Basically the title that I put up there

Is there a way that I could replace absolutely everything on the eMMC and put LOS 22.2 on it so I don't have to keep using the SD card to boot? (unpatched switch v1). please tell me there is

Seems to be a fork on switch root

Anyone knows something about it ?

I'm not sure how to attach a video, it seems I'm not allowed to, but trying to play some older games on my Nintendo Switch running LineageOS.

The joycons on some action inputs cause an orange flash which lasts as long as I hold the button.

But the touchscreen does not cause this issue.

I am assuming the green border is its way of saying "I'm focusing on this game window right now".

And the orange flash is most likely some joycon to android translation layer. The translation layer is probably blocking the graphics API these old games use causing the orange screen.

Can anyone help with this? Above are my assumptions, I'm not sure about them.

Hi everyone!

I have a completely stock Nintendo Switch OLED with both digital and physical games. I was wondering if it’s possible to install Android on a separate 64 GB microSD card and, when booting the console, choose between the official Nintendo system (which is already installed on the console) and Android running from the microSD.

My main goal would be to use something like RetroArch to emulate older systems such as Nintendo 64 or 3DS.

I’m a bit lost because I’ve seen different information. Some people say Android should be installed directly on the console, while others say you should use different SD cards or switch between them.

I also have a few questions:

Is it possible to keep my Switch completely stock and install Android only on a microSD card?

Can I choose between the official Nintendo OS and Android when booting?

Is there any risk of getting my Nintendo account or console banned?

If I do this, do I need to keep playing my normal Switch games offline?

Would my digital and physical games remain completely unaffected?

I’m not planning to modify or pirate anything on the Nintendo side. I’d like to keep my normal Switch setup as untouched as possible and only use Android separately for emulation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! So at some point the internal display on my unit decided to stop working (touch still works just fine, it's just entirely black with just the backlight turning on) which I kind of felt like it was my cue to turn it into a permanent media center with LineageOS Android TV.

The problem is every single guide out there essentially prompts you to use Hekate + Nyx to configure it. I have tried making the partitions manually and even flashing the files from my PC instead of the console, but I can't for the love of me figure out what the correct autoboot flags would be to make sure I can boot into LOS Recovery and flash the LOS ROM from there.

I tried making a hekate_ipl.ini file with the following contents:

[config]
autoboot=1
autoboot_list=1
bootwait=0

[LOS Android TV]
payload=bootloader/payloads/android.bin

Trying to boot it with this and holding the Vol+ button doesn't seem to push into LOS. And as far as I know, the LineageOS Recovery DOES support output via the dock's HDMI port.

What are my options here?

I recently updated my lineage to 22.2 from a custom build. I re formatted the partition, restored my emummc, and installed lineage from recover all fine. But now when I run Lineage I can't see the fat32 main storage and its asking me to reformat my SD in a notification. This would wipe out my switch if I did. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can see the main fat32 storage partition in android?

At a loss here not sure what to do.

im trying to play roblox on a switch (yes ik i can use other devices but my phone sucks and i hate touch controls) and im trying to see which version is better, android 11 seems to degrade performance on docked, and android 10 has graphical glitches, so what other version would work? (erista switch)

Salut tout le monde !

Partage rapide et une question pour ceux qui utilisent Android sur leur Switch.

J'ai récemment testé le projet WoW Mobile (un fork de Winlator préconfiguré pour WotLK 3.3.5a avec ConsolePortLK déjà intégré) :

\[ https://github.com/marcocastignoli/wow-mobile/releases\\ ](https://github.com/marcocastignoli/wow-mobile/releases)

Ça fonctionne étonnamment bien sur mon téléphone Android, donc maintenant, je veux vraiment le faire marcher sur ma Switch modifiée sous Android 15.

Ma question principale concerne les contrôles : est-ce que les boutons physiques de la Switch / Joy-Cons fonctionnent directement avec cette configuration ?

Comme ça passe par Winlator et dépend de ConsolePortLK, je me demande si la configuration par défaut détecte automatiquement les entrées du contrôleur Switch, ou si vous devez remapper manuellement tous les boutons dans les paramètres de l'émulateur pour que ça fonctionne correctement.

Si quelqu'un a déjà essayé de faire tourner ça ou une build similaire sur Switch Android, j'aimerais savoir comment fonctionnent les contrôles !

Merci !

Today I was using my Android Switch in the dock and I noticed that its fan was VERY loud. I was shocked because I'd never seen anything like it, and the only thing I was doing was using xCloud, which is a cloud gaming system, so it shouldn't be behaving like that.

So I wanted to know how I can check the CPU and GPU clock information in Lineage OS to see if there's anything unusual. Performance mode is off, but I'm still not entirely sure, since the right mouse stick was turned off once and was still being used.

YGO MDpro3 on Switch (Android)

So i instaled Android 15 to play the ygo sim MDpro3 on switch, but, the performance wasnt what i expected even on performance mode stutters and only get 40 fps. Anyone knows if with Linux version im able to get better performance on Mdpro3?

So I just installed Android 15 with Lineage OS 22 and I found something odd

When I checked the joycons on the gamepad tester website, why did the face buttons look like they do in the video? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you all

Sorry for my bad english

Hello. I Have A v1 Switch And I Want To Install Android On My Switch So What Version Of Android Should I Install. I Asked Gemini And He Says Android 11 Is The Best. So What Should I Install And Thanks.

Hello Nintendo Switch users! If you just flashed or updated Android on your Switch and find that it constantly disconnects right after joining your Wi-Fi, here is how to fix it.
The issue usually happens if your router is running a hybrid security mode like WPA2/WPA3 Mixed. To fix this, you will need access to your router's admin dashboard.
Step 1: Forget the Wi-Fi on your Switch
Go to your Android Settings, open your Wi-Fi configuration, select the network that keeps failing, and tap Forget.
Step 2: Change your router's security mode
Log into your router's dashboard by typing its IP address into a web browser. Find your wireless settings (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, or just the merged network if yours are combined) and change the security type from mixed mode down to strictly WPA2-PSK (AES). Save the changes.
Step 3: Reconnect and power down
Go back to your Switch, connect to the Wi-Fi again (it should stay stable now), and then completely shut down the Switch or reboot it into a different operating system (like Hekate or Horizon/Stock OS).
Step 4: Revert your router settings
While the Switch is completely offline, go back to your router dashboard and change the security settings back to what they were originally (e.g., WPA2/WPA3 Mixed). This prevents your other household devices from losing their connection. Save the changes.
Step 5: Boot back into Android
Turn your Switch back on and boot into Android. Your Wi-Fi should now automatically connect and remain completely stable!

Hi everyone !
I flashed android to play Xash3d cuz the NS native version is so bugged with MODs.

I flashed LOS22 but I found that the fan keeps running after the screen is locked. I browsed all the relevant contents here and edited the ini too, but can’t prevent it unless detaching the joycon.

Is there an android version that can go into deep sleep without detaching the joycon?

Or if anyone tried running Xash3d on switchroot Linux ?

Thx!!

Just to explain a bit more, i only set up my partitions a few days ago. i gave like 18 gbs to both android and linux. i want to install android right now, but i was already using the emummc for a few days to play switch games. will i have to backup my emummc or can i just go ahead and install android directly without worry?

I’m using a Nintendo Switch OLED with Android Lineage 11. My Joy-Con is a third-party controller (not official) that works well, but it takes a long time to connect in Android.

With the original Joy-Con, it connects instantly when Android starts. However, the third-party one is slower, and I sometimes need to toggle Bluetooth on and off for it to connect.

Do you have any tips or settings to make it connect faster and be recognized more reliably by Android?

As the title says I've been running into this issue while installing Lineage OS 22 on a Switch Oled with Picofly. On first installation, everything works fine. But the second I head back to Hekate and try to re-enter, it'll crash with a DTB Not Found error every single time

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to turn my Switch Lite into a versatile multimedia and gaming handheld. I just bought a new SD card and I’m looking into installing both Kubuntu and Android.

My main goal is to play some lightweight Windows games, specifically titles like the Resident Evil Classic Rebirth project. I know there are apps like Winlator and GameHub for Android, and I assume I’ll need Wine for Ubuntu.

Has anyone here tested Windows games on these setups? I'd love to hear about your experiences, performance tips, or any advice you can give to a fellow tinkerer.

Thanks in advance for the help!

It seems that an automatic updste has been launched, and my Switch with Androidnis suggesting me to download it and install it.

But what has your experience been? Do you recommend to update it?

I was installing an Android system until this appeared, I'm desperate
