I have a few apps that have pretty lengthy names. After installing Five-Column SB I realized that some of the apps names would border each other and it just wasn't very pleasing to the eye. So, I opened my favorite program iFiles and set out to find a solution. UPDATE: I forgot I made this post a while back, I've since installed and used Icon Renamer by Ryan Petrich. I'd recommend this wayyy before doing manual edits as its much faster.
Navigate to /Applications and choose whichever app you want to rename. In its main directory, for instance /Applications/MakeItMine.app/ you should see a file called "Info.plist". Click it and hit "Text Viewer", then find the line that says:
(the key might be named either CFBundleName or CFBundleDisplayName)
Change the name in the second line, like this:
Save and close iFile and respring to see your changes. Do not change anything else in this file or your program could stop functioning.
This blog consist of all my iPhone tweaks and research. I try to document things clearly enough that you can easily recreate the same results as I did, should you choose to do so. Please remember that any tutorials should be used at your own risk, as I can't guarantee compatibility in all cases. All information is for educational purposes only. Thank you for reading my blog and I hope it helps you create a more personal iOS user experience.
