Analog sticks now recognized by Dolphin

Hey everyone, I was messing around with the layout files and rewrote the flats value and now Dolphin recognizes the analog sticks (or at least the left control stick, didn't get far enough to test the right c stick). This does not fix the stick being recognized as a digital input however. You can unzip the joyconfix.zip from the OP and replace the files there or overwrite them using Total Commander and Magisk, either way should work. Hope someone finds this useful.

Has anyone figured out a workaround for the deep sleep problem? If I leave my switch for just a few minutes it goes to sleep and I have to restart. I realize deep sleep isn't working but is there a way to prevent it from sleeping and causing me to restart every time it does?

It's not an "unofficial" release, per se. As in, this is absolutely an official release of switchdroid from the switchroot team. A beta, yes, but official from the team nonetheless. The reason it's tagged as [UNOFFICIAL] in the title is because this is an "unofficial" spinoff of the lineageOS ROM version of Android. It's not a device that is normally supported by the LineageOS team, rather the switchroot devs have modified LineageOS to run properly on the switch, and have now released their official beta of an unofficial version of Android (LineageOS). Sorry if that still doesn't make much sense...

OK I have a question. I don't want to have to use my jig every time I want to boot to Android. So, I read that you can use Auto RCM in Hekate to solve this problem, which I did. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to launch the stock Nintendo Switch operating system from Hekate. Can someone please advise?

Ethernet adapter while docked (only tested official dock) works great. However, this causes certain apps to not recognize that the device indeed does have internet and only checks for a WiFi connection. I don't have specific examples, mostly because I forgot what they were, but it's a bug nonetheless.

I installed the ROM into my Switch, I flashed the ROM with Balena Etcher, and later before starting Android O went into TWRP and flashed the Gapps (nano, 8.1, ARM64), wipe dalvik and cache and restarted the console.

Once restarted, it's stuck in Lineage bootanimation. I'm using a Samsung EVO Plus SD card.

I might test another Sandisk card I have, but I'm not sure whether it'll work

Hey, I'm using swift installer to get the system darker and its working just fine.

For those wondering swift can be a pain because it reboots where theres app updates, and ya know, switch requires rcm every time for that, worry not because swift does a soft reboot meaning it will "reboot" and then return to the lockscreen.

I felt like dropping this here.

It won't touch the eMMC at all, all the magic happens on your sdcard which has to be erased completely, better not use your current one, get another.

You can boot via hekate which you will have a special config on your flashed sdcard (use the provided images).

Another way is getting Rotation Control from the play store and using that. It will put the icons in the notifications so you can easily switch it from there.

You can install an app called System App Remover from the play store that will allow you to uninstall system apps. You need to be rooted, but by this point, you should be anyways.

This is actually a common issue in the android world. It has something do with the Play Protect Certification. If a device can't be Play Protect Certified, then Netflix won't show up for it. Netflix actually has an article posted about it and they provide a link to download the apk. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/12983#android

To get your sd card back to normal you can use the diskpart tool in a command prompt through windows to delete the partitions and create a new partition. Disk Management in Windows should also work(type diskmgmt.msc into the Run dialog box.) There are a few other GUI based programs that will allow you to manage partitions that will work as well. Basically any partition manager should do the trick.

An easy check is based off the serial number. Here's some info on that. https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-...he-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/

If you buy it new at a store, there's a 99.99999% chance it won't be hackable.

Nope, it's based on the device itself. I used to have a Oneplus One and it didn't pass the checks. The phone's bootloader wasn't even unlocked, Oneplus just didn't have the device authorized or whatever. I'm almost positive that everyone's Switch running android will run into this issue. The only thing to do is download the apk from the internet and install it on the switch manually.

I've had luck recently getting the newest version of the Netflix app from apkpure. It's the one with the black logo, not the white one that says (Android TV) in the file name. I guess another option would be to use another android device to download it, then use APK extractor to get the apk file, then transfer it over to the Switch.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] izz77:
can confirm the apkpure one works put the quality isn't good don't know why
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
That's normal.

Hekate does only read the 2gb partition.

I guess the partition must be some linux file system which can't be read in windows.

The downloadable images will create a partition layout like you'll find on a native android device.

The partition layout of android is a little bit weird and even I don't know how the root of the storage device looks like.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] underd0g:
On linux, I can read the partition just fine. But don't know why when I inject hekate it doesn't read the sdcard and Nyx Interface doesn't shown up.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Well that's strange

So does you switch show anything after injecting hekate?

Maybe try another sd card
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] xxcrashxx:
I believe that's because of the earlier mentioned Play Protect Certification failure. If the device doesn't pass that certification, they limit the playback to a lower quality.

On another note, Geforce Now just started working for me. I got android on my switch working a little over 24 hours ago and I was able to do the Gamestream from the Nvidia Games app, but all the free Geforce Now games just said "Free for users"(or something along those lines). I just got done playing GTA V through Gamestream off my PC and when I exited it, the Geforce Now icon popped up next to the Gamestream Icon, and now the free Geforce Now games say "Included" under their titles. Here's a couple screenshots of it. So I'm not sure if I got lucky and it just started working for me out of the blue, or if it's working for everyone now. I did also sign up for the beta of it just last night from my pc. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Do you remember how you installed the zips on TWRP, after installing shieldifier did you wipe cache/dalvik?
