FBI 2.0 is near perfect.
Appealing UI unlike DevMenu and FBI 1.x
Features like Network Install, QR install (tickets may or may not be exclusive)
Installs while system is closed (DevMenu does this, and you can also return to HOME Menu while an install takes place)
It's a simple file manager
You can make NAND backups from it and view installed tickets
It's quick and easy to use. If someome could make an unmodified version that installs to NAND I'd love it.
[EDIT] I got the freeze issue on n3DS once, while making a NAND backup, I've seen however that it's just the visuals that freeze, it still works. The backup was the full 1888.0 mb and restoring to emuNAND worked fine. I don't think this is an FBI issue, though. The same thing happened when installing DLC with DevMenu and everything installed fine after waiting a while.

This is a problem that's been confirmed to happen on N3DS. Hoping to get mine back sometime soon so I can debug the issue.

Oh right, yeah I'm on N3DS. I hope you can find what's wrong once you get yours back. Because aside from this issue FBI is brilliant for everything else.

I tend to use BigBlueMenu/the older DevMenu for installations, as it's what's injected into my H&S, use System Settings to delete apps, and I also have FBI 2 installed.

Is there any way to restore the original H&S? Is it as easy as reinstalling a H&S CIA?

How can you use FBI 2? Every time I install a large cia file the progress bar freezes at random points for each file. If it's a small homebrew or something then it installs fine.
But it freezes after a while when I try to install my backup cia's from after I moved to a9lh.

Is this just me or is it a known problem, also any idea how to solve it? (I use the latest FBI build)

I'm using FBI 2.x, on my o3DS. It works well, and has a ton of functions that I like, and plus "directory action" means I can install huge amounts of games/homebrews at once. System settings for deleting applications and stuff

I will try out SOON! soon, but it looks overly complicated...

My favorite would be QR Web Installer...

I have MEGASync installed, so for smaller .cias I can just quickly upload and make a QR out of the download link :P

But for bigger files I use Socketpunch+FBI 1 (wjchen's modified version :P)

Does FBI2 show the game name instead of titleid in the uninstall section?
I hate having to restart after going into system settings.

Well I just re-injected FBI into h&s and installed a 1.5gb cia with the unit closed and it worked just fine.
Maybe it bugged out or something when I restored the nand backup to sysnand as I was installing a9lh.

Devmen2x most of the time. Love how it just overwrites the existing cia, bbb (reskinned devmen6x) won't let you do this.

I use FBI 2 a lot as well of course. It's gotten much better but still has stability issues.
