[Gaikonaiko]

I re-encrypted it with Decrypt9WIP.
But FBi is always giving me the error "Already exists" even after i desinstalled the Home Menu.

Are you using the latest FBI version?

Try first installing stock Home Menu (encrypted!!), even if it's the currently installed one. Then try, without leaving FBI, to install your edited one (also encrypted).

Always make sure you have a nand backup.

 

[Gaikonaiko]

I have a Nand backup. (I restored 4 times my NAND because I bricked 4 times)
And yes,I'm using the latest FBI version. I will try what you have told me.

Hmm,that's weird. The versions of the Home Menus are different. And the installed sizes are too.

EDIT : Still getting the same error.

Home menu CIA has changed on the 11.3 update, so you have to Download the New version with 3DSNUS.

Then, do your changes using that as base.

Ah,I see. Thanks. Also,is it alright if I use a 32-bit build of makerom ? Because I don't have any 64-bit computers.

Go here: https://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/titlelist.php?date=02-06-17_07-00-47&sys=ktr

That's the list of changed files on 11.3

Search Home Menu and find your corresponding Title ID and Title Version of your Home Menu (check your 3ds region). Then, download that CIA with 3DSNUS, decrypt it and edit it.

It should be okay if the CIA is created. The edited file size may be different from the original one but that's not a problem.

 

[Gaikonaiko]

I got it,I'm downloading the .cia with 3DNUS right now. Thanks for your help ! Also,yes the CIA is created when I use that build. The edited one is a tiny bit larger. (1 Ko bigger)

Uh... I re-read, and don't understand why you're trying to decompress the SystemApps.000 file itself.

When I say to decompress files, I meant files with LZ in the name, and they are in the ExtractedRomFS folder.

There is no extracted RomFS folder.

Oh right, I forgot this shit...
Yeah, try to edit bat files, and change ONLY the name

Change it to what?

Will this work for a o3ds on 11.3 and if bricked do i just restore the sysnand?

Is it possible to edit home menu so that it will not nag a system update? I want to stays on 11.2 but the update prompt is annoying!

 

[miraclaime]

Can i add an image to this ?

 

[MrMann]

I tried to download the .cia of the homemenu and it either was stuck on creating a cia or did not work at all. I am using the 11.3 homemenu titleversion as well.

 

[omegasoul6]

Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

 

[Hyoretsu]

How do I make a home menu mod for 11.4?

I'm curious, luma's layeredfs implementation. Does it work with the home menu so that I could possibly change it without messing around with the cia itself?

Sadly, it does not. https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/issues/410

I have my own Catalan translation of the Home Menu and I also receive an error while trying to access to the eShop, for example, but for avoid that I use Free Multi Patcher (I know that's an old app, but it works). However, it would be cool if we could apply some kind of firmware spoofing to the cia...

Is it possible to extract a Home Menu CIA from NAND?
