I'm proud to present the first dual boot project for the HTC one M8! This will allow any number of ROMs to be installed at the same time. It works by patching the secondary ROM's installation scripts and boot image to load the ROM files from an alternate location (/system/multiboot, /cache/multiboot, and /data/multiboot). Because of the way this is implemented, no changes to the primary ROM are necessary
A huge thanks goes out to all of the donators for supporting this project! I if forgot to add you (and you want to be added), please send me a quick PM.
See all of our supporters here: https://gist.github.com/chenxiaolong/3f3fb485cbd0cb77c4281941433ec54d
It patches...
Custom kernels for dual boot support
ROMs so that they can be installed as secondary
Google Apps packages for AOSP-based ROMs
SuperSU so that it can be used in the secondary ROM
NOTE: If you want to dualboot a Sense ROM, I highly recommend installing Sense rom as the primary ROM. Otherwise, any mods will need to be patched before flashing.
How to use the patcher
Android
Download the patcher apk and run it. Tap "Patch Zip File" from the navigation drawer and choose the file you want to patch.
Windows (GUI)
Double click DualBootPatcher.exe and choose the file you want to patch.
--------
After patching the zip file, a new file, like some_rom_dual.zip file will be created. For example, patching ktoonsez's
KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-TMO-08.28.2013.zip
would create a new
KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-TMO-08.28.2013_dual.zip
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and the DualBootUtilities.zip from the download section below.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Dual: Dual/Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: There can be an unlimited number of extsd slots. These install to the external SD card, which is useful as it keeps the ROMs off of the internal storage. Note that the ROM's data files are still stored on the data partition.
With that said, let's get to the "how to"!
First, boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
Go to "Patch zip file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. You can select one of the installation locations described above.
There are two ways of flashing the patched zip file. You can either flash it normally from recovery or flash it using the in-app flashing feature. Both methods are explained below.
Flashing from recovery
To flash from recovery, just flash the patched zip file like you would for any other zip. Nice and simple.
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.
A normal backup from recovery will backup every ROM. If you would like to back up ROMs individually, please see @rlorange's awesome tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2491299
Here is a full guide for DualBoot Patcher : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/guide-dualbootpatcher-build-source-t3663076
How do I...?
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it

Hello guys. I made it for P970 and some people ask me to make for P990. Since we are the LG's victims and I have free time now so I make this for you. Enjoy :highfive:

Credits: Esvilisto for this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597928
PS:
+ I don't have P990 and I can't test, someone please confirm it works or not
+ I made this from CM10 source code so maybe it's only works with offcial CM10
I'm unable to flash the .zip..it keeps saying installation aborted..
i'm on CM10's latest nightly
I made this the same way with P970. Maybe there's something wrong. I'll check it. BTW you can extract and put the files in system folder to the CM10's zip and flash

Doesn't change anything... same lockscreen that before flash.
wwwowww:victory: it worked...
all i did was
1)extracted the lockscreen zip downloaded from first link..
2)replaced the files in cm10 20121105.zip
3)flashed the cm10 zip..
4) wipe cache, dalvik, fix permissions and..
voila it worked....:laugh:
but its not that great..
To make flashable zip work, maybe you should free some space on system partition. Can't try ATM, because I'm currently on stock ICS and testing it. And probably will stay few more days for testing purposes. So I'll skip few CM10 nightlies...
Anyway, thanks for porting this for our device, I'll try it as soon as I'm back on CM10.
Looks good

I just can't get it to work..even when I replace the files in the CM10 zip and try to flash it it keeps aborting and giving status 0
Maybe someone con make a zip with latest version.
I' ve found instruction by evilisto:
I'm not sure but I think...
1) halo ring : it could be due to too big image size.. Current version(v3 for JZO54K) is for HD screen devices. If you are trying to use this patch for WVGA(hdpi) device, you have to replace WaveView.java part to old version's one (v2.5 for WVGA).
2) black wallpaper : this is lockscreen transparency issue. check your rom version and see this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=23

Don't include the META-INF folder.
I included it in the latest nightly, for me the clock only show 3 digits and the lockscreen unlocks really slow..
back to normal !

same here..only 3 digits the 4th one is cut..ex- time is 10.35 ... only half part of 5 is shown..
Really good !
Well, I've replaced the files of the new link directly into the ROM zip file, and I had the problem of the digits. But selecting "center" into lockscreen settings (settings/lockscreen) just fixed it.
All I can say is a big thank you, caus' I've been waiting for it for a very long time, and even if you can't add widgets or shortcuts, and that the unlock is a bit slow, this stays a very good mod !
Earlier, I have been compiling several ROMs for the galaxy tab (P7510/p4wifi) based on KitKat 4.4. I now decided to move over to OMNI ROM as base: http://omnirom.org/
The nice thing of OMNI in my personal opinion is smoothness: it is relatively low in features, but at the same time it is not that resource hungry as some other ROMs. The end result is a smooth ROM.
Changelog of 15-Feb-2014
-Omni codebase of 14-Jan
Several small fixes, nothing spectecular
It features the Infamous kernel (same kernel as for JB4.3, without SELinux). The zram code has been optimized (based on google advice for low-RAM devices) and is enabled by default.
To see the additions on top of Omni, check github (additional patches are always shown on top):
Frameworks
Settings
OmniGears
First installation:
-Boot into recovery
-Factory reset
-Wipe system partition
-Install ROM
-Boot tablet (there sometimes are bootloops if gapps is flashed directly on top of the ROM without first booting the ROM)
-Reboot recovery
-Install SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/371/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.85.zip
-Install gapps (you should use a package specifically for KK4.4 and with the old-fashioned updater-script! - don't worry if you install an outdated gapps packages with the correct updater-script, as long as it is for KK4.4 the apps in the gapps package will be automatically updated -> only small gapps packages fit, e.g. banks core of pa 0-day gapps mini)
-Boot it up
-> some people report issues (e.g. bootloop or crashing gapps) if they flash ROM, gapps & supersu in a row after fully wiping the tablet. In that case, wipe again, flash ROM, boot the tab, reboot to recovery, and then flash the rest.
-> if coming from stock ROM, a factory reset may wipe you entire /data partition, so you loose you sdcard contents as well (I think this only happens with CWM, but I'm not sure)
-> in CWM "wipe system partition" can be found under mounts, and is called "format /system"
->If you get the message 'This package is for "p4" devices this is a "GT-P7500"' (or something likewise) update to a recent CWM or TWRP
Update installation (OMNI -> OMNI):
-Boot into recovery
-Install ROM
-Install SuperSU (in the SuperUser app you can create a script that will automatically backup/restore SuperSU on ROM updates so you don't have to reflash SuperSU).
-Boot it up
You can download any gapps packages for kitkat that you like, but one that many have used successfullyis PA 0 day gapps:

What does NOT work?
-There are graphical glitches. Although they mainly have been solved there seem to be some remaining issues with hwcomposer that may crash the tab.
-Bluetooth audio does not work (other Bluetooth functions do work).
-HDMI output (may be fixed according to some posts, didn't test myself yet)
-HD movies (in e.g. youtube) may stutter
Smoothness advice:
Go to performance settings:
-Overclock CPU to 1400MHz (Do this at your own risk!)
-Set IO scheduler to CFQ
-Keep governor on Interactive
Go to developer settings:
-Set the three animation scale options to 0.5x
-Activate "Force GPU rendering"
-Active "Disble HW-overlays"
-Set background process limit to 4 processes
(if performance/developer options are not yet shown, go to settings>about and press build number 7 times)
-> Thanks to all forum members contributing to this list
-> Do it at your own risk!
-> Don't complain about limited battery life (ROW+interactive+1000MHz leads to better battery life for sure)
Some other tips:
-For improvement of sound quality, you can use Viper4Android
-For more volume only, SpeakerBoost is earier to use
-For netflix, head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49208063&postcount=445
-To be able to use Flash player, use a browser that doesn't use the kitkat browser engine (e.g. firefox can be used). Download flash player from adobe website (thanks to AAccount for finding out!).
- If you can't see your internal SD on PC: Go to Settings -> Storage -> 3 dot menu -> tick MTP.
-To use the multi-window feature, go to the recent apps screen, press&hold an app, and select put aside.

You need to separately flash SuperSU. SuperSU can create a script for backing it up, so that on future ROM flashes you don't have to repeat this.

The problem is that in 4.4 the radio stuff has been redone. I also had problem with another device I develop for (SGS) to get the radio to work. And to develop a ROM for a device I don't own make it even more complicated. In the past weeks I sometimes flashed 10-15 testbuilds on a single day to try and fix something simple (like USB OTG). If someone else would test something for me, the progress would be way too slow.
But all my code is open source: someone with a p7500 can just grab all the code, adapt it to p7500 and compile it. And start the whole process of fixing bugs

Hello guys!
After learing a lot from these great devs arround here i decided to start to try out a new project! Multirom!!
You might or might not have heared of it, THE multi-boot mod for the Nexus 7. I 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.

Explanation
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 kernels if you are on the same Android version for example 5.0.x!

That error with executing bla bla bla is rom related!
I already have TWRP 2.8.6.0 installed. To use your MultiROM Mod do I just need to flash MultiROM zip? Or do I need to flash recovery img (I found in your link)?
Will the uninstall zip send me back directly to the Stock TWRP 2.8.6.0?
__________________________________________
It works. But I'm getting the same problem as @mater2.
"error executing updater binary in zip '/tmp/mr_update.zip";
I tried latest BlissPop 3.4 and Euphoria 1.1.
If it is ROM related how can we solve it?
I saw some users reporting the same problem with the Nexus 5. They said the problem was on the "updater-script" of the ROM.
Thanks for your work and attention.

1. Create backup from primary rom
2. Wipe everything and install rom you want as secondary as primary
3. Make backup from Primary you want to have as secondary
4. Use option to add rom to MR with Backup
5. Restore backup from old Primary
Are iodak and werewolf supporting multirom ?

@gugu6897 @CrazyWinner
the kernel in this post (patched kernel) only can used for multiboot.
when use patched kernel
maybe you will have bug with sim internet with all roms except blissbob.
every thing else work good
@CrazyWinner, looks like iodak (and mourta too) has kexec-hardboot, but my secondary ROM (MIUI v5) don't boot. I double tap it, but the device just power off.
Does someone know any ROM that works with MultiROM?

I just discover the win tool Extractor 2.4 from @Alexey71 , as I didn't succeed to get finish compiling mmb 5.1.1.37 (or 29), I played with @csk1jw 2xAosp LP &MM system.new.sdat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57742855&postcount=42
extraction + re-zip(boot.img+file_contexts +/system/) in @laufersteppenwolf Nameless 5.1.zip + twrp’ add 2nd multirom + reboot and IT JUST WORKS!
I can now multiboot, WITH Nameless 5.1 AS PRIMARY: mmb 5.1 as 2nd+
cm11+OEMlg JB (+ BlisspopLP+ crdoidLP).
Many thanks to native kexeced Nameless’ kernel for LP!
Unfortunately’ the re-zipped aosp MM did not boot (boot.img conflict? or primary slot required with kexec.. or I miss more).
I believe there won’t be any future update on mmbLP, so it will be good if, @csk1jw or @MoltenMotherBoard or @streambinder could make an old_fashion-zipped official ultimate edition to be used with gorgeous @fritzcola ’ multirom 2.8.6 .
Also if they explain me how to bake it, patched with microG, i try wakelockblocker's patch for a better battery control in ‘pure’ FLOSS.
I still hope that, in this combination, some could give a try to my infamous nightly-cm11+3; while waiting for a snappy MM snapshot...

Basics multirom tips;
-If you think something is wrong, like battery drain or excessive reboot: in twrp menu go to advanced menu then fix permissions and re-flash multirom32 on primary rom before rebooting;
-Always use ext sdcard for twrp’s copy-backup and avoid using twrp’s File Manager to restore, otherwise they could be buried and waste your mem until a complete re-format; if needed: boot in primary rom (or install a rom ZIP!) and copy them to sdcard/twrp/backup/IdDevice… with your favorite apk.
-For better efficiency use native kexeced Nameless 5.1 for primary rom.
Actually I don’t know if mmb5.1 is 100% compatible with @laufersteppenwolf ‘s Nameless 5.1_kernel.
Be aware that the smell of night roasted marshmallows is scientifically attracting werewolves.
This my first ROM for this device. Hope you enjoy. It is a stock based ROM based on T210 firmware with added features. Works for both T210 and T210R. Keep checking back, this ROM is ever-evolving and constantly being updated.
***Note***
With the 210R kernel you will gain the IR, but lose Vibrate sound profile option. (In notifications pulldown and power menu.)

Thanks. I was looking for something to breath some life in to this old tablet. I installed it and so far its going well. I like the voice notifications.
rom works well and is fast. is there a way to turn off voice notifications?
Yes. It's not actually voice notifications... I changed the lock, unlock, and boot sound. I think the lock and unlock ones only work when it is on swipe. If you use a pattern or pin I don't think it does. You can turn off lock sounds in settings or use root browser and navigate to /system/media/audio/ui/ there you will see the lock, unlock, and power on. (Lock_none_effect.ogg, PowerOn.ogg, and Unlock_none_effect.ogg) You can either delete them or rename them. You will also see the original sounds, I renamed them with .bak at the end so if you want the stock sounds back delete the others then rename the files ending in .bak. All you have to do is delete the .bak off of the name.
Also, these files I used are not in any special format, I simply downloaded them from Zedge and used Root Browser to rename them. They are actually mp3 files renamed to ogg. You can change them to whatever you want, just make sure you rename it exactly how the original was named and change permissions of the files to 0644 before you reboot. It is 3 checks down the first column and just the top check of the middle column. Leave the rest unchecked.
Let's try this.
Maybe it will bring new life to my kids tablet.

Just download the zip and install with TWRP. It will install a system.img and a boot.img.

Great rom, thanks for your work!
Happy to see some development for this tablet again! I will try this out some day
*Edit: Can't you add like a way to switch between a few different themes, like in the systemUI folder, you could have the other themes but with another ending (like Icon1.IconTheme) and then it would rename itself to the file that it's overwriting
Awesome work
Awesome work !!!
Breathed new life into my old tablets....Thanks so much for the lite version.....exactly what this Tablet needs...now its nice and snappy. Installation was a snap with TWRP.

No problem. I appreciate the kind words. I was late to the party...only got this thing about 6 months ago...really cheap from a friend. As long as I have it I will keep modding it, though. At least until I can port something else like MIUI ROM or something.

Yes, It is set up to install a raw boot.img and a raw system.img, so no need to wipe data. Just cache and dalvik.

:good:Thanks to all for downloading (almost 400 ) my B06-slim² !:good:
As promised i made an AROMA ROM based on the B06-slim² version. For me it was more an exercise to complete this AROMA ROM for the G version.
As for the little spare time that i had i tried to make a version that has some features to add and to debloat further to scratch. It’s nothing too fancy but the first AROMA for our G model i think. I’ve enjoyed making it and perhaps i’ll make a new one if there’s enough feedback to add some more features in a next release :cyclops: !
It’s fully functional and tested. Smooth, no bugs (report when there is)
Hope you’ll E N J O Y !!!
Based on :
A2017G B06-slim² ROM
MiFavor 4.2
INSTALL : ( TWRP )
When you're on another ROM, stock (or even on B05-slim or B06-slim²) and you want a clean install just follow this procedure :
For other models, remove the first 2 lines (line1. "assert....". and line2. " abort....." in updater-script (in META-INF), save and rezip..
Or use this file : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579490489 . Unzip it and drag the naked updater-script into the META-INF of the ROM with 7-zip and replace the existing one.
0. In case you want to reflash your own apps from B06-slim², backup your personal apps with f.e. TB, ZipMe... (or whatever)
1. Make a full backup of your current device in TWRP ! (use it to RESTORE if necessary) DON’T FORGET !
2. Wipe cache / dalvik / data / system
3. Install : A2017G-N-B06-bootstack : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981646
4. Install : AROMA A2017G SL!M² DF!NR : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617938421
5. Choose your stuff to add or debloat, let it RUN and reboot, wait…a minute…or 2…
6. Done ! No more no less :cyclops:
AFTER INSTALL :
1. Go into Adaway/give root permission/download files etc. and update DONE!
2. When you added Youtube Adfree, you’ll have to go into PlayStore/settings and check “no auto updates” ! Otherwise the Youtube app will update again to that TERRIBLE ANNOYING ADD state!
INFO :
Stripped off : (like on B06-slim²)
Accuweather
Browser (ume)
Chrome
Email
Google Video, Films…
Maps
Touchpal (+languages)
Zte clock replaced by Google Clock
Zte calendar replaced by Google Calendar
ZTe File mananger replaced by ES File Explorer (imo a very good ROOT file manager)
….......
Baked into :
AdAway
ES
Google Calender
Google Clock
Minor Modifications :
Boot :
• Init.d enabled
• Dm-verity disabled
Zip aligned apk’s
Build.prop tweaks : (remove them in system/build.prop if not needed)
• Improved performance
• Faster boot
• Phone rings immediately
• Wifi scan interval 180sec
• Better call voice quality
• Better network signal
Added sounds LOS
AROMA Features to choose from :
• Debloat almost all remaining apps
• Choose SuperSU or Magisk (when installing modules aint working : just re-install Magisk in Manager and reboot)
• Add Google Dialer
• Add Google keyboard, Touchpal (activate in settings)
• Add Root Explorer Pro ( and remove ES )
• Center Clock
• Titanium Backup Pro
• Youtube Adfree Black Theme
• Extended Power Menu (normal white color)
Hope you'll E N J O Y !!!

Just give it a try. Should work too. First BACKUP !

Which mifavor version? I assumed 4.2 since based from other.
Thanks!
Is the EPM Mod the colored or the normal version?
Maybe add xposed to additional features.

Ok I got it to work. however I kept getting "Erro:7" in TWRP. To fix I had to remove the first couple lines in the updater script file. Looks like the patcher wasn't recognizing my phone correctly.
All good though. Great ROM!

Yeah, forgot to mention that. The first lines of updater-script has to be removed for other models to work. They're a safety check for G model.
So for other models, open Rom zip in 7zip. Go into META-INF to update-script, open with note++ and remove the 2 first lines ( line1 "assert..." and 2. "abort..."). Save and you're good to go :good:
Can someone please explain what the bootstack file is for? I have a A2017G stock rom. Do I need to use that? And do I flash it with twrp?
Hi
I came from RR and after restoring my apps and parameters from Google cloud, I have a problem with buttons on the notification panel. I can't organize buttons as I want maybe due to parameters from RR.
How can I solve that?
Could you check this app? It throws lots of warnings and I cannot use it. *on your rom ofcouse*
