Out of interest, does the just released Android version of Doom run any better (or worse) on Switch under Android compared to Switch under Horizon?

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Also, does anyone else have problems with the touchscreen sometimes not registering inputs? I've not had any issues with the same Switch when running Horizon. I'm aware that the current release of Android has some touchscreen issues, I was just wondering if this was one of them.

If you have resolution problems try this

I was having issues with Kodi in handheld mode. The OS resolution is set for 1080p while Kodi detects the actual screen resolution of 720p.

You can actually see this when lineage starts up. The boot animation starts full screen then "shrinks" to the upper left hand corner. That is because the OS changes it resolution to 1080p during the boot process.

Back to Kodi. This conflict of screen vs OS resolution was giving me touchscreen issues. Try it for yourself. Download Kodi, try to touch an element, you will be off by quite a bit. Turns out that the "touch area" is the 1280x720 upper left hand corner of the screen. So if you "scale" your presses just right, you can touch the element you want in Kodi. This sucks...

My solution. Reset the screen resolution and dpi back to stock. Here is how you do it:

1. Get root. I used Magisk

2. Get a terminal emulator

3. In the terminal type

su
wm size reset
wm density 237
wm overscan reset
wm scaling auto

You probably only really need the first two commands. I also don't know how this might affect docked mode.

After a reboot the resolution is reset to 1080p. Is there are way to keep my resolution change between boots?

BTW. I am now watching a 2160p SDR x265 mkv in Kodi on my switch with no lag at all... I'm assuming that this is GPU accelerated because there is no way that the CPU can decode this file that fast.

Black screen at boot

I'm having some trouble on first boot. I've used Etcher to burn the 64gb image to a 64gb SD. I follow the instructions, before booting into Android the first time, I boot into TWRP. I flash the Open GApps ARM64 8.1 (Mini) zip. I reboot into Hekate and boot normal into Android, but then it just sits at a black screen. The Lineage boot logo never shows. The backlight is on, but nothing happens for a long time. :confused:

I tried re-flashing and this time skipping the Open Gapps, and I can boot into Android fine, but then when I reboot to TWRP to flash the Gapps, reboot back and now Google apps are crashing. I read you are supposed to flash Gapps before your first boot, but when I do that I get the black screen hang. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :good:

I think since it's codename is "foster" and the rom is based on the nvidia shield tv device trees, the answer could be that there is no stable LineageOS 16 build yet (which stands for Android 9)

I was wondering whether my observations that the JoyCons analogue sticks only register as off (0%) or on (100%) were correct, so I downloaded Gamepad tester from the Play Store to check.

Also, I've noticed the Pro Controller doesn't have full range according to software. This gets in the way of gameplay as you can't steer fully to the sides etc

Android on Nintendo switch!

This is super cool! I’m enjoying using this very much. I have had very few problems. Besides root. It’s sometimes working and sometimes not. I’ve had to reinstall it 3 times now. Also I keep getting “Process system isn’t responding” as an error. It doesn’t actually do anything. Sometimes the os just crashes and I just re-enter it and it works again perfectly. Keep up the good work guys!

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] protechtedd:
Same problem here. Hoping someone can tell us how to fix it. I've tried two different SD cards so far, and tried different processes. The only way I got it to boot one time was not flashing Gapps before first boot, but then after flashing Gapps on second boot, all Google apps start crashing out...

EDIT: I finally got it to boot. I let it sit for over an hour and came back, hit the power button, and it was at the welcome wizard.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] weirdingway:
Just curious if anyone else has tried this. I can connect to PS4 Remote Play via Moonlight but Remote Play doesn't recognize my Joycons (which are connected to BT and work fine in other Android apps).

I have a PS4 controller connected to the PC via USB and it works fine to control the PS4. Sound and video are transferring fine to the Switch but no way to control with Joycons. I think to do it on the phone people had to connect the PS4 controller to the phone but this is a different situation where I want to use different controllers on an Android device. Any ideas? Is it just a matter of Switch stuff getting sent as XInput and maybe I need to have something running in the background on my PC to convert XInput to DS4?

The weird thing is that I got this to work "fine" with the In Home Switching nro. I had to be pretty close to the PS4 because the sound part needed me to use a PS4 controller nearby (not plugged into anything) with a headset plugged into it... Moonlight on the Switch doesn't have this problem but I'm guessing sends my inputs differently to the PC than In-Home Switching did.

Few Questions

Hello,

So just as a note before I ask my questions:

- I have a first Gen Switch, running on latest version.

- I got it running with Sandisk Ultra 400GB Micro SDXC UHS-I Card with Adapter - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA.

- I used the 128gb version above, installed the GApps, cleared cache, installed the shieldify thing after, cleared cache again.

- Pretty much followed Nevercholt Techs video on it for everything that isn't mentioned above.

Okay. So here are my questions:

- Is it possible to increase the size of the Fat32 partition?

- When turning off the Switch (using the power button, selecting Power Down), do I have to repeat the process (just the boot with VOL+ held and onwards) again to boot back into LineageOS? (I tried to, but no luck. Had to do the full process involving the mounting and installing.)

- Any plans in the foreseeable future to be able to access files from the Fat32 partition when in Android?

Last but not least, thank you. This is a really cool thing. I'd be happy to test some things out, just ask.

Joycon charging??

I've done a bit of testing and so far I've had a great experience.

LineageOS runs like LineageOS and the switch has a decent performance.

Just one question:

Are the joycons charging in android mode?

Because they're connected via bluetooth, not the joycon interface and the OS won't detect them while attached to the console.

And i found some bugs:

If you switch to another dpi, the navbar icons will break in portrait mode

LiveDisplay (especially Night mode) doesn't work.

No usb connection for debugging/mtp >> it reports a com4 device in device manager.

They're easy to reproduce so i think a logcat isn't needed.

But it wouldn't be a problem to provide one if needed.

Just tell me. [MENTION=576676]langer hans[/MENTION]

2. auto orientation

3. usb mount to pc to acess sdcard

4. sleepmode

5. bugfixes such the bootlogo correction ect.. haha

6.touch input, when I hover the finger above the screen it regonize it as touch, little annoying does not happen in switch os.

but over all its a great build. thanks so much for this build.

This is awesome!

As my title states this is awesome! I'm actually on my switch writing this, it's so cool.

I installed moonlight and tried a game of rocket league and it worked pretty well. One thing I noticed while playing however is the joycons have an issue where the control sticks are either 0% or 100% pressed. There is no in between. I'm not sure if this is something that could be addressed in a future build but it really seems to be one of the only things holding this build back for me.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this.

I'm not sure if someone else provided this option for you yet. I just found this and I'm trying to read through all the pages. lol

What I did was copy the Hekate payload, SXOS boot and license files to the sd card after writing the image. When you inject the sxos payload, hold down the vol + button. This will give you access to the SXOS boot menu. In there click on options, then payloads, and select the Hekate payload from the sd card. This method works for me. I have a trinket m0 installed internally in my switch with the sxos payload on it. So this is the work around I've been using to boot other payloads without having to switch the payload on the Trinket m0.
