@m11kkaa: I have one querry, the sd card on virtual system is mounted as read only, right? when I tried to copy a file from PC to my SD it shows that its getting copied on it but when I disconnect and browse for that file its not there. A bit explanation please...

Is there any possibility to install Stock ROM in multiboot ? :eek:
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
yes you can ... jus restoring the nanodroid . But make sure u hav enuf sized system.img and cache.img for tht. :highfive:
[Defy Android Development] Euro_Rules:
What size of image needs ?

350 is enuf or not ?
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
350 MB should be enough, but make it 400 to be more safe and more free space on system.
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
you can resize filesystems, too

But as far as I know MultibootManager will only contain this feature in the donate-version(he said me he wants to make one).

However you can do it yourself if you're familiar with adb and linux-shell.

M11kaa do you know how to multiboot with ms2ginger and cm9?

Enviado desde mi MB526 usando Tapatalk 2
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
more details please:

1) which one in NAND and which one on SD

2) which versions of CM9 and especially of MS2Ginger(3 or 4 and which kernel, greenbreadmod??)
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
Ok, ms2ginger v4 FINAL in NAND and cm9 defy+ nightly of 26 from quarx. Red lens, GB kernel

[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
Is it possible to flash MS2Ginger4.0 with GB-Kernel on a defy without flashing full sbf? otherwise it would be hard to test ist.

BTW: Did you tried that and it does not work ord was it just a question if it works?
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
In fact, I installed ms2ginger with GB kernel over froyo 2.2.2 without flashing sbf. I tried to multiboot installing cm9 using multiboot app from royale (vibinha version), but after installing cm9 zip through custom recovery I tried to boot using 2nd boot and the screen goes black and the haptic buttons are on and with high brightness.

After that, I tried to boot normally to ms2ginger but didn't work, doesn't even goes to bootanimation. I had to restore nandroid.

So, here I am, asking for advance help.

system files resize

Here is another program that can help to do the same without losing all data...Toporesize!

Forgot the link but here is the file attached...unzip in your pc and run toporesize.bat...connect phone in usb datacard mode and find files from multiboot folder...voila!
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
Maybe u can make a backup script just like the one in cm to backup android-secure before wipe?
[Defy Android Development] wizwin:
'.android_secure' folder is used for apps which are moved to SD card. This folder is important only if you use the App to SD feature/move some of your apps to SD card.

Backing up the contents of '.android_secure' folder during a data wipe and restoring it later would be very time consuming (not bad considering data is still safe). I have nearly 900 MB of data in that folder (lots of app moved to SD :p). Maybe, we can just rename/move the folder (mv) and then move it back in a script once data wipe is done.
[Defy Android Development] @non4:
I never saw the need on a defy, plus I prefer the sd-ext method so yeah this folder is useless to me :)

anyone tried the Popcorn rom in multiboot, is even possible to run it under multiboot?

That's a nice idea! Rename that thing!!!!
[Defy Android Development] aribis:
having reboots while running Popcorn's ROM

i am currently running it on as virtual 2nd boot...but its restarting time and again...sometimes just after bootup and sometimes after running for 10-20minutes...have to do some checks to see whats causing the reboots...maybe overclocking is an issue...have to check!
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
I figure out how to multiboot ms2ginger as principal system and cm9 as virtual system, but now, time to time, cm9 just close apps itself and reboot with no reason.

Rom problem or multiboot thing?

[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I'd bet on it being a multiboot problem with CM9. Every CM9 I've ever had on multiboot rebooted itself every half hour or so. Tested with MS2Ginger3.0 + Greenbread Bravo and Multiboot .5x with CM9 Quarx 05-12 and MS2Ginger4.0, Multiboot Version .7 and CM9 Skank 06\10. MS2 was on nand, CM9 was virtual. Froyo Kernel. Perhaps CM9 and Multiboot don't like each other.

CM7 runs great on multiboot if you're looking for a stable virtual just in case you break MS2 while tweaking it for Gingerspeed.
[Defy Android Development] SkyKOG:
I have always been using CM9 on multiboot just until yesterday... and I was using cm9 extensively... just for internet tethering which doesn't work on cm9 I used to use miui on nand... I never faced any problems....

Ya n I used to last the froyo kernel itself....
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
This has happened 2nd time to me. If you cant read the text properly blame galaxy Y for bad camera :D

it says: "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable"

After this I cant go anywhere, only too many force close of apps, not even to home screen. Even if I wipe the data the problem remains. It needs a complete installation of ROM from here onwards. :(

Yes as I have touch bootmenu, you have touch bootmenu? As you need that for touch multiboot to work I think. If you do then you have same problem as me. Beware DO NOT flash non touch multiboot on touch menu or other way round, I bricked my bootmenu this way. As for roms I have euroskank cm7 by FUZZ as base and have tried flashing both epsylon and FUZZ builds of cm9 and did not boot, it worked with regular multiboot on the official cm7 nightly, but I don't know how to switch to normal bootmenu and I like FUZZs cm7 too.much to change it.

Thanks a lot guys! But now I have other question, I'm trying to follow this tutorial:

But at step 7 / 8, when I select 2nd boot, the screen become black and after some seconds the phone boot my "normal" system (the one that I flashed at step 1). Can someone give some tips?

Just if you have bootmenu. I think on devices with unlocked bootloader(is yours unlocked?) it makes more sense to port something like cyanoboot.

Hi there, i´ve been using 0.5 for a while, works good. But well, as everything in life, i go on with latest release, but seems i´m unable to figure it out how to make it work.

I´ve got WIUI 2.7.6 (froyo) as nand

- All i do is install from recovery Multiboot 0.7, that went well, reboot.

- In touchrecovery, in "bootmenu" option, set "secondsystem" as default.

- In "multiboot" option (i´ve created a virtual on vibhinna previously), choosed recovery, wiped everything and installed ParanoidAndroid 1.5 (Froyo), reboot.

- After blue led, multiboot gave the option to choose from wich rom i want to start, choosed ParanoidAndroid aaaaand.... nothing happened, just loop.

What i´m doing wrong ???

thanks in advance

EDIT: now i even can´t enter to the recovery from a new virtual, it just reboot.

I've got a few questions....

After putting the file in the root of SD,I flash multiboot and then I've to flash the second rom. I reboot and change boot options ok......In the case I've a GB mod on my defy and wanna try an ICS virtualized, I flash the GAPPS after flashing the rom??? And for delete the system virtualized on the sd?? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] Anhell:
yep, install gapps after rom, you must take into account that both roms, your nand and virtual must have the same kernel, in this case ginger.

In order to delete, just delete the files from sd card with any file explorer, do you know where are them ?
[Defy Android Development] kryptonitiko:
No, Tell me please! :)
[Defy Android Development] aribis:
You have to create a multiboot folder with the fsimages for the virtual system on your SD card root...you need to delete these folders when you do not need multiboot any longer...i hope you understand...read the first post again or also read this link...

Yesterday Night i tried to install paranoid android in multiboot....I create a folder named multiboot in the root of sd, I put in the images unzipped (the same in this thread), I reboot in recovery, flash the file multiboot (downloaded from the thread) and then I installed paranoid android but It was installed in the nand! Not virtualized.......where was I wrong? :(

from the Best defy ever: whiterabbitedition GB......waiting for ICS and JB
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well firstly, there needs to be another folder inside multiboot, call it paranoid or whatever you want. But keep the name short.

Secondly, after flashing the multiboot zip, you need to reboot into the boot menu and click on multiboot, then select recovery and select the name of the folder that you created inside the multiboot folder (dw it will be listed there).

Then it will take you to a recovery which has a background that says "MULTIBOOT" and also your led will be glowing red. Do your rom flashing there and it will get installed on the sd card. Then to boot into the sd card rom, go to boot menu and click boot, then select 2nd system.

Multiboot + CM9 = No network

Not sure if this is a CM9 problem or a multiboot proble,

I installed CM9 through multiboot. CM9 is installed on SDcard and CM7 is on the NAND.

I can boot into both fine. However, on CM9, no mobile networks are detected. When I try to manually search for networks, I get an error "Error while searching for networks". But there's no such problem on CM7. Has anyone faced this problem?

this happens only after i flash cm10 virual i believe ... i need to reflash cm9 to make my nandworking again ...

Kindly do tell a solution ...thnx :) ...

1: yes

2: It's always good to learn something :) ADB is a very good tool and I'm using this for everything.

Just follow this guide:

== on handy ==

- install SDK/ADB-client on your pc: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

- boot into latest/custom recovery

- Advanced->Start adbd

- Mounts and storage->mount /cache

- Mounts and storage->mount /data

== on PC ==

- open terminal/cmd

- execute the following commands:

adb shell rm -Rf /data/*
adb shell rm -Rf /cache/*

I think the multiboot messes up the battery stats because every rom has its own stats. I have no proof, but I think so.
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
The question is if you want a shared battery-stat ;)

I'm trying to download and compile CM7.1 since 3 days but no way.

My internet connection is too slow and if it's ready there are always compile errors.

So we have to wait until the bootmenu-devs will integrate multiboot into bootmenu. Then it would be easy to make a menu to choose between different virtual systems and define options for each(like battery stats or sdcard-virtualisation).

I would really like to do this myself but anything is very wrong with downloading the source :confused::confused::confused:
