We all have the same Switch and OS. If I can do something, others should be able to as well. Manually rebooting to hekate is annoying AF, esp when you just wanna flash a zip straight from android or make/restore a backup or even move a file from the 2GB FAT32 partition to the android OS partition using TWRP's file manager or vice versa. I just thought this would save time for many.

That said I'm happy to remove that tip from the list if others are having issues or are confused. On that note, the moderators or switchroot devs can feel free to delete my entire post if it's distracting from the main purpose of this thread. My apologies. I was just trying to help others new to the platform.

Also, English isn't my first language so please excuse any missteps in my attempts at using directive speech.

I used an online calculator to calculate the dpi based on resolution and screen size... but I don’t use that number anymore (messed up icon spacing), I use the advanced display settings to set density now.

I have a feeling applications will feel a huge boost from the GPU since it doesn't have to render all those extra pixels. I use this "vertical mode" to save battery life; even though the switch doesn't have an OLED panel, this helps.

I've switched over to gesture control completely by making the UI go full screen (settings > search Expanded Desktop) and using a free xposd module called "Xposd Edge". Root apps on play store can do something similar. Tapping and holding the edge of the screen to bring up recent apps; sliding left fromm the screen edge to go home; opening Dolphin or Spotify by simply pairing my controller or plugging in headphones -- with android, the navigation possibilities are endless thanks to the diligent team at Switchroot.

Sorry guys...when I said it works great, it does on my Galaxy Note 3 but NOT on the Switch.

axis 0x15 RTRIGGER flat 2048

Thanks to decoy8 for letting me know about this fix.

For people who need this, I have uploaded a fix for the JoyCons to make the L2 and R2 buttons work in Half-Life 2 and other games with issues, as well as fixing L3 and R3.

If you don't want to download a file from some random on the internet, you can edit the files yourself. Edit both controller profile files to look like this:

Quote:

key 304 BUTTON_A
key 305 BUTTON_B
key 308 BUTTON_Y
key 307 BUTTON_X
key 315 BUTTON_START
key 314 BUTTON_SELECT
key 310 BUTTON_L1
key 311 BUTTON_R1
key 318 BUTTON_THUMBR
key 312 BUTTON_L2
key 313 BUTTON_R2
key 317 BUTTON_THUMBL
key 316 HOME
key 306 BACK

axis 0x00 X
axis 0x01 Y
axis 0x02 Z
axis 0x05 RZ

axis 0x10 HAT_X
axis 0x11 HAT_Y
axis 0x14 LTRIGGER flat 2048
axis 0x15 RTRIGGER flat 2048

Quick Question:

If we used a Performance Profile for an hour or two while charging, would it still damage battery due to the negative overheating effects of over clocking?

Anyone have any "safe profile usage durations" recommendations, i.e, "you can safely use profile X for time period Y"?

Thanks in advance.

Simplest solution: download a free app that let's you manually your desired device resolution to 720. The resolution WILL remain 720p after reboots.

I sideloaded this free app: Easy DPI Changer.

In the "Resolution Changer" section, type in 1280 in "width" and 720 in "height". Lemme know if you need help. Since the orientation is stuck at landscape in this build, you may have to put 720 in "width" and 1080 in "height" otherwise you' may run into a small reversible issue: black borders on both sides. I'm at medschool so I don't have my switch with me and don't remember which box I put which number in but don't worry, this method is 100% safe and reversible.

I went a little extreme before you replied. I edited the init files in the boot image to set 720p (I found two places where the devs set 1080p). I then recreated the boot image and reflashed that partition in twrp. Works great, boots 720p and stays there.

I´ve used the max. performance profile in settings and ran 3dmark.
The fan started to go crazy but the switch was cool after the benchmark.
The temps of the cpu cores went up to 40 degrees which is nothing compared to an android phone and keep in mind we´re talking about the temperature inside the chip itself, not what you will expect on the heatsink, the battery or anything else.
And even while charging, it doesn´t heat up enough to damage anything.
Also the CPU doesn´t throttle like most android devices would do - perfect android gaming device!
