THIS OP IS OUTDATED! WIP!
Hello everybody!
You might or might not have already heard of MultiROM, THE multi-boot mod for the Nexus 7. I have recently found it and have decided to port it for our device.
First of all, it is a very initial release now. Though I have tested multiple cases and didn't find any problem except those in the bug list, bugs can arise. Do have a backup! Also, do read through the whole OP and 2nd post! If you don't understand something, rather read again and/or ask!
For more information on how it works and what it does, I suggest that you read the first few posts in the original thread. Those are very detailed and well-written posts that explain MultiROM in general. Installing roms to USB and Ubuntu/Ubuntu Touch of course doesn't work for our device atm.
Installation
The device must not be encrypted!
You need to flash the modified TWRP recovery that has MultiROM extensions. My version is based on the latest sources with gordon0001's device-specific modifications included. You can keep this recovery if you don't want to use MultiROM anymore and you like TWRP, because the MultiROM extensions don't interfere with other functions, even if the boot sector is not injected.
You have to flash a kernel that is capable of Kexec-hardboot. I compiled iodak's v07 CM kernel and official CM kernel with the patch, choose one of them. I have noticed an approx. 3 sec. vibration at boot with iodak, that's why I have included official CM kernel too.
Finally you have to flash MultiROM.

mrom_p880.patch: Device-specific changes for Trampoline and MultiROM.
ui.xml: UI layout definition for TWRP for 720x1280 screens with MultiROM additions.
Known bugs
Reboot to recovery doesn't work.
USB tab doesn't do anything. This is because USB host mode (OTG) doesn't work on our device. Will reach out to kholk regarding this.
Sometimes in landscape mode, the default selected rom gets booted on the first touch. This is yet to be investigated.
Changelog
14 August 2013: Initial release
Credits
@Tasssadar for MultiROM, Kexec-hardboot for Nexus 7 and his help with debugging and porting
@mkasick for original Kexec-hardboot implementation
@iodak for his kernel

Every custom modification to devices have risks. Flash these at your own risk!
Have fun and enjoy!
General use
Some notes and instructions regarding general use
For now, I have only provided patched 4.2.2 CM kernels. This means, you have to be on CM or CM-based rom with Android version 4.2.2. Don't try it with stock at the moment in any way. It won't work, but is on the to-do list. As Kexec-hardboot will reach out to devs, it will be supported in every rom ultimately.
In the next two examples, I will refer any official, unofficial, or CM-based roms as CM. Keep this in mind.
I use the word 'injected', because MultiROM is actually injected into the boot partition. It works on any kernel that is capable of doing Kexec-hardboot (and if you don't want to use different kernel (i.e. you will use kernel sharing), it will work on unpatched kernels as well).
I may refer to non-shared kernel method as Kexec(-hardboot) method.
Example scenario of multi-booting CM with CM and kernel sharing
You are on CM with MultiROM-capable recovery, patched kernel and MultiROM-injected and you want to install e.g. CarbonRom as second.
Boot into TWRP, navigate to Advanced->MultiROM and select 'Add ROM'. Since the base rom is CM, you can share the same kernel. It will be faster as there will be no hardboot needed.
The installation steps are easy and it doesn't take more time than a normal installation.
Example scenario of multi-booting CM with CM and different kernel
You are on CM with MultiROM-capable recovery, patched kernel and MultiROM-injected and you want to install e.g. CarbonRom as second.
Boot into TWRP, navigate to Advanced->MultiROM and select 'Add ROM'. Select 'Don't share'.
Continue with installation.
Now, since the target kernel (that is installed with the rom) is very likely not patched, you will have to flash one of my linked kernels to that rom. Do this by selecting 'List roms', selecting the desired rom, than 'Flash ZIP' and flashing one of the kernels I have patched.
You can only share the kernels between the same Android version (i.e. stock base->only stock rom can use shared kernel, 4.2 base->only 4.2 rom can use shared kernel, 4.3 base->only 4.3 rom can use shared kernel, etc.), but this is not the case with the Kexec method. Just keep in mind that for example even if your base rom is CM, for a stock secondary rom you have to flash a stock patched kernel.
The build
Some notes about the build
x3_hardboot.diff: This is the Kexec-hardboot patch for the 3.1.10 kernel. Since it is needed for target kernels as well, I would like to reach out in this post to @arararagi, @demetris_I, @iodak, @kholk, @laufersteppenwolf and @Pesach85 (in no particular order, this is how your threads are in order in Original Android Development forum right now). I and fellow users would be grateful if you could include the patch in the kernel so they can be used as both host and target kernels as well. UPDATE: It doesn't reserve one more megabyte before ram_console from now on.
mrom_p880.patch: This contains all the device-specific patches that are needed to get MultiROM booting and working on the P880. It is built on top of the latest git changes as of today. It also contains some comments about multiple devices compatibility, those are reminders for Tasssadar.
ui.xml: UI layout definition for TWRP for 720x1280 screens with MultiROM additions. Needs to be put into TWRPdir/gui/devices/720x1280/res/. The recovery I have created is based on the latest MultiROM TWRP with @gordon0001's device-specific changes.
You can find links to the upstream MultiROM and MultiROM TWRP in the original thread.

You can't install to external SD. It could be modified to allow it, but there would be a huge performance decrease. Literally, roms would be lagging too much.

Hi,
I've got a pretty scary problem on my hands. I tried to install CyanogenMod on my Xperia T trough CWM this morning.
I flashed my device first, wiped it with CWM itself. Then I tried to install CM from a zip I put on my SD-card before. All seemed fine at first. It said
finding update package
opening update package...
Then it just goes back to the main menu of CWM.
When I restarted, I noticed I now have a softbrick, I can only use fastboot and CWM, I tried multiple versions of CM, but they all didn't work.
So I tried to mount USB storage to CWM and that doesn't work either. It just says sdcard 0 (and 1) shared - unmounted.
What can I do to get my phone working again? I really want CM, but if that's not an option, than thats fine....
My bootloader is unlocked, and I am using CWM 6.0.4.5;
I got some error messages out of the log, not sure if theyre helpful
I: Checking for extendedcommand...
I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I: Can't partition non-vfat: /storage/sdcard0(ext4)

Flash stock 4.1.2
Root it and then try with this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012738
Choose v7 or v8.
DON'T download v9 because it's buggy.
Then you can install CM again
Anyway I suggest to try Omnirom for our beloved T ... since CM has still the blue screen bug that developers haven't fixed yet

FXP zips are good, I'm just trying to explain that every FXP release is melted with the next CM nightly any time.
Omnirom is a different project and is very stable for Xperia T, since there are developers that are working for this rom nowdays..

FXP and CM generally have the same bugs, but last time I was on FXP's CM11, I can't think of any bug aside from the terrible battery life, which might not be the same for the T since most, if not all, developers have a T (I've got a TX).
On the other hand, I'd recommend you look for ROMs first on XDA instead of through Google or the ROM developer's website, since on XDA there are developers that actually read the comments in threads and in my experience, fix problems faster. For instance, @tilal6991 has this ROM, which I don't know if it is on the official OmniROM download page, but it has had some recent updates that fix the blue screen, MHL Hdmi, and in my case, the ROM I'm on also borrows files from his ROM, which fixes battery drain while on WiFi, something that has NOT been fixed on FXP (which makes me wonder about how they "develop").
Hello, if any developer can build drivers for solana 4.4.x, I can build any rom what u want, I think that the DROID RAZR XT910/912 have similar hardware, and camera and wifi and some others things, but I don't know how to build kernels, so if anyone knows how to, or anyone build a kernel(and necessary files for Android 4.4.4) please tell me and inmediatly I'll build a lot of roms for our device.
Sorry for my English.

dont know if i can build a kernel but i can offer u my assistance in probably building a rom. there is already a kitkat rom for the D3 but the wifi & storage doesnt work, can u fix that? i'll give u the link to my rom site where lyes all the D3 roms look for the ls kk rom and maybe u could take that and maybe build a new one from it, the rest are jellybean roms maybe u can use that idk. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/b0gq735hrqxx6/Droid_3_ROMS
I'll build a rom for Solana(droid3) but I don't have the phone anymore, so if anyone wants to be a tester I'll upload it. Please note that I don't have the phone anymore so if this brick your phone I'm not responsable, in order to not to brick, please use slot-1 or slot-2, but not stock(in this way you can evade a brick).
anyway, those who wants to try this please tell me and when the rom finish building I put the link.
and another thing is:
I don't know a lot of English especial words, so I can't understand this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
because we need a new recovery, we have a older release, to build the SAFESTRAP you can use this:
https://github.com/stargo/android_bootable_recovery
https://github.com/stargo/android_packages_apps_Safestrap
this is the lastest but I don't know how to build it.
If you want to use Lollipop anyone have to compile this SafeStrap.

I am also disappointed a bit. I came from Milestone 2, which is older, but still under development, even though it rests in 'legacy devices' forum. But existing ROMs for Droid 3 are fast and stable - i.e. Minimoto which I'm using now. No KitKat? Yeah, but who cares for KitKat?
I would love to see a 4.4.4 rom for the droid 3 or a 5.0 rom. I will gladly test.

yes, it would be nice, but without the new safestrap will not work
Alternatively, you can compile the CM12 for droid 3 and install it on another device with a new safestrap and then upload system.img here
Anything new on a new ss and cm12?? I would love to see lollipop for the droid3. I currently run liquid smooth kk, not too bad.

Q&A for CM11 based on 4.4.2 OTA
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

This is a really nice ROM. I bought a VS980 (for cash, even) and was disappointed that Cyanogenmod didn't seem to be maintaining the build for it anymore. Battery life is so good I thought the battery meter was broken at first. I'm seeing 75% full at the end of a typical day of calls and texts and apps.
Thanks a lot for making this!
Is the OCT 13th build using 26a binaries, drivers and kernel?

I'm on 24a on paranoid android. Can I just go ahead and flash this like I do any other ROM or do I need to follow all the steps on the front page?

Just flash it is fine.
Curious what those on CM and CM based Roms are using for SMS..the stock app only sends compressed pictures that look like garbage. How are you all sending uncompressed? Personally I've been using Textra, but would prefer to mod stock SMS if possible...anyone?
What's the point of this thread? I don't understand what to ask here instead of in the original thread.

Kinda wondering the same thing. I guess it's good for people who don't have enough posts to use the development thread, on the other hand it splits conversations about the rom to two different places. I could understand if the developer specifically asked for all Q & A to go here but I don't think that's the case is it?

Based on the OP and the name of the poster, I'm guessing this is automated by XDA.
I think threads like these could be useful. For instance the question I posed above in no way contributes to the development of a ROM, it's features, or is a bug that needs sorting out.
Lately I've noticed mods pointing those who ask questions in a development thread to Q&A threads like this..I can only guess that XDA prefers things in this direction now.
Hope this isn't too dumb a question.
So I've been reading a LOT of this thread and I just need to clarify a few things.
First, I have the 26A build and cannot flash the regular CM11 (I get stuck in the LG boot loop) so this is how I found this thread. Now, is this thread specifically for a special build of CM that gets around this problem? The last 20 pages or so are more about bugs and things within this build so I'm getting a little confused on if this is actually the thread and build I need.
Second thing: If this IS the zip I need for my boot loop problem, can I simply flash it in recovery or do I need to go through the steps in the OP? I saw someone ask this question a few pages back but didn't really understand the answer. If it's as simple as a flash of the zip, whey would the long string of instructions still be in the OP? Thank you for clarifying.
Third thing is: If I flash this build and the official CM builds later somehow work with the 26A firmware, can I simply flash the new, official CM build(s) or will I need to wipe and install the official build clean?
Thank you for answering these annoying questions. I've literally spend the last 3 days trying to root and boot and finally found this thread and spent the last day reading up on it.

1.Official CM is still using 4.2 sources.
2. Yes, just wipe and flash this then gapps. Ignore all the complicated instructions, they're outdated.
3. I'd recommend a clean flash, but, yes, when/if CM finally updates to true kitkat sources.

Great! Thanks for clarifying. Is the CM team slow at updating the sources? I was under the impression that CM worked fairly quickly. From what I gather, the VS98026A build has been around for about a month, correct? Also, does that mean 26A is the first firmware from LG built on 4.4?

24A was first, then 2nd, then 26A. Not all were official. As far as CM goes, I don't know.
Getting same error message as other user
I have fewer than 10 posts so I can't post in the forum but I'm getting the same error message that user AO4EVER was getting. Here is his post:
"Same error message with the new build
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset. E: Error executing updater binary in zip's '/data/media/0/sideload.zip'
Anyone else is getting this? [Don't think it is due to build, something is off the device itself]" - AO4EVER
He was confused because nobody else was getting that error message. Well, that's the message I get when I try to flash JPC's build of CM11. I am rooted on stock 26A.
Does anyone know why this is happening? The user said he ended up deleting some of the verification code to get it to finally work. Can anyone explain how I would go about doing this? I don't know a ton but I feel comfortable enough in terminal/command prompt to make changes if I know what changes to make.
*EDIT* I deleted the part of the verification code that was preventing me from flashing JPC's CM11 build and have successfully flashed it now.
Just updated to 20141026, GPS is broke (was broke on an earlier Oct build). I see others confirming GPS working, how do I test to make sure I don't have bad hardware?
laf gets overwritten
The aboot and boot replacement works fine. The md5sums match over many reboots. However, something keeps overwriting the laf file. I tried replacing mmcblk0p24 directly, and the md5sum for that and the laf symlink in by-name are correct, but when the phone reboots something has overwritten it. I also made a copy of mmcblk0p24 in the block folder, and strangely that gets deleted on reboot as well. But aboot and boot keep the changes. Weird. Do you know what could be causing this?
updating
If i followed this guide to install the cm 11 m11 build and i want to update to m12 how do i do that

LG G2 VS980

CM 11 (M12) vs980 Camera w Flash problem
Hello all,
So, i've been running the latest builds of CM 11 4.4.4 through the help of JackpotCalvin's write up and kernel exploit.
I figure I should ask if anyone else has had some issues with the camera and taking pictures with flash enabled?
for whatever reason the white balance is faulty with flash enabled and the pictures come out whitewashed. It didn't used to do this with previous updates (before the M12 stapshot).
maybe something is bogging down performance and i dont realize it. Anyway, thanks for any feedback.

Welcome to the official thread for the Lollipop roms for our Optimus 2x
As to start, this thread is exclusively for the developers who are interessted/working on on the Lollipop ports for our Optimus 2x
We had alredy some build like the OmniRom , CM12 and even ParanoidAndroid.
This thread is exclusively for discussions for the developers and for the testers to test the new made roms so I will update the links as the roms get made. So I am only posting here the links of the latest version, to get the versions from the past you wil need to browse throught this thread
Update 05/6/2016
Gucky did it again! New build for CyanogenMod 12.1 is up, and now with fixed camera! When I get the full list of working features and bugs, I will upload it here. Thank you Gucky for your massive help and contribution to this community. This device is very old after all, and you still find the time to tinker on it. No words really. Respect!
CM12.1 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg...cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip/download
WARNING the Rom is still not stable, but we are close!
ParanoidAndroid: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Puri/p990/AOSPA(lollipop)
Take in mind that all these roms are unstable besides the CM12 rom,but it still has some major bugs which we as a group will fix.
As in all of this, stay tuned for updates
Good job my friend
Thank you very much. I'm downloading right now. It would be useful, if you could upload your (Lokal) Manifest, too. So we are able to re- build the rom with the necessary changes.
Looking forward!
Credits goes to you!
um

Could you please share your sources.

Hello everyone.As you might know me from some threads where i comment some stuff.Anyways, since Lollipop was announced i was obssesed with it and my wish was that i would be the first one to make the version availble for our device.
Well i kinda did it....KINDA of course but we need some help if we wanna make it work.I call ALL of the developers for our device to work together to make it work.We are so close to get it fully booting.I made it boot to the animation and now where the help comes in use.We need some developers who can enable ADB on our device in the bootanimation.TO be honest i dont really know anything about sources and that stuff but i know some things.With the help of @tonyp and @timduru which I am the most thankfull of that gave me hope to make this.So here we go!
WARNING!!!
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
No one should download and flash this rom because you will get stuck in the bootanimation and will need to install previouse rom again and install everything over...blah blah blah.
Also the link to the rom is here ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwhg08ux7qhtgsh/5.0 test.zip?dl=0
So if someone gets it working, please pm me in the progress. Cheers

Well to be honest, i dont really know how to share the menifest because i didn't use much the source. I was porting the Cm11 tonyp's rom and the rom from timduru, so i dont really know how to share the manifest lol

Did you change some files in the zips or did you build a new rom in the way Raum described, my friend?

nope, didn't touch anything other than the updater script i think and the build prop because i wanted fully stock experience
I can be your tester my phone got a battery problem so im having fun with flashing roms
I will try to exchange the updater script from my build with yours.
Lets see if I can flash mine.
And your your problem: I think there are one or more patches that we maybe need, witch timduru wont need because of the tegra3 hardware. (maybe some patch for our old egl hardware)

Well, it might be that he used KatKiss from timduru for the TF101 which has a Tegra 2, but still our phone uses the Tegra 2 AP20H, while the TF101 uses Tegra 2 T20. Small difference in the chipset, but still a difference. Easiest would be to port from the Galaxy R or Captivate Glide, but they too struggle with Lollipop over in their forum. Anyway, TheMysteryouse used timduru's AOSP rom, so maybe it would be easier building the whole thing from the demo CM12 sources available.
nonono

Nope, this rom has NOTHING to do with the tegra 3 rom.I used the rom for TF101 tablet which is tegra 2 but had a cmall chipset difference.So yeah I am still trying to do some things like searching the framework sources from tony to see if he has a code in the build.prop which directly enables ADB from the boot, but cant really find it.Anyways try your best and so the others.Cheers
Hi guys, after some testings I could get booting to finish. There are some errors left. But I will work further this evening and upload the rom afterwards. Think this will remain a test build for some time, till Tony or DJ can fix the errors.
Stay tuned!
Any video or screenshot? xD
Sorry for nob request, but working well or not, its great to our comunity
p.s. if need tester in future, you, TheMysteryouse or DJNoXD.
Im ready for
...WoW!...That´s Good News...Thank You for All of You, Guy´s...

Awesome news buddy! Lollipop on first power dual core android device! Switch to 1+ One as a primary phone for some reason but I will continue to follow and supporto you!
That is great!!! ))))))))
Ok. I have to go one step back. The rom is not ready for the testers and I'm too tired to test more. For those, who want to repeat my steps or want to finish...
I replaced the files in Mystery's rom with my own Kitkat ones. The first half, than the second. Now I could get it to finish the booting process. This steps I went on and on. So I could reduce the problem to the framework-files in "system". If you replace all of them, it boots up with some error messages.
I think we have to reduce the 40 files inside more and more to find the reason for the bootloop.
All the best to you,my friends!
Damm this is great a device from 2010 receives android L. 4years later. If I can borrow the old optimus 2x from my father then I could also look into the problems if it's not booting yet then. Till then continue your work.
