If it a non-patched Switch (i.e. manufactured before July 2018, check serial), then it will work regardless of firmware version.

If it is a patched Switch (i.e. after July 2018), you can still use it as long as it comes with firmware 4.1 or earlier.

Almost every time I put my Switch in the dock the image on my HP monitor is distored. The HDMI is directly connected to the dock and monitor.

Bluetooth. L3 and R3 are working with my PS4 controller and there are reports of Switch pro controllers also working via bluetooth.

Some other tidbits as I've been fooling around with this for the last couple hours

Moonlight streaming works great. Tried it with native and non native steam games

Geforce now also works great however i only get sound in handheld mode. When docked no sound. Also there seemed to be more lag when docked then on handheld. Now i do have my dock hooked up via ethernet so idk if that's causing it or not

Was not able to get either my ps4 or xbox one controllers working by usb. Only by bluetooth(ps4-My xbox one controller is wired only)

Wasn't able to get Remote play with ps4 to work either. The older versions will install but it will just ask for a update once u sync it to your ps4. The latest version wont even install.

Okay, so I go into the recovery mode, I tap mount, then I tap system and vendor. All is good, right? Nope. When I check back into recovery mode and I tap mount, system and vendor is unticked.

We have to wait for the installer.

I'm hyped for Android on Switch but I prefer to use only one SD card, so I'll just wait for the installer.

Do you think it is safe to play Nintendo mobile games on this? May Nintendo detect you are using Android on Switch and ban you?

Press mount, then select storage and select micro sdcard and press ok...

Then make sure system, micro sd card, and data are checked and leave vendor blank.

Hit back button then selct install and select your gapps from external sd card.

I might've found a bug, but I'm not sure if it's from this switch release or LineageOS in general. If I increase the display size in the settings so that the UI gets larger, going into portrait mode compresses all the navigation buttons into one so that I can only hit the home button. I've had this happen with CyanogenMod a few years back but from my recollection it just went away after a reboot.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] GuitarXxX:
When you bought your Switch? You have to check if your Switch is hackable before (https://ismyswitchpatched.com/)

If your Switch is hackeable you are going to need:

1- a jig (to put Switch on RCM mode)

2- A PC and a USC-C cable to load the payload to the Switch (https://gbatemp.net/threads/rcm-payload-hekate-ctcaer-mod.502604/)

3 - a new sd card and follow the instructions on the first page.

For everybody who is asking, YOU NEED A SPECIFIC SD CARD JUST FOR LINEAGE OS.

You can't have Android and Switch OS in the same sd card.

How to make Hekate autoboot Antroid?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] TheMadHeader:
Have just installed this onto a 64GB Sandisk SD card and it's really impressive - nice and fast, especially for a Beta release.

A huge amount of thanks must go to all those who made this happen! :)

Main issues so far with it (all known about):

- touchscreen is very erratic, for example it's far too easy to enter multiple inputs. Often I try and enter a letter or a number and end up entering nnn or 4444, etc. Sometimes it won't register inputs at all

- lack of auto rotation is annoying - I can work around it with the Rotation Control app but it's a bit cumbersome doing that

In addition to those, two that I haven't seen listed:

- Restart won't work, the display clears and then just stays like that

- I can't seem to install apps from within Firefx (need to use the Google Play installer instead) - in Firefox after selecting 'Install' the circular animation appears and just stays there with no progress

So far everything works as expected for me but I still got a problem when I connect it to my TV (it's an old Loewe): The resolution stays at 1280*720 50hz. When using HorizonOS it switches correctly to 1920*1080 60hz.

I had the same problem with L4T Ubuntu. There I could edit the script which got executed when docked and just edit the corresponding xrandr command which is not possible in Android.

I tried messing with framebuffer settings without success.

Has anyone any idea how to fix this in Android? Thanks a lot!

AFAIK vanilla android lacks a lot features and bundled applications (unless you install google services) and even bundles proprietary google services.

I launched it. It asked me to connect to my steam profile. I was then able to play any game in my steam account. Even if it wasn't actually installed on my pc. Games i tested out were

Nier Automata

Resident Evil 2

Monster Hunter World

As far as moonlight streaming games i tested out were

Devil May Cry V

FFXV

Sonic Forces

All of them ran at 100% full speed with the ability to use a ps4 controller(bluetooth) with correct button mapping. Really incredible tbh. Again only hiccup i found was during geforce now i did not get sound while docked(i did get sound in handheld)

Moonlight streaming i got sound in both.
