LiveArea NoLimits
livearea_nolimits.suprx is a taiHEN user plugin for the PlayStation Vita retail FW 3.60 and FW 3.65 SceShell, with a separate PTEL/testkit 3.60 profile. It changes the home-screen limits to:
50 pages;
10 top-level icons per page, unchanged from the firmware;
500 top-level icons in total;
1,000 counted application/content icons instead of 500.
The plugin validates every original instruction before applying any injection. It selects a patch profile by the loaded SceShell module NID and verifies its text-segment size and the expected code at every patch site. HENkaku version spoofing can remain enabled: the plugin does not use the system-version API. This protects unsupported firmware versions and already-modified shells from blind writes. Version 1.6.0 is built in Release mode with runtime logging disabled, including when the icon-cache correction is enabled.

## Expanded firmware support
This release includes **31 validated firmware/hardware profiles**:
| Hardware | Firmware versions |
| --- | --- |
| Retail PS Vita / PSTV | 3.60, 3.61, 3.63, 3.65, 3.67, 3.68, 3.69, 3.70, 3.71, 3.72, 3.73, 3.74 |
| Testkit | 3.60, 3.61, 3.63, 3.65, 3.67, 3.68, 3.70, 3.72, 3.73 |
| Devkit | 3.60, 3.61, 3.63, 3.65, 3.67, 3.68, 3.69, 3.70, 3.71, 3.73 |
Kit profiles correspond to external `3.xxx.011` builds. **Testkit 3.69, 3.71 and 3.74 and devkit 3.72 and 3.74 remain unverified** because their firmware binaries were unavailable. See the [firmware matrix](https://github.com/devnoname120/livearea_nolimits/blob/v2.1.0/docs/firmware-compatibility.md) for exact coverage.
The plugin selects SceShell, PAF and recovery layouts independently, accounts for devkit offsets and testkit recovery flags, and validates module identities and expected instructions before patching. The actual firmware is used; HENkaku's spoofed version is ignored.
The release keeps **50 pages, 500 top-level icons and 4,000 application/content icons**, SceShell-owned icon-cache management and early hidden-application recovery. The regular `livearea_nolimits.suprx` has **runtime logging disabled**. One SUPRX is required; no kernel companion is included.
## Install or update
Download `livearea_nolimits.suprx`, replace it at your existing `*main` configuration path and fully reboot. For a new installation, follow the [README](https://github.com/devnoname120/livearea_nolimits/blob/v2.1.0/README.md#installation).
Back up your active taiHEN configuration and LiveArea database before changing builds. Keep an already-restored layout; installation does not require deleting applications or rebuilding the database.
## Downloads and diagnostics
- `livearea_nolimits.suprx`: normal release; caching enabled, logging disabled.
- `livearea_nolimits-v2.1.0-diagnostic.zip`: matching build with logging enabled and each log line synchronized to storage.
- `livearea_nolimits-v2.1.0-no-cache-diagnostic.zip`: logging enabled, cache management disabled for a requested comparison.
- `livearea_nolimits-v2.1.0-symbols.zip`: matching ELF/VELF binaries and symbol maps for all three variants.
- `build-info.json` and `SHA256SUMS`: source identity, build settings, validation coverage and checksums.
If you encounter a problem, reply to the relevant existing issue or open one with your actual firmware, device model, other plugins and steps to reproduce it. When logs are requested, follow the [diagnostic guide](https://github.com/devnoname120/livearea_nolimits/blob/v2.1.0/docs/diagnostics.md) and attach the current and previous logs before another reboot.
## Validation
The regular ELF, VELF and SUPRX are byte-identical across two independent builds. Host ASan/UBSan checks pass. The exact regular and logging-enabled builds pass compiled ARM capacity, cache and recovery tests against all 31 available firmware combinations; the no-cache diagnostic build passes capacity and recovery checks on the same matrix. Required system imports are verified in every firmware.
These are **offline firmware checks**. OS services, scheduling, asynchronous artwork decoding and UI rendering are modeled. This release has not been boot-tested on every supported hardware/firmware combination, and maximum-library stress behavior is not established by these checks.
