[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Updated!

This is an important one. New RomSwitcher. Please download the new App (link in OP) and uninstall the old one.

I've rewritten RomSwitcher from scratch <- that means we have more features, but also new mount directories <- you must remove your current installed ROMs, and install them new. Now there is no limit for system partition anymore, that means as long you have enough space on the internal sdcard you can flash any rom. There is no rule anymore in what order the ROMs have to be. You can have AOSP as first ROM Sammy as second or Sammy as third, AOSP as second and you could even leave the default rom blank.

Btw: I dropped support for AOSP 4.3!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] saurabhp75:
Thanks master Garak :) for the masterpiece.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] saurabhp75:
[MENTION=2879148]garak[/MENTION] can you pls share the installation steps. I have CM11 installed and then I installed romswitcher.

1. then I downloaded the config files.

2. Downloaded the tools.

3. Installed the tools( it then asks to reboot, I clicked OK)

4. After reboot, I try to install recovery, but it says install the tools first.

I am not able to install romswitcher recovery. I have tried above steps several times but I am not able to install the recovery :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
does "mount_recovery.sh" exists in /sbin folder?

try to install it again, otherwise flash the file in /sdcard/romswitcher/downloads/tools.zip
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] saurabhp75:
Mount_recovery.sh did not exist in /sbin folder.

1. I manually flashed tools.zip.

2. Then I installed romswitcher recovery and rebooted into romswitcher recovery.

3. When I tried to install omega as second ROM from romswitcher, it got stuck in "installing scripts".

My Omega ROM zip is in ext SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
that will take really long on ext SD card

you should flash it from internal
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] saurabhp75:
Thanks... Let me try from internal :)

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

@garak, I tried from internal SD. The aroma installer of omega exited almost immediately saying that rom has been installed. But nothing was installed.

I think it is because of aroma installer?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Yes I am pretty sure

The recovery can't handle with Aroma
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] saurabhp75:
Thanks [MENTION=2879148]garak[/MENTION]. I am able to install nameless ROM as second ROM. With CM11 as my first ROM.

Its is working fine :).

I tried app sharing but it didn't share anything at all...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
Thanks for updating the rom-switcher. It works well, and the new gui is nice.

I had to manually flash the tools, and I had some problems with permissions and external SD card that I didn't have before or using a different recovery.

At first I got boot-loop, but erasing rom-switcher folder took care of that.

I installed Omega as the first rom without a hitch.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ChampMEon:
[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] could you add some insight please.

I have a question. I doubt someone have come across this. If so, it would be greatly appreciated if you can answer this.

Now, I haven't loaded the Knox bootloader.

I am trying to avoid it. I want to install TW Stock 4.4.2 as a second etc ROM. Will this installation still add the Knox shizniz or does it have a different effect when NOT installed as the primary ROM?

Thanks :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] saurabhp75:
Aroma creates problem when you install Omega as second ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
I don't understand your question

What does the bootloader have to do with the kernel?

And why should this update the bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ChampMEon:
---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

Exactly my question.

I know that since stock 4.3 it adds the Knox counter right.

So what I am asking, is whether it will make a difference if I install stock as a 2nd ROM.

Will it still add the Knox bootloader during the installation process?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] usju:
I need some assistance to delete remnants of the old ROM system. Do i simply delete the .secondrom folder or is there anything else too that i have to delete? I am having trouble deleting that too.. guess i need to change permissions or something.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] zetlaw:
Cant use this. Ir got the same program as perseus kernel because its perseus kernel. Garak can you try and fix the a15 cluater not working and h2hsic wakelock. Its a problem that most of users run into. And tried many roms. I even created my own stock odex rom and it still have those problems. Im guessing maybe it jas something to do with hardware revision differences.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Bootloader is always there. Doesn't matter what you are flashing

Just delete it

You have to ask AndreiLux
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] usju:
I just did something silly - selected reboot into second rom from romswitcher recovery. There is NO second rom installed and now I have a blank screen when i power the phone on :(

CWM is my default recovery. Can i run some commands through ADB and make it boot back into first ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bandur:
just flash a different kernel, and then open rom switcher again when you have booted to get rom switcher kernel back
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] usju:
umm.... i flashed CF-auto root thinking it will flash the stock kernel (1st rom is omega) but still doesnt boot

Alternatively, do you think I can manually flash your recovery as default and install second rom to be able to boot back into first?

Edit: Never mind, I started from scratch and reinstalled all apps in my first ROM.

i was always on Perseus Kernel. i tried this with first rom Crash android 4.3 and was able to multiboot fine but had some issues with that rom not rebooting when rom switcher or any app requests for it. so i wipped the phone, installed Omega android 4.4, installed perseus, then rom switcher amd every thing went smooth. i was able to boot other roms.

only problem is installing aroma based installers and it seems the wifi tether doesnt work with this kernel and Omega android 4.4. Tether works if i install stock omega kernel. Also perseus used to work tethering fine on android 4.3.

If you have installed the kernel, please make sure that
