Now that Customize is available via Cydia, I deleted the Customize.app file I had installed via SSH and installed it through Cydia (which I recommend doing so that you will see all the updates for the app). Before I manually deleted Customize, I reset my iPhone back to stock. When I installed Customize through Cydia and then opened the application, I did get a pop-up saying that it was unable to reach the Customize servers. However, their entire website is down so that is just a temporary error until their servers are back up. Besides that, Customize worked great. The app opened the first time I opened it and I was able to change my dock, system strings, battery…etc with no problem. Once spicychicken’s servers are back up…you will be good to go! Time to start customizing!
Note: You will not be able to use the Theme Browser until their servers are back up.

BTW, what is in Cydia so far? Is it worth upgrading yet? Anyone?
Brooke reply on July 29, 2008:
IMO - no…but, the is just my personal opinion.
aalan reply on July 29, 2008:
I already upgrade my phone! And I think is worth it cause is like back in the day where we
Could actually count the apps that were in installer and then new ones kept poppiing out! LOL
ConfusiousNeverHadAniPhone reply on July 30, 2008:
Is it worth it, sure is (sorry Brooke). I just like to feel in control of my own iPhone and Cydia at least gives me some stuff to play with for now.
tonyc311 reply on August 2, 2008:
I agree with Confucious. I feel more in control of my phone that I paid money for versus Apples total control. I Pwned my iphone3g today and got cydia. I’m used to Installer. But that’s ok. I like being in control of my iPhone. Customize here I come!!!
Ariel reply on August 13, 2008:
Yes it is it opens up a whole new world to things u can do to your iphone i fully recomend it
July 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Oh yeah customize is in cydia!

July 29th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
a customize tutorial in the future?? I just manually change a lot of this stuff. The app looks more confusing to me. I liked danimators version.
[Reply]
Philip Scherer reply on July 30, 2008:
It isn’t confusing at all.
Stupid? LoL
dominickc reply on July 31, 2008:
see my phone. It was done manually. previous versions of customize were better laid out in my opinion,
July 29th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
oh well, so much for customize releasing, cuz now we cant use it!!!!
lol
any clue when the servers will be back up?
[Reply]
Brooke reply on July 29, 2008:
It looks like the servers are back up now!
Jon reply on July 29, 2008:
nope, servers still say down.

Still down now

how to openssh for the 2.0 and put our own icons and stuff…???any body know how? i really miss openssh and summerboard…
[Reply]
WaitWhat reply on July 29, 2008:
Agreed. Though I’m psyched about Customize being released. Now all I need is for the Video Recorder to be released and maybe, just maybe, I’ll upgrade to 2.0. Of course now there’s Flixwagon for 1.1.4 which is really cool too…
I’m beginning to think a jailbroken 1.1.4 is the optimum iPhone for the time being. Particularly considering the horrible reports on the 3g battery life.
Fird reply on July 29, 2008:
It’s the same way as 1.1.x. Just install OpenSSH from Cydia, and connect to it as normal. Root password is still the same anyway
Phil, Washington, DC reply on July 30, 2008:
I have a 3G and I do a couple of things for battery issues:
1) at work I plug it in..wall charger
2) in the car I plug it in..lighter charger
3) at home I plug it in my Mac.
If I travel, I purchased the “Kensington mini battery Pack and Charger” on the plane I was able to watch two full length (2+ hrs) movies and listen to music and have 50% strength left over. (DC to San Fran flight)
So I never run out of juice..also when you are not using the 3G stuff, turn it off in the settings..cruise with the EDGE network until you need faster speeds.
Seems like alot but, I been doing most of this for a year now.

woah! I asked for an article on customize, and I got 2. This is why I love this site. IDK if i’ll get lucky again, but an article on w.e this springroll thing is would be GREAT..
[Reply]
July 29th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Yes, will we be able to change the themes (icons and home wallpaper) by using this? I don’t want to download it for nothing. Thanks!

This is the only reason why i Jailbroke my IPhone… and i just wanted to say this website is great, helps me keep up with new applications from cydia
[Reply]
July 30th, 2008 at 12:18 am
mmm. i think its great but….ITS VERY LAGGY RIGHT NOW…maybe its because of there servers, hopefully it will get fixed very soon.

Cydia is for the new 3g iphone (jailbreak) or just for the 1st gen Iphone ?
[Reply]
aalan reply on July 30, 2008:
is for both as long as they’re jailbroken
July 30th, 2008 at 12:28 am
You can’t change wallpapers with this.
And now its not supporting AppStore apps for icon change.

If they get iZoo ported I will probably upgrade. It is the game I play the most and would be fun to play with all the other 2.0 stuff.
[Reply]
lng0004 reply on July 30, 2008:
iZoo is a CLONE (aka rip-off) of Bejeweled. And I believe Bejeweled 2 is already available on Appstore.
pdxDavid reply on July 30, 2008:
Oh cool. Is it free? I don’t mind clones or rip-offs as long as they are free. Doesn’t mean I condone stealing or cracking. If there is a free alternative I am going to use it. I am fiscally responsible like that.
July 30th, 2008 at 1:33 am
Brooke i have a question ( as usual ) lol
Is all this being done on your new 3g iphone or on the first generation iphone that has 2.0 firmware ???

Can I use my old themes?
[Reply]
July 30th, 2008 at 3:24 am
guys I doubt is the place for troubleshooting but can anyone help?
when i try to ssh into my iPhone (jailbroken 2nd gen) the initial key verification is failing…I get the following (strings of Xs are from me of course):
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/xxxxxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/xxxxxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts:4
RSA host key for 192.168.1.xxx has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
[Reply]
Andres reply on July 30, 2008:
You probably have SSH’ed before under 1.1.4, so you already have a key identifying this phone, except, the phone is different now. So, your key is failing. Delete the known host file in your computer, and then SSH again, and you will be all set. In your case - /home/xxxxxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts
adamg reply on July 30, 2008:
Andres thank you, you’re exactly right…i deleted contents of the host file and now able to get in fine. incidentally, after doing that I ssh’d to roo@IP and it gave me a no route to host. then I ssh’d to only IP, said yes to keys, but then got denied at the passwords. then i ssh’d again as root and now i’m in. thanks for the quick reply and tip.
July 30th, 2008 at 3:26 am
it /is/ very slow.. and doesn’t seem to offer any summerboard settings..

Of course it is worth it to upgrade to 2.0 because of the 1000 apps and cydia and soon to have installer. What more can you ask for ?
[Reply]
July 30th, 2008 at 6:20 am
is there like an online list for the apps on cydia (or installer) that r 2.0 compatible that keeps updating? i have 114 and do not want to upgrade to 2.0 until must-have apps like vnotes, wetools, iphysics, band, fring/agile, tunewiki, pocket touch are available!!.. also, is there like a list for the app store as well?..

It’s very odd, when I install this via Cydia, it just doesn’t show up (icon) on the Spring Board. I can see in Cydia though that the Customize.app has been installed. I’m trying my third reboot, but still no avail. Has anyone else had this problem?
[Reply]
July 30th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I’m loving it… I missed my buuf2 theme, Ok, it’s not all there yet. but to be able to customize your iphone to the way you want it, Hey that’s priceless. I feel it’s very easy to use, and when the server is back on line Oh Ya!!! Good times (p.s.) I love your web site I’m here everyday, keep up the excellent job you two are doing…

Why is it that every time I launch Customize, it asks me to create a new account? I’ve made several already just to be able to use the app.

I’m in the same boat… Really annoying that the create account is all I can do.

Help anybody.
I installed Customize on my 3G, and it opens okay, but then it asks to create a new account. So I fill in my particulars and it rejects my input telling me that my email address is no good?
Any suggestions?
[Reply]
MarcoMan reply on August 12, 2008:
Did you signup for Customize before? If so go to http://customizeapp.com/. Then take a look at your profile and make sure everythings correct. If you are using a new iphone since then I believe you will also need to update your serial as well.
Michael reply on August 18, 2008:
I checked customizeapp.com, and everything looks good. They asked for the S/N of my phone, which I entered. But I still get that stupid rejection of my mail account. I don’t know of another person this has happened to.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Everytime i install a image etc and apply it it never shows up. Example Liquid Battery i put in a file and when i go 2 apply it its not there.
Whats going on?
[Reply]
James reply on August 14, 2008:
I have the same issue, I think it is to do with some kind of time out while downloading the images from the servers. I’ve had constant issues with customize lately.
But even the website takes ages to load at the moment.
