I’ve received quite a few requests on how I was able change my system font to Neo Tech on my iPhone. It’s all done by replacing the standard Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf font in the iPhone with a specially modified Neo Tech font. Please note that it’s not simply a matter of renaming the Neo Tech font or any font you might be thinking of trying to Helvetica. The use of Kate or Font Swap isn’t needed as this is just replacing the Helvetica fonts. Make a Back-up of your Helvetica fonts before replacing with the new ones. Upload the extracted fonts into: System/Library/Fonts/Cache replacing the Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf fonts with the newer ones. Download link below.

Bear, a WeiPhone member has managed to modify the clock’s font on the lock screen. Users of Kate and FontSwap allowed you to change this font but limited you to the already pre-installed iPhone fonts. This method doesn’t require the use of either programs. Download here, extract and upload desired font to /System/Library/Fonts/Cache replacing the original LockClock.ttf font. Please note that you can’t simply replace the lock screen’s font with any font of your choice as the font needs to be specially prepared before replacing the original font.

For those who were too scared lazy like me to try Erica Sadun’s hacks for the springboard from a few weeks back, now there is an even easier way. Erica has posted a pre-made .plist to replace the original file. The modified .plist enables access to the hacks thru the addition of GUI switches in the settings menu of the iPhone. The modified .plist among other things enables you to set a fake carrier, time, hide and reveal apps and also emulate the glossy, mirrored iPod Touch dock.

iComic is a native iPhone application that allows you to read comics, manga, etc… in .zip format. The application is available via the developers site but only with Japanese menus. I’ve translated the menus to English for the people unable to read Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana. There are three different options for page turning. Gravity Page Slide uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to turn the page for you by just tilting your iPhone. Button Page slide allows you to turn pages by tapping on either side of the touchscreen to advance or go back a page while Swipe Page Slide turns pages using a swiping motion across the touchscreen. To get back to the settings menu while in portrait or landscape mode, tap on the upper left part of the screen. There are tons of comics, manga or books in .zip format available on the web so you’re best bet is Google. The files to be read need to be uploaded into the var/root/media/Comic folder of your iphone. The translated menus are available for download below after the screenshots and need to be unzipped. After unzipping, upload the entire Japanese.lproj folder into the Applications/iComic.app folder overwriting the original files.

Hacker hachu has developed a plug-in to enable you to download files onto your iphone via edge or wifi and with instructions from rohtik to allow local play-back instead of streaming thru Safari. Files are downloaded to the /var/root/Media/Downloads/ folder of your iPhone. Download the plug-in files from here and extract. Then upload the files into /System/Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Once downloaded, I then used Erica Sadun’s Sendfile program which scans ~/Downloads as well as ~/Media/Documents folders and allows you to e-mail, share or play the file locally. To test this out, I went to Seeqpod to find a song to download. Once you find a song, you’ll see a screen with a green download button and once pressed, will start to download to your iPhone. Then start up Sendfile and it will list the files you’ve downloaded and you’re now able to e-mail, share or play locally from your iPhone.
