I have only 1 google account and use it on all multi ROMs. Had 5 at one point. Before app sharing, updated apps with no issues on all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
I think you may have misunderstood - I only have one account, I'm talking about sharing g play and services, I don't do this, I have different apks for g stuff installed in all ROMs as I suspect you are describing. My point is - don't try and share g play /services apks ;)

Hey Chen, when you have time please could you look at these (well it's ask in one script now) wipe scripts by [MENTION=4272718]hawkerpaul[/MENTION] http://d-h.st/EH9 and let is know if they are safe to patch and mount. I'm particularly interested in the kernel wipe but also the others may be really useful for cleaning multi slots if they don't go cleaning everything else.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Before the new DualBoot Patcher, I had the same account on my 2 roms, the same apps, however, the apps updates were done correctly without issue. Even Android Device Manager works fine for the both. This has not always been true.

For info, Android Device Manager enable to localize your phone, erase the datas, make to ring it... etc..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xk0niR:
So you guys would suggest to use the same Android ID on both roms?

So far everything works fine fo rme :) My only problem left is Superuser not working for every Application. Someone had this too and knows how to fix? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I have always had some problems with superuser not always working with all apps, so I use SuperSU instead.

I had problems getting SuperSU to work initially on newly patched ROMs - both with shared apps and non-shared app installs. I re-downloaded and patched latest SuperSU, and this time it worked OK (could not get the binary to install/update earlier). Would not work as a shared App.

Sorry for the confusion - was not responding to your post or would have used the reply with quote mode. Wanted to confirm that I did not use different accounts on different ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
For me, the same ID did not help in the past. Don't know why.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xk0niR:
Oh sorry I mean SuperSu.

SuperSu somehow doesn´t work for all Apps. But its okay, there is no app for me which needs SuperSu all the time and doesn´t work.

For example I patch my gps.conf in primary and just copy it over to the secondary. Its okay like this but would be nice if SuperSu would work for every app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Shanks:
No!! Don't user same android id,i mean why would you use same android id?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I'll check this out. Which app sharing options did you pick?

Android's init system kinda sucks. If any command fails during boot, everything stops loading and you get stuck at the boot animation.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Note: regarding the increase in boot time when sharing apps

*Any* increase in boot time due to sharing apps is a

bug

. It is normal for the "Optimizing app X out of Y" screen to show up, but if it's taking a long time at the boot animation, please let me know (along with your setup, of course :)).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Well, I can just say that I've patched AOSB as secondary, used the same Google Account AND, believe or not, restore user app data from TitaniumBackup. After booting, I'm sure I've used the new ID (and not restore the old one). Maybe TB make same ID in both ROMs. I'll try to figure out how to check them and post back.

I'm sure it's working, i.e., regardless installing secondary ROM, the first one remain as Google Account into Google Play. I'm sure.

Just a quick curious question .. If i want to clean install a new rom and if i Full Wipe my phone .. i will lose the dualboot abilities and i will have to install it again right ...

P.S. i saw the op it says do it in a certain way but i m just curious if i do it like mentioned above it wouldn't screw up my phone or anything ryt ..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kingzain900:
If you want to completely wipe the phone and go back to your initial state before dual boot, you'll need to wipe /system and /data (basically a full wipe).

Now, if you just want to wipe the primary or secondary ROM for a clean install of a new primary or secondary ROM and keep dualboot ability, then just flash Wipe
Primary or Wipe
Secondary (where s = [System, Cache, DalvikCache, etc]) from the utilities provided.

Hope that helps.

Hey hey,

I thought AOKP were supported (kinda like cm) but when I tried to patch this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2464677 . It did not work.

Tried doing it manually as well and for some reason wasn't working (turn into a chaos) Can you help directing me in manually patching? I do not want to be posting here asking you to patch things lol

Maybe im just confuse with the kernel portion of it.

Edit:::::::::::::::::::;;

K so I tried it again...this time i can't boot back to primary rom, just bootloop but secondary rom is fine. I flashed the secondary rom with ktz
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] `SBR`:
yes somehow the AOKP is not booting (maybe the ramdisk is different from CM) but a patched ktz kernel is working.. for me both roms are working

Edit- may be you have flashed the ktz kernel without patching which replaced primary rom boot img... just a wild guess
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mgbotoe:
I wish that was the case but its not. IUnno really Maybe i didn't patch correctly and some things got carried over to first
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Oops :o Thanks, it's fixed now :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks, I'll look into it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
WIll do :)

The error is caused by having a space somewhere in the path to the folder.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks for the suggestions! The message was a mistake. I meant to say that one copy of the app is used for each checked ROM. So checking the box for only ROM will not do anything. Checking the boxes for eg. primary and secondary means those two ROMs will use the same copy of the app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Wow, I wonder what caused that.

It should act the same way as it did before if you install Goldeneye as multislot1. For the partition space, you can use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.freespace&hl=en As long as the space in /cache is more than the size of Goldeneye, you should be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I'll work on adding the uninstall-when-unsharing feature ;)

As for cache/dalvik-cache, the patcher should already be wiping the pieces it needs to remove. Is this not working for every new ROM or only a specific one?

EDIT: Was the new ROM a CyanogenMod-based ROM? If it is, I think I might know what's wrong ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
I have 1.84Gb free. Used 0.15Gb. Total 1.99Gb.

Goldeneye zip file has 1.51Gb, but I don't know how cache will be used after installing it...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
From a quick look, these are the side effects that I found ;)

ADWipe - Primary Only

BloatWipe - Primary Only

CacheWipe - Will remove all multi-slot ROMs (but not their data)

DalvikWipe - Primary Only

DataWipe - Wipes data for all ROMs (but not the ROM itself)

KernelWipe - Deletes kernel configuration apps and other extra files in the primary ROM only

SystemWipe - Deletes seconday ROM and the caches for multi-slot ROMs (but not the data)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Ahh, if that's the size of the zip, it probably won't fit. If you extract the zip file and look at the total size of the extracted files, that's how much space it needs on /cache.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
But I've managed to install Goldeneye as secondary a lot of times...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Secondary roms system goes into our /system partition which makes 2.7gb.

chenxiaolong - could you add support for this TW ROM - 4.4.2 The Sickness Edition V2 ? ROMs that support WiFi calling are very few, and this is one that is small enough to work as a multi.

I tried patching and flashing it, and it initially looked like it would work - just about everything BUT the phone did. I used both #128 test patcher and stable 7.0 - with same results.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Thirsk:
Been a while since I've last been on XDA due to my reluctance to update past a perfect 4.2.2 rom with themes only available for that firmware.

But after trying this out...this is truly awesome. Finally I can keep my 4.2.2 whilst trying out 4 other roms for a side by side comparison!

Have anyone experienced where there is no way to go back to the Primary ROM (Phoenix 9.4) ? This is my 4th times stuck at my secondary ROM (Miui 4.7.13), switch works sometime, the 3rd failed was after I changed my kernel, this time I'd not done anything, it just not switching.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Have you first set the primary kernel after first booting up your primary? If not, it won't go there. If you are using a separate primary kernel, just flashing that again should get you back to primary.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Script working or not may depends on Android version,it was since android 4.4.4 (edit:4.4.3 actually) that it didn't worked anymore.

Yes you have to repatch roms or at least kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
You have to repatch it with a patcher app (or on the pc) from the link that has the latest app sharing snapshots in it.

Using DualBootPatcher-7.0.0.r131.geb3f241-snapshot.7z failed miserably to:

1. Boot Goldeneye as secondary.

2. Boot I9505_Eudemony_V2_Deodex_XXUGNG2_AEL_ULTRASLIM as secondary.

After flashing and rebooting, the phone enter in Recovery again (philz_touch_6.51.4-jflte as it matters).

This never happened before. Changing the kernel to KT (TW version) did not help in anyway either.

Should I try to repatch the files using other version of DualBootPatcher to test? If so, which one?

Same here with secondary Phoenix Rom (v9 and 9.4).

Everything is working fine except calls, it just freezes every time I'm trying to receive or make a call.

Clean flashed just the Rom and phone works fine so I guess it has to do with the patcher.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Exactly my issue.

So it appears to be an across-the-board issue with TW now - including supported ROMs that were patchable earlier. I may back up before 7.0 stable version to see if one might work, but as I am trying to patch ROMs never on the supported list - probably WOT.

Hope the OP comes back soon from whatever he is doing on his summer break - lol.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
No room in secondary for another TW - my primary is a daily TW. I was trying to get one with US TMo WiFi calling to work as a multi. Since I never tried this before, I do not know how well this may have worked earlier on "supported" ROMs, but I do recall a lot of posts about TW patching issues.

No other TW or other type of ROM has it (really surprised TMo doesn't provide that on international ROMs - would free up a lot of bandwidth for better network service - like "free" hotspot - lol).

Its not much but its donated with very respect for your work. [emoji481] [emoji481] [emoji481]

Tamirda phoenix rom works flawless as primary but it takes up almost every MB in system partition. So dual slot in unusable. But you could always use multislots for other roms loke GE or aosp. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I know all that and was doing so (Insane TW primary, Noobdev secondary, SaberslimKitKat on multi's - one with app sharing).

My issue is that the newest TW's I want to try as daily primary have NO WiFi calling. There are a few relatively small older TW's with WiFi calling, so I would like to have WiFi calling for when I need it. Have patched, flashed, and booted OK - except the phone freezes when attempted. They use most of the multiboot cache, but still have room on secondary for Saber - my non-TW favorite.

Note - calling problem is not WiFi calling not working - the phone itself is broken - apparently a general problem with patched TW's currently.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:

Someone knows if there is a good way to share the app data (from /data) too?

I really would like to see something like that for Whatsapp.

My idea maybe would be 2 little init.d scripts.

Right now I use whatsapp on my secondary.

Init.d script secondary:

pm disable whatsapp (to be safe)

copy data from /data/dual to /data

pm enable

start whatsapp via intent (am startservice) if thats possible. Because after freezing and then unfreeze the App doesnt auto start

create a dummy file.

Then the reboot script:

pm disable whatsapp

copy database back to /data/dual

delete dummy file (with dummy file you can see if data synced back)

The secondary init.d script checks for dummy file. If exist (or maybe content dependent) it disable whatsapp (cause data not synced).

Maybe thats possible.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
A far as I know, you would have to delete the ROMs with either the DuelBootTool (if you don't want to do everything at the same time), or format /system. You can use another tool in the link below that lets you move the data from each ROM around (except for primary though), so don't wipe data unless you absolutely have to. If for instance you moved data from secondary to Multi slot 1, you then would repatch the ROM you patched for secondary as multi1 and then flash the new multi-1 ROM and you are back in business.

If you ask me you should remove support for tw based Roms as secondary. It brings more issues than beneficts and it makes a lot more sense to keep it as primary anyway.
