just apt-get it in a terminal windows, not sure if it updates the menus though so you may also have to launch the application via there

best way to do it is

sudo apt-get install gimp

then in a terminal run

gimp

dont close that terminal then though or the application will close :P

As written in OP, multirom needs patched kernels on the ROM that is active and the one in the ROM which has to be multi booted.

So when you upgraded cm10.1 the kernel has been replaced with the default cm one without kexec-hardboot, and this breaked multiboot ;)

Hello Tasssadar

Great work!!

I tried MultiROM in the beginning, I had trouble with the Android roms. And I just try version 6. This is just awesome. Works perfectly.

I pay you a few beers for your good work.

Thank you.

Hi guys.

I try to find the answer in the thread but after a hard search i can't see any question (but maybe i'm just dumb and the question was asked a hundred time :cyclops:)

about the keybord wich is not working on Ubuntu 13.04

Anybody with the same problem?

Anyone already find a way through to fixed that?

Thanks for your reply.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lintz:
If its the one posted by Tasssadar then the keyboard works. Only problem I have seen with it is that if you double mark the same text field, so it change the marker to "move-location". Then the keyboard will crash. But that's only on the first text fields when you boot it for the first time. When you pick location username etc.

Great news! The main developer of BodhiLinux for armhf (nexus 7) told me he may start building multirom zips of his work! :)

To update multirom do I just flash the multirom.zip in the old multirom twrp recovery then go to fastboot and flash the new recovery or is there some other special way to update?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nadiros:
First off thanks for all your work on this Tasssadar... truly innovative.

Question: How can I perform wipes on the added ROM? If I boot into recovery it seems to only manage the main ROM. Am I missing something obvious? Any support would be appreciated thanx.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] viper08:
Did you flash the custom recovery in the first post? There is an option within the recovery to modify your addition roms. Its under advanced then multirom and you can list ROMs flash zips and delete the rom etc....what was you looking at wiping?

You can access your ROM installation folders if you really want via the recovery file manager. They are listed in sdcard/multirom/roms . I haven't felt the need to wipe anything only delete ROMs and start again but I only do this from the multirom menu in recovery.

Hope this sort of helps you out

[Nexus 7 Original Development] viper08:
Just download and flash via recovery the multirom_v6_n7-signed.zip file. No need to flash twrp if you can already access the multrom option in recovery. The version has not changed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] simms22:
i apologize to the op if this doesnt belong here, but i dont use multirom. i need a user/tester to test out trinity kernel with the patch please, let me know if all is working right. thank you very much http://goo.gl/wpq5s

edit.. i forgot to mention that it boots and runs well. it just needs to have the multirom part tested put :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jawonder:
You must use the modded version of TWRP which is on the first page (OP) to get the MultiRom menu, if you use it with another recovery you won't have MultiRom. When you click on Advance in the modded TWRP you'll see MultiRom which when you click on MultiRom and you get an extra menu . Flash the MultiRom zip with the recovery you have then flash the Modded recovery via Fastboot on your Mac or PC or there are apps you can use to flash .img file "CWMR Touch Installer" works great it's a paid app in the Playstore i thinks it's just .99 cents . In "cwmr touch installer" just click on "Flash other Recovery"and search for the recovery .img you downloaded from the OP select it and the app will do it's thing, it will tell that the recovery was flashed .

MultiRom on a Nexus 10?

Ok, I did quite a few extensive searches on xda, but couldn't find my answer, so apologies if I missed it, but is there a port of this for the Nexus 10? Or is the architecture a bit too different to attempt it?

I can't decide between an N7 or N10, but the bigger screen size might be the deal breaker for my requirements. However, this potential multi-rom feature is even more of an interest, especially when you can slap on Ubuntu.

Ta for any repsonses!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] beanfarmer:
this is only on nexus7 at the moment and i dont think the dev is going to port it, although there is a Github link on the first post so someone might pick it up, on the n7 vs n10 thing id go for a n7 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bonzer2u:
I'm attempting to follow Tass's guidance but failing miserably in refreshing the plasma.zip for multirom_v6.

I downloaded the plasma_multirom_packer-master file and extracted it to the root of my ubuntu 12.04 vm system, hence:

/create.sh

/initrd.img-ubuntu

/zip_root (folder) with subfolders.

I su and cd /

type ./create.sh http://download.kde.org/unstable/ac...-nexus7-testing-mer-latest-2013-01-07.tar.bz2

and get

Downloading image...

./create.sh: line 61: curl: command not found

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;

perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.

bzip2: Invalid argument

Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.

You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover

data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

FAILED: Failed to download the image!

root@mjanzou-VirtualBox:/#

Hmmmmmm, Since it appears that the bz2 file is not liked? I manually downloaded and extracted the the plasma-active-nexus7-testing-mer-latest-2013-01-07.tar file.

Should I copy this tar file to the /root folder and use the -s option in the command?

or

Copy it to the /zip_root/rom folder and do the same??

or

???
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Try "Inject curr. boot sector" option in MultiROM menu in recovery, then reboot. Do you have 3g Nexus 7? If so, ubuntu will not work, this will be fixed in v2.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Still getting the same thing. And I have a WiFi only 16gb Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Tell me what exactly did you do, the whole installation process.

Also, if you can, get me the kmesg - when it ubuntu fails to boot with that error message, press power button for 10s, when it reboots press power+volume down. When you get to the bootloader, use volume up/down to selecte recovery mode and then power to enter recovery.

Once in recovery, enter adb shell on you computer and do this:

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/err.txt

This will create file err.txt on your sdcard. Get me that file, it is error log.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Here's what I did.

1. Downloaded rootfs.img, and the two files in the 2nd post (the modified TWRP and the Multirom zip)

2. Flashed the Multirom zip

3. Rebooted to bootloader

4. fastboot flash recovery modifiedtwrprecovery.img

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Added rom by choosing Ubuntu and then the rootfs.img

7. It rebooted and came up with the error i showed above.

And here's the err.txt
[Nexus 7 Original Development] karl0ss:
Hey mate, i deleted the "internal" folder and rerun the zip and now its all working, bl00dy wicked..your a legend..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
That is weird. What is the output of following commands while in recovery?

ls -la /sdcard/multirom
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/roms
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/roms/Ubuntu
ls -la /sdcard/multirom/roms/Ubuntu/root

Nice, when I'll resolve this ubuntu issue, I will release v2 which does this by itself.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Here's a screenshot of what comes up.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Select "Inject boot.img file" in MultiROM menu in recovery and choose the boot.img in folder /sdcard/multirom/roms/Ubuntu/, then go to MultiROM menu again and choose "Inject curr. boot sector". Then reboot. This _must_ work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Gösser Märzen:
Hi Tasssadar,

Thank you so much, MultiROM is an amazing solution !!! :victory:

I formatted my system partition before i flashed CM10 and Ubuntu, (just to get it superclean)

The bootmenue shows still 'Internal' that will get you nowhere in my case. (of course)

Maybe you could implement an option to remove unwanted entries in the menue in a later release.

This is only a unimportant, cosmetic thing.

U are the Superhero !!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Well, we're making progress. Now the MultiROM screen comes up on boot letting me get into Android at least. But when I choose to boot into Ubuntu, it's still giving me that same error.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
"Internal" ROM is supposed to be the one in internal memory, the "default", and the ones with another name are "addtional". I suppose you've flashed CM10 via MultiROM->Add ROM? Well, it is perfectly okay and will work, you are simply not using it as-intended :)

Delete it and try again, it must have got damaged somehow...?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Should I use the rootfs.img for 8gb or 16gb? Are they different?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
MultiROM v2 released, should fix issues with installation and 4.2. Also adds support for ubuntu on 3G version of Nexus 7 - untested, I do not have the 3g version.

Recovery was also updated, make sure to flash it.

PS: Whau, mediafire says that v1 was downloaded over 100 times already Oo

It should not matter, I suggest 8gb because it is smaller download. But I did not test it, if you are using 16gb image, maybe that is the reason why it did not work..?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Possibly. I will try the 16gb version and see if it works. I used the 8gb version first.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Also I can just flash MultiROM v2 over v1 right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yeah, just flash it over v1.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] veeman:
Okay yup. Using the rootfs.img for the 16gb worked. Thank you very much!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] IRX120:
I installed the ubuntu roofs.img, its preapiring the root fs now, I went back and read some more of the OP and I'm confused, is this going to format my internal data/sdcard?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] bonzer2u:
Thanks, I will try the install curl route first as I would like to see the process run as Tass originally intended.

The updated plasma bz2 file contained a tar file which I extracted and renamed to plasma2.tar, can I simply copy this to the /root directory and use the command:

./create.sh /root/plasma2.tar
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ltlollo:
sorry if i wasn't clear:

you can extract as root the rootfs in ./root then use the script with the -s option (continuing the script from line 63 "cd root").

or modify the script to extract your local tar.something file or whatever you like more

but it's better to get curl imo

how to wipe data/cache/ecc to a secondary ROM?

Hi,

VERY GOOD JOB!!! Really! Thanks.

I have a question (sorry if is stupid, but i have not found a solution), I have this boot configuration :

1 Internal Rom (Stock ROM)

2 Ubuntu

3 CM10.1

4 PARANOID

If I have to do a wipe/reset to PARANOID how can I do?

I suppose that TWRP menù to wipe is only for Internal Rom (1) or not?

There is no way to do this from the multirom recovery yet however if you did want to dig deeper into the ROM folder structure you could use twrp file manager and browse to /sdcard/multirom/roms/your ROM name. You will then see system data and cache.......do what you will but don't blame me......;)

From terminal in recovery right? This would be a nice feature addition from the multirom menu in recovery for tasssadar to add in future releases......
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xela92:
Multirom supports aroma. I tested this rom and I found out the problem is that developer didn't put the boot.img in the root of the zip, so multirom complains he can't find it. I put the stock boot.img (found in the directory "kernels" of rom zip) in the root and aroma started correctly ;)

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

i always use adb but it's the same, when you wipe recovery deletes all files in a directory (/data, /system, /cache...), you can do this also from gui navigating /sdcard/multirom/roms/ROMNAME/data (or system, or cache) and deleting all files ;) so, it's not so indispensable to have this option IMO... of course it would be comfy, but not necessary

[EDIT] I found out that Tasssadar has already uploaded latest plasma version. I need rest. [/EDIT]
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bonzer2u:
I finally succeeded in updating the plasma zip after I got curl installed and all for not as Tass already beat me too it, good learning process though.

I just downloaded Tass's template but have not gone through the 'generic' process to try it on bodhi yet so I'm sure I will screw it up a few times before I get it right.

In other words if you can go ahead and work on zipping the new bodhi release when you have the time that would be great.
