Homebrew RELEASE EasyPower - quick utility to reboot the Switch

[klock]

This is a very simple and quick utility that will reboot the Switch on being launched - thanks to XorTroll for wrapping the bpc service and making this possible!

Simply load the .nro through the hbmenu (or load it through your profile icon/other for a "quick reboot" button) and the console will immediately reboot.

An installable version created with The-4n's hacBrewPack is also available, with the titleID 0104561737950000.

Nice. Would making a version that reboots it in RCM work?

I believe that's more in the wheelhouse of Deja Vu - this is just using normal Switch system calls to reboot.

Reboot into RCM via homebrew can only work on 1.0.0. Version 2.0 blocked that capability.

and for turn off?

 

[klock]

Well, that's the trick - the two currently wrapped services are reboot and shutdown, and shutdown will reboot back into 'charging mode' - if you have autoRCM enabled, this means booting back into RCM, just in a much slower manner. If I can figure out a hard poweroff, I'll be sure to implement configuration to swap between them.

Thanks for this, it would be amazing if I could switch freely between RCM mode and non-RCM mode

So this allows to reboot from horizon to horizon ? Even with AutoRCM ?
Does it then boot the same payload/kips than originally injected ?

I've been waiting for this nice utility.
There is no reason why we shouldn't reboot or shutdown the Switch from the joycons.
Thanks a lot. I'll be waiting for the hard shutdown implementation from hekate.

I don't get it. With this you can while in CFW reboot and appear in CFW again?

I believe this to be the normal reboot function of Horizon which we can now trigger without hard pressing on the power button.

Exactly this.

 

[Reploid]

Exactly this.

why tho?

 

[klock]

It was written for somebody with a malfunctioning power button, and I figured I'd provide it for anyone else that may find some use for it.

I tested it a couplpe of time and i think it is a hard reset, not the soft one. It is like when you keep pressing the power button for 12s and you hear a quick sound that pop off. i m looking for a similar homebrew but right now, i ll just wait for a "softer" reboot or poweroff homebrew. Like the one in 3DS called : 3DS quick shutdown or 3DS quick restart. Despite this, thank you Klock for your hard work man, much appreciated

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[moustalgie]

yeah i saw that before trying but try it yourself and you ll understand what i m trying to say

 

[klock]

Yeah, I really didn't do anything here - XorTroll did the heavy lifting!

An installable nsp created with hacBrewPack has been added to the release page, along with program icons for both versions.
