How do I restore the iPhone’s firmware to the version I want instead of the newest version in iTunes?
To choose the version hold down the shift key (option key on macs) and then select restore. This will open a window to allow you to choose a file to restore the iPhone with. Your options will be located in the $:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\application data\apple computer\itunes\iphone software updates\ (library/itunes/iphonesoftwareupdates on macs) folder.

How do I get that theme, program, icon, dock, etc.? Why don’t they show up for me in Installer.app?
You probably haven’t added some of the additional sources available for Installer.app. There are many more sources out there but not all can be completely trusted. You add them by opening Installer.app, tapping on sources in the bottom right corner, edit in the top right corner, then add in the top left corner. You can find a list of all knows sources at AppleiPhoneSchool.com/sources. Once you’re done, tap done in the top right corner. Installer.app should refresh the sources automatically but sometimes it takes twice for them to show up correctly.

I’ve installed Customize and every time I open it, it just closes right away…
Try it a couple more times. It’s known to take 3-4 times opening this app the first time to get it to stay open. If you don’t get it to stay open, email me at help@appleiphoneschool.com and I will try to help.
