2009, 08:41 AM

anyone know what program i can use on a pc to read the string file more clearly? I use notepad and it's amazingly impossible to read without any formatting. Appreciate it.

**thalesrr** · 02-06-2009, 08:57 AM

Here it is.
Everytime I receive an SMS the buttons says:
SMS_REPLY or SMS_CLOSE.

I not even made any change, just uploaded the Springboard.strings that I'd found here.

PS:U need to rename it to.strings

So, now all the text are messed up. Even de Slide to Unlock, now is AWAY_ something. Missed call is Missed_ something.
Wot can I do?

**thalesrr** · 02-09-2009, 10:47 AM

Who can help me?

**VesperX** · 02-09-2009, 02:24 PM

that usually happens when the original SpringBoard.string file is changed. you shouldn't change the original one. If you want to customize something make a new one and put it a theme folder for use in Winterboard. I'll see if i can copy mine for you to try.
