Hacking Hekate 5.2.0 and Android

[Rioluu]

Hey, I just recently partitioned my microSD card using the new hekate 5.2.0 release.

Also I set up a partition to use with android and when i click "Flash Android" in hekate it shows that it needs a Kernel, TWRP and DTB image.
Where do I get them? The normal download for android for switch just gives images to flash to a microSD.

It would be nice, if someone knows

did you try opening the image file with 7zip?

It's for updates coming soon for L4T and Android i think, i read this

it's for the L4T images that are coming soon and for if you know how to compile Pie

Hekate installation doesn't write the whole sd with a disk image.
It writes a partition image. That's the difference and why current images will not work with that.

People are already hard working to bring support for that. Just be a bit patient.
I had to release today, otherwise I would miss the anniversary again. And I didn't want to disable these 2 features and make a new release in a couple of days.

Existing methods can still work with the disk images. Hekate method will be with partition images.

I think those are DISK images, while he talked about PARTITION images. Better wait for official files

Hey hey, has anyone actually figured this one out yet? Currently about to try flashing that partition with lineageOS to see if that works, but the proper method would be awesome

Ok, I missed that first scroll through loool

 

[snoofly]

Cool.
So hekate 5.2 will allow for booting stock, sx os, atmos, l4t Ubuntu/Lakka retro arch for dolphin stuff all from one sd card when the partition images become available?

 

[Rigle]

Let's see if they are released soon

 

[enderer]

not released yet

 

[Cookie__XD]

Please remind me when it happens

It only supports android 9 (pie) and you have to build it yourself

on the road this is a message i have from a friend :

Almost there, nothing public yet

Finally found a solution. This champion posted a great video on Youtube- basically use all the files he supplies and flash Android from Hekate. Worked like a charm, now I'm triple booting Ubuntu, Atmosphere and Android easily.

good build, but your stuck using 1785 OC maximum, even with Magisk.
Some builds allow 2k cpu OC with performance mode enabled & the use of external apps like performance tweaker.
On the other hand Open GL is now much improved(not just vulkan) as is supports the latest version.
