Yeah that's what I meant but you know some people don't figure not to delete things from one another.

4.3 is the latest official we have, boasting higher performance and so on (hmm...).

Most if not all roms can be found over on the thread below including many 4.3 ones.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2070419

As for 4.4, as I heard the only ROM is a PA (Paranoid Android) based rom. I tested it and believe me the only thing 4.4 about it is the new printer setting and white icons in the Status Bar. But to me it felt like a revamped 4.3 ROM.

Lastly, you said you have an update asking for an install, most likely 4.3. Root DOES NOT defend you from an OTA update. On the contrary, OTA kills root. You can download and flash a 4.3 stock ROM found in the link above, that way you get 4.3 stock W/O killing mods. Kernels for 4.3 Roms 97% of the time comes with the rom therefore no need to flash a different kernel unless you want one that fits your needs. Sharing kernels is only good when your using two Roms based on the same android, or a kernel like M-Kernel which works on a 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 ROM alike. However, a kernels like the Elite kernel only works on 4.1.2 and will cause boot loops on 4.2.2.

Lastly, Ubuntu Touch is a dream that hasn't come true. I haven't bothered to test it thanks to everything NEGATIVE I've read. Desktop version however I tried out of curiosity. Which do I recommend? NEITHER. Stick to android. Multirom is excellent for experimentation. Just don't try to turn your Nexus 7 into a project and you'll be good.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
What was released by the PA team is currently hybrid AOSP 4.4 with some 4.3 drivers / binaries. No PA features.

It has more than the printing like the "OK Google" from the home screens, album art on the lockscreen, revamped apps (most noticeable is Email) and I'm sure others. As you say though Evolutionary vs. Revolutionary.

Overall seems snappier than 4.3. I'm on it now typing this.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Crossvxm:
To me it felt like a demo. I didn't like it and it had like 2 seperate launchers, which I hate choosing between launchers
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kaiyes:
So true....installed it as secondary ROM and dont like the dual launcher..but its kinda two thing though...not like two regular ones
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Devtaji:
First of all, my apologies for being gullible and believing in the forum posts.

From what I've gathered is that 'd have to wait a little while before I can use 4.4 as a primary rom.

That's fine with me.

BTW, I have grouper.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Crossvxm:
EXACTLY! The one with an 8bit icon looks very streched...looks like what a non genuine replicated Android OS should look like. But its not that...

You cant show off to your tech friends because you can see the old holo color in the app drawer. Boohoo. I still haven't found a better Rom than SmoothRom...and the ones that can thwart it to the past always have issue.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dicxz80:
My device is tilapia.

When i tried to install 4.4 tilapia aosp rom it said rom is not compatible with grouper device?

Any idea whether is it possible to install tilapia rom as secondary rom?

Thx

Sure : have a tilapia, maybe.

Try the slim rom version- slim kat. It works with the twrp multirom uses : the grouper version.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] phanitej:
Open the updater script file

Path is META-INF -> com -> google -> android -> updater-script

You might see something like

getprop("ro.product.device") == "tilapia" || abort("blah blah blah");

Just delete the line completely and save the updater script. Now this file should flash fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dicxz80:
Thank you so much ! it works !

I tested by installing cynanogen mod 10.2 tilapia but strangely I get bootloop installing franco kernel r75 on top of it

i love this nexus 7 cheap and powerful enough

but sadly I cant get rid of baseband_xmm wakelock issue (though my device can get good sleep but battery drain still 5% per hour) that is causing battery drain in standby mode :(

I hope there is fix for that from google else time to part with this awesome device :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gokart2:
If I want to fastboot flash a factory img (recovery, system, boot), do I need to worry about having MultiRom currently installed? Believe it doesn't matter since it wipes everything during the factory img install. Just want to be sure.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] phanitej:
As per my personal experience it will wipe everything. I had to do that when i soft bricked my Nexus. Later i had to re-install multirom and related files
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
The app was released: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr

Okay, let's do a bit of "beta testing", since it is so easy to do on Google Play. I have made an Android App which can install and update MultiROM, it's recovery and patched kernels and also install Ubuntu Touch system-image based builds on grouper and mako.

How to get in?

1. Request to this community G+ (it may take a while until I accept the request): https://plus.google.com/communities/110533213637866165470

2. Opt-in to beta test here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.tassadar.multirommgr

3. Install the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr

What to test?

I would like to ask you to test the app - try to install/update all parts of MultiROM with it and install Ubuntu Touch.

If the app crashes by any chance, remember to click "report" and not just dismiss the "xxx has stopped" dialog - I'll get the backtrace automatically if you report it.

How does it work?

The interface is fairly straightforward (and not particularly pretty). The main screen consists of three cards:

1. Status

View attachment 2377831

This cards shows info about current MultiROM installation and any kind of errors - when the app can't get root, when the internet connection is not available or when it can't download/parse metadata from my server.​

2. Install/Update

View attachment 2377832

On this card, you can select what to install/update and then...install it. When update is available, it is pre-selected.​

3. Install Ubuntu Touch

View attachment 2377833

(This card won't show up on flo, it does not have official Ubuntu Touch builds)

This card installs Ubuntu Touch system-image based build to Internal memory of your device, as a secondary ROM. You can choose version and channel, saucy seems to be the most stable at the time (but it is still pretty horrific on grouper because of Mir). It can't install to USB drives - is it needed?

ROMs installed by this card can use OTA update in Ubuntu Touch - in System Settings -> Updates (or system-image-cli tool in shell).

Requires about 2.3-2.5GB of free space in internal memory. The app currently does not check the free space - this shall be fixed.​

Logs

If you encounter some wrong behaviour, remember to get log - the app logs into logcat, so do *thethingwhichcausedtheapptomissbehave* and immediatelly after that get the logcat with adb:

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

Recovery logs to /tmp/recovery.log, as usual.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Can't try Ubuntu Touch atm but updating recovery and MultiRom went smooth on Grouper.

Having issues with uninstalling this (trying to give the phone to g/f and she wouldn't want to deal with the extra screen between booting.)

[off-topic]

[MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION], do you think anyone (or you yourself) will port MultiROM to Hammerhead? I still have to decide if I'm going for 16GB or 32GB, but MultiROM will instantly make 32GB my choice ;)

[/off-topic]
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
So yeah, we'll see. Basically what I'm afraid of is that N5 will not have very big community (like flo right now), hence it is better for me to buy N4 to support existing users better. I might do the "buy, port within 14 days, return" deal with N5 though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SGWUser:
Yes, thanks for the info :highfive:

I think you should buy a Nexus 5. At the moment, the N4 has the biggest community, yes. But sooner or later, that community will shrink and the N5 community will become much bigger. So if you buy a N4 now, within a year you'll regret that decision because everybody's on the N5 by then. Buying a N5 is more future-proof than buying a N4.

Just my 2 cents :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ~iSamur@i:
Damn, the device tree is implemented on the Nexus 5? For what I had understanded looking into the documentation this feature is for the various OEM, so I was hoping that the Nexus wouldn't adopt it :(

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
MultiROM v17, new recovery and the MultiROM Manager app were released. MultiROM now supports exFAT.

The manager app can install or update MultiROM, it's recovery and kernels, display changelogs and install Ubuntu Touch. Ubuntu builds this app installs are different from the ZIPs you were using up until this point (ZIPs are now deprecated), so it should work a little bit better and OTA updates with these builds work with MultiROM (updates from the GUI, not apt-get upgrade).

Thanks all beta testers for testing and reporting bugs, it is much appreciated.

4.4 kernel sources are not released yet.

I know that they aren't yet, that is why I am waiting patiently! ;)

The app installed and runs great, thanks. One note though, the app downgraded my recovery from 2.6.3.1 to 2.6.3.0. Was that OK?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rockknee:
Sry for being a little noobie but I'm confused about secondary rom kernel thing... I have now 4.3 stock with kexec kernel as internal rom and as secondary cm10.2 with cm's own kernel (means I don't share internal kernel). The question is do I have to either share internal kernel or flash cm10.2 kexec kernel? Now my cm is fully working with normal cm kernel but at first post there was mentioned that kexec kernel is needed for both internal and secondary roms. Thanks in advance!

This multirom is necessary for n7, just awesome and must have! It has never been this easy to try different roms and boot whatever I want, whenever I want. Great work Tasssadar, just don't stop! :thumbup:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] t1.8matt:
Thanks for this, I've never given MultiRom a try until now, this very much simplifies things. Great work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nicholi2789:
I have been using MultiRom now since version 9. I always thought a multirom application would be awesome. I just saw the XDA portal post and immediately downloaded the app to give it a shot. I had version 16A installed with an older version of multirom TWRP. I opened the app and it automatically detected what versions of both I had and what kernel and it gave me the option to update them both. I hit update and it used openrecoveryscript to automatically install the newer versions of both. It rebooted once during the process. The whole thing took about three minutes. So very very convenient. So yes, the app enables you to update very easily without losing your current setup. It also gives you the option to install several different versions of Ubuntu Touch (which I have wanted to try for a while) it's currently installing it for me.

Thanks alot for all your work Tassadar! This is amazing. I would like to send a donation your way as soon as I can afford it, your mod has made my Nexus amazing.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cjkacz:
I just installed this for the first time. Everything installed perfectly except Ubuntu doesn't run right. It runs for a minute and then the screen flickers and freezes. I tried 3 different Ubuntu versions
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rockknee:
Well my point was more like using rom without kexec kernel.. Cause cm works fine as secondary rom without kexec kernel. So I think I'll keep it like this.

About your question: just install the app and update with that. I did it too and everything fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gravedigger76:
Just installed MultiRom manager app updated recovery easy.

One question - it says i can isntall ubuntu touch with the app, but i'm not seeing the option to download/install it.

Am i missing it?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] flash5000:
Only the internal ROM needs to have a kexec-patched kernel, you can use whatever kernel you like for secondary ROMs.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
At the Ubuntu Touch website it says the 2013 N7 is not supported as of yet. Not sure if this has changed or not, but I think that is why you don't see the option to install it within the app.

I'm wondering the same thing. Already got a stock 4.3 unrooted as a secondary ROM. It's showing 4.3.1 update already and no doubt 4.4 will come available at some stage. If I understand correctly though if I did try and update it would perform the operation on the primary (internal) ROM and screw everything up.

I think waiting until a zip flashable through recovery is available is the best option.

In Ubuntu Touch, inside "System settings" there is an "Updates" part. These updates should work with MultiROM, just let it install in Ubuntu Touch and MultiROM will take care of the rest, that's assuming you have up-to-date MultiROM and Recovery and Ubuntu Touch was installed via the Manager app.
