When booted in hekate, Is it possible to have Switchroot Android in the "Launch" folder along with Atmosphere and stock SysNAND, instead of in "More Configs" folder?

Thank you

Sure. You can add an entry to hekate_ipl.ini with a payload=... line pointing to the Android payload, just like when booting Fusee from Hekate.
You could just copy paste the fusee.bin entry in the hekate_ipl.ini (if you have one) and change the title and payload path (and the logo, if you want)

Oof, not quite sure how to properly do that.. would you mind helping me out with that?

I do have the hekate_ipl.ini

config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=0
bootprotect=0
[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
[Stock SysNAND]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch

[Stock SysNAND]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch
Just copy the 3 lines
[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp

Change the name at the top and the payload path.

you also can change NYX options to show not only the Hekate_ipl.ini entries but all configs, and show entries for example Lakka or Android.

on SDMC:/bootloader/ini/Lakka.ini you cant put:

[Lakka]
payload=lakka/coreboot.rom
logopath=lakka/splash.bmp
id=SWR-LAK
icon=lakka/icon_lakka_hue.bmp


and create a ini file for each payload you want.

So it would be
[Switchroot Android]
Payload=bootloader/payload/ not sure what would go here
Icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload

Is there something available for me to learn more about this?

I set it to All configs and nothing changed. What was it originally set to “Main Menu” ?

Main menu, the first page of NYX shows home menu
All config show Hekate_ipl.ini entries and SDMC:/bootloader/ini/ files
Launch, the first page of NYX shows Hekate_ipl.ini entries
More Configs, the first page of NYX shows SDMC:/bootloader/ini/ files

I wish I understood this more, maybe this option isn’t for me. I thought it would be easier. I’m worried I’ll mess something up. I set it back to “Main menu”

Find your working /bootloader/ini/00-android.ini file

39D6782C-BF73-4940-AC9F-DE9A957561DF.jpeg

…and copy the contents from inside it

7516F36A-2F2A-4348-9BAB-82A2B20E9F83.jpeg

into the bottom (add…don’t replace) of your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file.

If you literally copy and paste everything it will just work.


e: To learn more check out the main page for the Hekate source code here. They go into great detail about each option.

That’s what @The Real Jdbye was suggesting. Glad it worked for you.

The thing @impeeza is talking about is extra credit and will make the Hekate menu pop up on the launch page (or all configs page) by default (without you having to click anything to get there.)

You can read the documentation about how to do that (and more) in the link I posted above.

Ah yes! I see now, that’s awesome! When I boot into hekate, it now boots right into launch folder. Thank you, to all three of you! @impeeza @binkinator @The Real Jdbye
