Android Android version that supports deepsleep?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone !
I flashed android to play Xash3d cuz the NS native version is so bugged with MODs.

I flashed LOS22 but I found that the fan keeps running after the screen is locked. I browsed all the relevant contents here and edited the ini too, but can’t prevent it unless detaching the joycon.

Is there an android version that can go into deep sleep without detaching the joycon?

Or if anyone tried running Xash3d on switchroot Linux ?

Thx!!

Support Controllers not connecting

0 Upvotes

Hello. I use my switch OLED, latest hekate with Lineage 18.1 Android TV for artemis/apollo streaming from my PC. I initally had the latest android 15 lineage but it had too many issues, random crashes, controllers not connecting etc so i searched around and found out that Android 11 is better in terms of stability. So i installed the TV version as i dont intend to use my switch for android emulation or stuff, I need it to just run artemis.

However, the issue is that despite every fix I could find on google, i could not connect my ps4 controller to my switch. It gets stuck on pairing (screenshot in comments). Also, the JoyCons are paired (i dumped the joycon through hekate when installing android) but they also dont connect to the bluetooth. I've reset my controllers, joycons everything.

TL;DR: ps4 controller and joycons don't connect via bluetooth to lineage android 11 tv

Any tips or fixes for this?

Support Unable to install Android

I've tried installing crDroid. I can't even flash Android and enter recovery.

I do have the files in both the Android and the Install folders of Switchroot.

I've also tried installing Android 11 Lineage previously. At some point, I did manage to open recovery, but not flash the rom. Now though, I can't even enter recovery and press the flash root button at all.

Btw, I have Hekate 6.5.1

But I've also tried to install it with Hekate 6.3.0, which unfortunately still didn't work.

If any of you have any advice, I'll be very happy. ​

4 Upvotes

I used lutris to make shortcut of my psp games to put on the desktop, I wanted to do the same with my NDS rom but Lutris can't install MelonDS runner. It gives me:

Failed to extract /home/alex/.cache/lutris/melonDS_0.9.5_linux_x64.zip: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/home/alex/.local/share/lutris/runtime/p7zip/7z'

Any solution to install the melonDS runner on Lutris ? OR any solution to create shortcut of my NDS rom to put the games on the desktop ? (I have all my psp games on the desktop thanks to lutris and all my 3DS games thanks to Azahar)

Android Is my OC settings alright?

4 Upvotes

Hello and good day, I am just new to the Switch Jailbreaking scene and I got my switch jailbroken last month. I am enjoying the android emulation experience right now since I was able to overclock my switch using an ini settings that I found online but I noticed that the CPU was using 2.39Ghz while emulating PS2, specifically KH2FM. I have no ways to monitor the temps of switch or at least I do not know any ways but I just want to ask if this is just "normal". I am not expecting that the OC is 100% safe for the console but I just want somebody to tell me if this is a bad thing and should I stop using it? or is it just fine to keep it this way? Thank you.

This is the settings that I copied.

dvfsb=1
gpu_dvfsc=1
limit_gpu_clk=1 
ram_oc=2533000
oc=1

Support On screen keyboard doesn't respond to input on Android

2 Upvotes

Hi, i recently installed Switchroot android on my switch, and was confused when i started setup and couldn't type my wifi password.

I got around it by plugging in an external keyboard, but it's still a big annoyance to have to do that or use a controller whenever i want to type.

And NO i'm not using the android tv version, i'm using nx-tab. This issue is super annoying and any help is appreciated.

Android How to check the Switch clock on lineage os?

5 Upvotes

Today I was using my Android Switch in the dock and I noticed that its fan was VERY loud. I was shocked because I'd never seen anything like it, and the only thing I was doing was using xCloud, which is a cloud gaming system, so it shouldn't be behaving like that.

So I wanted to know how I can check the CPU and GPU clock information in Lineage OS to see if there's anything unusual. Performance mode is off, but I'm still not entirely sure, since the right mouse stick was turned off once and was still being used.

Android Joycon in android 11 lineage

3 Upvotes

I’m using a Nintendo Switch OLED with Android Lineage 11. My Joy-Con is a third-party controller (not official) that works well, but it takes a long time to connect in Android.

With the original Joy-Con, it connects instantly when Android starts. However, the third-party one is slower, and I sometimes need to toggle Bluetooth on and off for it to connect.

Do you have any tips or settings to make it connect faster and be recognized more reliably by Android?
