Thanks but still, not the same for all Androids.

In order to address this problem, I have installed a parted binary in order to use the parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print command. The problem is that parted sometimes expects feedback from the user, so if I pipe the output to grep or awk in order to pass the information I need into variables, the user never sees the questions, so parted just waits there forever!

1. SD card degradation comes from writes, not from reads. Yes, you can expect some but not as much as using a swap file or partition that constantly writes. Practically, your SD will be worn just as much as your internal phone memory.

2. The class of the card will only affect the speed of your system. Yes, it would be advisable to use a class 6 or higher, but don't let this put you off if you only have a class 2 to spare.

3. The partitions have to be as large as you need them to be. It is advisable to make them same as your internal ones but not essential. If, for example, you don't need to install GAPPS, your system partition can be really small. Also, the size of your data partition has mainly to do with how many apps you want to install as a user. If you are only doing development tests and it's not going to be your main ROM, then your data partition can be small too. The cache partition is small anyway, so no need to mention that.

4. Right now I have this exact setup. ICS as a primary ROM and KK as a secondary. They both work fine and SELinux doesn't seem to interfere with the dual-boot.

Ya I think may have to use USB otg because every time I try to mount mmcblk0p37 it comes up as a failure its not very practical but think I might just try and do it just for proof of concept but I have got it to work on evo 3d and Sgs3
[Android General] dreccon:
The SGS3 has built-in support for OTG. For the Evo3D, your secondary ROM must have a suitable OTG-supporting kernel and you'll also need a powered OTG cable.

I haven't really seen a Nook, so I don't know how it works. All I know is that I have a 64GB SD and I wouldn't want to swap it for dual-boot. Then again, that's just me!

[Android General] Kesselaar:
Hey,

This looks like an awesome idea. I have been thinking of a way to do this for ages. When I find time ill give it a go. Looks like it might not be as simple for me. I have a One s with the internal SD card. But keen to give it a go :)
[Android General] dreccon:
OK, use this to convert a zip. Then check the resulting zip and see if updater-script and ramdisk have been edited properly.

This should work for stock-based ROMs for the OneSV. For AOSP-based ROMs, I believe the original ZipEditor will do.
[Android General] :
Oh yea :)

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

[MENTION=2863096]dreccon[/MENTION], it works great. Only one issue, your script for the "One SV" searches for the fstab.* file within the boot.img. It will need to search all the files on the root of the ramdisk in order to successfully make the dualboot.img. Just a heads up. Otherwise, the scripts will make this MUCH smoother lol :). Thanks bro.

[MENTION=5089229]russellvone[/MENTION], I am tagging you just so you are aware of this.
[Android General] dreccon:
Sorry, I introduced a small bug when doing the changes. Tell me if this one works and I will integrate it to the main ZipEditor.

Sent from the 3rd dimension!
[Android General] :
Thanks, I will compare it with the other one. I am currently editing your previous one to fix the problems. I got it to unpack the ramdisk properly and repack lol. It initially was acting crazy in that regard but I resolved it. Now it is currently giving lines for bad directories when attempting to make changes to the files found at the root of the ramdisk. I think it is due to it not stepping back one directory prior to conducting its command(s). Anyways, checking now :)
[Android General] dreccon:
Yes, the problem was one cd command. It should be working fine now.

[Android General] :
Fix this, and she will be up and going %100 :)
[Android General] dreccon:
Hmmm, this probably happens because I'm trying to edit ramdisk/* which also includes directories. I need to find out how to point to files only. This may take me a while. As I said before, I'm just learning bash on the way...

Sent from the 3rd dimension!
[Android General] :
Yea, I noticed you have it changing directories to /data/local/tmp after it is done with the fstab files. Any reason for that? I assumed maybe it was because the binaries were editing the boot.img within that directory, but I wanted to confirm, because when it goes for the fstab files this isn't the case.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

It is already changed to that temp directory, so I couldnt understand why it was doing it again lol.

Edit: nevermind........ Just saw as to why it does haha. Facepalm!

Two things:

1. All files that need to be edited have the .rc file extension. This solves the problem

2. In your guide, you say that, for example, emmc@system has to be replaced with mmcblk1p2. Shouldn't it be /dev/block/mmcblk1p2?

[Android General] :
You are correct. I only point out the partition itself, not the actual directory as you simply stated. I figured that would be common sense to the experience lol. But, now that you say it like that. I guess I should go back and change it :P ...Grrr

You could use the same script to modify the recovery also :) instead of making a completely different script.

Currently on my secondary Rom right now.
[Android General] dreccon:
Great! I will update my OP tomorrow.

When I port my Recovery script there will be no need to flash another recovery. The script is not an editor but a full-blown recovery with backup, restore and wipe functions. It currently works only on the LGP920 but with the experience I got from the ZipEditor, I will be able to make it work everywhere.

Hm... in the updater script (for lg p940) there is no "mmcblk0p ".:confused: There are paths called

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

...

What do I have to change (or add) in order to use the external sd mount points?
[Android General] dreccon:
Change:
[COLOR=red]mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system", "/system"); [/COLOR]
into:
[COLOR=red]mount("ext4","EMMC","/dev/block/mmcblk1p2","/system");[/COLOR]
The same counts for format.
If you also have [COLOR=red].../by-name/userdata...[/COLOR] entries, don't forget to change them into [COLOR=red]mmcblk1p3[/COLOR].
Your RamDisk edits must be similar.

[Android General] Buzz7:
Thanks:good:

I edited all /system mounts so far.

And does the following line has to stay like it is?

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot");

(as I don´t want to destroy my boot partition ;) )

Finally, I got two questions about the rom switching and backup scripts: 1. Will they work for the path structure of my phone? Do you have to place them on the internal sd card?
[Android General] dreccon:
You must leave your boot line as is. This way your edited boot.img will be flashed into your boot partition and your phone will load your secondary ROM.

Have you found a suitable way to unpack and repack your boot.img?

In order for the scripts to work, you must find the actual numbers of your partitions (read OP) and run the DBootRecovery script once. The first time it is run, it will try to detect the partitions itself and ask you for confirmation. If it doesn't detect them, it will ask you to provide them manually. Then the scripts will work.

I cannot stress enough that you must make a nandroid of your primary ROM before you flash anything!

[Android General] Buzz7:
Thank you very much for your assistance! :)

I´ve modified all the files (including boot.img witch android kitchen) and I am pretty sure that it would work, but...

when I returned to stock ICS firmware today, I found out that HDMI output doesn´t work any more: the phone crashes instantly and reboots continuously. :mad: Therefore my only reason for wanting dualboot is gone, so I´ll stick to CM as my only ROM.

Even several clean installs and hard resets could not solve this issue. It still works with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but right now I am not willing to leave that inconvenient firmware on my phone only to use HDMI once in a while.

So, this dualboot method is definitely cool, but I went back on my decision and will stick to singleboot (at least for now).
[Android General] BadMilo:
Hi dreccon, did you ever managed to get stock ICS as 2 rom for p920 and if so could you share the kernel.

Just flash the kernel from your primary ROM and reboot. If you used the automated zip converter, then just run the SwitchROM script.

If you want to dump dual boot all together, then boot to your primary ROM and format your SD card (after you back it up, of course).

Good idea to take those screenshots. They helped a lot.

So, you have installed CM7 as your primary ROM (was it meant to be your secondary one?). The only way to return to the ROM you previously had is to restore your backup. I hope you have one.

I can see that you have created partitions for a secondary ROM but they are not being used at the moment. The P920 is a little stubborn when it comes to its boot images. The only ROM that can be correctly converted for use as a secondary with the automatic zip converter (in this thread) is Nameless 4.4.4 by troopii. If you want to use CM10 or berni's PACman 10.1, then I suggest you take a look at the P920-specific thread (link is in my signature). Take your time and read the guide carefully. Make sure you have understood everything before you begin.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
Do you want to hide the root or unroot the device.

No Nexus 7's are sent rooted from the manufacturer if it is rooted then this has been done by a user. Wugfresh nexus toolkit has an option to unroot but this involves flashing an unrooted stock ROM and will wipe the device. I'm not aware of any other way to unroot the tablet. Some apps say that they can hide the su binary from other apps. For more info on what "root access" actually is see XDA university for a pretty concise explanation. Try hide my root by amphoras if you can't get that on hotspot PM me and I will send you the .apk file.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, SheepRaider...

If your Nexus 7 is rooted with

Chainfire

, then unrooting it should be relatively straightforward...

------------------------------------------------------------

** Go into the App Drawer and locate the SuperSU app. By default, the icon should be a YELLOW triangle with a RED hash (#) overlayed on top of it. However, this may have been changed by whoever originally rooted the device. See the first thumbnail at the bottom of this post for the alternative icons. If it's been made invisible (hidden from launcher), then things become a little more technically challenging. See

this post

for more details on this.

** Once you have located the SuperSU app, run it and tap on the SETTINGS tab.

** Scroll down to the option, Full unroot - Cleanup for permanent unroot, tap on this and follow the on screen instructions.

** Reboot your Nexus 7... you should now be unrooted.

------------------------------------------------------------

Take a look at my attached thumbnail images for the sort of things you should expect to see.

Hope this helps... and good luck.

Rgrds,

Ged.
