It works for Note 3, evidence here. :p

However, I think you should unfortunately trigger knox if you want to use it! :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] siriom:
Dont think I understand. I will trigger knox if i use it ? Is that what youre saying ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Not in using it, but to use it, you should put a custom recovery to flash the multiple roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] siriom:
Im not sure how this work but i have flashed roms and such with mobile odin and didnt trigger knox.

Does mobile odin not work to accomplish this ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
With mobile ODIN, you can't flash a custom recovery... and you need that to use multiple roms. To flash them, you can't flash them with ODIN, mobile or PC, it's identical.

Mobile ODIN avoid to flash the bootloader of a rom.tar. BUT ONLY STOCK FIRMWARE WITHOUT CUSTOMIZATION!

Personally, I've no problem with that, I always have the old bootloader of 4.2.2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] siriom:
Safestrap is limited to roms , it doesnt seem to flash kernels.

Im just lookin for a solution to have selinux permissive on my rooted note 3 without tripping knox .

The playstore app doesnt work

neither doesnt wanam ... its apparently harder to get selinux to permissive on a sm n 9005....

If anyone has a solution please inform me . This app might work , im not sure ... wish the OP would reply...

Thanks.

error using the 6th alpha on 64 bit windows 7. Any solutions? Shouldn't it be that 32 bit apps should run natively on 32 bit?

EDIT: Nevermind, I was using the wrong version of the dll files.

By the way, how do you boot to the Multiboot 1? Isn't it that the apk only has until secondary selection? Or the third kernel will appear once a third rom is installed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jigsawcrank:
Yes, it will appear after you successfully installed it. Besides, how do you install a rom on multiboot slot 1 anyway? The cache partition on my note 3 is only 300 mb, or is i it on s4 bigger?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iyahman:
2GB on i9505 :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jigsawcrank:
oh, ok... is it native, or have you increased it?

Btw messing with partitions is possible but a VERY VERY risky business, wouldn't recommend it

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
I'm who discovered the way to repartition three STE devices (S Advance, Ace II and S3 Mini).

After any kind of test on my I9505 I can sadly say that it's IMPOSSIBLE to repartition.

-PIT files are signed, if we don't have that signature to sign the file we can't use custom PITs.

-Size of the partitions are specified by three text entries (six in HEX) in some offsets before partition's name.

-Signature is 48 blocks long (768 offsets) and it's at the very end of the untouched file. Modifying PIT through PIT Magic totally breaks signature (is no longer inside file) and simply copy-paste works only when you don't modify things of file. It's generated depending on file lenght in blocks, any character inside and partitions' size and names, modifying also a single value of an offset means that we require a new signature because previous one is no longer valid.

-Device has a PIT partition, flash filename is MSM8960.pit. Isn't showed in dev/block since it's protected and hidden, creating a Odin-flashable package and trying to flash doesn't work since flash ends fine but new PIT isn't sent to device.

-When you tick Repartition in Odin and choose a PIT file, rightly after you start to flash that file is compared to the one inside PIT partition, if aren't 1:1 Odin refuses to flash and Download Mode screen gives "Secure Check Fail: PIT"

-KNOX bootloaders (4.3-4.4) have eMMC write protection for partition table, there's also a GPT backup inside. If you try to repartition mmcblk0 using parted or fdisk in ADB, commands end fine but nothing changes. After this operation, partitions are no longer accessible by recovery but just restart your device and let the magic happen (partitions agian accessible, nothing changed).

-Theoretically repartition through parted is possible with a non-KNOX bootloader (4.2) since seems that doesn't have eMMC write protection for partition table and GPT backup. I can't confirm because I have last bootloader.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
The mobile app is crashing when I open the tab "Rom definitions" or "Rom settings".

It is happening with Carbon, CM and PAC Roms.

I have updated the RAM disk. I have full SuperSu access granted. I have uninstalled/installed, wipe app data, etc.

This is happening only in multiboot1 (not in secondary).

Is it a known problem with the latest v8 of the app?

How to troubleshoot or, better, solve?

The apk has not been updated along with the Alpha, so may not be compatible with ROMs patched with the Alpha.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I haven't been on the forums much lately (and haven't been releasing new alpha builds), so I figured I'd post an update :)

Well, there's some good news and some bad news. I'll start with the bad news: the patcher is completely and utterly broken with Android 5.0. The new SELinux policy that broke root is only a portion of the problem (that can be easily remedied). However, it's the other SELinux policies that are causing issues. For example, even with root, apps are no longer able to read, write, or even list the partitions on the phone. I'm currently working on a solution where all the ROM switching, app sharing, etc. tasks are managed by syncdaemon (which runs in the unconfined SELinux context) and the dual boot patcher app will send commands to it. The only downside is that the primary ROM's kernel will have to be patched from now on.

Now on to the good news :)

The Android version of the new patcher is very close to being finished. All the bug fixes and speed improvements, etc will come to the Android app.

Very, very, very early working implementation of app data sharing

Another new feature that's also very early in development is having syncdaemon handle partition mounting. By relieving "init" of these tasks, a whole ton of hacks that are currently used can be removed, meaning automatic support for any ROM and any Qualcomm-based device. (Any maybe even ROM installed to an image on the internal storage or SD card, like MultiROM).

EDIT: Also, since I'm horrible at communication, please yell at me to visit this thread on Google Hangouts or email at "chenxiaolong AT cxl.epac.to" ;) I tend to work on things quietly..

b. do i have to patch the gapps as well?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
a/ just patch the rom

b/ also patch the gapps

If you want to put a custom kernel, you have to patch it too!

You may be able to squeeze a slim ROM with no GApps (install them as user apps one at a time later) on that cache - the zips are under 200 mb. Question, on duel boot snapshot patcher app (link below), what size does it show in cache ?

You may be able to squeeze a slimkat 4.4.4 in there. If it won't fit, wipe the multislot you used and see if you can find a smaller one. It should flash, but if not enough room, it won't boot.

With 5.0 (GE/AOSP) coming out soon, it would be great if a version of this would come out so it could be patched.

App data

Hi guys, this has probably been asked a thousand times, but is there a practical way to share app data across roms yet? Mainly just things like email and sms, just the stuff it updates for ever if you boot into a rom after not using it for a little while, I saw about 10-15 pages back I think it was suggested to use a foldermount like app, is this the only way? I haven't tried the experimental app sharing function of the dual boot app, any advice there? Thanks.

Haha, wow you're really stuck in a position where the setup you want is not supported yet. All the support custom kernels are AOSP ones right now, which is why the TW ktoonsez kernel didn't work.
