Customize Updated to version 1.20

snap_121203.png
The previous version just doesn’t work on Jailbroken iPod touch 1.12.

Today a new version of Cutomize is released and I have it running smoothly. See? I used it to customize my Dock to have 5 apps. You can have up to 9 icons (yes, they overlap), or none at all. This and other customizations for iPod touch, including re-ordering icons, are now possible in this excellent app.

Go bling it. Installer-> Utilities: Customize

Checklist:

It’s normal for Customize to seemingly hang and then break out and return to the Springboard the first time you launch it. Just re-launch it a second time, and wait patiently (about 30 seconds). It will eventually loads and runs. Customize will load swiftly from the third launch onwards.

    I have tried three sources that list the Customize app. When I added them to my Sources list and refreshed, I got lots of other apps, but no Customize. These sources are:

    conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/beta
    psmxy.org/iphone-apps
    touchrepo.com/repo.xml

    Where can I find a source?

    I get my Customize from the second source you listed above, http://psmxy.org/iphone-apps/ . :) That’s the very popular STE Packaging repository.

    Did you refresh your sources after adding it? Look for Customize under the Utilities category.

    I just checked the version of http://psmxy.org/iphone-apps/ that I had installed and found to my disgust that I had capitalized the p in iphone.

    Made the change and no more problems. Thanks for your help

    Haha. “Auto-Capitalization” can be annoying when typing an url address but is otherwise handy. You can disable it in Settings -> General: Keyboard

    Hi Alex! That’s not a Theme. It’s just an old Wallpaper I had.

    Hmmm… Customize lets you hide itself eh? That’s silly programming. :)

    I think one way would be to uninstall Customize? *Hopefully* it is smart enough to revert all changes to default before uninstalling itself!

    But I think you best bet is ask the author, hopefully he’ll realize the silliness about it.

    What’s your firmware version?

    In any case, you can manually make the changes without Customize.

    Oh, how silly; they omitted that critical info in the wiki. :)

    All those files goes into the following folder:

    /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/

    @x-or

    did you install the Community Sources package or updated it?

    That’s right. You can’t have 5 docked icons in 1.1.3 firmware.

    sorry to post again…I know it’s not a forum…please forgive me :p

    I think that any changes made in Customize are not showing up on my Ipod touch 1.1.3, do you think there is a problem of compatibility? I may do something wrong but what?

    Thanks for your help

    Customize ver 1.2.1 isn’t compatible with 1.1.3, but there’s a work-around. You’ll have to search for it in places like http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/

    @alex
    The theme is the Gee Theme. It’s on another page on this blog

    @codemancs
    You gotta jailbreak your ipod to get installer. http://rupertgee.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/114-jailbreak-ziphone/
    Don’t worry about the March update, it’s been fixed. Good luck!
    Then add: ipodtouched.net/repo.xml and then you can find the modded customize.
