Hacking RELEASE HBL from 'user page' instead of album

[realjumy]

I found this at https://re-doing.com/archives/5816

Use at your own risk:

1. Download necessary files
2. Rename the following folders in SD card:
   atmosphere\titles\010000000000100D
   　　　　　　↓
   atmosphere\titles\0100000000001013
   
3. Rename main.npdm appropriately, move from the location (set aside without erasing)
   atmosphere / titles / 01.000000000001013 / exefs /
   
4. Place the downloaded file in atmosphere / titles / 0100000000001013 / exefs

　
With this, you can use the album and start HBL from the user page.

I actually prefer to use Album, but the more options, the better! Thanks for the findings!

Thank you, I will try that out. It would be really cool if someone made like a homebrew application that is on the nintendo switch home menu along with all of your games.

The best solution would be replacing the useless sleep mode button on the home screen.

Is it possible to just use the sleep button all the way to the right? since sleep mode can be accessed through power button as well as holding down home button on joycon to open menu where sleep mode and airplane mode is

Use the sleep button for homebrew you mean? It may be possible

Good idea but it will buried if you play some of your actual Switch games.

I honestly think setting homebrew over the news section would make more sense. Seeing that it is the most useless out of the rest.

 

[SimonMKWii]

Interesting choice, I made mine the Mii maker.

For me, the best option is still Fake News.

And, done -- once you use Puyo Puyo Tetris JP to install this on a 1.0.0 console, you'll never need to launch Puyo again to get a browser open for hax :): https://t.co/YgqfTzqdmG pic.twitter.com/Yd0EOqWQst

I can be used in any version where Pegaswitch can be launched:

Or you could make a msgpack and manually inject the news:/ save.
Dunno if that would work, but it's worth a shot I guess...

Why not making HBL into the Power Icon? It's kinda useless, we can use the power button to put the switch in sleep mode.

That's not possible at the moment, the sleep mode button doesn't launch a standalone applet, but a segment of 010000000000100C (Overlay Applet).

 

[nWo]

Thank you. It's a great alternative. I for one was hoping for something like this.

If you know every apps ID can't you set up on any application or button?

 

[SomeGamer]

You can only set it to applets AFAIK.

 

[link42586]

Needs it's own button altogether. Will that be possible in atmosphere? as it seems only apps can be switched right now. Maybe in the future?

Isn't that for activating the exploit in the first place? I am talking when the exploit and CFW are already activated.

I replaced mine with the Wifi Selection dialog, so that whenever I try to access the eShop or the Internet Settings, it launches hbmenu. I don't plan on connecting my device to the internet, so this is useful and will prevent me from doing so!

Is Parental Controls an applet?
