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
hey rupert, may i know the theme you were using in the picture above? thanks 🙂
Hi Alex! That’s not a Theme. It’s just an old Wallpaper I had.
hey rupert,
Do you still have the wallpaper? I love the colour and the style of it.
So I’m wondering if you can give me a link to where i can download this. thanks !
I certanly do, Alex. Yah, I liked the style very much too. Here, enjoy it.
i’ve made the customize icon invisible along with the rest of my “custome” apps, how do i get them back? please help, thanks
@silence
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.

@323k13l
What’s your firmware version?
In any case, you can manually make the changes without Customize.
http://code.google.com/p/customize/wiki/NamingFormats
Thanks for the wiki, but where do i get to that on my ipod?
@323k13l
Oh, how silly; they omitted that critical info in the wiki. 🙂
All those files goes into the following folder:
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
Hi there,
Marvelous website, well done!
One question: I have an ipod touch and can’t find customize (I don’t have “utilities” in categories actually)…any clue?
ok I have it now with touchrepo.com/repo.xml
thanks anyway, wonderful job 😉
ok I have it now with touchrepo.com/repo.xml
I installed customized, but I can’t have 5 icons in the dock with 1.1.3, is it normal?
@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/

You gotta jailbreak your ipod to get installer. https://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.

The short answer is no.
Jailbreak it and enjoy all the benefits it brings!
Rupert and connor:
If he’s got 2.1.1, it means he’s got a 2G iPod. No jailbreak. Sorry connor.
