Editing Template.xml

template.xml files are stored in '''sce_sys/livearea/content''' and are responsible for the livearea's design and functions of a Game/Application. Once a new app has been installed and the bubble is launched for the first time, the xml's content will be partially written in the '''ur0:shell/db/app.db''' ''(tbl_livearea & tbl_livearea_frame)''


==Sample of a basic xml structure==

<pre><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<livearea style="a1" format-ver="01.00" content-rev="1">
 
  <livearea-background>
    <image>bg0.png</image>
  </livearea-background>
 
  <gate>
    <startup-image>startup.png</startup-image>
  </gate>

  <frame id="frame3">
    <liveitem>
      <text><str>Hello World!</str></text>
    </liveitem>
  </frame>
 
</livearea></pre>

Inside the '''<livearea>'''-tag the basic layout will be declared along with some internal version information of the xml. In the '''<image>-tag''' inside the '''<livearea-background>'''-tag the background picture will be declared ''(by default this will be bg0.png and located next to the template.xml itself)'' Analog to this the '''<startup-image>'''-tag inside the '''<gate>'''-tag declares the startup icon. ''(startup.png by default)'' And lastly the string "Hello World!" will be displayed at the position of frame3 depending on the livearea style.

</livearea-background></pre>

===<gate>===
<pre><gate>
  <startup-image>startup.png</startup-image>
</gate></pre>

===<frame>===
Depending on the layout style, there will be different numbers of frames available. The positions itself are fix but you can position your liveitems inside them freely.
<pre><frame id="frame3" multi="o" autoflip="0" rev="1"></pre>

===<liveitem>===
Liveitems are the actual displayed 'widgets' inside a frame. There can be different versions for different xxx. For example:
<pre><liveitem default="on"></pre>
<pre><liveitem from="2016-07-25T07:00:00.00Z" until="9999-07-25T17:00:00.00Z"></pre>

===<text>===
Example for styling options:
<pre><text align="outside-right" ellipsis="off" line-align="left" line-break="on" line-space="3" margin-left="39" margin-top="18" origin="image" pre-br="on"  text-valign="center" valign="bottom" word-scroll="off" word-wrap="on" x="17" ></pre>

===<str>===
Example for styling options:
<pre><str bold="on" color="#ffffff" emboss="off" oblique="off" shadow="off" size="22.000000" underline="off">Lorem Ipsum</str></pre>

===<image>===
Example for styling options:
<pre><image align="center" origin="frame" valign="top" width="99" height="99" x="-209">x.png</image></pre>

===<background>===
<pre><background align="center" valign="center" >x.png</background></pre>

===<target>===
Creates a link that can be selected and touched. Can open a website or execute an uri call.
Examples:
<pre><target>http://xyz.com</target></pre>
<pre><target>camera:</target></pre> 
<pre><target>psns:browse?product=EP4293-PCSB00956_00-GALGUNWAPP000000</target></pre> 


===<lang>===
Example: The liveitem containing this tag will only become active if the Vita's language setting is set to Japanese.
<pre><lang>ja</lang></pre>
'''Language Codes:''' ja, en, fr, es, de, it, nl, pt, ru, ko, ch, zh, fi, sv, da, no, pl, en-gb, pt-br, tr

===<exclude-lang>===
The liveitem will become active if the Vita's language setting doesn't match the language code(s). ''(Multiple declarations possible!)''
<pre><exclude-lang>en-gb</exclude-lang>
<exclude-lang>fr</exclude-lang>
<exclude-lang>es</exclude-lang>

You can always dump the un-encrypted template.xml of any System application from '''vs0:app/NPXS1????/sce_sys/livearea/contents/''' or any installed game/app from '''ur0:appmeta/TitleID/livearea/contents/'''.
