Installed bmm and did a selective backup also , but when i go to storage and mounts , there is nothing to format the webtop partition ..I want to format webtop partition so i can multiboot , Can anyone help ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Az-one786:
yes it work for me...:good: i can install DU on system 3 without editing "recovery.fstab" file anymore..... i have stock jb on system 1... just create patition for system/data/cache and install rom without having any problem....:victory:

How to allocate 2 gb or 1.5 gb to data.img? I am unable to allocate it more than 1 gb. I am on JB 4.1 leak.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
No we cant.. 1gb is as far as we can go..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
You will have to create it manually.. In system 1(either in rom or in recovery) open a terminal Emulator or console and type in

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/data.img bs=1024000 count=1 seek=2048

That will create an empty image in your sdcard named data.img. Copy that over to /data/clockworkmod/virtual/system_($the system you want to create in).

Or you can do it directly. Like

dd if=/dev/zero of= /data/clockworkmod/virtual/system_($the system you want to create in)/data.img bs=1024000 count=1 seek=2048

Replace 2048 by the number of megabytes you want.

If you are doing in recovery, make sure the data partition is mounted..

Though I must keep you informed that you might run into issues when bmm tries to mount this image..

About bootstrap

Hi! My previous rom (JB leak 1) had bootstrap installed. But my current rom(JB leak 3) doesn't. So, does this mean that I can't install BMM? I wanted to try kexec roms. Sorry if this sounds noobish(which I'm BTW). I tried searching forums and only solution I could find is fxzing back to ICS and then installing. Can someone help me on this?:confused:

Edit: Okay!! I did a really foolish thing! I flashed numa rom because I read that it would remove all the recoveries and the phone bricked! please help asap!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Az-one786:
you are safe to install BMM on NUMA ... as i know, NUMA doesn't have any built-in recovery... but make sure you don't install bootstrap.apk if you already have BMM recovery install before ... :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Wrong. Notice he said he was on various JB leaks meaning he's on a JB kernel. NUMA is for ICS kernel only. That's probably why he soft bricked. Be careful the advice you give people, and make sure you're correct in what you're saying to avoid confusion and/or complications.

No worries. Just flash ICS FXZ, root, install BMM then flash the ROM of your choice. Make extra, extra, extra sure that you have the correct FXZ and you'll be a-ok.:thumbup:

Yeah! Did the same! Thanks to unlimited resources here and bam! My atrix 2 is back!! Thank God...It freaked me out! Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jbach44:
I have a question, can BMM be used as a backup/recovery (like CWM) or no? if not, how do I uninstall it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Yes it's pretty much the same thing as a CWM recovery. The UI is more similar to TWRP, but performs all the same functions as CWM and TWRP and then some extras (like multi booting). There is an option to uninstall within the app itself.

How to use BMM ?

I've installed the BMM today. I'm on rooted Stock ICS Atrix 2 (Asia retail variant).

I've taken backup of my msgs and apps so good to go for a flash.

on tapping BMM i see a promt havinig three options ->

1> Installer

2> Rebooter

3> Manager

I tapped on Manager it installed something.

Now what is the next step ?? on manager window I see the system setting for System 1 to 6. what all need to be done from here ?

I dont see any Activate for system 2 nothing like that as mentioned in the OP (probably as the one I'm using is a new version)

please guide what to be done from the BMM to flash the PAC rom ? (I've already downloaded the zip and kept on sdcard root) :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Reboot your phone.. If it was installed properly, you will see a droid after the boot logo.. Tap on it..
[Motorola Atrix 2] lparihar9:
Works for me !!

Thanks Ravi, I just missed the reboot part (or was really worried about being safe). :good:

Could you please suggest any decent stable ROM ?? :o

PAC's UI is not much of like for me :rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
we have pretty much every single source built rom that you can get on nexus.. try and find out which suits your needs. its not a good idea asking this kind of a question..
[Motorola Atrix 2] WarEduar:
Hi all,

Thx for this amazing job!!

Now, what is the best configuration for systems in sizes.

image (using right now 1 GB)

data (using right now 1 GB)

cache (using right now 1 GB)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
Use 1 gb for data, 500mb for system and 300mb for cache. That's enough. If you use more apps, give more size to data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] quasihellfish:
System: I use 500MB. I've never seen a ROM that needed more than that.

Data: I use 1GB, but that's a personal preference. Gives a decent amount of room for installing apps.

Cache: I always use 300MB, and it seems to operate fine, but I've never done any empirical testing to see if a larger amount is better.

Remember, the larger you make these partitions, the more space you're taking away from the data partition on your main System 1 (i.e. where you install all your apps). If you get crazy with BMM systems, you'll start to get "out of storage space" errors on System 1.
[Motorola Atrix 2] WarEduar:
Sweet! so many thx!

testing Right now Carbon 4.3, but getting FC on android.process.media..

So going for another ROM, any suggestion for estable / performance 4.2 andróid ROM?
[Motorola Atrix 2] quasihellfish:
No, and this isn't the right thread to ask that question.

You'll just have to try them all and decide for yourself :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] WarEduar:
Roger...

Resizing right now the systems. Thx again
[Motorola Atrix 2] maximus4k:
Hi,

Can someone help me or direct me to a thread where i can find more info.

Here is my problem:

I've done this:

5) just change 'vfat' to 'auto' and 'mmcblk1p25' to 'userdata' (its the same though..)

so that it looks like this

/int auto /dev/block/userdata

and of course save it and close it..

but now I'm stuck.

I dont know where to put the files for the custom ROM. I put them on the external SD card but BMM gives me an error saying that it could not mount /ext.

Am I doing something wrong? Do i need to do something different so that my sd card could be mounted?

sorry if this is offtopic.

Thanks for the info,

Gabriel Oprea
[Motorola Atrix 2] NFreak:
I have a relevant question. Is it possible to allocate internal storage from System 1 to System 3? I'm keeping 1 as stock ICS as a backup (~4.5 GB of storage) while 3 is my main system running PA (only has 1 GB).
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
You said install ROMS on systems 3-6. Are we not allowed to install a ROM on the first system? Also, what do you recommend for the system, data, and cache sizes? I play a lot of games. I also browse the web, watch YouTube, etc. Not sure if those matter though
[Motorola Atrix 2] WarEduar:
Data 2 Gb in your case, system always 500 mb and cache 300 mb.

the installation in system 1 works but is not recommended, there are people who do not work, in my case the unicorn dirty rom worked in system 1
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Thanks for the reply. Gonna try this out when I get the chance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
I installed Slim Beam ROM and in my downloaded apps, under Manage Apps, it only shows that I have 450MB available but when I was on ICS, It showed that I had over 3.4GB available. I'm assuming that has something to do with BMM. If so, how can I fix this to make it have 3.4GB available?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Which system did you install it on? If you installed on any other than system 1 then data (user app) storage will depend on how big you made the data partition.

Brought to you but time and relative dimensions in space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
I installed on system 3 and for data I put 1000Mb because for some reason it wouldn't let me put 2000MB. I'm guessing since 2000MB is the max, I can't get 3.4GB for data partition? Is there a way i can increase the size to 2000MB or will I need to re-install my ROM again in order to fix the partition?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
I don't remember where I read it but you won't have to start over. You'll only need to nandroid , destroy the partition, create a new partition the size that you want, and restore the nandroid.

Just out of curiosity, you really need 3.4 Gb for apps? I ask because I have a grand total of 72 apps installed and that's including the system apps. I'm not saying there's anything wrong if you do have a lot of apps it's just that I only use 192 Mb for user apps.lol

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Lol. I guess I don't need it. It's more of me liking all that extra memory. But 72 is a lot and I don't think I'll have that much lol. I'm gonna try it your way and see what happens. Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Hahaha, 72 apps total. I only have 17 downloaded apps and I've removed a lot of the system apps that I don't like/use.

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
yeah I get rid of system apps too. I think I have over 20+ apps installed from the play store. I just made my nandroid and then destroyed the data partition and when I tried to create the 2000MB partition, I got the following:

This will take some time

(fat32 don't support sparse file)

allocating disk space to image file..

but If I create the 1000Mb partition, it runs the whole set up of creating that size partition. Why won't it create the 2000Mb partition?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
i think I've read it somewhere in this thread that we can't create a data partition above 1 gb. don't know the reason..

Bmm for some reason cannot create a partition greater that 1GB..

[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
Guys I have AOSP (Atrix 2) installed on system 3 and I have changed the bootanimation.zip with a stupid app and now system 3 doesn't boot! I have to delete that bootanimation.zip from system/media folder but I have no idea how I can access there since system 3 doesn't boot any more because of that broken boot animation. I have tried with aroma fm file manager in recovery but system folder shows empty!

Flashing a random boot animation from recovery would also fix the issue but I couldn't find anything that works. I get errors when I try to flash the ones I found. Can you please help me? Just tell me how to delete that boot animation or tell me how to flash a working one please. Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
if its just the corrupt boot animation, then just wait for some time and it will show up the lockscreen.. as for why aroma does not show any thing in system folder is that you have to mount it first.. open console (tap on menu and you should find it..) and type in

mount system

now go back to your system folder and you should see all the files and folders..
[Motorola Atrix 2] kyolic:
After typing "mount system" in aroma console I was able to access the media folder! Then I have deleted that junk and system booted fine as before! :victory:

Millions of Thanks Ravi!!!! For a moment I thought I would have to re-flash the rom! :laugh:

Thanks a lot! :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] brokenaxe:
i didnt read the note

This may sound stupid but I didn't read the important note and bmm was installed after bootstrap. What should I do? I tried fxz into stock and still the battery is still messed up , the battery drain is intense. After searching in the forum for solutions , I can't find any to solve this.. Please help me

.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Battery issues are not the reason is stated not to use bootstrap.

Battery issues are caused by rogue apps, allot of syncing, or an old crappy battery which if the battery is stock, likely it's reached that point.
[Motorola Atrix 2] brokenaxe:
Okay, thanks for the info . I can't seem to find any rouge apps and such. I'm running Carbon 4.2.2 . Before I went to sleep it was 78% and after I woke up it became 58% . I have been using setcpu and it was showing deep sleep most of the time. Maybe its just my crappy battery?
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Thats really not too bad. 20% in 8 hours or so. JB roms are not known for their great battery life on this device.

But yea, a knew battery might help, if that is indeed the case.
[Motorola Atrix 2] brokenaxe:
It was like 6 hours. I went to sleep at 2 am and found the battery already half way dying.

Excuse my English, I'm 14 and I'm Asian.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
How do I update a ROM with BMM? Do I do it just like I would when installing a ROM? By going to install from SD card?
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Yes, just wipe cache and flash the ROM and GAPPs.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
To add to that, it doesn't hurt to wipe dalvik and fix permissions when updating also.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Why would I need to flash gapps if I'm just updating?
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Because they get wiped from flashing the ROM. It's been like that for a long time now. Not sure why they added that to script, but they did.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
Thanks for the help. Last question. Does that mean I need to make a backup of my apps before doing this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Nope, your personally installed apps will stay unless you wipe data. It's just gapps that need re flashed each time after flashing ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
recovery.fstab

I read the entire thread post to post

In the OP it is mentioned

Quote

2) Our phone does not have a partition for internal storage.. so we use the data partition for it.. To do so, just open a root browser like root explorer and navigate to /etc/bmm/conf

3) Open "recovery.fstab" with a text editor

4) The last line will be something like this

/int vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p25

5) just change 'vfat' to 'auto' and 'mmcblk1p25' to 'userdata' (its the same though..)

so that it looks like this

/int auto /dev/block/userdata

and of course save it and close it..

6) Done.. you are good to go.. Happy Multi Booting..

Unquote

My BMM was set up many many months ago by a friend of mine and now I am finally on the anvil of flashing customs roms on multiple systems. Just one query I have is when I navigate to /etc/bmm/conf, I don't see 'recovery.fstab' file. So is it the case that while my BMM was set up the necessary step was done as described above and this folder is now supposed to be blank??
[Motorola Atrix 2] masantula:
Hi, quick question since i am getting BMM from the play store, do i need to do steps 2-5 or i just need to install BMM and reboot and flash? or those steps are necessary?

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Follow the steps strictly to the T as in OP. I asked my question below as I did not set up BMM below myself and I do not see the file as Ravi mentioned in his OP. My phone works fine but yet I am looking for an answer.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
To be perfectly honest, I only install the app, then the hijack, reboot and select the "settings" tab, set up the other systems there and start flashing. I used the steps in the op the first few times I used BMM, and it does work that way, but I have yet to encounter any issues doing it my way. Like the saying goes "The directions are just another man's opinion" lol! :cool:

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] masantula:
Hmm... So what exactly does the steps listed in the OP actually do? If with and without doing them the app works
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Regarding what it does by following steps, since Atrix does not have a partition for internal storage.. so we use the data partition for it by following the steps as detailed in OP is what my u/s is. But as Badwolf has shared his experience you can try what he has mentioned as well (not clear about the hijack part)

Remember if you see the title of the thread it explicitly states its purpose and this is being done cause BMM is hardcoded for model Spyder & this thread is a method for getting it to work with our device with least issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] masantula:
Hmmm, That advice at the end is true to the dot. Think I'll follow the steps as stated since it has worked and not many have complained about it. Thank you for this. :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
This thread is 8 months old and you'll note that the op states that it is to get BMM version 0.3.2 working. If you downloaded or updated the app after the 2nd of July then you should have version 0.3.4 which in my experience (as I stated above) SEEMS to make at least parts of the op obsolete. (No offence to Ravi's work intended.)

When you first open the actual app and select install, it goes through 6 steps. One of which installs a boot hijack that can interrupt the boot process to give you the option to enter a recovery menu with which you can flash ROMs, wipe caches, make backups, etc. The reason the hijack is necessary is because the locked bootloader prevents us from overwriting the stock recovery so BMM has to wait for the system partition to start up before you can use it. Hence the term "hijack".

There are actually multiple posts within this thread, as well as multiple other threads started, by people having trouble with it.

That being said, I can personally verify that it works BOTH ways, but it is your phone and your choice.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] masantula:
I'm actually reading through the trend like you said, I am on Stock ICS 4.0.4, the At&t variant one, so i think i will skip those steps which i have to play around with Root explorer and just install BMM and reboot and do the Flashing part.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Well explained in detail Badwolf +1
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
So, did it work the way that I said it would or am I just lucky and/or crazy?lol

If it worked for you the way that it works for me maybe [MENTION=4624976]Ravikirancg[/MENTION] can be persuaded to update the op to show that it is much easier to install now.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Not able to access AromaFM File manager

Revisiting this once again as remains unresolved. Ravi advised Keep the aromafm.zip in /sdcard/clockworkmod & then advised since I am on JB leak to "Keep the aromafm.zip in /mnt/external1/clockworkmod i.e., it should be in external sdcard.

I don't see any clockworkmod folder in external1. I tried keeping it in root folder of external sd card as well but always get the same message "/*/clockworkmodmod/aromafm.zip can't be found" when click on 'file manager tab'. I don't know if it has got to do something to do with changing/setting permission of the zip file (coz saw some other file permission displayed in a screenie) or if it's got to do something to do with "Mounts & format" tab in BMM (wish someone could give more information specifically with respect to Atrix 2 for this feature as has seldom been discussed). Also I copied the file to mnt/external1 in root browser but when I am trying to see the file location to flash zip I realize the interface start in BMM at /ext/ & I do not see mnt folder under the same. Finally manually created aromafm folder inside clockworkmod folder i.e /ext/clockworkmod/aromafm in which I placed the aromafm.zip but still same issue. Also even in aromafm interface I do not see the /mnt/external1 folder which I can see in normal root browser.

Can anyone please please advise to get this working??
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
That was exactly my point. When somebody is looking for a "how to" thread for BMM on the Atrix 2, they find this one, where it lists several things that no longer need to be changed for the newer version. It would save newcomers a lot of time and effort if they didn't think that they still need to do all of those extra steps.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

That's right. If you flash a ROM that has BMM preinstalled, then you won't have to do anything to it at all. We can thank all of the devs for making it so much easier for us.:thumbup:

Internal storage space low issue in SYS 1 due to multi ROM boot in BMM

I too faced the internal storage low memory by the time I got to flashing my 6th slot today. My set up is as follows :

Slot 1 - JB leak 1

Slot 2 - blank (just have it activated)

Slot 3 - PA RC2

Slot 4 - AOKP

Slot 5 - Slimbean

Slot 6 - Mokee (did not go beyond boot splash screen and so have destroyed the partitions)

All above are JB 4.3 kexec on stock kernel. Each ROM has been set up as Sys- 650, Data - 1000 & Cache - 500.

I have attached the screenshot of data/media and as can be seen there is no '0' folder but just some many (non mime type) files of size '0 kb'.

Please Altered,Ravi, Devesh , would really appreciate if could be advised how to reclaim my internal storage space by deleting which unwanted files safely so that my system stability is not affected as else I simply am unable to use my phone due to major FC's all the time. Thanks in advance guys.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
B.U.M.P for below post

Guys please anybody who can advise as I get FC's on most apps due to low space warning icon. Does nobody face the low internal storage space issue. I believe it is an issue as Altered and Ravi themselves have confirmed this & only thing is I do not see folder named '0' in /data/media as described and so I am unsure how to solve this. Please help. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
in your stock system, using your root explorer, goto /data/clockworkmod/virtual/ and delete any system you dont want.. or from settings in bmm startup, recreate the partitions you want.. I usually create system-500 data-300 and cache-300. thats sufficient for trying out a rom.. and instead of asking pretty much everything and every single detail, try things out and figure them out.. :angel:

Good Luck
