  • RSMouse support for controlling a mouse cursor with your right stick
  • Full Joy-Con and Pro Controller support with analog sticks and rails.
  • Hori Joy-Con support.
  • Uses Joy-Con HOS Bluetooth paring data.
  • Both Android TV and Android Tablet builds.
  • Reworked fan profiles for quieter operation.
  • Optimized dock support with resolution scaling.
  • OTG support including DisplayPort or HDMI output (no power supply necessary).
  • 3rd party dock/hub support including DisplayPort or HDMI output.
  • Rewritten charging driver to properly support USB-PD.
  • Optimized touch screen driver.
  • Easier install via hekate partition tool.
  • Reworked, simpler, power profiles.
  • Much improved WiFi driver with less dropouts.
  • Shield TV remote app support for easy docked control.
  • Reboot to payload support.
  • Improved Bluetooth accessory support.
  • Auto rotation support.

You guys have made my Switch a ton more useful, thanks for all the work you guys put in! ★＼(^▽^ )♪
Android 10 and Deep Sleep are great to have! Haven't tested the build yet since I won't be free until tomorrow but I'm looking forward to it!

Edit: Forgot to edit it, just chiming in to say that I've been loving it! Thank you so much devs!

Hello! I'm trying to install it but I'm stuck on google voice assistant.
If I tap on "No thanks" it brings me a page back everytime.

I can't get my switch to boot into twrp. I used balina to put previous version in but would rather use twrp for familiarities. Is there a guide to installing twrp?

Hi there. I'm glad to see it is official now. Can I do a dirty flash via twrp? I have a SD card setup from an unofficial selfmade build from October. Thank you.

Dirty flash wont work, you need to wipe and repartition in hekate

I did. I unzipped hikati and rom. Just moved everything else. Sd card is class 1 64 gb formatted into fat 32 followed instructions within hikati. First time I tried it said flash successful but wouldn't boot into twrp. Now it just says flashable files not found. Imma start over from scratch see if I can get it. Must be something I missed. I'll see.

I'm simply amazed. Thank u so much for all the months of hard work @ANyOne involved!

I've got two questions:
1. If I go for the non-Android TV image, can I control the Switch in the dock with the Joy-Cons wirelessly?
2. If going for the Android TV image, would it support the Google Cast protocoll receiver-sided (meaning I could cast to it)?

Edit: Please let me add a third question:
3. Can Android access the FAT32 partition I'm using in Horizon?
Aka can I continue my SNES savegames in Android's RetroArch by pointing it's directory settings to the same folder on the FAT32 partition I'm using in Horizon's RetroArch for the savegames?

    Hi... I've just installed the AndroidTV version on my switch. I can't seem to play any movies on Netflix. I got a pop-up message "This title is not available to watch instantly". Error code : tvq-pb-101 (1.10.0). I have managed to root my device and deleted the liboemcrypto.so from /system/vendor/lib folder but no luck...

    Couls anyone help me to get Netflix working on my switch?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    so witht the HD part of netflix and works for youtube as well installed and gave root permission to https://github.com/Paget96/LSpeed/releases L speed then once you go through the tutorial go to the misc tab and enable higher resolutions for youtube. For some reason it allows you to also select the highest quality in netflix as well

    EDIT:

    I also grabbed a dmesg which I have uploaded to my server since it's too large to attach here

    Grepping for "wifi"/"wlan" yields a whole lot of errors, for example:
    service "vendor.wifiloader" exited with status 255

    Naturally, wifi works just fine in Horizon, just in case you suspect faulty hardware

    Today my Lp0 didn't work. I use CPU spy to observe this. This happened after a reboot.

    My switch stayed on with 100mhz all the time but screen was off.

    I turned wifi and bt on and off. This helped. Afterwards my switch went into deep sleep again and stayed there as long as the screen was off.

    Maybe this helps.

    yes I did. To me a while to work out but you have to:

    1. Mans sure you have flashed magisk
    2. In the manager install busybox and magiskhidepropsconf
    3. Reboot
    4. Install termux from the App Store
    5. Open termux and type ‘su props’
    6. Option 1 then follow the instructions to change the fingerprint to nvidia shield tv pro 2019
    7. Reboot and it all works
