Add Trinidad and Tobago to your iPhone Address Book on 2.0

I’ll be posting my personal mods to my 2.0 iPhone, first was getting my caller ID working so I knew when my girlfriends mom was calling. Second is adding Trinidad and Tobago to my address book. I wanted to be able to add my friends and work contacts with full addresses (in both islands) to my address book.
Download the ABAddressFormats.plist.zip file here
This was a pretty easy find, and is pretty easy to do once you are familiar with using WinSCP or FUGU (or any other SFTP app), and you have OpenSSH installed via Cydia on your iPhone running 2.0.
It allows you to choose Trinidad and Tobago from the country list when editing or creating a new contact, and from there you get asked for Street, City, Island (Trinidad or Tobago), instead of Zip, State etc..
If you think this should be set up differently, let me know, but I think this works nicely.
Here are the Simple instructions on how to get this file onto your iPhone from your Mac or PC:
- Download the ABAddressFormats.plist.zip file here
- Get your IP address from the WiFi settings on your iPhone by tapping the blue arrow (e.g.: 192.168.100.130) Open up your favorite SFTP app and use the IP of your iPhone, username will be ‘root’ and the password is ‘alpine’ then wait for it to log in.
- Go to the following folder on your phone using the SFTP app (usually the window on the right)
System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookFramework/
- Download the file ‘ABAddressFormats.plist’ to your computer (for backup) and then upload and replace the ABAddressFormats.plist file that you downloaded earlier.
- Reboot your iPhone.
- (and you can uninstall OpenSSH via Cydia if you are concerned with it draining battery or security etc)
The results should be like those shown below. Enjoy!
