[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Der dicke Baer:
Hello,

I discussed in follwing thread a way to install a Stock ROM 1st and 2nd in dual boot. With some help a way with devil Kernel and some backup/restore is pointed out.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/dual-boot-stock-rom-googy-max2-t2785143

But first I was sure to get it done with the Googy Kernel ans sTweak alone, and I have to ask, why it don't work. I have read the notes on first page of this thread, there is written that this newest Googy Version is Supporting Sammy 4.3. And I think with Sammy you mean Sammobile Stockroms, and that is exactly what I want. So I don't understand at the moment, why I have to choose other solutions and why it don't work with Googy when this is a supporting sammy 4.3 Version.

Situation

:

- I have a stock 4.3 ROM installed on my 1st ROM, and now I want to install a 2nd ROM (also stock rom sammobile with different provider branding) on my phone.

- I have installed Googy (newest version, 2.3.1), sTweak and can boot in Googy Recovery Options.

- As result I want Dual ROM with two stock ROMs

- both same Android Version (4.3).

- My 1st ROM, primary active ROM, is already installed. In the end with dual boot config, this ROM should be the 1st ROM again. The second ROM should be the new ROM, with different firmware branding.

- 2nd ROM should be a fresh (clean) ROM or "wiped"

Problems, both in Goody Dual Boot Options:

1.) When I click on "install zip to 2nd ROM from external SD" and select the Stock ROM Zip file from Sammobile-Firmware-Donwloads, then it's aborting.

As I have understood, that is normal. Because the Recovery is not supporting installing sammobile Stock ROMs. So I am fine here. So 1.) is not a real problem as it is "as designed" as I got explained.

2.) My next plan was to clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM, which I thought Googy 2.3.1 is supporting. But when I select "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM" in Googy CWM, then error message comes up:

Not enough Space on SD. Available 0MB

But I have lots of free space on internal and external Memory. And 2nd ROM should be empty at the moment, because I try to install 2nd ROM first time. I have tried it with "Format 2nd ROM system" before, and also tried with other Wipes-Selections for 2nd ROM before. At "Format 2nd ROM system" the action is really fast, less 2 seconds, and he said "done" but I think he is not really doing to prepare second ROM.

So I end up with these questions

- Why I get the "No Space" Error in 2.) "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM"? And how I get rid of it? Or is cloning of 4.3 ROMs not supported?

- And last but not least the most important question ... is there a better and easier way to get the result I want: Two installed Stock ROMs, only difference in Branding (two different Firmware-files), both same Android Version (4.3), both Stock ROMs (but different ones).

Here is the actual plan I have pointed out in the thread linked above. But I have edited some steps, because at the moment I am not sure Googy can handle it or not. Following steps would be possible when Googy Dual boot option can handle cloning Stock ROM 1st to 2nd.:

Googy Dual Boot options have also a Action called "swap".

When this swapping option would work for my 4.3 ROMs also, this would be more easier. So I would only clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM, Update the 1st ROM with mobile ODIN, then swap both ROMs to have primary active ROM back as 1st ROM.

This Googy dual Boot Option Swap should work also? That would be more easier.
