Itemzflow PS4 / PS5 Game Manager, Home Menu PKG, Launcher Payloads & etaHEN for PS5

Following the previous updates, PS4Scene developer @LightningMods on Twitter released an open source alternative to Sony's ShellUI PS4 Home Menu and PS4 / PS5 Game Manager called Itemzflow alongside an Itemzflow Companion APK to control the Itemz-Daemon launched with Itemzflow from an Android device and Itemzflow Launcher Payloads in the spoiler below with an etaHEN AIO Homebrew Enabler exploit host (based on the modified PS5 host to load PlayStation 5 payloads within the browser from idlesauce) via LightningMods_ supporting PS5 Hacked Consoles in the PS5Scene.
