Ah,different issue now?

My idea would be that maybe you didn't quite understand the DualBootSwitcher.apk "set current kernel as.." function.

Basically you only need to use "set current kernel as primary" once and of course when you're on primary rom (and do it again if you reflash it or flash another primary rom).

Secondary and multislot roms are patched and set their kernel to corresponding slot by themselves,in most situations you don't need to do it again (and if you do be sure to: "set current kernel as secondary" if you're on secondary rom ; "set kernel as multislot1" if you're on multislot1 rom ; etc.. )

Once done on primary this option doesn't serves at all after for the switching rom process.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AnaMajhol:
I did this and also installed ktoonsez kernel for TW rom.. And everything now works expect that I have to choose the rom from the app and reboot manually (not an issue really).. Thanks much for help :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Yeah same story then,if you flash a different kernel for your primary rom it's not a patched zip so it's up to you to "set it as primary" with the app,nice :)

Indeed it seems the switcher app reboot function doesn't work (anymore? Since TW 4.4 maybe?) on TW/GE roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iyahman:
On TW4.4.2 stock as primary and cm11 the reboot option works for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Simple - just flash a non-patched kernel compatible with your primary ROM and you are back in business. Make sure you set it as primary kernel after you boot it up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AnaMajhol:
Yeah, I was wondering whether it's the problem of the app itself

..

Yeah that's exactly what I did :)

Which TW rom are you using ? [emoji52]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
AICP should be supported already. Is it not working?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allan1313:
I can patch the rom but I can not patch the AICP gapps. Also was having issues with ktoonsez kernel. It says it patches the kernel , it finishes, but the new dual boot file is not created.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mateuszd:
Hi guys

Can I have the second ROM installed and have a full unroot applied to it? I understand the rom switcher itself needs root rights?

I need it unrooted so I can install apps like Barclays Mobile Banking which use sophisticated methods of root detection therefore the rom needs to be fully unrooted.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Should be ok i think, you'll just have to use DualBootUtilities-3.1.zip under recovery to switch from 2nd/unroot rom to another one.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AnaMajhol:
I'm using the newer XXUNBH
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] debbuger:
So any one got app sharing between primary & secondary roms?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allexki:
Guys I have one stupid question. Can I use stock TW 4.4.2 kitkat rom as primary ? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Yes but you'll probably deleted some apps ... unless it's SHOstock for example.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allexki:
It's completly stock i9505 kitkat rom, I should delete apps because of space, or because some apps have conflict ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Lack of space.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RK:

Having issues trying to patch aicp gapps. See attached photo
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
You thought to untick the box with boot.img?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allan1313:
Didn't know I could. How do you do that? It goes to fast to untick any option.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
You have a box at untick, on the PC patcher, you have it, I didn't make with the apk. But it have to be the same with the app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allan1313:
Thanks. It doesn't work on the app. I will try the pc patcher.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allan1313:
I tried from the pc, but the box to untick never shows and I get the same error.[emoji26]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Only AICP stuff supported I see is the rom,not the gapps.

The zip name match (starts with aicp_) so patching process starts but it expect a rom and then a boot.img
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allan1313:
That would explain it. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
He can change the zip name. I downloaded those ones:"aicp_gapps-miniinverted-4.42-20140321-signed.zip" available here, I changed the name by "pa_gapps.zip" and dualboot patcher works fine.

And you must to untick the box:"boot.img"!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
After I finished the setup of Shostock rom as primary I have installed CM11 as secondary rom (patched rom and gapps) and then if I select primary rom I only get the secondary rom again.....something wrong in my the procedure?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Did you make that(in dualboot switcher)? "Set current kernel as... primary" in the primary rom. I think that's your issue, you forgot it.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

You have to install the primary kernel and boot on the primary rom to setup it!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
Thanks. I remember that I did it. I will try again...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
And also when you want to go on a rom, you only must to make "choose a rom"! I know someone who have the same issue because he did:"choose a rom" and "Set kernel as... primary" in the secondary rom.

Chen

I've been away last week was just wondering if you had a chance to look into the camera crashing issue with 4.2.2 TW in a dual slot that [MENTION=4485012]RK[/MENTION] and I saw with all TW ROMs?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] allan1313:
I am having issues switching between roms. When on 2nd i can use rom switcher, it will not auto reboot but when i reboot it works fine.

When i try to switch from primary to secondary from the app or the utility it will fail. The second rom will boot to a screen that says it's unauthorized software and to contact versizon. I then need to use the utility to get back to the primary. To get to the 2nd I have to flash it again.

1st rom is TW.

2nd rom is liquidsmooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
First - want to pat OP on the back for his super work here (and on noobdev).

I have been using secondary and multiROMs for awhile now, but mostly because I can. I update noobdev weekly, and unfortunately the GE 4.4 I have been using has not been updated for months.

I find myself using my primary daily almost 100% of the time, as the others really offer no more (and a lot less in some areas) then the deblotated primary. I would like to find a few to try that are not the same-old-same-old AOSP and GE so there would be a reason to use them as alternative daily ROMs.

I think the best place to ask this is here, as obviously I will duel/multiboot them. I am NOT asking for best ROM - but those with interesting non-vanilla features. Any good suggestions will be appreciated.

I am probably going to look at slim, as I have already patched the ROM and GAPPs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Not yet. I took a break after spending quite a few hours studying the vibrator motor driver to find out why it doesn't work. If I have some time tomorrow, I'll take a look at the camera ;)

Has anyone tried the latest pac roms? I can't get it to patch
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
It doesn't matter,each rom runs its own kernel independently.

Just make sure that on primary rom you use DualBootSwitcher apk to "set current kernel as primary" every time you flash a new primary rom or install a new kernel on this primary rom.

Patch your CM zip,flash it (will boot on CM) and install DualBootSwitcher apk to switch from secondary to primary.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Sure, I'll add support for that ROM :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I'm 99% sure I know what the issue is. I won't be able to fix it until tomorrow though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
The Touchwiz ramdisk included with the patcher should work with MF3 just fine. I'll still add support for it though :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Sure, will do :)

I assuming you have a locked bootloader that shows the triangle logo? I'm afraid there's not much I can do about that. Dual booting requires the kernel to be switched, which would likely cause that.

Ok - one problem. When Im trying to install patched Echoe V20 I have info that: E:Can't open /storage/sdcard1/AAAA/S4_Echoe_v20_dualboot.zip (bad) installation is aborted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SilentEYE:
BIG WARNING

If you are using a GE KK ROM and install the EchoeRom v20 (and maybe on other KK TW Roms too?) as secondary ROM, you will be unable to use your SD Card on your primary ROM.

I tried this two times now on a i9505 Device with old bootloader and this happend both times.

maybe [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION] or others know why this is happening. I think it depends on the Samsung KK ROM which blocks access to the sd card somehow.

I patched and installed Echoe V20 on CWM 6.0.4.7 without a problem with ktoonsez kernel in the settings.

Checking MD5 would be the best thing or upgrade to latest cwm

Sadly the camera is not working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DJ SNap:

Edit: Had this camera failed message all day with both stock and KT 's kernel.. patched Adam's kernel (older version) and voila, cam is finally working. Wi-Fi and signal needs some time to work for the first time tw Rom boots but other than that everything seems to be working flawlessly. I can make a flashable zip if you wanna try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gravedigger76:
u be out of space, and the secondary ROM you flashed did not fit, so it won't boot

use multiboot utils delete the second rom, and switch to primary.

strip down Echo even more so it fits and then flash again.

I changed to the patcher's directory, I run this command but it gave me this error:

/path/to/file.zip does not exist!

. So, since it didn't work, I renamed the file to patch with the name file.zip but not even this time it worked. How should I use this command?

./patch-file.sh /path/to/file.zip

I use Ubuntu 13.10
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
If you're on Ubuntu 13.10, you can use the GUI, which has more features. Make sure you have "python3-pyqt5" installed (either using the Software Center or apt-get). Then run:

./PatchFileLinuxGUI
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] peppe130:
I've already used the GUI. I would try to patch a file by command lines. Are you saying that is very hard?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Sorry, I misunderstood what you trying to do. If you want to patch using the command line, you need to provide the patcher the real path to the file. For example, if your ROM is in /home/peppe130/Desktop/cm-11-20140413-NIGHTLY-jflte.zip, you would run:

./patch-file.sh /home/peppe130/Desktop/cm-11-20140413-NIGHTLY-jflte.zip

I've been following this thread and using the dual patcher for a few months now. One thing I've been watching for and wondering about and hoping for is the ability to patch an existing nandroid backup. Would this be possible? I've searched through the thread and no-one seems to have asked about it yet. Quite often I have a rom nicely set up and think I'd like to have it as a secondary rom. What would happen if you tried to patch a nandroid? Would it all go horribly wrong? Is this something that might be possible in the future?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] peppe130:
I think that is impossible to patch a nandroid backup since it doesn't have an updater-script..

I've an idea: you can make a backup of all partitions (such as /data, /system..) that interest you using the online nandroid backup app (you can find it on play store); then the app will create a backup.tar of your partition. Using android - kitchen, you can make a backup.zip from a backup.tar.. Then patch it using the patcher and flash! I don't know if it could work but is a good idea
