DELETING VITA STOCK APPLICATIONS

Note from Staff:

We do not suggest trying this as it could cause problems such as bricks, If you follow this guide its at your own risk.

HOW TO DELETE VITA STOCK APPLICATIONS.

Here is a quick tutorial for anyone who is interested. :)


1) Load up the Henkaku Exploit, run Vita RW (when it hangs press the PS Button and go back into the application)
it will say done, and exiting in 5 seconds.

2) Navigate to ur0:shell/db/ & upload your app.db file to https://anthe.studio/bubblestudio/ take note of the long NPXS1000X these letters & numbers as you'll need those to hand.

3) Now that you have your app.db file uploaded, locate the application that you wish to remove, remember that string of letters and numbers? On the bubble web application, click on the application you want to remove, you'll have NPXS1000X shown in bold. then the name of the application & location as to where the icons are stored.

4) Go to vs0:app/ You'll see a long list of folders, now look back at your list on the bubblestudio web application. Delete the folders that correspond to the application name. *for Welcome Park there are a few other folders you'll need to delete located in pd0:/app*

5) Then boot into safe mode, by turning off your Vita first, then holding the Power + PS Button + Right Shoulder Button. I find it easier to turn the Vita on its side to do this.
Then once you're in Safe Mode, go to 2. Rebuild Database.

This will take about 10 or so seconds, once that's finished, you'll back back at your homescreen, without any of the other applications you dont needed. Do not delete NPX10031 ot anything in NPX10015 (this holds a fair amount of the system settings and such)
