Thanks, I would have never checked there. I saw a picture icon and for some reason i was thinking screenshots. Is there any way to remove the on screen button overlay?

Yeah, once you've set up your controller start a game and then hit the "-" button and it should bring up a small menu, go to configure controls, then toggle controls, and then just toggle everything off. That should remove the on screen overlay.

Sorry to bother again, but where do I change keyboard's? Tried looking everywhere but not seeing any options. Installed the app, but no app in menu so it must be hidden somewhere?

When you have keyboard open, there should hopefully be a keyboard icon on the right side of the navigation bar, that you can use to switch between keyboards. But first you might have to activate the new keyboard - go to Settings, System, Language & Input, and Virtual Keyboards, and make sure it's enabled. It's around there anyway, I'm looking at EMUI on my phone rather than the closer-to-stock settings on Switch android.

Im sorry I see zero point on having Android on the Switch. It doesnt make sense at all. You can also just buy one of those Chinese consoles with Android.

I'm sorry you have such poor imagination.

I'm using it to play the best PC game ever made (Half-Life 2) on my Switch, as well as Metal Gear Rising and Portal. There's also a huge number of emulators for Android that are in a much more mature state than the ones running on Switch's OS today.

So is it ok to use an Android-configured-Micro SD card set up on one Switch and use it on a different Switch?

What do you think guys/girls?

Is it possible to Boot Android like a Homebrew App without the need of a Computer/Laptop?

Not yet but maybe in the future (like 3458?)

If you're not using SXOS to boot, it should work, cause it's the same hardware. But I fail to see the goal.

This comes back to Switch hacking. There's no way for now and in the foreseeable future to boot homebrew / alternative OSes without injecting a payload on most of the non-patched switched.

I want to make a complete image of my SD card with installed and configured emulators and give it to my brother so he can use it on his Switch.

hey, does anyone know how to change wifi regulatory domain to enable wifi-channel 13?

As long as his switch is hackable too, it should work.

Are the analog sticks of the Joycons supposed to work? They work in menus, but not in-game, e.g. in Dolphin.

Easiest way for me personally is to use Rekado for android phone after a change of microSD, its no more than a 2 minute process from start to finish.

Yes... because on stock there is no root

you have to install/flash magisk over TWRP. After that, everything should be fine
