Sorry for the noobies questions but I've have some question regarding this awesome mod:

1) If I want to flash another rom as primary, it will automatically remove the second because I have to wipe cache and data for my primary and the second is in the /cache partition that's true ?

2)If I well understood, I have to flash perseus kernel for this mod to work ?

2) I can't do any operations in recovery regarding the second ROM ? Only in the app that's true ?

I will have my S4 today and I want to know all the things to do for having stock TW and PAC Rom, that's why I ask all these questions ^^ thanks for your help !

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yashvchauhan:
Not sure why, try installing an app called "SoftKey Enabler" on the AOSP ROM. It enables softkeys only on AOSP without giving 'SystemUI has crashed' error on TW ROM.

That way softkeys on AOSP ROM = win.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Updated!

No updater script edit anymore!

Noobfriendly xD

Read OP for more informations

delete romswitcher folder to update

and download the app again

BTW: I need someone who can make a tutorial video how to install this
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] AL_IRAQI:
Thanks For The Update

I prefer the old method

And I don't want the rom installed in internal Storage :(

Hi there, I have installed Wanam as first rom and pacman as second one I now can boot between both of them (using old rom switcher not the one recently updated) but I have a few problems in here maybe you can help me :

-can make calls but no receive calls ...

-can use menu and back soft key but no home physical key it just doesn't work in my i9500 pacman rom(solution suggested by yashvchauhan didn't work for me however I very thankful with him for his help)

-when lockscreen it's possible to unlock with any SoftKey (back or menu)

-I also use GMD gesture app to perform some actions using gestures (like go home, lock screen, change between apps and so on...) however every time I lock the screen GMD stops working and just rebooting works for me.

All this things happens in pacman rom (touch wiz rom works fine all this features I mentioned) hope you can help me if I'm missing something or if I'm making something wrong...... Many thanks in advance...

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] alvin14:
Flashed recovery now i cant access it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Arjav23:
I too agree

Can u instead make it install on cache and data partition like b4?

I thought of ext sd too but it might give an issue while mounting sd on pc , right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yashvchauhan:
Installing on external SD would be so awesome!

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

Hmmm I don't see how it would fail.

Go to play store on AOSP ROM (pacman in your case)

Download app called "SoftKey Enabler"

Grant superuser rights

Enable softkeys

Reboot

Softkeys come only on the aosp ROM that way
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Arjav23:
But if it were installed on ext sd and you boot into it say , pacman then when u would connect it to usb it would Mount sd and then it could possibly mess it up since rom is on sd and sd is unmounted

I started all over once again and noticed this:

-installed NEW rom switcher and rom switcher recovery

-reboot (turning off the phone and then entering recovery mode manually (power + vol up + home button)

-at this point phone just get stuck after boot logo again so i reboot once again and this time phone boot into TouchWiz system normally

-with Touchwiz system loaded i rebooted once more but this time using recovery option (instead of turning off) from the options showed by my wanamlite rom when i try to reboot my phone.

-this time my S4 enter got stuck at boot logo once again and didnt load system normally no matter how many times i have rebooted.

what i did to fix this was flashing philz recovery (i think it could be any other custom recovery) from odin and rebooting one more time, this way i enter my TouchWiz system once again......

Arriving this point will wait a fix to this if possible........if not gonna use the old method editing updater-script and using old rom switcher...
