So for now i made it to set up a reliable DB system with 1st TWz Rom and 2nd cm12:

- patched cm12-20150211 with the win32 patcher v709

- for setting kernels and switching roms i use the only reliable one for me so far v436

- supersu245.zip also patched with 709

Can you fix the issue above?

Can you add the file below? It doesn't seem to make its work even if it patch it correctly.

Can you fix DualBoot utilities? It doesn't work correctly, impossible to make a "Wipe cache & dalvik" with it. Normally, when we make one, the system reload the apps at the starting, not there.

Can you avoid that CM12 AntaresOne wipe all when we install it?

No access to second ROM

Hello,

I installed the latest Goldfinger TW ROM as primary ROM and the patched GOLDENEYE TW ROM as secondary ROM, but I can´t access the second ROM. I tried to change with the Dual Boot Patcher app 8.0 and also with DualBootUtilities 3.3 from the latest TWRP. I get a notification that it worked but the 1. ROM always boots.

What did I wrong?

Thanks in advance...

So, i've tried patching CyanogenMod nightly with patcher version 709 (windows). I installed that but i couldn't boot the rom: neither the app from Android (version 709 or 436) or the utilities (zip, v3.3 and v4) could see the secondary rom (but in system/multiboot the files were present). I had to restore boot from a nandroid.

What version can i use to put Cyanogen in dual boot with TouchWiz?

Thanks :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] v00d007:
The v772 seems to be working. 1st do a full wipe/fact. reset with recovery, i prefer philz touch. Then try to 1st install the TWz rom. Install the Patcher 772. Try to set the Kernel for Primary, what should work. If not, you can forget the rest and skip to last line...

But if success, patch the cm12 nightly with that patcher. Go to recovery, install the patched cm12, select 2ndary and it should work.

If not you're welcome in the "waiting for news from chenxiaolong club"....

Can you patch a ROM for my s5 using the app or do I have to do it with a PC?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eclpsues:
I was able to boot the secondary rom, GPE Lollipop patched with 709, the problem is I cant set the kernel in the secondary rom since it only detects the kernel for the primary rom. This happens even if im on secondary rom.

Oh, if it helps, I used the 709 to patch the zip files (ROM and kernel) but I use 436 to set kernels. DO you think i should use 709 instead?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JhoonB51:
Or you could give r710 a try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] v00d007:
710 isn't able to set kernels cause it seems to be unable to write to sdcard. The combi of 709 and 436 does most things correctly for now as i already posted some days ago.

And note: prerequisites of all dual booting stuff are custom kernels that set selinux to "moderat" or higher.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eclpsues:
Yeah, I have a custom kernel. And those patched by 709 boots. Only problem is when I set kernel as secondary using 436 , the kernel doesnt show.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Both your primary and secondary go into a "system" folder, so have you looked at your "folders" with the utility zip and check to see if the system folder has enough room for your secondary ROM?

With a TW primary, it depends on how big the combined ROMs are. I have had the same result as yours and checked the sizes and found I did not have enough room for the secondary I was trying to flash. It flashed, but there was zero free space after and it would not boot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] croatia1:
I checked my system partition, I have 1,2 GB which, I think, is enough, because BlissPop is not bigger than 200mb and the Gapps aren't that big either. Even without Gapps my system folder was empty. I know that my secondary rom should go into system/dual but neither there's a dual folder nor the system files from my primary rom are in it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cominfou:
Edit::.. wrong quote. please delete this comment. thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
If you still have 1.2 gb left after flashing a TW primary, then you must have a really small TW - even with heavily debloated TW ROMs as primary, I usually only see .6-.7 gb left after flashing them.

Again - have you used DualBootUtilities zip to check free space after the primary is installed? Also, when you flash a patched ROM as secondary ROM, it sets up the system/duel folder, and when it is being flashed you should see it state "Not flashing as primary" in the script that is vilible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] croatia1:
When the flash begins, TWRP says "NOT FLASHING AS PRIMARY" and it flashes without problems but it won't boot, because system folder is empty after flash, no matter what I do. If I first choose secondary rom in DualBootUtilities it won't work either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
For TW rom I would recommend you to use Shostock 8.0 as primary rom. This is ok as most of Samsung bloatware are removed. It should boot with it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
After flashing secondary, does system look like the above - Free 1.25 - or is it totally empty after flashing with 2.58 free?

Which version of the patcher are you using to patch the secondary ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] croatia1:
I have to look that up, but I think it's 2,58 GB free, because in the File Manager from TWRP the system folder is fully empty.

Patcher r436
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
If so, then flashing the ROM may be wiping the whole system partition - can you still boot up primary ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] croatia1:
Nope, that's the problem. Primary's system folder gets erased too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
The secondary ROM may not be patched correctly and its install script might include wiping the system. You might try a different patcher version on the secondary ROM (or a different ROM) or try patching it as a multirom. If it doesn't flash correctly it should not wipe out the system partition and the primary ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] monkteo:
I use this configuration and everything works perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Yes, with the old versions of DualBoot Patcher, these before the 436, all worked fine. I even hesitated to go beyond the 436, given the constraints that it engendered.

Since the 7xx, I can't

:

Change the roms names in the app

Share apps between rom, about of that, I hesitate, the last time with ramdisk update, my phone has stuck on the bootlogo.

Since the 725 included, I can't

:

Patch with the PC - ALL

Patch with the phone - those that I tested

I've another issue, I don't know if it's due to the DualBoot Patcher. I make a theme which works with Theme Engine. Sometimes, there are few issues due to Theme Engine which is still an alpha version. However reboot should be enough to fix them, or flash this file via the recovery... BUT NOTHING WORKS FOR ME!!! To finish, it's not an issue with my theme, it works fine for all peoples, it also worked for me. :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] monkteo:
Too bad !

I tested 675 (one week a go) and I manage to patch AntaresOne optimize variant ant TeamUB (bought CM12) and work OK

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I have backed off patching 5.0.x ROMs for now - did so with the 9.0.x Alpha PC zip with the two .dll files added. I used it as a multirom with app sharing (it actually "worked" - but there were conflicts between some GAPPs (4.x.x and 5.x.x), so wiped and reflashed without sharing, but there were still some issues where it messed up the primary 4.x.x ROM.

Currently, for all 4.x.x ROMs - am still using 8.0.0.99 (PC GUI). Am doing app sharing between thess ROMs with only minor glitched.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
This is only the cause which did I use the latest DualBoot... The latest gapps (PA-Gapps) can't be patched with the versions before the 436. Otherwise, I would have kept my 423. :silly:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] v00d007:
Well, i personally didn't use the app sharing feature anymore after having problems with crashing apps and some data loss. And also it doesn't make that big sense as long the app data aren't synced too. But that are still future plans and because of the different ways the apps' directories of kk and lollipop are handeled i don't think it will be possible to share app data between cm12 and 11 i.e..

To all who wanted to get a cm12 rom run as secondary:

the patcher 8.00.675 does all the work. There's just one hurdle:

after flashing as 2nd you gotta flash a (also patched) custom kernel afterwards, or it won't boot. I took alucard 1.1a.

afterwards:

Kernel set -> works

Rom switching -> works

App share -> will not work - testing obsolete...

Confused

Ok I am totally lost here. All these revisions and no clear explanation any more. The last time I used the patcher I used the v8 link in OP's post. I was able to choose what slot I wanted the rom patched for. Now I am trying to get this rom patched, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2539361&page=515 , it wouldn't patch. So I tried understanding the notes at the top of the revision page and downloaded the 713 revision. It patches the rom however I cannot choose what slot I want it in. Where will it install? How do I do this correctly now? The instructions really need to be updated in the OP. Reading through and trying to search 506 pages is to confusing when things changed so much.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] todivefor:
The OP refers to the last "stable" version. You are trying to run a snapshot which is test. Once it is stable, I am sure it will be documented in the OP. At some point in the snapshots (not sure which) the patcher changed to no longer ask for slot. You will be asked for which slot when you flash the patched zip.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jmc302005:
Ok thank you for clarifying how it now installs the rom. I should be fine from there. I just didn't understand how to specify what slot I wanted it in.
