Well they have had every chance to do this too, so...
Its releasing soon anyways and they didnt want to release a buggy mess. Releasing your own builds to the public causes people to come into the discord and bitch about issues that have been fixed for months and it actually gets annoying after a while.

I noticed the Screen Mirroring feature doesn't work? is it disabled or just not implemented?
There are many things disabled. Selinux, screen locker, automatic update, tethering, among other things.

This is what caught my attention the most, we need legal information and certificate files that only Nvidia Shield has

If they're claimed to be fixed, but not released, then they aren't really fixed.
Well on latest unofficial builds that you can build yourself, its fixed and on the github its also fixed :wink: Release is coming soon anyways so its doesnt matter.

Random old unofficial builds released by random people dont just get updated out of nowhere. Switchroot has released 0 builds so its not their fault :)

Anyway, it is something that they can be activating and deactivating at any time to solve other problems, so it is not definitive that it works.
oh it works. Even works on my jan 13th 2021 build :)

Switchroot releasing 0 builds is why they're in this mess to begin with, LOL.

what mess? people going against their wishes and releasing broken builds when they know they are broken so switchroot looks bad? The way you look at it kinda seems weird tbh.
They even asked to not share builds because this is what would happen. People would get broken shit, people would complain, and then they would think Q isnt ready. Which hmmm.... It wasnt any time someone released a build that had broken features. They want to release something that actually works and isnt filled with issues.

It again isnt their fault that people choose to use old outdated builds that will get 0 updates and 0 support anyways. Anyone using any unofficial builds will also have to format their android install just to flash the official as well. People just dont understand that and get mad for no reason... Its stupid

I don't know where this conversation is going. I only see an undesirable and incomprehensible attitude. We hope to see Lineage17.1 green light soon for all users.

I agree. It only leads to arguing but at the same time people like that just aggravate me. Its ridiculous to even blame the devs for things that arent ready to be released. The unofficial building was meant for people to test and try to help with bugs. Not release to the public as a finished product....

I appreciate that you have created a tutorial to compile. I understand that sharing builds is bad as it forces you to update for all solutions and is hard work. If you have how to compile it, it is better that you try it and you have the opportunity to help improve it knowing that you use the latest updates.

I didnt make a guide but Zachy did and automated scripts were made to help make the building process even easier. They help a lot of people but it also helped people upload builds a lot easier as well. Random unofficial builds uploaded to sites does not help Q release faster. It almost slows it down a tiny bit. Not a lot but with people coming in with issues that were fixed for a while ago and they ask for support its just a distraction to the devs (im not a dev just trying to help where I can and thats not a lot to begin with)

I'm pretty happy with how it is now, using the hori split pad for san andreas, among us & slither.. we just need a dolphin compatibility settings list
Thats what I plan on doing. As I am testing something for android, I am also trying to get a gamesettings pack ready once what I am testing is public. It will only be games that I either see as fun or games that I am asked to test atm but hopefully once things are done everyone can eventually attempt to add to the game settings pack.

Edit- just a heads up, WII games for the most part do not run well on switchroot Q nor will it work well on 9 or 8.1 from my experience.
