[MENTION=10069138]Nila-sama[/MENTION] :) I can't tell you how many people you've helped with your meticulous battery life testing. I've recommended your XDA posts to many and have heard nothing but praise. Hope they showed their appreciation for your hard work with kind words in DMs or through XDA' "thanks" button. We're all very grateful!

Medschool finals prep has me swamped; I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day. Since my last post, the only marginally useful advice I can give to boost performance and battery life by about 15-20%, is by disabling something known as "Activities, Receivers and Providers" in certain apps, using an app like Ultimate Backup v3.1.3.0 (tap an app > swipe to ADVANCED > Tap Advanced Freeze and select what you want disabled). Examples of things that can be disabled include Facebook Activities and Providers (esp in apps you haven't linked to Facebook) and of course, Ad and Analytics activities & providers. As always, disable them one at a time to see if anything crucial breaks within the app (OS stays untouched) so you can easily reverse the changes. Feels like we're grasping for straws to save battery life at this point. Android 9 can't come soon enough.

Aside from that, I've been desperately trying to backup my Coursera, edX, Busuu, PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile user data .Titanium misses a few crucial things, esp in PUBG and CoD. Can't really mess around with the system if I don't have my data backed up. I probably won't have time to do any testing til Pie arrives.

Anyways, hope you're all set to enjoy the coming holiday break! Thanks again for your help, Nila.

Well, I'm glad that I've been able to contribute in the community somehow. I've noted down the application, will install it the next time I enter LineageOS, and test it out. I'm hoping the Android 9.0 update will be a terrific success from the team! Recently, an Android 9.0 update was released for my phone, the Razer Gaming Phone. There are bugs and glitches, which has been annoying since they weren't present in 8.1, but I like the slight differences overall. I imagine the Switch version will be similar.

Good luck on your finals and I hope you ace them!

When I try to boot Switchroot Android in Hekate (in order to install android) while im holding VOL+ button it wont boot, goes back to hekate. I tried to start pushing VOL+ button before launching switchroot android and after, every time its loading hekate again. Does anyone know how to fix it?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
How long are you holding the button pressed for?

"During the initial phase of the LineageOS android installation the VOL+ button must be held

until

the TWRP menu pops up!"

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] stachu94:
I know that because I run through few tutorials (including one that u indicated) before I started installation of android. I watched also few video tuturials and everyone after clicking switchroot android and holding VOL+ button get black screen and eventually they get into TRWP, my screen after hekate logo is loading hekate menu again even if I hold VOL+ still in hekate menu nothing happening.

Is there a way to install android on an SD card without wiping or deleting everything on it? I'd like to just create an android partition and keep everything else.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Until a next release (probably not before pie runs) you have no option.

Future releases will be released as rom zip as the partition structure already exists and there is no need for flashing the sd card again.

Official updates from Switchroot team finally!!!

http://twitter.com/switchroot_org/status/1184196178499592193

"Some updates on recent developments: lp0 aka deep sleep made a huge step forward as the Switch can now successfully resume after entering deep sleep. There are still software bugs to iron out before this is fully functional."

"Next up is auto rotation. The IMU has finally been found and can be interfaced with. This means auto rotation of the screen based on device orientation is now possible!"

"Regarding updates: The next release will be either Pie or Q. It hasn't been decided yet but Q is more likely as it would come with much better joycon support including fully analog sticks."

They´re working on it but will take some time.

There´s still lots of work that has to be done and the devs will more likely bring up a android pie or Q update than another oreo build with bug fixes and since none of them are booting and/or stable it will take some time.

Anyway to make the 3.5mm jack headphones audio work in docked mode? No audio at all from headphones, only thru tv.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Foxlum:
I got it on my switch, waiting for the Pie and/or Q update. It would be interesting to see a Switch Android Accessories market, like a camera and microphone module that plugs in from the USB-C port. Camera in the center, flash beside it, microphone below the flash and a USB-C passthrough below the camera assembly just far enough away from the crevice so you can still insert the switch into the dock. Wishful thinking, but I just wanted to throw the idea out there.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Don't know but maybe go to settings and see if you can switch the audio output or is this a pie featute, I'm not sure.

On my phone i can switch the audio playback device in audio settings.

But with pie released this should be working on thr switch aswell.

Oh and btw. you can try "disable usb audio routing" in developer settings aswell.

I jumped into the android switchroot bandwagon and i love it, good job to the team.

I have just one question, i saw a lot of post of "we fixed that, we added this, etc." but i'm still seeing an archive from 27 of july but we are almost in november.

Is there a way to update it ? Even manually, even my self ? Or it's not possible or complicated at this day ? Thanks in advance :)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Hazel nut:
[MENTION=1676283]EmryX[/MENTION] I would just wait for android pie release since its coming along nicely, this way the devs can iron out all the bugs and glitches on a system level. Rather then looking for fixes on an individual level, plus when trying to fix one feature you might brake another. So I would just be patient and wait.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Foxlum:
Maybe, instead of using the usb port, we could use the joycon rails to insert various user made/diy accessories. though you'll need to find out how to use them correctly for the accessory you want. Github user dekuNukum did do a reverse engineering of the switch, and from what I can see, you could create a camera module using a serial interface.

It seems impossible for me to install android on my switch. It prepare the sd card with Balena Etcher, then I install gapps and shieldifier from TWRP. Then when I start android I choose language, connect to the 5G WIFI and it starts looking for updates. After that I only get the "looking for updates" screen forever and can't do anything... I tried with 3 different legit and fast sd cards; one 128gb, one 64gb and one 32gb. I get exactly the same issue on the three of them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Try it again, it´s a bug sometimes and does happen on android devices from time to time.

Don´t know why but you can re-flash your sd card, then do NOT install gapps, boot into android, and THEN install gapps.

If you do it this way, you aren´t forced to run setup wizard and can do/try it again later in settings and can always exit if it doesn´t work.

Also maybe it works if you first set up the rom and wifi and stuff and later the google stuff.

Also check if you can access any site in web browser before you try to sign in to google and make sure your 5GHz wifi works because that can be an issue aswell - maybe 5ghz doesn´t work well.

thank you so much! is there a way to resize the android partition in windows though?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Anonymousu:
I used a 32GB card for LineageOS.

However, I encounter various problems:

- I cannot use the 32 GB image. Balena Etcher says that I only have 35MB too little on a fully formatted Micro SD card to flash this image.

- I finally opted for the 16GB image. After that was flashed, it turned out that only 1.85 GB on my 32 GB card could be used afterwards. I find that very strange.

- I could boot LineageOS, but I cannot complete the installation. When searching for updates (after setting up an internet connection), I always get the comment that Google Play is (still) not responding (anymore).

- If I try to complete the installation without connecting to the internet, I get the message that the entire OS is no longer working.

I have correctly followed the step-by-step plan of the installation. What could be the problem and what are possible solutions?

Out of nowhere i just got this system security popup

(SELinux is not enforcing, your security has been weakened) how to get rid of that?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
This is LineageOS "Trust" which is designed to increase security and privacy.

Selinux is a Linux security module

Usually, offical lineage builds are all selinux enforcing so you can use google pay, netflix and so on.

On many unoffical, experimental builds, selinux enforcing isn't working correct or disabled for some reason and "Trust" sees this as an error.

You can tap on the notification which should open the Trust "app" and disable notifications for selinux.

Or go to settings > security and location and search for "Trust"

Then scroll down and there's the option to disable the notification just as shown on my screenshot

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Nila-sama:
New updates:

"Next on our progress update list: Joy Cons now work both wired and wireless. The switch (haha get it?) when attaching or detaching is just as seamless as in HOS. Also the analog sticks will now actually be analog! The analog being analog thing is currently limited to wired mode.

This should in theory be fixed. We are now using a different wifi driver and so far it has been behaving very well.

All the recent improvements will be in a big update (likely to Android 9 Pie). We're on track for a Pie (9) release :)

How: You'll need to do a clean flash.

When: No ETA ;)"
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] The Black Swordsman:
Ahhhh... been waiting to hear about this update. I have the new hori split pad pro and it only works railed. That w/ true analog will make the switch perfect for PS4 remote play and Shadow PC. Super excited to a release of piE update. Great job to the devs pushing forward!

"Wired Mode" with joycons? What does that even mean? :confused:

I suspect it means the joycons can work over both Bluetooth & the rails/wired which also means the joycons should hopefully be able to be charged while in android.

Makes sure you don't use stock gapps arm64. Try full, mini, micro, nano, or pico arm64 and flash one of those instead. I would recommend you do a clean flash before as well, or atleast a reset in TWRP. Stock only works right on pure Android devices, such as a google pixel.

I was wondering if that “shield-ifier” would work on a Shield Tablet.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] jkcoxson:
The shield-ifier is supposed to make other devices look like an Nvidia Shield to the Google Play Store, so there wouldn't be a point because a shield can already download shield specific games from the Play Store.

By the way, it seems that this thread is dead, and no questions are getting answered. I would recommend asking them on the Discord because there are hundreds of people actively using it.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] drarbo1:
Yeah, I was thinking more specifically to fake as a Shield TV. I've noticed after the last few months that a few games from Nvidia Lightspeed Studio, that had previously worked on the tablet, have lost support on the tablet. Contrast, Half-Life, Doom 3, which the half life and Doom do work on my tablet. Contrast does not. And the play store shows them as incompatible though the description says it's compatible for the tablet. I think I'm just going to use steam link and play games on here, seeing as the tablet is losing support like that. Should really be no different that playing GeForce games. Thanks.
