Developer VitaHEX has a new creation for the PS Vita / PlayStation TV community, following the recent PS Vita / PS4 Homebrew release Consolepedia (seen here on PS4 and Vita). Now the dev is back with the release of a new project titled HexFlow Launcher. With this app you will be to launch your games and also homebrew with a 3D CoverFlow interface that allows for Custom Covers to be used as well. The eye candy looks great and comes with some good features out of the gate in this that has just been updated to v0.2.x following the initial release this past weekend.
In v0.2 there has been added support for PSP (adrenaline) bubbles, A new settings menu, new viewing option that displays a bigger view, plus various other changes (v0.2.1 hot fix was just issues as well, so if you have already updated to 0.2 beware there was a quick hotfix) in what appears to be another great projects for the Vita, which has been no stranger to some great homebrew.
