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: put the new file in /data/ps5-theme/update/ (or copy it over the old one). Within about 10 seconds the running plugin finds it and hands over, keeping your theme on the screen. No restart needed. From 1.62 on, the new version then also takes the place of the older copies in etaHEN's plugin folder and PS5 Payload Manager's payload folders, and the update folder empties itself.
  • From 1.22 or older: copy the new file and restart the console once.

New in 1.64 (since 1.63)

  • The Options button's and the screenshot's sounds up front. In Sounds → Interface sounds, opening and closing the options menu (the Options button) and taking a screenshot now show at the top, beside moving, selecting, going back, L1/R1 and the Control Center, without Show all. A sound a theme replaced shows either way. The screenshot sound can be up to 0.34 seconds long on 13.42, the options menu's 1.2 seconds. See Interface sounds.
  • Fix: the list's count read "(6 replaceds)"; it now reads "(6 replaced)".

Everything in 1.63 is included.

Checked

58 end-to-end tests on the host (full and emulated), and a PS5 with 13.42: the update from 1.63 through the update folder (Payload Manager's copy replaced by this build, byte for byte, and the update folder emptied), and the options menu's, the screenshot's and a dialog's sounds replaced and heard.
