Just one question, what if you put the Android switch on the dock? It works or will it work? I guess no touch control, but maybe with buttons?
Nope, we have a usb c port driver but it is incomplete and doesn't seem to correctly activate the altmodeJust one question, what if you put the Android switch on the dock? It works or will it work? I guess no touch control, but maybe with buttons?
It was mentioned before - second one. First one is not possible. But it can be made an app to reboot to Android from HOS ATM 0.8.4.Is this running as homebrew or similar to lakka (separate install on a fat 32 card)?
No Android should not get ported to the switch and it's not that easy. Without source code for the switch and drivers it won't work. It's a waste of time
And I can guarantee you that Nintendo will not release the kernel source for the switch.
Kill this crap thread
Heck i'm glad about this. seems like a lot of people said there is no use for an android OS on a switch, and this is a great reason why we need one.Android on the Switch might not be necessary, but it would be nice to use the Switch as a more general tablet. After all, who wants to carry around their Switch AND a tablet just so they can browse the web, watch videos, chat etc. on a bigger screen than their phone? Android on the Switch is a good idea for the same reasons that owning a tablet when your phone can run the same apps is a good idea, and if you're like me then you already bring your Switch with you so you don't have to carry anything extra.
Also, while you can in theory do a lot of the same things just through homebrew, the Android offerings will always be more feature rich and polished, just as a result of having a much bigger community and having existed for much longer.
Some pros:
- Better standalone emulators like Drastic, Robert Broglia emulators, Project 64, ePSXe, Standalone PPSSPP (better than retroarch's version).
- Some decent Android games
- Web browser/media apps and communication like Skype
- Customization
It can switch identities
First one is already possible (ATM 0.8.4). Second one is not impossible, but will be hard to get this to work for Switch for now (there is already something like this in x86 Android ports where you can reboot to Windows directly, but they are working on different principle than Switch ).So you could go atmosphere > reboot to payload (android)
then when you're done reboot to payload (atmosphere)?

All of the emulators you listed would run better in horizon because horizon as an operating system uses less resources than android. All comes down to developers putting in the time.Some pros:
