Tasssadar, this is not a bad idea at all. The donations of a few to get the devices which will benefit thousands is more than fair. Here are a couple ideas.

Perks for donators- A special edition of multirom with extra features, such as backup of secondaries. Maybe even some individual personalization at a certain donation level.

Btw-As this all develops, will you still be updating and supporting this n7 model as normal?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
I don't want to do version with extra features for money. I don't like that, it's very annoying when you use something, and there's "do XXX", you click on it and it show "only for $3.99!". Everything is in MultiROM for free, and that's how I'd like to keep it.

The perks are currently only to have your name in donors list on XDA, in file in the source code tree and displayed during compilation of MultiROM. It is kinda lame, but I really don't have anything extra, as I said, everything is already in there.

My goal is to have shared codebase for all devices MultiROM supports, like TWRP has. So all updates would be for all devices.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nbsss:
The difference here is Tasssadar didn't come up and say "pay me to do xyz".

A few of us here have asked him if he was interested in developing for gen2.

He needs the physical device to do this.

He can't afford it (he's a high school student?). We still want multirom. So either we get no multirom, or we chip in to get him the device. Simple.

That said, despite the gs4 bounty reaching almost $4k, i think we'll struggle to get $500.

Mainly coz the demographic group of each device.

BIG generalisation, but basically GS4 = rich people, can afford to throw money on development.

n7 = everyone (cheap device), many of which are likely to be tight on money

I think 30days and with a bit of promotion by xda or other android blogs, we can do it.

A few android blogs have featured modaco switch on their front page, which got a lot of traffic, so i think its possible.

After reading like crazy, I want to verify that I can boot Ubuntu touch without fully wiping the device like it normally would.....correct?

And, the newest update that supports 4.3 will work fine with 4.2.2......or should I just run the previous version? This is pretty badass BTW!

And.....is the saucy broke bad enough that the recommended Ubuntu to play with ATM is raring? If so, it's these files right? The phablet thing's different then the saucy version....got me confused a lil.

raring-preinstalled-armel+grouper.zip and raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ChemicalSymphony:
1. Yes, no complete wipe.

2. Everything will be compatible except the kernel.

3. I prefer raring.

Running Trinity which has the patch I believe. And since ubuntu uses the android kernel (the one currently installed I'm guessing).....all should be gravy then. Thanks for the input.:good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rifraf1:
Got what may be a noob question but I need help. I installed the android 4.3 zip file that you uploaded and it all ran fine. I went to delete the ROM through the modified recovery and it will not remove the ROM name from the ROM list. Looking at the files on the device it has left behind one file system\etc\install-recovery.sh I can not delete, rename. move or change permissions on the file. How can I delete the file to get this ROM off my list/device. I have a tilapia. Is this an ownership thing. Any help appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] gokart2:
Everything seemed well (and easy). Choose the two raring files, etc. No installer errors. Rebooted to latest multirom, choose the ubuntu file (labeled as the.large phablet one) it reboots to the Google splash screen, then reboots to the splash again. Then reboots back to the multiromm menu? Tried saving a log, but it doesn't save (to the sdcard multirom folder I assume?) Gonna recheck md5's, etc.....any ideas/input would be appreciated. Want that ubuntu dammit! Lol

Edit: All md5's good. Boots to previous Rom "internal" no problem. Paranoid Android 3.68, latest Trinity kernel before multirom, and untouched since. Bootloader 4.13.....? Hmmm, just flashed 4.18 last week.....

Edit2: Reflashed bootloader 4.18. Same issue..... :'(

Today's saucy images work fine for me: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/

The indiegogo campaign is prepared, but I can't start it yet - my paypal account was not verified yet (I just never needed that), and it may take a few days to complete that step (paypal takes like $3 from your bank account, and you have to enter code from that payment to verify that this bank account is yours). Stay tuned, hopefully it won't take long :/

I'll send all money which are currently on my paypal (mostly your donations) to that campaign once it starts, but don't donate to my paypal yet, wait for the indiegogo campaign - if you do that, I can't guarantee you get refunded if it fails.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Same thing here on grouper..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
Can't replicate it here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Did you flash the SuperSu?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
That file has extended 'i' attribute:

It's probably some protection, this file removes any custom recovery. You can remove it like this (you have to go to recovery and use adb shell):

chattr -i install-recovery.sh
rm install-recovery.sh

I'll update the ZIP so that it does not set this attribute. I'm not sure if I should update recovery so that it can delete it, probably yes.

EDIT: Oh, wait, superuser creates that file and sets the attribute? Why? Anyway, I'll update the recovery so that it can remove it soon.

EDIT2: And SuperSU isn't even open-source, so I can't check if that's really it and if so, why does it do that, great.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
New recovery released, the deleting of 4.3 ROMs with SuperSU installed is fixed. Looks like I'm releasing the recoveries every other day now, oh well. Release early, release often I guess. It's a pitty goomanager can't update multirom's recovery automatically.

Is there a way to flash recovery on phone without PC?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
There's an app called Flashify on Google play that can flash recoveries and normal zips. There's also Flash Image GUI that just does recovery and kernel images.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ayanamirei33:
I use Flashify. It's free in the Play Store. :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Somebody in this thread suggested flash image gui app, but it is costs some money. You can use terminal emulator, but be sure to type that dd command correctly. This assumes you did not rename the image file and that you put it to /sdcard. It also requires busybox installed, but you probably have that.

su
cd /sdcard/
dd bs=4096 if=TWRP_multirom_n7_20130727.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

EDIT: apparently, I'm very slow at typing posts. Use that flashify app they suggested https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify :)

And I finally got to make uninstaller for MultiROM. Flash this ZIP, and it will completely remove MultiROM from your device, including all secondary ROMs.

I made ZIP instead of adding option to TWRP, because this way, you don't have to use modified TWRP to uninstall MultiROM (you can flash it in any other recovery).

Okay, here we go. The indiegogo campaign to bring MultiROM to the new Nexus 7 (2013) is live: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/multirom-for-nexus-7-2013/x/4034303

Contribute if you can, and even if you don't, please, spread the word and promote the campaign. Thank you.

I've already sent money from my paypal account to the campaign.

[MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] - $20 for you buddy - Hope you get your N7 (2013), and maybe another gadget or two to spread your "MultiROM" goodness.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] joeG78:
donated to the cause...will be getting the new N7 in a month or two...just got a N7 about 2 months ago, so want to get a little more use out of it before I give it to my daughter....also interested in porting MultiROM to my phone, exhibit 4G. Working on updating Rootbox to 4.3 for my phone too since rootbox fell to the wayside...So I have a clue or two about developing
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jdiamond7:
I'm really glad you are looking to spread the MultiROM goodness to other devices. Would you be willing to try porting to specific devices if we are able to provide you the device?

Currently there is no multi boot option available for the Verizon Galaxy S3 (US Variant). There's been a decent number of people wanting it so I imagine we could get the funds together to do something.

Providing there is no technical limitation, would you be interested in doing this? If so I can try to spearhead an initiative to get you the device.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yes, I'm willing to do that, but I'd rather go one step at a time - finish this kickstarter, whatever the result might be. If it is successful, I'll port MultiROM to N7 and then see how things are and continue porting it to other devices. By that time, the codebase should relatively well support multiple devices, so porting should be much easier.

Thread to discuss the campaign: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383602
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
I would imagine it would be really easy for tasssadar to also port to the galaxy s4 , but using a modified loki instead of kexec to achieve multiple installs.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jdiamond7:
Ok, I'll wait out the kickstarter campaign and talk to you about it then. Thanks!

question

Is there any possible way or hack to share data between two Roms using multirom?

I would like to try out 4.3 but don't want to have to set everything up when I am just going to switch back to pa when they update it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] joeG78:
I just did a backup in twrp of my current internal rom, did a dirty flash of the new rom, restored from titanium backup to get everything working right, then did a backup of the new rom with all apps and accounts, installed the backup in multirom and restored the backup of my original internal rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ~iSamur@i:
Months ago I've tried to link the data of the secondary rom to realdata, but it has some problems (it will wipe dalvik at every boot and loose your settings), also probably it won't work with different version of Android (also not sure if selinux will alow it)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
That's amazing, thank you for pointing that out!

No, at least not yet. The problem is, Android ROMs don't like to share data with each other, especially if the Android version isn't the same. You may have seen MoDaCo.SWITCH thingy, but that shares data only between two ROMs, and the authors have full control over them - installation package is over 1gb big because it contains both Sense and AOSP ROM. I, on the other hand, don't have much control over any ROM - you can install anything with MultiROM.

With that said, I'm not calling it impossible. I'd love to have data sharing in some form. Sometime :/
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zphantom55:
thanks

Yeah I did see the HTC one switch and was just wondering if anything like that was possible using multirom. Thanks for the response (one day maybe)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
Tasssadar, so how does this uninstaller work? Does it restore back to stock? Can I run this w/multi-rom via TWRP w/your recovery?

thxs

d
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
It will delete all secondary ROMs and remove the boot manager (the thing you see every time you boot with multirom). Your internal ROM and recovery remain untouched, so if you were using CM as Internal, it will still be CM and not stock android.

Yes, this ZIP should work with any recovery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aleeexxhh:
One question, the faux kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804374), is compatible with MultiROM? ;)

You need to flash a non MultiRom version of twrp

Well I am going to reinstall MultiRom for the 4.3 roms so I guess I can hold off ..

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Yeah, you have to re-flash clean TWRP, but it is really not necessary - those buttons don't do anything if MultiROM is not installed, and otherwise it is exactly the same recovery, plus these things:

* Screen rotation

* Hack for tilapia compatibility

* Kernel by Timur for those USB charging shenanigans instead of stock one

* Right now, there are some patches which will be in 2.7/2.6.1 version of TWRP (fix backup files permissions, for example)

BTW, the Indiegogo campaign is almost halfway through! I really hope it succeeds. I can finish of the last $100 with money I managed to save up, but I don't have more unfortunatelly.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
You can update if you want to, new bootloader works just fine. Sadly, there is no way way of knowing what's changed. Might be some security related fixes, but I kinda doubt it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
I updated to 4.23. May not be essential, but it helps to be proactive in avoiding future possible issues. And really, it only takes 1 to 2 minutes. No real reason not to.

I have a question!

When I have a second rom and want to update it to the newest version of the custom ROM, how to do that? Because on the "flash zip" menu it says I should not flash otas there. How should I update?

sent from nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EvanA:
A custom ROM zip is not the same as an OTA. You can flash the update in the flash zip menu just like you would an update to the primary ROM.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] -Johannes-:
Okay thanks :)

sent from nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
I'm afraid that would only create false sense of security - password is useless without encryption. Anybody can still get to the recovery or bootloader, and have full access to everything. The encryption would cause problems for all non-Android systems, because they usually don't support it at all. I'm afraid there is no way out of that.

BTW, since the XDA thread got closed, you can use this reddit to discuss and promote the indiegogo campaign: http://redd.it/1k2jez

I have 4.2.2 and 4.3 ROM installed. I wonder what happens with the kernel ?

If I flash m-kernel a60 for jb 4.3, and boot a 4.2.2 ROM, it works and trickstermod indicate that I have a60 installed ... But I though 4.3 kernel was incompatible with 4.2 ??

[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
In the ubuntu store, download dolphin. After installed, open a terminal and type "sudo dolphin" then enter you password. Dolphin will open and the sdcard partition will be in the left pane of the browser. There are probably other ways, but that is how I do it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
While in Ubuntu, create folder /host:

sudo mkdir /host

After you reboot, data partition will be mounted there. Data from sdcard are in /host/media/(if you're on 4.1) or /host/media/0/ (if you're on 4.2 or 4.3).

You need root to access them beceause of Android's permissions, and I recommend not to mess with them, because you might not be able to access sdcard in android afterwards.

is there a way to update Ubuntu to the new version??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rebel1699:
Are you referring to the ubuntu desktop for n7, or the ubuntu touch?

Ubuntu desktop for n7 has been discontinued, so the 4-21 release is the newest, and sadly, the last.

If i am remembering correctly, each of the new nightlies of ubuntu touch has to be flashed fresh. Hopefully someone else can chime in on the correctness, or incorrectness of this.

Yeah, I helped him to do it. Well, I did most of the porting actually, since he doesn't know C, but it is still just basic functionality and it is very hacky (it doesn't have kexec, for example).

Ubuntu Touch has update system in development, and I plan to support it once it's finished, but as of now, there is no update method which works with MultiROM.

You can update Ubuntu Desktop with...

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

I just tested current daily build and it works fine. Did you install it to USB drive or internal memory? Are you sure you had enough free space in there?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tasssadar:
Okay, this is getting ridiculous - I've received like 5 PMs from different people asking me to help them port MultiROM to device X in last few days. While I'm very happy that somebody would want to do such thing, I've decided it would be best for everyone to wait until the codabase is ready - which is probably less than a month, assuming the indiegogo campaign goes well. The reason is that if I help all those people now, it might *work* just fine, but it would result in a bunch of separate codebases, each one with its own hacks just for that device - nobody wants that, fragmentation is bad.

So, I appeal to all people who want to port it right now - please, wait until it's ready, it shouldn't take long. I want to get it to state when it will be like TWRP - once central repository with the code, and device folders with device-specific stuff.

Thank you.
