Yes, but... only if you donate OP a Note 3 :D Now he only has Nexus
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TylerDurben:
Hahaha, why not, if he bring a sgn3 version I am willing to donate my friend, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!!!

Is there any way to go back to stock kernel so that i can do ota and then flash a kexec-hardboot compatible kernel again?

Edit: i'm asking for the tilapia (3g) version of nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
Doesn't the drop-down give you the options to select a stock kernel? MultiRom is giving me like 5 or 6 different stock kernel options to flash.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] andreapier:
I think stock means stock + kexec-hardboot patch... Otherwise, multirom would not work!

I installed Ubuntu Touch thru MultiROM Installer. Ubuntu is very shaky, and freezes a lot. Is this how I should expect Ubuntu to be? I expected it to be just a little smoother. What should i do? My primary ROM is Purity ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aqsede:
i found a problem. i wanna flash pa beta.

"this package is for 'tilapia' devices. this is a 'grouper'. and i'm a tilapia. i think the problem is because we use the same recovery for both tilapia/grouper
[Nexus 7 Original Development] protoism:
Hi, I have been having the same flickering freezing issue; so i tried the above - went to /sdcard/multiroms/ selected ubunt-sauscy, but then there is no /home folder, so I can't proceed? Have stock KK 4.4.2 with kexec patch, with saucy stable 101. Also tried trusty. Any suggestions? Have I just missed something obvious? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pandacookie:
There's no home folder for me, either.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ales007:
in fact it wasn't there,it was in another folder i don't remember the exact path ,but you have to search in other folders ,hope you will find it :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pandacookie:
Found it. I can't recall the path, either. Damn! But it was in a folder called "phablet". I had to go through all the folders to find it!

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

Aha! The path is sdcard, then multirom/roms/ubuntu-saucy/user-data/phablet. Found it!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] protoism:
Thanks found it. Sorted the problem.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] flash5000:
Had the same problem recently.

You can modify the installer script in your ROM ZIP and change the device check at the beginning to the requested device. Tassadar explained in a quote of one of my posts how the recovery does the test.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aqsede:
I already tried that, but to many file to check(I dont know which one). I'll try again, searching for your post
[Nexus 7 Original Development] flash5000:
The file is META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

The relevant part is on the first few lines.

Thanks! I owe you one.

Is there a way to use another recovery? Is there any hack or something? TWRP is the most confusing piece of software I've ever seen, and I've been using Linux for almost 10 years now and seen many crappy GUIs (no offense, but... man...)... Would be really nice to have CWM or PhilZ recovery like in dualboot for i9300 (Devil/Googy). Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
It must be you then because I've been using software since the 1980's and Linux since the mid 1990's and I find TWRP perfectly understandable. In fact, I do not think a recovery can get any better than TWRP is.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Zwulf:
I just asked for a solution... btw. did you ever use CWM/PhilZ Touch? It's much easier to use, fewer clicks to do things. Maybe it's also a matter of taste... I don't need a GUI with huge buttons and many submenus but prefer minimalistic stuff, just works better for me. I find a list view of functions more neat. Just my opinion. If you like TWRP it's all right, but I would prefer to use another recovery. Would be nice if anyone could help... thx.

Tapagetalkt per Dirty Unicorns 5.0 vom Nexus 7 (flo)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I like CWM also, but never used it on the N7. I need the large buttons so mistakes do not happen I guess. There are three other people here next to me saying the same thing, they love TWRP. However, you said it was not understandable, but how can very large buttons with clear text not be understandable? The larger the text the easier it is for the Human brain to read. I find CWM outdated and poorly designed myself and hope it eventually has a UI similar to TWRP. To each his own I guess. LOL, wish there was a Multi-Recovery so we can compare the two side-by-side, haha.

Anyway, ask the OP if he is willing to try and Mod CWM. But let me just say that is a LOT of work for Tasssadar to do without any kind of pay, if its even possible, especially after he has already perfected the TWRP recovery method of Multi-ROM. Not sure if CWM source code is available, but maybe it is.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Zwulf:
Text of PhilZ touch recovery on N7 is as large as in TWRP. But this is off topic. I just asked for help with that. I don't want to discuss which is the better recovery. That's just a matter of taste. There is not the one best as you stated (human brain...). If you like it - perfect. I don't and you won't change this by telling me how brains work. I just asked if anyone could help - if you can't why do you respond? Anyone willing to help with that? Question was if anyone knows how to get MultiROM working with CWM or PhilZ, if that is possible... thx in advance.

Edit:

Yes!!! Got it!!! Default TWRP theme really sucks but now I use theme TWRP Holofield - this theme makes TWRP not just usable at all but really great! With this theme everything is logical, clean and neat, just how I like it. Confusion with this recovery is blown away. Now I see what's better on TWRP... Thanks so much for your help and your fantastic theme! [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION]

[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
Glad you found a theme that helps you understand TWRP. Also please accept my apologies for being non helpful earlier. I just instantly understand everything about TWRP so I could not understand your concerns and I never seen anyone ever talk bad about it before so I became defensive. I'm a mature 47 year old and usually never act like that, my bad and my apologies bud.

I just wish you and everyone else a very Happy New Year's.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
MultiROM was updated to v21 and MultiROM manager app to v1.73, allowing you to boot into ROMs directly from the app.

I've also added at least *some* FAQ and notes to the third post.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
Wow very nice update indeed. Great work man... :thumbup:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Streykatorato:
Any way to port this over to other devices? Im interested in seeing this on other devices! Im willing to TRY to port this to Note 3 SM-N9005! I guess there is a lot of work to do? Would like to give it a try;) thread owner: pm me if you are interested;) the chipset is the same as Nexus 5 i guess?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheIronMaiden:
After updating to multirom 21, I'm unable to access the "manage ROMs" menu in recovery . Don't know how to logcat, but I did update it within the app.

This isn't the proper forum.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shutin:
Wanted to share my joy and experience with this awesome mod.. I started with Team EOS's final ROM, a true classic and well worn but it was time for me to move on..

MultiROM: It looks #$%# sweet. Hidden Pong and Atari fonts? Yes. I wanted to try and install every ROM I could find. So far it's been hit and miss.

* Ubuntu Touch: This was why I tried the mod in the first place but it's BORING and ULTRA SLOW. Not worth the effort if you ask me. Erased.

* Ubuntu Desktop: Fails every time saying it's too large. Sad, but there's always Linux Deploy which has worked perfectly for my Linux environmental needs.

* PwnPad: How the f do you install this bz2'd tar?!? Sadz. Was REALLY looking forward to seeing this in action. Doh! Just untarred it and discovered it has a TWRP backup inside! Gonna try it out now. WOo! Remember to select backup.

* CM 11, nightly. Installed fine, may have had to NOT share the kernel, can't remember. Was going to become my daily driver until I found...

* Paranoid Android (KitKat): This was a struggle. I must have flashed it 10 times trying to get it to work. No amount of share/not share, gapps combination would work until..... I took a chance on me and flashed Franco kernel after flashing PA and latest (non-pa, oops) gapps and finally wiping cache and dalvic.. BINGO! WOO it worked! Very thrilled and am happy to share this wonderful discovery. Looks like a very promising ROM. IT CAN BE DONE! 4.0 BETA 201312 = KitKat = freshness.

* archlinux: FAIL. No go. Same as Ubuntu.

* Bodhi: FAIL. No go. same as Ubuntu.

* Liquid JB 2.7 OFFICIAL: Won't even boot to the starting screen. I flashed Franco afterward and it booted to a black screen. Giving up hope..

*Purity ROM: About to try it out...

Tips: You might not realize this but to flash additional zips on top of your secondary ROM, you need to go into List Roms, select one, and go flashing from there. Avoid sideloading anything. I still don't know exactly what sideload is for, but trust me you don't need it for this. To access the ROMS menu (this took me awhile to figure out) in the Play store app, tap the very upper left of the window and it will drag out another menu. From here you can boot into ROMS directly. Donate to this app! I did! It's one of the most original things to come out in a long time! Big ups!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] WhitestSand:
I have a problem.. I tried switching ROMs and it failed.... It ended up putting my secondary ROM as primary and I lost first ROM... Not a problem, I can always flash another ROM. But now I have lost touch in my auto boot menu. I can only move around screen with buttons. I have reinstalled recovery and still have the same problem.

...I have tried unchecking auto boot, still no touch control... Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ameinild:
This mod is so awesome - now I can use my old Nexus 7 as a testing device for new ROMs. Good work! :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shutin:
adding to my last post: just read that you need to install the linux roms to sdcard normally (dont take my word on it, untested). SO maybe thats why they didnt work. Will give it a go.

Installed purity, good, not great. doesnt distinguish itself from other better ROMS out there. sorry man.

Installed pwnpad: good but not very full featured. wait for the 2014 community edition

installed kalipwn or whatever it's called (Search for it, youll find a single download point) WOW! every damn script in this thing works nearly perfectly. i am SO excited to be running airodump and kismet fullscreen. Easy-creds works beautifully except i uh havent captured anything yet. Be warned, using a Alfa RTL187(sp?) via OTG will drain your battery in less than an hour.

slimbean has been a struggle, need to try flashing with a m1-r2 kernel and making sure "not shared" is checked. This is the one thing in MultiRom I wish was changed, that there was some kind of confirmation about wether you want to share or not share the kerne. it;'s too easy to miss that little radio button.

Other than that I am having a lot of fun on this! might have to donate again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aqsede:
As fas as I know, the recovery is already exist, you need to enable developers mode by clicking several times in version number and rename your device as 'deb' after the dev mode are enabled.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
It's in testing iirc. Check out the MultiRom community on G+ before trying anything.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aqsede:
Taken from OP in G+ Group, Tasssadar answer for the question that look alike,

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

I am using tilapia, it already released. but I need to manually change device name, not changing the manifest url to multirom-test as before. In Google play, v1.77 (7th JAN) was released clearly stated that it support 3G/4G N7 recovery. I don't think it's still in testing mode. but why need to manually change the device name?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] KiiKeEp:
Is there any way t flash a 4.2 JB ROM (MIUI) on MultiROM with 4.4.2 KK base system? (bootloader, radio etc) because I flashed MIUI and it won't start :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] murad052:
i dont think you get what i mean.. the problem when i try to add new rom.. its says this rom for deb and your device is flo.. thats because multirom use flo recovery and there is no deb recovery .. thats why i want to change it.. but i dont know how
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aqsede:
I dont think I write it properly. sorry for my english. Yeah, I use tilapia and I often got 'This rom is tilapia. this is grouper'

did you just try what I said? changing the device name in MULTIROM MANAGER will enable an update of recovery which dated 2013-01-05 which is build for deb, and is suppose to fix that problem.

Taken from Google Play change logs

* Support for individual recovery/MultiROM versions

for 3G/4G variants of Nexus 7. This fixes flashing

ROMs which are only for these models in recovery.

* Update translations.

Ubuntu 13.10

Hey there!

I was wondering, can I internally update Ububtu?

I got a notification which was telling me that I can upgrade to 13.10, and I need to know if it is safe to do so. I want to update, but I'm not bothered if I can't.

Many thanks,

JJE990

PS: Great Work!!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Unless you've changed the boardname before, it should switch to tilapia automatically after the app update. Can you confirm that the device name in manager is still grouper by default on tilapia device after force-stopping the app and then clearing all it's data in settings (or uninstalling and installing the app again)?

No, it won't work - Ubuntu Desktop for grouper was abandoned after 13.04 (I've tried).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] farmerbb:
It is not safe to update Ubuntu desktop to 13.10.

I tried multiple times to update it about a week ago. The updater will eventually freeze sometime during the update process, and even if you kill the updater app and force the update to complete using apt-get (and after re-patching init in recovery), the login screen will be messed up and it will hang at a black screen when trying to load the desktop.

It's worth doing this on a nexus 4 or too risky? I do not usually put all rom days, say it costs a lot to remove then?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] flash5000:
MultiROM itself does not use a noticeable amount of space. Adding and deleting ROMs is a very easy and straightforward process.

But this is Nexus 7 thread, make sure to install the correct version for your N4. The best way is to download the MultiROM Manager app from Playstore and use it to set everything up.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kalafior12:
I have a question regarding the application. If I install the same applications on two roms (cm10 and cm11 using multirom managrer). applications occupy a single space on the disk, as in case of using multiuser. Or occupy two times more space ?

MultiROM using usb keyboard

I've a nexus 7 2012 with glass and touch broken. Actually i manage it using a usb keyb or a bluetooth one.

I would like to install an archlinux distro inside and turning this little box (quite unuseful now) in a little but enough powerful toy to play with an apache+sql+php install.

But after install multirom (and trying to load an archlinux image) i've realized that menus are only managed via touch and my keyboard does not work.

There is a way to manage multirom (at boot and in recovery menu) without touch? There is a workaround? Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
I do not think there is a way to do it, as of now. But like you, I would love to see a multirom twrp with hid drivers. I have a spare N7 with a broken digitizer, and wanted to do the same but with ubuntu. I finally had to abandon the multirom option and just do a basic fastboot install.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
What do you mean, shutdown? The black screen with "An error occured. Shutting down MultiROM to avoid data corruption." text? There's only successful kexec command in that error.txt, nothing more.

You could control MultiROM GUI via hardware buttons for some time already (just press one of the volume buttons on the main screen, you'll see what I mean), and I've just wrote a patch to add mouse cursor to TWRP. I've submited the patch to TWRP gerrit, so it might get in there with 2.7. For now, try this version of TWRP, see if it works okay for you: http://tasemnice.eu/bordel/TWRP_multirom_grouper_20140129.img (just flash it and connect mouse via USB-OTG, a cursor should show up).

Mouse support in recovery is working beautyfully. Without making changes to my theme, the cursor appears as a red rectangle. Will include the proper cursor.png by the weekend.

lost storage space

I've been using multirom for a while now and I seem to have lost about 10 gb of storage space. When i look at storage space it just doesn't add up.

Total space 27.58gb

Available 9.24gb

Apps 1.34gb

Pictures 2.53gb

Audio 132kb

Downloads 48kb

cached data 310mb

misc 5.61gb

That leaves a good 10gb unaccounted for.

can anyone help me get my storage space back?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Is this your only rom installed? Probably just hiding in another rom as cache or something, you can wipe all roms to see.

After looking in settings on my device I can see that it doesn't see what the other roms have used so that's all.

Mine looks about the same and I have 6 roms installed and I know they are using at least 10gb.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] physwizz:
Thanks for that. I'll try wiping the cache from the other two roms.

Edit: i deleted both secondary roms and i'm still missing 4.6 gb. It might be multirom setting aside a lot of.space for the rom swapping operation. Did this happen in older versions of multirom?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Tasssadar

I have been using the volume keys to navigate the Multirom boot menu due to a broken digitizer, but tonight, the volume and power button no longer allow navigation. They work normally in bootloader and while booted to a rom, so there is no hardware issue. Have flashed multirom zip a few times to try to regain the function, but no good. Any clue on what could be causing the failure to respond to button pushes?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yeah, I probably know why. Give me please output of this command in your primary ROM:

find /sys -regex '.*input.*/uevent'

MultiROM doesn't allocate any space for itself, only the space used by ROMs. You can find out how much space they use by running this command as root (the numbers are megabytes):

du -m -d1 /data/media/0/multirom/roms
