Android 11 for Nintendo Switch. This is a public beta release of Switchroot Android 11/R, based on LineageOS 18.1, on all Switch models.

Switchroot is a community project that aims to bring Android to the Nintendo Switch, allowing users to access Android apps and games on their consoles.

Refer to Switchroot Wiki for the complete guide, it covers the necessary steps to set up Android 11 on the Switch.

Known issues

  • Docking sometimes requires undocking and redocking and some weird displays sometimes don't work--this will improve with updates.
  • Docking sometimes defaults to a stupid resolution--just adjust in the Switch Configuration app.
  • IMU seems to be broken on all devices--no support is planned for the Invensense IMU found in the OLED, but the STM ones should work--not sure why they don't.
  • CEC does not work.
  • Volume UI does not work due to platform bug.
  • RSMouse is not included.
  • Shield TV Remote trackpad does not work.
  • Framebuffer logging does not work in our U-Boot, so if you get a hang due to improper board initialization (modchip error), nothing will print--this should be fixed in an update.
  • adb, mtp, etc. do not work when USB3 is disabled.
  • First boot after an in-place upgrade may result in a crash or immediate reboot to recovery--this should only be temporary, and you should be able to somewhat safely ignore this.
  • Poor performance on Erista upgrades has been reported--try a clean install if you experience this, and note that there may be some Erista perf issues overall--if we find the source we will fix in a follow-up update.
  • Joycons do not turn off in sleep automatically, make sure to turn them off by tapping the 'sync' button on side.

Changelog
