Worked perfect thank you! What I did to counter the image quality is resized all my images previously in photoshop and saved them maximum quality then just converted to DDS.

Nice tutorial,
but it seems you should credit Extreme from some now defunct site, after having a look in the online.json
 
I just have one question about the online.json file. Is there anything that needs to be changed besides the online ID? Should I remove items like the avatar URL? Do any other changes need to be made within that file?

Thanks for your help :).

no other changes needed
 
Thanking you heaps was trying to follow some vids on youtube about this but couldnt make out what was going on.
 
I have a doubt . I have 2 ps4 in 5.05, 1 with active psn account and the other does not.
If I make a copy of the active account by ftp, and transfer it to the other ps4 via ftp,
Could it work when restarting ps4? would it detect the active account, enabling usb and other options?
sorry for my English
 
Works just as well for activated accounts! Though you have to make sure to delete the "picture" files in the folder for an activated profile. Also editing the first and last name unless you just want it to say "custom PS4 user avatar" or whatever it says originally.
