Is there any guide to use the same microSD card with atmoshpere and lineageOS? I've ordered a 256GB and I wanna experiment with it and not insert a different card every single time I need to switch OS.

Use hekate (I supose you already install it) you can put atmosphere & fusee primary payload on fat32 partition and you can enjoy using them on the same card.

You need to backup your SD card prior to installing Android; with the partition tool give Android the storage you want and install and run through setup then after that's done restore your backup and all should be good.

I'm currently using SX OS but as I see it getting discontinued I'll change to Atmosphere. So it'll be all new to me, no backups, but also no experience whatsoever.

Good look I'm thinking of doing the same not mention I can use Xbox One controller using homebrew and us an adapter.

First things first, I would like to congratulate Switchroot for the awesome work on their integration of Android 10 on NSw. I was waiting for it for ages and the wait paid off well; LineageOS 17.1 is a gargantuan update over 15.1. Everything works faster, better and most of the Oreo's issues are gone.

Secondly, because I am a streaming-nerd (this is the main reason I need android on my console) I would like to make two recommendations to make your life easier, if you are into streaming as much as I am:

• Forget the official Playstation remote play app. It is very probable that the Magisk will break your android at some point, I know I had to restore my android image because of Magisk. Prefer paid third-party apps, I use repl4y and it works like a charm, either locally or over the internet.
• One of my greatest irritations with Xbox app is the black bars around the streaming area even though the NSw's display is 16:9 ratio. I searched everywhere for a solution to this abomination, since it also presents itself in my Razer Phone 2, but it was in vain, no one had a solution (I tried androidcentral, MS, Xbox support, even Razer forums). I finally found a workaround, so if you would love to stream over your Xbox Series X|S from edge-to-edge on Switch's screen all you have to do is turn on gesture navigation (Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Gestures -> System Navigation -> Gesture Navigation) and you can thank me later.

Lastly, some problem I have met, if someone has found a solution:

1. I think that my console's battery drains way too fast on sleep. It cannot last more than one and a half days. Today I charged it at 100% and put it on sleep, three hours later it was at 90%. Is that normal? Some people speak of 10-day life on sleep, I did not encounter such battery life. Is there something I can do?
2. I cannot transfer files from my Windows 10 PC over my Switch via USB. The console does not show under my computer in windows explorer as any other android device would. Any ideas?

Is the tablet zip corrupt? I'm using a clean SD card (TV zip works fine), but can't install the Tablet zip since the installer will report "Invalid zip file format!".

Thank you. I also have an xbox one gamepad, but main purpose is handheld gaming!
If you succeed you can post some instructions, they'll be extra useful.

I agree on everything. I've also paid for repl4y and it's so good. I can even steam out of home after making some port forwarding.
About your second question:
Yes, just make a share on your computer and access it via wifi and a file manager app like cx explorer.

First thx for the tips, I confirm that magisk broke the build after some use (I tried dolby true hd and everything was a mess even when I remove it), for immersive mode I was using systemui tuner to do that + 3rd party nav bar.

Chiaki is performing well aside the d-pad not working for joycons.

for xbox streaming see my previous posts atv build is performing very well with xcloud 2007 version (newer ones are not ok) and the last Xbox game pass beta apk.

About the sleep mode I have the same issue and my workaround is to switch to atmosphere when I don't use it cause it took 2 min and 2% of battery.

Re to connecting to win when you plug it slide down and u will see on hidden notifications usb mode change it to usb transfer mode and you are good to go.

Is there any guide to use the same microSD card with atmoshpere and lineageOS? I've ordered a 256GB and I wanna experiment with it and not insert a different card every single time I need to switch OS.

Hello, I am no expert but I have got my Switch setup to run Atmosphere and Switchroot of a single SD.

Basically, when I turn on my Switch, I RCM and boot into the Hekate bootloader and from there I have three options:
Atmosphere CFW
Android

I bought my Unpatched Switch second hand and it was already banned from Nintendo eShop
I haven't worried about keeping my Switch clean so it wont be detected and banned
I use a 1TB MicroSD and allocated 250GB to Android

We need to format our SDs as FAT32 - the only method that worked for me was the Free version of EaseUS Partition Master
I also reset my Switch to factory (just in case "a clean canvas")

I followed the installation steps on Page 1
When flashing I simply queued up all 4 Flash files in one go (Switchroot rom first plus 3 apps) and reboot

Once I made sure Android is running fine, I followed the instructions for Atmopshere here:

Atmosphere installation with sigpatches

birbchirp.gitbook.io

Once that's done I edited the hekate_ipl.ini file on the Switch by adding these entries:

[Android]
payload=switchroot/android/coreboot.rom
icon=bootloader/res/Android.bmp
{}
[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp
{}


That way when I go to Launch I have 2 options:
Android
Atmosphere CFW


Hope this helps some

About the sleep mode I have the same issue and my workaround is to switch to atmosphere when I don't use it cause it took 2 min and 2% of battery.

At this point, if you can get away with enabling battery saver, it should be less than 1% per hour of standby.

It's even better if you turn Wifi off when you're not using it.

Before the little squiggle, wifi off. After, wifi on. Slightly sharper decrease, but still less than 1% per hour.

You got a few replies already but just wanted to mention what I did. I had first setup atmosphere then installed atmosphere + android on a second "identical" sd card (you can just make a copy of your current one as you go). In hekate, you can partition the sd card as needed. There is a handy slider bar to do so, but make sure that you put the "full" 29gb to emmc and however much space you want for the android partition (i used 32gb). The initial partition table just shows 0gb to everything. When you partition it will erase all your data so you will need to recopy stuff if there is anything you want to keep. If you're starting fresh I think you would do this step after installing hekate but before installing atmostphere the first time. You should then be able to continue with the atmosphere and android installs normally.

At the end, go into the developer options for android and enable advanced restart options. This should enable an option to reboot into bootloader (ie hekate) so you can switch between the two easily.

Hi,

I don't have a real explanation to that (maybe devs can confirm) but the streaming performance in atv are much much better than the tablet build (I'm using the tablet buld rooted and full of stuff, I didn't try a vanilla tablet build yet to compare), I'm experiencing this with xbox streaming services xcloud and streaming of my xbox one s (which are the worst optimised up to now, for info I need to stream to my Samsung note 20 ultra to get stable stream compared to my Samsung m30s) with tablet the stream drops each 30s but on the atv it's compared to my high end phone, maybe the atv build is a bare bone that's why it's much better, for devs: if you are using a different wifi driver would it possible to include it to the tablet build please.

So for those who like me want to play locally or remotely xbox streming services you should use the atv build, also another tip, when you stream from your xbox and the stream drops a lot restart the xbox and the stream will become much better (it took me ages to figure out this!).

btw the best way to test the streaming quality (and the worst game for streaming) is to play NFS heat, for me it was impossible to play it on tablet with the atv build is possible.

In any case great job lads you made my dreams come true!

I think XCLOUD and Local Xbox Streaming are the worst of streaming services I've tried. I just don't get why folks are digging it. I've had issues across Samsung Tab S7+, S20, and many other devices through the years. I have an XSX and was hoping finally streaming would be crystal clear with my hard-wired Xbox. No dice. ON the other hand, PS4 Remote Play through the Android App PSPLAY is working flawless at 720P/60 (only have a PS4 Slim) - with only minor hiccups here and there. Quality of the stream itself is pretty good with minimal artifacting - very clean IQ. Moonlight by far is the best streaming I have ever used without peer though - I can get 1080P/60 at 20Mbps on my Switch Running A10 Tablet build - and it's largely almost as stable as my hard-wired Intel NUC PC that I often use to access my desktop computer. Everything is hardwired except for client in all cases.

I am also using a TP-Link OMADA Wireless Access Point hardwired to my LAN to provide wireless access only for gaming clients as well, with direct line of site usually when I stream. So I have what I would consider a pretty darn optimal setup for streaming from a console - so go figure why on earth, of all the devices I stream from (PS4, PC, and Xbox Series X) that Xbox remains the WORST for consistency and image quality of these 3?

I had no issue just creating a multi-boot install as well using Hekate 5.5.4. I started over though - not sure you can turn an existing A10 install into a multi-boot.

I got a 400GB SD Card, used Hekate to partition Android at 60GB, emmunand at 29GB, and the rest as just accessible to storage (280gb I think?). I probably should have created a Linux partition too in case I wanted to try that in the future - oh well. I installed A10 first after the partition process (so I only loaded files necessary for that install). Once installed, I removed SD Card and copied over all the Atmosphere and NRO files for CFW - went into hekate and created EMMUnand. I also copied back the Nintendo folder as well, under emmuc/raw 1.

I also turned on AutoRCM as well. You have to make sure you don't remove Android boot files from the SD card though when you copy over Atmosphere CFW and any other files. Now when I boot it auto's into Hekate (unless coming from cold boot or stock firmware) without even using an injector - can easily go into stock, CFW and Android on the fly. Really straightforward now.

I'm new to modding my Switch, so it's incredible, but I use Android for Moonlight/PSPlay, and PSP Roms (some dolphin stuff, but it doesn't work as well). Then use CFW most of the other times and have some 60FPS mods for games. Need to solve installing my Game carts so I can put a few more titles on there and never do the swapparoo again! Pretty amazing setup.

Thanks for the tip, I confirm that I got a much better battery life with battery saver.

I totally agree, but I confirm that I got almost perfect streaming with only Xbox one s (I'm still trying to get an XSX) through the following:

-Android tv build
-Xbox game streaming preview ver 2007 https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/micro...ing-preview-1-12-2007-2001-22b177646-release/
-Be sure to restart the Xbox when the streaming got crazy
-Stop the streaming from the console itself not from xcloud app
-Close the game before you stop the streaming.

I know it's not straight forward but with these steps I reach my goal.

For xcloud I am just using the last app on atv build and it's fine.

I hope this will help those who wants to stream their xbox on the switch.

I'm going to have to try this. Do you know if there is an easy way to turn off wifi while the device is sleeping or locked? Maybe I can poke around with Tasker

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the rail connection on the switch android 10 build so that the joycons can only connect to the switch via bluetooth, similar to how it was on android 8. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, however I wanted to try something between my pc and the switch version of android.

Right now I have installed an app called superdisplay on the switch tablet build which allows me to turn the switch into another monitor for my pc. I wanted this so that I could play wii u games on cemu while having the gamepad display on the switch's display and control the games using my joycons via a bluetooth connection to my pc. My joycons are connected to my pc via bluetooth, however whenever I slot them into the switch they disconnect from the pc's bluetooth connection and only function on the switch.

Is there a way to disable this feature in the settings or do I need to do something more complex to do this. Any help would be appreciated!

 

[ggswitch]

1.a problem fhere. that bluetooth seems to have a 20ms delay?and docked mode still have a 20ms delay
2.the intro says it can sleep for weeks,but mine just sleep two days less
3.is there a way to map joycon to control switch for all the functions?

 

[rrwholloway]

Can the joycons be used by two players?
