- supermanred, on 10/12/2007, -3/+61Come on APPLE add this to the damned firmware! Dont make me install some 3rd party hack!

I have always used an iPod and love it. But I admit, Zune does have that feature, and I wish Apple would add it on our side of the fence. - pastasauce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47You'll be fighting off more guys and girls. Trust me. I put rockbox on my iPod 5G a couple months ago and guys were swarming all over me. Only one girl came up to me and told me it was cool. She wasn't even hot.
- Prometheus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37Can't wait until this works with the Shuffle!
- ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34Why would Apple be pissed about this? People customize their iPods all the time, and this isn't detrimental to Apple or the iPod at all.
- djdut, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29There will probably Tuesday be a patch for the 5 + 5.5G iPods
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Wait, you can pimp a feature?
- darkyoshi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26*Setting - an elevator*
Worker - "Hey, we got a package"
Jobs - "You're fired" - SpacemanSpiff01, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26no one wants your sweaty nerd hugs.
- foxymcfox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Hey! I am NOT a nerd!
- Jpantoga, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23flag564, what are you even talking about?
- foxymcfox, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23First person to figure out how to do this on a Mac (Hopefully with a pretty interface, but I can make due with command line hacks) will get a hug from me.
- joshikus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Why are people digging him down he's saying the firmware patch to change the background on the 5G should be out tues. not apple releasing a patch to stop it
- TomMcBaum, on 10/12/2007, -11/+24I love the comments about how they expect to be "fighting the girlies off" after installing this firmware update. The pathetic part is that this could be true. Anyway, great hack! Is it based on the 1.12 firmware?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+24No OS X love?
- rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18No, that would be the half-crippled wireless music sharing.
Of course, that feature is only useful if you ever meet someone else with a Zune (and they music you'd actually want to hear). - Mufflegrump, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Yeah. Too bad you have such a small penis though. :)
- kdrlx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8could the images be any worse ?
- Sagags, on 10/12/2007, -9/+17why would they shut you down?
you can do anything you want to your ipod, but you might loose your warranty - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -18/+25What an irrational group. I get dugg down the ass for merely stating a fact.
- Szandor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Sorry, you might want to check your macro settings on those first two screen shots.
- vagarach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8He means the guys that wrote the hack for the nano will in a short while release a modified version that will also work for the 5G ipods.
- djdut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7No but you are talking to the person who created this patch.
- nuclearpenguins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You made a cool hack yet don't know how to use the reply function on Digg?
- jrbrewin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"yeah, and now you can do it on a good mp3 player."
layzie. go and actually look at the mp3 player market, without blinkered eyes, before you make stupid, unfounded comments like that. e.g., look at the many many independant audio tests online that state that all ipod ranges have one of, if not the worse quality audio playbacks in market.
hardly what i, and millions other, consider good. a better comment would have been.
"now you can do it on the mp3 player sheep use" - jdong, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Yeah, and it gets wonderful 3-5 hour battery life too! Did I mention its fantastic video capabilities? You can play 30MB of pre-buffered MPEG2 video! That's so much better than MPEG-4 ASP or MPEG-4 AVC!
- weizilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i think this is only for the first generation nanos. stupid encrypted firmware :-(
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Can you do this in OS X somehow?
- afruff23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You can dualboot if you want to watch videos on a 2.5 inch screen. I agree about battery life though for the iPod. My iAudio X5L gets good battery life with or without Rockbox though.
- Rhine23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Only 1st G nanos at the moment, 5g is scheduled for Tuesday according to the topic. Can't wait I remember using this program (ipod wizard) the day it came out. :)
- bootle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4iPodwizard, wait till apple's lawyers hear THAT name...
- m1ss1ontomars, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3then you need rat poison.
- whitty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5direct linking is a bad plan here. People won't know what to do, and will ***** up their ipods.
- whitty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4there's nothing inaccurate about the post, moron. it never claimed NOT to void the warranty (but don't worry, nobody ever pays attention to ipodwizard use anyway, it won't really have an impact on your ability to get service), and it's easy peasy to remove. All you have to do is flash the ipod with the regular firmware again. If you made a backup, 2 second job. That's like, twice as fast as it takes you to finish!
- jrbrewin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5"Post comments relevant to the story to not get dugg down"
that's funny.
especially considering the hordes of apple users who are more than willing to jump on every bit of non-apple news, which mentions products or services that compete against apple, and trash-talk / fill with fud / digg down, and then have the goddam audacity to state we should use the equivelent apple product.
the sad state is, backgrounds are something that are something zune owners have been able to set, out of the box, since day0. Yet, apple-boys have non-stop bad mouthed every aspect of the product. Yet now we see the apple community 'taking' functionality from it to put it in to their hacked firmware.
take a step back, and admit that it's kind of ironic, at the very least. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Direct Links:

so much hate... - >mark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4zen
- djdut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2just open iPW and load the firmware then press Write to iPod
- m1ss1ontomars, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you do need a windows-formatted ipod. no macpods if you want this; ipodpatcher can't read the apple partition map.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"ZEN Vison M 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.7 inches 5.7 oz
iPod 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.43 inches 4.8 oz
Brick 8 x 4 x 2.25 ~1 pound"
I was talking about the nano. 1.6 x 3.5 x 0.27 inches 1.5 oz. Like I said, the ZEN Viz M (5.7 oz?) is a brick, relatively speaking... especially when you're hanging it from your NECK and exercising at the gym.
Guess what happens when you continuously shake a harddrive? - tygut1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is pretty cool. I would like to see the ability to customize my iPod more, especially the now playing screen. Rockbox has some of these features, but Apple could easily implement them. Seeing which song is queued up next or showing play counts and last played dates would be cool. I would also like to see my songs rating on the first now playing screen and then change screens to change the rating. As I said I think Apple could easily make the iPod screens more customizable, it would be nice if they would.
- picknslap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't get it, isn't the whole point of ipodwizard to provide different themes? Wouldn't this include backgrounds already?
- jmg703, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Other mp3 players already do this and while I'm sure the iphone and 6G ipod will have this, apple is behind the times in this case.
- viperssxt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1is the 5g one coming out to day or what?
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mrfreeze, the zen isnt meant to be the size of your (small) penis. the nano has like 2 gb and the zen has 30gb.
and why are people digging me down (oh yeah, most people on here -
