I don't think so and can't see a real reason at first as the multiboot solution we're taking about here works with any custom recovery (backup separate roms? There's a thread with zip utilities that does it for every rom except primary iirc,i don't remember clearly what wasn't satisfying you with that way but better help development by here i guess, Philz jflte version would be way too far from main branch i presume among many others reasons..).

But i always thought that Chenxiaolong's dual/mutliboot solution was a great tool for a Dev maintaining several rom for same device or let's say a Dev that would need occasionally to check how behaves his recovery on both touchwiz and CM/aosp custom builds ;)

A great tool because as i said no need for a special recovery and roms that really behaves "normally" like on a single boot config if i can say, "it's all about" boot.img ramdisk edits, scripts and an amazing cleverness :)

This is the latest version https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte/philz_touch_6.48.4-jflte.tar.md5/, right?

And i have to flash it with odin v 3.09? Can i flash it with odin v3.07? just put it in pda/ap and i'm good 2 goo, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
I have partially managed to do what I wanted. Still a few things to see. For dual boot, it goes in raw-data, in this regard, since when you reset your recovery (in dual boot), it removes the "philz-touch_6.ini" file in the "raw-data/philz-touch" folder . This is normal, I guess?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
The recovery doesn't care about our dual-boot configuration,it only sees an usual /data partition.

That /raw-data path is only visible on device and when running a secondary or multislot rom,it's our initial /data path and the only place (while running secondary/multislot rom then) where you'll find the /(raw-)data/philz-touch/philz-touch_6.ini folder and file.

If you're running your primary rom obviously you'll see it under /data.

Recovery only installs or removes his settings file under /data , /raw-data doesn't exists for him.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
You're right, I made an error in my script in the research (wrong condition). In fact, with your info, I have no need to search since the file is located in a single place. Now, all works fine! :cool:

No, they are not missing. You just have to search a bit.

6.47.7 is missing indeed. But I could upload mine if needed?!

Hi. I've done a backup on my I9505 with the last version of PhilZ Touch. Then i've install a mod and now i want to restore the backup, but when i do that, it starts but it stops restoring android_secure. It give me error, i think because of the free space. Why?

edit: it says 'FAILED SETTING PERMS: -1'

edit 2: i've restored without android_secure and it worked, now i'm using the phone without problems. For now..

Like me so. A real pain supporting devices you do not own, mainly when so new with quiet no support or existing sources

I am aware of these ramdisk details. I unpacked whole ROM to look inside

If exfat modules were compiled along kernel, it should be fine. Else, we need to force them with insmod. Hopefully not needed

The time must be broken also in stock recovery probably as nothing in the ramdisk is there to fix it

Implemented menu height and scroll sensitivity (should be named scroll stepping) based on used font and current menu height for all phones

Hope it suites most of you

Note:

A few users of the i9300 are reporting that size progress during nandroid backup of /data is erroneous: actual backed up data increasing then exceeding too much estimated backup data

Can any one confirm if you also has this bug or not

If you do not have it, please also post here

How to reproduce: go to custom backup mode, select only /data and start the backup

See the size progress. It shouldn't exceed estimated size by much normally

You can see the compile date/time is more recent and from a few minutes only GMT+1 + DST

So, what about the scroll sensitivity? If it is not fine by default, play with settings and increase it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hanspampel:
Scrolling not much better. Same as before imho.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
At default setting maybe. Did you try to increase scroll sensitivity. You can set it up to 164 where the default is 82 and probably too low

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:

PhilZ, suggestions and comments:

1. Wipe menu become better and more intuitive (am I dreaming?). Like the option data+cache+system. But why did you remove the old "wipe to install new ROM"? Wouldn't it wipe the boot partition also?

2. I want to see an option to configure the multi_flash folder (where I can place the zip queue to be flashed).

3. I would join the backups, restores and deletes on the "Backup and Restore" menu.
