On this day of April, PSP homebrew coder Lucifer_V paid a visit to the QJ.Net Forums and announced an update to the PSP Theme Swapper homebrew. According to its readme, this application allows PSP users to "flash high-res backgrounds, icon sets, clicksound, volume bars, battery icons, fonts, and waves."

As compared to the past version,  the following major tweaks were made:

• Firmware check added
  
• Fonts added
• Recover function added
• More available slots to save
• Better navigating in menu
• Bugs fixed
• Graphics added
  

Usage instructions and contact details (in case you experience any bugs) are available in the readme file which the dev has included. We highly recommend that you check that first before trying anything with Theme Swapper v1.0. Also, please take note that this application writes to flash, and has been made only for use with 3.03 oe-c. Further details can also be found over at Lucifer_V's forum release thread. Enjoy the download!

Days ago, homebrew developer for the PSP Lucifer_V has released Theme Swapper v0.2. Basically, this application will allow you to easily swap among different types of XMB themes - including changing the icons, backgrounds, battery bars, and other XMB aesthetics. Now, through our forums, Lucifer_V informed us that he has released v0.3 of this application.

This time around, he shares that v0.3 will allow you to flash full XMBs. He also reminds you that the enclosed backgrounds, icons, and waves were not created by him and that the app writes to your flash0, so there's always a possibility that your PSP is gonna be bricked. But not to worry, as long as you don't change his code, nothing will go wrong, he shares.

Now, that we have done our part by reporting about Lucifer_V's new release, you should do yours. What's that you may ask? Well, all you gotta do is check out and understand the readme file that comes with the download so as you could maximize the app and you won't induce harm to your PSP.

Lucifer_V has released Theme Swapper v0.2, an application that'll allow you to easily swap among different types of XMB themes, including changing the icons, backgrounds, battery bars, and other XMB accoutrements. According to Lucifer_V, you can also save your current theme to your memory stick and then flash it back at a later time.

Now, this is his first release, and we're actually quite impressed by what he's been able to do. Comments haven't been forthcoming on the forums post, so you may want to give the application a try and let him know what you think. Still, he has plans of expanding the app to flash whole themes in one go, so you may just be interested in seeing how this app pans out.

Just remember that this does have flashing capabilities and is therefore capable of possibly of bricking PSPs. Be very careful with using this app as it also doesn't have a manual, so you can avoid problems. That being said, enjoy the application.
