Okay so I just updated to the latest GEN 5.50 release on my phat 1000 PSP (with some reluctance.) I got pretty much everything working now though except for one problem. CXMB will not allow me to change themes after applying the first time. I grabbed the latest CXMB from DL.QJ.NET which was supposed to be working with 5.50 gen. After applying a CTF theme I can't change to any other theme now, not even the standard ones. It displays a message about having to overwrite the current theme and you can either choose yes or no. I choose yes and it freezes for like 20 seconds and then the PSP shuts off. I've tried many different themes and they all do the same thing. I've tried two different CXMB releases that are supposed to be for 5.50 gen:

CXMB for 5.50Gen
CXMB for 3.71-5.50

Both do the same thing. I have found that I can change themes by editing the config file and manually adding the path and filename to the theme I want to use so I know that works, it's just the act of changing themes that seems broken. Are these just bad releases, does anybody know of a version that works correctly?

I am using 5.50 GEN themes.

The two main ones I'm using are

Large Original Icons Midnight Black 5.50 GEN

and

Large Original Icons -Revived- 5.50 GEN

well, first I tried deleting the cxmb.conf file and the custom theme file on flash1. this just caused my psp to freeze up as soon as I turned it on everytime, even with the cxmb.prx plugin disabled. I had to format the entire flash1 just to get back into the xmb again. Then I tried disabling all of my other prx plugins (ultimate vsh menu, slim colors, power saver). Still does the exact same thing.

update - after testing some more turns out I somehow didn't disable all of the other plugins. I tested them one at a time and it turned out it was the slim colors prx that was causing the freezing. And after fiddling around I realized that 5.50 GEN has a slim colors option built in, worked fine without the plugin. thanks for the suggestions guys.

update2 - ultimate vsh menu prx also causes it to freeze. I have to disable it before changing themes. no wonder I was having problems, i had two seperate prx's that were causing cxmb to freeze.
