1.2.0.c
SwitchU 1.2.0c (tomvita's fork)
The home screen now comes up in the sort order you left it in, the quick settings drawer opens hbmenu or your user page with one more button press, and moving games is held back to My order so an automatic sort can no longer scramble your layout.
Everything from 1.2.0b is included: the name filter, the confirmation before a new game closes a running one, USB keyboard typing, the Breeze Home toggle, and game titles in Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
Fix: the home screen ignored your sort order at startup
Press R to sort by A-Z or Recent, reboot, and the hint bar remembered the setting while the icons came back in My order. The order only took hold later, the first time something rebuilt the grid.
The sort is a projection over your personal layout, and it lived only in the rebuild path — the grid the console actually boots into is composed somewhere else, and that path never looked at the setting. Both now go through the same projection, so the order you left is the order you come back to, on the first frame.
Your own arrangement is untouched, as before: A-Z and Recent only change what you see, and My order brings your layout back exactly as you built it.
hbmenu and your user page from the quick settings drawer
L opens quick settings, and two buttons in it are now shortcuts — so from the home screen they read as L+Y and L+X:
| Press | Opens |
|---|---|
| L then Y | hbmenu (the Album applet slot, the same thing the sidebar's Album button opens) |
| L then X | your user page |
Holding L and tapping the second button works, and so does pressing it once the drawer is already open. The drawer's hint bar shows both.
The close hint no longer reads as a combo
Quick settings showed B+L Close, which looked like a two-button combo. It now shows B Close. L still closes the drawer — it is the button that opened it, and it stays a toggle.
Moving games waits for My order
While A-Z or Recent is active, games, folders and widgets can't be rearranged: Y, the touch-drag and Move software in the options menu are unavailable, and the Y Move hint is not offered. A slot in an automatic view is a cell of the sorted picture, not the slot your layout would be written back to, so a move made there landed somewhere else and scrambled My order.
Press R back to My order to rearrange. This matches how a filtered screen already behaves.
Inside a folder nothing changes — folder contents are always in folder order, so moving works there whatever the home screen is sorted by.
Changes
- Settings > About shows SwitchU 1.2.0c tomvita's fork, and SwitchU-Manager's subtitle shows v1.2.0c.
Upgrade notes
- Copy both folders together. Copy
atmosphereandswitchto the root of your SD card, overwriting existing files, then reboot. The daemon and the menu must come from the same release. - Breeze: the Home toggle and the SwitchU install button need Breeze beta119.00 or later.
- Your profile takeover (
atmosphere/contents/0100000000001013) stays as it is.
Known limitations
- L+X opens the first profile on the avatar bar. With several accounts on the console, the avatar bar is still how a different one is picked.
- L+Y opens whatever lives in the Album applet slot. With the homebrew loader installed that is hbmenu; without it, the Album.
- The sort order is remembered per console, not per profile.

Changed since 1.2.0b:
switch/SwitchU/bin/menu/main SwitchU menu (sort order at startup, quick settings shortcuts)
switch/SwitchU-Manager/SwitchU-Manager.nro SwitchU-Manager (reports v1.2.0c)
The daemon (atmosphere/contents/0100000000001000/exefs.nsp) is byte-identical to 1.2.0b — copy both folders anyway, so the two always come from the same release.
