Though iPhone dictionary keyboard is an innovative word suggestion but sometimes, I would like the keyboard to be turned off so that I would be able to write in my language. Actually, if it turned off, I would not mind. I think I would be typing faster if the dictionary is disabled.

Thus, I googled on how to disable the dictionary for iPhone 2.0. In iPhone 1.1.4 firmware, they have the tweak called KB that will disabled it. But in 2.0, none of it happened to be anywhere yet. The solution I found required SSH to some folder and renaming it language bundle.

The instruction requires terminal to connect to iPhone through SSH but I prefer using Transmit (FTP app).

So, what you require are:

• SSHed iPhone
  (I installed OpenSSH from Cydia. This mean that your phone is already jailbroken ‘ed’)
• FTP App (I use Transmit on MacBook)

Where to start?

1. Open FTP application. Connect to iPhone using IP address with username:root password:alpine
2. Point you FTP browser to /System/Library/TextInput/
3. Rename TextInput_en.bundle to something. I rename to TextInput_en_bak.bundle.
4. Create a new folder with original name which you have renamed TextInput_en_bak.bundle
5. Respring or reboot you iPhone to commit changes.
