‘Extended Preferences’ for iPhone

If you are one of the folks wanting to try ‘Extended Preferences’ today via Installer, and can’t get it to happen it, here’s a fix:

  • Download the file from the dev site
  • Unzip it
  • FTP/SSH into your iPhone and rename ‘/Applications/Preferences.app’ to ‘Preferences.app.BAK’
  • Copy the new, downloaded ‘Preferences.app’ to the /Applications folder on your iPhone
  • ssh into your iphone and type the following command: chmod -R 0775 Preferences.app
  • Launch it via ‘Settings’ and enjoy the new tweaks you can make to your iPhone

The chmod command makes the application bundle the right permissions to run. It isn’t enough to make the folder 0775…it has to be recursive (thus the -R switch).
