Hello, just got back into ps3 modding after years of being away. I noticed this toolbox from brewology and immediately wanted it but after doing some reading, and correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't for CFW correct? Only HEN/HFW? And if this is correct, is there an easy way to port this to CFW or any plans on doing so? Seems like a fairly old thread so, I'm going to assume no to the planning on doing so. But never hurts to ask lol.

It wouldn't be that easy and no plans really, maybe someday.

Understood, thanks for the reply @DeViL303. I know this next question is off-topic, but, are there any XMB mods similar to this that work with 4.87 CFW? Every thread I check seems extremely outdated and with no info in regards to compatibility with 4.87 CFW lol.

Excuse me for the off-topic post.

Nah there is very little like this tbh.

As I have some time on my hands I will try get this working on 4.87 CFW. Give me a day or two.
 
Sick, been waiting patiently and watching this thread like a hawk for this. Had to restrain myself from asking for progress reports :D

Much appreciated, I'm currently in a zoom class with my daughter so Ill test it after school is done. And I'll be sure to let you know if there are any bugs. Should I post bug report's here? Since this thread is technically for HEN-Toolbox. Also, before I forget, I need dev_blind active right or it doesn't use that?

Thanks again man :D

Yeah, I guess I will start a thread in case of bugs. No need for any dev_blind here. When you initially install it there will be an option at the top of the main menu for installing the plugin, just run that. then it should be all good.

Edit: Thread here for it https://www.psx-place.com/threads/ultimate-toolbox-v1-00-beta-cfw-only.32466/

Hen toolbox just makes my Games section and PSN Section on XMB disappear, I tried it twice with Hen enabled to check if anything's wrong, had to fix it by reinstalling Hen. I probably did something dumb af lmao :apathy:
 
Hi, folks. Thanks for creating and supporting HEN Toolbox.

I'm on HFW 4.87, using the latest HEN and webMAN MOD versions. I tried sorting my games using Firmware Settings -> Game Sorting Method -> sort Games by Name. Even after refreshing the XMB (both through WebMAN MOD and with a system reboot), the games had not been resorted.

Am I doing something wrong? Maybe missing a step?

Thanks for your help.

Ah yes it is a little confusing and should have been explained better in the toolbox, you do need to choose one of these options, but instead of sorting by date it will sort by name after the mod is applied

I like the idea of extended functions on the xmb, but I think it is too cluttered and it makes advanced options quite exposed to child users, for example. It is possible to hide, but to use them you have to un-hide instead of locking them, on an app you could set a rating and anyone could lock using the parental controls. I would like this to be a conventional app instead (like Rebug Toolbox), since I only installed once to make xregistry and idps backups and it was quite annoying that I had to reinstall the entire firmware to completely uninstall HEN Toolbox. Most people only want to put more customization options like changing fonts and such and these features are quite neat, I understand even though I dont feel the need to use them, but installing the toolbox as is makes the xmb too cluttered in my opinion. I dont want to bash on the wonderful job the developer had, it is just my opinion.

For users who do not want to clutter their XMB with XMB mods, or who are worried about children using the options, the best thing is to not install XMB mods like this.

This seems to all stem from a misunderstanding of HEN. To backup your IDPS and xregistry you could have done it lots of easier ways.

For example HFW Tools in the network category has these options built in. No need to install anything else.

Also you did not have to reinstall your FW to remove this, you could have just deleted the dev_hdd0/game/HENTOOLBX/ folder and optionally reinstalled the HEN pkg via package manager.

The only other option to backin up my keys was to copy the entire hdd and flash partitions, which I dont have the storage to do.
And I did removed first only deleting the folder, but the dead links were kept on the xmb.
