A custom fork of Vita Volume that adds multilingual support, new system commands, improved UI with proper title display and settings via a configuration file.

User guide

Set the value you want, 0 being the lowest and 30 the maximum (25 for AVLS forced Vitas) and then press Cross to reboot.

You can also disable AVLS for a short while, it's basically a shortcut to the option you have in the settings app.

Changelog

New Features & Enhancements:
- Proper Title Display:

- Saved settings include:
  - Selected menu item
  - Preferred language
  - Custom key mappings for Up, Down, and Enter (currently hardcoded but saved for future use)
- Volume Feedback:
  - Shows the current volume level (0–30) with a symbol:
  - 🔇 (Muted), 🔉 (Low), 🔊 (High)
