[Problem][I3G 2.2][Springboard] - How to modify date format?

**bwab** · 01-06-2009 01:44 PM

I have a quick question regarding date format in springboard.
I just spent two hours researching this topic, but came to a dead end.

Up until firmware 2.1 I was using United Kingdom as region format, and now with 2.2 Croatia is available.
However when I select Croatia date language and format changes to Croatian language, which I do not want on my phone, I'd rather have English.

I researched a little bit and it found that .GlobalPreferences.plist references AppleLocale as "hr_HR" however I cannot find anywhere on the iPhone files for that locale so that I can edit them.

Does anyone have an idea how this would be possible to achieve?
Thanks in advance!

You easy solution is in the thread I opened a while ago:
http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/show...=unlock+locale

You should use en_CR, and bingo : the date will be in English, and the phone number format in Croatian!!
Just follow the steps I recommended in the thread: it should work!!

Enjoy!

Doco...you are AWESOME!!!!
It worked like a charm...thanks so much!

I sent a positive rep your way!
Thanks again...that was a nightmare.

Btw...en_HR was the correct setting...HR is international for Croatia.
