Alright, I don't know what I've done. I flashed pac man as the second rom. And it got stuck on the boot. So I restored my nandroid backup. But it still boots in pacman and its still stuck. I don't even have the option to switch back to my first rom. What do I do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] matitorres07:
You sure that you flashed the fix to make the pacman rom work and boot?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Droidcore:
If I can advice,

Pac rom rom as primary

Everything will be all right

Remove 2nd rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Daki_23:
I couldn't remove my 2nd rom because I couldn't access my romswitcher recovery. The only knew I could access was Cwm which doesn't allow me to manipulate the 2nd rom in any way. But anyways, I flashed back to stock touchwiz and it booted up. Thanks for all your help everyone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Daki_23:
Okay, one more thing. Everytime I try and open romswitcher now, it tells me to reboot and boots into pacman which leads to me again flashing stock. This is getting annoying. Is there any way I can delete the second rom without opening the app? Because it's taking up unwanted space.

I do not have enough space for a non Chinese TW ROM and even if I use one then there will not be enough space for an aosp ROM so any alternative way of enjoying both roms other than using nandroids and restoring / backuping/ deleting ...

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
Is there a way to change to 1 st ron? Manual boot is not available anymore. I ve installed second rom, selected and boot in second rom. Then i ve open rs recovery through the second rom rs app. I removed second rom and rebooted. I get stuck at logo because romswitcher is trying to boot second rom and it was removed. If manual boot was present i would select 1 rom and thats it.

I flashed perseus, entered 1 rom without any problem, but i cant open rs app to switch rom because automatically flash rs kernel. What can i do?

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
I think RS only works with Garaks modified kernel. Maybe the problem isnt kernel related but recovery related. With RS I cant boot TW kitkat (thunder and Wanam) roms, but TWRP works fine ... Older CWM recoveries doesn't work either with TW kitkat, that leaves me to conclude the issue is with recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] amigorox:
Graraks modified kernel ?? And u can't boot them as in install them ? I'm sorry I didn't get you :(

Hitting thanks will not affect you :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
I hope Garak will explain how it works, but I understand that RS shares one kernel (supplies by Garak) for the installed roms?

Anyway, here is my logcat trying to boot thunder (TW rom) on the first rom with RS.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
Yes with the .IMG I am fine :) I will try odin, mobile odin, or make a flashable zip, I can handle it

I ve search all the thread for the .img but the links that the OP provided are down.. where is the .img of the recovery? :S
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] amigorox:
Oh ya you are right ( I seriously don't know why I didn't get you the first time) about the kernel not being the issue as perseus kernels are IMO made specially for tw Roms. They work amazingly well in all TW Roms. And I don't think the recovery is a problem either and anyway it is actually modded 6.0.4.7 CWM which is the latest

Hitting thanks will not affect you :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
I installed Perseus latest kernel, and booted up with TWRP to Thunder Universe 5.5 rom (TW 4.4.2) and it booted up fine.

I cant boot Thunder Universe with RS (even if it also uses Perseus latest kernel), and I cant boot Wanam's 4.4.2 with RS either.

Anybody successfully booted a TW 4.4.2 rom with RS?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
I did. I was able to boot omega rom 4.4.2 as first rom and cm 11 as second rom with the latest romswitcher..
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
Please OP or anyone would you provide the recovery to flash it and solve my problem? Links in previous posts are dead..

I have to make romswitcher to choose first rom because It was in second rom when I removed second rom through recovery. If I open romswitcher app it flashes rs kernel (second rom selected) and get stuck at bootlogo.

I am with perseus kernel in the meanwhile using my first rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
have you tried to flash a different recovery? Or kernel? I get stuck in bootloop with RS kernel, or several other recoveries, but twrp works and let me bout into my first rom. if u open rs app, then it installs the kernel, and I am back to boot loop... if you need to get into your second rom, you may need to flash a compatible rom as the first one...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION]

I need to flash a recovery that allows me to install a rom in second rom (only rs recovery).

WIth any other kernel my phone boots because it boots first rom (I have a first rom installed) but RS kernel "stills thinks" that there is a second rom installed and it trys to boot into second rom as default. There is no rom installed so It does not boot.

I need to flash Rs recovery and install a second rom.. OR find a way to tell RS kernel to boot on first rom, not second rom.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
I am running omega v18 4.4.2 TW as first rom and official CM 11 as second rom.. :S

very weird that tw first rom doesnt boot for you ..
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
I see omega uses a different kernel, maybe that is why. I will try, maybe omega will work for me as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] churrolakra:
No. Romswitcher installs its own kernel, it is a modified perseus kernel. So I am running both roms with romswitcher/perseus kernel, it has nothing to do with omega rom stock kernel, or wanam kernel (adam)...

I am 99% sure your problem is other..
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
I tried omega, and still the same problem, so now i am at loss as to what problem might be, since omega works for you.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] nagpalkapil:
It should be combination of battery saving and performance. No lags and best battery life. Choose ondemand processor, CFQ as I/O scheduler. Now try to undervolt, there would be volatages shown against each frequency reducing voltage by 25uv is one under volt. U may reduce voltages by 50uv i.e. two time undervolting which would maintain battery and device atability. Do not do much undervolting as its not good, two times is best for both device and battery. U may do it easily using trickester or kernel tweaker.

Hi, Grarak

" mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20", "/system"); " line in your PAC ROM updater-script appears twice,

so both lines have to be replaced, isn't it ?

Dear super-powered Dev' Grarak ;)

Thanks for your amazing app and modified PAC Rom an G-apps.

I think you should add links to them in the OP, as I see many users having problem with editing and zipping again updater-scripts (I've tired several times but always installation aborted...)

Cheers,
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] croach246:
I asked that same thing earlier, he said yes replace both lines.. But I still get the same installation aborted problem when flashing aosp rom.. I'm already on TW, edited scripts twice still same problem. Just tried unzipping and zipping and editing on the computer.. Had to leave home tho so didn't get to try... Don't see what difference it will make if I flash omega rom again seeing as I'm already on it but worth a shot I guess.

I mean editing scripts isn't rocket science.. Grarak explains it fine. There's obv some step we are missing (altho the steps are pretty clear....) will experiment later.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] croach246:
Hmm, try wiping caches before flashing aosp rom? Didn't try that as Grarak put in bold and caps " Do not wipe anything" lol

EDIT: WIPING CACHE DID NOT HELP. (still doing everything from phone tho)

When I tried it on the phone I used Es Explorer to do zipping and un zipping, then used 920 text editor to edit the code. That didn't work so tried it on the Pc, but that died (possibly during transferring back to device) so am not trying it until I can re-copy files to be sure.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] D™:
Use 7Zip for zipping & Notepad++ for editing. Then flash & revert.

Need help

I flashed pac man rom but apparently it's not compatible with rom switcher so I got stuck on the boot logo. So I flashed back the stock firmware and everything worked properly. Only problem is that whenever I start rom switcher again, it asks me to reboot and then boots up on pac man which again results on it being stuck on the boot logo and the only way to fix it is to flash the stock firmware again (nandroid backup doesn't work for some reason). So my question is this, is there any way I can wipe all the data of the rom switcher app including the roms without actually having to open the app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Droidcore:
