Hey guys, since the last update I'm having more freezes, about 1/20, I can swear that in 2.4 it was way less than that, about 1/50.
Also, if Hen is enabled and you miss-click on HEN again it will certainly freeze, and not reboot, requiring for a hard reboot, if the developer reads this, anyway to hide the enabler Icon once this is enabled?
 
Sorry for the newb question, do i still need to login to my PSN account and activate my PS3 (assuming i don't have an account yet or install HFW 4.85 on a new clean slate PS3) so i can use RAPs or does HFW 4.84/4.85 can use it without having to activate my PS3 anymore, it's been quite a while so i just want to make sure i'm doing it right and update to HFW 4.85, my other PS3 is still at HFW 4.82, big thanks and appreciation to the devs for the update :)

You'll know if HEN is enabled by going to Network column. You should see Firmware Tools.

It's not an issue about knowing if it's enabled or not, but just the possibility to miss click on the activator again.
When you're inside a game and press the PS button, it will default to the exit game icon, however if you press any direction, or someone using the 2nd controller, it has a high chance that will sit on the hen activator again.
Also, my kids often play, and despite being supervised most of the time it is fairly simple, and quick to click on the activator doing what I've said above, it's already happened twice.
 
I agree that's a very good point.
In that case I'll also sign for the petition if it's possible for the devs to implement an anti-enable Hen activation once it's activated because that's exactly what happens , once it's activated, if someone does it again it will fail and reboot.
Maybe it's possible or maybe not , I understand they're doing their best for sure.
Maybe they can come with some excellent magic again.

In my experience it freezes, if it at least rebooted the console it would be less a hassle.
But I'm not complaining, just pointing something out.
 
Yeah that's annoying especially when having children playing with consoles.
On mine I did accidentaly trigger Hen once it was enabled and it will fail and reboot because it was already enabled. Or sometimes just idling on an empty page or it can freeze as you mentioned.
I occasionally get the failed error rebooting at first hen enabling but that's not very common at all , it just can happen sometimes. But I believe you.

I would be also happy to see a new Hen release where this problem is solved in order to avoid that situation.
Children will be thankful for it.
 
There's a thing I would like to point out to the devs but this is not a major issue.
Can you guys please disable the Hen icon on the startup?
If everytime I get Hen updates it will enable the 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.
Thanks guys. Appreciated.

how much probabilities there are now in v3 for freezing and black screens?

I've HEN 3.0.0 on a PS3 super slim, and it works like a charm.
I'm using it with latest webMan MOD and Irisman without issues.

I even do some homebrew dev using PS3Load and I had no issues at all.

It seems that everything has improved a lot since the early 2.0 versions, probably not just on the HEN side but also on the homebrew apps too. (updated versions of every manager, tool, etc)

we have looked into this with past versions already. What you are asking for requires an XMB reload without reloading LV2. We may be able to hide the Enable HEN icon on init sometime in a future update.

Technically, this can already be done and has been tested hiding the icon, but there is a catch...using Remote Play to refresh XMB, which is awful :) lol
