Since their last PS4 1.76 UI Mod update and following the 4.05 PS4 Kernel Exploit release, today the PlayStation 4 developers at e✘treme-Modding.de unveiled a PS4 4.05 UI Mod Alpha 0.13 Custom Home Menu with some fresh screenshots and details below.
To quote from their blog, roughly translated: PS4 4.05 UI Mod alpha 0.13 [UK/FR] by e✘treme
Visual PS4 UI Mod for 4.05 (English/French)
1. Install Firmware 4.05 (initializing)
2. Enable FTP Server and copy the content of the Mod_UK/Mod_FR folder to the root of the PS4 HDD
3. Restart the PS4
Info: The Games folder in the Home Menu appear if you have installed CUSA00851 and the app.db work only if your System Language is English (United Kingdom) or French.
Trophy Edit will not work if you have earned Trophies already. GAME Launcher and APP_Home(data) appear if you have installed GTA V Disc (CUSA00411) and OMSK (NPXS29005). PSN User Avatar is only for a PS4 with PSN User.
Note: This Mod is not 100% complete on 4.05 yet, TV & Video icon and Internet-Browser icon is not changed. Thanks to Simple Person and valentinbreiz for dumping app.db (more details HERE and HERE) and testing.
Update: Here's a few new screenshots and a demo video from e✘treme of their latest PS4 4.05 UI Mod Alpha 0.16 with details below, to quote roughly translated: Visual PS4 UI Mod on Firmware 4.05 – Custom Home Menu
