Homebrew [Release] Homebrew Launcher with grid layout

[Glucose]

I can confirm that clearing the metadata via audacity removed the audio issue. Thank you RedHat for your contributions and advice!

No pop on BGM loop either, not sure what your issue is pdapanda.

 

[RedHat]

Well，However，I noticed that though the pop of beginning has gone, there is another pop at the end of bgm with my file，any idea？

I actually have no idea on that one! Only thing I can think of is to follow the instructions posted Here until it works.

No problemo!

Does the current boot file support bgm and stuff? Or do I ned another kind of file? 'cause I can't get mine to work
btw the splash screen doesn't show up quite well, its up for like a second and then it goes to the bottom screen for some reason.

Little clunky, but still smooth-ish. Using Menuhax 2.0, beta 90, 10.1.0-26E, O3DS.

EDIT: Just downloaded beta 93, no difference.

Very slow with some themes, works good with default. O3DS 9.9.

Ah, I just ran it with the default theme and, while it's still a little choppy, it's much better than with a custom theme.

Got it! Do you have the program Audacity? Try removing the metadata about the file when exporting it by pressing clear when "Edit Metadata" shows up. I think it might be reading the title "銀の意志 金の翼" (and others, like album) as audio data, creating a crackle at the beginning of the file.

EDIT: To others that still experience crackling when any audio starts, try clearing the metadata when you export in audacity and report back.

The pop is gone, but my audio still plays really slowly.

EDIT: Oops. Wrong thread. I must've started chattering away into the wrong tab not thinking which thread it was. Ignore if you like. I'm already ruined on GBATemp, one day I lurk and laugh at people running around that HANS eShop spoofing is gone forever and the next I post into the wrong (but still loosely relevant) thread!
I shall use this space to say nice launcher. [pushes theme post away into the corner with a broom]

Spoiler: The Neverhood theme I accidentally posted to the wrong place

Finally chiming into GBATemp with my first pretty-much-complete Gridlauncher theme.

Would be nice if you had a choice rather to have it blank on top or the bottom, if you only have one picture.

The screen which does not have a splash screen will be black on boot. If you want a different colour, you could just put a splash image filled with that colour in the theme folder.

Figured it out. I forgot to make the track mono (derp ). Sound is great now

Hey, @mashers (or anyone else willing to do this), here's a challenge: Integrate a toggleable FTP server into the launcher. I'll understand if you can't add it in (too complicated, reaching the code limitation, etc.), and that there's already things that can do this, but I'd like something I can just turn on and off easily without having to open a separate app. If you guys can't figure it out, then maybe I'll take a shot at it once I finish the C++ book I'm reading

I did think about this and would absolutely love to do it. It would be totally manageable work-wise to integrate FTP-3DS, but unfortunately we are so close to the limitation of how much code will fit into RX memory that I'm having to scrabble around in tinyxml to find stuff to remove when adding even simple changes. An ftp client is a lot of code, so there's no way it would fit I'm afraid

Damn, I thought that was gonna happen Well, I have had some issues with apps not properly exiting back to the launcher (svdt and menuhax_installer are a few). Maybe you could try fix those? It just hangs up at the splash images.

 

[temper999]

Actually I do not understand github totaly.
Is @RedHat fork of the HBL an own Loader.
Or is the development in RedInquisitive fork also implemented into @mashers master?

 

[Gocario]

• You should use the `wallpapertopinfo.png` and the `wallpaperbottomnongrid` after pressing START (in reboot menu).
• Maybe custom buttons? + Custom button text color?

beta 93 loads my menuhax boot image as the bottom splash screen, somethings mixed up (default theme)

when i use a custom theme, it shows the menuhax splash screen for about 1 second and then the normal splash pictures from the theme

Glad to hear it. FTP-3DS (well, ftBrony really) is a mess of unmaintained code and causes a lot of problems with various ftp clients. Even if there weren't space constraints for the launcher (and ftBrony followed the RFCs), there's still an argument to be had on keeping things lean and efficient

@mashers hei. Is it possible to add shortcouts for the brightness? And maybe for wifi. Brightness would be very helpful.

 

[ketal]

idk if it was already reported, but the booting sound gets cut after the launcher has booted

 

[JJTapia19]

@masher Would you be able to implement a timer tipe of thing for the splash screen? I've noticed it takes longer to load the hbl with splashscreen like if it's locked to 5 seconds or more. It would be great if we could set how much time we would like the splashcreen to stay with a default of 2 or 3 seconds to let the launcher load

I don't know if ctrulib supports adjusting the brightness. And the hook used for toggling wifi no longer works in hax 2.5.

Oh that might be because it's on the same channel as the bgm. I can change that.

Do you mean you want the splash screen to show for longer?
