So i was on my friends 1G Touch today; and he has it jailbroken. Fair enough, i like the theme he had etc. I was wondering if the App Customize would be accessible without Jailbreaking as i am getting a 2G touch for Xmas. I've done my fair bit of Research on the iPT as i have wanted one for nigh on 6 months.
 
Nope. Only way to customize the iphone/touch in any way is to jailbreak them. If you're getting a 2nd gen touch, you are out of luck. Sorry.
 
If your really that interested in jailbreaking I would consider a 1st gen.

I'm not that interested in Jailbreaking itself but i do like modding my equipment. I love the different backgrounds available but i wouldn't mess around with my Touch seeing as i've waited for like 6 months for it lol.
 
firstly customize hasn't worked since 2.0 update came out and the creator went AWOL in august.

secondly you cannot customize the iPod 2nd gen cause u have to jailbreak to apply themes and if you have done your reading up there is NO jailbreak for 2nd gen iPod

I know i cannot JAILBREAK the 2G but was wondering if Customize worked. Obviously it doesn't so thanks for the help.
 
Is there any alternative to customize? I want to change the number of apps on each page to 3 instead of 4 and make them a little bigger.
 
ANY changes to Apple's default interface requires jailbreak. This is because Apple doesn't allow app store apps to make system-wide changes (and changing the size and number of icons would be a system-wide change), so in order to access the files that allow you to make such changes, you need to jailbreak.
