Hacking Switchroot Android 10 released

[Deleted User]

it works pretty well! really good experience.
its sad that the shield games dont work though. (as i had bought half life 2 before on the first android version - which worked on that - i tried it on android 10. it installs fine and starts fine but crashed after some seconds on the valve logo - i guess the licence checks appear then and those calls might not be implemented? i could be wrong though) so i can confirm that those games dont work.

but other than that it is pretty awsome.

Can somebody tell me how good Pokemon games with drastic emulator work in fast forward mode with Android 10? Is ist better than with android 9?

 

[soaresden]

Just installed it without any issues !
20/256 Go allocated to android

All Ok, now the magic with kodi and some emulator like Dolphin and DuckStation !

Anyway, I would love to see someone release an apk to boot to payloads (SX os survivant here)

One little thing I didn't see mentioned is great USB support out of the box. USB ports on the official dock work, an 8bitdo directly plugged into the USB-C slot worked, and there's also a default directory exposed for MTP when connected to a PC.

For me the sleep mode is not working. Battery draining really fast. Anyone with the same problem?

Did you flash the no-alarm zip?

Did you flash the no-alarm zip?

Yes I did.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the sleep mode is when the switch screen is locked, right? Do I have to do anything else to go into sleep mode?

Question. What happened to the GBATEMP moderators? Normally they would delete your post for not adding instructions or guides and redirecting to other sites as if it were SPAM. But they are very relaxed with so many post garbage.

Does anyone know why the instructions urge to not use the default Windows extractor ? And why specifically 7-zip ?

Apparently their have been errors extracting properly for the original release builds. The (broken do not use) files some people were having issues extracting.
The first set were released archived in linux, the second using windows. 7zip seemed to work well for everyone, although the newer zipped files that were released should work well with most extracting apps, 7zip has been recommended.

Is there a way to have an android partition & emummc partition in one sdcard?

Because that site is the OFFICIAL site for this project (not here), and they have the full instructions, maybe? Copying and pasting is 1) Plagiarism, and 2) pointless, since you'd have to go there to get all of the files anyway. It's best to grab the files WHILE following the official guide. The OP was an announcement, not a tutorial. If you want a tutorial, go look in that forum. If you want an official news post, go there. You happen to be reading this in a sub-forum of Switch DISCUSSIONS.

Thought this was asked and answered already, but that may have been a different thread. In short: yes.

Nyx lets you setup your card that way. I hope you have a very large card though. It probably will NOT work with a partition-based sx emummc.

Well I wasted a few hours getting my emunand working again after restoring it to my newly partitioned card, just because I forgot to fix archive bits but first dabble with Android 10 seems really nice. Will have to try some streaming out later.

just got this working in about 10 minutes, and now i have no idea what to use it for haha

Suggestions :
You can also use USB Disk drive to play movies, plays roms or stock some apk's

- Kodi / Vavoo for TV et multimedia
- Android Exclusives Games
- Emulation Gamecube + Wii (I tried Prince of persia GC and Twilight Princess on Wii, it's actually 2/3 playable)
- Duckstation for PSX (no core on Retroarch actually)
- Security device if you lost everything and need to generate a Google Token later ?

-... that's what I did for now

I have a question for everyone; is it possible to use Hekate as a bootloader and choose either to boot into stock or into Android? No EmuNAND or HOS software or anything like that.

I have no problem getting into Hekate but I don't know how to (or if it's possible to) boot into full stock SysNAND without requiring Atmosphere...

(Edit) for example, this is a template bootloader entry for stock in Hekate but it still boots with Fusee-secondary.bin:

{-------- Stock -------}
[Stock]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
# This disables kernel patching and CFW kips.
# Includes exosphere and warmboot, ONLY when >= 7.0.0 and Erista.
# Includes exosphere on Mariko.
# Exosphere/warmboot are not identifiable as it is now.
# This is the closest to OFW, especially when AutoRCM is needed.

Thanks for this, just successfully setup my 128GB sdcard to have a 32GB android partition and 29GB EmuMMC. The only thing I don't like about hekate's EmuMMC partitioning is that windows detects the partition as corrupted and prompts me to reformat it every time I insert it on my PC. Unlike NxNandManager's EmuMMC tool where the emummc partition is hidden from windows.

 

[YoTones]

this is freaking amazing, so much to do with android and its seemless transition since you can boot back to the bootloader after use

Awesome, I've been waiting for this for a long time. I plan on using my Switch as an all around gaming, web browsing, media playing and writing device on an around the world bicycle tour. If covid ever ends that is.
