   Check out our SSH page …it might help.

   for mac the program is called “Terminal”
   idk where i downloaded it from so you’ll hav to google it
   srry!

   

   Braden on July 29th, 2008 10:09 pm:

   Uhh, Terminal comes on a Mac…you don’t download it.

   

   iToucher on July 29th, 2008 10:10 pm:

   I use the program called cyberduck on a mac to drop apps in to my touch and change permissions. it makes changing permission within a folder super easy. You just right click on the folder, go to info, set your permission, click on “apply recursively” and you’re set. it applies those permissions to all the files in the folder.

   To run that code from above you’ll probably need to use terminal. it’s found in the utilities folder in applications. type “ssh root@192.168.*.*” (where the stars are whatever your IP address) is. it should then ask for the password. if you get anything about securities just say yes. then you should be able to run that code from above. type “exit” to quit ssh’ing.

   hope that helps!

   In your SSH application, you would need to open Terminal and then just copy and paste the code into Terminal.

   will downloading it from cydia make it run smoothly? or will you have to still put in that code?

   I just wrote a post about how Customize is working via Cydia…check it out!

   

   Douglas on July 29th, 2008 10:37 pm:

   no code needed when using cydia, it sets the permissions correct.

   

   Robert on July 30th, 2008 7:24 am:

   It works perfectly for me. No fancy moves required. No change of permissions. No SSH. I just downloaded it from Cydia, and it was like old times.

   SpicyChicken’s servers are down right now, you will not be able to do anything with themes until they are back up.

    I see that a couple of others are also not able to change wallpaper. Is this a global problem or are some of you able to change it? I’ll be patient if it’s just a limitation of the app at this time, but if it’s just a problem for a few of us, watch out! =)

    I am having the same problem Kevin, also my app store apps are not changing either which was a previous problem before customize.

    Okay – here’s the answer!

    http://customizeapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1533

    “Customize never changed your background wallpaper.
    Apps like Summerboard, FreeBoard, Kate, and someone mentioned vWallpaper… those apps did. All Customize did was work with those apps. So until one of those apps mentioned just above this sentence is ported to 2.0; no one can change background wallpapers. period.”

    acidcloud on July 30th, 2008 8:31 pm:

    So, how long are we going to have to wait for Summerboard to be ported to 2.0? I can’t stand that ugly black background anymore.
17. Astrex on July 30th, 2008 11:24 am:
    

    Only a few things work for me, like wallpaper on the lock screen and battery images, other than that i can’t get anything to work.

    And i wish i understood all that ssh jargon, i use the putty.exe as terminal but even there i get messed up, is there a guide on how do work this?

    For those having issues with Customize, this simple symlink should fix them. Login via ssh and run the following commands

    mkdir -p /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib
    ln -s /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/.
    cd /Applications/Customize.app
    chmod a+s Custom*

    Jon on July 30th, 2008 9:15 pm:

    open terminal and type it in there (on WinScp)

    

    BigDaddyK on July 30th, 2008 10:18 pm:

    Which issues does this method fix? Does the wallpaper work after this?

    

    ikitten on August 11th, 2008 9:29 am:

    basically i have the same problem as the OP. custmize works, but i get the same error message.

    so, do i just login to root@my ip address, and paste

    chmod +s /Applications/Customize.app/Customize_

    or do i have to type run first or something. i dont know anything about terminal.

    You can use Cydia winterboard to customize your themes and carrier image. I am using it with a WINPwn 3g 16gb iphone and it is pretty good. Most of the themes work well.

    Good luck!

    Here goes again. . . .

    I had no trouble at all with Customize on my 1.1.4. Now with my 3G the thing wants to set up an account?

    So I type in my particulars and the stupid thing tells me that the email is TAKEN?

    Is anybody else experiencing this?

28. Chandler on September 13th, 2008 12:36 pm:
    

    Ok, I’ve run that chmod script on my terminal and still Customize does not work properly. When I “apply theme” it shows the little loading screen (saying ‘Applying Theme …’) but it doesn’t take as long as it seems like it should and it doesn’t really show anything on the progress bar. I exit Customize and my phone resprings but only like 4 or 5 apps are changed… nothing with my wallpaper or anything…
    Does Intelliscreen mess it up at all?

    I was able to use Customize 2.1.1 with iPhone 2.0.x firmware however now that 2.1 is installed it does not run. After I install it and run it I get an error message when trying to access the Theme Browser saying: “Files not found, Customize could not find the required files to run offline. Go online and run Customize to update the files” I tried reinstalling Customize by going to Cydia and choose Modify since it’s already installed and ask to re-install. I get the same error message.
    FWIW I went to the TheSpicyChicken.net web site and it’s not been upgraded since July 24 and mentions version 2.0, doesn’t even mention 2.1.1. Their other web sites also are not accessible. It appears that Customize is “abandonware” ;-(
    I know the bulk of Customize is redundant to Winterboard however there are alot of themes unique on Customize.
