Hacking Question Android Switchroot

[masterpouret]

Hello everyone !
I'm new to the switch's hack and I'm installing the many exploits possible for the switch. Today I would like to try to install Android on my switch.
However before to do that I have few questions. I heard it was not possible first to have deep sleep mode with Android. But I wanted to know if they installed an update for this recently ?

Also, If I'm installing the current version of android on my switch, is it easy to update to the new version which may be made for Android on switch ? Or will I have to install again Android from start each time like the first time ?

Is there someone who could send to me a link for a good tutorial for installing it and a link of the latest version if possible ? Thank you very much.

The actual released version is based on android 8 (oreo) and doesn't support deep sleep. This will be fixed on the next release based on android 9 (pie), but there is not yet a public build because it's still in developement, you can try it compiling this new version from sources, but this may have unexpected bugs and broken funcionalities.

Thank you very much for your answer !
So for now the new release of l4t seems maybe more convenient to use ?

Is it easy to use l4t with SX OS ?

You need hekate to launch l4t, it's a loader that works trought RCM, and a dedicated sd for ubuntu.

SX OS is independent of l4t so don't worry about it.

Thank you for your explanation ! Actually I tried to install Lakka on my switch for retro arch emulation. I wanted to try some emulators I heard runs very well on lakka, but every emulator I tried, didn't work or was very slow.

I wanted to try the ds Emulation, but I couldn't run game on melonds core and also I wanted to try some sega Saturn games, but I didn't succeed to boot any game.

My switch home led also turned blue but even if the hardware is closed now , it's still blue and don't go away. What can I do to solve this ?

Thank you guys.

does this run better than the current switch root?

To answer your question: Thats not very hard. Switchroot runs more than shitty. (Respect to the devs tho who put much effort into that!)
