Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I really am stuck and didnt know what else to do.
I have managed to get android on my switch. First I used the stock version of GAPPS and that was fine, but it kept crashing. So I downloaded nano gapps. Now this runs much better, but as soon as setup loads it become apparent that I have no keyboard, just voice activation. I've looked in the settings and can find that there is no virtual keyboard I can select and I cannot toggle voice activation.
Second of all, upon skipping all the settings because I have no keyboard, it then loads into android but is stuck on the "andorid is starting screen". It will stay like this for over an hour if leave it and would probably just contiune.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to download another version of GAPPS? Do I need to do a clean install? if so how?
I'm lost and can't seem to get any info on how to fix my problem :-(
Thanks in advance.
Rach
(PS Will post some picture from my phone shortly)

Thats baffling...

Android always comes with a keyboard gapps or not. Redownload the install image, and install again via etcher, would be my best guess.

Alos - read the Switchroot thread in here - there were some issues with afaik 'higher speed' sdcards and etcher, that didnt seem quite ironed out yet. So maybe 14 USD into a new sdcard would solve all of your issues.

Found the answer in the end. Has to re-install the image again, it was due to the fact that I had tried to install gaps again after doing the initial setup. Spoke to the switchroot team on discord and they were able to help. It was a tricky problem though. Thanks for replying

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
