- Shield TV remote app support for easy control.
- Easier installation with the Hekate partition tool.
- Simpler power profiles.
Two builds are released for the Nintendo Switch: one based on tablet mode so that the console can be used without the dock. The second compilation is based on Android TV and is designed to use the console in the dock, because we will have Android TV on our television and be able to run the games in this way.
Both builds are also compatible with Google applications, which must be installed in a separate pack. So each user can install whatever they want in the well-known console. The two ROMs can be downloaded from XDA Developers. They are unofficial builds, so anything you install is at your own risk.
