First things first, I would like to congratulate Switchroot for the awesome work on their integration of Android 10 on NSw. I was waiting for it for ages and the wait paid off well; LineageOS 17.1 is a gargantuan update over 15.1. Everything works faster, better and most of the Oreo's issues are gone.

Secondly, because I am a streaming-nerd (this is the main reason I need android on my console) I would like to make two recommendations to make your life easier, if you are into streaming as much as I am:

Forget the official Playstation remote play app. It is very probable that the Magisk will break your android at some point, I know I had to restore my android image because of Magisk. Prefer paid third-party apps, I use repl4y and it works like a charm, either locally or over the internet.

One of my greatest irritations with Xbox app is the black bars around the streaming area even though the NSw's display is 16:9 ratio. I searched everywhere for a solution to this abomination, since it also presents itself in my Razer Phone 2, but it was in vain, no one had a solution (I tried androidcentral, MS, Xbox support, even Razer forums). I finally found a workaround, so if you would love to stream over your Xbox Series X|S from edge-to-edge on Switch's screen all you have to do is turn on gesture navigation (Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Gestures -> System Navigation -> Gesture Navigation) and you can thank me later. :)

Lastly, some problem I have met, if someone has found a solution:

I think that my console's battery drains way too fast on sleep. It cannot last more than one and a half days. Today I charged it at 100% and put it on sleep, three hours later it was at 90%. Is that normal? Some people speak of 10-day life on sleep, I did not encounter such battery life. Is there something I can do?

I cannot transfer files from my Windows 10 PC over my Switch via USB. The console does not show under my computer in windows explorer as any other android device would. Any ideas?

Is the tablet zip corrupt? I'm using a clean SD card (TV zip works fine), but can't install the Tablet zip since the installer will report "Invalid zip file format!".

icosa-tablet-20210205-rel.zip btw.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] GeorgeManim:
Thank you. I also have an xbox one gamepad, but main purpose is handheld gaming!

If you succeed you can post some instructions, they'll be extra useful. :)

I agree on everything. I've also paid for repl4y and it's so good. I can even steam out of home after making some port forwarding.

About your second question:

Yes, just make a share on your computer and access it via wifi and a file manager app like cx explorer.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] klinux:
First thx for the tips, I confirm that magisk broke the build after some use (I tried dolby true hd and everything was a mess even when I remove it), for immersive mode I was using systemui tuner to do that + 3rd party nav bar.

Chiaki is performing well aside the d-pad not working for joycons.

for xbox streaming see my previous posts atv build is performing very well with xcloud 2007 version (newer ones are not ok) and the last Xbox game pass beta apk.

About the sleep mode I have the same issue and my workaround is to switch to atmosphere when I don't use it cause it took 2 min and 2% of battery.

Re to connecting to win when you plug it slide down and u will see on hidden notifications usb mode change it to usb transfer mode and you are good to go.

Hello, I am no expert but I have got my Switch setup to run Atmosphere and Switchroot of a single SD.

Basically, when I turn on my Switch, I RCM and boot into the Hekate bootloader and from there I have three options:

Atmosphere CFW

Android

I bought my Unpatched Switch second hand and it was already banned from Nintendo eShop

I haven't worried about keeping my Switch clean so it wont be detected and banned

I use a 1TB MicroSD and allocated 250GB to Android

We need to format our SDs as FAT32 - the only method that worked for me was the Free version of EaseUS Partition Master

I also reset my Switch to factory (just in case "a clean canvas")

I followed the installation steps on Page 1

When flashing I simply queued up all 4 Flash files in one go (Switchroot rom first plus 3 apps) and reboot

Once I made sure Android is running fine, I followed the instructions for Atmopshere here:

Atmosphere installation with sigpatches

birbchirp.gitbook.io

Once that's done I edited the hekate_ipl.ini file on the Switch by adding these entries:

[Android]

payload=switchroot/android/coreboot.rom

icon=bootloader/res/Android.bmp

{}

[Atmosphere CFW]

payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin

icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp

{}

That way when I go to Launch I have 2 options:

Android

Atmosphere CFW

Hope this helps some

At this point, if you can get away with enabling battery saver, it should be less than 1% per hour of standby.

It's even better if you turn Wifi off when you're not using it.

Before the little squiggle, wifi off. After, wifi on. Slightly sharper decrease, but still less than 1% per hour.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ponyboy82:
You got a few replies already but just wanted to mention what I did. I had first setup atmosphere then installed atmosphere + android on a second "identical" sd card (you can just make a copy of your current one as you go). In hekate, you can partition the sd card as needed. There is a handy slider bar to do so, but make sure that you put the "full" 29gb to emmc and however much space you want for the android partition (i used 32gb). The initial partition table just shows 0gb to everything. When you partition it will erase all your data so you will need to recopy stuff if there is anything you want to keep. If you're starting fresh I think you would do this step after installing hekate but before installing atmostphere the first time. You should then be able to continue with the atmosphere and android installs normally.

At the end, go into the developer options for android and enable advanced restart options. This should enable an option to reboot into bootloader (ie hekate) so you can switch between the two easily.

I think XCLOUD and Local Xbox Streaming are the worst of streaming services I've tried. I just don't get why folks are digging it. I've had issues across Samsung Tab S7+, S20, and many other devices through the years. I have an XSX and was hoping finally streaming would be crystal clear with my hard-wired Xbox. No dice. ON the other hand, PS4 Remote Play through the Android App PSPLAY is working flawless at 720P/60 (only have a PS4 Slim) - with only minor hiccups here and there. Quality of the stream itself is pretty good with minimal artifacting - very clean IQ. Moonlight by far is the best streaming I have ever used without peer though - I can get 1080P/60 at 20Mbps on my Switch Running A10 Tablet build - and it's largely almost as stable as my hard-wired Intel NUC PC that I often use to access my desktop computer. Everything is hardwired except for client in all cases.

I am also using a TP-Link OMADA Wireless Access Point hardwired to my LAN to provide wireless access only for gaming clients as well, with direct line of site usually when I stream. So I have what I would consider a pretty darn optimal setup for streaming from a console - so go figure why on earth, of all the devices I stream from (PS4, PC, and Xbox Series X) that Xbox remains the WORST for consistency and image quality of these 3?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] usafballer:
I had no issue just creating a multi-boot install as well using Hekate 5.5.4. I started over though - not sure you can turn an existing A10 install into a multi-boot.

I got a 400GB SD Card, used Hekate to partition Android at 60GB, emmunand at 29GB, and the rest as just accessible to storage (280gb I think?). I probably should have created a Linux partition too in case I wanted to try that in the future - oh well. I installed A10 first after the partition process (so I only loaded files necessary for that install). Once installed, I removed SD Card and copied over all the Atmosphere and NRO files for CFW - went into hekate and created EMMUnand. I also copied back the Nintendo folder as well, under emmuc/raw 1.

I also turned on AutoRCM as well. You have to make sure you don't remove Android boot files from the SD card though when you copy over Atmosphere CFW and any other files. Now when I boot it auto's into Hekate (unless coming from cold boot or stock firmware) without even using an injector - can easily go into stock, CFW and Android on the fly. Really straightforward now.

I'm new to modding my Switch, so it's incredible, but I use Android for Moonlight/PSPlay, and PSP Roms (some dolphin stuff, but it doesn't work as well). Then use CFW most of the other times and have some 60FPS mods for games. Need to solve installing my Game carts so I can put a few more titles on there and never do the swapparoo again! Pretty amazing setup.

Thanks for the tip, I confirm that I got a much better battery life with battery saver.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] klinux:
I totally agree, but I confirm that I got almost perfect streaming with only Xbox one s (I'm still trying to get an XSX) through the following:

-Android tv build

-Xbox game streaming preview ver 2007 https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/micro...ing-preview-1-12-2007-2001-22b177646-release/

-Be sure to restart the Xbox when the streaming got crazy

-Stop the streaming from the console itself not from xcloud app

-Close the game before you stop the streaming.

I know it's not straight forward but with these steps I reach my goal.

For xcloud I am just using the last app on atv build and it's fine.

I hope this will help those who wants to stream their xbox on the switch.

I'm going to have to try this. Do you know if there is an easy way to turn off wifi while the device is sleeping or locked? Maybe I can poke around with Tasker
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] nukapool:
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the rail connection on the switch android 10 build so that the joycons can only connect to the switch via bluetooth, similar to how it was on android 8. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, however I wanted to try something between my pc and the switch version of android.

Right now I have installed an app called superdisplay on the switch tablet build which allows me to turn the switch into another monitor for my pc. I wanted this so that I could play wii u games on cemu while having the gamepad display on the switch's display and control the games using my joycons via a bluetooth connection to my pc. My joycons are connected to my pc via bluetooth, however whenever I slot them into the switch they disconnect from the pc's bluetooth connection and only function on the switch.

Is there a way to disable this feature in the settings or do I need to do something more complex to do this. Any help would be appreciated!
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ggswitch:
1.a problem fhere. that bluetooth seems to have a 20ms delay?and docked mode still have a 20ms delay

3.is there a way to map joycon to control switch for all the functions?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] rrwholloway:
Can the joycons be used by two players?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ponyboy82:
Could you just use one of the PC remote play options (moonlight, steam link, etc)? You should be able to startup Cemu remotely and it would just stream the whole desktop to the Switch.

Is there anything I have to do with Switchroot if I'm getting new JoyCons?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] KaCTePoK:
You need to repeat steps 6-8 of the installation instructions from the first post, if it does not help then steps 6-21. Good luck!
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SkyDX:
So I potentially have to reinstall Android? What would I miss if I don't? Aslong as the Joycons work when attached I'm good, I don't need wireless.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] KaCTePoK:
You will have to reinstall if the option with steps 6-8 does not work

The main thing is that the joycons are connected to the switch in the normal mode (step 6), then steps 7 and 8, everything is as in the instructions.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] SkyDX:
Alright I guess I'll see what happens then :/

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] beansta2k7:
This is actually been brilliant to use. Have been using all sorts with it, apps, games such as CoD Mobile, emulators such as Mupen64Plus-Next and DraStic, all have been great.

I do however have reason to believe that the USB-PD driver is non-functioning. I cant seem to find a single charger that will charge the switch faster than 450mAh (and that was the switch when plugged into the dock). i have several 65w PD chargers and a 100w PD terminal yet the switch registers a charging capacity of 30mAh (YES, 30), yet that same power source charges my GPD Win Max from flat to full in about an hour.

It needs to be looked into as for me that is the single hinderance of using this OS, everything else has been great
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] twelfth:
I think he's figuring you have to clone the JoyCon MAC addresses before you can use them. All it does is save you the trouble of paring them from within Android.

I was able to swap joycons (from stock grey to my purple/orange ones) from within Android without having to do anything else. The new ones worked as soon as they were clicked in.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] xellspooun:
Is it possible to lower the clocks and thus the fan's speed of my console? Even with a third party app?

I mostly use my android Switch for streaming, which does not require a lot of power, however the fans seem to work constantly for some reason even though I have energy saver on, which is quite irritating and forces me to play with headphones on.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] hicwic:
it works great for me, on geforce now, moonlight and parsec (i use the gesture full screen mode on it to avoid black bar)

only issue i found for now, but maybe i missed something, L2 and R2 doesn't work on pro controller. No problem on joycons.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] beansta2k7:
Ignore this above - USB PD is working, however that means there is another more pressing issue. The tablet is draining the battery at some 1200mAh (giving me around 3 1/2 hours battery usage - WHEN IDLE), no matter what I try and do it doesn't seem to drop at all. That doesn't sound right to me at all, also sleep doesn't seem to work so well either, barely lasting a day (I mean, its a huge improvement over 3 1/2 hours but still). Could it be that the LCD is just a battery hog? or is there something behind the scenes at work here.

(just a small note before anyone asks; Yes i have flashed all the files that are supposed to have been flashed.)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] AndroidMob:
Yeah, I'm wondering about that myself. I wanted to play 3DS games on Citra, Switch being my lower screen (via Spacedesk). The joycons need to be connected to the PC tho, and I cannot do that with them being in the rails.

I'm not getting full range of the joysticks either with the joy cons or hori split pad pro. Looking at the gamepad tester app, the joysticks are giving a square output when moved in circles at full physical position.

Essentially, diagonals have full range while straight left, right, up or down truncate to full reading before reaching full physical position.

I've managed to root, install Magisk, fix the SafetyNet and install an app that fakes GPS location. I've even installed Pokémon GO through a downloaded apk despite Play Store telling me my device is incompatible. It runs great, I'm able to play with fake location...

Except the GPS Joystick app insists I turn on location in the settings. It is turned on, but the app for some reason doesn't realize it. Is there any way I can fool it into launching the fake location regardless?

I'm using the Android TV version of this rom, In windows my switch would show up as a device but with no storage locations, to solve this I had to enable developer options (tapping on build number 7 times in "settings > About" then moving to "Settings > Developer options" and changing "Select USB Configuration" to MTP. change it back and forth from charging to mtp if just clicking mtp doesn't work.

Only then would it show the internal storage locations.
