Hope you know how to write this image file to the appropriate partition. I'm cautious about giving instructions. If I have the time, I might create a twrp flashable zip.

Hello devs. I'm hoping that you can implement f2fs support with your next release. Back in the day I used an Asus Transformer Prime and it had crazy slow internal memory.

By default, it used ext4. Formatting ext2 was faster but could suffer from data corruption. Formatting f2fs achieved the speed and stability that actually made that tablet usable. Huge difference actually. I'm hoping that f2fs could take this switch rom's performance from good to amazing. :good:

How to change it back to normal you have a img file to flash it back to normal
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] digable:
You can get the original boot.img from the full image you downloaded (32, 64, or 128GB). If you open up the full image using 7zip on windows, you can get access to the original boot.img.

I created the boot720p.img file because I wanted to permanently boot my switch into 720p. If I wanted to temporarily change back to 1080p, I would use the terminal command wm I described a few pages back.

I hope we keep the LineageOS flavour.

I wouldn't call it a spinoff since unoffical builds like this are very common for devices that aren't supported officially.

There are many reasons why a device won't get offical support.

If this rom get's 100% fixed and the devs decide to maintain the switch, a offical release of LineageOS would be possible.

Dolphin Emulator Help?!

New here in all aspects. Can anyone help me with the joysticks not working in the dolphin emulator? sorry if this is the wrong thread
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] nex86:
well first, homebrew on the switch is not 100% legal, its still against Nintendo's TOS to run inofficial code on the switch. Even though you're technically not altering their software, you're still exploiting the hardware.

I'm not sure if the lineageOS team would risk it to add the Switch to the list as an official device.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Make a backup of boot in twrp before flashing a new boot img.

Simply tap on backup and untick all except boot unless you want a full backup.

By the way i recommend doing a backup of system because if you break anything you don't have to flash the whole sd card because we have no zip to restore system but a backup will help.

/data can be formated to reset the rom.

So tick boot and system to be safe.

---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

Homebrew is illegal if it's used to hack something.

Cheats and stuff is illegal.

But in case of android you don't touch Horizon OS, you don't touch the built in eMMC, you don't "hack" the switch's OS to run unsigned code or run cheats and mods in games, you're not able to dump games for piracy nor you're able to run illegal game dumps.

YOU owned the switch and it's yours and as long as you don't hack nintendo stuff there is nothing nintendo can do because the physical unit is yours.

(Nintendo-) software things are something different.

I also wouldn't call android "homebrew" because it isn't based on the switch OS, doesn't run unsigned code on it's OS and don't hack nintendo games.

It is a custom rom and the use of custom rom's isn't illegal as long as it doesn't infringe any copyrights.

Custom rom's are very common on android devices.

They're not illegal but the manufacturer don't like the fact, so they add fuses and create locked bootloaders.

In case of huawei for example, they no longer allow it to unlock the bootloader, so you can't run custom rom's.

But some manufacturer even support the community, upload kernel source code and has a offical way to unlock their bootloaders (for example htc dev).

But almost every device get's a "tampered" flag through fuses as soon as you unlocked the bootloader and from now on the repair centre know's you no longer have warranty and you have to pay for the repair because the damage could have happened from running a custom rom + kernel with overclock options and your phone burnt out or something like this.

Please if i'm wrong, someone has to correct me before spread bull**** but that's what i think about the situation.

We'll see in the near future.

Hi, any hope of creating a flashable img that's greater than 128gb lets say 512gb not for the android partition although 256gb would be great......but for the fat32 partition when connected to a pc...….I have found that you can use this fat32 partition at the same time along with the 128gb partition to use the homebrew as normal... tested and it works only thing is fat32 partition is only 2gb...…. ideally it would need the remainder storage after 128gb is allocated for the android portion and the remainder would be the fat32 partition given I have a 512gb micro sd card. a program named guiformat can partition fat32 partitions up to 2tb...…. or does anyone know how to create a fat32 image of basically any size that I can copy the 2 original folders from the 2gb fat32 partition and then insert it into the unofficial lineage os image...…….thank you,

I have tried to keep up with this entire thread, and haven't seen anything specific about my following question, so if its been answered, apologies!

Firstly, its looking awesome, Android on switch seems like a match made in heaven. I am having horrendous touchscreen issues, which are worse in landscape, I have a screen protector on I wonder if this isn't helping? Any one made any progress improving this?

Secondly, I can get the joycons connected, and am having the same digital 8 way joysticks everyone is getting, and also having the triggers show phantom activation anytime i try and map the controllers on things like RetroArch, but I assume this will be looked into closely as this is the main feature of the switch. The main issue I can't seem to figure out, which seems super simple, is how are you all reconnecting in the joycons after a reboot?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] MasterZeroFX:
My switch, my rules.

This gives Nintendo ZERO prejudice, we are getting their console and loading Android making use of it's specs and that's it. This can't be detected by them, or be used to break any TOS.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] TheMadHeader:
On the first page of this thread one of the devs has listed the known bugs, touchscreen is included:

"The touchscreen sometimes detects touches even when your finger is just floating over the screen"

I also have horrendous touchscreen issues and I'm not using a screen protector. I've also tried another Switch and the touchscreen issues are the same. I'll also say that it's not just 'phantom' inputs are a problem, about 50% of the time touchscreen inputs aren't registered at all.

I badly hope that this is fixed soon as it's the only thing that really annoys me about this otherwise excellent first version of android on the Switch (I am aware that there are other problems but it's the buggy touchscreen support which annoys me the most).

If the devs are reading this, please can you let us know if you can patch this soon ? :)

You could be right about different revisions of the screens. As mentioned, I've consistently experienced the fault on two different Switches, both early models from 2017. The devs are obviously aware of it hence the bug being mentioned on the first page of this thread.

Edit: Solved! Sharing as a tip for others > simply lowering the "display size" value in Settings correctly rotates the home screen to portrait AND solves the "missing home, back and recent buttons " in portrait rotation issue!! The beauty of this solution is that this lowers the DPI giving more screen real estate WHILE keeping the resolution at 720p!

Steam link great!

Hi guys,

I want to share my great experience re to Steam link (stream games from your PC to switch), it's working great especially after activating HEVC video (settings>streaming>advanced>HEVC Video to Enablad) there is almost no network drop even with an old 2.4 GHZ wifi router that I tested, the joycon are fully supported (almost no lags) on all games that I own on Steam (tomb raider, sonic generations, small library I know :) ) and some that I added as non Steam games (Portal2, NFS rivals).

You can use this combined with Geforce Now (sync saves enabled for Steam games that you own) and you can start a game on local and continue on Geforce Now or vice versa, for a nomade like me it's a dream which becomes true, of course all this wasn't possible without the devs effort for doing/sharing this great work, thx so much you did an amazing work.

I hope this will help especially for those who like me don't own Nvidia GPU on their PC.

Hi [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION],

i dont get it to work. i´ve done all the things wicht r told in this post.

When i start into rcm an inject the payload all be good. i touch more config, after that i hold the vol+ button an touch the icon and os on. After a few seconds iam in the twrp.

when i go to mount i can see internal an micro sd with (0). klick on system it is mounted. after that i go to install, choose the gapps zip file and try to install, it starts and in about 2 or 3 seconds it hangs and reboot.

So what am i doing wrong?

Dolphin performance is really highly dependent on what game you're trying to play. Regardless, I recommend grabbing the latest dev version of the emulator from http://dolphin-emu.org/download. The only real seeing that made a noticable difference for me was the "emulated clock speed" setting. Setting the emulated clock to 50% I was able to run the intros to Paper Mario and Metal Gear Twin Snakes at full speed. Fzero GX still only ran at ~25-40fps and Super Mario Wii got between ~35-45fps. Keep in mind I haven't tested any of these games very far past the intro or at 720p due to lack of time so ymmv

how to install pogo

Hi! how did you get pogo to work? You flashed magisk and then what did you use to pass the safety net (and even more importantly, how did you let pokemon go you have a gps module in the switch?) i am interested in using gps joystick location and spoof from nintendo switch! i tried to read a bit of the thread, but it is too long and i didn't find how to do this.

I still guess you flashed magisk and used it to hide the root and custom rom in order to pass safety net, for the gps did you use smali patcher and that's it?

Is there a way to forward the joystick control from the touchscreen to the actual analog stick?

Thank you very much in advance for the reply, i well know how to root a droid device and spoof on pogo on a droid device, but all the devices i used had a gps module and a stock rom!
