Quick question...what if i want a GB based defy rom like GGL Rom on virtual system..which requires to restore boot & devtree also. ? Is it possible or it does mess up my original CM7 (froyo based kernal)
[Defy Android Development] crakeron:
You can only multiboot various ROMs that share the same kernel. Stock roms included ;).

Unfortunately the reply to your question is no :(

[Defy Android Development] dlhxr:
something is wrong, but i can't tell where the problem is....

in one of my virtual system, the mbm can't show the usage of each system correctly. it just shows corrupt...and it seems the wipe all vfs does not work.
[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
Is that a stock ROM?
[Defy Android Development] dlhxr:
nope... it's a miui rom. it worked before, but suddenly failed. i don't know what i did...

could you tell me how to find what happened to the mbm?

so strange
[Defy Android Development] dlhxr:
i know what is wrong. you are using busybox command to show the usage of partition and formatting, right?

i used nepotu's zip bm_cwm_mb_v0.3 for updating the bootmenu. here are two assumptions.

1.mbm isn't compatible with lastest bootmenu.

2.nepotu's script is incomplete for installing the busybox?

i don't know how to fix this, could you help me?

here is the zip nepotu provided.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=989327&d=1333836927
[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
I'm using the same zip myself. It's probably because of missing binaries in the MIUI installation. Are you using the original ROM from MIUI.us? I'm using it without any problems. Also try to make a fresh VFS of MIUI and see if it's working.
[Defy Android Development] dlhxr:
my fault. the problem seems not from nepotu's zip and it is from TWRP.

@nepotu my apology.

@royale1223 could you find a way to use another tune2fs or change the pattern of which mbm use tune2fs?

looking forward to your solution~

can someone help

i am on MIUI pikachu edition

flashed multiboot v.0.5 via recovery

it booted into bootmenu and selected nand to come back to miui

I then installed multiboot manager and created a new VFs as CM9

how now do i install CM9 nightly on the virtual system and keep MIUI as main system/

simpler steps the better

please can someone explain
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
1. Place on SD card CM9 NIGHTLY ROM you want to install and gapps (somewhere)

2. Reboot - you will go to Defy Multiboot <v 0.1> menu

3. Choose from list ->Recovery (CWM)

4. From the next menu choose -> the name of your VFS and wait

5. Next screen it's Recovery with MULTIBOOT sign on backscreen. Choose -> Install zip from sd card

6. Navigate to your CM9 NIGHTLY on sd card and activate (do not forget to install gapps afterwards choosing once more ->Install zip from sd card and navigate to gapps.zip)

7. When installing ends -> reboot

8. In Defy Multiboot choose your newly installed ROM and activate. Now sit and wait - it could take some time :)
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
I'm using ep3's 0405 cm7 nightly build with TWRP and Multiboot v0.5.5 installed, when using MBM1.40, it can't create vfs, only create a new folder with nothing in it. How to deal with it? Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Use images from mk11aa's multiboot.zip thread - they never fails

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=898210&d=1329032854

Unpack, change name of /fsimages folder to your taste and place in /multiboot folder on sd card - it is your new VFS

Note: all images are 300 MB each
[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
I'm unable to reproduce this bug, creating VFS even works in emulater. Can you upload a stacktrace?
[Defy Android Development] ashwanikoul:
tried this

but it went back to miui without any data.. like a fresh install of the miui..

tried various combinations but seems to go back to the same and never to either my original ROM nor to CM9

hence restored my backup and so am back to no multiboot

need fresh instructions
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
It's strange... lets find out what is wrong...

1. When you reboot - do you wait without interruption till the end of process? It will be stage of closing system, then rebooting (bootlogo visible) then blue diode lights on (do not interrupt), then red/yellow light goes on and on the end shows up dark blue menu of Defy Multiboot <v0.1> with list of VFS's and after gap three menu positions:

- Boot from NAND - to go back to your nand system

- Recovery(CWM) - to go into recovery of chosen VFS

- Reboot

2. If you choose Recovery(CWM) you can install chosen ROM in one of your VFS's. (Of course, you should first prepare empty images and place them in /multiboot folder on SD with suitable name of containing folder). On the next screen you will have list of VFS's (the same as on previous screen) and if you activate one of it, you will be pointed to Recovery for this VFS. This screen has lovely, big sign "MULTIBOOT" on the center of the screen - to be sure so you are in recovery for virtual system.

3.Then you can install your ROM and what you need i.e. gapps to chosen earlier VFS. When installation completes, you have to reboot.

4. After reboot you wait till the end of process (as in first step) and when you will see dark blue menu of Defy Multiboot <v0.1> you can choose from menu and activate your freshly installed ROM . There will be quite long pause (there will be not bootlogo) and after that you should see bootanimation of your ROM.

At least thats how it works for me...

Change log version 1.42
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I also couldn't make the VFS images with 1.40 on Quarx CM72 on the Bravo. Once I made some images with DD, the program worked perfectly with everything else. Also, Gingerbread was spelled Gingerbeard in the icon selection. I'll test on 1.42 since its out now.

UPDATE

Same error with 1.42. Other than that, great program.

Also, Gingerbread still spelled Gingerbeard, and Picachu should be spelled Pikachu. Other than that, the only thing I noticed was that the Changelog\Help in the app is the first post of this thread, and the links on the thread aren't selectable in the app. One part says click here for help, and you can't click there.

The only one that is working is cm9 (the same one that I already have as my real system).

Please advise...
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Bear in mind that virtual system should have the same kernel as your nand system. So if you want to install on virtual i.e. CM7 you have to flash afterwards froyo kernel. You can find it in earlier posts in threed...

help with Froyo 2nd boot

Hi am using your MBM andits nice...

i created a VFS for Froyo but need some help with installing Froyo onto it as my 2nd boot...

i want to flash the nandroid backup of my rooted froyo...but the restore sys+data is giving an error in sys restore...what can be the way out guys...

currentlt Skamk CM9 is primary boot and Skank CM7 is 2nd boot...green lens
[Defy Android Development] kayyappan:
I would also be interested in having stock Froyo as one of the vfs like aribis.

Thanks to royale1223 and joydeep.

I noticed that it is not necessary to have only zip image of your ROM for vfs restore. I successfully used nandroid backup of my CM9 nightly (17-06-2012) via Backup and Restore option. I did not wipe anything as it was first install to the vfs I created for CM9. It went thru OK. Later I downloaded the CM9 nightly 24-06-2012 and gapps 29-06-2012 and after booting to vfs CM9 which I installed earlier did a zip install of both. It went thru very well. My base ROM is GGL and the only vfs I use as of now CM9.

But I could not succeed with Stock Froyo green lens.

After trying Boot Manager Lite unsuccessfully on few gadgets I found MultiBootManager to be extremely useful in checking out ROMs without disturbing one's base ROM. Of course the idea of trying nandroid on MBM came from Boot Manager Lite. Others also could have done it but I did not get to see any post on nandroid restore on MBM.

Great work.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

Thanks aribis, I saw your post of increasing sys img size to 500mb for stock froyo vfs and nand restore on mbm. Was trying with 350. Let me try now with 500.

That worked but rather very slow. May be it needs a high speed sdcard like type 6 or above.

Thanks guys.
[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
Nobody discuss restoring nandroid backups these days. This is probably because restore nandroid feature was there when Micha released multiboot 0.1 months back. However running froyo as VS is a pretty new topic is being discussed in multiboot thread now.

[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
Guys, let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm a medical student from India and I'm obsessed with coding. The only reason I kept developing Vibhinna is because I wanted to learn java and Android programming. Now that I've accomplished that, the only thing that keeps me developing more is your feedback. I don't care if you hit the thanks button or not. I just want to know what you think about my work. It can be positive or negative. I'm all ears as long as it is feedback.
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
Ok...being a medical student in India nd doing this much work is reply something....Coz...medicine study is HUGE .. .I know dat....n thnx from dis work.....!!!!!!

[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
It's not contradicting at all. I just don't like medicine.
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
I'm a psychologist, but love for Android going further from our studies.

About feedback, it's a very useful tool to make the multiboot feature easier, but I would like a couple of features for future. One: the possibility to edit size of partitions after installing virtual system. Two: A way to clone virtual system into a img in order to make easier future reinstalling in dump way.

Thanks!

Chinese translation update for 1.10
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Some comments to last version 1.10.beta:

- amount of free place in img's - should be shown as freeMB to wholeMB but now is freeMB to freeMB. In my opinion this is bug. In older version was properly

- during formatting img's there is very few information. Only from time to time some info. It would be very good if it will be shown by some kind of progress bar. Formatting takes some time and as it is now one doesn't know if it goes or not. The same is with resizing. And one more thing - sliders in choosing new size are very coarse - it will be better to put desired values by numbers.

I understand so this is beta but this is good time to make improvements. In general direction is good...:o
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
I had the free mb issue in last build.... Havnt tested multi boot since.... I downloading paranoid fr testing..... Will report after that....
[Defy Android Development] merhans:
does work with m11kkas multiboot?
[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
This bug should only be there in chinese locale. I'll fix that in next version.

This is because the mke2fs binary does not give a lot of verbose (I assume you want percentage by percentage update while formatting a partition). If you are familer with programs like GParted, they doesn't provide this kind of info while formatting.

I actually kind of like the SeekBars. Lots of similar softwares uses the same. The look a bit large right now. I will tweak it so that it looks more consistant with the ui.
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Thank you for taking in account my words. The app is still better and better :thumbup:

[Defy Android Development] royale1223:
Now I actually understand all the fuzz about the SeekBar. I'm using a 32GB card but there is never more than 1-2GB free at any time. I guess it'll be a bit difficult to make a 200MB partition using the SeekBar if you have 10GB free space. Guess what, I'll make the TextView currently showing partition size editable in the next version. Also know that the algoritham that syncs the SeekBars is already pretty heavy (you can notice the delay is displaying the resize dialog ), this change will make it even heavier.

I'm interested in any translation. By providing translations you'll be helping your countrymen who don't understand English.

Yes.

Keep up the great work

Firtsly thanks a lot for all your efforts Royale.

Your app works like a charm. Thanks to you I can do so much more with my defy.

The new beta is just brilliant.

I just have one issue. When I use any CM7 ROM as my NAND all is well. But if I use it as my second system it just does not detect the battery. I have tried all sorts of batt fixes.

Every other ROM works well as NAND or second system.
