Hi [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] remember my problem of the rom switcher not working? I reinstalled everything, both the roms & kernels. Everything is working fine with a few reboots on PAC Rom, but that's ok as it's still in development. What I think could be the cause of my rom switcher not working is when I had switched from Arrow to PAC Rom my battery was 16%, so may be there is something preventing the rom switcher to switchback. But even I fully charged my phone I couldn't switch back to Arrow rom. That's my wild guess, may be something else.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
How you cannot switch back? Does it reboot and not boot to touchwiz. Or you select touchwiz and nothing happens

In both case the app doesn't have root access or busybox has a problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rahulrai:
I don't know buddy, that's what happened with me yesterday. Whenever I select touchwiz rom & press ok nothing would happen. I did as u told, could be a problem with busybox, reinstalled that, but nothing. [MENTION=1239179]disturbed[/MENTION] suggested to reinstall rom switcher, did that but no result & then I had to give up after trying a lot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
check your root access

Btw please use discussion thread for these kind of question
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rahulrai:
everything is ok now. Did check root yesterday & it was running fine. Anyway will get back for ur help if I fall in that thing again, HOPE I DON"T. This rom switcher is a great development. Thx for ur awesome work.

Another dual boot solution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2285366 . Based on gokhanmoral's dual boot solution but with a nice looking AROMA boot menu, virtual secondary recovery based on PhilZ Touch recovery, Galaxy Tab 2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rahulrai:
[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] one question? when I backup in recovery will it backup the touchwiz only or both the roms? & if both then will there be separate folders for both?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Nasty_z:
Both. But it will be in a single folder. When you restore the backup, both roms will be restored. You can't choose just one.

Also, Grarak just said to use the discussion thread. If you won't comply, I'm afraid you'll only be ignored. I'm sorry if it's rude but this is the reason for the creation of the discussion thread.

Tried this with illusion rom and did not work.

I saw that illusion rom update script mounts data partion and extract data into it. I did not find any data partion in the zip file so I deleted the mount and extraction lines.

It does not work, not sure if that is the reason though.

So any ideas how to solve that?

securely and safely set up dual booting

Yesterday I managed to securely and safely set up dual booting on my galaxy s4 i9500.

I would share my procedure and ROMs. Thank me later.

NOTE:

1. I used the latest twrp recovery. You can Google download links for that

2. I used the latest omega ROM (I9500_Omega_v14_UBUBMH1.zip). You can also Google download links for that

3. I also used modified pac man ROM and Google apps from this thread. Pages 4-8......

4. Then I used the latest Perseus kernel (Perseus-alpha9-i9500-CWM.zip). That can also be found on Google.

PROCEDURE:

1) Flash any TW ROM (omega rom) and let it boot (if u are on TW ROM then neglect it)

2) After setting up Just reboot into recovery.

3) flash pacrom & GApps.

4) Flash Perseus kernel.

5) Reboot

6) Install the Graswitcher.apk or romswitcher.apk

Thank me later
