Compatibility
Custom themes on a homebrew-enabled Vita. No exact firmware range or PS TV claim published by this author.

Install & storage paths

  1. Prepare your model and firmwareUse the existing Vita jailbreak and CFW guides first. Do not change firmware just to match a download. Numeric support is listed only where the author provides it. Vita 1000 needs usable memory-card storage; Vita 2000 and PS TV have internal storage.
  2. Move a VPK using VitaShellUse VitaShell USB or FTP from your computer. ux0: is the active user-storage mount, whether it is an official card, internal storage or correctly configured SD2Vita. A folder such as ux0:downloads/ is a suggested transfer location.
  3. Install the package, then add its dataOpen the VPK in VitaShell and complete the installation prompts. Data ZIPs are not installable VPKs: extract each one at the specific destination on its card, preserving folder names.
  4. Add plugins to the active tai configurationBack up the active config before editing. Kernel SKPRX entries use *KERNEL; shell/user SUPRX entries use their author-specified section. ur0:tai/config.txt is the normal location on this site’s Ensō setup. If ux0:tai/config.txt is active, use its folder and paths consistently. Restart after a plugin change.
