Do not use the latest hekate, use version 5.0.1, this works, tested on two SanDisk Micro SD's - 64Gb Extreme (nice speed) and 64Gb Ultra (you can see the speed difference but still ok).

It seems to fail when injecting hekate 5.1.1

Hey all. Been trying to get this running on my switch for awhile now. Everything goes smoothly until Android device setup.

I connect to internet, link my Google account, but I am unable to get past voice assistant set up.

If I hit "no thanks" it loops until I hit "I agree". If I hit "I agree" it will bring to a page that says "please wait..." And will hang there. I have yet to get past this screen. I have rebooted around 10 times and it hangs at the same spot each time. Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Thanks!

New Nvidia GeForce Now App

Sorry if this has been brought up, but I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the new GeForce Now app to work on the switch. Currently I have my switch on android and have the original Nvidia Shield TV app on it. With the release of the GeForce Now app, the Shield TV app only allows for 1 hour of playtime if you are using their servers. Gamestream is still unlimited. The Shield app says to install the GeForce Now app to get unlimited streaming. The issue is that it won't install. I have tried from the play store and a downloaded apk and both will almost complete, but always fail in the end. My theory is that both Shield TV and GeForce Now can't be on the same system. I would guess that the GeForce Now app is setup to uninstall/replace Shield TV. But since Shield TV is setup as an system app, it can't be uninstalled, only degraded. Has anyone found a workaround to this?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
The app simply wasn´t meant by nvidia to run on anything else than their Shield devices and even on my Nvidia Shield Tablet running LineageOS it is hard to get GeForce Now to work since first, there are libs and Permissions missing in the System (OS) and second, the app detects the device as "something else" and not the genuine Shield device since it´s running a custom ROM.

For the switch, it´s almost the same and the reason why even GeForce streaming works somehow is caused by some smart devs porting the neccessary stuff from a Shield stock rom coupled with some hacks.

So in order to get GeForce TV or GeForce Now to work needs the neccessary patches to be ported first.

Anyways i think about GeForce Now it should already work but you have to flash the provided zip on the first page of this thread to get it working (simply downloading a apk won´t work).

I didn´t try it on my own since i don´t use those services but it should work in most cases.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Saberfink:
Hey multiwirth,

Thanks for the reply. If you are talking about flashing the shieldify .zip, I already have done that, which is the reason the Shield TV app works and is installed on my switch at all. Also, the new GeForce Now app is meant to be run on other devices. NVidia just recently (I think in January) release the app and service from beta for mass use on multiple devices. I have it on my Asus zenphone 6 which I downloaded from the play store. I also have it on my pixelbook, but for that I had to download it from a 3rd party, because the play store doesn't see the pixelbook as an approved device. On the switch, I can download the app from the play store, which mean that it sees the switch as a compatible device. After the download it tries to install, but always fails. That's why I attempted to download it through a 3rd party site. This had the same results though. Like I said, I believe that the issue might be that the Shield TV app can't be on the device with the GeForice now app since it's meant to replace it. Since the Shield app was installed as part of the shieldify zip flash, it appears as a system app and can't be removed. Is there a way to remove a app installed through flashing? Thanks again for the response. Any help is appreciated.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Oh yes i got the issue:

I guess the currently installed app is a modified apk and due to this an official update will fail due to apk mismatching signatures which will ofc not happen on official shield devices (with stock rom) so yes there is a way to uninstall system apps but it needs your android enviroment to be rooted.

Since your switch is already running twrp and a custom ROM, this is very easy.

You can choose between the official LineageOS root addon and Magisk.

The LineageOS addon may or may not work since it makes troubles on highly customized Lineage builds sometimes so i would flash Magisk instead.

You can download Magisk here .

Just flash it through twrp as usual and then you can use a root file explorer like FX File explorer or Total Commander.

They should come with an app manager which will uninstall the apk´s from the system for you and clean it up.

After that you should be able to download the app via play store.

Good luck ;)

Use an older Hekate version. 5.0.0 works for me.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
It should work just fine.

Did you flash the right opengapps package?

You need arm64 > 8.1 and then i recommend the nano version which includes all google features but doesn´t bloat the device.

If that doesn´t help, reboot, double check your wifi connection and as last step you may skip the google login and add you google account later in settings after making sure your internet connection works properly (try google.com in browser).

It's installed in the SD card right? So my main Switch Nintendo experience won't be disturbed right? Any trouble with Nintendo finding out you did this, and could result in a console ban like a modded cfw Switch? Just wondering, very new to this.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Well nintendo can't find out what you're doing since NO nintendo code is running at all.

You inject this payload at the very beginning before the console has loaded anything and the payload also only boots android so if nintendo was able to know, I'd like how this was possible since it seems impossible to me.

And yeah android runs off an sdcard and when removing it, your switch is back to 100% stock.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Rei7:
Yeah this is what I thought, but I just need a confirmation. Not planning to get a 2nd Switch just for this, but now that it's confirmed, I'm definitely going to do it on my day 1 launch Switch.

Another question, it has to be on a different sdcard? Not the one used for the regular Switch I use for Nintendo games?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
After flashing your sdcard you only have a 2gb fat32 partition left which can be seen from horizon os.

There is a way like flashing the 32gb image to a 64gb sdcard and re partition it in linux so you have a 33gb fat32 partition instead of 2 but it's a bit more complex todo and i just got a whole new sdcard before messing around with it.

Just make sure you get the fastest one you can find.

For oreo samsung evo cards are still the best choice as they're known to be compatible and performing excellent.

For the past couple of weeks I've been reinstalling Android several times because when I mess up with other stuff like Atmosphere I just straight up wipe my card and start from scratch. I normally use the 16gb version of LineageOS. Yesterday I used a 32gb version and made my Android user partition to be 50gb. After it was all said and done, I did not get the Google apps close or wait error that happens once after you start up. How come? Is it because I used the 32gb one instead?

Not really an update.

Some people (including myself) started to build their own pie builds from sources avaiable from the devs for a "current state" preview build so they also gave those people a new role and a new channel on the server to make bug reports and testing easier.

[i have a 32gb sd card i flashed with the 16gb version however i only have 2gb for switch. windows classes it as 2gb protected partition and 27gb unformated?]

ignore me im stupid didnt remember the last time i tried this
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Yes everything you do affects only the sdcard.

Android is running like in a sandbox.

While the sandbox is your sdcard.

It can't even see the internal emmc.

only hekate has access to the emmc which acts as bootloader for android.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Did you mount /system and /vendor before flashing opengapps.

For some weird reason you have to mount them manually on the switch (wouldn't be required on a android phone).

Hi, I am hoping someone on here might be able to assist with a quick question.

I've gone down an easy route to get android working on my switch and basically copied over an already partitioned SD card image containing both switch root and sx os that someone was kind enough to upload to the sx os forums. So now I have Android that I can boot into which works great but also sx os which I haven't used for anything other to inject hekate and then switch root. I've now got a lot of free space on my SD card (128gb), so what I want to know is if I create an emunand using sx os, will this create the emunand files correctly and not format, or interfere with, the android partitioned part of the sd card? Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
When I set up emunand, it was needed to format the sdcard and re-partition it (done by the script)

I´m not an expert since i don´t really use cfw and emunand but hekate has an option to create emunand to a file on a fat32 partition so if you could get your unused space formated, you could use it this way but it might be slow.

Otherwise you may use just another sdcard for this.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SlimShandy:
Thanks for the reply. I thought that might be the case. Prob easiest just to use another SD card

Sorry. I actually didn't use this method to set my resolution to 720p. I'd already successfully done so with the app Easy DPI Changer by the time I became aware of the editing method.

The person who shared that method did share his own file a few posts after the one you quoted which might be what you're asking from me:

Try contacting that person for help if you need it. He shared this link when someone asked for his .img, but as stated above, you shouldn't use it if you don't know what you're doing.

I still recommend an app, like Easy DPI Changer, for normies (like myself). It's been updated since my last post and is far more stable than before. Just put in 720 and 1280 in two of the fields within the app and you're done. Simple.

Regarding your Dolphin question, the only thing that helped me was going into Dolphin controller settings and manually remapping every button including the analog sticks. Of course analog sticks will work as a digital dpads due a bug in this build that will be fixed in Pie, but you probably already knew that.
