They were active on here before the release because the build was basically already done days before release & they were only focused on fixing deep sleep which they failed to do. Before that they were silent. They are silent now because they are working on Pie and once it's close to being ready for release they'll probably become active here again.

I'm not on Discord and don't intend to join it. If someone is willing to copy and paste updates from the Discord channel into this thread, I'm certain that a lot of us would be extremely appreciative. I, for one, am curious as to what improvements Android Pie 9.0 will have over what we currently have on Oreo 8.1. Is there an ETA as to when the developers think they will be able to release the next beta update?

I haven't used Lineage OS much lately and don't intend to do any more testing, especially if we're moving into another version of it.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SonsofOcelot:
We aren't getting much more than what you've seen here. Gavin_Darkglider, CTCaer, Bylaws, and the others are still working out deep sleep. They also say they have a fix for the analog inputsThat should work on pie, and reboot to payload is seemingly mostly working. Also they are testing pie in private as Bylaws posted a pic on discord of his switch showing version 9. They also do work on L4T Ubuntu so there is that going on as well. So there is the "discord update", but I'd highly advise checking it and the gitlab out yourself at some point especially if you want to keep up because they are quite active there. Plus it would be better to get things from the devs themselves rather than me or others... Also eta's for update requests have been met with "eventually".
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] TheMadHeader:
This is great, thanks for the summary.

I hope that they fix the dodgy touchscreen inputs too. :)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SonsofOcelot:
That was something Gavin worked on I think. He pushed a commit on gitlab that was intended to fix some of the issues, but it was still bugging a couple of testers. Pie may fix it further. That is all for discord updates.

Why is the hos_data partition accessible in TWRP but not in Android? I followed the GBAtemp guide on resizing hos_data partition and I was hoping to move my Android apps to it since the userdata partition only has about 3-4GB of space left. Also it would be nice to share it between Horizon and Android so I don’t have two separate partitions where one would be taking up space on the Micro SD card but isn’t being used.

[MENTION=8085183]Neo_123[/MENTION], try again. Android should start booting in about 30 sec. If it doesn't, try again and again. To me it works once out of 2, but sometimes it needs 4 or 5 tries. It might be a 128 GB issue.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SonsofOcelot:
It's been discussed numerous times, but for whatever reason SanDisk cards do not play nice with this Android build or the switch in general. If you have another card try using it. It's not an issue with the 128gb image because my 128gb Samsung Evo Select U3 card boots in about 30 seconds consistently...

I've finally got Android working. It appears that the problem wasn't my sd card. I installed Android again on my card and it worked the first try. Before that I tried ten times and it didn't work. For some reason [MENTION=7781842]Gabri3lZ[/MENTION] 's script didn't do the installation correctly the first time but it did the second time.

Yeah, it does. But it seems that the installation is still a bit buggy since, as I said before, the first time I used the new version of the script it didn't install well.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SonsofOcelot:
Well it would seem that folks on the XDA forums here are a bit luckier than those on the discord. But even Hans is suggesting that SanDisk cards are being problematic. Gavin_Darkglider, myself, and others have all had issues with legit SanDisk cards using switchroot, so it's not exactly uncommon. Even in HOS my SanDisk has corrupted 3 times; twice as a FAT32 format and once as exFat...
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] techjunky90:
Your corruption was probably do to user error. I've been using a 200gb SanDisk formatted exfat for over a year & have had no corruption.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SonsofOcelot:
Actually I think it was due running RetroArch in nro format as an applet instead of injecting it as an application in an existing nsp... Either way my SanDisk card hasn't corrupted since I formatted to FAT32 through Linux on HOS, but it did struggle to load Android. Have had no problems with my Samsung card in HOS or Switchroot.

I'm still waiting on an answer, but could this be caused from a SanDisk card?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] funtimez:
First id like to say thank you to hans, great write up. I have a couple questions, hoping someone can help me out.

1. Every time I boot up lineageos I get a an error "process system isn't responding".

2. do I have to re pair the joycons every time I switch from sxox to lineage?

3. battery drain seems heavy. im down about 13% in 1 hour.

4. lineage doesn't always shut down properly.

5. is there a way I can access the fat32 sxos partition in lineage? I would like to download files from lineage but store them in the sxox fat32 partition.

is anyone else having these same issues or is the just normal. thanks in advance
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] akghar:
1. Normal. Bug know. Will be fixed in a next beta.

2. You'll have to re pair everytime you want to change the OS they are paired to.

Joycons paired to Switchroot will stay paired to it, even if you boot to Horizon, until you re pair them to Horizon.

Same thing when they are paired to Horizon.

3. Normal. Battery management will be improve next iterations of Switchroot.

4. Didn't have this problem, but then again, I didn't use it much and I have a very fast card.

5. Maybe with root. But I'll let more advanced users answer this one.

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] raginginferno:
After reading about people having issues with microSD cards in recent posts I decided to change mine like people have mentioned. Wow it made a huge difference. I originally had a SanDisk 32GB Extreme (the V30 U3 gold one). It seems to "corrupt" itself a lot. Booting took forever. Booting didn't always work. I reflashed the image so many times and started from scratch because it just wouldn't boot.

So I went out and bought the Samsung Evo Plus 32gb (U1 version). $15 whatever I can spare that. Wow huge difference! It boots up so much quicker. It actual boot up in general. It's snapper in Android and I might be getting less app crashes too. I haven't used it very much with this new card but I can tell it's so much better than the San disk. Like mentioned in previous posts, a faster card isn't better. And the San disk is twice as fast as the Samsung.

Looking forward to the next release! Awesome work!

Hi I am just wondering if there is a way to use the NFC Ability in the left joycon when connecting via Bluetooth running through the android lineage os as I can't see the NFC ICON when I scroll down is there a reason why it's not there ?? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hey guys, first time doing anything like this and so far the experience has been awesome. I've been able to stumble my way through some tutorials, and ultimately, I was able to install the OS onto my switch. The part I'm stuck on is actually pairing my Joycons (or any bluetooth controller) to my switch. It won't detect anything.. Ive tried turning bluetooth on and off several times while syncing. There doesn't even seem to be a "rescan" option anywhere.

Anyone know of a workaround? Or at least enlighten me to what I'm doing wrong?

There is no sleep. It just turns the screen off and the CPU will keep running at full performance.

Make sure you go in flight mode and put the performance mode on full battery saving when you don't wanna use it for a longer time. I bet if will last for more than a day when the screen is off.

Since we don't have rom.zip to flash in twrp for now, you need a backup from where you can restore /system to a previous state.

If you don't have a backup, you'll have to wait for an rom update or reflash your sd card (and make a nandroid backup of system and boot so you can restore it to original state later)
