Ok, something didn't work as supposed to.

I choose the 128 GB image for my 128 GB micro SD Card, I download the image, I burn it on the SD, I send Hekate 5.0 as payload, reboot into the payload, enter TWRP, select the partitions and... data can't be mounted.

Try to repair it but it can't be reapaired so I formatted as ext4, after that I could mount it, I install Open GAPPS nano, shieldfier, and reboot2payload. reboot and... nothing happens.

If I don't format the data partition and try to install OGAPPS it cancel the install with an error.

So... suggestions???

I got this going yesterday... seems to work great! I have two issues running Cyberpunk 2077 over Stadia Pro though:

1. Audio output is choppy through built-in speakers, over 1/4" jack headphones, and bluetooth paired headphones.

2. In docked mode, joycons and pro controller suffer from MAJOR lag. Undocked = no input lag. Also the screen stays on the entire time. Dunno if that's normal.

Followed the instructions on the 1st post, and in addition have Magisk and Xposed Framework with Xtadia module loaded.

Did I miss anything? If this is just how it is though I'm pretty pleased as is.

Update:

#1: Going to Stadia's settings and choosing 720p streaming vs 1080p streaming solved the choppy audio issue.

#2: The Switch's dock port is HDMI 1.4, or max 4k/30fps output. Android runs natively at 60fps, hence the noticable lag.

I need help, So okay when I do this step, I click "more config " then click on the android logo while holding the vol up . it stays in a black screen. I don't know what im missing or doing switch 11.0.0 and hekate 5.5.1. I've followed all the steps but still stays black after multiple time
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] halopend:
First launch is supposed to go into TWRP. I think you need to go to tools>partitions>flash android (I'm doing the from memory, but its at the bottom of the partitions page) the first time from within hekate.

You'll still need to hold volume up.

This should "flash" twrp to the android partition. In the future, you can launch twrp using the method you described which I assume was written for beta testers updating their builds.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Zeqku:
Ill give it a try, but what I meant is when I did all the steps and when I try to load it and boot it , it won't boot, I get to hekate menu then I see click on more config and then click on the android, when I do I hold the vol up and from there it loads up hekate loader and then it stays black, TWRP don't even boot up just goes straight black, I've waited 5, 10 ,30 min nothing

Been having issues with wifi dropping intermittently for small periods of time, still a beginner to switch cfw and lineage and cannot find a solution to this. Normally wouldn't be a major problem however I use it for my 4k Kodi streams as my laptop CPU is not powerful enough(at 2300$ what seems like yesterday...) But the switch can play 4k and HEVC, etc. Is anyone else using Kodi on switchroot lineage successfully without stream playback stopping every 10-30 mins?

So I see that Hekate was updated about 6 hours ago and now supports Mariko? Is this significant for running this Android build on Mariko or no 👀
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] evil_santa:
No it's impossible atm it's other hardware.

Android/Linux will only work when Hekatf is released and coreboot dies.

This is total nonsense, make sure you are using Hekate 5.3.4, the Update.bin is available in Hekate and Advanced reboot is activated in the Android developer options.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] H4X0R46:
The new Hekate that just dropped today claims Mariko support, as for it being other hardware, I can see that. The V2 is a different SoC. Damn, false alarm then. Thank you!

I am having an issue where Android on the Switch is unable to connect to the internet (connects to WiFi network just fine, just note "Connected, no internet"). Yes, I've done the troubleshooting, and I'm feeling that at this point I'm going to have to start over from scratch. Sequence of events:

- I got it running just fine on Android, enjoying Stadia on the switch.

- I swapped SD cards to run Horizon OS/normal switch to play Switch games.

- I swapped SD card back to Android SD card, injected Hekate, and ran the Android config.

- Android runs, and connects to WiFi, but will not connect to the internet.

All things I tried:

- Power cycling router and modem

- Swapping router and modem

- Forgetting network and re-adding it

- Joining guest network to see if it behaved different, it did not

- Static IP address assignment

- Rebooting Android

- Resetting all network settings and joining WiFi network

- Added MAC address of Android Switch to MAC address whitelist

It feels fairly tied to the Android OS, as all other devices in the home run fine (connect to WiFi and have internet access).

While I don't mind wiping the SD card and starting from scratch, I am not going to do this every time I want to boot up Android. Is there something I'm missing that's causing me to get in this state?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] johntaylorproj:
As I suspected, starting from scratch solved the issue. I'd just hate to have to do that every time I want to switch between Horizon and Android. Has anyone else seen this happen and could solve for it?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] evil_santa:
Wait for Android Q.

Or search the internet for an unofficial build.

I was experiencing the same issue, are you perhaps using an (always-on) VPN as I am? Yesterday/this morning the Wifi was working without an issue with the VPN, but then one sudden reboot I always ended up with "Wifi Connected, no internet".

After a bit of research I found out that VPN in Android 8.1 still was a bit buggy, so I

- Went into: Settings => Network & Internet => VPN => Cogwheel @ your VPN => Disable the Always-on VPN

- Killed my VPN app, waited a few seconds, Wifi connection turned back on!

- Re-enabled the Always-on VPN and started the VPN app again, still connected to wifi

- Rebooted and went trough the process a 2nd time and it appears to be the fix for VPN issues :)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Rikj000:
I have everything set up and working as I want it to but (besides the known bugs) one big issue still remains.

I receive zero input trough my Joy-Cons even though they both are connected.

via Bluetooth.

I described all I tried in order to fix them below, hope that I'm not the only one who has this and maybe that someone know a way to fix this?

-I paired both of them using the pair buttons on the side of the Joy-Cons

-I flashed the fix-joycons.zip with System mounted in TWRP multiple times

-I checked for input with 'Gamepad Tester' but it registered no button pressed, although I did see the joycons under the connected devices section of the app

-I tried the 'Joy-Con Enabler' app but that didn't help me either

-I tried remapping the keys with 'Key Mapper' but it doesn't register the button press so that didn't help either

-I checked in '/system/usr/keylayout' and the 'Vendor_057e_Product_200(6/7/9)_Version_0001.kl' files are there with 644 as the permissions

-I also installed the '1controller' Magisk module and the 'DS4Adapter' EdXposed module (but those aren't for joy-cons but maybe worth mentioning)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Zeqku:
Don’t know if I could get an answer to this but it worth a try , so everything works perfectly beside the games I tried to use controller mode but it don’t let me , I don’t know if there’s a way around this to use the joy con but I’ve searched everywhere.

For example: COD mobile I can’t use the Joycon because it’s not a “controller” , I use Brawlhalla and it works perfect controller and everything works .

Second question is can I remove the NVIDIA shield once zipped ? Or no

Third question is , can I remap them controller? I’ve used apps but it don’t do anything 🤷🏽‍♂️ Just trying to flip the lettering 🤷🏽‍♂️
