[multipage=Custom User Icons]

Custom User Icons

Required; dev_blind, FTP/file manager.

1. Run dev_blind and mount.
2. Start your FTP app, and whatever you use to access it remotely.
3. Navigate to- /dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/user/.
4. Place any icons you want in this folder, and I *THINK* based off of my terrible memory the default image size & format is 162x162 PNG. Other sizes will work but they won't look too great.
5. Exit your FTP app, go to "user" and change any icons you like, easy as that =D

[multipage=Modifying XMB Category Names]

Modifying XMB Category Names

Required; dev_blind, FTP/file manager, rcomage, any .XML viewer(wordpad is fine).

1. Run dev_blind and mount.
2. Start your FTP app, and whatever you use to access it remotely.
3. Navigate to- /dev_blind/vsh/resource/.
4. Copy "explore_plugin_full" to your desktop(or wherever you can easily access it).
5. Start rcomage, and under "RCO Input" browse to the file you just copied from the PS3. Under "XML Output" browse to wherever you want to save the files you're about to edit(preferably somewhere easy to access), and make sure "Resources" is pointed to the same folder, it should be automatically anyway but it's always worth checking.
6. Keep "Separate resource types into separate folders" checked, but un-check all 4 of the other boxes. Now hit Dump.
It should look something like this.
You must login or register to view this content.
7. Go to wherever you saved your XML Output and Resources and go into the "Text" folder and open "English.XML".
8. Now edit category names from line 4 right the way down to line 14. Feel free to edit anything else in this entire .XML, however be warned that any screw-ups on your part could result in a very easy brick. When finished, save the file.
Modify what's in bold safely, modify anything else with caution and at your own risk.
You must login or register to view this content.
9. Now go back into rcomage and enter the "Compile" tab. Browse to the XML Output you saved earlier(the one from step 5, NOT English.XML). Browse to wherever you wish to save your new .RCO, and name it "explore_plugin_full". For Header Compression click on "Zlib", and leave the boxes below it alone. Now hit Compile.
It should look more-or-less like this.
You must login or register to view this content.
10. Browse to and save the new .RCO via your FTP to /dev_blind/vsh/resource/, overwriting the old one(at this point I recommend keeping a backup of the old one, just in-case).
11. Exit your FTP program and hopefully all went well! If not, post below with your problem and I'll try my best to help :bro:

[multipage=Custom Fonts]

Custom Fonts

Required; dev_blind, FTP/file manager.

1. Go to any popular fonts website on the web and download a font in .TIFF format.
2. Make 2 copies of that downloaded font, rename 1 copy "SCE-PS3-SR-R-LATIN" and the other "SCE-PS3-SR-R-LATIN2".
3. Run dev_blind and mount.
4. Start your FTP app, and whatever you use to access it remotely.
5. Navigate to- /dev_blind/data/font.
6. Copy both fonts to this directory, overwriting the 2 that are already there.
7. Exit your FTP app and go to Theme Settings, then change the font to "Rounded".
8. Enjoy your new custom font! Also note that occasionally changing your theme will reset your font to the original, so just go back into theme settings and manually set it to "Rounded" again :y:

[multipage=Credits]

Credits go to whoever first posted on the web regarding modfying XMLs, and whoever else may have come up with any of this first(if anyone did I couldn't find it through a lengthy Google search haha, the only exception being custom fonts which I take no credit for). I didn't copy/paste any of this however I don't care whether I came up with it first so feel free to take credit for it, I'm just helping out the community! :y:

[multipage=More coming soon.]

More coming soon.

okay there is a bunch of text you can edit.

would It be safe to edit text like "Turn system off."

and such?

theres stuff like

    systemfio>[]zlib<fio

thats really crazy

I'm going to make a more in-depth tutorial for that stuff but yes, you can edit almost everything in some specific XMLs provided you edit it in the same format you edited the part I highlighted in the original tutorial.

Through doing that for roughly 50 files(I know, that's a lot) I've made my XMB precisely how I want it. For example the XML files in the folder I directed you to all control the names of stuff, whereas files in a certain other directory control which icons show up on the XMB at all. For example, if you didn't want the PS Store icons to show up on any categories they can be removed. It takes a while, but it works and it's the best we have until someone utilizes this method with a GUI tool.

Oh, and always keep backups! Through testing this stuff out I nearly bricked my PS3 like 5 times haha

oh yeah I experimented and got what I wanted.

Only problem I have is with Settings. Nothing shows up at all.

In the XML File it says settings stuff isnt there

I'm guessing you solved the problem by now..? Remember to always quote me if you're after some help

Great post! =D

Really nice with some juicy info that will be handy. THANKS!
