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…
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.
Thanks bro.

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 i cant seem to uninstall the customize icon my phone doesnt eve show it in installer also i have a vwallpaper icon on my phone that wont let me uninstall that either, strange.. people are saying bad things about this app and i am very impulsive so i downloaded it the 1st time i saw anything about it, but now i want to eliminate it, its cool but pointless like many apps are and also my phone is now running the 1.1.4 and im getting zebra stripes when i power it on and can only come to think that it has something to do with this customize app, helllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppp please
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
i had zebra stripes too…. i restored and zebra stripes went bye bye… lol
i jailbroke again and no zebra stripes…. i thought that it was just a bug from jailbreaking
Have i to uninstall Summerboard ? Customize is better than SB or Customize is a solo soft ?
So, i have uninstall summerboard because when i set a theme from customize, i dont have a wallpaper, but, i still dont have a wallpaper !
how to fix ? ^^

I reinstall summerboard and into the SMBPrefs buton, at the bottom, there is a sentence : “SummerBoard 3.2 (Inactive)” !?
I don’t know how to choose my own wallpaper, even in smb or custo2.0
Hello I’m on 1.1.4 and when i try to install i’ve got the following “Main script execution failed” what can i do about it

thx in advance
does phone zap apply if we are using customize app ??
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!
contact at my email.
Situation is entirely recoverable
Regards
I was stuck at the apple logo when I upgraded Customize Beta 2 to Beta 8 and Rebooted the iPhone.
Had to Restore..
hey I get error coppying files can u help please
hi, how did u get the five icon dock?
HI Saeed, It’s with Kate (the app Kate)
I jailbroke my 1.1.4 and installed summerboard and loved it. The themes would change back and forth and so on with out any issues. 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 can’t believe I’m still reading about this LOCKSCREEN WALLPAPER problem.
Here’s the easy way.
download WILD EYES from installer
this app gives u limited access to your files
Go to mobile/library
scroll down to LOCKWALLPAPER.JPG
Touch and delete. That’s it

CUSTOMIZE SUCKS!!! AFTER I DONATED IT BRICKED MY IPHONE AND I COULDN’T RESTORE IT. APPLE SOTRE HAD TO REPLACE MY FUCKED UP ONE ON ONE OUT OF THE BOX… I’M ON T-MOBILE IN USA AND WILL NEVER INSTALL CUSTOMIZE AGAIN
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.
hey i had downloaded customize and now i cant change my wallpaper can someone help me?

Hi!!
I have been using the Customise App.
I can easily use some of the icon images but I cannot use the wallpapers or video wallpapers…
Could you help me please???
i have install customize 2.0 on my 1.1.4 iphone, and i’m having trouble with the wallpapper, i can not use my own pictures as a wallpapper anymore. how can i get my own pictures as a wallpapper?
Same problem as acmow, but also, random stuff that i try to change with customize won’t change, such as sounds, icons, etc. Themes do not fully apply, if at all, and it really annoys me. Is there any way to fix it; i tried uninstalling, to no avail. thanks a lot!!
ipod Touch 1.1.4 jailbroken
same problem as everyone above, mines on my 1.1.4 ipod TOUCH not the iphone, and although i can apply themes through customize, i cant use my own pictures as the background. please hellp!!
thanks
[...] For more information on what Customize is and how to use it, please refer to Multinova’s previous post. [...]
I have been trying to set a wallpaper for the longest but it will not set the wallpaper downloaded a few from customize 2.0 and they keep saying error copying how can u set them as wallpaper not screenlock wallpaper that works fine
Yep, now can’t change wallpaper.
I installed customize, set a theme, set back to the backup theme it created. Rebooted my iphone, tried to change my wallpaper…wouldn’t change. Tried to uninstall customize and then reboot and then change wallpaper…still can’t
Don’t know what this has done but it’s fucked my ability to change wallpapers.
hi im 12 and for all those who have the customize lock screen probem here’s a solution
completely uninstall everything from customize themes batterys icons and all
Then if u want special things like icons reinstall it but do not install any themes or wallpapers
but
ifbthat dosent work completly remove customize then restore your iPhone/touch
and jailbreak again
it doesn’t work for me
When I first connect it says it cannot connect to theme server when I download and apply it it doesn’t work
I have same issue as slim. Anyone know a fix?
remember u have to RESTORE not reboot
for slim and rudd striker way firmware are u running on because 1.1.1/3 u can have a differnt lockscreen wallpaper from the home screen but on 1.1.4/5 ur lockscreen wallpaper and home screen will b the same so wat u do
change ur lockscreen wallpaper not regular wallpaper then go to summerboard pref and turn off he theme wallpaper but make sure the (advanced)wallpaper is ON
Summerboard isnt out on 2.0 yet is it? Where is summerboard prefs that you mean?
I’m using firmware 2.0 on 3g. Even if i set a new theme, the wallpaper that comes with that theme doesnt apply. You reckon uninstalling customize/removing all installed themes will fix this?
is there a fix for the wallpaper and customize 2 yet ?
Ipod 1.1.4
btw this site rocks !!!!!
Tried the reinstallin remvoing business, doesnt do it. I cba to re custom fw. Just gonna wait around for smb.

I can’t seem to get the themes to apply to my device! I’ve installed the themes but when I go to customize it myself the themes I’ve downloaded don’t even appear as an option to choose from. I only get the default theme. I tried applying the entire theme but nothing happens. Help?
i have this big problem, like i had customize on my phone, and i wanted to take off the lock screen background because i had a chanell picture then i wanted to use a picture that i took from camera but when i applied the original like the backup to my phone it wouldn’t let me set a picture to my background, and when i looked at it the default was just a regular background and i don’t know how to change it, i uninstalled customize but now my wi-fi wont work and it won’t reinstall it back. but i’m asking how can i change the lock screen background to just be normal where i can put my own picture on it ? please help
ok win u use any wallpaper on customize it will completley disable ur ability to make ur pics the wallpaper so to fix that problem you have to restore
And as for the wifi messing up idk maybe it has something to do win your connection but idk
Hope I was helpful miss
okay if i restore it, will i’m afraid that it will mess up the unlocking, because i had my phone unlocked for it to have t-mobile. so if i restore will i have to unlock my phone all over again ? let me know asap
I’m not 100% sure if restoring will undo ur unlocking because I have AT&T so I didn’t need to but if it does undo ur unlocking I suggest just unlocking again
For everyone who continues to complain about not being able to change the wall paper, SCROLL UP. The fix was posted back in June by Dan Walk. No need to restore.
Thanks Dan.
i have a probleem

ok it says unable to decode package way duz that mean and wat do i uave to install
Hey guys -
For those that have the problem with the Lock screen wallpaper not changing, here is your solution:
It is not changing because when you tried to install a them in Customize, it locked your wallpaper. You need to SSH into your Ipod and go to the folder:
Private/var/mobile/library and find the file LockBackground.jpg
It should be at the bottom. If you delete that file, you should be able to change themes again in Customize. This worked for me when I had the same problem.
Good luck.

i tried to use the customize but m icons went back to stock iphone but the background was different and i tried uninstalling it but now m y icons are all different from the theme
hi, whenever i click download on a file for customize, it crashes then gives me an error when trying to apply that file.
