I'm on r951 and when I flash the patched rom the recovery freezes up and I'll have to pull the battery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
That's because the AROMA doesn't support the Note 4 GPU yet (which is used to show the selection screen). You can work around this right now by manually setting the install location in "multiboot/info.prop" in the patched zip file (or by using [MENTION=3145598]rlorange[/MENTION]'s app).

EDIT: I'm actively working with the AROMA developer to get this fixed so hopefully we'll have this working out of the box soon.

I tried rlorange app to patch the rom I patched from r951 and it still froze the recovery. I don't know if he needs to update his app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rlorange:
Im no proper dev. My app works for me and assuming you have a similar busybox setup should work for you too.... Assuming you get how it works..

If you want to see if is my app at fault then manually unzip your v snapshot patched zipb edit info.prop accordingly and rezip...

If it it still won't install it isn't my app to blame

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

All my app does is grab the patched file you put in your slot folder and replace info.prop with an edited version without tedious unzipping and rezipping. If the patched zip is faulty it won't magically fix this

rlorange do i patch on dual or on the multi slot?

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

It's still freezing up in recovery after patching it with rlorange app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rlorange:
Hmmm the info.prop file must be not updating. You'll have to manually unzip the zip after patching with chens app then inside find /multiboot/info.prop

Edit the last line to

mbtool.installer.install-location=dual

Then rezip

Hi [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION]

I have a problem to flash CM12 on Galaxy S5 with r951, r950 and r945. Patching zip works ok but when I try to flash, before aroma start I have error:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
If secondary ROM, wipe system with recovery and it is gone. You might also wipe that slot's data and caches first with the utility zip to clen them out . For multi slots - wipe cache with recovery and their respective data and caches also.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HearMeWhisper:
What was the backup app again for the rom slots? Could someone post a link? Perhaps we could put it up in the op too

Lol that was one of my apps too but it won't work with the new snapshot patching system. I try to find the time to update or redo it

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

You just delete the respective folders in /system/multiboot/* /data/multiboot/* /cache/multiboot/*

Where the asterix is the multi path or the whole folder to do it all. Use any root browser
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HearMeWhisper:
Thanks, I really was looking to do a backup

Trltexx

How can i Boot at first a cm base Rom and the second a TW base Rom ?

I run into Bootloop on TW Rom ,i thing because of different kernel

When I use 2 cm base ROM all is just fine

BTW. Us there a way to wipe a ROM without wipe the other
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
You can use duel boot utilities to wipe each ROM separately - as well as its data only.

If the combined primary and TW ROMs are two big, they will not boot up (usually not bootloop though). Normally, the preferred order is to flash the TW as primary and the others as duel or Multislot. You might try that. After flashing the primaryTW (don't forget to patch it as primary) and setting its kernel, see how much room you have left in system. If not enough for the secondary, patch it as a multi (as you have 2,1 GB in the cache for it) and flash it.

Which patcher are you using ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] t0pstar:
Thanks

I will try to flash tw as primary

Duel boot utilities don't work on trltexx (note4)

Hello, i have problems with installing 2nd rom for galasy s5(G900F). It writes that my device is kltexx and not klte and dont want to flash the 2nd rom(TW or CM). Help please!

Patching was done with latest snapshot and android app is 8.0.0 not snapshot. If i try to use lastest snapshot apk then my AOSP kernel cannot be set(primary/secondary). Help!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
There is a setting when you flash to remove the device check, so that should fix your problem with flashing the 2nd ROM - which snapshot are you using? If you are using official 8.0.0 - it is not compatible with the new file structure with snapshots after #436 - see note below:

Note! These snapshots now fully support Lollipop (including 'system.new.img' block image installers), but these builds are NOT compatible with ROMs patched with 8.0.0.r436.g41f104b or earlier. ROMs patched with older versions will not show up new versions of the app and vice versa.

So install a recent snapshot android app and it should set the primary kernel OK. I have used snapshot 941 on both and worked good overall. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lukas77:
Use Snapshot r942, I have klte and no problem with flashing. Don't use any patcher after r942 it has bug and you'll be not able to flash patched rom.

I have S5 G900F , TW 5.0 as primary XtrStoLite 2.0 and CM12 as secondary. Basically you need well debloated rom to flash CM12 or SlimLP in your case. Download snapshot patcher r942 and if SlimLP patching will go OK then you will be OK to flash the rom as secondary.

Just in case do nandroid before you start.

Yes i made this app

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm2vugn3q8hvnct/Dual_Boot_Patch_1.1.apk?dl=0

Run it once and it with generate pathmultiboot Directory on your SD card and install a binary.

Next patch your rom zip using the snapshot patcher

Finally copy this file to:

/sdcard/patchmultiboot/dual/<patched zip>

Note run the app the file should show up in a menu click the box.

It will re patch the file so that it will bypass AROMA and install to the slot you patch to.

Patched files appear here

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
That's happening probably because the app didn't recognize the "ro.product.device" value inside the build.prop. Could you post the original build.prop file and the changes you made to it?

This should be something very easy for me to fix.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
New feature time! :D Starting from snapshot 8.0.0.r992, it's now possible to flash ROMs directly from Android without rebooting into recovery. In particular, Note 4 users no longer needed to worry about needing to edit the zip (due to broken AROMA).

To use in-app flashing, tap the pink floating button, add the patched zip files, and hit the check mark. You can change the flashing order by tapping and holding the file and remove files from the queue by swiping them away.

I'll stop talking and just leave some screenshots and a video below. The new snapshot builds will be published very soon :p

Of course, this is experimental, so be sure to backup before trying it.

Screenshots

Video

[youtube]gN9fhTMGIMw[/youtube]

One thing to note though: the majority of the in-app flashing code is actually part of the patched zip file (the app only really displays the output)., so this feature only works on newly patched zip files. If you try it on an older patched zip, you'll be greeted with this error message:

I will bump the minimum required version when critical bugs get fixed.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JhoonB51:
Try setting the kernel in the primary before flashing the second rom. In patcher choose roms and on your primary tick the 3 dots upper right corner and set kernel before flashing the next rom.

I did that.

I'm using r1001

I would suggest using duaboot utilities to "wipe all" for the slot you intend to use. It certainly won't hurt.
