For me, it works fine, for the note 3, I don't know, I saw no feedback.

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Yes but why? That way, your description ... it's very limit! Do you talk about of a app which was on PC and phone? If yes, the only that I saw isn't compatible with Lollipop 5.0.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FPSUsername:
The data path of the apps (lets say /data) is on 1st rom /data

the 2nd rom has an other path to its data (lets say /Rom2/data)

Is there a possibility to use the path of the 1st rom when you are on the 2nd rom?

It has been asked before (On this thread #8)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Why ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
App sharing

I was running out of room on my internal 16gb and could not understand why. I have moved almost everything of any size over to external, and still only had 950 mb free. But after updating apps through play store on my primary, when I opened my secondary (slim 4.4.4), it eat up and additional 600 mb optimizing the update apps ? I am using app sharing.

I was pretty much out of room, so I wiped secondary caches and 2 gb showed up ??. What could have been using all this room with a small ROM/GAPPs and app sharing ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jigsawcrank:
Which apk version do you use for note 3 and which roms have you patched with it? p.s. I'm always getting data error in recovery if I patch with apk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks for the info! Could you tell me which ROM you're running the patcher on?

The fact that Alucard is not recognized as supported makes me think that somehow the patcher isn't loading its data files properly. Alucard 1.0b, 1.0d, 1.0e, and 1.0f (for Android 5.0) are all recognized on my phone. If you could send me a copy of the /data/data/com.github.chenxiaolong.dualbootpatcher.snapshot folder (will need a root explorer), I could probably figure out what's going on.

I'll add support for kangapop in the next snapshot :)

CM12 of AntaresOne, the others (Echoe TW 4.4.2 and Spirit 4.4.4) are still with the old (r99). The apps sharing works like that.

I get the folder and you send.

The folder is here, I took it in the recovery, a file is missing, I've not successful to take it, it's the "busybox-static:8.0.0.r99..." file, I hope you don't need it! If I go into /data/data/com.github.chenxiaolong.dualbootpatcher.snapshot folder of CM12, the files are differents, like the "busybox-static:8.0.0.r423..." file but I guess it's because CM12 isn't patched with the same Snapshot.

Maybe I should patch the kernel of others roms with the new patcher, however I don't if it works.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

I went through the recovery because even with exploring root, I could not quite recover all the folders.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
I found the solution, the method that I wrote above, I patched the Spirit rom kernel with your latest app, I installed it, booted on Spirit rom, installed your latest apk, set kernel as Multi-Slot-1 by caution even if not necessary, finally I tried again to patch the Alucard kernel, first in automatic, it didn't work, so after I re started with the other way, I chose in preset:jflte/kernels/AOSP/alucard-kernel and there, it worked fine.

Thanks! ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks for the copy of the folder! I think I may know what's going on here. It looks like somehow, the "files/DualBootPatcherAndroid-8.0.0.r423.g736a5cf" is missing (not your fault, it's the patcher's fault :p). Let me see what I can do to fix that.

EDIT: If that folder is missing, there's a good chance that any patched file won't install or boot.

I want to test finally Antares's CM12 as Multi-slot 1 and I don't want to mess my phone! Currently I have Shostock 8.0 as primary, CM11 as secondary and Slim as Multislot1. Then I should format Slim and I understand I should format internal memory to f2fs from Philz CWM? What about installation in case of Dual boot? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
No need to format the internal SD, neither to format in F2FS, I've almost the same config like you and it works fine.

My config

:

Echoe TW 39.1 - primary

Spirit rom based on CM11 - Multi-Slot-1

AntaresOne CM12 - Multi-Slot-2

I use this app, the latest. i've patched CM12 with it, and I patched the kernel of Spirit also with it, all works fine.

I no longer use the dual part, I use only primary - Multi-Slot-1 - Multi-Slot-2.

Note 3:

1st try:

patched temasek CM12 with the newest snapshot, was able to flash, but got blackscreen at boot.

2nd try: patched with debug 9 apk = same as 1st try

3rd try: patched with version 9 alpha6 pc and was able to boot, but got systemui fc all the time
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Did you make all wipes?

To install CM12, I patched with the latest app (given in the link above), only to path it, I used this app on my second rom, it didn't work with a rom patched by the alpha6. This app only works with a rom patched by an old snapshot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jigsawcrank:
of course I done all wipes... so are you trying to say that first I have to patch cm12 with the lastest snapshot and then patch it again with alpha6 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
From the first file you patched (1st try), could you open the patched zip and send me the "boot.img" file, "dualboot.sh" file, and the "META-INF" folder?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Unstable snapshot 8.0.0.r434.ga85ecd7 is up now. This release fixes quite a few bugs:

Fixes an issue where data files may not be completely extracted in the Android app causing patched files to be broken

Fixes the issue where if a file fails to patch, then the next file will fail also (causing the weird "Failed to patch: no error" message)

Fixes an issue where the gzip header in Loki'd boot images couldn't be found, causing some ROMs (such as Kangapop) to fail to patch

Also, the updated translations have been merged and support for Kangapop has been added. Note that if you install Kangapop,

do not

choose the option to enable on screen buttons. That mod will apply to the primary ROM instead.

I have ehoe as primary

Dan lollipop ge as dual

Antares cm12 as multislot1

Still have .95 gigabyte on system and 1.64 gb on cache, and I don't even share applications :eek:

The trick is heavily debloat your roms or convert whatever bloat you want as user app

Dual boot is the greatest mod I know of atm

Million thanks to dev chan for this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
I'm agree, before I had Echoe TW like primary and AOSB with full PA-Gapps like Dual, it worked but as you said, we have to avoid all bloat apps. I removed few apps in the TW rom (i.e: Gallery because I use QuickPic as data app).

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Now, I choose another alternative, the one to don't have Dual rom, only Primary - Multi-Slot-1 - Multi-Slot-2, like that, no restriction in the primary, 3 roms, it's already well! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks! I found out what the issue is. The developer of the ROM uses a really weird way of dealing with f2fs and ext4 partitions. Instead of checking which filesystem is used, it attempts mount the partition both ways and ignores whichever one fails.

The patcher doesn't really like that, so that's why it's getting stuck at a black screen. I'll see if I can come up with something to fix this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] peppe130:
Happy Christmas guys :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Or explain to the Dev of the rom how to write a script to check if the system is F2FS or EXT4! ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Unless the ROM you installed had an option to wipe internal, it is hard to see how it could have been wiped. Do you have a file manager like Root explorer that you can view your internal SD with ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] amieldl143:
Yes. Root explorer can't view. But regular touchwiz file manager I can view.. but cannot delete or move files
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MohamedN:
Use recovery aroma file manager to move your files
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
None of your files were deleted :) It's a bug in the patcher which occurs if your primary ROM has SELinux set to enforcing (like stock TouchWiz). Flashing a custom kernel for the primary ROM should fix the issue.

About of that, after to have wiped my system, those patched with snapshot r423 works fine, but not those patched with r435. I didn't still try with the snapshot r436.

Edit

:

Patched no successful with the snapshot r436, I chose in preset:Google_apps/Gapps-paranoidandroid and I unticked "Has a boot.img"

Edit 2

:

Re-installed the snapshot r423

Patched no successful, these Gapps, there is perhaps a change!

Edit 3

:

Impossible now to update again the ramdisk, so still without apps sharing (except on the primary), I thought that to do like the last time, to patch again all my roms with the latest app, install it on all my roms will solve the issue, NO! even not... For I don't know which reason, I've this feeling to be come back in the rear. I wonder if I don't try to patch again all my roms with the latest which correctly worked with me, the snapshot r423. my roms are patched with the r436.

Edit 4

:

Re-installled the snapshot r423

Patched all kernels with the snapshot r423

Installed all kernels patched with the snapshot r423

Now the apps sharing works fine

Patched PA-Gapps 2014-12-18 with the snapshot r423, the patching has worked with success, no issue

Patched PA-Gapps 2014-12-25 with the snapshot r423, the patching hasn't worked with success, impossible to patch it (certainly something has changed with PA-Gapps

Otherwise, all works fine

I think there is an issue with the patcher at beyond of R423 Version, maybe even above.... So for the moment, I stay with the snapshot r423, all works fine except the latest PA-Gapps.

I put all apps and files of Dec 25 (PA-Gapps) in the zip of Dec 18, except the files of installation of PA Gapps, the patching has worked fine, so I think it's an issue with the script of installation of this PA-Gapps (Dec 25). What??? I don't know but there is a problem!!!

[MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION]

If you can see that.

Edit 5

About of Edit 4, I'll try with the snapshot r434 or r433 to see what it gives.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
That can happen if you don't' first set primary kernel before flashing anything else - it will grab the last flashed kernel and try to use it as primary - I have done it several times myself.

Try flashing only a primary kernel - it should then come right up (and don't forget to set it as primary).

I am trying this out without much success. I am running CM11-nightly-12-30 as my primary. I decided to try negalite-wonderom-ng2_v1.zip as my first secondary. When I try to patch it, I get attached. I tried it both with android app and from windows. Of course same result. I am running sph-l720 (Sprint). Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Now I have a new problem that is a big deal. I am running CM11 as my daily rom, but would like to have a TW (Sacs_Custom_Rom_V4_NG2_10_01_14) rom to run on occasion. I restored my Sacs_Custom_Rom_V4_NG2_10_01_14 rom as my primary, set the rom and kernel. Rebooted and it worked fine. Next I patched my CM11-nightly-12-30 and gapps-kk-20140606-signed with no problem. Flashed both and rebooted. CM11 rebooted with no problem. I only did initial setup on CM11. I then tried booting Sacs rom and it gets to the bootanimation and goes no further. I flashed dualbootutilities and wiped cache and dalvik cache for Sacs and rebooted. Same thing stuck at bootanimation. I saw earlier someone else did something similar with Sacs. Any ideas to get around this?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it working. I don't understand what the set kernel option is for, but I followed the instruction, "Install the Dual Boot Patcher app again in the secondary ROM. If you have a locked bootloader, set the kernel for the secondary ROM (just in case)." I don't have a locked bootloader.
