Hope you know how to write this image file to the appropriate partition. I'm cautious about giving instructions. If I have the time, I might create a twrp flashable zip.

Hello devs. I'm hoping that you can implement f2fs support with your next release. Back in the day I used an Asus Transformer Prime and it had crazy slow internal memory.

By default, it used ext4. Formatting ext2 was faster but could suffer corruption. Formatting f2fs get the speed and stability to actually make that tablet usable. Huge difference actually. I'm hoping that f2fs could take this switch rom's performance from good to amazing.

How to change it back to normal you have a img file to flash it back to normal

You can get the original boot.img from the full image you downloaded (32, 64, or 128GB). If you open up the full image using 7zip on windows, you can get access to the original boot.img.

I created the boot720p.img file because I wanted to permanently boot my switch into 720p. If I wanted to temporarily change back to 1080p, I would use the terminal command wm I described a few pages back.

Anyone figure out how to rotate the home screen to portrait? A few apps I've used only change applications to portrait but the homescreen goes back to landscape when the home button is pressed.

It's not a device that is normally supported by the LineageOS team, rather the switchroot devs have modified LineageOS to run properly on the switch, and have now released their official beta of an unofficial version of Android (LineageOS). Sorry if that still doesn't make much sense...


I hope we keep the LineageOS flavour.
I wouldn't call it a spinoff since unoffical builds like this are very common for devices that aren't supported officially.
There are many reasons why a device won't get offical support.
If this rom get's 100% fixed and the devs decide to maintain the switch, a offical release of LineageOS would be possible.

well first, homebrew on the switch is not 100% legal, its still against Nintendo's TOS to run inofficial code on the switch. Even though you're technically not altering their software, you're still exploiting the hardware.
I'm not sure if the lineageOS team would risk it to add the Switch to the list as an official device.

Make a backup of boot in twrp before flashing a new boot img.
Simply tap on backup and untick all except boot unless you want a full backup.
By the way i recommend doing a backup of system because if you break anything you don't have to flash the whole sd card because we have no zip to restore system but a backup will help.
/data can be formated to reset the rom.

So tick boot and system to be safe.

Homebrew is illegal if it's used to hack something.
Cheats and stuff is illegal.
But in case of android you don't touch Horizon OS, you don't touch the built in eMMC, you don't "hack" the switch's OS to run unsigned code or run cheats and mods in games, you're not able to dump games for piracy nor you're able to run illegal game dumps.

YOU owned the switch and it's yours and as long as you don't hack nintendo stuff there is nothing nintendo can do because the physical unit is yours.
(Nintendo-) software things are something different.

I also wouldn't call android "homebrew" because it isn't based on the switch OS, doesn't run unsigned code on it's OS and don't hack nintendo games.
It is a custom rom and the use of custom rom's isn't illegal as long as it doesn't infringe any copyrights.
Custom rom's are very common on android devices.
They're not illegal but the manufacturer don't like the fact, so they add fuses and create locked bootloaders.
In case of huawei for example, they no longer allow it to unlock the bootloader, so you can't run custom rom's.
But some manufacturer even support the community, upload kernel source code and has a offical way to unlock their bootloaders (for example htc dev).
But almost every device get's a "tampered" flag through fuses as soon as you unlocked the bootloader and from now on the repair centre know's you no longer have warranty and you have to pay for the repair because the damage could have happened from running a custom rom + kernel with overclock options and your phone burnt out or something like this.

Please if i'm wrong, someone has to correct me before spread bull**** but that's what i think about the situation.

We'll see in the near future.

Hi, any hope of creating a flashable img that's greater than 128gb lets say 512gb not for the android partition although 256gb would be great......but for the fat32 partition when connected to a pc...….I have found that you can use this fat32 partition at the same time along with the 128gb partition to use the homebrew as normal... tested and it works only thing is fat32 partition is only 2gb...…. ideally it would need the remainder storage after 128gb is allocated for the android portion and the remainder would be the fat32 partition given I have a 512gb micro sd card. a program named guiformat can partition fat32 partitions up to 2tb...…. or does anyone know how to create a fat32 image of basically any size that I can copy the 2 original folders from the 2gb fat32 partition and then insert it into the unofficial lineage os image...…….thank you,

The soft buttons are still broken for me in portrait, doing a clean install and flashing the 720p boot img, unless screen scaling is set to the smallest setting (which really makes everything a bit too small imo, but livable).

Safetynet check
I have recently installed magisk and magisk manager on my switch, but when I use the safetynet check, I get false on ctsProfile and true on basicIntegrety. Does it matter?

LMFAO! Homebrew on the switch is not 100% legal? It is legal. Tos is not law. Policy is not law.
