Yeah I tried that before, unfortunately that doesn't work as Retroarch doesn't use the default Android File Dialog.

I guess that might be my only choice then, could I set it to auto-mount at boot if available?
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] popy2006:
You can use tasker or similar app to automate the mounting (just create a profile which gets triggered after boot).

There is no way to have it like Android 8?

This way it's pretty trash, Alt+Tab (I'm using KB) doesn't even work, not only that, there's a bunch of stuff that only works while undocked, this wasn't even a issue on Android 8, this just seems like a downgrade compared to Android 8 🙄.

Glad I put 10 on a different SD Card, so I still have 8, which looks way better then this.

Unless I did something wrong, to me, for what I use Android for, it's definitely a downgrade.

Getting reasonably decent standby life on my Switch. Friend of mine used a dodgy brand of SD Card and his died overnight.

If anyone is having problems with lag and waking, I'd consider trying a different MicroSD card before reporting issues on here. A bad card can cause a load of read/write and sync errors, which will propagate down to having trouble waking/crashing and piss poor battery life.

Hello, I'm having issues with my internet speed on the android tv build. It's really slow and takes ages to download apps. However, I then wiped the microSD card and installed the tablet version of the build and the internet was running a lot quicker. Is there some fix or setting I need to enable on the tv build, because I would rather use the android tv build than the tablet build, but I wont use it if the internet is basically unusable.

Also great work on getting android tv even running on the switch besides the internet issues, both the tablet and tv builds are very quick and responsive!

This version is amazing and runs buttery smooth compared to the previous version I was running so thank you a ton for the hard work and info!

Install the tablet version instead. It apparently has less restrictive DRM.

If you don't enable autorcm turning the switch off and on again will put you back in the normal OS. There should also be an ofw option in hekate.

I have a problem with gamestream, since nobody mentions it, I do not know if it is my own problem, both nvidia games, and moonlight, when transmitting to pc, the pc detects new hardware of hdmi sound, virtual mouse, and virtual keyboard, but no joystick , and that's why the joystick doesn't work for me in gamestream, I'm using split pad pro, docked.

I don't have joy-cons to test for bluetooth.

Does this happen to someone else with a joystick, attached?

Anyone tried with latest official citra emulator? I installed tablet version of A10 to switch, while testing official citra I find D-Pad cannot mapping correctly with joy-con put in rail.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Rahkeesh:
Does anyone have their joy-con working wirelessly? I did do the joycon bt dump in hekate before flashing. If I boot up without the joy-cons attached then they won't connect. If I attach the joy-cons to the rails they work fine while attached. Upon removing them from the rails they seem to immediatly connect wirelessly but usually don't work. The player number indicators (number of lights inside the rail) are often different, showing up with like 2 on one joy-con and 3 on the other. These numbers keep changing if you attach and detach the joy-cons. Occasionally I can get one of them to actually do something but not both. I'm wondering if they are attaching as player 2, 3 and so on. Pairing an 8bitdo x-input controller over bluetooth worked flawlessly btw, as do the hori dpad and split pad pro when attached.

for gapps, you must use v10 of android or you will get a mistmatch error in TWRP upon install of any other version. also ,does anyone know if there is a reboot to payload to go in and out of android to rcm like the older Android from root access?

EDIT: Looks like through the TWRP Recovery you can simply reboot to Bootloader and it works, cept not once you load into Android 10. I downloaded this fishy looking Bootloader App called reboot options by JKarDev right from the store and it work!!!!!! YAY :)

If you enable developer options (settings -> about -> click build number a few times) there will be an advanced reboot toggle in the developer options which once turned on allows you to select payload in the reboot menu.

This Rom is awesome.

Great Lp0 with with alarm-disable.zip.

Sometimes rotation won't work but with the app called Rotation Control I can ignore this until it's fixed properly.

I lost 4% battery after sleeping and going to work. This was 15 hours ago. I'm very impressed.

Because I gave Android only 20gb of space I wanted retroarch to use all the roms I have on my horizon fat32 partition.

In magisk I enabled global name space (dunno if that is mandatory) and went to retroarch. Here I changed the default path from DOWNLOADS to /mnt/vendor/factory/retroarch/downloads and was ready to go. I'm used to have my romz in there.

No need for any fancy scripts or Tasker commands. It works out of the box. Really nice.

Thank you all for your time and effort to make this great rom happen.

The fingerprints are changed to nvidia shield tv pro 2019 and so Netflix and stuff are visible on play store and everything passes safety net checks. Nothing I could complain about.

Keep on the great work!

Edit: even bt audio works great. I use galaxy buds (the first ones) and installed also the wearable app. No crackling or bad audio. Latency is quite good and can be adjusted in apps like MX player pro or plex (I use both of them). I didn't test Amazon prime video yet.

Using hekate you can partition an SD card to multi-boot and by enabling developer options in android you're able to reboot to hekate where you can boot to stock or another OS/CFW installed on your SD card or even back to the normal FW. You can also simply shut the system down and boot normally too if you didn't want to go through hekate.

I'm telling you, folks, brand/quality of SD Card will make ALL the difference in your user experience because the OS is running from the card itself.

I haven't seen anyone else with this error so I thought I'd ask here.

Upon flashing Lineage OS and installing the 3 recommended zips (I chose the correct gapps), when I boot into Android, before I can even do anything to set it up it constantly spams me with "System UI keeps stopping" and I can't do anything. If I press close it keeps popping back up.

Any ideas? The only thing I can think of, which I'm not sure made a difference, but I accidentally booted into Android before installing the 3 zip files first off, then rebooted and installed them.

If it makes any difference I gave 64gb to Android and I have a 400gb SanDisk microSD card.

Thanks
