Customize on iPod Touch 1.1.4

Getting the Customize app to run on your iPod/iPhone can be a real struggle if you are running 1.1.4 and following youtube videos that point to 1.1.3 compatibility patches that you can't find.

However, after a few hours poking around, I've found a solid way of getting Customize 2.0xb to install and run on 1.1.4 without compatibility patches or changing of filesystem permissions. This install uses the default repositories that come installed after a fresh jailbreak using ziPhone. No extra sources are needed.

Most of the youtube vids are outdated already, however, it is possible to find hints on why Customize.app wont run... Do you get the same symptoms as everyone else? It starts, you see the chicken icon, then its gone again... Running the app by hand from the command line will give you some hints about missing files and permissions issues, it turns out that these locations were not populated at install time due to an suid bug... For which there is a fix.

-- Note: Installing the suid library fix will also solve issues with Customize whereby system strings cannot be saved.

So. Here is the answer to your problems,

Prelude: If you already have a borked copy of customize installed, uninstall it first.

1 - Fire up the Installer.app, go to 'Tweaks 1.1.4' and select the suid library fix.
2 - Once suid fix is installed, go to 'All packages' and select 'Customize' (Version 2.0[x]b (where x is someversion number

Now, fire up Customize...and thats it! You are all good to go..
