Open N45AP.plist in a plain text editor, such as TextEdit, Notepad, TextMate, or SubEthaEdit.

Find the part of your N45AP.plist that says this:



<dict>
<key>buttonBar</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>displayIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.mobileipod-AudioPlayer</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>displayIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.mobileipod-VideoPlayer</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>displayIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.mobileslideshow-Photos</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>displayIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.MobileStore</string>
</dict>
</array>

The part in between and is the application identifier for the applications on the button bar. To change the order that they are displayed, change the application identifiers that are already there. To find an application identifier, open up Info.plist in /Applications/YourAppName.app/Info.plist. It will be similar to com.apple.mobilemail. Here are several other application identifiers:
Apollo = com.google.code.apolloim
Mail = com.apple.mobilemail
Maps = com.apple.Maps
Installer = com.nullriver.iphone.Installer
Stumbler = com.googlecode.iphone-wireless.applications.Stumbler
LightsOff = org.deliciousmonster.lightsoff
Colloquy = com.googlecode.mcolloquy
Notice: you can show more than four icons in the button bar; to do so just add more sections.

To update your iPod, SFTP the file back into /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/N45AP.plist.
Reboot your iPod.
Enjoy!
