[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NoobieUser:
Quick questions:

1) What if you dont press anything at boot?

2) Can use MIUI with this RomSwitcher?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] muzafa:
Does any body test tw as 4th rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] hotheabilly:
1. Then nothing would happened, just stay at black screen.

2. Tried on 4th rom cuz its as big as 900mb but stuck at samsung logo.

Hi to all, bought sgs4 2 days back rooted on stock 4.2.2. Downloaded omega 14.1 and pacman roms with gapps. I went through all posts from this thread but got confused. Please anyone explain me step by step procedure for dual booting. I had twrp recovery also downloaded perseues latest kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Nasty_z:
Download romswitcher.apk and install it. Then open it and follow the instructions till it tells you that it has to download files. Once the download is complete, open the app and it'll say that kernel is installed and it has to reboot. Hit Reboot now and the phone will restart. Once it's rebooted, open the app again and install Romswitcher recovery the option for this is somewhere in the App. Open the app and swipe to the right and you'll see a menu (like in YouTube app) in one of these options there's an option to install recovery. Once recovery is installed Reboot into recovery and go to 'Romswitcher' in this menu you'll be able to install 2nd, 3rd or 4th roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Shrey14:
Thanks for this info.

One question I have updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3 so is this method still safe to use as there is no custom kernel for 4.3?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Nasty_z:
I won't recommend it. I'm sure it will cause problems as the kernel that rom switcher flashes (perseus) is not compatible with 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Shrey14:
I thought the same. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ophirb:
First let ne say thanks it is an awsome feature.

Now for the problems - it seems that the special recovery has problems wiping the cache partition of the 1st rom. It stucks on it fir a long time then sometimes it completes on other times it reboot the phone.

This happened to me with or without a second rom installed.

When I tried to replace my 1st rom and had to do wipe factory reset, recovery got stuck on clearing cache partition for a long time. Then I installed the rom and found out that recovery did not wipe anything.

I noticed that after the above occur when I reboot recovery, it states some errors not finding directories all had to do with cache partition.

Keep up the good work Garak and thanks again.

You devs really give us some good time with our devices.

Cheers.

There is nothing about which version of sammy rom is compatible with rom switcher kernel.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Its not compatible so your phone won't boot until you flash back stock kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] AmmVid:
First of all, I want to thank Garak for his great work on this! Although it is not working for me. First, I tried Omega v14.1 and Pac-Man Rom, and I changed to the Pac Rom but when I tried to change back my phone was stuck on the booting animation. I restored. Just now I tried it with CM 10.2, the unofficial version ofc, and it wouldn't boot, so I restored. How I did it was I went to the recovery, cleared the things for the second Rom, and then installed the Rom then Gapps. Any help would be very greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] drshafi:
Same here did it as mentioned but pacman gaves me lots of fc's followed by complete freeze and when i rebooted(after battery removed and inserted) i stucked at boot logo. reflased omega 14.1 again via romswitcher recovery but with no results, then i flashed philz touch recovery did a complete wipe for new intallation and got back to omega. Please tell me what i did wrong?

Is it neccesary to flash only modified gapps which grarak posted earlier in this thread? Is it mandatory to flash perseus kernel after flashing second rom? if yes which version of perseus kernel i have to flash?

I know I shouldn't be asking for ETA but will u be bringing the pacman update soon?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] alex3run:
Does anyone know why there is a boot loop after Rom Switcher flashes its own kernel? I've followed the instructions while installing AOSP rom with modified updater script and there where no problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] drshafi:
No reply yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NoobieUser:
1) Install RS Recovery.

2) Boot into recovery.

3) Select install 2nd Rom

4) Choose un-modified AOSP Rom(No modified script)

5) Install Gapps to 2nd rom(Unmodified)

6)Reboot
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ophirb:
Your problem lies in the modified script.

If you are using RS recovery with tge latest RS app you do not change the uodater script.

Is this work with crash rom its based tw but its 4.3 mj5
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] drshafi:
But earlier I did it the same way you said used pacman and unmodified gapps flashed via rs recovery with no perseus kernel. Successfully booted to tw rom but when switched to 2nd rom (pacman) got multiple fc's with freeze and when rebooted got bootloop in tw(omega) rom. Is it neccesary to flash perseus kernel to 2nd rom? If yes which version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] alex3run:
So I did everything from this instruction correctly. The phone rebooted. But then I've opened Rom Switcher apk that flashed its own kernel and again bootloop :/

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
You guys are sure before flash you delete romswitcher folder?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] alvin14:
Didn't see this. So I guess everyone should delete the old romswitcher folder before opening rom switcher as to it installs the kernel automatically from the old download.zip?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Yes delete romswitcher folder please then it will update the kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] alvin14:
Cool. Thanks. That should solve everyone having problems after flashing kernel. Testing now after flashing back stock kernel. Also can you unload a manual kernel install via Odin?

STEP 3 : installed perseus kernel : https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmlnmjee79hj8qd/Perseus-alpha13-RAW2-i9500-CWM.zip and then fix the super user: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip. Do not fixing the root by clicking to restart the system

STEP 4 : delete the folders RomSwitcher and Rom- Switcher - tmp .

Can you please upload a recovery with Manual Boot enabled by Default just like the one in SiyahKernel with Only Dual Boot and Stock Kernel for First boot and CM stock boot for aosp since most people would use a cm base aosp i assume.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
I don't understand what you mean
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] alvin14:
I was wondering if you can upload a CWM compatible zip of your Rom Switcher Recovery with Manual Boot Enable without the need of using the Rom Switcher app to enable it and install it. Also to make it only dualboot. I think Quad boot is to much. Also if the Kernel for the first rom can be stock Samsung Kernel instead of Perseus.

Anyway to use dual boot at least.? The given method is not working for 100%

It was easier on my previous mobiles s2, note even before 1year back,..I wonder in my noteI we can multiboot upto 4 TW roms which is having 1gb each..they are making .img files for system partition also as system.img and using internal sd for avoiding memory issues..also it is coming with a beautiful aroma cwm file which is easy to install..

In S2 also on siyah kernal with dual boot.

Here we cant open your romswitcher app because of peculiar online method and faulty popup menu(always showing kernal installed reboot now?!!!even after installing kernal by dd method of pushing via terminal emulator.)

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] taylorhmatos:
But as we'll spend the log if we can not install your recovery because at the time the rom switcher sends reset the machine to install the kernel the phone is in bootloop eternal and only back to work with the installation manual kernel perseus. But then when you turn on the phone and open the rom switcher, he does not recognize the kernel perseus and asks again restart to install the kernel, and there is again locked.
