Switchroot Android 14 (Q) and 15 (V) are fully upstream LineageOS 21 and 22.1 releases supporting all SKUs (odin/v1, modin/v2, vali/Lite, fric/OLED)
Kernel: Downstream Switchroot L4T kernel, rebased on rel-shield-r kernel-4.9 and r35 kernel-nvidia, kernel-nvgpu
Blobs: Shield Experience 9.2.0
To install official release or install, please follow the official LineageOS guide for your device:
Tablet:
Android TV:
For an eMMC install (supported but not official), follow our 14, 15 eMMC Boot Guide
For full Nintendo controller remapping, toggling of analog trigger emulation, and more, use the interface in the Switch Configuration app. To toggle right-stick mouse, use the screenshot button.
To customize system options, see the 14, 15 INI Settings Guide--note that enabling DDR200 can cause issues for unsupported cards, but is enabled by default on all Samsung.
Android provides a Performance Mode setting in the Switch Configuration App. This enables full kernel clock scaling for CPU and GPU, limited by the overclocking enable node in sysfs and any max clocks set for your SKU.
RAM, CPU, and GPU overclocking are supported as of 4/6/25 update. See 14, 15 INI Settings Guide for details. Note that for CPU and GPU OC, Performance Mode is required.
For sysfs nodes and other power user utilities, see 14, 15 Power User Docs. If you don't understand you probably don't need it.
