Organizing Your PS3 APPs On The XMB
 

NZHawk and DarkHacker have made a small discovery regarding the PS3 organization of the XMB for jail broken PS3s.While they were experimenting with PARAM.SFO files they have discovered how place files/apps into various categories on the XMB screen.To achieve this all they needed to do was to change or a small modification to the category string in the PARAM.SFO except users and friend settings.Below NZHawk explains further.

Well I was talking to DarkHarker about param.sfo files and that. He asked me to try changing the CATAGORY string to 'HM' and see what it did. It made the package install under the Playstation Network catagory on the XMB. DarkHacker and I then worked out the rest of the catagories that its possible to install and run hombrew applications to the xmb, and found them all except Users, Settings and Friends (which all seem to be filled with the xml files in the vsh flash folder). String Category HM Playstation Network CB Network HG Game AV Video AM Music AP Photo AT TV I thought this was quite interesting, and would be great if we could add a Hombrew catagory to the xmb and make all hombrew apps install under it to make some hombrew standard, much like the wii has. (Also has anyone though about making a database of hombrew Title IDs to keep track?) Oh, and its possible to change this location after install via application settings.

SOURCE

well i thought that has been known for some time now, i also read his blog post, and then he confirmed that someone found it before.

still its great now we can post homebrew wherever we want! i am putting my homebrew on the psn section XD

Ultimatehacker, just post a summary of what the news is and link source, you shouldnt just copy paste someone else's post. or, just dont post at all, and one of the mods will find it and post it.

okay just saving the trouble and i didn't entirely copy it just the quotes to be exact
the introduction/explanation is all mine.

in future just explain it then, and link the original post, its good that your trying, but may upset the original source of the news. Unless its from that other site, that we dont care about ;)

one more thing madshaun1984 is my pc really hacked ??? because it says so in your image/signature i know this is entirely out of context so please don't flag or report this post thanks

lol no your not hacked, it just mirrors your ip back at you, and tells you its hacked, (which obviously works as you thought I had hacked you lol)

:D thanks for pointing that out coz i just got a new mac again please don't flag as i just wanted to make sure :D Are you gonna front page this by any chance i mean the post ??

Whilst not directly the same, it is an almost clone, also in future when quoting, the tags are

or just use the quote button.
You are new at doing this and i understand that some mistakes can be made and you did quote your source, which is a good thing.

Regarding this thread, you could have started by saying "PS3HaX members NZHawk and Darkhacker................", but you will know for next time.

Last thing, thanks for taking your time to post.

I couldnt find the link to this evidence but thanks to Rasputin, here it is
