Finally, I finished creating my scripts & kernel for booting a rom on SD Card. Dual boot kernels, preinstalled roms, setup scripts, instructions are available below.
How to make a rom on SD Card
Requirements: 3.1 GB of free space on your internal SD Card.
New method to set up the rom, fast and easy. You can now boot 5 different roms
Here is some new kernels you can try, but the setup in the Aroma v2.3c package below

Hydracore v6.2 beta3 OC - dualboot kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/?0w852y7hl5yf8k8
Hydracore v5.4 - dualboot kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/?iawqi5picfcb9sm -STD
http://www.mediafire.com/?w18xigwkd9ya4no -OC
Download this current Aroma version
Version 2.3c http://www.mediafire.com/?5ym62wr7kta1u2o
- Added Timeout 15 seconds for the Boot Menu
- Fixed issue with the rom3 external in the Boot Menu
- Added Option to fix root in page 2 of the tools section.
Version 2.3b http://www.mediafire.com/?g3g8hdc2n0j3u9v
- Added Hydracore v4.3b kernels
- For some users, if you don't see the bootsdrom.cfg in the \sdcard\SDRoms folder, simply extract it from the Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v2.3b.zip (in the Default folder) and put the bootsdroms.cfig in the \sdcard\SDRoms to enable the dualboot roms.
- For some users, if you want to show the boot menu, you can put an empty file named "bootmenu_on" in the \sdcard\SDRoms folder.
Version 2.1b http://www.mediafire.com/?7aqibjh5nhgnh6m
- Added Hydracore v4.1b kernels
- Possible fix for the bootsdrom.cfg not being extracted for some users
Version 2.0 http://www.mediafire.com/?y0gsnzmwb7e8r6z
- Added Hydracore v3-5 kernels
- Fixed issue setting up the rom partition images on the external SDCard.
Version 1.9-1 http://www.mediafire.com/?foumtinhrhid2c6
- fixed the issue that the STD kernel always being flashed when select the OC one.
Version 1.9 http://www.mediafire.com/?ykvjahj8d32pcdv
- Added Hydracore v3-1 both OC and STD versions.
- Add boot menu options. This can be turned on and off in the "Set Default Booting Rom" section in the dualboot Aroma.
- More checking in the mount partitions tool to make sure we don't mess-up the phone rom. Again, if you see any error, don't flashing any rom/mod, otherwise it will mess up the main phone rom.
Version 1.8 http://www.mediafire.com/?lpxesvw31u3es6a
- Use a new method to mount the partitions for a rom on SDCard. Now you can directly flash new roms without messing up the phone rom.
- Clean up other versions, they seem to be obsolete now.
How to setup and flash a new rom for booting from SDCard
Please follow the instructions below, this is the most easiest ever!!! There is no need to modify the rom or mod before flashing with my tool.
1. Back up your data (just in case)
2. Reboot to recovery and flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip
- Select Tools section. Then select the rom slot you want. If this is the first time you use that rom slot you need to setup system, data, and cache images for the rom. In page 1 of the tool, check "Setup System" and "Setup data & cache" to setup the images. You need to do this only one time
- In page 2, select "Wipe system", "Wipe data", and "Wipe cache"
-And the most important one, select "Mount Partitions". Don't forget to select "Mount Partitions" otherwise it will overwrite the data and mess up your phone rom.
-Press Next until complete, and don't reboot the phone. (If you see any error, reboot in to recovery and try again)
3. Make sure you don't see any error in the step 2. then you can now flash any rom you like as normal. It will be flashed to the rom slot you just select in the step 2. Don't reboot after complete because you need to flash a dualboot kernel after.
4. Flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip again, then select "Set Default Booting Rom", then select the same rom slot in step 2.
- Then select "SDCard" as default, and select "Don't Share"
- Then click "Yes" for the popup "Flash a Dualboot Kernel?" to flash a dualboot kernel. You have to flash a dual-boot kernel because in step 3, the kernel has been changed after flashing a new rom.
- Next select "HydraCore v1-7" this can boot most roms, Or you can choose "Goku v1.5-11" only CM9 & TW.
- Click "Next" till the end, and reboot the phone.
5. Now the phone should boot in to a rom on your SDCard.
Tips: To switch the rom, flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip again, and then select "Phone" as default in the "Set Default Booting Rom" section.
Or you can keep pressing and un-pressing the HOME BUTTON at boot.
Enjoy flashing and new roms, and good luck to you!!!!!
Here is the tutorial how to flash mods/themes, just a little bit different from flashing the rom.
1. Back up your data (just in case), you may also backup the rom folder in the SDRoms folder you want to flash a mod.
2. Reboot to recovery and flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_vXX.zip
- Select Tools section. Then select the rom slot you want. Skip Page 1, Then in page 2, select "Wipe dalvik-cache" only
-And the most important one, select "Mount Partitions". Don't forget to select "Mount Partitions" otherwise it will overwrite the data and mess up your phone rom.
-Press Next until complete, and don't reboot the phone. (If you see any error, reboot in to recovery and try again)
3. Make sure you don't see any error in the step 2. then you can now flash any mod you like as normal. It will be flashed to the rom slot you just select in the step 2.
- Click "Next" till the end, and reboot the phone.
4. Reboot the phone and boot the rom you want.
FAQ
1. I get an error, what should I do?
- Reboot into recovery, and start over
- If still get the error, Flash "HydraCore v1-7" kernel, and reboot into recovery, and start over
- If still get the error, save the recovery log and post it here.
2. How do I reset the rom on SDCard?
- Flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip, then select "Tools", select the rom slot you want to reset, skip page 1, then select "Wipe data", and "Wipe cache" in page 2. Then next until finish.

WARNING: I've tested and used my scripts and modified kernels on my phone without any problem. There is always a risk when flashing a kernel or a new rom, so flash as your own risk. I have no responsible for any damage to your phone
Pre-install Roms
To make it easier, I have some pre-install roms on SD Card for you guys. Just extract it then it's ready to go.
1. flash pre-install rom
2. flash dualboot kernel
3. reboot
Now you should be able to boot your current rom (samsung ics only) and the pre-install rom on your sd card. Keep press/unpress the home button at boot until you see the boot animation to switch the rom. Check the log and the config file in the SDRoms for more details.

Code:
Version 1.7 [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?5w03c1q49wppbgb[/url]
-Added HydraCore v1 - big thanks to g.lewarne who makes this universal kernel working for all roms TW, MIUI, CM9, CM10. Now you can use this kernel to dual boot any rom you want.
-Added latest CM10 kernel.
[SIZE="3"][B][COLOR="blue"]How to modify rom and directly flash it using the Mount Partitions Tool[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE].
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Most of MIUI,CM9,CM10 roms have the format command which is not safe for directly flashing a rom on SD Card. Follow this instruction to remove the format command.[/COLOR]
1. Extract the rom
2. Then edit the file META-INIF\com\google\android\updater-script using Notepad++
3. Take out the format command [B]format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "0");[/B] if there is any
You may also take out all the mount, unmount, kernel flashing, and modem flashing or any command that is related to mmcblk.
4. Compress/Zip the rom back. Now you have the modified rom.
5. Now it ready to flash using the mount tools. Boot recovery, run my dualboot aroma, select tools.., select a rom to flash, in page 1 select wipe system, data, and cache, then in Page 2 select mount partitions for rom on SDCard. Don't reboot after run the script. If don't see any error or fail. Then go ahead flash the modified rom. It should directly flash it into the rom you just pick. Now flash a dualboot kernel you like and enjoy your new roms.
Note: Do the same for any mod, except you don't need to modify the mod, just run the mount tool and flash the mod.
[SIZE="3"][B][COLOR="blue"]How to Setup[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
1. Flash a rom you want, make sure follow the instructions of the rom you want to flash. Otherwise you will get a brick.
2. Run (flash) Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_vXX.zip, then select Tools, then select rom slot (1 out of 5 slots) you want, then select "Copy system to SDCard" and "Wipe data & cache". This tool will copy your current rom to SD Card and setup the data.img and cache.img for the rom on SDCard. I takes about 5 to 10 minutes to process. [COLOR="red"](don't reboot after completion)[/COLOR]
3. Repeat the step 1 & 2 if for the second, third, fourth, or fifth rom except you need to pick a new rom slot. [COLOR="red"](don't reboot after completion)[/COLOR]
4. Run (flash) Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_vXX.zip again. Select Default Booting Rom, then select the rom slot you want to boot, then select "SDCard" as default. Then Click Yes to flash a dualboot kernel, pick a kernel you want (make sure it's compatible with the rom you want to boot). [B]Now Reboot[/B], and the phone should boot into a rom on SDCard.

- Added Wipe Tools for the rom on SD Card
- Added Mount partition Tool for the rom on SD Card. This allows you to directly flash a rom or mod on the rom on SD Card. Now you can easily flash a new rom on SD Card, [COLOR="Red"]but be careful if you want to use this tool to flash CM9/CM10 roms. There's a format command there, you need to take out before flashing those roms.[/COLOR]
- Some fixes for the Tools sections.

-----------Old Method---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Backup your current rom and your data just in case something goes wrong and you can recover your data. You can skip this step if you don't need to save anything.
2. Flash any rom you want like you've been doing. This rom will be a rom on your internal SD Card. Just follow the guild from Dev's of the rom you want to flash. Be careful about EMMC brick, please don't wipe using an unsafe kernel. (Skip this step if you want your current rom to be the rom on your SD Card)
Some roms don't auto get root, so just to be sure you can flash this [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?8adhwsporsdd61w"]CWM-SuperSU-v0.95.zip[/URL]
3. Copy rom partition to internal SD Card. You can do it partially or all by flashing the following scripts.
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?te8soummj0b9iqv"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_system.zip[/URL] - copy system partition to SD Card. ([COLOR="Blue"]recommend flashing this only[/COLOR])
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4c6de3h1e8hx4po"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_data.zip[/URL] - copy data partition to SD Card. ([COLOR="Red"]not recommended[/COLOR] unless you want to copy your current apps & data to SD card and want to restore back from the rom on SD card later)
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vb5l6nc8qr4qlno"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_cache.zip[/URL] - copy cache partition to SD Card. [COLOR="Red"](not recommended[/COLOR], another script will take care of this)
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dvapmhow79pe1v0"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_all.zip[/URL] - copy all rom partitions to SD Card. ([COLOR="Red"]not recommended[/COLOR], take long time to do)
4. Flash [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7q8ml0muqhh930m"]sd_internal_rom1_wipe_data_cache.zip[/URL] to setup a blank data.img and cache.img for the rom on SD card. (only flash this if you didn't flash the above copy_rom_to_sdcard_data.zip and copy_rom_to_sdcard_cache.zip, or copy_rom_to_sdcard_all.zip)
5. Setup the config file for your rom on SD card.
- Flash [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x1jsiec6c7g78qk"]sd_rom_config_setup_3.2b_default_phoneRom.zip[/URL] to setup the config file for the SD Rom and boot your phone rom as default.
- Or Flash [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?318jat6mkpjjec5"]sd_rom_config_setup_3.2b_default_sdcardRom.zip[/URL] to setup the config file for the SD Rom and boot your rom on the SD Card as default.
[COLOR="Blue"] Remember: if the phoneRom and the sdcardRom are the same base, or same platform (CM9, or ICS, or GB). You can switch the rom by keep press/unpress the home button at boot. [/COLOR]
6. Flash dual boot support kernel to boot the rom on the sdcard. You can flash one of the flowing compatible kernels.
[COLOR="Red"]Remember: Do not flash the CM9 kernel to boot the Samsung ICS rom and versus [/COLOR]

7. Reboot and test the rom on your SD Card. Make sure you test both roms on the SD Card and your phone to make sure they are working.
8. Once you are able to boot the rom on the SD Card, You can now restore your old rom, or flash any new rom you want.
Remember: If my dual boot kernel doesn't support your new rom, you need to flash my dual boot support kernel to boot the rom on SD card, and you need to flash a compatible kernel with your phone rom to boot your phone rom back.
Please note that my current kernels with dual boot support work with Samsung ICS or CM9 roms. I have not tested them with any GB rom yet, so be careful when you flash them on a GB rom or a different platform rom.

- Add new kernel GL NOTECORE V8 with dual boot support [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?6p5wapyps7q5qe8"]download link[/URL]
- Re-word the instructions. Much simple and faster to set-up.
Version 3.2
- Updated to SpeedMod-K3-9 source
- Optimized booting time - (about 6 seconds faster than original SpeedMod-K3-9)
- Add feature to safely share data partition if the two roms are the same base but different mod/theme.
- Update SD Rom by extracting system and data folder to /sdcard/SDRoms/update/ - experiment (report if it works for you)
Version 3.1:
- Add feature to put the update.zip in the /sdcard/SDRoms/update/ folder for flashing a mod/theme on the SD Rom.
- Create a file "wipe_dalvik-cache" file in the /sdcard/SDRoms/update/ folder to wipe dalvik-cache on the SD Rom. (simple and fast)
or simply flash this [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?690wyv2zt5j7185[/url] ro wipe dalvik-cache on the SD Rom.
Version 3:
- Updated to SpeedMod-K3-7 source
- Add script to wipe data & cache for rom1 on SD Card. You can also save 1.1 GB space with this. This contains empty data and cache partition images and extract them on your SD Card. You can also save a lot of time & space by simply copy the system to sd card, and then flash sd_internal_rom1_wipe_data_cache.zip
Version 2:
- Updated to SpeedMod-K3-6 source
- Add default rom value in bootsdrom.cfg. Now you can set default rom (phone or sdrom) by changing the default value in the config file.
- Add CMW restore scripts to restore sdrom back to phone rom.
- Some minor tweaks.
Version 1:
- Initial release
- Fix the mounting bug (swaping external and internal sd card) - Kernel/CWM
Could you make an app?
It would be easy to make some $.
Not right now, this requires some kernel modification which is not easy to do in an application. The app may help to flash the rom on SD card faster and easier, but can't change the kernel itself.

Good luck for this project
Will try it out sometime...
Nice concept.. I always want to have dual boot for Samsung and AOSP/CM based ROM... But now, wait until we see a one-for-all kernel like siyah to be developed for our Notes..
Wow ! Waiting for such a thing !
Will install it and see ....
How can I delete the Rom on SD again, if I don´t want it anymore?
And to be sure the SD means the external SD.
thanks for answer
Edit: sorry to say, but ur links are 404 Error, can´t download anything
Just delete the SDRoms folder on your internal SD card. SD means internal SD. You can move it to external SD by changing the bootsdrom.cfg values.

With changing that value, is it possible to get triple boot?
I imagine to have:
- CM/AOKP in the main ROM
- custom ROM based on TW on internal SD
- official ROM on external SD.
Download link
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xc03yg1wjjzziys
I would give it a try if the download links would work
and thanks for the quick answer
I think it´s really cool to have two Roms on our Note to play with
Edit: too late, first Link is back again
CM/AOKP is not supported right now.
Here is an example of the values in the bootsdrom.cfg file
rom=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1
system=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1/system.img
data=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1/data.img
cache=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1/cache.img
After you are done copy rom to SD card, you can rename the rom1 to rom2 in the SDRoms folder. Then change the values in the config file like this
rom=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2
system=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2/system.img
data=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2/data.img
cache=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2/cache.img
If you want to use external SD instead.
Copy the SDRoms folder to your external SD
then change the config file values like this. sdmnt1 means external SD.
rom=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1
system=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1/system.img
data=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1/data.img
cache=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1/cache.img

Wait for my next update
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I tried the setup.zip but the is no bootsdrom.cfg file in SD Rom folder
I tried it twice.
so I cannot boot the SD Rom
any suggestions?
no root! for phone Rom
for first problem I copied over the bootsdrom.cfg in the folder and it works,
booted the SD Rom and it has still root
but now I can´t boot Phone Rom with holding Homebutton
now I can switch between the Roms by rename bootsdrom.cfg to .bak
but it always been optimizing the apps when switch the Roms
I get root back for the Phone Rom :laugh:
I get it nearly all to work :laugh:
only things are that the homebutten at booting doesn´t work, have to rename the bootsdrom.cfg into .bak for booting phone rom
and
the optimizing all apps at switch between the roms
but therefor it´s REALLY cool and I THANK YOU again for your GREAT WORK :good:
I always searched for a thing like this
Really great work
Looking forward ti seeing you porting it to cm9 kernel

a few little things that I noticed:
- after each switch I have to decide which Home Launcher I want to use
- the widgets I place on Nova Launcher are the same on both Roms, so I guess if I use the same Launcher I can´t use different Widgets by default
- the Icon Quickpanel Settings is shown in one Rom but in the other Rom the Icon is shown as not installed, so I have to put it again from app drawer to the homescreen
- and I tried to copy the files from sd_rom_setup into the right folders so that the homebutton work, but it doesn´t work
realy great job mister...
will learn how to implement..
now i can put also switch my fav rom... albafinalstage n cassie 4.5 slim :thumbup:
All-In-One Toolkit

This toolkit runs under Windows. Installation Instructions:
Download the package from these links: Mirror1 Mirror2
Run the downloaded package and select a folder to extract the files (your user account must have write permissions in this folder). You can now extract it over a previous version because any un-needed previous files will be removed automatically.
SU660 Users: Download Both P990 & SU660-AddOn packages. Run & extract the P990 first and then extract in the same folder the SU660-AddOn. AIO-Toolkit will be converted to support SU660 device. Short & useful description for these options
1 - Backup/Restore Options.
A) Backup/Restore your internal SD Card (via USB Mass-Storage) which is taken with 7z open source tool. Auto-Detects the SD-card’s drive letter (by searching for external_sd or _ExteralSD folder). It just makes a compressed file (7z) of all the files in SD-card as backup action, and extracts this file in SD-card as restore action.
B) Backup/Restore ROM and/or Data partition with nvflash. Backup saves images under Bachup\OldLayout or Backup\NewLayout folder. Restore checks the sizes of current partitions and the backed up images and aborts restore if a partition is smaller than its image or warns if larger. It is needed because anyone now can resize the partitions easily with option 9. Note!! Smaller images can be restored to larger partitions but the final usable size will be the image’s one.2 - Change your Recovery Image.
Easily change the recovery. It supports two methods: via ADB or NVFlash. It detects the current partition layout and lists the suitable recovery images available for you to choose.
A) Change Recovery via ADB (rooted devices only). It is done with adb tool and dd command.
This works on both normal operation and recovery mode.
On normal operation the device must be rooted and USB debugging must be enabled.
Note: LG Driver package (or at least ADB drivers) must be installed at your PC for these to work.
B) Change Recovery with NVFlash. The recovery is flashed by NVFlash tool.
All latest available recovery images are located in ToolKitFiles\P990-imgs folder to be used by toolkit in any option needed. (or ToolKitFiles\SU660-imgs if SU660-AddOn package is installed).
1) The latest versions of cwm v5, v6 and twrp v2.6, for old BooLoader based ROMS prefixed as oldbl-
2) The modified cwm ones v5, v6 and twrp v2.6 for new BooLoader based ROMS prefixed as newbl-
Any procedure in toolkit, if needed, automatically detects the current partition layout, old or new and lists the suitable recoveries from imgs folder for you to choose.
Tip: You can add/remove/modify the recovery images yourself by copying/deleting/renaming them, in ToolKitFiles\<device>-imgs folder and just prefixing them as oldbl- or newbl- The toolkit will include them automatically. 3 - Root a Stock ROM (with NVFlash method).
Roots a stock ROM with the method of NVFlashing a recovery of your choice and then installing SuperUser or SuperSU within recovery mode. This method always worked when other tools failed. 4 - Repartition your device with preferred layout and bootloader:
ATTENTION!! This operation totally wipes your device's internal memory including internal SD-Card. Make sure you have a backup of your critical files, contacts, sms, etc.
It wipes internal memory, recreates partitions, and flashes the right bootloader and recovery image of your choice. You'll be able to boot in recovery mode only to install a new ROM or restore a previous nandroid-backup. It can be used for:
Quick switching to different partition layouts and bootloaders
Repairing a bricked device
It also offers a choice between pre-sized partition tables (for the selected layout and BL) to flash:
Stock [512MB System, 1536MB Data]
Double-Sized System [1024MB System, 2048MB Data] DualBoot Ready
Your own custom one (if you created one with option 9).
After repartition is finished you are prompted to:
a) Fix internal SD-Card automatically, because it is un-mountable after repartitioning.
b) Enable Dual-Boot (only if a DualBoot Ready partition table is selected).
For controling/maintaining Dual-Boot please refer to the DualBoot-Manual.pdf.
Note: LG Driver package (or at least ADB drivers) must be installed at your PC for these to work.
Safety keys: If any of the “SD-Card fix” or “Enable Dual-Boot” step fails go to ToolkitFiles\tools folder and run the IntSD-MountFix.cmd or DualBoot-Enable.cmd accordingly.
Attention: Both scripts are designed to run as standalone scripts also. The IntSD-MountFix.cmd is harmless but DualBoot-Enable.cmd always leaves system switched to ROM1 at the end, so use it ONLY if needed and ONLY on full-wiped data & boot partition e.g. after repartitioning.5 - Extract LG KDZ and/or AP.bin file.
Use this to extract a downloaded kdz file to get the baseband (fls file) and/or the ROM (bin file) to flash with SmartFlash.
Additionally you may need to extract the bin file to separate the included partition images like chefs need to cook their new ROM. 6 - LG Update Tool (Off-Line mode) to flash any KDZ ROM file.
It helps you flash any KDZ file, since the LG Update Tool does not allow a flash if the device is not in the current version LG expects. So we make our PC to serve LG update tool locally (offline).
The script automatically:
Adds 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com entry (temporarily) in hosts file,
Sets the mini mongoose web server on the PC listening to port 9002 which serves the requests of the LG flash utility and run from wherever this package is extracted),
Installs MSXML needed for the tools to run
Runs all the utilities automatically for you (you only have to set to ON the windows enabler)
Opens in your web browser the instructions to follow and flash the ROM.
Finally it reverts back your hosts file, after closing the utility (R&D Test Tool), removing the above entry and stops http server and windows enabler.
7 - SmartFlash a Stock ROM and/or BaseBand.
It flashes a full Stock ROM (bin file) AND/OR Baseband (fls file) as I mention before in option 5.
For BaseBands information and downloads visit the detailed and helpful Complete Baseband overview thread by tonyp.
For official Stock ROMs (KDZ files) visit this site8 - Replace Stock (locked) ICS BootLoader with the New un-locked one.
ONLY for devices already partitioned to ICS layout.
It detects the current partition layout and does not proceed if OLD layout found.
Needed for those who:
Installed Stock ICS with SmartFlash or LGUpdate
Flashed a ready-rooted system.img only and trying to flash a recovery image after
Have a P990 device but are still on the bootloader logoed with a white padlock, which does not enter SmartFlash mode.
9 - Create your own custom-sized partition table to flash with option 4.
It launches the Partitions Customizer GUI tool I created (see attached picture), to help you easily create your own custom-sized partition table to flash with option 4.
Attention!! DO NOT use it if you don’t know what and why you are doing it.A – Get useful logs.
This option gets 4 different useful logs (Normal Logcat, Radio Logcat, Kernel and Last_kmsg) as very nicely described in this useful TonyP’s thread. All four commands are integrated in AIO-Toolkit for quick use without having to remember the commands. Thanks to TonyP.I - Install APX (NVFlash Recovery) Drivers if not already installed.
It starts the windows device driver wizard to help you install the drivers needed for NVFlash. It detects your system OS and gives additional on-screen instructions needed if your PC is running Windows 8.
FYI: The drivers are located under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver folder.Spanish Translation here by elxufas (Thank you)Change Log
V6.0: Date 10 November 2013:
Evolved DualBoot-Control.zip v6.0:
It now supports two different sized system parts for ROM1 & ROM2 (not only two half) depending on total system size. You can also have a standard 512MB for one ROM and the rest for the other.
One zip for both P990 & SU660 devices (no more different zips for the two devices)
An option is added to re-join the previously split /system partition after enabling DualBoot.
Some bug fixes
New icons and short descriptions for each option added.
DualBoot-Enable.cmd (under ToolKitFiles\tools) is also updated to support different sized system parts too. This is called by Option 4 after repartitioning to enable Dual-Boot, when a DualBoot Ready layout is selected.
Small HTTP server (http.exe) which was used by option 6 for off-line LG update, has been substituted by mini web server mongoose, cause http.exe was considered infected by most Anti-Virus SW.
Prefixes ICS- and GB- of files and recovery images changed to newbl- and oldbl- accordingly, as these are commonly used at all XDA threads to declare the bootloader and partition layout. (SU660-AddOn package also updated to v6.0 with prefix changes).
New Update mechanism: When extracting toolkit-package into existing toolkit-folder, any previous manually added recovery image(s) will be kept and properly prefixed automatically (SU660 recoveries too). Recovery images are now reside under new folder named ToolKitFiles\<device>-imgs where <device> is P990 (or SU660 if SU660-AddOn package is installed).
You can now add more than 9 recovery images per layout. No more limits of nine (9) recovery images per layout. (That’s only because I don’t like limits, not because more than 9 recoveries exist )
TWRP Recovery images updated with TonyP’s latest v2.6.0.0 versions. Thanks TonyP
SuperSU install zip updated to latest version 1.65 (SU\SuperSU-v1.65.zip)
Some warning msgs added about adb drivers when they are gonna be needed.
Of course updated manuals to reflect new changes.
A HowTo.. Steps Guide (pdf) is included, to help (mostly new) users.
Older versions' changes:
V5.6: Date 03 June 2013:
SDCard can now be fixed if TWRP recovery is selected.
a typo corrected that caused the toolkit to close without any explanation after option 4 was completed.
V5.5: Date 07 May 2013:
New and more efficient DualBoot-Control.zip v5.5:
Dual-Boot is NO MORE dependent on the specific re-sized layout DualBoot-Control.zip auto-detects the system partition’s total size and splits it into two parts when enabling dual-boot. Note: If you create your own custom partition table (Option 9), the minimum system’s total size for enabling Dual-Boot is 1024MB.
It is noob-proof because it detects the current system part (ROM1 or ROM2) and gives only the appropriate options for maintaining Dual-Boot.
An additional option is added in its aroma menu, to switch ROMs within recovery (not only through SystemChangerX app in normal operation).
Improved and more detailed aroma GUI and more..
Same zip for both P900 & SU660 devices. (Till now a different file was included in SU660 add-on pack)
Option 4 renamed to: Repartition your device with preferred layout and bootloader
Optimized and updated to support Dual-Boot. Besides layout and bl you can now choose between a) stock, b) dual-boot ready partition table and c) your own created with option 9 (if you created one)
It fixes automatically the Internal SD-Card after repartitioning (if you select so when prompted). Necessary for devices with no external sdcard available. No more need to install the IntSD-MountFix.zip.
Simplified and clearer display messages to eliminate newbies’ confusion.
It also enables dual-boot (if you accept when prompted), if a dual-boot partition table is flashed and save you some steps and reboots from installation instructions.
Option A – Prepare device for Real Dual-Boot is removed. The existing Dual-Boot ready re-sized layouts are now available in Option 4.
Option 8 renamed to:Replace Stock (locked) ICS BootLoader with the New un-locked one to eliminate newbies’ confusion about its use.
TWRP Recovery images updated with TonyP’s latest v2.5.0.0. Thanks TonyP
New Option: A – Get useful Logs is now added in toolkit as requested by some of you. All commands described very nicely in TonyP’s thread are integrated in toolkit for quick use. Thank you TonyP.
Minor fix in backup/restore sd-card: When canceling it didn’t return correctly.
ADB tool updated to latest 1.0.31
V5.0: Date 08 Feb 2013:
Toolkit is now modular: It can support theoretically more LG devices with AddOn packages. An AddOn package for SU660 is already implemented.
Option: A – Prepare device for Dual-Boot is added to repartition the device for Dual-Boot support. Attention: DualBoot uses a spesific partition table, so if you are on dual-boot you cannot resize partitions because it will mess-up the device.
Changing recovery via adb now also works when device is into recovery (not only on normal operation) and gives the option to boot into the newly flashed recovery right after.
In option 8 is now clearly mentioned that it is not needed if option 4 has been used, It is needed only if the device is still on Stock locked bootloader. A lot of people still think that they have to use option 8 every time they change to ICS partition layout. Option 4 had always been flashing the un-locked ICS bootloader when changing to ICS partition.
After repartitioning the device enters recovery automatically when powered on. No need to keep pressing Vol- & Pwr.
For OLD BL only the extended (512MB system) partition table is included, to support up-coming new ROMs. If someone wants the stock 350MB he can always make one with PartitionResizer.
Only one of the latest v5, v6 & twrp v2.4 recovery versions is now included for each bootloader to reduce the package size. It will not remove the existing recoveries if extracted into the same folder. Remember that any other recovery image wanted can be added manually as always. (Thanks to Tonyp for his modified twrp v2.4 for the new bl)
Fixed: Extracting kdz under WinXP not working. It was due to different behavior of Microsoft expand.exe on WinXP than on Win7,8 (it doesn't accept wildcards as input file).
Toolkit now checks its write permissions in the folder extracted and gives a warning.
Updated IntSD-MountFix.zip & System-ReFormat-ext4.zip to work on both P990 and SU660 devices independently of the partition layout and bootloader.
SuperSU install zip updated to install latest v1.04 version.
V4.0: Date 05 Jan 2013:
Includes the fix for the options 1 & 5 not starting under certain circumstances.
Off-Line LG-Update Instructions now converted to html and will be opened on your default browser. (NO doc file, NO need to be associated to some application like office to open). It also has an info page of its own too.
More checking and error handling. Now checks (where possible) prerequisites and errors and gives possible reasons and solutions. It is important at least to prevent showing that an operation finished successfully while it didn't. I had to use other mechanisms to do that since some tools don’t return error codes.
KDZ extractor will stop if file is corrupted
BIN extractor will also check if images extracted successfully.
Off-Line LG Update will check if http.exe is not blocked by AV S/W and if the hosts file is modified successfully.
NVFlash Restore checks the sizes of current partitions and the backed up images and aborts restore if a partition is smaller than its image or warns if larger. It is needed because anyone now can resize the partitions easily with option 9. Note!! Smaller images can be restored to larger partitions but the final usable size will be the image’s one.
Completed instructions for flashing a recovery image via ADB successfully on CM10 ROMs too.
Minor changes in displayed messages.
V3.6: Date 01 Jan 2013:
Fixes the nvflash configuration file error: file not found In option 4, which happens if error occurs and user presses any key to retry.
V3.5: Date 30 Dec 2012
Option 1 changed to Backup/Restore options and now (additionally to SDCard backup/restore) includes NVFlash Backup/Restore of full ROM (boot, system, data), ROM only or Data only.
Option 2 changed to Change your Recovery Image and have two options (to select the method)
1 - Change Recovery via ADB (rooted devices only). It now works in CM ROMs too
2 - Change Recovery with NVFlash
The new versions of intSD-MountFix.zip and System-ReFormat-ext4.zip (already attached in OP) now included in toolkit
IntSD-MountFix.zip now works on both layouts and fixes SD only if needed to avoid formatting wrong partition when flashed by mistake.
System-ReFormat-ext4.zip now works on both layouts too.
More detailed information On-Screen for newbies by just pressing H when prompted.
ics-partitions.cfg file for nvflash has the ext3 FS-fix for the MSC partition (thanks pengus77 for your advice).
New ICS recovery 6.0.2.5 by pengus77 is now included. (Thanks pengus77).
Install APX Drivers now as new option (I) in main menu with on-screen instructions for win8 users. (In gray color cause it's an one time action and needed only if drivers are not already installed).
The AIO-Toolkit now zipped as self-extracted exe. It can be extracted over a previous version also, because now any un-needed previous files will be removed automatically. Also creates a shortcut in your desktop for quick access.
V3.0: Date 23 Dec 2012
A new tool “PartitionCustomizer.exe”added with option 9 to help you easily create a re-sized partition table to flash with option 4.
Windows 8 users won’t be asked anymore to install MS .Net Framework 3.5.
Toolkit now checks your windows version and uses system’s choice.exe in Vista,Win7& Win8. In WinXP systems it will use the alternate Choice.exe (under ToolKitFiles\tools, renamed to Choice4XP.exe.
CMxx_IntSD-Mount-Fix_AfterRepartitioning.zip added in CWM folder. Install this in recovery mode after repartitioning and installing a CMxx based ROM.
Install-APX-Drivers.cmd script is added in ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver. It installs APX drivers without having to plug the phone first (in nvflash mode pressing vol- & vol+)
All instructions and help of OP now Included in pack as a pdf document for quick help. I will keep working on it to make it a full manual and guide.
V2.0: Date 16 Dec 2012
Two more options added.
SmartFlash a Stock ROM and/or Baseband (Completing this way the toolkit’s name “All-In-One”)
Flash New Un-Locked ICS Bootloader.
Added more safeties (like automatic detection of partition layout) and warnings to prevent wrong choices.
Added a cwm-flashable SuperSU-v0.99.zip inSU folder also for those who prefer it instead of SuperUser. Every zip can be flashed over an already installed SU or SuperSU. Removes previous occurrences of these.
Added two flashable zips in CWM folder for re-formating system partition in ext4 in case nandroid restore fails after repartioning.
Simplified/shorter instructions for the automatic off-line LG Update Tool
2nd minor fix in BIN extractor occurring sometimes when drag/drop a folder or file. Thanks to SuperSkill for discovering the bug.
Bugfix of not backing-up files with no extension from internal SD-card.
DPInst32.exe& DPInst64.exe files have been added under ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver. Run one depending on your windows platform (x86, x64) to install APX drivers easier if needed.
An extra Addon pack available for fixing the not mounting interal sd-card bug in CMxx ROMs.
V1.1: Date 2 Dec 2012 Fixes a weird bug in BIN Extractor, when the full pathname of the BIN file contains parenthesis ( ) either in a parent folder or the name itself.
V1.0: Date 29 Nov 2012 First version uploaded.

thanks for sharing
Oh nice. thats hell lot of options. will try sometimes this weekend. Thanks a lot for your work. P990 is unbrickable phone and many nvflash builds available, so not afraid of trying anything these days. lolz.
Thank You! This toolkit is very useful! From new ics layout back to GB layout smartflashing 28G baseband was easy!
Thanks...
Looks to be very promising, Thanks, will try it.
Nice work indeed!
I love the fact that there's still fresh development on this old phone
But I don't think I should appear in the credits for providing CWM 6.0.1.5 touch.
I just dowloaded the official build from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
For removing me you could highlight wkpark a little more, especially for cracking the new bootloader.
Without him there wouldn't be any CWM with the new bootloader.
What was the data size? 1.5GB? Can u make a size of 744 for the system? Tks alots....

Glad you found this to be true in your case Been struggling with a bricked P990 for a few days now that errs out when nvflash tries to flash a new bootloader. Will definitely try this tool when I get home tonight and see what I find. Crossing my fingers here
[EDIT] No dice. Still bricked. Happy for any input here; I'm clueless at this point. Seems I've tried everything the internet can suggest. Can't even read the partition table from my phone; can't download bootloader; always errors. Full info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34754117&postcount=38 [/EDIT]

Noted.
Maybe in next version I will include different system sizes for the user to select.
But for now you can always edit the .cfg file (gb-large.cfg or ics-partitions.cfg) under ToolKitFiles\nvflash folder.
Search for the partition named APP and change its size to 780140544 (744*1024*1024).
Note: This is enough for old layout (gb-large.cfg). For ICS one (ICS-partition.cfg) since all partitions are sized (in contrary with OLD layout that UDB partition is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF which means all the rest) you have to reduce UDB size (internal SD) by the additional size you added in APP partition.
So for this example you have to reduce UDB by (744-512)*1024*1024 = 243269632.
Have in mind that you are not gonna have this system size available if you flash one of the current ICS NVFlash ROMs because their system.img is 512MB.
The whole 744 size will be avalable only with ROMS that are flashed with CWM zips, which don't have a system.img inside but a system folder.
OR
After you flash an nvflash ROM make a nandroid backup, resize the partitions and restore the backup (I haven't tried it but it should work)
can you add the bootloader install?! old and ne, may be useful after flash ics via smart flash ie

I am not sure I understood.
Which new and old? You mean the GB and the ICS one or the ICS locked and unlocked one?
The new unlocked one is usefull in case you want to be able to boot in a cwm recovery and it is flashed in rooting option along with the recovery of your choice.
What would be the reason to flash only the bootloader.
Great tool, but is it only me who can't extract the bin file? Thanks

I just uploaded an update v.1.1
It fixes a weird bug in BIN Extractor that it's not working, when the full pathname of the BIN file contains parenthesis ( ) either in a parent folder or the name itself.
If you already have downloaded the v1.0 just download the updated-script attached in post.
EDIT: It is a batch scripting bug.
I had used conditional “IF something DO (….) ELSE (….)” in BIN extracting script, to extract all partitions or just one. A BIN file’s pathname with parenthesis breaked the IF ELSE condition. Batch just s***ks

Internal SD
Hey, I really like your ToolKit. I've been messing around with it, but I have one problem (not sure whether it lies in your ToolKit or me being stupid). After I flashed to a rooted ICS leak a few days ago, I wanted to revert back to CM10 (to check out the in-call-bug fix). Now, it seemed to me that your toolkit would come in handy to revert back to the old bootloader and partition layout. At first i was messing around with CWM: I couldn't mount my SD to flash a CM.zip. It seems that only the older CWM version (1st option in your menu) lets me mount the SD. Ok, so I was able to mount my micro-SD again and I flashed the rom, gapps and the fix. After booting, my phone didnt recognize my internal nor external SD; after connecting to USB, my computer only showed my micro-SD, but when I entered it, it seemed empty. The internal storage isn't recognized by my computer at all. I tried some other tools to flash a few different roms but I ended up reverting back to the ICS-leak I was using in the first place: then both the internal and external storage were recognized again (with no loss of data on the micro-sd).
Well, I'm no developer at all but I read some things about formatting the internal storage; could it be that, after repartitioning, your tool doesn't format my internal storage partition and that this causes mounting problems? I tried formatting it manually through ADB, but it didn't work (probably because my ADB/linux s*ck).
Maybe you have any idea to help me out here Thanks in advance
Thank you for this great tool!

It seems that only the older CWM version (1st option in your menu) lets me mount the SD. Ok, so I was able to mount my micro-SD again and I flashed the rom, gapps and the fix. After booting, my phone didnt recognize my internal nor external SD; after connecting to USB, my computer only showed my micro-SD, but when I entered it, it seemed empty. The internal storage isn't recognized by my computer at all. I tried some other tools to flash a few different roms but I ended up reverting back to the ICS-leak I was using in the first place: then both the internal and external storage were recognized again (with no loss of data on the micro-sd).
Well, I'm no developer at all but I read some things about formatting the internal storage; could it be that, after repartitioning, your tool doesn't format my internal storage partition and that this causes mounting problems? I tried formatting it manually through ADB, but it didn't work (probably because my ADB/linux s*ck).
Maybe you have any idea to help me out here Thanks in advance

Repartitoning uses nvflash to recreate all partitions again and nvflash wipes all partitions including internal SD for sure.

where your CM.zip was? In external or Internal SD? 1st option should be the cwm-5.0.2.8-ext.img. That recovery mounts the external SD by default.
Could you give me more details of what exactly you did step by step? Somewhere I lost you.
1) you repartioned to old layout
2) which cwm did you choose?
3) Your CM.zip should be in your external SD because internal would be wiped.
I would also suggest that if you have a nandroid backup of a previous CM ROM try to restore it first, make sure that everything is working as it should and then flash the newer CM you want. Maybe the problem with SD cards is in the ROM you are trying to flash.
Please let me know
can i root the 30A with the root toolkit option??!

I am not sure I understood.
Which new and old? You mean the GB and the ICS one or the ICS locked and unlocked one?
The new unlocked one is usefull in case you want to be able to boot in a cwm recovery and it is flashed in rooting option along with the recovery of your choice.
What would be the reason to flash only the bootloader.

Dual Boot for P990 & SU660 on Both Bootloaders
Now with more and more new ROMs being released every day and only one phone (at least for most of us) to try them all, I think this was needed.
It is based on the method Bihariel found on a Chinese forum and his latest v2 version for the old bootloader and my previous version 3 for the new one.
It is now modified to work on both bootloaders and Partition layouts. Read change log for details.
Thanks to:
SuperSkill personally, for digging it up from the grave and giving me the vote of confidence to port dual boot into the new bootloader. He is also the 1st after me, who tested it. (thank you again my friend)
KingMGT personally, for helping me make the necessary modifications for SU660 and of course for testing it since I don’t own a SU660. (thank you again my friend)
Bihariel of course, for his great work on which I based the new version (and for copying a lot of text from his thread)
ChinaGB, the creator of the System changer app and the original idea.
What is this useful for?
Devs: you can have one ROM configured and ready for use in one partition and a second partition to test your ROMs without touching your daily ROM, so you won/t need to wipe or backup anything.
Users: you can have a stable ROM, let’s say a stock ROM with everything working and configured and you can have a second partition to test ROMs (for example a custom stock based one or a CM10 beta) so you won't need to do backups and wipes.
How Dual Boot works?
Dual-Enabler.zip: this file enables Dual boot by splitting system partition into two.
Dual-ROM-1-to-XX.zip: this file have to be flashed after flashing ROM 1, after flashing it and boot the phone, you will find an app called system changer, by launching this app and selecting Switch ROM, the phone will reboot and start the ROM 2.
Dual-ROM-2-to-XX.zip: this file have to be flashed after flashing ROM 2, after flashing it and boot the phone, you will find an app called system changer, by launching this app and selecting Switch ROM, the phone will reboot and start the ROM 1.
What ROMs can I use?
P990 Devices:
You can use theoretically, any combination of ROMs for dual booting, working on the same Bootloader of course.
SU660 Devices:
On OLD layout you can use theoretically, any combination of ROMs for dual booting, working on this Bootloader of course.
On ICS layout, due to lack of any custom ROMs for SU660, the p990 layout and bootloader is used so only custom CM, PA & MIUI ROMs are compatible, working on this Bootloader of course.
Attention !! The only ROMs you should not use are Auto-wipe ROMs because they will delete your data partition and with it ROM1 and ROM2 save files. Of course if you are an advanced user, you can open the wipe rom and modify the updater-script to remove the auto wipe lines.
Download from here the package for your device and follow the instructions in post #2.
For older versions follow the instructions included in package.
Change Log:
v5.0 Date 05 Feb 2013
DualBoot-Control.zip. All five zips used till now for enabling/maintaining Dual-Boot have been replaced by this aroma-style flash-able zip.
SU660 package now supports also the su660 ics bootloader & layout.
V4.6 Date 30 Jan 2013
512MB-512MB system partitions for both bootloaders,
Reduced data (to 2000MB) for old-bootloader (because a 2048MB one cannot be formatted on old bootloader)
Bug-fix for dual-boot remover (SystemChanger app wasn't removed).
V4.5 Date 22 Jan 2013
Now it auto enters recovery after repartitioning. No need to keep pressing Vol- & Pwr.
Linux nvflash binary added. (I had forgotten to include it in package, sorry.)
Minor changes in flash.sh (for linux).
V4 Date 20 Jan 2013
It now works on both bootloaders. During repartition with nvflash you have the option to select which one
In old bootloader the system partition is splitted in 370MB for ROM1 and 512MB for ROM2 (in case someone wants to install tonyp's & harsh's full ICS version for old bootloader).
Same simple procedure to enable and maintain dual-boot.
Common flash-able zips because they detect current bootloader and partition layout and act accordingly.
Re-compiled SystemChanger app to display more correct messages and also in which ROM you are switching to.
V3 Date 12 Jan 2013
System partition size is 512 MB for each ROM.
Data partition is still shared but with the max size of 2GB.
Included latest cwm recovery 6.0.2.5 by pengus77. It works for all available ROMs for new BL (DM X, FLEX-ICER & unofficial CM10 CM10.1 ones)
NewBL-Dual-Enabler’s scripts are modified not only for the new layout but now also check and format (if needed) the internal SD (the first time after NVFlash is always needed). It also returns to recovery automatically to let you install or restore the 1st ROM.
NewBL-Dual-ROM-1-to-XX.zip & NewBL-Dual-ROM-2-to-XX.zip no longer need to be updated with the boot images of the ROMs.
SystemChanger app’s scripts, before switching to the other ROM, check if current ROM is changed (by md5 checksum of its build.prop as before) and saves the boot.img for next switch.
noshare file, containing the data folders list, is now also saved under /data/dual-boot. This way it will be always accessible and updatable if needed, no matter which ROM is running.
Boot images and md5 checksums are also saved under /data/dual-boot.
Two more flash-able zips added:
Wipe-ROM-data.zip This will wipe the data of the current ROM. Useful for changing ROM or if required by ROM’s chef
Remove-DualBoot.zip This will wipe the data of the other ROM and will also remove the SystemChanger app and scripts from the current ROM. Useful if you want to make a clean nandroid backup, to restore after a repartition to normal layout.
For V2 change log see bihariel's thread
Here is the guide to get Real Dual boot on both BLs.
Please read carefully because this may mess up your phone if you don't know what you are doing.
Oh!! I forgot, this phone is unbrickable, so give it a try.
Installation Instructions
Extract the downloaded package with WinRAR or similar to any folder.
Copy ROM1, ROM2 and the DualBoot-Control.zip to external SD.
Go to the folder DualBoot-Partition-resizer and run flash.bat (or flash.sh for linux) follow on-screen instructions select BootLoader and wait until NVFlash process finishes and the screen goes black.
Disconnect the USB cable, put the battery back and just power on the phone it will enter into recovery automatically. (It takes about 40 secs to enter recovery 1st time after NVFlash)
Install DualBoot-Control.zip and select Enable Dual Boot option. The phone will reboot (if supported by recovery) and enter in recovery again (if not select reboot recovery from recovery).
Make a full wipe just in case to avoid boot-loops and format /system because it may not be formatted by ROM’s updater-script (mounts and storage --> format /system)
Now flash ROM1 (or restore a nandroid backup of ROM1) and without rebooting install DualBoot-Control.zip, select ROM1 update and reboot when it finishes.
When the phone completely boots, you will find an app called SystemChanger, launch it and click Switch ROM, it will ask you for root rights, click yes, the phone will reboot quickly, press and hold Pwr button + vol down when the screen goes black to enter recovery, if the phone doesn't go to recovery, remove the battery, plug it again and enter recovery.
Format /system (the 2nd system now), because it may not be formatted by ROM’s updater-script.
Now flash ROM2 and without rebooting install DualBoot-Control.zip, select ROM2 update and reboot when it finishes. (Attention: do not restore a backup of ROM2 because it will wipe data files of ROM1)
And that is all, if you want to switch to ROM1, as before, run SystemChanger and click Switch ROM.
Note for those having experienced the older version 2: No need to add boot images in Dual-ROM zips any more.
How to change/update a ROM or Kernel
You have to be on the ROM you want to change/update.
Enter Recovery
If you are changing the ROM or kernel and/or a wipe is needed, install the DualBoot-Control.zip and select Wipe current ROM data.
Flash the ROM or kernel and before reboot install the DualBoot-Control.zip and select ROM1 update if you flashed ROM1 or ROM2 update if you flashed ROM2.
Info: There is also the wipe-rom-x-data.sh in /data/dual-boot/ which can be used to delete the non-running Rom’s data. You can also run this from terminal or adb shell to clean the data of the non-running Rom quickly. For example if you are on ROM1 and you want to change the ROM2 run the script, switch to ROM2 but when screen goes black press pwr & vol- to enter recovery.
How to disable Dual Boot
You have to be on the ROM you want to keep.
Enter Recovery
Install the DualBoot-Control.zip and select Remove Dual Boot. This will wipe the data of the other ROM and will also remove the SystemChanger app and scripts. Useful if you want to make a clean nandroid backup, to restore after a repartitioning to normal layout with AIO-Toolkit.
Enjoy it !!
Wow......one thing i ws missing on NEW BL......thank you so much....now can hold onto this phone for 1more year....
This is just Aweosme <3 will give a try for sure ! LG O2X still the Crazy phone will try today eveng and comment back again ! can i try CM10.1 & V30B (Roms available) ???
Kudooos 4 ur post
This is what i need, i often flash rom 1 to another and restore my app and setting manualy... with this i would keep my daily rom and other for testing
thanks good job
Spyrosk, again, CONGRATULATIONS, this is another great product useful for all of us. To drop the bomb; i think you should add this in AIO, it would be natural if possible. Ive tested this during the weekend, its more easy than the previous gb version. Huge thanks for doing this spyrosk and also huge thanks to Bihariel who did the gb version, you have my deepest respect
Let me give you another challenge lol
It should be possible to.......no no, I must shut up now.
Thanks mate
Nice ! Trying soon... :fingers-crossed:

Thank you too again.
No, don't give me another challenge now. :laugh:
I am thinking on making a v3 version for old bootloader too, or even better a v4 hybrid one for both bootloaders. So I do have work for now.
Yes I could integrate that into AIO-toolkit eventually in an "Addvanced Options" menu , but let's see how it is working, when more users will try it and "cure" any "baby sicknesses" that may come up first.
I can't thank you enough for your testing it so thoroughly.
I really appreciate it.
i don't really understand how this dual boot work
but, can i use my internal sd card for booting stock-based custom rom and using my external one for booting CM10 based rom?
what about ics and gingerbread on dual boot!?

I don't know if this will be ever possible or if it's worth trying it.
The only thing that can be done at the moment, is having one 370MB & one 512MB system partitions on the upcoming gb dual-boot version for installing the tonyp's and harsh's full ics 28g version as 2nd ROM on old bootloader.
I installed yesterday dual boot on my 2X and worked fine without any problems!
Great tool Spyrosk!!
You have done our life easier!!!
Thank you for dual boot
is indeed something very special!!!
It works beautifully for me,
the P990 is significantly upgraded:laugh:
And what about dual boot with linux?

What do you mean? Read step 3 carefully.
3.Go to the folder NewBL-DualBoot-Partition-resizer and run flash.bat (or flash.sh for linux) follow on-screen instructions and wait until NVFlash process finishes and the screen goes black.
sorry, i didnt see it with linux
EDIT: no sorry. i mean, i want to dualboot android/linux (debian, ubuntu, etc.).

How about flashing the second rom that have aroma installer??
DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED
TO YOU OR YOUR PHONE AS A RESULT OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS THREAD.
Created for and tested on the GT-I9300 ONLY.
If you flash 80-100 times a month like me, then you know how annoying it is to
uninstall unwanted system apps all the time.
Presenting the AROMA Installer for CyanogenMod for GT-I9300 devices.
Designed to give you a head start in enjoying your ROM.
Many thanks to the CyanogenMod Team but a lot of their stock apps have limited features
making them redundant.
Features:
- Select which CM Apps you want to Install
- Select which GApps you want to install
- Choose to perform a Megawipe before install
Important Info!! Read before proceeding!:
- If you have never uninstalled system apps before, this is not for you!!!
- The installer simply allows you to customize what goes into your "/system/app" folder
(and "/system/priv-app/" for cm11)..
- Everything else will be installed in it's original fashion (i.e. everything else in "/system/").
- Be mindful of what you pick and choose as many combinations can lead to a non-functional ROM.
You and ONLY you are responsible for what you do or don't choose.
- I will only be making these installers for Stable/RC/Snapshot versions (provided there is any demand).
I simply cannot push out nightly versions as fast as the CM Team releases them.
- Tested extensively on my GT-I9300 running CWM 6.0.4.4.
In the event that I missed something, please report it.
- Suggestions/Bug reports are welcome. However keep in mind that my programming skills are
about as good as a wet turd.
Notable Bad Combinations besides the obvious ones:
CM 10.1.3:
- Installing GApps but not it's 'Setup Wizard' causes several ROM functions to disappear (Quick settings panel items, Power menu items, etc.).
CM 10.2.0:
- Installing GApps but not it's 'Setup Wizard' causes several ROM functions to disappear (Quick settings panel items, Power menu items, etc.).
- Not installing the CM Welcome screen causes GApps' Welcome screen to crash and loop on first boot
i.e. stuck at welcome screen.
CM 11:
- Installing GApps but not it's 'Setup Wizard' causes several ROM functions to disappear (Quick settings panel items, Power menu items, etc.).
Installation:
1. Flash like you would any other .zip file via CWM.
2. Keep in external sd card if you intend to use megawipe.
Batch file for manual update:
The only reason I don't do these more frequently is my horrible upload bandwidth.
So here's a batch file for windows users to manually update to the latest cm11 nightly fairly quickly.
It simply moves the new apk's to the appropriate folder and replaces the /system/ contents and the boot.img file.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE BAT FILE:
If the cm team has added new apps or removed old ones, or made any changes to the updater-script, this will not
be reflected in this batch update. The installer will also not show the new version details in the ROM info.
BE AWARE OF THESE CHANGES AND USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Instructions for manual update:
1. Extract any of my cm 11 aroma installers to a temporary directory (say "temp-directory").
2. Download and extract the latest cm11 nightly to another directory "another-directory".
3. CUT (not copy) and paste all the apk's from "/system/app/" and "/system/priv-app/" to the root of "temp-directory".
4. CUT and paste "/system/" folder and "boot.img" file to the root of "temp-directory".
5. Place cm.batch.updater.bat in the root of temp-directory and run as admin.
6. If you see any .apk's remaining in the root folder, then abort as it means cm has added an
app to their package that needs to be manually added to the config files.
7. Zip and enjoy!
