Langer hans It is working great for me, thank you so much for releasing this earlier.

To the rest of you this is the first release okay? Read the first post and if there is something you do not like do not use it until they fix it, dont do obvious request and please do not ask things about how to use hekate in here, you can search a lot of guides on youtube/Gbatemp and once you get that working come back here.

If you do not think android is useful or you do not like it we do not care, do not make an account just to say that.

Hello guys, is there a kernel that's OC or anything that I can do to enhance the performance of my switch running Android?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Android already has OC.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] droidjunky90:
Thanks dear, so you meant to say that the stock kernel on switch running Android is already OC?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Not by default.

LineageOS comes with power profiles.

In the case of the Nintendo Switch, those will overclock or underclock the CPU and GPU.

Max. Performance means 1700Mhz for cpu and idk something around 900mhz for gpu, a bit higher than what it would be in docked mode in horizon OS.

I always had max performance enabled since the CPU scales itself to whatever is needed.

And while not docked, there's absolutely no thermal issue (SoC temp around 40 degree celsius after 3dmark) but in dock i wouldn't overclock it at all (bad airflow)

Pie builds are at max. clock speed by default atm but can be tweaked with kernel tweaker like Kernel Adiutor or Ex Kernel Manager.

Search the thread, you can overclock the CPU to some where around 2ghz. The CPU can actually be pushed to about 2.3ghz and the GPU can go to about 1.2ghz

I looked it up they are talking about Tasker and XML file apparently the XML file is no where to be found :(
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
It's still gets handled as "build it yourself" and the last build i was doing has still a few issues.

For example, wifi still doesn't work in combination with deepsleep, the new implemented HWComposer has some issues and needs a few fixes and the CPU driver is a bit buggy, many 3d games will lag due to cpu not scaling right.

Video playback is also affected by this.

Watching 720p60 videos is fine if you set the min core clock high enough so it can't go too low anymore.

On the other hand many improvements has been made so far.

Joycons now work perfectly attached and will still work after waking up the device but the analog sticks need a small deadzone since they're too sensitive.

An official release isn't far away but definitely needs quite some time to fix the last issues.

For more information and "how to build" join their discord server it's absolutely worth it

Since Android runs entirely on the SD card, can you move the Android SD card between different switch consoles? I looked around but couldn't find any info or real world data supporting this theory.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] multiwirth:
Yes this will actually work.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] George35000vr:
Tasker detects if the apps you setup for perfomance mode are opened and it runs some commands to change the governor to Perfomance (Which makes the cpu run at max frequency at all times) as well as overclock to 2GHz (from 1.8GHz). Once you close the app it reverts back to the default cpu settings.

I followed these steps to transfer my PC's public ADB key onto my Switch and placed it in /data/misc/adb/adb_keys, then rebooted the switch.

Connecting to the device worked (adb connect [my ip] on windows), but when I proceeded to any other ADB command (push/pull/shell), I got the following:

error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

This was weird since I can successfully open an ADB shell to my phone.

I found a suggestion to delete and recreate my ADB keys on the PC, which I did (then transferred the pub key to the Switch again), but that didn't change anything.

Finally I noticed that the solution in the StackOverflow post also mentioned the permissions on their adb_keys file were 766. Mine were 440 with the owner set to u0_a87. I changed it to 766 (-rwxrw-rw-) and chown to system, rebooted, and finally it worked.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

Is there a proper way to shut down? The power button has never worked within LineageOS for me on multiple reformats.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Count_NOOBula:
Force shutdown of the switch is perfectly OK coz Android isn't like Windows which requires a "proper" shutdown.

To force shutdown, just tap and hold the power button for a few seconds. You'll get the hang of it after a few tries. To confirm the switch was indeed shutdown, just tap the power button once while the screen is off and the system should boot into Horizon. You can then shutdown from within the Switch's own OS. After a few tries, you'll learn how long you need to hold the power button for the force shutdown to occur (just a few seconds).

My advice for those familiar with root/xposd whose power buttons aren't responsive: use one of many free POWER OFF playstore applications (root required) or a screen edge gesture application (may require root or xposd -- I use Xposed Edge) that allows you to just double tap/hold an edge of the screen to get the same power menu that pops up when you normally hold the power button in android.

If you haven't rooted your Switchroot yet, now worries: just download Magisk and you'll be off to the races in minutes. Frankly, the fastest way to safely turn off your swithroot without root or xposd is to tap and hold the power button so the Switch forces itself to shutdown independent of Android. Your power button may not be responsive in this buggy Android 8 release, but it obviously works ..so just let Switch's hardware force the shutdown for you.

Hope this helps.
