PSVita Custom Themes
Free Repository

Updates changelog

The repository:
In the days after the release of Henkaku hack, and the following PSVita DB Theme Installer 360, one of the most frequent questions I read around on forums and social networks was:

"Where can I download custom themes for my PSVita?"

Of course there were already threads or posts collecting custom themes in various sites, but often they were messed up because of people comments, many preview images of different size and type, download links from many different file hosting services, etc... Hence the idea of ​​creating a repository that was simple, fast, mobile friendly, but still complete and free, where all users could find and download custom themes for their console in few seconds. And so here is the PSVita Custom Themes - Free Repository!
In this repository you will find custom themes created by amateur users, collected from around the web and then tested, arranged and reuploaded on Google Drive so that they can be ready to download and use. Obviously it was impossible to retrieve any existing custom theme on the web and many of those found had no more valid download link. However this repository includes a public feature to submit a custom theme to be added, so whether you are the creator of a new custom theme or you have just found one around the web that is not currently included in the repository, you can easily submit it so that it could be added soon.

Disclaimer:
The custom themes in this repository have been collected from around the web. All rights on them therefore belong to the rightful owners.
This repository is completely free. Its author (@redsquirrel87) is in no way related to the creators of these custom themes and therefore he does NOT take any responsibility for their contents. For any dispute about a custom theme in this repository you can use the Contact Us form to ask for details or the removal of content that, always unintentionally, may have caused you a damage in any way.
The custom themes in this repository have all been checked and clean from malicious files, despite this it is still possible that you may experience some unknown problems out of our controls. For this reason please remember that you are using the custom themes in this repository always at your own risk.
The custom themes in this repository have been reuploaded into a Google Drive account. This brings the advantage of a direct download without speed limits but this also means that in case of downloading abuses the files may suffer the classic 24-hour suspension by Google. I therefore appeal to your common sense to avoid this from happening, so that all users could continue to use this service.
Since there will be a function in PSVita DB Theme Installer 360 that will let users to download custom themes from this repository and to install them directly on their PSVita memory card, all extra files and subfolders have been deleted from the ZIP packages of the custom themes to save space. They will be still available as separate download (but they will be uploaded on Mediafire to save space on the main Google Drive account).

Thanks:

• Finally of course a special thanks to all the creators of these fantastic custom themes and to those who in the future will help to keep updated the repository by reporting and by submitting more new custom themes!

If you still want to share your variation of the theme, please submit it not as an update but as a totally different new theme (changing the title and what you wish, such as the colors, BGM or images, etc...) and writing in the description that it is indeed just a variant of an already existing theme (so as to give credits to the original author).

Please be sure to read these important notes before to submit a custom theme:

• The submitted custom theme will go through a moderation process and some tests before being included in the main list of the repository, to check if everything works well and clean the package from extra files. Due to technical problems (lack of personnel and consoles), this procedure can take a long time, so please be patient. However until then the custom theme will still publicly downloadable from the separate list of submitted custom themes.
• In case of rejection you'll can view the reason in the list you can find in the submitted custom themes page.
• To speed up the moderation process please be sure to fill all the fields below and to attach ACTUAL preview images of homescreen and lockscreen (to take a screenshot in the PSVita just press the PS+START buttons at the same time!).
• You have to submit an url where download the custom theme. You can use free file hosting services like Mediafire to upload your custom theme and get a download link to use here.
• The only mandatory fields below are the preview images and the download link of the custom theme, but if you fill all the other fields below the custom theme will have more info for the users who want to try it before the moderation. However, when inserted in the repository, all the details about the custom theme will be acquired from its theme.xml file (for this reason please be sure it's correctly updated if you took it from another existing theme!).
• The name of the submitter will appear in the submitted custom themes list to thank you, leave it blank for anonymous submissions.

And please be sure to respect the following rules:

• be an Official Theme (a theme existing on any region of the PlayStation Store, even if it's free to download);
• include any personal text not in English on its images or details. This to avoid insults or any unwanted text in languages that we can not understand and so moderate;
• include in its images the faces or any other recognizable signs of private people, because we can not know whether those people agree to share their image.
  Please note that of course public pictures of famous characters such as movies actors, sport players, internationally renowned singers, etc... do not fall under this rule (unless you are using any private or stolen pictures of them);
• include offensive images against any individual, religion or brand;
• include any explicit sexual content;

Custom themes which will not respect these few rules will be rejected.

Before to submit your Custom Theme please validate it!
The validation will give you a preliminary analysis about your Custom Theme, telling you if there are any problems and tips on how to solve them.

How to install, uninstall and use custom themes?

• If your PSVita has a firmware compatible with Henkaku, Enso or h-encore hacks (so from 3.60 to 3.68) you can use one of the following tools to fully manage custom themes:

  • Custom Themes Manager: it's an app (homebrew) for PSVita that allows you to fully manage your custom themes directly from the console itself. It has functions to browse, download and install any custom theme from the online repository or to install custom themes offline, to uninstall any custom theme previously installed, as well as secondary functions to dump official themes, to upgrade already installed custom themes, to manage cache and partitions, etc...
    Although full of features, the app is very easy to use, just follow the many instructions at screen (sometimes you need to press SQUARE to show/hide commands list and explanations) and you will learn how to use it in no time.
  • PSVita DB Theme Installer: it's a PC software written in JAVA (so compatible with any OS such as Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, etc...) that allows you to fully manage your custom themes via FTP. It has functions to install custom themes folders, to download and install any custom theme from the online repository, to uninstall any custom theme previously installed, to dump official themes or to backup/restore your PSVita database.
    The program has a very simple GUI with explanations and just one button dedicated for every function, so it's very easy to use!
    Please remember that to connect the program to your PSVita you need to use a FTP server on the console (you can use homebrews such as MolecularShell or VitaShell that implement such a function or just any FTP server homebrew for PSVita).

• Otherwise if your PSVita has a firmware that is not hackable or any official firmware, to install any custom theme you can only use the "injection" in system backups procedure. Unfortunately it's a much longer and more complex procedure, but it's the only possibility that exists for now. You can find a detailed tutorial for this procedure on HackInformer.com. About the uninstallation in this case, you can use the same procedure (deleting them manually from the system backup folders and the PSVita database file) or just a more drastic (but faster) procedure such as restoring the PSVita database from the recovery mode and formatting the Memory Card.

Final note: whatever procedure you choose to install the custom themes, please remember that the installation procedure will not automatically apply the custom theme on your PSVita. You have to manually change the current theme of your PSVita using the Settings app. If you don't know how to do it, you can find a step-by-step guide just below:
