Review of TuneWiki 2.2 (one of the top 10 iphone native apps) iPhone 3G latest rumors
Apr 29

Customize is The app you want on your iPhone, it let’s you change almost everything visual and audible littlle setting you can imagine.

Some of the settings you can change are:

Dock image, Application icons, Application images, Wallpaper, System Sounds, System images, Status bar images, phone sounds, and your in call images.

This is a huge list cause every little section has it subsections.

I’ll show you some of the changes you can make with this superb little app.

1) Before you install the app, go to Customizeapp.com and register for free.

This is no longer needed.

2) Let’s install the app, you can find it in the category utilities in your installer.

3) Now let’s start the app. You may need to enter your login and password from Customizeapp.com

4) After loggin in, you will be brought to the next screen. Here the fun part really begins.

5) Let’s go to the Theme browser. The first tab represents the theme’s you already downloaded.
The new tap are the new themes off course, then the top 40, and last but not least all themes sorted alphabetical.

6) Let’s select a theme. Macish for example. when you click on the preview button, you can see some examples of how it will look on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

7) If you find a theme you like, you can download it and afterwards you can chose to apply the full theme or just parts of it by going to your mythemes and then select apply only…

8) You can download as much themes as you like and then select to combine the stuff you like the most from all themes. Therefore you go back to the homescreen and select customize images/sound.
I won’t take them all as this will take you too long to read. But i’ll give you the heads up.

I’ll give you 2 examples for changing the dock image.

You can really change almost anything you like with this app. Sounds, icon’s, images, wallpaper, and so on.

9) Now let’s change some system strings. Click on edit system strings, then select your language, and start adjusting whatever you like. For ex: If you don’t like the slide me to unlock message, just change it here.

10) Once you finally have your changes that you’d like, you can save that file as a theme, this way you can always go back to your favorite settings. Go to the app’s homescreen and select ‘make backup now’

As for the preferences…. If you have summer board installed, id recommend to be careful. I disabled summer board from within customize and my iPhone got the SPOD (spinning wheel of death).
So be a little carefull with these settings.

Please also remember that Customize v2.0 is still in beta, it’s now at beta 5, and for me it’s perfectly working, but don’t mess with the summerboard settings :)

This SUPER app is available in the Installer.app through the STE packaging source, see our sources page.

Enjoy

If you run into problems, leave a msg and i’ll get back to you.

        Giselle, can you send me a mail so i can add you to msn if you have that. I had the same issue, i was able to revert to a fully working iphone, but it will require that you connect to your iphone via ssh and such.
        mail me at multinova @ iphon…

              To Whomever it may concern,

              I’ve installed Customize 2.0 on my iphone but unfortunately, everytime I click on the icon, the app opens and closes immediately. Would you be so kind and help me with this. I had customize in 1.1.1 and it worked like a charm but on my 1.1.4, I’m not having much luck.

              iphone 1.1.4 and firmware 04.04.05_G.

              Any help would be greatly appreciated.

              Thanks and regards,

                Hi Nas,

                You can try to install the SUID LIB FIX app.
                This might solve your issue.

                    Hi John,

                    Zebra stripes ?? I’ve never heared that before. I think the best thing you could to is to restore. The app itself actually works pretty well since the latest version.

                    If you don’t want to restore, you can always go into customize and reset your default settings, then go to your installer and try to remove it.

                    I hope this helps

                                  Hi. I’ve been searching for solutions these past couple of hours and so far you’re the only one who’s making sense so i think you can help me with this:

                                  - Upgraded to Customize 2.0.0beta10.
                                  - Tinkered with it a bit and discovered i can modify SMB with it. Cool.
                                  - Decided to become a smartass and deleted my SMB Prefs app, thinking it’s useless already since Customize can do it all. Wrong move.
                                  - Now my iPhone is stuck in the Apple logo..
                                  - Tried to DFU and used ZiPhone but it didn’t do the trick.
                                  - I was thinking of reinstalling SMB Prefs but i don’t know how, since i can’t access my phone.

                                  Specs:
                                  - iPhone is OTB 1.0.2, now running on firmware 1.1.1.
                                  - MacBook with OS X Tiger but can use Windows Vista (if you suggest me to).
                                  - iTunes 7.6.2 (9)

                                  Hope you can shed some light on this one. My email address is REMOVED

                                  THANKS IN ADVANCE! :)

Reading up on others enjoyment of Customize, I decided to install that as well. Iphone worked and looked great up to a point, now its all kinds of effed up. Full themes I tried to install and apply dont take effect completely (Some Icons change and others dont. These are not always 3rd party icons sometimes its Safari or Phone or SMS, ect). The lockscreen wallpaper would change, but then if I wanted to make a photo or something my lock screen wallpaper, it wouldnt change.

                                          I uninstalled customize and nothing changed. I tried to unistall Summerboard..nothing. I reinstalled Customize and tried to unistall the themes I had downloaded….I cant figure out if its even possible. I finally deleted every one of my 3rd party apps from Installer and still no changes. I even powered on/off.

                                          Got any Ideas?

I’m almost to the point of restoring my iphone and not messing with customize or summerboard again. I don’t want to b/c I really like it. Any help from anyone would be GREATLY appreciated….

                                                  I am having issues icons, wallpaper, and lock wallpaper. Many of the themes I have downloaded include many icons that I can’t seem to find. My wallpapers aren’t working. I will select wallpapers I want, but they will not apply (even though it says they have been successfully applied). I have even tried applying themes, and nothing. I can change the lock screen wallpaper but the original backup is stuck as a lock screen wallpaper that I downloaded a while ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                                                    Adam Try going into smb Pref and adding “customize” as your theme.. then change it again in Customize.

Is there any way to fix it; i tried uninstalling, to no avail. thanks a lot!!
