Merging the Music & Video icons

Merging the Music/Video icons


This allows you to merge the Music and Video icons into one iPod icon, like the iPhone uses.

  1. FTP into /Applications/MobileMusicPlayer
  2. Open up Info.plist in Property List Editor
  3. Change UIRoleInfo>0>Platforms>0 from M68 to N45.
  4. Change UIRoleInfo>1>Platforms>0 from N45 to M68.
  5. Add a com.apple.mobileipod-MediaPlayer item in /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/N45AP.plist

  6. Note: I can confirm that the above method does work. However, a few little tips:
    If you get the iPod app to show up, but then still have the separated Music/Videos icons on your springboard, go into System>Library>CoreServices>SpringBoard.app and edit N45AP.plist
    Edit the "special" section and add 2 entries for display identifiers of com.apple.mobileipod-AudioPlayer and com.apple.mobileipod-VideoPlayer and they'll be hidden next time Sprinboard.app restartsiPhone iPod Touch

Just out of interest, how does this affect the way the application works? On the iPhone the bottom bar has the button for getting to videos, but on the iPod Touch this is a whole separate application.

If I perform this mod, does it make the iPod app work as on the iPhone?

Thats a bug at this moment, customize doesn't recognize the icon and therefore doesn't show it in the list.
