I have a navigationController-based app. I want to change the title of the back button for the root view controller. I have tried the following code in the rootViewControlle
I've had success by creating my own UIBarButtonItem instead of setting the title of the existing one:
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton;
[backButton release];
