I believe everyone should have a basic understanding of using a CFW/Modded switch in the first place before jumping into this. You wouldn't want random people just buying any Switch Console and assume it'll flat out work. Great job to the devs and there hard work.

There's a great forum over on gbatemp on finding an unpatched switch and the community is good if anyone is looking.

For your L3 and R3 use the joystick patch and install via TWRP. Got mine to work.

First off, amazing work, been running this perfectly fine for the past 2 days.

I do have an issue i can't figure out how to fix, if someone could help that would be fantastic!

Anyways; I have been playing GTA SA with a PS4 controller since i first installed android. I noticed i didn't install the Joy con fix file, so i went back and installed it. when booting back into android GTA SA gets to the loading screen, gets about 80% then the music stops for about 2 seconds and then it crashes and exits.

I have tried clearing RAM, clearing app data, clearing cache, rebooting device and reinstalling the game with no resolution.

This was running perfect until i installed the joy con fix, any help would be greatly appreciated. and thank you very much for the awesome work!!!!

Wifi seem to just cut itself off

My wifi seem to stop working after using it for a while in the Linage OS, it seem to be related to the "SystemProcess isnt responding" issue. which at the initial launch of the OS, I just told it to close itself and restart. but mid usage, I think it crashed again but it doesnt prompt to restart the SystemProcess

Edit: it would great if someone can help me get my joy con to work on non-compatible xbox controller apps (like touch emulator) or sth? So that a button press corresponds to a touch on the screen.

so i've been trying to use 1 64gb sd card to use for nintendo games and android. To achieve this i tried to flash the 16gb version of android and than move the partitions and resize hos_data partition, no luck. I also tried to create a new .img with tall the .img from 16gb version with a modified hos_data partition size, no luck.

I tried to use gparted, linux, to move and resize the partitions. It always gives me a warning the im not using all the blocks available in the gpt partition and if i dont click in 'Fix', i cant move or resize anything. I think its the 'Fix' that makes the sd card non bootable. Another issue i think is that partitions boot, recovery and dtb do not support lossless resize operations.

How can i create an .img to flash like the provided ones? is it possible to resize hos_data partition lets say to 47gb? Any ideas on this?

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SJ33:
Just to report, Half-Life 2 doesn't recognise the L2 and R2 JoyCon buttons even after applying the JoyCon fix. I suppose this is because the game expects actual analogue triggers so doesn't accept the flat values given by the digital buttons. The controls can be remapped, but losing two buttons does make remapping a challenge.

The analogue sticks also only function as digital, but this is known.

u can use windows disk management to delete all the partition and create a new 1, or u can use any partitioning software u like. Or u can just format the sd card inside the NS....
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] GabyPCgeeK:
hekate uses MBR and the android images use GPT with protective MBR. When modifying the partitions in gparted it damages the protective MBR in the GPT. You need to use gdisk to regenerate the hybrid MBR (the fat32 first as an 0xEE partition and then the autogenerated "EFI partition" that starts at sector 1).

That's how I was able to extend the ext4 "userdata" partition to use the remaining storage in a 200GB card.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] xxcrashxx:
I haven't been able to get a wiimote to sync with this yet.

Nope, There isn't anything that Nintendo can do to stop us from doing this. The whole thing that allows us to do this is because of a hardware exploit. There's nothing that can do to patch a hardware exploit through software updates. Plus since this boots through it's own bootloader and doesn't use the Horizon bootloader, it doesn't connect to Nintendo's servers through Android and doesn't allow access to the emmc so no logs can be written to it, so there isn't any way of them detecting this mod being done.

How did you manage to get it to fully pass the security checks? Mine fails the ctsprofile.

Use any partition manager to delete the partitions on it and create a new partition. You can use diskpart in the command prompt through windows, or you can also use the disk management utility that's built into windows. There's plenty of guides on the internet that will guide you through how to use these.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] AjaySp:
So thanks for the suggestion i did use the dak manager to format it but when i insert the memory card in switch it says not enough space and i still have a 1 mb partition for Sdxc
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] xxcrashxx:
Ok, so I just checked out my sd card in disk management and it doesn't provide the options to delete the partitions. diskpart through command prompt should allow you to delete the partitions on the sd card, but you need to be careful and make absolutely sure you select the microsd card and not any other hard drive. You can also look into other partitions managers too. I used to use easeus partition manager back in the day and it was pretty easy to use.

You will need to delete both partitions on the drive first, then create a new partition using the whole card, then format.

Great work on the port! it feels great to use. But I have 2 issues that I haven't read yet so I'll say them here:

- Downloading large things from google play is basically impossible, it starts alright on my 5GHz access point but after ~100-200MB it slows down to basically nothing and I have to disable and enable wifi to get it to resume. My non-5GHz access point maxes out at 300KB/s (from the same router) and has the same stopping problem.

The same access points work fine from other Wi-Fi enabled devices.

- when docking my switch it doesn't display the image correctly, i can see part of the screen, so it is connected but the right side of the screen is wrong with weird lines over it. Maybe it's because it's a 1440p display? Shouldn't it tell the display to upscale from 1080p?

Out of interest, is there any way we can keep up to date with how the devs are progressing on fixing assorted bugs in between releases? As Android is open source I guess there's something online which shows a list of issues to be fixed, what has been fixed and when?

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

I've not yet tried docking mine but from reading this thread and other reports some people do seem to have issues with the display when docked; these issues manifest themselves in different ways depending on the TV/monitor that's being used. I'm sure such issues will be fixed in the near future as the devs are really on the ball, despite the expected bugs this Beta release is extremely impressive.

I hope I'm not being dense..

I've had a hacked switch since the exploits came out, and for the life of me, I can't seem to get TWRP, or Android sans GApps for that matter, to boot at all. I've tried 2 different SD cards, I've tried the 32gb, 64gb and 128gb images, and I've tried multiple different machines to flash the SD cards but still nothing. I have a 128gb Samsung Evo U3, and a 128gb Sandisk Ultra U1, and both fail to boot at all.

The closest I've gotten was booting into TWRP on my first time, trying to flash Gapps and then it black screened. After that, holding Vol + does nothing at all, and occasionally will put the Switch back into RCM mode.

Am I going crazy? Is there a step in the install process that I'm missing?

First, you need to pass safetynet. Check below.

With the magisk module called "Magisk Hide Props Config" using Google Pixel C's fingerprint and also using device simulation option.

Had to workaround this cause you can't authorize adb access without usb connection (Secure ADB).

To authorize your pc with your switch:

1. Make a file called adb_keys

2. Go to "%USERPROFILE%/.android", open adbkey.pub with Notepad copy all of the file's content

3. Open adb_keys file with Notepad paste the content there and save it (not as txt)

4. Transfer the adb_keys file to the switch

5. Using a file explorer with root access transfer the adb_keys file to /data/misc/adb/

6. Reboot

Press back and do the procedure again.

It is your sd card. I got that too cause my sdcard was slow,used a better one instead and there's huge loading perfomance improvement.

Open NVIDIA Games app, open the side panel through the hamburger icon, go to "settings", then select "about" and then select "check for updates" it will then redirect you to the play store where it will give you the option to update it.
