[MENTION=10069138]Nila-sama[/MENTION] if I reboot from horizonOS into hekate, change sd card and boot android. my power button works. if I start through autorcm with payload, it only works with volume button

edit: I will try to use the hekate files from my horizon sd card on android sd and check if it change anything.

edit2: not sure what was exaclty reason. I copied files from sys folder and changed hekate_ipl.ini to match I had on horizon sd. now power button works
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
Since I installed Lineage OS onto my original launch Nintendo Switch console, only the Micro SD card with Android has been inserted. I haven't reinserted my other Micro SD card that has Horizon OS Switch data files. I'm assuming swapping out the cards doesn't alter anything. However, I've never swapped cards with the console turned on in any way, shape, or form; only while the console has been turned off. I've also never used autoRCM either.

Are you implying that you have an issue getting the power button to work when you have autoRCM set? If so, I can't help you unfortunately because I don't have experience or knowledge on that matter. I've always manually enabled RCM mode. Keep us updated if you manage to get it to work somehow.

Edit: Congrats on getting it to work!

I've starting another battery preservation test. The parameters are as follows:

-lowest brightness from OS settings

-airplane mode

-lowest performance mode in OS settings, power saver

-Pixoff at setting 8, which is 63% of the pixels on the screen disabled

-Twilight at 80% extra screen dim setting

-Servicely activated

-I've disabled some more services and deleted some more applications, which I'm hoping will help with application battery consumption

-all notifications disabled

-disabled all UI effects

-start time at 18:45 EST with 96% battery life

I will allow the console to sit idle for a

minimum

of 12 hours. I will report the results once I have them and I'm hoping the depletion per hour percentage will be lower than yesterday's test of 4.83%, which is the lowest I've been able to get it up to this point.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

That's very odd. To my understanding, we all had to first enter hekate to launch Switchroot. The fact that your Switch is booting straight to Android proves your RCM mode is working which means you could manually try to inject hekate.bin from your PC using TegraRCM GUI. Remove your SD card if the PC option fails; Hekate's config file on your sdcsrd may have been set to auto launch Swirchroot. Did you manully enable any setting in hekate to auto launch Switchroot? I've asked around on gbatemp and reddit if anyone can relate to your issue. Will get back to you if I get a meaningful response.

Nila-sama for president! Seriously, team Switchroot should add you to their group to optimize and test battery life. You've done a remarkable job with these tests.

If you have a little more time, I'd love to know the battery drain rate with your current mods at different performance profiles along with a general list of your usage patterns (gaming, apps, general time watching video on and off WiFi). Feel free to disregard this request if it wastes your valuable time. We all appreciate what you've shared thus far.

Honestly, great job team. The fact that I played Banjo Kazooie on Mupen and Shadow of Mordor on GeForce Now yesterday blew me away. Not to mention I played Shadow of Mordor for an hour and only lost 21% battery. I don't even have that kind of time to play games anymore, but being able to play them on the go is a game changer. Thanks for the amazing work!
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
I don't mind doing these tests, but first I want to try and hit that 24 hour sleep/idle mark first. Unless we receive a new update or patch that vastly improves current battery life, this will be my main priority since I'm so close to achieving it. I just need to find a way to save another 0.7-0.8% battery depletion per hour. I have a second Nintendo Switch (2019 model that's patched, but was extremely inexpensive) that I'm playing on for the time being. Initial plan was to trade it in at Gamestop for the $225 credit towards a Mariko Switch. However, I need to wait for Digital Foundry's video with their findings and testings on it first.

Concerning future battery related tests, I can do the following:

-watch Youtube videos for a fixed amount of time (Wi-Fi)

-watch a movie on VLC Media Player (airplane mode)

-play more intensive emulators on various performance profiles

-browse websites that I normally look at from my computer for a fixed amount of time

I think that's all I can think of right now. I don't use any social media, so scrolling around through applications of that nature won't be a test I'll conduct. However, I could install Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr, Deviantart, or any other application that has endless scrolling that I can do on and actually get use out of. I absolutely love Dragon Ball Z and The Legend of Zelda, so there will never be enough pictures to download.

The main reason I was enamored with Lineage OS on the Nintendo Switch was for the Nintendo emulators as I knew this would be the ultimate machine for it. Well, the reality is here, with some quirks of course. However, I'm certain they'll all be ironed out in future updates and our experience is going to go in only one direction. I'm excited!

Unfortunately, parameters on my latest battery test weren't correct since the console was found dead after 17 hours of sleep/idle and it should've lasted this long based on the previous test. It should've been at 16.89% battery life remaining, at least. I'm currently charging it now and will attempt again in a couple of hours, and maybe this time, I'll test only 12 hours just in case.

[MENTION=10064142]Count_NOOBula[/MENTION] , can you PM me your list of disabled services and deleted applications? I'd like to disable as much as I can from the system as anything will help further battery life preservation at this point.

To those of you that are having problems with Nvidia Games, this solution worked great for me. I reinstalled everything, instead of choosing Nano Pack of the Open google Package i selected the full package. I flashed the LineageOS 15.1 128gb (that matches my sd card) Wiped dalvik catche, and i flashed joycon fix and wiped dalvik, then i flashed magisk and wiped dalvik, at the end i also flashed shieldify and flashed dalvik and ended with flashing Magisk and wiped dalvik. The solution that worked for me was to delete the Nvidia Games with titanium backup and install the older version of this app ( you need the version before 6th of August NVIDIA Games 5.22.26891545). I started trying it with half life 2 and Gta V. Both worked really well. I tryed with the newest version of Nvidia Games but i got an error trying to open the games. I love this rom and i really appriciate the hard work the developers did to make this happen.

I have another sleep/idle battery test result. I think I'll do the entire 12 hours as planned, but here are 6 hours thus far:

-lowest brightness from OS settings

-airplane mode

-lowest performance mode in OS settings, power saver

-Pixoff at setting 8, which is 63% of the pixels on the screen disabled

-Twilight at 80% extra screen dim setting

-Servicely activated

-all notifications disabled

-disabled all UI effects

8/13/19

15:12, 99%

17:17, 88%

19:12, 78%

21:14, 68%

5.16% battery depletion per hour. It was 5.5% around the 4 hour mark, so maybe it'll continue to decrease by the time the 12 hours are up.

***Please note that this isn't the highest Pixoff setting. I don't recall the exact number (maybe 11 or 12? and it was 97% of the pixels on screen disabled) and that was the setting I used when I achieved the 4.83% battery depletion per hour. The only issue with that high Pixoff setting is that it's nearly impossible to see the screen come time to reduce the Pixoff and Twilight settings back to normal.***
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] protechtedd:
You only need to wipe Dalvik once, if ever. Dalvik is just a cache of the apps, kind of like unpacking of apps into cache so they load faster. It's only necessary after Magisk install but very rarely after installing anything else. Doing so will cause the switch to boot slower and apps to load slower the first time.

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

Are you saying your Vol + button is broken? If so, you may not have any option unless the Switchroot devs build a secondary boot method into recovery.

If however your button is not broken, you need to do this: After you've selected Switchroot to boot, as soon as you see the Hekate logo screen, hold Vol +. Hold it for 7 seconds, you'll see the backlight turn on but still be black, you can let go at this point. Don't let go before the backlight comes on. If the backlight doesn't come on within 10 seconds, force reboot and try again.

The only reason Nvidia blocked it is because they have a financial interest to do so. People won't purchase their Nvidia Shield Tablet to stream games if the Switch does it all the same. Switch is a direct competitor to them. No other apps are going to block.

Also, screw Nvidia Games app. Download "Moonlight" from play store, it's the same streaming technology but open source and IMO better.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Phillyrider807:
Umm. Nvidia Games app and Moonlight aren't the same. Nvidia games app also includes "geforce now" Which lets u stream games from your steam library WITHOUT your pc.

Moonlight while amazing in its own right only allows streaming from your active pc to your switch. Geforce now streams the game directly from their own servers so u don't have to be next to your pc to play the games or even have to have then installed. You just have to "own" them.

But you did post a good reason on why we shouldn't expect any other apps to be blocked.

I found a problem when I try this Android system.

I have two "Sandisk Extreme Pro" TF cards (CLASS10 U3 A2 128G). When I connect my device directly to the "Sandisk Extreme Pro" TF card, I can't successfully enter the Android system. But I can enter the recovery mode. At first I thought it was a problem with my tf card, so I tried another one of the same model, and it was the same problem. I even disassemble my device and replaced it with a brand new TF card slot . but still did not solve the problem.At this point, in recovery mode, I can't mount any partitions, including sdcard, boot, system, and data.

But when I use a low level Kingston TF card and a low level SanDisk TF card (CLASS10 U1), it is working and booting Android System.

Later, I found out that when I used the tf card slot extension cable to access my U3 TF card, it worked fine, So I think this is the speed of TF is too high causing it to not load the partition properly, because the extension cable will lose more than 50% of the transmission speed. This is my card and the extension cord I used.

I hope someone can fix this.

(If I have a grammar problem, please forgive me because my native language is not English)

Hi, guys!

I'm having an issue with formatting the micro sd card. I have an 128GB card and selected the 128GB image to format. After the image was burned on mSD card with etcher, it's showing me only 2GB allocated on the card. What am I doing wrong?

That's the FAT32 partition and it's normal that it's only 2GB. You're probably using Windows, so you can't see the other partitions used by Android.

You didn't do anything wrong. Your PC will only show the 2GB fat32 partition; it can't show the second partition where the Android image was written by Etcher. Boot into Android and you'll see the rest of your sdcard storage in LineageOS.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Count_NOOBula:
I'm sorry to say but gapps needed to be flashed in using twrp BEFORE booting into LineageOS doe the first time. I know it's bit more work, but I'm afraid you'll have to

1. Start from scratch and burn your IMG to the card.

2. Download the gapps zip from open gapps website and put it on your 2GB fat32 partition

3. In hakate, hold volume + while tapping "Switchroot" to enter TWRP << the hekate equivalent in the Android world.

4. In TWRP tap "Mount" and check all boxes. Then go back to the TWRP home screen & tap "Install" > select your gapps zip > swipe to flash the zip > manually shutdown your Switch

5. Boot into Switchroot using Hekate as normal

Enjoy Gapps.

Note: individual gapp apks can be downloaded from the web and the play store, but those are only useful in UPDATING individual gapp components. The core gapps zip needs to be flashed before Android's first boot to make each component talk to one another during the initial Android setup.

Edit: if I misread your problem and you've already tried flashing, MAKE SURE you followed the mounting step mentioned above.

Holy moly!! 3x as high as it sitting idle with everything turned down & mods?!!! I know HD and fHD video playback sucks more battery than lower resolutions (esp in 'picture in picture' mode), but this is an eye opening depletion rate, esp considering you had your other mods enabled during the test. Does that mean drain rates as high as 20-30% per hour for those who didn't make any mods @ 50-70% brightness? Team Switchroot certainly have their work cut out for them.

That said, having used Lineage and it's grandfather CyanogenMod for a few years, I can confidently say that these kind of results are typical of a first beta. Things WILL improve. The hardest part is over. All we need now is patience and faith in the team Switchroot.
