Nothing. I've changed my build system* to build recovery for deb/tilapia automatically. You'll receive another MultiROM Manager update from google play in several hours though.

*Read "bunch of bash and python scripts hacked together".

I don't think "nothing happens after pressing flash" is my problem, the part MultiROM has to take care of starts in recovery. About that it boots the internal - make sure it is set properly, "boot last ROM" in recovery, multirom settings, autoboot config.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Austin808:
I will see if other OmniRom users are having problems with this.

I was finally able to get this setting to stick. I had to click the save button in the auto boot settings and then on the main multirom settings page for it to stick. Now its working correctly.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Lilsir64:
If I changed my primary ROM (internal) to something else, would I have to install a different modified kernel depending on the ROM I am changing to?

Also I understand OTA doesn't work for primary because of the modified kernel to keep multirom working. Can the secondary ROMs get OTA? (Such as CM11 )
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GialanG:
Yes, the current internal rom must always have kexec hardboot patched kernel. Since recent versions of MultiRom, secondary rons should receive and install OTAs properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Austin808:
I tracked down the OmniRom not flashing the OTA down to using a different kernel. So looks like MultiROM is working perfectly. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] treyweez11:
Im new to Multirom and I must say that this thing rocks! Idk if anyone knows how to answer this but how much more space does this take up in comparison to having only one ROM?

thanks a lot for this multirom for our flo

According to this and many other articles that were published earlier this week it looks like that only N7(2013-flo) will receive continued development and support for Ubuntu touch.

http://m.androidauthority.com/only-nexus-4-nexus-7-2013-ubuntu-touch-support-334718/

This said I'm confused on the "continued" part... I too haven't seen anything for flo anywhere.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Ambious:
I think they meant that the Nexus 7 will 'continue' on the 2013 models, so the flo will replace grouper.

I just hope they have a deb build as well :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] treyweez11:
I don't see anything to worry about because most of the Xda work cone from unofficial ports and whatnot. I think the community has a pretty strong developmental integrity so y'all will be aiight!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Grondinm:
so just noticed something odd...when i look at last_kmsg on my primaryrom(CM-11) this is the kernel it says it booted

This is not the kernel i have installed. Is something wrong with my setup or is this expected? if it is expected how can i diagnose kernel issues if i cannot get this log...can anyone else look at /proc/last_kmsg and tell me if they see that same line...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] vibranze:
Hi, I have 2 ROMs installed with MultiROM. One of them is stock/factory ROM. I have an update from Google to 4.4.2, I downloaded it and upon rebooted it went to TWRP.

My question is do you know where is the downloaded file located so I can choose/use it for upgrade? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mdamaged:
Is it not in /cache?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] vibranze:
Thanks, but how do I access /cache from TWRP? In CWM it will automagically load the update file and flash.

Or is there a way to copy it out using a file manager?

Thanks again.

Cheers.

Update: I managed to find the .zip file for update and did an update in Recovery, using Advanced - List ROMS - Flash ZIP and it failed. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mdamaged:
Yeah, boot into MultiROMs TWRP:

If the ROM to have the update applied to is a secondary ROM, hit Advanced, MultiROM, then select List ROMs, pick the ROM, then Flash Zip, navigate to /cache, and find the OTA and flash it, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot.

If the ROM you want to update is the main ROM, then just go to Install and navigate to /cache, and find the OTA and flash it, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot.

If you want to move the file for any reason to somewhere else, hit Advanced, then File Manager, you should be at root, and should see cache folder, you can then go in there and move it to where you want.

Post a screenshot, but I'll bet it was some file that was changed in /system. Just flash the system.img from the stock ROM you're on now, then the update will take.

First testing builds of Ubuntu Touch for flo were released, read https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg06116.html.

They are compatible with MultiROM and can be flashed via TWRP when packed to ZIP Files

Update to MultiROM v21a (http://d-h.st/bPS) or newer

Go to recovery, Add ROM -> select Ubuntu Touch -> Next

Two files - one is device specific, second is the Ubuntu Touch system:

Device-specific file: ubuntu-touch-4.4.2-system-armel+flo.zip (mirror)

System file (this one is from ogra with MIR fixes): ubuntu-touch-4.4.2-mir.rootfs-armhf.zip

Continue installation and profit. Needs about 2GiB of free space, by the way.

It can't be installed via the MultiROM Manager app because it is not official build, therefore it is not using system-image OTA system on which the app relies.

Well, since you have multirom, you could try it as a secondary without hurting anything, obviously if flashing it worked, the radio would not function...and if the package tests for what device you have, flashing may error out.

I have read on these forums where someone flashed a flo rom to their deb and they claimed it worked, though that person could have been trying to prove another poster wrong, so it may or may not be true.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Depau:
Hello, is it possible to make a flashable zip for the base system of Ubuntu Touch? They just released a preview for flo, and I actually managed to use it, but I had to flash the stock rom and then manually the images provided, through the bootloader. I tried in every way to get it working in multirom but I couldn't manage to do it.

This is where you can get the images: https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg06116.html

The steps to get it working (without multirom, it will erase everything) are these:

Download the latest stock ROM from Google

Flash it

Download the recovery, boot and system images from that page

Flash them with fastboot

Go into recovery

Download and install/sideload the zip provided in that page

Run "sudo phablet-network" on the computer

Add this PPA: "apt-add-repository ppa:rsalveti/ppa"

Update: "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade"

Set MIR at startup: "touch /home/phablet/.display-mir"

I tried to skip some steps that I considered superfluous (flashing the stock rom), but I only ended up with a busybox fallback shell on ADB instead of bash. I also tried to flash system and boot, make a backup, restore as a ROM, flash the zip in the rom, but again I got busybox.

I tried to make a backup of everything with TWRP, put back MultiROM and CyanogenMod and restore the backup as a ROM, but it didn't work. either. I don't know what else I can do...

Summarizing the question again: could you make a flashable zip for system and boot compatible with MultiROM, so that the only thing that you need to do is flashing the zip provided by Ricardo Salveti?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
Well, I'm speechless. You've managed to miss what last like 3 pages of this thread were about, the post just before yours, the thread title, the changelog and the first post (although it's true that it is in there only since yesterday). Anyway, check the first post, section "Adding ROMs".

But there's more discussion about Ubuntu Touch for the N7 2013 in this thread than that one.

I mean, the main things for me were screens overlapping/only opening up halfway, Wi-Fi not automatically logging in, keyboard inop at times, can't use terminal, and completely freezing requiring me to hold the power button to reboot.

I've got an N7 2012 that my wife barely uses. Multi-boot works for that, doesn't it? Is Ubuntu Touch fully operational for that device? I might give that a try this weekend.

New recovery released. It fixes new Ubuntu builds, you no longer need to use the old rootfs I uploaded - use the newer one from the first post. It doesn't bring any major changes to Ubuntu Touch, I just added some more workarounds to make those newer images compatible with MultiROM.

It also improves the scrollbar behaviour and adds support for USB mouse in recovery (handy if you have cracked touchscreen).
