Thanks for the topic, but it seems advanced yet for me, is there no other way, some program developed for the PS3 to delete these files without accessing the flash memory manually?Take a look here http://www.psx-place.com/threads/ho...d-icons-from-the-xmb-netflix-amazon-etc.11350
I stated in the above thread that rebuilding database would demand redoing the process but I've rebuilded a few times since then and the xml's and icons remained corrupted, so scratch that. Only a firmware reinstall would restore them.
Unfortunately that's the simplest way to do it without having to cut through xml's and rco's from the memory flash, take a careful read and attempt it, it's quite simple and harmless actually, as long as you backup your files.Thanks for the topic, but it seems advanced yet for me, is there no other way, some program developed for the PS3 to delete these files without accessing the flash memory manually?
There is another way this can be done too that will delete ALL the TV icons permanently and for ALL users/regions, this is maybe useful if you don't use your PS3 for streaming at all. It requires modifying the category_tv.xml slightly, the file is located at dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/xml/ (this is a simple flash mod that shouldn't cause any issues, but still..do this at your risk) , all you need to do is copy the file to your PC and remove the following entry with a text editor, then copy it back to your PS3 (make a backup of the file first incase you make a mistake):
You will not ever need to redo this mod unless you update the firmware, rebuilding database will not effect it.Code:<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="gameDir" src="xil://localhost/list?t=tv" />
<Query

key="seg_welcome"
attr="seg_welcome"
src="sel://localhost/welcome?type=tv"
/>
I'm starting now with the editions XML, I'm still inexperienced,But I'm studying hard not to make mistakes and so help other people in the future. I'll read your topic calmly and try to make the evening. Thank you very much for the strength my friendUnfortunately that's the simplest way to do it without having to cut through xml's and rco's from the memory flash, take a careful read and attempt it, it's quite simple and harmless actually, as long as you backup your files.
Thanks for the encouragement,friendThis way is quite easy:
It is the very same as the mod you did yesterday to remove XMBPD from the XMBM+ xmls. It is not very risky, just backup your original file first, the worst thing that can happen is that all items in the TV category don't work.
That will delete the icons like Netflix, remove this entry to delete the channels thing:
Code:<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="seg_welcome" attr="seg_welcome" src="sel://localhost/welcome?type=tv" />



Thanks for the encouragement,friend
I have learned very with you theses days
If it's like editions of XMBM+, it does not seem to be difficult then
Everything is still new to me, so at first it may seem difficult, but it must be false impression
To enable these editions,should I enable dev_blind with mM or wM?
One thing I forgot to ask, after I installed XMBPD and Launchpad, can I delete installers of XMB?
I just do not understand the part of HxD, should I open NSXWSV-PN.P3.PE-XMB_COLUMN_TV.xml with HxD and change some values so the PS3 does ignore the file?You can enable dev_blind any way you want, and you can get the file any way you want. I find FTP the easiest, copy file to my PC, edit it, copy it back to dev_blind and reboot.
Yes you can delete those 2 installers.
But if I do by your method I will not be able to install no-psn app?There are 2 different methods for doing this. For the method I mentioned you do not need to touch any of those files.
Just edit the category_tv.xml , no other files.
But if I do by your method I will not be able to install no-psn app?

I just want to remove the official app, but I want to leave installed the apps that are no-psn.Im not sure what you want to remove, if you just remove the channels item you should be fine. try it.
Just remove:
Code:<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="seg_welcome" attr="seg_welcome" src="sel://localhost/welcome?type=tv" />
I would like to know if almost everything at system PS3 is built with XML? Or is there another language?
Thanks for giving me a directionNo, everything is built in C & C++.
The PS3 is running a modified version of FreeBSD so basically it's a Linux OS underneath the XMB...
XML is only a markup language, it can be used as a database but it does not create executable files. On the PS3, it is basically used to store the information concerning the categories & entries of the XMB.

,If you want more details about the XMB & the PS3 OS, I suggest you read this http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/XMB & other related pages from the wiki.Thanks for giving me a direction
really I was lost in languages,but now I have a way to study. For the time being, I want to get just a sense of how the PS3 system structure works. It's too bad reading comments and not understanding almost Nothing of what is spoken,
Thanks for the link bguerville, this content will help me a lotIf you want more details about the XMB & the PS3 OS, I suggest you read this http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/XMB & other related pages from the wiki.
