I modified the UINavigationBar+CustomImage.m to have the title still visible to the user. Just use insertSubview: atIndex: instead of addSubview:

UINavigationBar+CustomImage.m

#import "UINavigationBar+CustomImage.h"

@implementation UINavigationBar (CustomImage)

- (void) setBackgroundImage:(UIImage*)image {
    if (image == NULL) return;
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
    imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44);
    [self insertSubview:imageView atIndex:0];
    [imageView release];
}

- (void) clearBackgroundImage {
    NSArray *subviews = [self subviews];
    for (int i=0; i<[subviews count]; i++) {
        if ([[subviews objectAtIndex:i]  isMemberOfClass:[UIImageView class]]) {
        [[subviews objectAtIndex:i] removeFromSuperview];
    }
   }    
}
