This program by tona (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/cIOS_Patchmii_Installer) will download IOS37 from the Nintendo update servers, patch it, and install it as IOS249--making a completely functional "clone" of Waninkoko's cIOS. This process does not involve any system-critical parts of the system, and should be completely safe. Of course, however, this software comes with no warranty whatsoever.
Also, if this applications detects IOS249 installed, it will attempt uninstallation. So... You can run it once to install, run it again to uninstall. Pretty simple.
Why
Waninkoko's cIOS patches are useful, but a couple of barriers prevent many people from installing it. One, the normal installer requires someone "find," build, or dump a WAD of IOS37. Two, some people feel an aversion to Waninkoko's applications (on which I have no comment). Patchmii has been out for longer than cIOS, and it's perfect for the task. I finally found a use for cIOS and decided this might be useful in helping surmount the aforementioned barriers.
Differences
All of the patches are the same as in Waninkoko's cIOS. Although I haven't checked, I'd be willing to bet that the patched IOS modules have the same produced sha-1 hash as Waninkoko's installer generates. Except for Content 0 ;-)
Changelog
v2: Fixes one patch that was done incorrectly before (oops!)
