Updated NovaMedia iSync plugin. How to change the device icon again.

Due to the latest Os X update 10.4.7 (containing iSync changes), NovaMedia has updated their plugin.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE UPDATING THE PLUGIN (and even better before updating Os X)

Once the plugin has been updated (remember you’ll receive notification only if you legally own the plugin) you’ll see that the device icon is back to the default novamedia.tiff one.
Although I love the product I hate the icon, that’s why I investigated how to change it in first place.
Anyway…
Now the structure is a bit different, as we have separate bundles on a model basis.

This makes it easier to update an icon, as we can easily identify this plugin

/Library/PhonePlugins/Nokia-E61.phoneplugin

open the bundle, in the directory Resources you’ll find the MetaClasses.plist file to edit and the novamedia.tiff.
easiest way to get your icon is just replace the novamedia.tiff with your device icon (E60 and E61 can be found here) and rename the icon to “novamedia.tiff”.

If on the other side you feel like (me) wanting to make things cleaner, just edit the MetaClasses.plist file using a text editor or Apple Property List Editor (in case you have developer tools installed).

if you need more specific instructions just read my previous post

Now get your hands dirty!
