The first release of Imago, a fast, modern theme browser and installer for the PS Vita, built on psvt.ovh. Created by Sevy (@SevyW).

✨ What's in it
🧭 Discover All 3,800+ themes on psvt.ovh in one endless grid. Sort them six ways, search with □, and filter by tag or author. ○ goes back to exactly where you were.
⬇️ Background installs Press Install and keep browsing. Installs queue up, with progress on the card, the detail view and the header. Cards show INSTALLED, UPDATE and NEW badges.
📚 Library Update, uninstall, or remove a theme from the system list but keep its files. Re-add theme folders already on your card. Themes from Custom Themes Manager show up too.
🎛️ Theme Studio Customize any installed theme: keep only the wallpapers you like, turn the music or custom icons off, and rename it. You can also mix in wallpapers, music, icons, the lock screen or the status bar from another theme.
🗂️ Assets Every wallpaper, icon set, song and lock screen from your installed themes in one place. Music plays right on the Vita. Pick the parts you like and press △ to build a brand-new theme from them.
💾 Careful with the system The system theme list is checked and backed up before every change: three automatic backups plus a manual one. Restore from Settings.
👻 The ghost A ghost bubble, a LiveArea whose Start gate blends into the artwork, an opening splash, and a warm red and cream palette.

Downloaded themes are never changed in place. Customizing, mixing or building always saves a new theme, and every original author is credited.

📦 Install

  1. In HENkaku Settings (VitaShell or molecularShell → START), turn on Enable Unsafe Homebrew and reboot.
  2. Recommended: with VitaShell, copy ur0:shell/db/app.db somewhere safe on ux0:. Imago backs it up automatically too, but your own copy costs nothing.
  3. Copy imago-v1.0.0.vpk to the Vita and install it with VitaShell. If you already have an earlier test build, install over it: your settings and backups are kept.
  4. Launch Imago from the LiveArea. Settings › About should say 1.0.0.

🆘 If something goes wrong

  • Logs: ux0:data/Imago/log.txt. Please include it with any report.
  • Backups: ux0:data/Imago/backups/. auto-1.db is the newest automatic backup and manual.db is the one from Settings › Back up. Imago's Restore picks between them.
  • Manual restore: if Imago can't start, copy a backup over ur0:shell/db/app.db with VitaShell, then reboot.
  • Last resort: if the home screen misbehaves after a restore, boot into Safe Mode and choose Rebuild Database. Your games and data stay; the home screen layout resets, and custom themes can be re-added with Library › Add local themes.

Built with VitaSDK (toolchain sdk-snapshot-20260825, package channel 2026.08).
