Confirmed: Caption Crunch Works with 1.1.3

Ecamm's Mac-side hacking Caption Crunch tools work fine with the iPhone and iPod touch running 1.1.3. You can use these tools to set and reset custom time and carrier strings on your devices. I gave Caption Crunch a try and my iPod touch now shows a "hi" message instead of the time. Ecamm wrote about these tools on their weblog a few weeks back. It's nice to know that even with the 1.1.3 jailbreak lock-out that some user customization hacks still work.

which backup files? can itunes do a backup? i don't connect my ipod touch often since i got mobilecast.

Is it easy to replay a backup on the original? Can you even backup a jailbroken 1.1.2 and copy it back if some app kills the touch?

CaptionCrunch just modifies the backup files found on your mac, no jailbreak necessary :-)

Havent tried, but i assume that if they show on your mac/ipod/iphone, it'll show up in the time/carrier

My iPhone says "Verizon." I let the luddites to whom I show my iPhone freak out and go wild for a second, then I tell them that it's just this tiny litle change in the software, not an unlock.

Just tried and works perfectly.

Changed the 'carrier' from iPod to 'Beaugie'.
