The repository:
In the days after the release of Henkaku hack, and the following PSVita DB Theme Installer 360, one of the most frequent questions I read around on forums and social networks was:

"Where can I download custom themes for my PSVita?"

Of course there were already threads or posts collecting custom themes in various sites, but often they were messed up because of people comments, many preview images of different size and type, download links from many different file hosting services, etc... Hence the idea of creating a repository that was simple, fast, mobile friendly, but still complete and free, where all users could find and download custom themes for their console in few seconds. And so here is the PSVita Custom Themes - Free Repository!
In this repository you will find custom themes created by amateur users, collected from around the web and then tested, arranged and reuploaded on Google Drive so that they can be ready to download and use. Obviously it was impossible to retrieve any existing custom theme on the web and many of those found had no more valid download link. However this repository includes a public feature to submit a custom theme to be added, so whether you are the creator of a new custom theme or you have just found one around the web that is not currently included in the repository, you can easily submit it so that it could be added soon.

Disclaimer:
The custom themes in this repository have been collected from around the web. All rights on them therefore belong to the rightful owners.
This repository is completely free. Its author (@redsquirrel87) is in no way related to the creators of these custom themes and therefore he does NOT take any responsibility for their contents. For any dispute about a custom theme in this repository you can use the Contact Us form to ask for details or the removal of content that, always unintentionally, may have caused you a damage in any way.
The custom themes in this repository have all been checked and clean from malicious files, despite this it is still possible that you may experience some unknown problems out of our controls. For this reason please remember that you are using the custom themes in this repository always at your own risk.
Since there will be a function in PSVita DB Theme Installer 360 that will let users to download custom themes from this repository and to install them directly on their PSVita memory card, all extra files and subfolders have been deleted from the ZIP packages of the custom themes to save space. They will be still available as separate download.

Thanks:

• The first special thanks goes definitely to the staff and the community of Hackinformer.com, since that most of the custom themes in this repository at the time of its creation was taken from their database you can find here.
• Another special thanks goes to the reddit community too, where some of the custom themes were taken.
• A huge thank you also to all the donors who contribute to cover the web hosting costs of the repository and help to keep it ad-free!
• Finally of course a special thanks to all the creators of these fantastic custom themes and to those who in the future will help to keep updated the repository by reporting and by submitting more new custom themes!

Javascript libraries used by this website: jQuery v1.11.1 and jQuery mobile v1.4.5

Please be sure to read these important notes before to submit a custom theme:

• All the details about your custom theme (title, version, author, etc...) will be acquired automatically from its theme.xml file! For this reason before to submit your custom theme please be sure all the fields inside the theme.xml file are correct, especially when you have used another existing theme as a starting point (otherwise in the repository your theme will show the title, the author, etc... from the old theme!).
• Please take in mind that the lockscreen preview and homescreen preview images (m_startPreviewFilePath and m_homePreviewFilePath tag values in theme.xml file) will be used by the repository to show your theme in its home page and they will be used by Custom Themes Manager PSVita app too. For this reason please try to avoid to use generic images or backgrounds and take ACTUAL preview images from your PSVita console (to take a screenshot in the PSVita just press the PS + START buttons at the same time!) so as to make it easier for users to judge whether your custom theme is worth a download.
• The custom theme needs to pass the validation process with a 100% validation score. You can find the free validator script to do all the tests you need always online at the following address: Online Validator.
• After submitting a theme for the first time an user key will be generated for you. Keep it safe and make sure you don't lose it! If you attach it to each submission then, after 5 custom themes have been accepted, you will able to publish your custom theme in the repository directly, without waiting for the moderation process!

Finally please be sure to always respect the following rules:

The submitted custom theme does NOT have to:

1. be an Official Theme (a theme existing on any region of the PlayStation Store, even if it's free to download);
2. include fake preview images (the preview images of home and lock screen must actually show how the theme looks and not mislead the user by showing things that are different from how they will actually look!)
3. include any personal text not in English on its images or details. This to avoid insults or any unwanted text in languages that we can not understand and so moderate;
4. include in its images the faces or any other recognizable signs of private people, because we can not know whether those people agree to share their image.
   Please note that of course public pictures of famous characters such as movies actors, sport players, internationally renowned singers, etc... do not fall under this rule (unless you are using any private or stolen pictures of them);
5. include offensive images against any individual, religion or brand;
6. include any NSFW content, even if censored¹⁾;

Custom themes which will not respect these few rules will be rejected or deleted and your user key cancelled.

¹⁾ Even if in the past similar content was allowed thanks to censorship and the fact that the files physically resided on third-party hosting services (Imgur and Google Drive) now with the transition to the new web hosting and the fact that images and files are stored directly on its server we have been notified of the obligation not to upload, store or show any kind of pornographic material which could break its ToS and therefore sorry but we can no longer accept similar contents to avoid any possibility, even the slightest, of service suspension or account termination. In any case, we want to specify that only 9 of the 1662 Custom Themes submitted in the last 7 years in the repository have been removed because of this, so luckily this limitation should not be a significant loss of contents for the repository.

How to install, uninstall and use custom themes?

• If your PSVita has a firmware compatible with Henkaku, Enso or h-encore hacks (so from 3.60 to 3.68) you can use one of the following tools to fully manage custom themes:

  • Custom Themes Manager: it's an app (homebrew) for PSVita that allows you to fully manage your custom themes directly from the console itself. It has functions to browse, download and install any custom theme from the online repository or to install custom themes offline, to uninstall any custom theme previously installed, as well as secondary functions to dump official themes, to upgrade already installed custom themes, to manage cache and partitions, etc...
    Although full of features, the app is very easy to use, just follow the many instructions at screen (sometimes you need to press SQUARE to show/hide commands list and explanations) and you will learn how to use it in no time.
  • PSVita DB Theme Installer: it's a PC software written in JAVA (so compatible with any OS such as Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, etc...) that allows you to fully manage your custom themes via FTP. It has functions to install custom themes folders, to download and install any custom theme from the online repository, to uninstall any custom theme previously installed, to dump official themes or to backup/restore your PSVita database.
    The program has a very simple GUI with explanations and just one button dedicated for every function, so it's very easy to use!
    Please remember that to connect the program to your PSVita you need to use a FTP server on the console (you can use homebrews such as MolecularShell or VitaShell that implement such a function or just any FTP server homebrew for PSVita).

• Otherwise if your PSVita has a firmware that is not hackable or any official firmware, to install any custom theme you can only use the "injection" in system backups procedure. Unfortunately it's a much longer and more complex procedure, but it's the only possibility that exists for now. You can find a detailed tutorial for this procedure on HackInformer.com. About the uninstallation in this case, you can use the same procedure (deleting them manually from the system backup folders and the PSVita database file) or just a more drastic (but faster) procedure such as restoring the PSVita database from the recovery mode and formatting the Memory Card.

Final note: whatever procedure you choose to install the custom themes, please remember that the installation procedure will not automatically apply the custom theme on your PSVita. You have to manually change the current theme of your PSVita using the Settings app. If you don't know how to do it, you can find a step-by-step guide just below:
