Hi,

am currently running Omega v2.0 (4.3).

Would love to also be able to run [ROM][Official][4.3] CyanogenMod 10.2 Nightlies for the Qualcomm Intl Galaxy S4 as a dual boot.

Is this possible? Tried to patch I9505_Omega_v2.0_GUEUBMG8_Android_4.3 but it said it was not supported.

Apologies if this has already been covered
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
You only patch the secondary ROM, which for your case is CyanogenMod, which is supported :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DrOsteo:
Thank you. Just so i can get my head around it:

if i install an app, will it be available across both rom's?

will game progress be available across rom's?

do messages appear across both rom's, etc?

Thanks again
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] XS_31:
No for the three. The two ROMs have a different location for system and app settings (/system and /data for the primary, /system/dual and /data/dual for the secondary).

But internal and external SD cards are shared.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
The internal SD is shared. If that's not working, there's something wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] XS_31:
It works, sorry for the mistake.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
No problem :) I was just worried that there might be a bug somewhere.

Just tried to install patched cyanogenmod 10.2 (4.3) on top of omega v2.0 (4.3).

Cyanogen loaded up with no dramas but i am now unable to get back to Omega.

Flashed utilities and tried that way but coming up with error:

hey chen, got a glitch i'd like help with.

updated my primary echoe to 1.2, all worked well.

realised today that the secondary rom isnt showing in the rom switcher.

reflashed the secondary rom and now i get two entries in the app - but both boot the primary :/

any idea how to fix that one?

My apologies if this had been addressed, but I haven't found anything via search. How does dual roms effect flashing a new modem.bin, if at all?

I need to upgrade my modem for kit kat but it's my secondary rom and I don't want to create issues in either.

Any direction is appreciated..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
When you updated your primary, it probably deleted the system files for the secondary ROM. You should be able to get everything working again by flashing the secondary ROM and setting the secondary kernel in the app (while your booted into the secondary, of course) :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I'm not sure how modems affect your model (maybe someone else can chime in here?), but if you flash a modem, it will apply to every ROM you have installed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chickentuna:
It will affect both roms. I am running tw 4.3 as primary with MJ5 modem. The secondary runs the same modem with 4.4 ge edition. You can only use one modem at a time. I don't think you'd be able to flash a different modem on either of them.

I am not having any issues with the MJ5 modem with 4.3 TW or 4.4 GE/CM. I don't need to fix what's working that's why I'm still on an old modem.

edit: looks like the second kernel is deleted, but not the rom. weird, i guess i can reflash a kernel manually.

any chance you could add a backup and restore feature to this? backup secondary rom (and/or kernel) to SD card kinda thing?

Where and how do you see "gone to 0 bytes free" please?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
i have edited my post.

flashing the new primary rom without editing it (a mistake i made) must have erased the secondary kernel.

in dual boot utilities.zip it showed zero free space. flashing the secondary rom again must have filled up the system partition somehow before it finished reinstalling.

thanks for the link to the backup utility :)

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

any idea where the temp files go when a secondary rom is flashed? i think i may have some leftover from the failed install clogging things up.

the utilities zip shows ~2GB free, install 500MB rom and it goes to 0MB and wont boot. not too fussed since my primary is stable, but a weird bug nonetheless.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ShAdOw NiNjA:
You may just have to wipe the whole /system/dual to get any of that space back. Starting over from scratch would be the best advice I could give you if you want to free up as much space as possible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chavdar:
Sorry. I did not see your reply. No, there was no other rom in multi slot 1. I made a fresh wipe /data and /cache

Will try with the newest nightly and get back to you

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
How did you flash it? Sorry I don't remember clearly right now but there's no way to flash modem via cwm zip on i9505 right?

In any case maybe search for something that could have wipe your /cache partition (maybe an additional option available through Mobile Odin dunno...)

If you can see anything related to wipe /cache in the process maybe run the TestPerms apk from this post (while on primary rom maybe?)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47853060&postcount=1068&nocache=1&z=7207718738354743

.. and check what it says about multislot 1 rom..

Makes a lot of maybe's I know lol

I know it's deprecated,never really believed in this personally except for some specific user's app issues,but if TestPerm app says /cache/multislot1 exists but can't read why not give a try to a fix perms. You could try it using Rom Manager or Rom Toolbox app's...maybe ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
i've done that.

it tells me i have roughly 2GB of free space, yet installing a 500MB rom makes it go to 0MB until i wipe it again.

secondary rom says it installed fine, but it does not boot.

something must be taking up way too much space, all i've changed is to update my primary rom (echoe kitkat v1.1 to v1.2)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I still think should try patching a CM11 (not the noobdev version) with the Patcher set to Multi Boot Slot 1 and flash this if successfully patched. Also, use the Patcher App.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bibymon:
I

I flashed the modem through mobile odin.. I will give a try with TestPerm.. Thanks :)

It says raw/cache exists & can't read.

How can i make it readable?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Sure there's no wipe cache command maybe set as default somewhere on Mobile Odin options?

Really not sure about the perm story lol, just kind of a blind and maybe stupid try I guess I would have done myself in such case..

Better thing to do right now would be to check if you still have (while on primary Rom) /cache/multi-slot-1/system (/raw-cache/multi-slot-1/system if on secondary).

Edit: Saw your edit,

Well that's where I'm even less sure about what I'm saying...maybe a fix permissions done trough Rom Manager app or Rom Toolbox dunno ... (If done trough TWRP recovery make sure all partitions are mounted before in case it's not handled automatically).

Edit2: You're on secondary rom and It says "raw-cache/multi-slot-1" exists but can't read?

If it says only "raw-cache/" and nothing else I'd tend to think your multi-slot-1 rom has been wiped (only system so if you just reflash it you won't loose nothing).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ShAdOw NiNjA:
That's is weird. I'm not sure what that could be besides the zip files (gapps and the rom itself) uncompressed if that is the 500mb you were talking about
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bibymon:
It says raw/cache exists & can't read. (did the check from secondary)

Wipe cache is not available in Mobile Odin Lite..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
I edited my latest post meanwhile but well.. do the manual check with a root file manager and if no /(raw-)cache/multi-slot-1/system just reflash your multislot1 rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bibymon:
I saw your edit.. I re-flashed the ROM & everything is fine.. As you said only the system was gone :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] alvin551:

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

Nothing special as davidep85 said,only thing to take into account is this maybe:

"Patching Google Edition 4.4 ROMs from Windows is probably still broken. For now, you'll need to patch those ROMs using Android, Linux, or Mac."
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] davidep85:
- My primary rom is Touchwiz 4.3 (Debloated)

- Boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Switcher app, open the app and set the current kernel as the primary kernel

- Download noobdev cm11, it is already dual boot but before flashing, you have to first flash the enable dual boot script

- Download google edition 4.4, use the dual boot patcher by dragging the zip file onto /useful/multi-boot.bat instead of patch-file.bat and choose Multi Boot Slot 1

- Flash the rom

That's all, you have a triple boot :)

p.s. I have patched Google Edition Rom in Windows..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chickentuna:
You could either format /system on the recovery of your choice or flash dualboot utilities via the op and wipe the secondary/primary rom on the aroma installer.

Keep in mind that you would need to reflash your rom if you wipe/format /system partition or else you'd end up in a bootloop
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
since i'm having lots of trouble with running out of space in the temp folder as it installs roms, is there a chance we could use the internal SD card for the temp files instead? easier to free up space there.

at present i cant dual boot because it needs 2GB+ to install a 500MB rom for some reason, so i cant reinstall.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
I really don't get what happens to you :)

There's no tmp folders issue i guess, consequent space on phone is only needed for the patching process and it happens under userspace already (data, sdcard)

If not enough space there you get the funny "successful error" patcher message at the end, that's all..

If tmp folders are needed while installing a rom they're created via the rom updater-script no matter if it's dual or usual single configuration but it's usually only a few scripts.

I guess your TW secondary rom installs its boot.img that way but boot.img is only about 10mb max and /tmp/boot.img gets deleted at the end of the process anyway.

So..dunno ;) We should check things from the start i guess, could you tell how many space left you have under /system with only primary rom installed?

The size of secondary /system folder once rom is extracted?

Could you upload the secondary rom updater-script once patched also please?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
1. not getting that error

2. i'll take your word for it, dont know much about that part of it.

3. 2082MB free on /system - drops to 0MB post install

4. system/dual is 2.09GB

5. patched on windows (worked to install the first time, before primary rom update) - where do i find this file?

it worked once, updated the primary OS and secondary stopped working - since then, even after wiping the secondary /system i cant make it reinstall.

edit: goddamnit. the filename was too long so it cropped it... i've been installing the wrong rom. i've been installing the 1.5GB rom not the 500MB one, because i'm just that special.

Hey guys

I have 3 Roms. Primary, dual boot, multislot1.

I had to update primary so used dualbootutils to wipe cache and flashed update.

When I booted back into primary dual boot switcher app lost all my secondary Roms. I had to reflash secondary and then reflash multiboot and they all showed up. Secondary and multi did not lose any of the settings or apps installed so they were not wiped.

Is there a specific way to update primary so that other Roms are not lost out of switcher app?

Tnx.
