It wont hurt to reflash the kernel... If that doesnt work redownload ubuntu touch and reflash it. ;)

PS. Dont forget to check the ubuntu box in recovery before flashing!

Hi guys,i have troubles with Chaos 9.2,how install it on second ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dueltothedeath:
Chaos cannot be installed on secondary roms unless you want to loose the ability to charge your phone..:(

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

You can share your chaos kernel from your internal rom. Just make share to check share kernel. That works just fine

I tried installing the 30 Jan ubuntu zips with both ElementalX-N5-0.28-cm and franco.Kernel-nightly-r32 with Ubuntu install checked in recovery. The installation stops. Message is about a bad zip. I redownloaded and tried again with same result. Please help!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
So i was able to boot the initial build with multirom and Elemental as primary kernel. The build from Jan-30 however i get to the google logo and it stops. I do have adb access so the rom is at least partially booted...not sure what happens...have latest version of multirom

This is what dmesg gives me as soon as i can get it

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
It can't boot because of some change in rootfs package (the bigger one, ogra updates it too, and link is still the same). For now, use this one, it's from 20140130 and works for me. The new device ZIP files are okay.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tyrany:
Isnt there a way to run the commands in the device?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 4I-I:
I think the only way to do that without terminal is through adb...

But i dont think its to good to do that if you have ubuntu installed as the secondary rom because it might f@€% up the kernel etc...

Just guessing though! ;)

Step by step procedure for Ubuntu Touch please

I am just not able to check out Ubuntu Touch, even after using the Jan 30 zip for root.fs no matter what kernel I use. Could any one who has successfully done it provide a step by step process including kernel used etc?:crying:

Edit: Finally got the right root.fs zip and booted into Ubuntu. Looks promising but we could be months away from something usable. Very cool UI!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
I think I've fixed the time/date in recovery. Please flash this recovery and report back if the time is correct or not, and if not, please attach recovery.log. Remember you still have to set the correct timezone in settings.

Unfortunatelly, it depends on Android to save the time, so if you wipe you /data, recovery won't be able to show correct date until you boot your Android ROM.

Does anyone know of a workaround for a 'app2sd' type ability to send apps to internal memory for this nexus 5?

I really like the ability to be able to have multiple ROMs but being that I only have a 16gb with 12.5gb usable it would be nice if I could share a few of the multitude of apps that I have installed and use on a daily basis...

If I fklash two Roms both running android are they supposed to share a data set
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ahow628:
For some reason, MultiROM never asks for root on my phone? I have root because I can check SuperSU and see that Greenify, Titanium Backup, and a couple of other apps are using it. For MultiROM, I was never asked and it never shows anything in the SuperSU logs. It just says that MultiROM was unable to obtain root.

Anything I can do to get it working? Any logs I can pull or anything to help solve the issue?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z31s1g:
From FAQ in 3rd post:

What do the ROMs share?

All ROMs are separate, except /sdcard, which is shared between all Android ROMs.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 4I-I:
I dont know since when, but i cant choose which rom to boot when powering on the phone... I can only choose to boot another rom in the multiboot app! o.O

Any idea how i can get it back to normal?

PS. Im using the latest recovery.img (already had the problem before changing to the new one) and im on francos r33.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
Simple fix Boot to recovery -> advanced -> multirom -> inject current boot sector -> reboot -> profit -> slap that thanks button
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Galaxysm:
Is this enough storage to boot let's say my PA ROM and Ubuntu? Using this mod?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Yea, for sure. Ubuntu won't take up quite as much room, yet, as your full Android rom because you won't have all the app data and stuff like that. I am a bit of an app fanatic and have probably a good 100 apps beyond what's preinstalled and that whole backup with everything is probably around 2 GBs. I'd expect Ubuntu is around 1 GB currently. I've just decided that I should keep my nandroid and TiBu somewhere off my phone so I don't have another 3+ GBs of space taken up. They make a little SD card holder that plugs into the USB port too that I really want for this purpose, called Meenova.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Galaxysm:
Thanks. I don't really download a lot of apps in my phone lol. And well I have a meenova card reader and it works really good for nandroids ^.^.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Cool. It's on my wish list. Give Ubuntu a shot though. It's definitely different. Not really a daily driver, but that's why MultiRom is so awesome!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Galaxysm:
That's what I plan on doing lol! Just going to figure out how to use multirom >.< and hopefully don't screw up :o lol

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 fixes the time and date in recovery and adds support for USB mouse in recovery (handy if you have cracked touchscreen).

Hey I have a suggestion: wouldn't it be a good idea to share the /data/app folder (and probably also app-lib to save some space) between roms to have synced the apps between the Roms?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] starche_old:
Quick question: I just checked and the upload date of those small and big files is the same - Jan 30. New release during uploading process I guess? :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Shanks:
I agree with this guy, pretty please Boss Tasssadar.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
It's not quite as simple as that I'm afraid.

This rootfs by ogra, linked from the first post, http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-touch-4.4.2-mir.rootfs-armhf.zip, is from 31st of January and it didn't work with the old recovery (there was a small change in one of the init scripts, which caused it to fail when run in MultiROM's environment, which then caused pretty much everything above it to fail as well).

By the way, it already contains the MIR ppa, so you don't have to add it, just touch /home/phablet/.display-mir

Also, you can update Ubuntu Touch safely via apt-get, even though it is in MultiROM (at least I hope so) if you do this in adb shell after connecting to WiFi:

export FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=1
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

If it won't boot afterwards, some of the files I had to change for MultiROM may have been updated - try to go to recovery -> Advanced -> MultiROM -> List ROMs -> *rom* -> Re-patch init.

(The "system update" in settings won't work because these images are not from system-image.ubuntu.com - not installed by the MultiROM app. They are a little bit different, and that type of updates simply doesn't work on them).

Added cursor.png (mouse support)

Added option to "settings" for using Aroma File Manager instead of TWRP file manager (big thanks to [MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] for the idea)

HOW TO USE AROMA FM:

Download this flashable zip.

Flash the zip in recovery.

It will copy the flashable Aroma FM package to \TWRP\aromafm.

Go to "settings" and tick the option to use Aroma FM.

Profit.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
AOKP doesn't work because they want to see the world burn. They are using CM kernel, and they didn't merge all of CM's commit which means there's only one DTB in boot.img, the one which is stored as another blob in boot.img and not the one appended to zImage like everyone else has it. Why. Why would you do that?

Anyway, fix incoming in a few I guess.

Also, I'm gonna try to make CM revert that change in their device folder, because it is simply useless, unneeded and it confuses people who inherit from it.
