Customize 2.0

From the developers who brought us such useful apps as DockSwap, rSBT, and iStudy, the people at The Spicy Chicken now unveil their greatest app yet: Customize 2.0.

Customize 2.0, a revamped version of Customize 1.0, integrates all of the most revolutionary features in iPhone and iPod Touch User-Interface tweak-ability.  The newest version of this application even incorporates a Summer Board replacement called FreeBoard that, as far as my tests go, works flawlessly. From modifying your wallpaper, to tailoring your interface to be unique, to the changing of system strings with complete ease, Customize 2.0 does it all….without a fuss!

At first boot-up of Customize 2.0 you are presented with an easy to navigate menu. Some of the most important options are described as follows:

- Theme Browser – This sweet feature connects you directly to The Spicy Chickens central
- Theme sever. From here you can browse the hottest new themes, the Top 40 downloaded, or go one by one through the hundreds of themes available at the swipe of a finger. The greatest part of this integration is that you can also browse file sets to download specific parts of themes, such as battery indicator icons, or carrier logos. From the My Themes section, you can apply the themes you have downloaded or specificy parts of a theme you desire to activate.
- Customize Image/Sounds – This is where all the magic happens.     Here is where you can get down to the nitty gritty customization of your unit. From changing your Dock Image, to each and every system sound it can all be done here. The app will automatically list all downloaded files and feature sets and allow you to preview them before applying.
- Make Backup Now – Even though this option is quite self explanatory, it is by far the most powerful and my favorite part of Customize 2.0. After creating your custom theme, you can instantly make a backup and revert to previous backups without worry. No more restoring to factory defaults in iTunes to get yourself out of a bind, woohoo! Again, this feature works flawlessly.
- Edit System Strings – There are some people who love to completely distinguish the look of their unit from others, and by using the system string editor included in Customize 2.0, you accomplish just that. This editor allows you to change the default text notifications to something of your own. Examples include the ability to modify the Low Battery Title, the Call Miss title, In Call Title, etc. The list of editable system strings is quite long, so there is much room for uniqueness.
- Import SMB Themes – Lastly, this life saving feature allows you to import those old Summer Board themes you just can’t let go into Customize 2.0 (hey that rhymed!). With a single tap, the pre-downloaded Summer Board theme of your choice is instantly added into the Customize 2.0 database.  This feature can also be used in conjunction with the newly released ModMyIfone MMiThemer application, which allows you to download Summer Board themes with simplicity and elegance.

All in all, this is one iPhone and iPod Touch application that should definitely be sitting on your Spring Board.
