PS Vita Recovery Menu v1.2.0

Home Screen Layout backup & restore

Lost your folders and bubble order after a Rebuild Database? Not anymore.

⚠️ After installing, go to Advanced > Boot Recovery > Install / Update Boot Recovery, then reboot.
The boot plugin changed in this version. The app will remind you with a pop-up if you forget.
"Enable Unsafe Homebrew" in HENkaku Settings must stay ticked.

What's new

• Home Screen Layout (new on the main menu)
  • Back Up Layout: saves your pages, folders (names and icons), bubble order and each page's wave colour to ux0:data/vita_recovery/layout/. The previous backup is kept too.
  • Restore Latest / Older Backup: puts everything back where it was, then restarts the Vita to apply it. Your current database is kept as ur0:shell/db/app.db.prelayout, just in case.
  • Apps you've uninstalled since the backup are skipped. Apps you installed after it are added after the last bubble.
• Rebuild Database now backs up your layout first. After the rebuild, open Home Screen Layout > Restore Latest Backup to get your folders back.
• Boot plugin update reminder: if the boot plugins on your Vita are older than the ones in the app (or only partly installed), a pop-up tells you and takes you straight to Boot Recovery.

Requirements
