Homebrew FriendMii [WIP]

[DaveyL2013]

Ether custom apps don't work, or uninstalled apps don't work. My favorite title is both of those.

Not sure where exactly the smdh of an uninstalled app is stored, so idk if I'll be able to fix that. Currently there is an issue where it doesn't recognize physical carts (if they are your favorite).

Also while I'm here I wanted to mention that I'm still working on this project under the hood. Sometimes I don't push changes to git if I feel like they're not ready. Recently I got the friends list to show up among other improvements. We'll see where this goes.

My wish is to get a similar-chat (IM) systems in this app, and replace it to the system app (like Android with root, for example).
That would be great ;D

All SMDH used by Activity Log, Friends List, Notifications, etc. are stored in the shared extdata archive 0xf000000b (https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Extdata#NAND_Shared_Extdata)
The "idbt.dat" file contains a titleid list, and the "idb.dat" file contains the actual SMDHs for the titles on this list, one after another.

I believe I made it more pleasant to look at (please do give me some feedback, or else don't complain once the change becomes permanent). Also, I'm currently working on implementing the Friends list.

Looks amazing so far, it'd be nice if you could display the Mii of the person, and display their name instead of "Friend #[Insert Number Here]." If it was for tracking your number of friends, why not add a friend counter near the bottom left/right corner?

Not too sure about gearing their mii's displayed like how they are in the friends list app. I can try to get their name and other info to show up though, like region and such. I'll also includes the friend count elsewhere. The friends list is still a huge W.I.P, I'll add more things to it in the coming days. Thanks for your input!

I know I haven't posted here in a while, but I haven't given up on the project.

So far the following changes have been made:

• Fully working friend's list (with scrolling implemented).
• Now uses PP2D for VBO.
• Fixed screenshot bug resulting in multiple screenshots.
• Now lets you know if a person hasn't added you back as friend (Their name also does not show up).
• Minor Makefile fixes (Fixed banner audio, and also no longer uses 3dstool for romfs).

When you release this, can you please make a 3dsx file?

I mean sure if I get to a point where a release other than a POC/Dev release, I'd tag a 3DSX build along as well. However, it'll require you to use Luma only (Since it's the only cfw ATM that handles patching service access automatically).

The new design is very nice! I'm really looking forward to the finished product.
And, if I were you, I wouln't worry about displaying Miis. It would be very nice, but extremely difficult (if not impossible) to accomplish without using proprietary Nintendo code. If you ever do want to tackle Miis, I'd do it after literally everything else.
Good luck!

Yeah working on Mii's was never gonna be a thing. I mean we can definitely get some info from them using the miiData struct, but rendering them is a no go (at least for now).

Yay, now I can be lazy and avoid deleting old friend codes, without having to suffer when I have to delete 95 friend codes all at the same time!

Oh perhaps I can add a batch delete option then. I don't think Nintendo's friend app supports anything like that.

It does actually.

Shouldn't be difficult to add to your tool though.
