ps5-theme 1.22

Custom home-screen themes for jailbroken PS5 consoles on firmware 13.60 and below, as an etaHEN plugin. Tested on firmware 13.42 with etaHEN 2.5B (unified build).

Install

1. Copy ps5-theme.plugin to /data/etaHEN/plugins/ on the console.
2. Turn on auto-start: create an empty file /data/etaHEN/plugins/ps5-theme.plugin.auto_start, or turn it on in the etaHEN Toolbox plugin list.
3. Start it from the Toolbox, or jailbreak again.
4. Open the Themes tile, or http://<console-ip>:8095 from a phone or computer.

Updating from an earlier version: replace the .plugin file and restart the plugin. Your themes are kept, and an open manager page reloads itself.

Without etaHEN, send ps5-theme.elf to an ELF loader (port 9021) after each jailbreak.

New in 1.22

• The theme stays after rest mode. After rest mode, some of the home screen's apps restart and see the stock files again. The plugin now notices this within a second and puts the theme back for them, without re-applying and without the stock flash. If something still shows stock, Re-apply brings it back at once.

Highlights

• Themes for the background, icons, home music, system sounds, fonts, animations, video and other images, built from any picture or audio file and fitted to each system file's exact format.
• A home music editor: choose the part of the song, an optional loop part, the play order, how the joints sound and the loudness, and hear it before applying.
• Save and Discard, preview pictures on every theme card, export and import as .zip.
• Clear progress while applying, and the applied theme is put back every time etaHEN starts.
• The system is never written: themes are read-only overlays held in memory, and every file is checked against the system file it replaces.

See the README for the full guide, how it works and the challenges behind it.
