it was actually fairly simple, the icon for games/apps is used to define a few things such as region, it also has a flag to hide it from the homemenu, all I did was edit the icon to make it visible then repacked it as a standard app, the eu/Japanese versions had a issue of crashing the system on exiting, then I found out that the US version repacked didn't have this issue, so I took the exheader from the US version and changed the titleID to match that of the eu/jpn versions which allowed them too to exit without crashing the system

I just use the title ID as a badge of smealum for quick access to my wifi transfer on my N3ds lol
How do you get a badge to launch a hidden/system title? What tools do I need?

Do I have to uninstall the existing title first, then install your build to SD card, or does it have to be installed to NAND?

Just rename the png to the title ID mine is EUR so I named the png to "microSD Managment .20025100.png" installnit using GYTB put it on home screen and profit it will throw an error when you exit wireless management cause it's meant to go back to settings but just ignore it

Wow, too easy! Thank you. I was expecting something a little more complicated and "hacky".

New question, what is that theme you're using?

just thought i would share something i think a lot of you will find useful, new 3DS and old 3DS users alike, its the microSD management app running as a standalone app on the home screen, this allows you have access to the microSD on the n3DS without opening the back cover or being kicked out of emunand, and for old 3DS users it will allow you to transfer files over reliably without having to exit emunand and remove the SD card .....as per usual no sharing on gbatemp, but i have told someone else how to do it too so they will probably share it elsewhere "soon"....but i heard people like to know whats coming before its even arrived so here you go :)

Will you need CFW for this?

there was, but try the method mentioned above using a badge to launch it instead, seems like an easier task
Can you tell me what to do exactly?
Do i need to install the app, reneame the PNG with "microSD Managment .20023100.png", put it in a badges folder on the SD and install it with GYTB?
