Hey guys, I have CFW and autoRCM on for my device on other micro sd cards. I am planning on using a whole new micro sd card to run android on. The thing is, how would I boot android on the new sd card since I have autoRCM on? I can’t disable it, as I need a way to downgrade in the future if I want to. I also am wondering if there is a ban possibility? I would assume you can use it online with no issues as it isn’t running the switch’s OS? Don’t want to get myself banned lol. I can figure out how to flash android to my micro sd I just need to know what I should do about booting it into android?

AutoRCM must be kept on at all times in order to preserve the fuses.
It has nothing to do with whether you can boot android or not.
You can boot android through hekate, autorcm would just make things easier for you
Here's a tutorial to get you started on how to set it up
By the by, i'd always recommend you to start fresh with a new sd card.

Okay, going to do it now. I’ll let you know how it went. Going to be doing the 128gb img on the 128gb card, and the stock GApps. If it would be better not to let me know.

GApps has not much of a huge impact on your android experience if you're not that reliant on google apps to get the job done. Any GApps package, namely one that has play store YouTube and the play services would suffice in my opinion.
Moreover having that many redundant apps running on the background only eats up ram and drains the battery faster.
Get the aroma installer of GApps and from there one select what apps you want&need and what you do not.

    An app exists for Android called Rekado which is a payload injector for the RCM exploit to work. Don't know if it's still active.

    @imafsiry, What method? Phone or RCM Loader?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @imafsiry You just install Rekado to your phone and then plug your Switch into your phone when it's in RCM mode. Rekado should automatically pop up on your phone and ask which payload you want to send.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @imafsiry You can also set it to auto launch the payload of your choice so no user input is even necessary.

  • TotalJustice @ TotalJustice:
    thats what i use also. works better if you launch hekate from rekado as you won't need to update the payload

  • TotalJustice @ TotalJustice:
    as hekate launches the latest payload on the sd card (unless the sent payload is newer)
