People trying PARANOiD ROMs and CM10 pls replace the data.img and cache.img files with any of f the o ex included in China's PreInstalled ROMs and boot it if not working run his aroma install goto set default boot and apply again to the rom you are trying to boot this should solve this issue for now I'll update a package for other people today Hopefully so wait pls....

I have two more PreInstalled ROMs just be patient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] apurvapatel:
Asylum CM10 is working at the moment.

Did a clean install on sdcard slot 1 and booted. It run perfectly well the first time. Reluctantly I rebooted the phone and it worked. Also booted on the stock phone ROM and again rebooted into asylum... working great :)

Riversin, I don't quite understand your quoted suggestion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] REVERSiN:
Sorry about the 2 posts in arrow.....

Second thing everyone having trouble booting the second ROM from SDcard like PARANOiD ROM or so.... PLS download this file and flash it only if you have your ROM in the rom1 folder if its in rom2 or rom3 .........etc then PLS just unpack it there thats all this should fix it.

BTW it's needed in all PreInstalled ROMs i added so dont ask just download.... i had to compress it in a Computer previous files where packed in my Note so levels aren't the same.

LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-FfdI4hUTJReWoyaTEyZFhUbjg

As For the new PreInstalled ROMs i have here these two...

PreInstalled Asylum CM10 2.0 : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-FfdI4hUTJRWF9rUG51cnpyZHc

PreInstalled Staxxtanium PA v1.992 Beta v1.0.1 : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-FfdI4hUTJRbVBjWHJtMGtQeDg

Fantastic

I am now triple booting! Fantastic! Not sure what sort of magic this is, but I like it ;)

CM 9.1

XXLRQ Stock Rooted

PA 2.10 JB

Very nice work with the Aroma installer script. :highfive::laugh::victory::fingers-crossed:;):D:cool::cowboy:

::EDIT::

It would be awesome if I could edit the "Boot Menu" so that it reads as the names of the ROMs I have installed instead of the slot positions. Is that something I can edit myself?

::2nd Edit::

So there is a trick to getting SuperUser to work, eh? SuperSU works fine on my phone ROM (CM9.1) but SuerUser doesn't work on Stock or JB PA 2.10 (both internal SD). Going to try to mount slots via aroma and flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip. Hope that's right ;)

::3rd Edit::

Yup. That did the trick. Everything working wonderfully. Now to decide if I want any other ROMs on external SD :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
please somebody help me about the booting process.

i exactly did how it should be done, i had paranoid v2.1 and i have installed Alba's LRQ rom on "Rom1 int SD" and selected to show boot menu automatically. after that when i choose to boot the Rom1 int SD, it boots the default (paranoid) and whatever i choose i can just boot the default phone rom. i couldnt manage to boot the other roms which i have created with this dual boot script. i tried Alba LRQ and Staxx PA v1.7 but nope it just boots default rom. btw i have HydraCore v3.5 installed.

what is going on i didnt understand, the boot menu doesnt work for me? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
For me this also happens :\

I think that the tutorial should be divided in two: For those that have a preinstalled rom and for those that are doing a clean installation from a full wipe!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ssss69:
It happened also for me, but I noticed that in the internalSD/SDROMS I searched for the bootsdrom.cfg and it was empty:confused:. So i just opened the DUALBOOT.zip and then I extracted the bootsdrom.cfg which is in DEFAULT/rom1_int and I put it in internalSD/SDROMS erasing the old one(which was empty). If you want to use other slot, just get the bootsdrom.cfg of your slot in your zip

Now it worked, so it´s a problem in the script that doesn´t write correctly the boodsdrom.cfg , but you know how to solve it

chuandanh could you update the hydracorev4.0? Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nickshertzer:
I did a clean install per instructions in op. Not sure what the benefit is of a "preinstall rom " now that the aroma script lets you mount a slot and flash whatever from cwm directly to your SD card.

I assume that the hydracore 3.5 included is modified for dual boot and one cannot just flash the new ver 4? That might be easier to differentiate if it were named different than the official kernel. Also sounds like I need to wait until 4 is modified. :)

This multi booting is amazing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ofeliax:
Hi, my only issues about this version was: unsaved Savelog and when you set booting rom2 the script still stay on rom1(edit by hand and it work)

For the rest I was test all the others features and its was work perfectly

@ all

Have anyone successfully flashed a theme or similar zip directly to the sd rom.

If yes, please tell me the way step by step.

I tried it two times and killed my sd AND my phone rom.

Had to restore a Nandroid.

The first time it was after a clean install of a TW rom directly to sd intern without problems.

The second time after a copy a rom from phone to sd, only system, the set cache and data fresh, was also worked fine.

Only later by trying to flash a theme to the sd roms came the problems.

Hope anyone knows a solution or tip.

sent from my G-Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chuandinh:
Just do the same like flashing the rom. The problem may due to the kernel not the tool. I think gl v2x having this problem. Or you could modify the updater–script in the mod and delete all the mount and unmount commands.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nickshertzer:
No, but I know what I would do. Repack the full ROM zip file with the theme files before flashing it. So, what that means is, extract your theme zip to a temp folder on your computer. Next, use 7Zip to "open archive" of the full rom .zip file. Then, just copy in all of the files to the correct corresponding location. 7zip automatically updates the archive. Maybe rename it to StockRomWhatever-my-repack.zip

Flash that as a clean install to a freshly formatted slot and you'll be good to go.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

I was too slow! Got ninja'd by the op ;)

Chuandinh,

any hint as to how one could modify the boot menu so it reads as the names of my installed roms and not the slots? Or is that built into your modified kernel? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chuandinh:
Here is the tutorial how to flash mod, just a little bit different from flashing the rom. Hope you won't have any problem with it.

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.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chuandinh:
Currently modify the boot menu is not supported. Maybe in the future. I thought about it before, but didn't have time to do that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
Thank you this solution worked for me. But when i copy that file into the SDRoms folder, this time just that rom boots and the phone's default rom doesnt boot. i have always copy that file to boot sdcard's rom and delete it to boot phone's rom. So it is obviously seen that in the v2.0 script there is something wrong which prevents to boot in the boot menu all the installed roms.

@chuandinh could you please look at this situation. Thanks dude...

Synchronized SMS and MMS

Amazing work chuandinh :good: Loving you more and more each time I change my booted ROM :p

I am now running stock ICS off the phone and Paranoid 2.1 & Half Illusion oft the two internal slots.

As pinoypower said.... "Fantastic! Not sure what sort of magic this is, but I like it" :D

Chuan, one suggestion.... how great would it be if SMSs and MMSs could be synchronize across all the installed ROMs. I know they are stored at /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and in a unreadable .db extension ...... Just cant figure out how to merge the two .db files from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and /data1/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

Edit: May be a script to copy the .db file from the main ROM to the booted ROM at the time of bootup and then again copy the .db from the booted ROM back onto the main ROM at the time of booting down..... ?

Hope somebody can take this further.... :good:

Actually there are some changes from v4.1b until v4.3b

v4.3b HydraCore

- Fixed ROOT

v4.3 HydraCore

- USB driver changes (again!)

- Some performance improvements in initramFS

- JellyBean initialisation file changes

v4.2 HydraCore

- Fixed TW camera

- VFS Cache Pressure increased to 30

So it would be really nice to see a new version :)

any help would be appreciated..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TheRecRuiT89:
are you sure you were doing everything as in OP mentioned. Maybe you should flash another kernel to clear the dualboot's data and also delete the SDROMS folder. After that start from the first step. Because i had also problem on v2.0 but with v2.1b everything was solved for me. I am running 2 roms without any problem.

@chuandinh

I have a question for you chuandinh. For example I have got installed to my external sd rom1, CleaNote. When I launch that rom there is just around 800 MB place for application installation. Can we expand this size if yes how?

And another question: if we move some application to ext sd card on our second rom, where will they go :) ı mean if they go to the folder .android_secure which is directly on the root of ext sd card, i think they will mess up with the phone's default rom's .android_secure folder :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gattaga:
Thanks for the reply..

I copied the config files from the zip file, and then make the boot menu as default..

this did the trick..

@chuandinh.. can you please update the op.. cause this is too brilliant..

lets us use CM9 as base, and keep trying stuff like TW, CM10, AOKP builds etc..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] raj_ch2002:
i've following setup -

internal -> jellycore v2

rom slot1 -> TW cleanote 6.0

rom slot2 -> paranoidandrod 0.5

problem is, when i keep the folder rom1 and rom2 then i've to reboot twice to getinto the rom or else it gets stuck at the 'galaxy note' screen.

if i remove paranoidandroid 0.5 then everything works fine... it seems paranoidandroid 0.5 has compatibility problem.

following case works:

i can keep boot from phone, then jellycore boots but it will not mount internal sd, for thati've to reboot again.

I think, if there is paranoidandroid in folders rom1 or rom2, the internal sd is not properly getting mounted. did anyone else had this kind of issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chuandinh:
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.

I find it a good mix. TW for when I want to use MHL or AllShare to my TV, JB to show off latest firmware to friends (but not entirely usable as daily because of mem leak), and CM9.1 as my go to daily driver.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] apurvapatel:
Probably a wrong forum to ask this, but..... doesn't any of the JB ROMs have any kind of file browser installed as a system app? Out of all the CM10/AOSK/AOKP ROMs I have tried, I always first have to install a file browser off Play Store. MIUI is the only ROM which has a file browser installed.

Also, anyone been able to successfully record phone calls on JB ROMs?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gattaga:
You are right.. This is the wrong forum to ask.

BTW, CM roms tend not to have any extra softwares. You can always download off playstore, or make a flashable zip using app2zip.

TW roms have something called My Files which serves the purpose.

Never tried to record a call in my life, so cant help you there.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hara74:
@ Chuandinh

I´m now the OP for a Dualboot Thread in my German Forum,

and somebody told me to ask u for a little change in the Bootmenü.

In fact the Bootmenü does nothing until you choose whitch Rom should boot. A unintentional reboot and the phone stucks at ur Bootmenü, maybe for hours.

The Question is, could u insert a countdown, maybe 10 sec, then the Bootmenü boots the phone rom or the last booted one?

I guess that´s not a bad idea, if it´s possible for u to do it!

Extremely useful app. I've tried a few things and while most seem to work, I have run into a few issues. If Boot Menu is on, selecting Rom3 takes you to recovery. I've tested this by swapping Rom2 with Rom3 by changing the folder names with the same result. Have a few items on my Wish List too,

1. Possibility of all 5 ROMs on External SD?

2. Ability to label different ROMS for display in the menu.

3. Label display for the ROM being processed in Recovery.
