Thank you thank you thank you. Speechless. Just because I can I'll buy you another beer later ;)

Really tough it wouldn't be that hard. Just add generic aroma db utilities at start. Lolol maybe it isn't :)

That's just crazy/amazing I'm still trying to figure out which one. Lololol

I can't do it like that because I use my phone mostly for games and social media. If with just one ROM I nearly have nonsoace left I imagine having 5. Each ROM takes at least 500Mb on data partition just for the initial setup.

My goal is just to have a stable tw as primary and a GE or CM as dual or mslot1 to play around a little bit.

Right now I'm getting amazing results with phoenix + googy max. I have all the goods from a tw ROM with s5 apps and themes on top, amazing performance and great battery life. This combo really does it all.

Other ROM is really just to play around and feed my flashaholic need and don't mess up my primary ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Just to be sure I understand correctly - if a ROM that has an install script that wipes /system and cache is flashed as primary with new patcher, it will only wipe those assigned primary partitions and not wipe secondary and multiboot ROMs ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Should be just like before with secondary and multislot patched roms,it will preserve your others installed roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
I think it's probably crazy and amazing, I tell my friends and colleagues who have a little understanding of android and they look at me gone out, my daughter thinks I'm completely mad but she always comes to me when she wants her phone fixed but unfortunately she just bought an iPhone, is it OK do you think to disown your child for that haha :D

I think I might try your setup with phoenix, sounds interesting.

Yeah, we use our phone differently, I don't do social media face book and the like, and play few games really, my game flash the ROM/mod lol :p

[MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION]

Noticed two things on my side with r142 patcher version.

I have CM as primary at the moment, patched it as primary_upgrade and flashed it fine but:

_ /cache/dalvik-cache location is still used , after boot to be sure i used DualBootUtilities to wipe primary dalvik-cache and then checked with Aroma file manager = no problem both /data/dalvik-cache and /cache/dalvik-cache folders were deleted but /cache/dalvik-cache has been recreated and populated at next boot.

I presume you only implemented this to CM builds patched as multislot?

_ It seems that secondary rom permission backup&restore process didn't worked. You know same issue as before when after flashing a primary with edited updater-script for it doesn't wipe /system/dual without using the perms bak&restore cwm zips we had secondary rom not booting = bootsplash>vibration>reboot>bootsplash>vibration>reboot to recovery.

Edit: There's an old thing also, with gapps packs but maybe others zip patcher gives 'none type' object has no attribute 'startswith' when we choose custom presets.

You know gapps files names often change or differ a little lol,right now i can reproduce it with a SlimFullBeta and a bank's minimal+gsearch zip but i think [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] already report this with some PA gapps.

Mentioned error if we choose the matching preset while patch ok if we just use default custom patch settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
With Multislot is running fine and system partition stays clean ;)

Didn't make sense change paths to primary ROM. My guess is that all it does to first ROM is edit wipe path's and doesn't even touch boot IMG.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
That held true with the ROM, but an update (Phoenix OTA) was not patchable, and it wiped cache which wiped my multi TW

The patcher checked the file and said it didn't need patching - maybe Chen should take that check out and have it patch everything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
lol I think it's pretty easy to do it manually, but to make it automatic would be hard.. especially with ROMs that already use AROMA.. It would be AROMAception ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Ah yes, the primary upgrade doesn't change anything except the updater-script commands for formatting /cache and /system. The /data/dalvik-cache change only affects the secondary and multi-slot ROMs.

Thanks for mentioning this! The permission backup and restore is working, but it's being inserted at the wrong spot in the updater-script. I should be able to fix this tomorrow.

Thanks, I'll look into that. That message usually only appears if the "has boot image" box is checked, but the zip has no boot image.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Could you give me a link to the update zip?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] brokenchains:
I hope I haven't missed it in my searching, but how do you install the Xposed framework to the secondary ROM? I see the disabler is supported but when I tried to patch the framework's flashable zip (created with the Xposed Installer app) it said it failed when using the other\xposed preset. Is there another preset I should use?

Awesome work [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION] now I can use TouchWiz only for Wifi Calling when I'm back in my hometown! Many thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
For PA Gapps, I said: If we choose PAGapps in Preset then if I push the OK button, the patcher doesn't work. So, if we wanted to patch it, just keep "Custom" in Preset and untick "boot image" for it works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Doesn't need patching, just install xposed installer on the ROM you want xposed framework then go into the app and install the binaries the normal way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
And what is "patcher doesn't work" ?

Same 'none type' object has no attribute 'startswith' message?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
I gonna try when I could! ;)

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

You talked about of patcher apk, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Maybe something related :

On this context, at least for the two Slim and BaNkS gapps i mentioned, it doesn't matters if we let "has boot.img" ticked or not with custom patch default settings.

It gives no error, zip is well patched and usable.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Oh yes sorry,long time i didn't used pc version.

Maybe it's different with pc patcher.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
On reflection, after have to try with "apk", this is a little similar between the version "apk" and the PC version.

If you choose "Google apps / gapps ParanoidAndroid" in Preset

:

On PC

: Unable to start the patcher, HOWEVER no default Message

With "apk"

: also impossible to start but with the message mentioned by Bejda

If we keep "Custom" in Preset

:

On PC

: It works fine it works with "boot image" unticked.

With "apk"

: Same

In your dualboot Patcher Application. Is it possible to have the window on the left menu (the one that slides) in any postions that we are in the app? Let me explain, when you are in "Rom Settings" or shared applications by example, we can not access this window. It is necessary to do with "back" button to access this menu.

Thanks! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I have found that to be true with a number of zips - so I always try again that way - usually works then.

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Ditto here - but I believe Chen is still in high school (?) and the legal age here is a silly 21 (you can get you head blown off in a war but can't have a beer).

However, where there is a will....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Me too. For example, for bootanimation, I also use this way.

He will take a soft drink ... not to mention names. :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Lolz I have 36 and I don't really like beer that much. I use the term beer just because ;)

Just not to be completely of topic running latest beta with cm dalvik patched to data all is running fine including individual app sharing between the two roms in my signature.

Guess Ill stop playing with Roms and kernels until a major release is out and start playing actual games ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Does this mean we should be able to use ART now on CM based ROMs in multi slots?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZeroZorro:
I'm stuck...maybe you guys can help me out....

I have a S4 Active 9295 and have Stock ROM installed as Primary. Installed DualPatcher 7 following the guide. All well so far.

Patched CM10.2 and 20130813 jb gapps and flashed as second ROM....working!

Now when I patch cm-11-20140725-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltex and 20140606 kk gapps and flash those it boots and all but there are no Google Play and so on. Looks like gapps is not installed?

I scanned this thread but can't find the answer yet.

Following the guide to the letter and tried to patch on android as on pc...same result. Redownloaded Gapps to no avail.

Hope you can point me to the right direction!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Was already possible but now additional space needed for a CM multislot roms ART'ed dalvik-cache only occupies our data partition/internal storage :)

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Could be that gapps were partially installed due to a lack of free space under your /system partition.

If you launch the DualBootUtilities 3.3 zip from recovery the first screen will show your space left under system, if it seems short it might be the cause of your gapps issue.

If that's the case the best way would be to wipe secondary system using DualBootUtilities zip,reflash your CM11, check now again how many space left you have under /system and compare with the size of your extracted gapps zip.

Size of the extracted gapps zip must fit into your system space left.

Anyway if indeed it's a space left issue you'll have to remove some system apps from your stock primary rom to make some place.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Yep. I was hitting a dead end with no space left in system running just one ROM and Chen saved me with this tweak by moving mslot cm based dalvik to data instead of system.

:victory:

I always use pa gapps on all cm based roms and it runs fine. Stop by pa gapps thread and choose one that fits your needs. Full modular pack does the trick for me ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
That happened to me once and I think I ended up reformatting my SD card and starting again, long time ago when I wasnt used to the whole process so I don't know, but when I came back all worked. Maybe worth trying newer gapps, slim gapps always work good for me, or try Banks minimal gapps and patch calendar and calendar sync PA gapps always work well ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ktetreault14:
I would love to see this on my note 3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
DualBoot Patcher seems to work with SHOstock (TW)... to upgrade primary rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Yes but beware,once flashed your secondary rom probably won't boot until you reflash it.

The backup&restore secondary rom permissions isn't well implemented for now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
So, always forced to use tools of secondary permissions backup / restore!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZeroZorro:
damn...reformatting 64 Gb sdcard...was hoping *not* for that ;)

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

#i will do just that... maybe that is the issue, altough i deleted a bunch of bloatware
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
No need to reformat external SD, just internal (if you can't find another way to fix first) do what bejda advised and see what's what ;)

How many apps do you have and of those are any huge games etc?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
It should be fixed now in 7.0.0.r146.gaf3305e :)

EDIT: Wow, 146 commits since version 7.0.0... I should release 8.0.0 soon lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
I can confirm this is the case, and that's where the dual boot backup aroma comes in really handy, for me it is much quicker now to use our new utilities to do full wipe all secondary and then goto backups and restore, then perfect (apart from messing around with a couple of paid apps that don't play nice)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Ah maybe not the problem if you already removed lot of stuffs but well storage space problem or not as others said choose another gapps pack might help anyway,let's try some minimal then like BaNkS one for instance:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857

You just have to wipe that secondary rom system via DualBootUtilities zip and reflash the rom to get rid off previously installed gapps and then flash such minimal gapps pack if that suits you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks for the support again! :laugh::highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
I can only see r145, is your server broke our do I just need more patience?

Yes, 8.0.0 is well due, as is some well earned rest for you, oh, I forgot, this is rest for you apparently haha

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
All seems fixed on my side,secondary rom boot and behaves fine after primary_upgrade and no error anymore with BaNkS custom preset for his minimal+gsearch pack.

It still doesn't matter if we let "has boot.img" ticked or not with default custom settings,nothing special to report or fix on this side?

Hey..hard to find words to express our gratitude,those commonly used on xda aren't enough lol..thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I've fixed it so that it won't give an error if "has boot image" was checked by accident :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Flashing SuperSu in multi-slot1 is failing miserably to me, i.e., the apk does not appear installed after booting (only the internal su).

Tried with both Slim, Nameless and CM ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yeah, it happens sometimes, good news is that the binaries are installed though, just get the apk from the play store and your golden ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
I was able to get it working in multi-slot 1, but I had to remove about 400MB worth of files (from 2.2GB down to 1.8GB).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
I can test with SHOstock v8.0 has just been released.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yep, already tested :p updated to shostock 8 and booted no problem then booted straight into secondary also no problem :D

Also, I forgot to set kernel as primary after updating but just switched back no problem.

Thank you for all the fixes Chen, it's almost perfect now on combination with new utilities it's never been so easy to dual boot, also noticed that when sharing apps it's no longer necessary to go into utilities and manually wipe cache/dalvik to rebuild the apks for that ROM, ours working automatically again.

OT - for anyone who is interested, there is a new ROM called Merk ROM based on omni, first beta feels really nice, link in my signature ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Yes but beware,you still need to "set current kernel as primary" after primary_upgrade.

Otherwise it will use the previously set as primary boot.img to switch back to that primary rom.

That's the case for me at the moment, my primary is CM and i once installed Alucard on it.

After every primary flash or primary_upgrade i keep forgetting to "set current kernel as primary" so now,although i updated the rom many times after i installed Alucard, my primary CM still boot with Alucard when i switch back to primary with patcher ;)

Actually the only command that will delete a rom's corresponding boot.img under /sdcard/MultiKernels/ is wipe system through DualBootUtilities zip.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
That's no longer necessary in 7.0.0.r149.gaa538e1 :) It'll automatically set the primary's kernel now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Good news! Like I haven't still installed SHOstock, neither successful to upload it, I might to do it (perhaps) with this version once at home. Here, at work, the internet speed is poor. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I was the one who asked for this (not having cache wiped when flashing other then primary ROMs) - thanks. Just patched it OK !

Opps - just tried to patch SaberSlimKat with latest PC patcher - would not do - either with or without customization selection.

Used 133 version - no problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] `SBR`:
Chen, could you also fix the GE roms.. viper4android is not working on dual or multi slot. But works well in primary rom. .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HampTheToker:
I believe that's been addressed here already. If I recall correctly, it's a problem with viper not Dualboot. Don't quote me, though. Use the search function. It's super effective.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Would you mind trying to patch again using PatchFileWindows.exe (the non-GUI version)? I'm able to patch SlimSaber fine, so I'm wondering where the issue is. (For reference, I'm patching "SlimSaber-jflte-4.4.2.build.5.2-UNOFFICIAL-Alucard-20140521-0941.zip").
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZeroZorro:
Well....I managed! :cyclops:

Wasn't easy though cause i had several seperated issues going on...

Only 6.0.4.8 CMW recovery seems to work for me (i used mythi_i9295_swipeedit)

I had to remove *a lot* of System apps/Bloatware from Sammy stock Kitkat, now i wonder why i wanted that stock in first place :rolleyes:

Just Uninstalling Bloatware in Root Uninstaller didn't work flawless too for me, had to manually delete some files from /system/data with Root Explorer to actually reclaim this space. At the end i started installing 2nd Rom with 563 MB free Ssytem and 162 MB free before flashing Gapps

Finally flashed patched cm-11-20140725-UNOFFICIAL-jactivelte for 2nd ROM and used patched 7-24_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4_signed.

Thanks guys, was worth the journey...now diving into Dual-Share-App .... but first a Nandroid Backup or two :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
ok - I found another thing to look at have a look at/play around with - I'm trying to find an app like TWRP manager or zipinstaller to flash zips from the ROM, thing is the script reboots the phone into recovery ok but then just go into twrp main screen but don't automatically flash anything. Does anyone know why, or how we can get them to work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
Sorry just saw this.

Questing on data sharing.

I have selected both the share all and share paid apps on my secondary and multi ROM. Most of them work, although i have consistant issues with Root Explorer a a few others.

When i update the primary apps in play store, they for the most part do not update on the scondary and multi ROM. If I update one there seperately, it sometimes causes issues with the primary ROM apps.

Is there a clear cut procedure as to the updating with playstore between the ROMs ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xk0niR:
