Hacking Trouble creating Package Installer bubble

[sj33]

I'm following this guide over at HackInformer to create a bubble for the package installer.

http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide/PSV/tutorials/how_to_create_the_pkg_installer_bubble.html

It seems very easy, until I get to Step 3: 11. It says I need to set the email subject to the path I want the file to be installed to. I assume this is 'ur0:shell/db/app.db.' so I set it as this. However, I then follow the instructions, restart the console as stated, yet no bubble appears.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

remove the full stop from the end of 'ur0:shell/db/app.db.' so it is just 'ur0:shell/db/app.db' without a full stop. full stops are only used for dumping.

Unless that was a typo?

As Voxel said: the full-stop is the issue. Check the screenshot in the tutorial, you'll see there is no full-stop in the e-mail subject.

It still doesn't appear when when writing the subject path without the '.'

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is the database being rebuild when you start the console?
It should not be updated.

Also: In step 8: don't forget to specify the number values of the columns (it's something that's missing from the guide).

Make sure you also specify a correct position in the menu for the icon: check this image to know the base number: http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide/PSV/tutorials/images/appdb_iconpositions.png

Do you mind if I send my db your way? I'm very sure I'm doing everything correctly, I've specified the number values (though this appears to be automatic), and the databse is not being rebuilt.

Check your PM.

I believe this thread can be closed, the issue has been resolved.

I'll leave this info here for future reference, in case someone needs it.


Following values were fixed in app.db:

Values on the tbl_appinfo_icon table.
"pageID" and "pos" values for the entry of package installer we're both 10/10.
pageID was changed to 6; pos to 9; and added missing values "5" "0" and "0" to the entry of the table.

Always remember that "pos" value goes from 0 to 9, 10 does not exist.
"pageID" was change to match with other titles already installed in the system. Of course, this can then be freely moved around in the LiveArea.
