A few suggestions

1) there isn't a problem with the WiFi it does not freeze. As downloading using a download manager from the playstore like adm works well. So my guess is there's a problem in the download manager API you guys are using.

2) Charging is really slow and I think that's to do with the kernel. So if you guys could change it to the actual speed at which the switch charges that would be great.

4) the grainy display can easily be fixed by turning the screen off by pressing the power button then turning it on again.

5) usb otg can work (xplore file manager detects usb drives when connected using the dock) so wired controller support would be great.

6) it boots in less than a minute after the first boot but if you have magisk installed it takes a ridiculously long time.

7) You cannot send audio input through a microphone using the headphone jack so that doesn't work.

8) maybe you can also have a manual control for the fan to increase its speed since the switch tends to get hot while running android

9) I've also had instances where it just turns off randomly

10)twrp is really laggy

These are just things I've noted and some suggestions I hope you read these

Go to developer options, find bluetooth avrcp version, change it from default to 1.6, most Bluetooth headsets, speakers, controllers work with it now.

The only thing missing for me is proper controller support (analogue movement, xinput layout) and this would be something I would actually use on a daily basis. Moonlight is amazing. Being able to play my pc games as long as I have WiFi is the tits.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] fabnaz77:
You need to download an older version of nvidia app ( version 5.22.26891545 ) and games will launch fine.

You can find it on apk mirror website.

You need to disable the current version first then install.

The only problem for me with this app is I can't manage to remap keys like on xbox controller (invert A B and X Y).

if someone has an idea...

Ironically I used nvidia games to play fortnite for the first time. It worked great! But I am able to pass safety net and I posted a video how to do that. Also I would 1st reformat then reflash an image. Then load to twrp then flash gapps then sheildifier after mounting. Then load android again and set it up change settings like lock screen turn on dev mode and turn on stay awake then use performance max setting then install magisk follow my video to pass safetynet To those wanting more space why no use usb? I use a 64gb sd and a 256gb mounted via stick mount. I am happy as a clam.

Sucks to see what this topic has become. Could really use a official update from the devs. Even if it's something as simple as "were still working on pie"

I tried to reproduce your problem in a VirtualBox VM with Ubuntu 18.04 myself. I had the same umount error. This is why I removed the "-q" option for umount and created a new release on GitHub. Unfortunately I could not reproduce the other issues. All partitions were created and named correctly on my test runs. The switchroot_android and bootloader folders were also present. I don't know if it helps, but here are some configuration changes I made for my VM:

USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller instead of USB 2.0

Enable EFI activated

Enable 3D Acceleration (can't imagine this makes any difference)

This is my complete VirtualBox configuration:

Also make sure the device is not mounted in Windows or whatever host OS you are using. I had to manually mount my device in VirtualBox. I used VirtualBox 6.0 on a Windows 10 host machine.

What is the log output on the line "Checking that no-one is using this disk right now" for you?

Awesome.

This is absolutely sick and I knew it would happen eventually as soon as I learned the switch is an Nvidia Shield with some small changes.

It's only logical to be honest.

I fully expected it to BE a Shield when Android ran on it and you have done that as well.

My only question is, the ethernet adapter.... Does it work? I'd rather use it than WiFi anyway. Actually, another question.... When the Switch is "Shieldified" this means it reports to Netflix that it is a Shield too.

This means we will get FullHD support while streaming Netflix videos correct?

You can use SX to boot it.

On the small fat32 partition,put the latest SX os boot.dat file, and put the latest hekate payload.bin file. When you boot to SX, keep volume + held in.

From the sx menu,go to more options,choose payloads and select hekate.bin(or whatever yours is called) then you can continue from there as per the guide

My Switch died and won't enter RCM?

For context, I am running android on my switch, and also have autoRCM on so I dont have to deal with pins. I use TegraRCMGUI on my laptop to deliver the payload. Usually when it dies i just charge it for a few hours, plug it into my laptop, deliver the payload and then boot android. However, recently it died and after charging it for a few hours as usual tegraRCMGUI would not allow me to inject the payload. I tried charging it for a day or so but to no avail. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix it and why this time is different? My version of Windows did update recently, and thats the only thing I can think of that has changed.

On the console message for r2p, it said I needed to reinstall magisk, which I did. According to the post above, my Android is bricked.

One more question, does deep sleep work now? I was under the impression that Minerva would solve the deep sleep problem.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] zachycatgames:
reinstalling the r2p update should make it bootable again, but you won't be able root it until the fixed version of the update is posted (which should be soon-ish). Dunno if the backup tool works. Deep sleep still doesn't work (GPU is still being problematic iirc).

For those having the issue with magisk, the fix is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2r4ugn308nk2eb0/reboot2payload_final.zip?dl=0 just reflash with this, then flash magisk, and it works again with root. Sorry about the mistake, I didnt test with magisk on my switch, as I was assuming it would work, as when I packed the images originally it works just fine with magisk, but I was using stary2001's release images, which were packed wrong.

switch games corrupted after booting android

just wanted to pop in and ask if anyone has insight on this. Been using my hacked switch for over a year now, never had installed games get corrupted before. But now, all my nsp run fine until I switch my sd card and boot android, do some messing about to see how streaming is working, then when I switch back the card and boot cfw (atmosphere through kosmos) I always seem to have 1-3 random games failing to load up saying the data is corrupted. It's not a huge problem as my save files are fine but it is annoying to have to redownload/reinstall my games each time I want to fiddle with android :/

I too decided to drop in and saw this. This may be redundant, so I apologize if true...

Don’t use exfat format on sd with nsp’s. That can cause corruption if not shutdown properly.

Your cfw of choice may be acting up due to recent updates.

T may be getting too close to the line, as piracy and the phrase “nsp” go hand in hand, just remember the only source you can trust is yourself.

I too ran into same problems. I concluded Kosmos with nsp patch was the issue. With Overwatch coming, I backed off for online play and I’m waiting for sleep to get fixed in android.
