Custom home-screen themes for jailbroken PS5 consoles on firmware 13.60 and below. Runs as an etaHEN plugin or on its own from any ELF loader. Tested on firmware 13.42, both with etaHEN 2.5B (unified build) and from PS5 Payload Manager.

Which file?

  • ps5-theme.plugin: for etaHEN. Copy it to /data/etaHEN/plugins/ and turn on auto-start.
  • ps5-theme.elf: the same program for PS5 Payload Manager or any ELF loader (port 9021). No etaHEN needed.
  • ps5-theme-stop.elf: only for when the manager can't be reached. Start it from Payload Manager or a payload loader, then start ps5-theme again. It stops the plugin and leaves your theme on the screen. Put it in a folder of its own under /data/pldmgr/payloads/.

Updating

  • From 1.23 or later: copy the new file over the old one (or put it in /data/ps5-theme/update/). Within about 10 seconds the running plugin finds it and hands over, keeping your theme on the screen. No restart needed.
  • From 1.22 or older: copy the new file and restart the console once.
  • If you keep a copy in PS5 Payload Manager, replace that one too, so an old version isn't started from there.

New in 1.57 (since 1.56)

  • Rest mode is now said every time it matters for the Appearance artwork. After you attach a picture to the Control Center's bottom panel, the top-right piece or the home screen artwork, change one of their options, or reset one, the manager says to apply the theme and then put the console in rest mode and wake it. Applying the theme says it too, in the manager and in a console notification.
  • The Placement hints are correct. The tooltip no longer says options apply only when a picture is attached (they apply at once), and the section's note tells what to do if one doesn't take effect: change the option and attach the picture again.
  • README: a step-by-step guide to changing the bottom panel, the top-right piece and the home screen artwork, how each is made, how it depends on the anniversary Appearance themes' textures, and the requirements.

Everything in 1.56 (the Appearance themes' textures, kept originals and the fit setting) is included.

Checked

53 end-to-end tests on the host (full and emulated), and a PS5 with 13.42: the reminders after attaching, changing and resetting a piece and after applying. The README's Tests on the console lists each test.

See the README for the full guide.
