Following his previous release, PlayStation 4 developer @LightningMods shared a screenshot on Twitter of what he calls PS4 CEX2Semi-DEX geared towards those with a retail jailbreakable PS4 5.05 Firmware console.

If you're new to the PlayStation scene or unaware, CEX typically refers to a retail console whereas DEX designates a Developer (Debug / Test) unit or the features thereof such as Debug Settings.
According to the Tweets below while DEX loads on boot a HEN is still required, but as mentioned most newer PS4 games contain a higher software development kit version so they won't work on a 5.05 console meaning the wait continues for a Future PS4 Jailbreak Exploit... and to quote from LightningMods:
"I think as far as practicality it's pretty practical considering you just need to install once and it's there forever, usefulness I just like the UI and debug shortcut, it's mostly only for testkit lovers, like a theme."
DO NOT use leeful74's Ps-phwoar exploit host with any of my apps until he fixes it or you get a kernel panic.

• Note I’ve tested this 6x already to make sure that this is a safe homebrew.
• This won’t allow you to get online or play games higher then 5.05 FW.
• Take this is as a “theme” and a UI change. *Debug settings at the home screen*
