I think he meant that after you patch the ROM, you may have to patch another inside the patched ROM. You might be able to patch it with v5 thought when it comes out..

One more thing - with all the work that has been done by the OP to get us here and looking ahead to v5 (and possible v5.1), the list of donators in the OP is surprisingly short. Unless there are many more not on the list (OP?), think about joining the list.

Delete the app, reboot, and reinstall the latest version from OP. If oo luck, maybe convert it to a system app with titanium.. Never had any trouble with it, so not a lot of ideas.

Ok, well "primary" doesn't really mean "main" rom.

You know mine is a Touchwiz one and I'm pretty rarely using it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FreezIn:
Well the thing is my secondary one can't mount my obb files while my primary ROM can. So I was thinking that the secondary ROM can't mount them cause probably the secondary doesn't have the mnt directory. So I use primary everyday mostly and secondary I use it less than primary. So I don't know what to do.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
FolderMount?

Search for "FolderMount" on this thread you'll probably get some link.

When on secondary/multislot path is /raw-data/media/ , not /data/media like on primary.

Oh no wonder. The app I use is gl to SD and it uses the /mnt directory to mount game files. I tried foldermount before but I didn't get how to use it correctly. I admit I'm stupid but it took me a lot of times to make it work and sometimes it doesn't even mount anymore.

I'm sorry to ask all this...I've been reading these directions over and over - and I'm just trying to make sure I understand this:

I downloaded the patcher and switcher files, downloaded a supported AOSP ROM (BeanStalk) and I'm currently running BoneStock 4.3 TW on MDK.

Here are my questions:

1) While in my primary (and only) TW ROM, I ran the Patcher apk and chose my current ROM as primary and kernel as primary

***is this NOT step one? If it is, where do I find these modified zip files?

2) Or am I totally skipping a step and missing something here, should I be patching my soon-to-be secondary ROM (AOSP - BeanStalk)?

I am so grateful for this capability and am really sorry if I'm making this far more complicated... Are there directions for DUMMY'S?:eek::o

You only had to set your primary ROM kernel as primary. Then go on and patch your secondary (and GAPPS and kernel if needed or wanted). Then flash these and reboot. The secondary ROM should boot up. Set its kernel as secondary, then select primary ROM and reboot to see if it comes back up.

If all works, then you can start looking at some multi-boot options - but first make sure everything above works OK.

How did you determine you had plenty of space? If you have a TW primary, you may not.

The utility tool will show how much space you have left in /system after you flash the secondary ROM. If PA is 150 mb and you have less showing as available. it won't work.

Does anybody know how to flash a bootanimation for the 2nd ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I think you would push the file into the correct spot in the ROM when it is booted up and reboot - no flashing so no patching.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Yes as Gaww said you could push bootanimation.zip file manually to correct location.

Btw a nice spot to keep an alternative bootanim active over rom update is /data/local/

The bootanimation of your choice will stay there active prior to the one under /system/media (no need to delete that one then) and won't be replaced at next flash.Will only be deleted if of course you wipe data.

A nice thing with this multiboot solution is that you have access to your others rom system, cache and data files while running another one. I mean let's say your on primary rom and want to push a new bootanim into your secondary rom > you just push it to /system/dual/media/ or /data/dual/local/

_You on primary and want to access multiboot roms files > /cache/multislot[1~2~3]/system if you search for their system or /data/multislot[1~2~3]/ if you want their data location.

_Your on secondary or multiboot rom and want to access primary rom files > /raw - system/... or /raw-data/...

But there's another tip if you really need to patch an unsupported cwm zip.

I really often use that supported zip file name:

4.4_qc-optimized_bionic.zip

I use it mainly for a Titanium Backup paid version cwm zip made with ZipMe market app (good tip here also ;) ) but it works with many different zips.

It will work without any doubts for a bootanimation cwm zip. Rename it as said above, once patched rename it if desired to its original name and that's it, you have your mybootanim_cwm_[dual/multislot].zip
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Or use that (below)! I did it with the patcher as I always do. Just replace bootanimation.zip(in /system/media folder) by your bootanim.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Oops, [MENTION=1011179]Technical[/MENTION] yes i totally forgot that patcher app had custom patch support now.

If you show it your unsupported bootanimation cwm zip and follow process it should work just fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
But your first response was everything you ever wanted to know plus more - lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Fantastic. I wish anything but Samsung bootanimation and I won't have to flash it.

Thanks for teaching me this.

Wow... Then I can flash the second and then the bootanimation without pain :)

I also have paid TB and ZipMe. It would be good to create zips with some user apps data to be flashed in 2nd ROM.

By the way, is there a fantastic way to share user apps data (without messing the system apps data) between ROMs?

Right now, I only have the option to share the apps themselves, but not the data.

Last, but not least, my daily issue while dual booting.

Each time I flash, Google Play understand the Google account added as the last device and when I return to 1st ROM, I cannot install apps using the PC/Internet version of Google Play, that stays with the 2nd ROM as the device.

We can use different emails, but we lose the paid apps. Using Google account as a 2nd account does not solve, as when configurated, Google Play also changes the device to this new ROM (even being the 2nd, not primary, Google Play account).

Ah, I'm guessing you're on a TouchWiz ROM and don't have a file manager installed. If you install a file manager, such as ES File Explorer, you'll be able to choose a file from the patcher.
