Hi everyone. I would like to install android and keep my cfw on EMMC.

I have CFW running on EMMC instead of EMUMMC. Currently I'm running on 128GB SD card.

I've tried searching everywhere on how to install android in this setup but didn't found anything. Mostly the setup will be CFW on EMUMMC not EMMC.

So my questions are:

1. How do i backup my cfw that located on emmc through hekate before partitioning my sd card?
2. How do i partition my sd card? Do i need to set both emummc partition and android partition or just set for android partition? How much do i need to set for each partition?
3. If successful, how do i switch between those two systems? I know how to boot to android from cfw through hekate because I've already familiar with that but how to boot to hekate from android though?

Sorry if my enquiry is too long. Thanks for your help in advance.
 
I can answer some but not all of your questions

1. Simply copy everything from your SD card to your computer. Simple file copy is enough for the backup
2. Use Hekate to partition your SD card. Make a partition for Android (up to you how much space you want to use for that) and a fat32 partition that takes up the rest of the space. Then copy back the files to your SD card (fat32 partition)
3. I am not sure whether it is possible to reboot into Hekate from Android but you can always power off the Switch and power on again
