[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][8.1] switchroot LineageOS 15.1

Hey guys,

A lot of you were asking if there is an image for xyz GB microSD cards or how to increase the Nintendo Switch partition size to use the same card for the regular Switch OS and Android.
Well, I had the same requirements, therefore I made an interactive bash script that does exactly that. All you need is a Linux environment to run the script on. This can also be an Ubuntu Live-USB Stick for example.

Unfortunately, this is my first post. Therefore, I cannot include any external links. But you can find everything on GitHub under Gabri3lZ/SwitchrootAndroidUtils.


The script lets you decide what size the Android user partition should have, and it will use the rest of the free space for the FAT32 partition for the Nintendo Switch. It also allows to create an additional partition for EMUMMC (for those who want to run homebrew apps on the Switch and want to reduce the risk of getting banned). The script has the following advantages over using Etcher to flash the image:

• Size for Nintendo Switch partition and Android user partition can be defined by the user
• Support for an additional partition for EMUMMC
• No wasted space on the microSD card, no matter what size the card has
• The whole process is faster, because it does not dump Gigabytes of empty partition data to the microSD card
• No fragmentation or breaking the (hybrid MBR) partition table because of moving and resizing partitions
• The partitions are properly aligned (to 1 MiB)

1. Download the 16GB image from Switchroot's XDA-Developers post and extract the ZIP file.
2. Download "flash.sh" to the same directory where the image is.
3. Open Terminal emulator and navigate to the directory where the image and script are (in Ubuntu, you can use the File explorer to navigate there, right click the folder and select "Open in Terminal").
4. Execute the script and pass the path to the Android image as a parameter:
   
   Code:

   sudo ./flash.sh ./android-16gb.img

5. Follow the instructions in the interactive script.
6. Follow the remaining instructions in the XDA-Developers post (from step 3).

I see, any way to use this card or should I return it and get a slower one? Any recommended 32gb cards? Ty.

For some reason Dolphin will not recognize Joystick inputs while using the Joy-Cons. I've tried the 'fix-joycon.zip', along with the modded version created by @SonsofOcelot but they didn't seem to do the trick. Oddly enough Dolphin correctly detects joystick input in the controller binding section, but while in a game they do not function.

Hey, really like your script, man! It really seems to make more efficient use of the storage available. Would you recommend running this on a physical machine over a VM? I tried setting up an SD card with your script on a Ubuntu VM but I'm just getting a black screen when trying to boot to Android. I haven't been able to see TWRP yet. Yes, I am pressing + when the Hekate screen shows after tapping Switchroot Android icon. Sometimes I don't see a Hekate after tapping it. Let me know what I should do. I'm using Windows to push Hekate to the Switch.

So I went through the whole setup again, booting through hekate and choosing Switchroot Android, but boots directly into the OS. I have no option of installing gapps. How do I fix this?

Gapps installation occurs in TWRP. Access TWRP by holding volume + the moment you tap Switchroot in hekate.

Once in TWRP, tap Install and select the gapps you downloaded to your FAT32 (PC readable) partition. Slide to flash gapps.

Has there been any word from the devs about future updates? I know they are still active on discord but it seems pretty strange with how active they were on here before release and then after release not a word.
