@Filipe Santos asks to disable the Enable Hen icon, and that requires reloading the XMB.
The icon cannot disappear instantly as well as HFW Settings appear.

If you look at what I highlighted in RED on my previous posts it was coldboots that was mentioned, the dead give away was this this...>

Hen logo on my coldboot logo and I prefer to have my official PS3 one instead. So just I don't have to load the Disc with all the coldboot logos again.

Coldboot.raf has nothing to do with the init HEN icon on the XMB, and also does not require anything special to change> and certainly does not require an XMB reload as it happen before the XMB is loaded.

@Filipe Santos was asking if they could include the official PS3 coldboot instead of the one with the HEN logo...... read it again.

HFW does not contain the HEN coldboot but when you install hen it switches the coldboot with the HEN one. So each time he updates HEN it will keep switching out the coldboot.raf he is using, ie the PS3 one with the HEN one.
 
Eveytime I shutdown my console, I still got the "Freezing Bug" even I'm already using Hen v3.0. What I'm doing right now to avoid that bug is to shutdown first the controller then manually shutdown the console.

Is there a fix to this problem?
 
Cypher thank you for clearing i wasnt sure if Escorted had fully understand it but thats ok guys I appreciate all the effort you guys are putting into this.
Ill have a proper read about the rest as im away atm.
Thanks guys.

Thats ok matey don't worry abt it.
Abt hiding the enable hen you're the boss you decide .

What i was asking was if you could disable the hen coldboot logo by not replacing the coldboot logo that is originally in use but if that cant be done thats fine i can always get the coldboot cd again and replace it with the official one, thing is everytime there will be an update i will have to do it which is ankward.

edited for massive clearness XD

Bonus : if you guys wanna come up with a bad ass cold boot , Rebug , Ferrox , HFW website logo and so on style logo for Hen ( the chickenshit XD) that's welcome too and it would be a nice addition to the coldboot logo family but deffo keep that wee icon for enable hen i like it.

Aye but the Enable Hen is a diff situation which seems to be more complicated.

Escorted mentioned abt if hes has to , he will move it to the remote play once its active , because of accidents reported by other users having their young ones clicking on enable hen after its been activated , but now you're mentioning the xmb has to be reloaded because things stay in ram memory or something , so imo thats certainly a more complex matter to be solved. If it will ofc , if not i guess everyone has to be careful and take the necessary steps to make sure nobody enables hen again after its been enabled.

Just to clarify something :)

The icons you see in the XMB are xml files from path dev_flash\vsh\resource\explore\xmb\*.xml
When the firmware boots it loads all the info from the xml's in memory, and since that point it doesnt matters if you change the xml on runtime because the real files are ignored. The only solution is to reload either:
-that specific "segment" inside the xml
-that xml file entirelly
-the whole xmb

By doing this the info about that xml in memory is "updated", and your change in the xml is displayed in XMB

The firmware have functions to do this kind of things, and are used in the official firmware, but are partially unknown, it seems to be made through:
xmb_plugin.sprx ---> XMB2 Interface ---> function 7

Mysis made a bunch of tests with it
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Xmb_plugin
And i made an experimental table with his tests (my table is a bit disaster, dont take it as facts)
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Talk:Xmb_plugin

My interest in that feature is because it allows to control the "cursor" (in other words, you can fake the dualshock outputs), and it allows to "navigate" the XMB
My idea was.... the backup managers that have an option named "direct boot" uses a method that is very incompatible (better dont use that feature)... but by controlling the cursor we could do this:
1)mount game
2)exit backup manager
3)automatize cursor to select the mounted game, and boot it (everything automatized)

In the practise this would make obsolete the old "direct boot" methods, and it would increase the compatibility of the new "direct boot" implementation to 100%

---------
Anyway... in the same way we can control the cursor, we can reload the XMB using something like that

The alternative solution to reload the XMB that seems to be considering the HEN devs is to take advantage of the "remote play" feature... just because when you enable remote play the XMB is unloaded... then loaded again
Technically is not a reload, but is pretty much the same, is just we know this is not "the good way" to do it, but it works, it was an idea from @DeViL303 :)
 
One question here... Anybody here can play online while HEN is activated? I tried before and I simply couldn't at all, I tried using the command of the WebManMod to delete History and disable the Syscalls, but doesn't work at all... neither the Psn Patch works (I'm in the HEN 3.0.0) if someone can help me I will appreciate a lot

anyone knows how restore the original PS3 coldboot logo on HEN ? also how does one change the HEN logo on XMB
preferably something easy and fool-proof like a pkg or something
 
Hello, could you guys fix the time when the burned media reacts after sleep mode?

let me explain this, for example when you are playing a game and you enter pause then wait some minutes the drive stops spinning, that's ok but when you come back to the game the drive takes some secs more than usual to get in, with original BD games that doesn't happen

EASY INSTRUCTIONS:
Coldboot:
Install STOCK THEME from HFW Tools>Themes>Stock_theme.pkg

HEN.PNG (HEN LOGO)
You can simply replace the logo found in 'dev_rewrite/vsh/resource/explore/icon/'
called hen_enable.png. Replace with any png you want!
