Gonna address the recent questions without doing massive quotes here:

Foster vs. Darcy: I'm not 100% sure but the differences aren't that huge in the areas we need to care about.

Minecraft: Haven't tested it myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work. As others pointed out, controller support is not great tho. Joycons work nicely in general tho, so this is up to the apps to support controllers well.

Kodi: I personally have never used it, so I can't really compare anyway, sorry.

3rd party docks: Some work some don't. YMMV. The whole usb-c muxing stuff is a huge mess in the kernel anyway imho so there is probably room for improvement.

TWRP: Works as far as I've used it. So flashing zips :D If correctly prepared you could also flash other roms through it, but there are some specialties you need to keep in mind like how the boot image is set up. Details will follow so others can build roms too.

Root: Current builds are not rooted, but adding that wouldn't be hard. Magisk can be installed, i haven't fully tested it.

Touch: works flawlessly in the latest build.

PS4 Remote Play: Depends on how well the app supports controllers. The joycons are mapped to mostly the same keys as the Shield controller.

And a general update: Today we got lp0fw executing. This means we can wake up the console from deep sleep which is a big step forward. It currently gets stuck as soon as it turns on the main CPU tho which needs to be investigated next.

It is dual-boot ? i mean can we switch to the nintendo switch OS and still play and buy our nintendo switch game ?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] unnamed124:
With a ton of hassle I managed to get Java version running in L4T too but it doesn't run that well for me (30-40fps) and forget about shaders with those it runs around 9-10fps I have no clue how he got mods and shaders to work with playable framerates.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Mario119:
Yes, you should be able to dual boot. From what I understand Android and all of it's subsystem lives on your SD Card, so that means it won't touch your SysNAND (what the Switch OS lives on). You will be able to chose to whether boot into Android or Horizon (A.K.A. Switch OS) when you run Hekate.

the exec 1 error is related to wrong architecture of LWJGL which miinecraft offical launcher brings,so just use native mothod

to load correct liblwjgl.so and libopenal.so then minecraft should work properly.

First you will need a .jar style minecraft launcher,run it with openjdk-8-jre (oracle hotspot jdk doesn't work since it is "headless" only)

The you need to compile lwjgl2 by yourself(or just download lwjgl3 linux-arm64 on LWJGL offical website)

Find those natives(liblwjgl.so and libopenal*.so)you compiled or downloaded

then use the NativeMethod to run Minrcraft which was posted

https://rogerallen.github.io/jetson/2014/07/31/minecraft-on-jetson-tk1/

It should work.

For control I highly recommand you to use bluetooth keboard and mouse since joycon won't work with Minecraft nor with JoyPadMod.

If you insist using joycon, you have to compile QjoyPad4 by yourself.

Did you run sudo jetson_clock ？ It will boost performance in anycase,btw installing OptiFine also helps performance

I have a suggestion for the joycon

mayne you can port the Joycon Enabler from the Playstore. It lets you use both the joycon controller as one whole controller like how it was supposed to be on the Nintendo Switch but it's a paid app. I've tried it before and it works. maybe someone can port it for free

Wow

Wow very exciting announcement

Any idea when a release/how to will be posted?

Does it possible to connect mouse and keyboard from Bluetooth? Whiteout d'ongle

Does it possible to use dock to charging and hdmi at the same time?

It's for dofus touch, a French mmorpg

Having the nvidia shield tablet cpu for this game is very perfect...

Sorry for my english and if a answer will be already up for my ask

Thank you guy
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Mario119:
I'm not a dev of this project myself, but I'll do my best to try and answer your questions ;)

The developers are currently still ironing out bugs, so a release date has not been announced yet. From all of the progress they have done thus far, I'd guesstimate there will be a release sooner than later (but don't quote me on that)

This appears to be the case, they said Bluetooth is indeed fully working.

There is support for HDMI output while in the dock, and I imagine charging whilst docked will be possible.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
The answers in the previous post are correct ;)

Re rotation: Supposedly there is a gyro/accelerometer in the Switch tablet itself, we just didn't find out yet how to talk to it :D Apart from that you can use any of the rotation controller apps on the Play Store to switch (heh get it...) between portrait and landscape.

Re deep sleep: I got coreboot's lp0fw executing yesterday and even all the way to the end. Thing is that the main CPU still refuses to execute anything so far. I have a suspicion what might cause this tho so we'll see.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] trohn_javolta:

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] baileyjr:

Boot to hekate?!?!??

That's awesome! Even without pegascape one could switch between android and cfw!

Also will it have USB-file transfer, as in through cable like NXMTP does?

One more question, is the on-screen keybaord controllable by joycons, like on PS or XBOX, because on Ubuntu it, Onboard, isn't, it's a small feature but one that would be greatly appreciated!

BTW, I don't want to be that snob that asks for an ETA but Bylaws recently commented on Reddit that android was basically finished. Only sleep mode and the installer were left.

If so, can we expect a release in this month or the next? (sorry!) :fingers-crossed:
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
USB mode could in theory work, I'm not actually sure if anyone has configured it yet. Good point. Currently it's being used as a console port.

If you can control the keyboard by joycons depends on the keyboard app you install.

BTW, no ETAs ;)

I wonder if we could get something close to the game mapper on the Nvidia shield portable where controls are mapped per game to a area of the screen
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Jz5678910:
Since this is based on lineage, how does the switch handle the reboot to recovery option ? Will it just kick you back to rcm like Linux ?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
There is a plan to implement "reboot to payload" like can be done from HOS. With that we should be able to reboot to any hekate config.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] AceS00:
What is hekate?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hooligan333:
It is a bootloader for the Switch. Not unlike GRUB
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] natedogg20050:
Just a matter of time
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] JoshuaDoes:
Given that AOSP itself is required to be open-source alongside the redistribution of compiled code made from the source, how much of the non-AOSP/non-Lineage stuff will be open-sourced? And if at all possible, will the entirety of everything required to boot into (what I've dubbed) Lineage-NX be open-source as well?

Asking as a ROM developer who'd love to target the Nintendo Switch as soon as possible, including bringing it up to speed with AOSP 9 bases :P
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hamdan198:
What is AltOs? It saw it on one of Switchroot's twitter posts and was just curious as to what it was? (I feel so dumb)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
Everything will be open source. For Pie builds you gotta wait anyway for Nvidia to release a working graphics stack cause the current one is broken on Pie. Otherwise we would have already based our builds on Lineage 16 :P

AltOS will be a combination of a homebrew app and a payload to install Android and e.g. Ubuntu to your SD card from within HOS.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] thequickfox123:
Will it be a default way to install first official release of Android? Or are you just creating Android "installer" for PC for now and you'll be working on AltOS later?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hamdan198:
I hope so, as I know you guys know best but personally I would prioritize releasing Android before AltOs! :)

Also, [MENTION=576676]langer hans[/MENTION] have you got sleep working yet?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] trohn_javolta:
That's nice. But will it be possible with AltOS to install Android on the same sd card, alongside other nintendo and cfw files without the need to format the whole sd card?

That would be really awesome.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hamdan198:
Think. CFW is run of sd card, homebrew is, hence, run of sd card. If AltOs was to format the sd card then it couldn't do the entire process because the switch would crash so that means that dual-booting is obviously an option
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
The way AltOS will work is that the homebrew will allow you to select all the options and then it will reboot into a linux payload that does all the required changes. This circumvents the issue you outlined. I feel like the first version might do a destructive partitioning and then later versions might allow for a non-destructive one. But there is a lot of stuff to take care of, especially now that emummc is also a thing.

This hasn't really been decided yet, but I feel like we'll release Android before AltOS as that will need some more work still.

Even then you could copy your HOS data off the card first, install Android, then copy it back.

Re deep sleep: No luck yet with getting the CCPLEX to execute anything. I'll try some more debugging in the coming days, but given there isn't much output from the console in this state it's not very easy to debug and very time consuming as you have to run through the whole boot process all the time :(
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] baileyjr:
That's useful to know :good:

Will the Android Partition be able to read files in the HOS FAT32 Partition? I'm assuming so
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
Yeah that should be possible. Works in Windows for me. We just need to actually mount it tho.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Vartom:
Can you show a log with the moment of hangup at the moment of getting out of sleep? It is possible in the PM. I have been banging a similar problem when porting the kernel to the Nexus 9.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
There is no log. Nothing is running at this point. The BPMP runs the lp0exit firmware, sets up the CCPLEX, takes it out of reset and halts itself. But the CCPLEX either does not execute anything at all or it aborts too early for me to notice. That's also what makes debugging this very hard cause we also obviously have no JTAG access on the switch to check if the CCPLEX even executes _anything_.

(Don't get your hopes up too quickly. There is a bunch of stuff to do to get this into a fully usable state. But entering and exiting lp0 is a major step into a fully working deep sleep mode for Android (and Linux).
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] singing-potato123:
I know shutdown probably works but does restart work, like in atmosphere. So maybe reboot-to-payload? I mean hekate works but would that be it or would an automatic option be provided as well?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
Reboot to playload is on the todo list, but likely for a later release.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] rinzheim132:
great news! glad to see you guys are taking steps for a proper sleep mode

i use ubuntu a lot, but most of the times I end up going back to hos for the lack of a "proper" sleep mode

I have the feeling that once android is released im gonna stay there way more time than in HOS
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hamdan198:
Aghghghghghghghhgh,

The suspense is slowly killing me! But anyway well done on (nearly) getting sleep mode to work! :)

Can's wait to try this out in the school holidays coming up for me!
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Mario119:
I wonder how battery life will end up being? With just general use I'd imagine it'd be pretty decent (given the Switch's 4310MAh battery paired with it's 720p screen). The Switch could end up being a pretty viable Android mini-tablet actually, perhaps it may even overtake my beloved Nexus 7 2013 for my favorite tablet that I own. And it can play full fledged console games on top of that, which is freaking great. What can't this thing do?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
For best battery life there needs to be some more work to be done. For example the RAM currently always runs at full speeds. While that's not a huge power draw there are some small thing here and there that sum up quickly.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Mario119:
Glad to see you guys are taking your time to put some fit and finish on this project even before the first release, I'll be eager to test this when it releases ;)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] langer hans:
Speaking of fit and finish. Today I cleaned up my work on the deep sleep stuff and pushed it to our git repos. We can now wake up the console with the power button too. Now what needs to be figured out is proper memory clock scaling cause you can't enter sleep with memory above 800 MHz.

I won't be near my PC next week tho (Mon-Thu), but iirc ByLaws will be back and can surely pick up where I left off on this (or work on other important stuff, I don't know his plans :D ).
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] bylaws:
Yup, I'll try and get emc scaling to work (maybe integrate Minerva into kernel so no need for mtc blob) and that will mean sleep can work without needing to damage performance.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hamdan198:
Personally I think installing android to switch nand would be very practical, if possible

Because if one gets banned than that 32 gb nand is just sitting there not being used as most people go the CFW route from there on

Maybe if you guys gave the option to install android into that space and if you want to boot into HOS you can just use emuMMC.

Heck, even if you aren't banned, atmosphere's emuMMC promises to be just as clean as OFW so you can go online there while having android, or ubuntu, installed on nand

This would allow android to utilize the faster storage drive and allow sd cards to be used as external storage

If rebooting to hekate on andorid becomes possible than switching between android and OFW wouldn't need a computer as both 'firmware' allow for rebooting to RCM, or hekate.

I don't know how fusee checks would work, though
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] bylaws:
That's actually a really interesting idea, probably best to wait for emummc to mature before though. (So you don't end up having corruption and loosing your data
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hamdan198:
So, a possibility? :)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] AaronVey22:
eta for eta when kind sir
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Mario119:
As a general rule of thumb, asking for ETAs on this site tends to be frowned down upon. The reason for this is because most of the time the devs themselves don't even know when their next release will be. Asking for an ETA will really get you nowhere, nor will it make the devs work faster.
