I tried to install Customize 1.21 from Installer today and it gave me a warning that it was only compatible with 1.1.1 - 1.1.3. I did a search on modmyiphone.com and found this article on how to install Customize on 1.1.4. Here is how I did it on a PC:
1. Download the modified version of Customize by Skylar - download here
2. Extract the zip file and copy the Customize folder into your Applications folder on your iPhone via SSH
3. Then run the following commands via terminal (change the folder structure if you’ve using BossTool):
/bin/chmod -R 755 /Applications/Customize.app
/bin/chmod +s /Applications/Customize.app/Customize
4. Restart iPhone.
Remember you will need to open Customize a few time before it will work properly.

I’ve got cutomize working on my 1.1.4 phone. I simply used the 1.1.4 compatiability patch available on ispazio, and then installed Skylar’s modified version of 1.2.1 customize. Been working perfectly, and no need to download to computer and SSH. I also installed Skylar’s 1.1.3 iphone carrier image patch as well.

archie reply on May 15, 2008:
just install and uninstall 2.0 a few times. It should work.
March 14th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
As always, if you don’t want to restart Customize a bunch of times for it work, run this list command in SSH:
/Applications/Customize.app/Customize
The app will do its thing, you’ll get lots of lovely output, and once it’s done, press Ctrl+C to close the app. From now on, Customize will open each time you try to open it.
Also, you don’t really need the version I modded, as the standard Customize 1.22 (available on SpicyChicken’s googlecode page) works just fine.

Richard reply on March 14, 2008:
What is the source format for SpiceyChickens googlecode page. I dont see it on the source page.
Thanks
Richard
Skylar reply on March 14, 2008:
It isn’t an installer source. You have to manually download it from here: http://code.google.com/p/customize/

I just upgraded a 1.1.2 8GB Touch to 1.1.4 (restore to 1.1.4, then used Ziphone).
I reinstalled all the “usuall suspects” (like BSD, SSH..), then started looking for a way to use Customize.
Installed the iSpazio patch, then the regular Customize, and it all works just fine (so far)!
I don’t seem to be able to get into the Pod via SSH anymore (previously fine on 1.1.2) with root/alpine (and yes, WiFi and SSH are on), is there anything changed? I always get “error or timeout”..

Hi jenner,
you were correct, I tried again today and some alert came up about something having changed, I clicked ok to accept the changes and now it works just like before! way cool, thx!
Didn’t know CuteFTP kept a cache of the QuickConnects..
And: like for the others, changes made to icons, or newly installed icon packs do not seem to show up?!
scott endicott reply on May 13, 2008:
If your using WinSCP you have to go into connection, and change the server response timeout from 15 seconds to 45 that you take care of the problem

hi, guys i have the program installed and dock background and icon display order. i want to get like 5 icon on my dock. and how do i make that happen? thanks
[Reply]
Brooke reply on March 19, 2008:
The only way we have found to get the five icon dock back is through the Caterpillar app.
Kevin reply on July 25, 2008:
or you could download freeboard from installer. after you download it. you first turn on freeboard, then turn on the five icon dock. but when you want to turn off the five icon dock. REMEMBER to remove the fifth icon. or else your itouch/iphone will get screwed.
Kevin reply on July 25, 2008:
oh yeah sorry, freeboard isn’t really an app. you can access it through customize.

[Reply]
March 20th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
well i have a even faster better way to add the customized button on your iphone ver 1.1.4 fast and easy and no computer needed so everybody just read and pay attention very simple so what you have to do if you dont have it yet easiest way to get every source on your iphone go to sources edit add and put http://ride4.org/shai.xml let it do its thing and then go to folders and scrool down to sources and click on it then add the one that says isntalls 94+ sources etc.. ones its done refreshing go to folders again and go to tweaks 1.1.4 and install compability patch 1.1.3 ones its done go back to folders and go to all packages and scoll to customizedyour gonna install the 1st one ther will be 3 customized options to install from so your gonna end up with customized version 1.21 then its gonna reset your springbored and your customized button should be on your dock so there you go it sounds complicated but it really is not also one thing i forgot to mention ones you click on the customized button it will not work imiedtly so you have to like tap the screen several times but it will work eventually trust me so ther you go try it and be satisfied as i was

I had the modded customize which was working fine on my 1.1.3 iPhone except for the dock image. I deleted the Customize.app and put the 1.22 Customize from the Google code, now I can run Customize but changes don’t stick. I guess I will refer back to the modded version. Is there a way to manually fix the dock issue? I am using BossTool, could you tell me what you mean by “change the folder structure if you’ve using BossTool” ? Thanks in advance
[Reply]
March 24th, 2008 at 4:05 am
I changed it back to my previous Customize.app(modded), and now I can’t get any changes to work still… weird… all the files are 755 for customize and all the extra images are in the right place (/private/var/mobile/Library/Customize) and have the right permissions. Will continue to try to fix this and if I do, I will post it here as I believe many people are having the same issue…

OK, I got it back to how it was… Downloaded the file from this post:
http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27480
I did not want to replace the SpringBoard.app that was included with the package, since some people hung at the apple logo. But do make sure that your SpringBoard.app folder has 755 permissions. Still searching for a fix on the dock issue for the 1.1.3 iphone’s Customize.app…

[Reply]
April 6th, 2008 at 8:03 am
I would just like to inform everyone that Customize 2.0 is available at customize.thespicychicken.com.
It’s been totally redone using the iPhone SDK.
I’ve tested it out, and it works flawlessly. I haven’t had problem with it at all.
Just go to customize.thespicychicken.com and sign up on the site.
There are tons of themes available now.
BTW, the themes available for Customize in the Intaller.app will not be compatible with Customize 2.0. Although, most of the themes have been ported over to 2.0
Go check it out.

Hi,
I am using firmware 1.1.3. Initially customize was crashing as soon as I was trying to open the application. After applying the patch, it is working. In other words, it will not crash anymore. However, changes are not getting reflected. Is there any way to make it up and running? I have not used ssh I can try that as well. But the problem is not with the installation now, problem is “changes are not getting reflected”. Please help.

The only ones that work for me are the one that show the “backup” image as the one I currently have. I can then switch to other ones and back again.
If my current image is not shown in the “backup” slot, then the changes don’t seem to take effect.

After that, I went back to customize but there was STILL nothing in my folders.

Hi. I had a perfectly working customize on my 1.1.4.
Its been working fine for months. I installed a couple of games last night, and now Im stuck with the icons I had chosen a while ago as customize wont open. Ive installed the Suid fix and now like every one else, it is going back to the home page on opening. I have Summberboard too, and even that wont let me change my theme. I can at least get into summerboard and change the theme, but when I reset my springboard, nothing changes. Looks like Im stuck with a theme I dont really like for the moment. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I dont have Winscp but I have iphone browser, and I run a PC. any suggestions would be gratefully tried. Thanks.
