Want to change the name of your iPod? The first time you ran the iPod Setup Assistant, you were asked to name your iPod. But many people are so excited to use their new iPod that they blow right past this step. So what should you do if you want to change the name of your iPod?

I thought this was pretty self explanatory, but if it helps people out, cool.

I saw this article before and i want to share with all on how to rename ipod applications
Lets begin!
* = see footnote
What you need:
an iPod Touch/iPhone
SSH client such as WinSCP
An application you want to rename.
A text editor
1. SSH into your iPoT/iPhone and find the folder of the application you want to rename. It will be in /Applications.
2A. Open the folder and find "Info.plist"* You will most likely need to convert this file into a readable format. You can do that at this site:
Convert Apple Property list from binary to text XML
2B. Take the converted file and sae it to your desktop. Make sure it is called "Info.plist" and overwrite the old Info.plist in the app's folder with the new one.
3. Open the file in the text editor of your choice.** I chose the app Agile Mobile (a great instant messaging app, i recommend it to everyone). My Info.plist looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>en</string>
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>am</string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.agilemobile.agilemessenger</string>
<key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
<string>0.1</string>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>Agile Messenger</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>APPL</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>0.0.1</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0</string>
<key>SBUsesNetwork</key>
<integer>3</integer>
</dict>
</plist>4. To rename this application, we will insert two lines of code between
Code:
<integer>3</integer>and
Code:
</dict>.
Add these two lines:
Code:
<key>UIRoleDisplayName</key>
<string></string>5. I want this app to be called SMS, so mine looks like this
Code:
<key>UIRoleDisplayName</key>
<string>SMS</string>You can put whatever you want between <string> and </string>
6. Save this edited Info.plist and overwrite your old one.
7. Restart your iPoT/iPhone and you're done!
Note: This will only change the name that is displayed on the Springboard, below the app's icon. It will not change anything else.
Footnotes:
*The "Info.plist" contains information about the application.
**If you are using WinSCP, after you save the converted file and overwrite the old one, right click on the file in the app's folder and click "Edit". A window will pop up and you will see your Info.plist, all nicely organized. TO save, just click the "save" button.
