Owners of the Nintendo Switch portable gaming system and Android enthusiasts would find it interesting to hear that Android 10 has just been unofficially ported to the Switch. We are grateful to the SwitchRoot development team for making it easy to install the LineageOS 17.1 version for Android 10 on your Nintendo Switch system, if desired.
You’ll need a PC, a high-speed microSD card (formatted to FAT32), an RCM-exploitable Nintendo Switch, and a USB-C cable in order to install this build. Make sure to back up your data before installing the Android 10 build if you already have Android 8.1 Oreo installed on your SD card because flashing this new ROM will erase all of your data. If you use an Xbox controller, flash the Xbox Joycon Layout ZIP, Google Apps package, and Alarm Disable ZIP after flashing the ROM itself.
