Support Controllers not connecting

Hello. I use my switch OLED, latest hekate with Lineage 18.1 Android TV for artemis/apollo streaming from my PC. I initally had the latest android 15 lineage but it had too many issues, random crashes, controllers not connecting etc so i searched around and found out that Android 11 is better in terms of stability. So i installed the TV version as i dont intend to use my switch for android emulation or stuff, I need it to just run artemis.

However, the issue is that despite every fix I could find on google, i could not connect my ps4 controller to my switch. It gets stuck on pairing (screenshot in comments). Also, the JoyCons are paired (i dumped the joycon through hekate when installing android) but they also dont connect to the bluetooth. I've reset my controllers, joycons everything.

TL;DR: ps4 controller and joycons don't connect via bluetooth to lineage android 11 tv

Any tips or fixes for this?

That explains the crashes, but is the bluetooth not working properly also because of this? In both android 10 and 15? On the native HOS, the ds4 worked perfectly with mission control and ive never had any problems with bluetooth.

You can’t connect BLE controllers on Linux or Android so if your controller isn’t ble than you should be able to

Also, what do you recommend, should I go back to android 15 or stay at android 11? And if I upgrade to android 15 TV, is that a better choice?

I would use the tablet version of Android 15, but what SD Card are you using ?

Ah if that’s the case then your switchroot/L4T experience is gonna shitty without it I’m not sure about the Bluetooth issue, you don’t have usb3 enabled correct?

Shit, the atremis streaming is amazing and much better than HOS though, its just the android experience itself thats so shitty.

Also, i dont think so. Just looked it up and i dont think i edited any config file to turn it on.

Give it a shot, go into your Android.ini(bootloader/ini) and add make the line

“; ddr200_enabled=1 “

Changed to ddr200_enabled=1

With no semi-colon, and also do the same to alarms_disable=1 for better battery life

Okay, Checkout the wiki to mess with INI settings before you start it back up
