Awesome. I will try out but isn't Android 9 Pie and Android 10Q?

• "Maximum: Android 9 (Q) "

 

[developer_su]

You're right! Thanks =)

I just googled for SDK 29 and it said Android Q..

UPD: Hmm.. Looked on description again and fixed few more typos. Good catch!

These games sound incredible, I'll have to look them up.

This app is great to see, I expect I'll still be doing most of my installs from computer but it's nice to have the option! Good work.

 

[linuxares]

You crazy... Nice!

 

[trashfloozy]

Bruh, how'd you get a hold of Something-Something Falling Bricks before it released?

(Seriously, amazing work though. It's a nice thing to have.)

 

[developer_su]

Thanks for feedback!!
I'm going to have a trip soon and won't take laptop with me. So it's kinda workaround. Glad it's not useless =)

@developer_su I see your a very talented dev within this field is there any chance you can develop an easy app that connects to your whole google drive account and simply connects to the sx/tinfoil installer on your switch with IPAddress/port/password etc.. very similar to what lgma does that was supposed to be fixed but the latest release is broken there’s no .exe file in the zip folder. Is this possible? Just a basic no frills application that would be so essential nowadays.

I'm an iPhone user but this app is awesome.

I wonder, when Android is released for the Switch will you be able to use Android on your Switch to install NSPs to your SD? That would be pretty cool.

Thank you. I assume you're talking about some SX application/tool and 'new' TinFoil (not Adubbz). I'm not using it. And I never heard about lgma, so I didn't understand about .exe and .zip.
Well, I don't really want to write anything for SX or 'new' TinFoil. Please let me know if I missed or misunderstood something.

Well, no idea to be honest.

the concept of the app sounds sweet, and there is a 100% chance i will have it installed, but unfortunately, because of lifestyle changes, i would probably never get to use it to my advantage.

however, in my mind, i was really hoping this would be a possibility someday. and now it is!

Thank you!

After installing games with this, my phone says there's more data being taken up even though I deleted the nsp files beforehand. I couldn't find it through any files app but there's about 4gb of space just being taken somehow and the only change was installing an nsp file on my switch. Any help on that?

I don't think that's what he asked, nor how it works.
It has nothing to do with SXOS or Tinfoil, even if it's working alongside it.

LGMA is a computer side apps, working as a proxy to game installer. instead of selecting a folder where you have your nsp/xci file, you can mount your private google drive instead. it's serving your remote drive as a local folder for any apps.
it'll be of great help for an android app, because you won't have to copy your nsp from PC to Phone before installing to the console, you'll just see your nsp from your google drive's space and install directly to console.
Maybe a similar app already exists, or maybe you need to make your tool compatible with google drive protocol, I don't know.


Anyway, thank you for this app
If I ever want to install an nsp, I won't have to deal with zadig usb drivers on computer!

 

[developer_su]

@Cyan, thank you for clarification.

Maybe I'll do it in future and for google drive.

Gianno released something working with google drive directly on the console, but it only for tools supporting SSL. (currently, only nut/new tintfoil)
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tinson-a-website-for-install-nsp-directly-on-switch-with-tinfoil.544238/

but if you can do it too, the more option the better
Thanks for thinking about it.

I didn't test this app with size greater then 4Gb if you're talking about it.

Well, for 'classic' TinFoil in desktop app I already have support for nginx/Apache (and other?) servers as a source-storage for NET-installs.. (it's not trivial, but it works). So the same feature will be added to android version as well. As for the link you provided: it's an application for 'another' TinFoil I won't touch and it works a bit different.

Hi, haven't tested this yet but does this work with uploading game updates/DLCs?

Can you update also the mobile loader to goldleaf 0.6.1 ?
