ps5-theme 1.60

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 1.60 (since 1.59)

• One progress display while a theme is applied. On the library, the banner shows the apply's progress, with its percentage on the right; the message in the corner no longer covers it. On the other pages the message shows as before.
• Docs: a photo of the colours from Edit colours on the console, in the Appearance themes guide.

Everything in 1.59 is included.

Checked

54 end-to-end tests on the host (full and emulated), and a PS5 with 13.42: an apply with the library open, and the update from 1.59 handing over by itself.
