iLog -- great new app!

[MileHiPhone]

I just found this on MMI and added the source to installer, installed and its great! This is what the Recents function on the phone app should be like. This will give you a list of calls by contact, dialed, missed, received, plus call dates, durations, etc.

Add http://iphone.ileks.com to installer and look for iLog. You won't be disappointed.

Here is the website for more info: http://iphone.ileks.com/iLog.htm.

Excellent. Thank you!!

How do I install it ???

[overbo0st2k4]

How do I install it ???

It's on Installer as well...

[dichertz]

Installer>All Packages.

I am sure it is somewhere else, but I didn't bother looking.

Was my answer not good enough?

[dichertz]

Your answer was fine.
I looked first in all packages because that was the first place on the list.

If it is somewhere else in Installer, where is it?

i have used it when my phone was 1.1.2 but now it is 1.1.3 and when i installed it, it's icon didn't even come up on springboard?!

does anybody know any solution?!:gasp:

I have the same problem with 1.1.3!

it does not work with 1.1.3

[emx620]

it does not work with 1.1.3

Yes it does:

I have iLog working on 1.1.3. First install the App. Then SSH into your phone and run the following lines:

chmod -R 775 /Applications/iLog.app


Execute the following commands:
mkdir /var/root/Library/CallHistory
ln -s /private/var/mobile/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db /var/root/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db

Navigate to the iLog dir and execute the following commands.
You can do this by cd /Applications/iLog.app

chmod a+rx iLog
chown root iLog
chmod +s iLog

This lets iLog run as root and fixes the problems of it not being able to alter the call log.

Hope it helps :)

how about those instructions in English? For us who are a bit cpter challenged... How do I acres through SSH? What is SSH? Thanks

You can use Cygwin or Putty...two different downloads.
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe (http://the.earth.li/%7Esgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe)

Make sure your iPhone is connected to your network. To find your IP address, go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on the network you are connected to. Your IP address will be in there. Use that number for the rest of this guide.

Cygwin Instructions:
ssh root@your ip address here

For me it was:
ssh root@10.4.9.40
It will ask for a password which will be alpine

Putty Instructions:
In the Putty configuration window under Host Name - put your ip address here
Click Open.
Click Yes if prompted.
Put root as the login and alpine as the password. Then go to town with the commands I provided above.

WinSCP Instructions:
Commands -> Open Terminal

Click Ok if prompted. After typing in each command click Execute.

Hope this helps. PM me if you have any questions.

:gasp: I'm terrified about messing with those files through SSH. Is there a easy to back those files up?

I'm new.

Thanks

Yes, through WinSCP, but all you're doing really is modifying permissions mostly.

I'm trying to do this using Terminal on a Mac and can't get it to work. I have the icon and can open the program. However, even after running the commands, nothing is listed under 'Missed', 'Received' and 'Dialed'. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Your problem is probably the following command which moves the call history file. The command is:
ln -s /private/var/mobile/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db /var/root/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db

Make sure that is all on ONE line. It shows on two lines here because of room issues. Does that command run successfully?

Yes - that command runs OK as do the others. After running the commands, how do I exit and do I need to restart the iPhone. Also, I connect the iphone using the cable to the computer - do I need to do this - or are the communication over WIFI. Thanks.

I run it over WiFi via WinSCP but you can use what you wish. I restart it via SpringBoard. In SMBPrefs, scroll to the bottom and click Restart Springboard, or you can manually reset the phone.

I don't have don't have SMBPrefs/Summberboard on the phone. DO I need this to make it work?

No, just do a manual reset by powering the phone off and back on. If you do install it, its very convenient for "restarting" the phone on the fly for installing apps.

This is what I did just now and it still doesn't work.

Hmm...it looks right. You're on 1.1.3 correct? When you installed iLog, you set the permissions to run the program I take it? Do you have AIM/yahoo?

[Kevin McN]

Yes - I am on 1.1.3.

Sorry, but I have no idea what the following mean "When you installed iLog, you set the permissions to run the program I take it? "

No - I don't have AIM/Yahoo.

Did you install this app via WinSCP or from Installer?

[Kevin McN]

Installer.

[emx620]

Installer.

Then it shouldn't be a problem but check anyways. navigate to Applications/iLog.app

There should be a file in there without an extension. Right click that and select the bottom option of the menu, I believe it is file properties or something like that. There will be a permissions area with checkboxes. Ensure all checkboxes in the column with the "X" are checked.

iPhone. When in WinSCP, click the .. on the top of the line for the iphone files until you get to the top. Click double click Applications, and then double click iLog.app. The file will be in there.

Still no luck.

I checked all permissions in the file called iLog. I used Cyberduck.

Not sure then mate. Only other thing I can suggest is uninstalling, deleting the directory and file you made, and retrying.

Anyone----my logs never show a call, dialed, missed or otherwise. Any help?

[Classick]

I installed this and nothing happened. No new icon, nothing in my regular call logs.

I'm on 1.1.4 btw.
