03-09-2011, 11:24 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); well i think we all know those annoying xmb icons nobody uses
this is a tutorial to remove them, its easy and simple!
note: be careful in flash any bad actions may result in brick

pre requirements
    
* ps3_blind / abestOS
* any filemanager


Steps
    
1. run your app that allows read/write to flash

    
2. Exit and open up your filemanager

    
3. go to the directory: rw_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb

    
4. now find what icon you dont want (lets say netflix), find the .xml for it

    
5. Just delete it! (should make a backup first)

    
6. Restart PS3, DONE!


To delete the icon files

1. Go to rw_flash/vsh/resource/explore
then you should have icon/xmb/netflix/user

2. Pick any of those 3 except xmb then browse,copy and delete img files!

Are you high?
That's sweet. It would suck to brick your ps3 doing it though.

This thread sucks! Happy Joking. It's actually pretty nice, but can't you brick your PS3 by doing this?

you suck! joking. XD anyway this does not brick, i was scared when experimenting with this b/c well it is the flash. But then remember MFW builder? It has the option to remove xmb icons and options. All its doing is not evening including it in the CFW itself

also I have found where the TOS is stored
