Change the order of GUI icons under 5.0

Legacy 2nd gen Apple TV
1

Hi,

I´m shure it´s possible, but I´ve no idea how it could work :slight_smile:

I´ve read here that you can change the order of the icons of the new 5.0 GUI.

 

/var/stash/Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances

then go to Internet.frappliance and edit info.plist

You can change the display name of the item and there’ll also be a field called PreferredOrder or something like that, set to something like 2.00000000000

Change this to 1.000000000 for first, or 9.000000000 for last, etc.

You have to do this for each menu item.

 

But there is now Internet.frappliance in my 5.0 installation. Any ideas? Whre can i change the order?

 

Thanks for the great work FC Team anyway :slight_smile:

Hi Glahn,

I don’t know why you should want to change the order of the icons, but it is possible in iOS5

The old UI, items can be removed like mentioned here : http://imho.nu/iMHo/dev-teams/xbmc/mlb-remove/

In the new UI you can remove items by renaming the Internet.appliance into Internet.appliance.plist (make a copy first)

The Internet.appliance can be found in Applications/AppleTV.app

 

In case you just want the change the order of the Computers icon, do like so:

rename the Computers.appliance.plist (make a copy first)

rename the string number to 1 like below

    <key>FRAppliancePreferedOrderValue</key>
    <string>1</string>

Save it, and reboot the AppleTV : Killall -9 AppleTV
