hey guys is coreboot still not allowed on mariko? I am so confused. Hekate 5.5.4 says it supports mariko units and supposedly coreboot support was added back in 5.5.2. I am trying to install switchroot android 10. Was able to flash android but now i cant boot into TWRP bc i get this same "coreboot not allowed on mariko error". Is there still no way to put switchroot on mariko? If there is a way can someone please help me i have been trying to do this for months

Hey am i asking this in the wrong place or something? Its not apparent to me whether or not coreboot is supported on mariko. Latest release of hekate says it " suppports mariko" which leads me to believe i should be able to install android. And yet i cannot and get the coreboot error message. So why is this?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] beansta2k7:
I did not work the issue out, no.

Putting the switch in Battery saver mode does give me nearly another 3/4 days sleep though (can be done by quick settings icon) so that's something.

I do also have one other issue;

My Joy-con's LZ/RZ are being detected as analog triggers when they should be digital ones - This actually breaks some games functionality (Beat Hazard 2 being among the examples of them). Any way to change that behaviour? either by editing the controller config file within the system or any other method? A bit of insight would be appreciated.

Hello.

I just flashed the TV build, and everything is working fine in handheld mode, but I don't have sound from the TV when docked. I thought it was volume but it is at max.

I'm using the official dock, and I tested that everything was fine on Horizon.

Can someone offer some support?

Edit: Nevermind. I am using the sony dongle to pair my dualshock 4 instead of straight up bluetooth because it kept getting stuck in "pairing" forever, and I forgot that it routes audio. Went into developer options and disabled USB audio routing.

Just wanted to stop in and say how AMAZING this project is. As someone who was here from the very first release it was a VERY long wait for this new build but holy hell was it worth it. My switch is now slowly becoming my daily driver.

I do have one small problem though that i'm hoping can be fixed. For some reason i'm getting horrible bluetooth stutter when i try to cast to my smart speakers around the house. Anything i can do to fix this? Or maybe i need a better sd card?? I'm currently using a samsung 64gb evo plus. I thought this was one of the better sd cards.

But yea just wanted to say amazing work switchroot!!!

I have over 100gb of free memory for android, and the restis with the emunand and sysnand.

I have the same behavior. I'm still not really sure if this is "normal" or not with the Android build but I haven't seen anyone else mention it. When it's docked, the green light is always on unlike the switch OS that turns that off while in sleep mode. So I'm not sure if this actually every goes into a full deep sleep.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] sk74261700027:
Okay!

so, i figured something out about all of this...

this Android OS on the Switch is sometimes not charging the battery to full.

after restarting the Switch back to Android system with a 100% battery, Android then said battery was only at 77%. i charged the battery to full 100% again, and restarted. this time it says battery at 88%. i did it again and then it said battery at 99%. one more time... charge back to 100% and restart and says 100%.

another thing i notice, is that Android will often report the battery as being 99% even after having been on charge overnight. i can restart Android and still be at 99%.

as of to what is causing Android to sometimes not fully charge the battery, but yet it reports as fully charged? i don't know.

all-in-all, this would probably explain why i thought Android was charging the battery faster than normal.

~

on a side note... is too bad we can't reset the battery on the Switch. at least, as far as i know it can't be done.

closest i can think of is a partial reset of sorts, but haven't tried it. it would be leaving a small percentage of battery and charging while in RCM. from what i can tell, you can charge in RCM but it is very very slow. i don't imagine this would be an effective way to reset the battery.

only other thing i already found before was this > https://www.tomsguide.com/us/nintendo-switch-battery-indicator-fix,news-25575.html

does anyone know of a way that is possible to actually reset the battery?

Is there anyway to config the button layout of a controller that connects to the usb-c port? My controller is recognized as a pro controller, but it is "wired" and not via Bluetooth. so I cant dump them as normal joycons.

In this case is a Dobe controller (but i think it is the same with some Ipega).

Conclusion: Is it possible to dump (or something similar) a wired controller layout? or we can only do it via Bluetooth controllers (like the joy-cons)?

I have this same issue too.

On 05/02/2021 I had an evening with no Hori split pad pro issues.

After updating to 12/02/2021 after waking from sleep/off one of the controllers no longer functions.

If I slide the non functioning controller out of the rail and back in again it works but then the controller that was working no longer functions.

Only solution thus far is to restart and never let the Switch sleep.

I do not appear to have this issue when the joy-cons are in use.

I installed the tablet version. I have a weird problem the switch wifi is recognized I can see my network, but when I try to connect to it it gets stuck in a loop of trying to connect and not managing to connect. Password is correct and I don't have any mac filter or other stuff enabled there. Tried the 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks. Also tried reinstalling Android, tablet and atv versions seem to yield the same results. Anyone had those kind of problems before, is there a way to debug this?

I tried connecting it to my mac with usb debugging enabled and setting the wifi logging to high but 'adb devices' wouldn't list the switch I can't use logcat on it.

I can the the disabled reason in wifi settings as: network_selection_disabled_association_rejection=5

The wifi driver itself seems to be fine, I can open a hotspot on the switch and connect to it with other devices.

An update.

I decided to bluetooth pair my Pro controller to Android and found the left and right triggers were not working.

Assuming this was relative to some analogue digital shenanigans I went looking for answers.

Found a relatable reddit post -

https://www.reddit.com/r/switchroot/comments/k7a2v9

Unsure if this would work and resolve the trigger issues with the Pro controller I proceeded to flash the zip file mentioned in this post.

It did not work.

However since applying that zip file my Hori controllers are no longer exhibiting the issue mentioned prior.

Every cloud eh!

Have tested using Stadia, Geforce Now, PS Play, Steam Link and Xbox Game Streaming (Cloud and Local).

All appears well again!

Hi guys,

I found this article with a solution to drastically improve the docked interface and usability for tablet version:

Make Android 10's Hidden Desktop Mode more useful on the OnePlus 7/7T and Essential Phone

If you have a smartphone running Android 10, then you may not know that there's a hidden desktop mode. Here's how to make it more useful.

Hi everyone

I have a small problem using XCLOUD on all builds to play games that require (or are better controlled) using D-PAD.

The D-Pad works but when I long press UP - app seems to register ANDROID BACK BUTTON. The same goes when I long press RIGHT (I want to walk with my character).

Does anybody know a way to block this? I use gestures in tablet build.

Best way to check is to play Killer Instinct od D-PAD.

I just ran the same ZL/ZR fix you suggested, reinstalled joycon fix, and xbox layout again JUST to make sure, I have also gone into Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special App Access > Battery Optimization > Select All Apps , top right search for Input Devices > Select Result and set to Don't Optimize.

I just performed these changes 30 minutes ago, as of right now the switch has ben restarted once and I have yet to lose Hori Joycon controls even after removing and reconnecting the device.

I believe this has something to do with power settings or optimization. Since the Hori does not have a built in battery to hold "settings" whenever the switch goes to sleep and is woken up by attempted input on the controllers, it will just recognize whichever input controller was used first and stop using the other one and vice versa.

If I turn on a wireless Joycon (L) and set the bluetooth on the switch, the Horis will start to work without me having to restart. This is why I believe this is related to power, since it believes there is no devices plugged in it seems whenever it goes to sleep, wakes up and doesnt recognize them.

I am going to load a separate SD card with a base Lineage OS 17.1 without the OTA update and see if that continues to work without issues. Although the OTA update did include for support to Hori controller, I found my Hori to be working fully from first install. Thinking perhaps the 17.1 that I installed already had Hori support built in and I in fact did not require the update.

Will follow up with more updates once I have more to report, hopefully we can figure this out soon. Its a bit of a headache to be restarting the Switch, when you just want to pick it up and go! Thanks for giving a recent update, I've been looking for days!

Hi there,

I just downloaded the switchroot Android 10 build to my Nintendo Switch. The process mostly went well, I made sure to download OpenGApps, Hekate, lineageOS 17.1 package, Atmosphere, Joycon XBOX and all the other specs that needed to go on my microSD card (128GB).

Ultimately I was able to boot my Switch by injecting Hekate in RCM mode and then after partitioning my SD, I flashed my TWRP, DTB and Kernel images. So I was successfully able to boot into TWRP from there. I then flashed OpenGApps, lineage and Joycon and got into the LineageOS screen and turned on developer options.

However, the last time I booted into TWRP, when the guide I was following

, said after all the items were flashed, I would boot directly into LineageOS.

Instead, I booted into TWRP once again.

I am honestly not quite sure what I did wrong here, and I'm not very knowledgeable about all this stuff. I think it's actually amazing I was able to get as far as I did, but I would really like to finish the process so I can add Steam Link to my Switch through Android.

Any advice you could give me on all this I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you~!

Same happens with ATV build.

There's this app https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper (I think it needs root) which allows to remap buttons. I don't know if it would be possible to modify the behaviour with this app.

Other approach would be if someone knows how this app works internally, maybe it would be usefull to solve the actual problem, because somewhere in the build code it has to be mapped the BACK BUTTON.

I've also tested using the mobile phone as an android tv remote control and long-pressing "UP" the same problem happens
