Android (SwitchRoot) for the Switch to be released in 5 days

no downloads yet, i just messaged a staff member too about it, lol. then i realized the link isnt there yet

 

ik i was super excited too :/ . langer hams says he plans it to be released within the next 5 days though.

 

5 day eta though according to the site (or less depending)

 

I'm in the switchroot discord. They're discussing locking the discussion thread on xda. (so no people start spamming the thread demanding it to release right away)


lol i just used win32diskimager to backup my l4t ubuntu sd so i can format and install android, i suggest you guys do the same if you plan on replacing l4t ubuntu with android, unless you have another micro sd card


release link just posted on switchroot twitter

A preliminary DevDB post is up here: https://t.co/5UOXqkRJQK (locked until actual release). Current ETA: Within the next five days.

Wow awesome

 

Welp, just when my Switch is broken, gonna get my solder ready to fix it before release.

 

Perfect timing holy crap!!

 

My nvidia shield k1 tablet is crying.

XDA normally frowns on placeholder threads.

Looking forward to the release. I`m just wondering why a placeholder would be made and left for 5 days?

Better to release / build an OP all-in-one I would have thought. Prevent the RELLEEEEEEEASEEEE NOW MOfO idiots spamming...

 

I wonder if it would be better to wait for this instead of dual booting with lakka. I assume emulation would be good with this.

 

Is it possible to install this on the same memory card im using now or is it better to just put this on it's own memory card?

 

Finally i can install a good antivirus client on my switch ...............

 

You have to use a separate SD card for Android.

Are you serious? Antivirus on Android is absolutely unnecessary.

 

IT was implied ,...... or was it ?

 

I'd like to think we might be able to just have multiple partitions, but hey that's just a thought
