iPhone Software 1.1.2

iPhone Software 1.1.2
UPDATE (2007.11.12): It is now available through iTunes. Connect your iPhone, launch iTunes, and “Check for Update”.

There is no radically new features added in iPhone Software 1.1.2 which is now made available on Apple’s software download server.

iPhone Software 1.1.2 (160.1MB) | iPod touch Software 1.1.2 (157.9MB)

Custom ringtones are separated from standard ones.
PLUS: You can use the .m4r method to add your own custom ringtones to the iPhone.

How to add your own custom made ringtones to the iPhone:

  • You need iTunes 7.5 and iPhone Software 1.1.2
  • Encode the file into 128kbps AAC, smaller file size is preferred. I use GarageBand to edit and convert the audio file.
  • Rename the file extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r”; for Mac OS X “Get Info” the file, then change the extension name there.
  • Add the now “.m4r” file into iTunes, preferably have iTunes to copy the files into the library.
  • Connect your iPhone, go to the “Ringtones” tab, and check the ringtones you want to send to the iPhone.

There is now iPhone battery indicator on iTunes (tested using iTunes 7.5).

Right after iPhone Software Update or Software restore, the iPhone is flashing “Slide to Unlock” in different languages (French and German).

Previously Front Row only available on Macs with Apple Remote and IR receiver support. Kudos to Andrew Escobar for providing Front Row Enabler; to install Front Row for Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.x) on older Macs without Apple Remote and IR receiver support.

Lars Ulrich for Mayor of San Francisco?

The Examiner says that Lars Ulrich of Metallica fame, has the odds of 1000-1 to become the next San Francisco Mayor. Not sure if this is a joke or something serious.

I for one think that Lars Ulrich should run for Mayor of San Francisco. Should he won, he then had to quit Metallica. This is good because only then Metallica can get a better drummer.

Metallica is currently recording the follow up to “St. Anger” with Rick Rubin as producer. The new recording is tentatively scheduled for February 2008 release.
