Homebrew [RELEASE] Howling Theme Tool - Create your own CIA theme packages with Custom and Official themes

[PrincessLillie]

This guide says not to use FBI to install the CIA but that is the only tool I have ever used to install CIA files and I cannot find the tool recommended, DEVMENU

Is this still the case or is this outdated information, or is there a tool to use now instead of FBI other than DEVMENU?

EDIT: NM I found Devmenu but it is old and I also found "Themely" which seems like a better alternative. Still learning a lot on this 3DS

DEVMENU is a Nintendo Developer tool used to install CIA packages onto the 3DS. Due to the nature of the file, we cannot distribute links here, but many people recommend it.
Also, you can use Themely for themes, but people have recently been recommending the new 3DS theme manager Anemone3DS by @astronautlevel. Use either Themely or Anemone3DS while you wait for the update.

So do you think we'll have this before 2018?

Hopefully not. It will destroy the meme in this thread.

I guess it isn't likely that we'll have it before 2018.

Skipped to the last page, but does this work with official AND user created themes? Or are those different formats?

I should have mentioned, the technical details to it.

Well, to be honest, that wasn't really a "fix", I'm not that smart. More of a workaround.
That's TitleID variation spoofing, HOME Menu supports up to 10 variations for DLC.
And eShop ignores every variation that isn't occupied by officialy released themes yet.
So, this may be temporary, but I doubt we'll ever get that many official themes (at least for EUR/USA).
The only downside is that Theme Shop won't let you redownload your themes from "My Collection" menu, or whatever it's called, you'll have to either download them before installing custom pack, or find a page for each theme in the Shop.
