This might be a stupid question, but is the current version set to a 720p internal resolution? I read about all the stuff with it being set at 1080p internally for the dock, causing worse performance in handheld. So I installed everything, flash Magisk, then went to use Easy DPI Changer to set the dpi to 720p, and it was already 720p? Is the most recent version 720p internally? Thanks.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] dihnekis:
I'm getting the same error. I even downgraded my nvidia games to the old one, still not working.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Count_NOOBula:
To my knowledge, the original builds posted on day one of Oreo's release have never been updated. To confirm your current resolution really is 720p, google 'what's my resolution" and see what res a random benchmark site detects, in case the app is acting up.

I installed my build a few days after release & it was 1080p by default (tiny text and icons with large navigation buttons at the bottom). Had to use the same app you used to change it to 720p.

Unless someone else wants to chime in, I don't think the original images have been updated in anyway since release.

Also: there's no such thing as a stupid question :)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] dihnekis:
Well it must be fixed to 720p now, because when I go to whatismyresolution.com it shows 1055x566 or something, and when I go into Easy DPI Changer it is detecting my resolution as 1280x720, and not letting me change my resolution to that (because it is saying it already is that). Also, Geforce Now detected the resolution at 1280x720 for Tomb Raider (which works ****ing great btw). I haven't changed anything, and yeah you're right the only image seems to be the original one from a year ago, so I don't know what the deal is. Why is my android switch 720p but everyone else had 1080p internal resolution?

[BUG and QUESTIONS] Apps that use microphones get stuck

I know some bugs may have already been reported but not included in the main post.

1) If I connect bluetooth headphones with microphone and earphones with microphone in the jack, however, apps like telegram crash or freeze.

2) The screen recording app does not record and the video is seen as corrupt.

3) The rotation is activated at random for some apps and you cannot restore the horizontal layout (luckily nova launcher allows you to force it for the home screen).

4) Kodi for android does not see the window size touchscreen. If you press in the center it is as if you pressed in the lower right corner (it is an example)

5) The brightness does not change.

6) Network meters (those you enable from the notification bar menu) do not show speeds.

The questions are as follows:

How about the L4T - ubuntu version some of these features go? The brightness, the rotation and it seems to me that it allows deep states (besides OC at 2ghz).

In the future it will be possible to use / update to L.OS16 17 or it is impossible without making too many turns.

I did a lot of testing with ubuntu and android. For the moment (if it weren't for Plex not transcoding client-side ASS ?) the Android Build is definitely superior. First of all ... The touchscreen is perfectly managed (the bug that takes random touches hasn't happened to me for now ...) and the operating system hardly ever lags (sometimes it's freezing but I step on it, it is still an OS on SD).

screen problem when docked

Hi everyone,

does it have any improvements / solutions for screen problem when the switch is docked ?

When I dock mine, it has a resolution problem and some "artefacts" on the right of the TV screen. Besides, the screen of the switch won't turn off but after 15 seconds the switch and the display on the TV will both turn off.

I did a lot of research on the forum but couldn't find any workaround.

I would like to use my switch as a media center (netflix and other). Maybe I should install ubuntu L4T instead ?

[edit] Ubuntu L4T doesn't work either. I can't run netflix on firefox or chromium or can't install google chrome. Kodi doesn't work either. Damn arm64...

Thanks !

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it working again after the most recent Switch FW updates? It worked great around 10.1.0, but won't actually boot after SD setup.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Switch firmware doesn't affect sd boot at all.

You're probably trying to boot old sd boot files with new hekate payload.

You either have to inject an older payload or update the hekate related files on sd card to get it to boot

No problem.

You copy the zip file to your SD card and Install it whit Twrp.

It's the same as with opengapps or the joyconfix.

You can easy put the Hekate 5.3.3 Payload renamed as update.bin inside the bootloader folder or flash the new reboot to Payload.

I've got some issues, not booting

Hi Everyone, great project.

Unfortunely I can make it work in my switch. (I can run hekate 5.3.3 and Atmosphere from the sd card and I can use all that I'm supposed to do there (games, emulators, etc) As far as I can tell until now..so the switch is those ones compatible).

Back to LineageOS - I must be missing something a step or understand what is need to be done.

- I used the BalenaEtcher and made an microSDcard with the right size file - it recreated the partition. Strangely almost 3MB were used, I thought it should be more. either way, since I'm using windows10 a partition is mounted I created a folder "Stuff" and put the gaps, Shield-ifier and the joyconfix. other partition asks me to format, I did't format, didn't touched it.

-Without doing anything else I inserted into the switch and started the switch in service mode, injecting the (same as I use for atmosphere) hekate payload.. and after that it stays black(no hekate dashboard.. nothing). It's like it's not picking up anything worth executing.

What am I missing? now booting with hekate 5.0.2

I appreciate any answers, l thank you.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Jimh54:
This might be the wrong topic for this thread but i can't find anything to answer an issue. I bought a used switch that would boot into the Lineage OS package but not into the OFW. I could not get it to even do boot into Lineage so i installed a trinket m0 and got good results. However, After installing Fusee-gelee to the SD i tried to boot Horizon. Atmosphere started to boot and got to the triangle screen then threw an error that said "mxboot is corrupt. Press the power button to reboot." I did and got the same thing. I have tried all over the forums here and Google to find anything about that error to no avail. Can anyone point me to just what this error means? I suspect it has something to do with the problem with Horizon but I don't know enough about how Horizon boot sequence works to be comfortable. Any possible solutions are indeed welcome. Thanks

Hello,

Very good instructions. I read through them all and haven't done anything as of yet. Wanted to get a feel for them. I have some questions:

I'm assuming in step 6-7, I can simply use my RCMLoader dongle to start hekate and continue from there. Is that correct? Or should I simply follows these instructions to the letter and worry about RCM booting later?

In the homebrew instructions there are steps to create a emuNAND/sysNAND hybrid on the SD card, is that something I can/should do? Or is there no worry about booting back to the SwitchOS after this, since the 'other' partition is Android and not SwitchOS?

Really appreciate all you've done. Thank you

Use of Handheld Joy Cons without Bluetooth

Hi folks,

I just hard-modded a “Split Pad Pro” with a 7-10 pin bridge via 10k Resistor. What I failed to remember before I purchased this controller is that (1) the JoyCons are entirely dependent on Bluetooth for data transmission and that (2) this controller set is not designed with a bluetooth radio.

What progress, if any, is there towards native handheld joycon support?

Why should the R2p change the synand? If you click on reboot under Android, the payload is copied to the ram, the switch is set to Rcm mode and the payload is started from the RAM.
