I've made a tutorial on how to use Switchroot's Android as a Desktop! You can check it here: https://github.com/AndusDEV/AndroidDesktop-NX

It uses Android 10's Desktop Mode feature and farmerbb's "Taskbar" launcher.

If been looking into using my switch as an emulator and was wondering if I could still use my switch as a switch if I were to go through with the jailbreak.

So basically I was using the android boot from icosa and left my switch on with the screen off over night. Now my switch is not powering on not showing the charging logo, just a blacks screen even after charging with the Nintendo charger for 24h from different outlets. Please someone help me I also tried different chargers still nothing. TLDR: V1 switch with autoRMC off showing no signs of life after running out of power in android boot.

I just installed Android 11 on my Switch Lite and was wondering how I can map buttons to on-screen controls for games that don't support controllers. I tried using Mantis Pro since I use that on my phones but it's not working properly here on the Lite.

I'm new to Switchroot and am currently using A11TV beta 2 on my erista switch. I am getting frequent stutters whenever I try to watch content on apps like Netflix or HBO Max. It's normal for a few minutes, and then brief bursts of video stutter start, mixed with moments of normal video. This is also Widevine L3 content, so 540p at most. Are these bugs related to the beta, or are SD cards just that much slower? I also tried performance mode in Switch configuration and it didn't help. This is a fresh install of the beta
