Switch LineageOS compatibility
I want to know who has tried what on the switch running Android to see what is currently compatible and what works with the joycons. So far I have tested:Portal - works perfectlyBorderlands 2 - boots but gets stuck on a window saying failed to verify licence even though it is a legit copy from the play store. The issue seems to happen on the shield as well.Bully and Gta Sa - Runs perfectly but the joysticks are not recognizedNetflix - works if you side load the apk from apk mirror.Dolphin (mmj) - joysticks don't work but you can map the dpad to control the stick. Smash melee is playable on full performance profile and emulated cpu speed set to 20 - 40.Epsxe - Tested CTR, runs flawlessly on balanced profile. Joysticks also work.

Suggestion for updates on the android port. This is simply a discussion.
This are my problems experienced while using the port for 2 daysFirst of all. The battery drains so fast even when im on balanced mode. And charging the switch is so slow. Maybe a battery optimization should be included in the next update and should be priority.The touch screen. Can barely play android games with sweaty hands because of the sensitivity of the screen. This should be a priority too.Play store. It stops the download automatically on slow connections.Deep sleep. Not really a big problem but combined with the poor battery optimization, it becomes a nightmare.The screen sometimes cannot be touched after sleep.Joycons. I think there is no way to use the 2 joycons as 1 because of the seperate connections. I know there is still no way to use this as a single controller on android. Not a big problem. But it would be sweet if this happens.Upload and download speed on the notifications bar stays at 0. Not really a problem because we can live without thisThese are the problems that i experienced. I hope it is fixed in the next update.

If you are upgrading from 6.2.0 to 8.1.0 on ReiNX, please read
Just a heads up; I had spent half the day trying to figure this out, so hopefully this helps someone.If you are like me, and have waited this long to upgrade, and finally decided to do so, here are some tips:Assuming you are still on Reinx v2.0, you probably are thinking you can go straight to v2.4, which has firmware 8.1.0 support, well you can’t, trying to boot using the 2.4 reinx bin will stop at the splash screen.instead, you must move to reinx 2.2, which will still support firmware 6.2.from reinx 2.2, use chudujoirNX to upgrade to 8.0.1.now pop that SD card out of your switch and back into your computer and drag and drop/update your files to reinx 2.4, which should now boot your switch up properly from RCM.NOW YOU CAN UPDATE TO 8.1.0!!that’s all, just thought i would share the info as it will save you a lot of time and frustration. hope it helps

Hello /r/switchhaxing! I have created the subreddit /r/SwitchRoot to aggregate all Android for switch information. I won't be able to make too many changes to it until later tonight, but feel free to start collecting data, asking questions, and generally discussing Android on Switch!As I have already posted over on /r/switchhacks, I dont want to necessarily prompt this community to all move over there, or even remove any posts from here, but rather make a place where we can have focused discussion of Android on Switch and ask questions.
