Actually I implemented this and it will make it into 8.0.0 :D It doesn't matter where you open the UI. For example, I booted into Multi Slot 1 and have Adaway checked for Primary and Multi Slot 1 (see screenshot). Those two ROMs will always run the exact same version of the app.

(Also, this feature does not affect Titanium Backup at all :))
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] davtse:
I dont suppose this means that the data is synced across the apps as well? i.e whatsapp messages in primary will be synced across multislot roms?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Now you're just bragging :p

Edit: OK guys now that we are coming to a milestone of having app share the way it should what's your best options for dual booting?

I think Ill have to go with the traditional tw+cm

If I have to guess I'd say it will be out in a couple of days. It's probably ready but I guess Chen will test it a day or two to make sure there's no issues.

Yes.

[MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION]: could you make any progress on the Google account issue? (Remember? The last flashed ROM and registered Google account become the only one that could be accessed from Google Play).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Data syncing will hopefully come in 8.1.0 :) There are quite a few things I need to work out before that is possible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] animelover:

It's pretty hard not to ask for an ETA but with all the teasers by you and that's damn hard. I have to resist. :D

How to completely remove dualboot and switch to sammy officail rom, please?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
With DualBoot Utilities.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Use the utility zip to erase data for all other ROMs and then to disable duelboot.

You also might want to wipe cache and system with recovery to be sure that they are cleared out - plus data if you want a clean install (or factory reset after flashing sammy).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Cmon Chen! We are all drooling to have that app share released. I know we don't ask for etas but it would be great if we had something to play over the weekend ;)

I have a fresh single boot install with over 800MB free in the system partition just waiting to play. If you need plus one beta tester just PM me and I'll help test it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
The most expected release ever :fingers-crossed:

I could not use the patcher for AOSB 1.3.6 version, although it was automatically detected.

Hey,

Currently I am running an AOSP Rom with Alucard Kernel and F2FS.

Im thinking about to install a Touchwiz Rom as a Secondary because of the camera (and only the camera, so I choose very Slim rom).

My question:

Does this work with my current setup?

My filesystem (cache, data and system) is currently formatted into F2FS and I guess this doesn´t work with Touchwiz?

Thanks for help!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Youd be better to use touchwiz as primary and whatever youd like as secondary or in multi slots. About f2fs, as long as the kernels you're running on both primary and secondary support f2fs you should be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xk0niR:
Thanks for your reply.

I guess I have to format back to ext4 because there is (currently) no kernel which supports F2FS for Touchwiz (If I am wrong please someone tell me).

I think I backup everything and just test dual booting. Trying may solve some questions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
I will only do this when my primary ROM would be a TW. I could never found a TW ROM better than Slim (AOSP) :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Doesn't ktoon support f2fs?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Glad I sticked with ext4 than. It would be a nasty suprise to find out about that the hard way :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:

The Samsung file manager issue is something that only Samsung can fix. As far as I know, they don't have any code that allows it to be used by 3rd party apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
^^ That's why 8.0.0 taking so long. But rest assured, the new release is coming soon. As for testers, wanna help me debug memory leaks and SELinux denials? No? ;) In all seriousness, a new testing version will all the new changes will be available at http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/486665/Snapshots/DualBootPatcher/index.html soon.

Lol, but actually Chenxiaolong never made any specific statement about this.

It was just my personal feeling that we shouldn't talk too much about debug builds to not confuse others users especially with latest 7+ versions.

How does the individual app share works? How do I select and apply selection?

Is it light for unchecked and dark for checked? How to apply after selecting?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Looks like I'm not too good with UI stuff still :) Dark is checked and you don't have to apply anything. As soon as you leave the app sharing screen, it will start doing all the work in the background.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
But for individual apps I don't need to check share applications in previous screen?

Edit: individual seems not to work here. If I check appshare it shares all the apps. But enterring individual again and again the changes I make never stick.

Example: i check adobe reader in secondary. Exit the app. When I re-enter the app adobe reader is again unchecked :s

Time to sleep now! almost 5 in the mornin and still havent slept a bit ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Ah, nope you don't need to check anything in the previous screen. :) For example, if you want Adobe Reader to use the same apk in Primary and Secondary, then you check both of those boxes.

Super work ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
Hello' Chenxialong

I'm testing the app sharing function. I understand only apps installed in the primary appear in the list.

Then if I remove the app from the secondary and select to share the app on both roms it should allow me to have the application on both roms (if the purpose is saving space). But currently when I go back on second rom the shared apps does not appear...

Maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the shared apps.

My primary rom is TW (Shostock) and secondary is CM11 nightly 4.4.4.

PS: rom selection. Now the name of secondary rom (CM11) is not recognized (Could not determine ROM version).

thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
I'm on SHOstock for the primary and AOSB for secondary, so almost like U. I think to have the same issue but I have to test more to see.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
Ops, after I have shared some apps I forgot to tick the 2 options: Share applications and Share paid applications.

After reboot it's working now. Sounds great!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Have U re-patched the 2 roms/ kernels? Primary and secondary...

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

OK
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Shanks:
OK, i have repatched my multi slot 1 rom 3 times so far, i do the whole multiboot setup, then when i try to share apps it only shares the apk but not their data, has anyone here successfully share apps and their data? If so please explain how you did it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
LOL - how can you say that, it looks and works well for me, you're ui (s) have always made perfect sense to me.

The app share works great for me between wanam primary and dandvh secondary, problem is that when I try to switch back to secondary from primary the patcher app says it doesn't recognize the rom. I have patched and flashed the kernel but still no, when I re flash secondary it boots back in fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
Not yet. I didn't patch the rom because I understood it should not necessary but I can try it.

After a reboot the shared apps disappeared and the extra options which I have selected before (share apps, share paid apps) disappeared from both primary and secondary rom and no apps are shared now. Maybe is not possible to share some apps between TW and AOSP roms?

Of course I'm not sharing gapps or samsung apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Maybe it's normal... imagine if you don't want to have the same settings on the multipes roms. Like Titanium, I don't want it has the same backup, cause I won't share all apps.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Look, perhaps the cause.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
What is repatch the primary?

I'm not used to change anything in primary, only patched the other ROMs...

Should I flash AppShare before I flash the ROMs or after them?

Right now, I'm testing a lot of secondary ROMs and can't find a good one...

Goldeneye: stable, but phone app just freeze. I can use any app, but when my smartphone is used as a phone, it freezes :silly:

Chaos and FoxHound: some apps start to FC (I can't even pass the setup screen).

Purified did not work for me (don't boot).

Use a second AOSP ROM is more of the same. The best for me is Slim from a far distance... Paranoid and PAC would be alternatives.

Any opinion about AOSB? I've tested, seems ok, but the updates are a bit rare... They're not on 4.4.4...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Patching primary doesn't make any sense. App sharing is working without patching it. only individual app sharing is not working for me.

We need some UI change to make this less confusing.

We need to have 3 check marks instead of the current two.

Like:

Share all apps - x

Share paid apps - x

Share individual apps - x

And only after checking that last one should the individual app selection be allowed. If not selected keep it greyed out.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Sorry, I said a mistake, there isn't to patch for primary.

Have you tried AOSB ? It seems that yes... But I ask.

What i see on my side for now..

Roms patched with latest debug version doesn't set their kernel automatically to /sdcard/MultiKernels/*****.img

Unlike usually we really have to set kernel ourselves using patcher app.

"Couldn't determine ROM version" for secondary rom..

Same for me and others apparently but switching to secondary from patcher app "works".

I presume you repatched your Danvdh rom for it has share-apps support then you couldn't switch to it for the reason I mentioned above actually= no new secondary kernel properly installed to sdcard/MultiKernels/ during flash.

Again it's not usual,can be considered as a bug but we have for now to use patcher's "set kernel as.." option once we boot on any rom patched with latest debug version.

There's indeed a "couldn't determine ROM version" patcher's bug for secondary rom but it's more a write permission (secondary rom build.prop here) issue for me that would explain a lot of issue reported since release.

Switch to secondary should work as long as there's a secondary.img found under /sdcard/MultiKernels/

If you're still running your secondary rom right now you should use "set kernel as secondary" before it happens again but if you're now on primary ,face same issue and don't want to reflash secondary to boot on it there's a simple workaround:

On primary then extract boot.img from from your patched Danvhd zip,put it under /sdcard/MultiKernels renamed as secondary.img and now you can switch from primary to secondary using patcher.

Pretty fast and simple way to solve such problems generally ;)

So there must be a general write permission issue or such on secondary roms that also gives us share-apps issues i guess..

Tick share applications option (from primary to current rom then) works fine for me as for others it seems but i couldn't share individuals apps from secondary to my newly installed multislot 2 rom.

Couldn't find a way to get it working but sharing individuals apps from multislot1 to multislot2 worked perfect. I shared some SlimKat(multi1) apps with Task(multi2)AOKP and it's ok, batch-restored only data's with TitaniumBackup (much faster than usually restoring apps+data's :) ) and all went fine.

So I guess there's something like a write perm issue when it comes to secondary roms (patcher can't determine which rom it is but it's not THE big deal). Real problem is that it seems to also break sharing apps from (and maybe "to") secondary rom.

Just these two points (kernel not properly set during newly patched rom flash & "write perms issues" on secondary would explain all of our issues i suppose..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Is there really a need to repatch rom or is a kernel repatch enough?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
I suppose kernel should be enough,it all relies on kernel from what i understand.

But once your zip kernel is patched with latest debug version and flashed check please if it is installed under /sdcard/MultiKernels folder (should be secondary.img for you). If not use patcher to set kernel as secondary before you switch to primary/another rom.

The global "Share all Applications from primary to current rom" option should work fine,but it seems to be another story if you wish to share individuals apps when secondary rom is involved.

Maybe it's ok if it's "share some apps from any rom to secondary" ,i didn't tested that way.

It was "share some apps from secondary to another rom" that didn't worked for me (but ok "from multi1 to multi2).

But others reports tend to make me think it's both way that "share individuals apps" doesn't work as long as it involves secondary rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
On contrary of what was said before, it's necessary, afaik, to patch *any* zip file being flashed, otherwise, the flashing will affect the main (primary) ROM (and not any other else).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
sure. You didnt understand or I didnt explain correctly. Its pretty straigh forward that if you dont patch it it will be flashed as primary.

The thing is if you alrready have dual slot installed you should only need to patch kernel with this new version and flash it on top of the previously installed rom ;)

Edit: btw how do you guys patch googy max GE kernel. I patch it as alucard GE and it works ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
He will patch a kernel cwm zip of course,if he patch it as secondary kernel will be installed to secondary rom and so on.. as usually.

The question was more specific here,"for apps sharing support do we need to mandatory repatch the whole rom with latest patcher version or is the kernel enough?"

And here I'd say,but not 100% sure,that kernel should be enough.

From what i see, but maybe I'm wrong,apps sharing feature only relies on (patched with latest debug version) kernel mechanisms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Thanks Bejda, I just set kernel in dandvh as secondary and boring back and fourth no problems now :D
