3. Linux ROMs (Bohdi, Plasma Active, WebOS packed for MultiROM)

You can find these systems in separate thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093797​

4. Uninstaller

MultiROM uninstaller: multirom_uninstaller-2.zip

Flash this ZIP file to remove MultiROM from your device. It will erase all secondary ROMs. If you don't want MultiROM menus in recovery, re-flash clean TWRP, but it is not needed - those menus don't do anything if MultiROM is not installed.
​

5. Flashable factory images ZIPs

I usually release flashable ZIP files based on new factory images from Google, so that you can have clean stock ROM as a secondary system in MultiROM. They are not rooted, no anything, except for occasional small tweaks to make rooting with SuperSU possible. You can find them in this folder on basketbuild or dev-host.
​

add boot.img which is compatible to the ZIP file.
