Yes you can, i ve installed a couple games through this method myself. If you accept the fact a ban will hit you sometime, theres nothing to be afraid of. A ban will hit you anyway for whatever reason if you using all those homebrew and stuff. And also, eventually there ll be something to unban consoles too, so whatever.
Edit - this is for those who arent familiar to this process
the process to using another donor is quite simple, same as for the layeredfs,
all you need to do to use another game as donor is you have to do a bit of change to the file called main.npdm thats inside exefs folder to match the game you wanna use as donor
this way:
Before anything, make a backup for devmenu, just in case something goes wrong
open up this website
http://carlus.altervista.org/nx/title_id_patcher.html
I will use VOEZ Demo
Type down the title id for the game you want to use as donor
As I m using VOEZ Demo, the title id for this game is 01008D00062C2000
so simply type down:
01008D00062C2000
click on Browse...
look up for the main.npdm file thats inside exerfs
After it, click on `Download patched file ` and download it to whatever place you want it to be.
copy this main.npdm file you just downloaded to exerfs folder, overwrite the one thats there.
create a folder on the sd card called sxos
create a folder inside sxos called titles
create a folder inside titles with the same titleid name as you used for the donor, in this case, 01008D00062C2000
copy all the devmenu content to the inside of 01008D00062C2000 folder
at this point, you should have something like this:
sdcard:\sxos\titles\01005D100807A000 with both exefs and romfs inside there
thats it
get your sd card back to the switch, turn the switch on and open up the donor you used, in this case, VOEZ demo
Im pretty sure that a loaded backup from SX OS will not work.... I tried with my real cart of SMO and it worked 100%. Loaded SMO xci backup from the SX OS menu and it froze.... So you either have to have a digital game installed or a cart inserted. Can't be a backup copy from my experience.Argh, i've still got exactly the same result. It freezes at the Nintendo screen upon launching the donor game..
Well, i didnt try it out with this id but you can give it a try. It wont brick or do any harm to your switch if something goes wrongI only have kirby stars demo installed on my switch.. so can I use this?
01007E3006DDA000 <-- TitleID
Kirby™ Star Allies Demo

Use the guide to update without burning fuses on here.I tried it using my FIFA 18 cart, it still froze at the Nintendo screen..
I'm positive these freezing issues are being caused by Horizon v4.1 for whatever reason.. Meh..
Fuck it, i'm gonna join the Ninty grid & upgrade this device. Will buy another one for online play, i've made my peace with it...
are u on fw 5.1? because im using ur method and i keep getting stuck on the nintendo loading screen with any game i tried, even tried hulu. think u have to be on 5.1Well, i didnt try it out with this id but you can give it a try. It wont brick or do any harm to your switch if something goes wrong
Using Flashback
Change directory name to 01000A0004C50000
Hexedit sxos\titles\01000A0004C50000\exefs\main.npdm
Offset - Data
0x290 - 0000010000000001 0000C504000A0001

So pretty much confirmed there is an issue with SX OS LayeredFS on 4.1.0, I'm still going to wait for TX custom installer though until new games start asking for 5.x firmwareJust to confirm, I can now launch DevMenu using a donor without issue on v5.1. Not sure what was causing the freezing issues on v4.1, but hey ho..
Now to re-flash my NAND backup, everything setup on v5.1 /w Pokemon installed for the basis of DevMenu, once I confirm that’s an easy way to ‘start again’ so to speak, i’ll start going install crazy on some of these other games..

Im on 4.1.0 and considering updating to 5.1.0 like you did. Fed up with file splitting and length of time it takes. If you backed up 4.1 NAND can you restore easily from there. Ive never done a restore does it 100% work right now? Also if you have 5.1.0 devmenu working why are going back to 4.1?
Could You share your SMO main.npdm please?Got it on SMO cart .. may upload a video proof
