No sadly. I've had some other things get in the way. Given that I have to build my own boot image and other things. I'll need to hunker down and figure it out. I'll see if I can get something going later this week. I've been enjoying the extra space in HOS lol, but yeah...

Looks as though booting android/linux off EMMC is a bit more complicated than I thought. I'll have to compile a custom boot.scr binary, and add EMMC entries to the dts portion of the boot process? Once I have built that I'll add them to the thread for others to use. A ton of this is super new...

I'll play around with somethings prior to getting the initial setup done. I'll see if the switch and hekate can support a Fat32 partition that's made on the EMMC itself. If it works you would still need to boot into RCM, but you'd have everything running from the EMMC itself. To give everyone...

You will most likely still need to boot from a payload in order for this to work. Unless hekate gets rewritten to support booting from the EMMC chip itself. Not sure if you can set it up as an SD and boot drive.

Finally got it! I’ll be posting a write up soon.

The flag for the main FAT partition needs to be 0C. Gdisk will be your friend.

Did you restore an image to the partition, or did you copy your files manually?

Awesome. Thanks for the guide! It seems as though my suspicions weren’t unfounded. Seems like we do have to write the android image to SD first before an easy change can be made. I’ve been trying to do this manually for the past week or two, but I’ve always failed because I never got the...

Thanks for the link. Since we would need the board that connects the EMMC to the switch. I'd preferably only want to promote the full unit(The board and the new EMMC already soldered to it.). Some on here might be technically savvy, but it might be too daunting of a task to also have to solder...

Thanks for the info! I’m hoping that all that is needed is to write some images to a few properly appropriated partitions and some configuration here and there. L4T, and android call to different partitions and sector counts. So right now the biggest hurdle would be to change how each os finds...

If anyone who's interested could find a source for the 128gb EMMC module. I'd be more than happy to share it. Mine is still in transit and it was pretty expensive when I bought it.

It might. Thats what I’m hoping to do. My console is banned so i’m not at risk, but once I’ve sorted out the process. I’ll be putting disclaimers out there. This whole process provides a huge ban risk so if you buy an emmc chip. Do so at your own risk.

I am mainly concerned with data integrity. An OS can perform 1000s of read write operations. Would rather run everything off of the EMMC to avoid burning out my SD card prematurely.

Placeholder thread for my future guide on how to install android on an EMMC. I have acquired a 256gb EMMC chip. Its arriving soon. I will be experimenting with it and sorting out and identifying the issues that might come along. If you are interested, feel free to provide input. My end goal is...

Still hoping to try and install this to NAND. What would I need to start?

I agree. Releasing this on the switch opens the door for new android users.

I’d love to prove that theory. I would need help though. It could open up the door for many NAND upgrades on the switch.

Would it be possible to install this on the EMMC? I’ll be playing around with a 256gb EMMC soon. I’d love to use that as a boot drive instead of the SD.

I'd love to be the guinea pig.

Would it be possible to install android on to a partition of an EMMC? I've purchased a 256gb EMMC to replace my 32gb. My plan is to install all my OS's to the EMMC and use the SD for storage.

I've had something similar happen to me with OnePlus. Not sure why companies are so adamant on being ****ty to supporting the warranty of a resold phone. I'd still try and push back with proof from safe mode. Escalate and such. Do you have the receipt from the original order? I haven't read...

I replaced mine with essential support. Experienced the same problem. Boot into safe mode, document the battery drain with screenshots.

I ended up needing to reauth the app for the island. Not a big deal, but not ideal either. Oh well. It was just one app. Everything else is able to be synced.

By all means, use a different method to edit the build.prop. I have not encountered an issue after rebooting.

I set mine at 0.5. Feels pretty smooth.

I tried to use Magisk temporarily in the work profile. Doesn't work. I will probably have to redo the app.

Build Prop change working like a charm!

Not even with adb?

How can I use titanium backup to backup/restore apps from the mainland to the island? I'm trying to isolate many apps, but it's currently not fesable to restore the data from app onto the island. I can transfer files to the island such as a backup file, but titanium doesn't detect root. I don't...

Its not as bad as how it was. I can get about 19 hours with 2-3 hours SOT. Not amazing, but not terrible either. The battery does drain fairly quickly, but idle is still fine.

Yeah pretty much I'm an idiot lol. Thanks for pointing me to the menu. I was digging and digging, but I must have missed that menu tree.

I actually had to turn it on. I rely on it. Sprint in the US does not have VoLTE :rolleyes:.

Anyone else seeing this? Just noticed that its missing in Android P. Going to dig around to see if its turned off, but hmm ?.

I flashed on release. This was what I have gotten so far. Bare minimum use. It does drain fast when in use, but idle is semi decent.

Battery life is decent enough. I might just stay on P for a while unless a good ROM is released.

That makes sense I guess. I'll have to try that.

Anyone else not able to connect to their WiFi Networks? I can see what is available around me. I can't use wifi analyzer either to look and see if it's visible.

Holy ****. They actually delivered. Might just jump to stock.

My $19 cam doesn't work because I have a dbrand skin. :( The cam arrived pretty quick. Took 3 days, but I don't wanna ruin my skin.

I also had to wipe with fastboot -w before I could flash the latest HMP build. I was on an older build so it makes sense.

New bug for me. Essential 3.5mm cuts off every few min. Drops calls, stops music. Unsure what that's about. Apart from that, this ROM runs great and has amazing battery life.

I haven't experienced that.

I think LOS touch is included in the latest build. I preferred the previous touch that was in the 5/27 build. LOS touch is quick, but not smooth.

The video banding issue occurs on any camera. If the camera isn't moved and what ever you are recording is relatively still then it looks pretty normal, but once there's a bit more movement it looks choppy. Using IG live video from the FFC works fine. Haven't used another app.

I'm on the new build, video recording works! However... there is another issue now. When you record and make sudden movements there is slight banding in the video. It looks choppy if you move the camera quickly.

Amazing battery life and performance. I'm actually surprised at how good this is. My only gripe is with what's been plaguing all custom Oreo builds it seems... Video recording.

I think I know what happened... I had Supersu installed. As soon as I uninstalled it, it worked. I guess Company Portal automatically rejects if you have that app installed, even with Magisk hide. I am running LOS on the Essential Phone. I do pass SafetyNet, and I should be certified. Edit...

I'm having trouble passing Intune's test after installing this. Previously I was disabling root, but now even that doesn't work. It seems like I get instantly flagged now. Is there something that I might be missing? Install process: Uninstalled Intune and Microsoft apps(Outlook, Word.. Etc)...

AOSiP and Lineage run fine for me. Many bugs that need to be worked out, but they still run okay. Currently running stock however as I am trying to pinpoint what is killing my battery life. One day I am running great, the next I am leaking % left and right.
