I have seen quite a few comments from iPhone Hacks readers since the release of iPhone firmware 1.1.4, on how they would love to get Customize, a native third-party iPhone application, to work on their Jailbroken iPhone.

Surprisingly and my apologies I had not even reviewed the native iPhone application which seems to be quite popular. So when iPhone Hacks reader, CerealKiller, sent me an email on the YouTube video that he had created which gives a step-by-step guide on how-to get Customize to work with iPhone firmware 1.1.4, I knew it was the perfect time to introduce you to Customize at least those of you who did not know about it and at the same time give the good news to those who wanted to get it working with latest iPhone firmware.

CerealKiller had also given us a useful tip on how to add custom ringtones for free to the iPhone.

Update (10th March):

CerealKiller has some good news for us, he has found
another solution to get Customize to work with iPhone Firmware 1.1.4. Updated video guide available after the jump.
