HexLauncher Custom, also known as VitaHex Launcher Custom or HexFlow Launcher Unofficial Custom, is a revamp mod for VitaHEX's 3D coverflow style launcher for PS Vita.
VitaHEX's HexFlow Launcher is an application that display and launch your games and homebrews in style.
What's New:
*Roughly the same startup time as the previous version, but no more refreshing cache, even for hundreds of apps!!!!!
*This is an intermediary release. Still working out an annoying GPU crash for the RetroFlow integration and the lag caused by grid view before either of those 2 features get released. It's just that someone requested what's stable to be released.
**Removed the "Refresh Cache" and any settings related to startup scan.
**New function switch_generator()... I worked very hard on it and it improves the app a LOT.
**1: It reads the ENTIRE app folder almost instantly. This is better than Vita Launcher (which just reads app.db) because this should be able to display anything that couldn't get added to app.db
**2: It almost instantly checks for any new covers for every app on startup.
**3: Slightly faster overrides and cover downloads
**4: It improves startup time slightly
**5: In the unreleased version, it has been harnessed to instantly load all the RetroFlow ROM's and their overrides/renames/covers.
**Reformatted the font files (credit RetroFlow) and optimized image metadata to reduce startup times
**Cleaned up a the code a little bit. Ex: in cache writer
**New Startup Category "Return to Last Played Game/Category" (Credit fwannmacher)
**You can now tap in SwitchView
**You can now also use analog sticks or tapping to access the bottom menu in SwitchView
**Upgraded the secret select+L/R jump-by-alphabet feature to be more like RetroFlow's (skip numbers, always go to first-of-a-kind)
**Fixed an extremely rare crash related to select+L
**Minor bugfix for shadows in SwitchView.
**Now using Rinnegatamante's app title bugfix. Should fix Invictaz's issue regarding an app with a corrupt apptitle.
*Downgrades:
**Removed the Language 10 - Chinese - temporarily since some letters aren't displaying right. Will have to import the fix from RetroFlow. The translation file is up-to-date though.
**Removed 3 "less popular" backgrounds - Wood 2, Marble, and Playstation Pattern 2
**index.lua is the source code
