ps5-theme 1.23

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.

Coming from 1.22 or older: copy the new file over the old one and restart the console once. Older versions can't start a new version by themselves.

New in 1.23

• Updates load by themselves. Copy a newer ps5-theme.plugin over the old one. Within about 10 seconds the running plugin finds it, starts it through etaHEN's ELF loader and hands over to it. Your theme stays on the screen the whole time. No Toolbox and no restart needed, which matters after rest mode, when the Toolbox is often unavailable. (From 1.23 on.)
• The theme stays through a plugin restart. When the plugin restarts without a reboot (an update, or etaHEN's Stop), it carries on with the theme already on the screen instead of taking it down and applying it again.
• Progress on the console. Applying shows console notifications: "Applying 'Name'…" (or "Putting 'Name' back…" after a reboot), the current step and percentage during a long apply (at most every 8 seconds), and the result.
• Only one copy of the plugin runs at a time. A copy that isn't newer leaves the running one alone.

Also in recent versions

• 1.22: the theme stays after rest mode. Apps the console restarts get the theme within a second.
