Can I partition my onboard Switch storage and install in onto my onboard Switch storage? lol
Yes but you have to MANUALLY partition it to the nand with gparted. You wont be able to use hekate at all for this partitioning. Nor can you use the Flash Android button to update anything.

Hi, it seems like everyone installed the tablet one instead of android TV.

I installed the TV one and I don't have any option to plug in USB because the application is missing from the store. Any idéa to do it?

Also, if I install the tablet one, will I be able to dock it?

OK I will try, how did you transfer data? Because on USB the partition is not showed

Hmm not sure to be fair. Its been a while since i used android on my switch.

I think i used a otg USB C to USB 2 adapter and plugged in my USB stick to the switch itself. I think that worked because i vaguely remember transferring gamecube games over

How to delate android and the allocated partition for Android on my SD card without formating?

I tried its fun but ps2/gamecube and wii emulation is very experimental and en even Android games don't run well so I don't need

Also is fat32 slower than exFat in term of game charging?

Hi, great tutorial there. Just want to ask is it possible to access HOS partition directly from 3rd part apps? Since PKHEX can be installed and use on Exagear. So I'm wondering that I can edit directly from android

Going to ask a very noob question here because I don't want to screw anything up
I have an SD with atmosphere CFW that I boot to via Hekate.
I've backed up my NAND via Hekate.
I've backed up the contents of my SD card to my PC (the partition that windows recognizes at least).
So if I follow the guide I'll be able to boot into
1 - Official Firmware
2 - Atmosphere via Hekate
3 - Android via Hekate?
Just a bit scared of hitting that partition and format button, it doesn't mess with the OFW in any way?

Is it possible to create the new partition without loosing the emuMMC?

If not, do I have to create another partition for that? 32gb is enough?
