Hacking Switchroot Android 10 Q Guide

[The_Chaotician]

I installed the Android TV ROM instead of the tablet ROM before i found this guide.

If i want to uninstall/reinstall the ROMs do i need to start again from a fresh Fat32 SD Card?

Edit: Sorted. As well as reboot to payload - just root access to go! Thanks for the guide!

If you think its so easy, why not do it yourself?

is it just me or wired headphones aren't working? Android keeps using the speaker even when headphones are plugged in.

Solved it by restarting with headphones connected

If I want to switch to the Docked version do I just flash the TV image with Hekate? Or do I have to repartition my SD? I don't care if my current Android install gets wiped, as long as I don't have to reinstall Ubuntu, EmuNAND and everything else.

EDIT: Also it takes well over a minute for it to boot into the OS from Hekate, is that normal? Would I be better off reinstalling it anyways?

I'd like to start over, but i don't want to partition the SD again, because this will wipe my EmuMMC Partition as well. Is there a way to wipe only the android partition and start again? When i use flash Android it does 3 steps and asks to reboot but then the screen stays black.

For those asking - I was able to get rid of my android partition only by booting into TWRP and wiping system memory (not sd card!) and then flash the rom of the lineageOS version you want.

It is possible to dual boot 2 version of Android 10? Tablet mode and TV mode? If yes, how? Thanks!

Well its pretty easy if you set up two SD cards. Not sure how to partition to fit both onto one.

I was thinking about that. But i want dual boot on the same SD card

IIRC Android recognises most of its partitions by the partition name, so you wouldn't be able to have two completely separated versions of Android without recompiling a custom version to use different partition names.

Hey trying to get GTA SA and bully to run on my switch. I just installed Andriod but I cant get anything to download from the store. Is there a way to install via files from the memory card?

20, install games apps via usb or just use the google play store
(can't use play store nothing will download)

Will only download to my phone when I download from the switch

What are the CPU/GPU/RAM clocks for the performance mode?

Does performance mode distinguish between handheld and docked / charging use cases?

The devs over at the Atmosphere Sys-clk threads advise that despite the SOC's considerable headroom, the limitations of the board render GPU frequencies in excess of 460 highly detrimental to the battery if untethered from the dock/charger, with the official build of sys-clk limiting the GPU clock to 460 in that untethered context accordingly.

It seems that older versions of Android on Switch (Oreo 8.1 based Lineage etc.) offered different selectable power profiles (with different clocks) in the battery settings but I can't seem to find anything equivalent in Android 10 on Switch. I can enable performance mode, but when I then go to battery, the only further feature I can enable is extreme battery saver.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi guys I just installed it and it works flawlessly. I have a question about Game Pass app on it. Switch had some bad time trying to running the app but after few minutes I've managed to go through with it. I have one issue. The game is not showing up in full screen there's some space left on the bottom. Do you know if I can fix it somehow? Sorry if it's wrong post to ask such questions.

Press home, gamepass go to picture in picture and than tap on the small window and it will go fullscreen

How can Android be set up later if a corresponding Android partition was already created during an earlier emuMMC setup via Hekate?

Copy the ROM and flashable zips to your SD Card and continue with the steps after dumping your Joy Con info. If the partition exists it should be recognised in the Hekate partition manger. Just dont change the partitions and flash Android.

Is there a working way to make all the apps access the FAT partition?
