Custom Home Menu Manager 2 (v.2.1 BETA)
aka CHMM2
by Rinnegatamante

CHMM is coming back with a new, wonderful graphical UI fully animated and new features!
CHMM2 is a theme manager for 3DS for custom themes; it works under lpp-3ds and it is completely opensource.

FEATURES
- Themes auto-placer if you install it in the wrong directory.
- Support for custom themes.
- Support for BGM previews (BGM.ogg file) and screens previews (PNG, BMP, JPG files).
- Support for multiple themes with shuffle system overwriting Nintendo ones.
- Integrated network theme receiver.
- Multiple UI colors for customization.
- Beautiful and animated graphic.
- Faster if compared to CHMM.

CONTROLS

Base System

A = Install theme
Y = Show theme preview
X = Go to Shuffle System
Left / Right = Navigate through themes
SELECT = Change UI color
START = Open Options Menu

Shuffle System

A = Add theme to themeset as current index
B = Erase current index from themeset
Y = Show theme preview
X = Install themeset and go to Base System
L / R = Change current index in themeset
Left / Right = Navigate through themes
SELECT = Change UI color
START = Exit CHMM2

USAGE

Download your preferred custom themes and put them in Themes folder.

HOW TO CREATE A THEME

A theme is composed by several files:
body_LZ.bin - Contains background images and some theme settings.
BGM.bcstm - Contains theme BGM sound.
Preview.png/.jpg/.bmp - Screenshot used by CHMM2 for preview system.
BGM.ogg - Contains theme BGM preview sound, used by CHMM2 for preview system.
info.smdh - Contains icon, author, description and title of the theme.

- To create first three files i recommend to use YATA+ ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-yet-another-theme-application-plus-yata-3ds-theme-editor.393355/ )
- To create BGM.ogg file i recommend to use Audacity ( http://audacityteam.org )
- To create info.smdh file i recommend to use SMDH Creator ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-the-smdh-creator-make-your-own-icon-pack.396765/ )

@Apache Thunder for the awesome 3D banner for 3DS/CIA builds.
@Zerousen for the 2D texture used for 3DS/CIA builds banner.
@ihaveamac for his awesome work testing new UI and shuffle theme system.
@~Poke~ for the buttons icons used by the UI.

KNOWN ISSUES

As you can state, this is a BETA version.
1) During tests we encountered some issues relating "An error occurred" message during shuffle system usage.
If you notice this error, please report what themes you were using and how many times you shuffled themes to make this appear.

2) It seems some themes without BGM.bcstm will cause audio issues (like themes with no sound or themes with wrong sounds). This is not CHMM2 fault but wrong body_LZ.bin creation by theme makers. I would ask to @exelix11 to make BGM.bcstm usage hardcoded to OFF if no BGM.bcstm is provided to YATA+. That could fix this bug which afflicted also CHMM.

With your help we can fix this issues and make CHMM2 better!

@Rinnegatamante
Could you add something for have a preview for all themes without every times press Y for open the preview?
Like press Y the first time and navigate with Right/Left and have an automatic preview?

The new features are great! I really like the listing mode option. I could recommend making the inner borders of the smdh icons rounded just like the outer borders are instead of sharp corners. Thanks @Rinnegatamante

This is amazing and I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make something so awesome :bow:

There should be an option to disable BGM preview in case you want to see the image preview without having to wait for the BGM to load.
EDIT: Especially since my 3DS is COMPLETELY frozen right now...

CHMM2.1 LOOKS VERY COOL FOR ME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH(๑´ڡ`๑)

Is it possible to have an option to search for themes outside of the main founder for them?

Chrisser_75 · Oct 7, 2015

very nice

it's a big jump forward

Is the new screenshot-at-every-color-change a feature or a bug?

Missed cleanup code, it will be deleted on next release.

Theoretically, this is how ScanSD func works (the one who CHMM2 calls if no theme is recognized. I can add a new feature on options menu to call this feature).

It could be easily added but don't know about performances.

Ok. I've just been having trouble having CHMM2 finding the new themes I add. I'm not sure what to do. I've even deleted the folder a few times but nothting I've tried has worked.

Haha guys check this out

I have learned what happens when you try to be nice to a cocky ass developer.
Edit: I know shows twice because i can't take screenshots xD

It should be stated, for the record, the problem occurs with the homebrew size. This was tested by me when I stripped lpp-3ds of almost everything that wasn't networking, screen, and controls. Networking worked fine just then. It is a Ninjhax 2.x issue.

See he didn't mention that. All he did was call me a noob then block me. What a immature boy. All I wanted to do was make good with him.

I believe size is mentioned in the issue's comments, however.

Sorry - I skimmed it. However, that is weird pictochat has graphics and networking works. If you would like to colab let me know. You don't seem like a ass. A good amount of graphics too.

It's purely Ninjhax 2.x and homebrew size. lpp-3ds has working networking code, but because it's above some arbitrary size limit, it doesn't work regardless.

Hmm. Hopefully smea will fix it in 2.5 Again let me know if you need anything.

Do you have the exact same number of themes set to the Shuffle option as the ones you add on the shuffle set on CHMM2?

Is that a requirement? Also, if that's the case, does it matter which themes I have in the shuffle set?

You only need to set Shuffle Themes to 2 basic.

Oh ok. I'll try that now.

EDIT: That still doesn't work on 2 basic.
