[Keyboard] Auto-Correction > Easy Guide to turn it off

[bertolla]

Hi,

Is there a easy guide to turn off the autocorrect?

I read some infos about it but I do not understand how to do it! :mad:

Thanks for your help! :D

Bye

Have you already "jailbreaked" your iPhone? This is the first step. If you don't know how to do it, check out this site: http://www.hacktheiphone.com/iphone_ringtone_installation_windows.html

If you still don't understand what to do, don't do it! The modifications require a basic understanding of the procedures, usually anybody with mediocre computer skills should be able to do it.

As to the Autocorrection feature, here is a ready made Keyboard.plist:

You just need to upload it to your iPhone (AFTER "jailbreaking" it) using iphoneinterface.exe (Windows).
The command is pretty simple: putfile /Applications/Preferences.app/Keyboard.plist
Of course the modded Keyboard.plist from above has to be in the /phonedmg folder on your HDD.

isnt there any way of doing this on a mac ??

[Joe.lipinski]

depends upon whether you have a ppc or intel processor. If you have an intel mac then you can use iActivator to jailbreak and then you use iPhoneInterface to put the file, if you have ppc then you have to wait a little (prob. less than a day or so) and then you can do the same.

not fortunately its an intel mac, is there somewhere a step by step guide for doing this ?

Guys, sorry to say this but READ. I came here two days ago and all the information I collected from this wonderful site has helped me to do a lot of nice things with my iPhone. If you're looking for a "put it in my mouth and chew it for me too" solution, there is one too: again...this forum. Check the sticky messages first, then go with the catchy titles with stuff you're interested in.
There are links available, instructions, everything you need. You just need to read, to understand and to try it out. Sometimes it works right away (if you're following the instructions carefully, sometimes you need to recover your iPhone because weird things happen).

No offense meant but a lot of new threads are actually asking about the same thing over and over again lately. Trust me, you get ALL information you need if you read the forum threads, also go back a couple of days to read the older ones. You won't be disappointed.

Step-by-step:

1. Download the new Keyboard.zip here http://www.netpromo.com.br/iPhone/Keyboard.zip

2. Unzip Keyboard.zip to get Keyboard.plist

3. break jail and run iPhoneInterface and:

4. cd /Applications/Preferences.app

5. putfile Keyboard.plist

Now, in your iPhone go to Settings->General->Keyboard.

A new option will be there.

No problem.

Does anybody knows where the autocorrection dictionary is located? I disabled it (using this thread hack) because I mostly write in spanish, but if I could change the whole dictionary, that would be great.
Browsed via winscp but can't find it, any clue would be appreciated!

If you have the installer.app in your iphone you can go there and then download the package that it have there and once done that look for the something called KB and install that file. Then, hit the home button and you will see the loading icon and your phone will go to the slide to unlock screen. Go to settings - keyboard - and you will see the autocorrection option there.

Hope that help you.

You missunderstood my question (but thanks for the reply) I already added that tweak, I want to know where the dictionary/word database is stored so I can replace it with spanish terms.

Thanks

The best way to turn off Autocorrect is to go to Installer, then go to the category Tweaks 1.1.1 and install Kb. This works for all versions of iPhone software (including 1.1.3).

Once installed, go to Settings, General, Keyboard, and you will see the new option available to turn off Autocorrect.

This of course does require that you jailbreak your phone so that you can install software. If you haven't already done this, go to Safari and enter this website address:

i.unlock.no

(no need for http://) When the page comes up, just click Jailbreak my iPhone.

I did this in 1.1.4 (with application Kb2 and not kb as stated) and it worked.

may i know what's the source for this kb2 application? there is no kb2 in tweak1.1.1 sections. thanks.

[dbu]

Install comunity sources first, to get all the new sources, then search on all packages the KB2 package,

[kcau]

I have just installed the kb2 application to turn off the dictionary and I am noticing that the double tapping shortcut is not working anymore. Even after uninstalling the kb2 application, the double spacing shortcut remains disabled... (even though the "." SHORTCUT setting is on)

[eldiegocai]

what do you mean with double tapping shorcut????

thanks
