Guys, anybody try using latest TWRP 2.8.1.0 with this Multirom mod instead of using the provided modified recovery in the OP ?

Can this be done or we need to stick only with the provided TWRP ?
[ONE Android Development] beany>:
I've not tried it but assume it won't work because you need the modified menu options and the MultiROM boot injection.

[ONE Android Development] rifraf1:
Flashed the new recovery and MultiROM through the app and now it will only boot into the secondary ROM that I had set as the default. Have to use the hard keys to get back into recovery as the MultiROM startup menu never shows up, it gets bypassed for a boot into the default rom. I can use the app to boot into my other secondary roms but any reboot will go staright into the default secondary rom and bypass the MultiROM startup screen. Flashing the previous version 28d and operations return to normal.

Should I flash back to the older recovery as well, are they paired to work together?
[ONE Android Development] KINGbabasula:
Please check the changelog, you have to enable boot menu from recovery pr keep the button pressed
[ONE Android Development] rifraf1:
Sorry, a little confused. Are you talking about the disabled/time based/keypress based options in the boot configuration options for multirom?

They are set to time based and still no startup screen.

Got working Color OS 2.0.19_Beta on multirom (android 4.3 not 4.4.2).

Just flashed this version:

V3.1_VECTOR_12_019:

on secondary rom with latest TWRP and multirom, then switched with primary. Working perfect even 50 mpx camera from oppo works.

This will break somehow multiboot features, but if you make a backup of your primary rom you could swith back easy.
[ONE Android Development] Bieka:
Hey,

i solved my Problems. Here is what i have done and also found out.

I flashed an old TWRP 2.7.0.1 from this Forum and wiped Dalvik and Cache Partition. Then uninstalled MultiRom App and reinstalled it from Play Store. Then flashed MultiRom and TWRP MultiRom Version. Booting into any (internal and all following Roms...) causes black screen and this for some time! After a few Seconds/Minutes the Animation pops on for the last sequence and the Rom is booted. I tested this with Stock 38R and Mahdi! Both showing the same! But working good! Hope this can help somebody!!!

Noob here... Can someone tell me what I did wrong: First I swapped my internal rom for my secondary rom. Then I updated my internal rom but I did it from the rom list (I didn't inject current boot sector) and now when I try to boot any of my secondary roms it stays I need a kexec kernel to hardboot. How should I fix this?

Btw, I'm on v28 of Multirom.

Thanks! And loving Multirom...
[ONE Android Development] xanthrax:
The rom you have updated from primary came with a non patched kernel, its stock kernel so you need to flash the one you used before updating

Sent from my Darkside of 1+1
[ONE Android Development] scott62185:
Okay, so my confusion is, can I update the primary/internal rom from the rom list? It's not named Internal there, but it still is the internal rom? I know the OP says to update the primary rom by inject current boot sector but I've tried doing that and I don't see anything that happens.

So, sounds like I should select my primary rom from the rom list and flash a supported kernel? Or just swap the rom's back to where they were?

Thanks a lot
[ONE Android Development] xanthrax:
To update the internal (primary) ROM you just flash the ROM zip as normal, without selecting it ftom ROM list

The rom list doesn't show your primary (internal) ROM, from there you will update the 2nd, 3rd... Roms

Now, flash a patched kernel as normal, it will go to the internal ROM, be sure it matches the android base, cm11 or cm11s

Sent from my Darkside of 1+1
[ONE Android Development] scott62185:
Oh, okay. So, what do I select before I flash the kernel? I select Multirom and then what from there?
[ONE Android Development] xanthrax:
Lol.. No, to flash the kernel on primary aka internal ROM just flash as Normal, chose multirom to flash something on the rest of the roms

[ONE Android Development] scott62185:
Oh! You mean don't even go into Multirom! Damn, I missed that bit of info. Lol. Got it.

One more question, the rom I swapped into my internal rom I can still see in my rom list (as a secondary rom). Why is that? Is it still a secondary rom and thus I can alter it from there?
[ONE Android Development] xanthrax:
This is because you didn't change its name

You can do it from multirom manager, boot into it from recovery and you'll see that it is the other one, lol, you're lost but you will learn

You're mixing up the multirom manager ROM list where it shows the internal and the other roms with multiboot, the recovery utility where on ROM list shows only the secondary roms

Sent from my Darkside of 1+1
[ONE Android Development] scott62185:
Lol, lost is right. Okay, just to be clear: I swapped Fusion Jack's Slimsaber into internal/primary rom (Robbie's Sabermod Slim was in that internal slot before). But now I still see FJ's Slimsaber in my rom list. Is it still a secondary rom also? So then I can update it from the rom list?
[ONE Android Development] xanthrax:
Look, I swapped color os which was internal with mahdi

On ROM list it still shows color os because I haven't renamed it but my internal is mahdi, not color os

Just flash the patched kernel on internal and boot into it, open multirom manager and check

Backup to USB OTG, Mount USB OTG are not available options in MultiROM's TWRP. These options are available in the normal TWRP.

I'm not sure whether Restore from USB OTG works because I have no Backups to test.

PS. 'Add' secondary ROM to USB OTG works though.

Quick question; i have installed MultiROM onto my OnePlus One and it works fine, but now i want to install ParanoidAndroid alongside CM11S. Would i be right in saying that the procedure to do this would be to boot into recovery, select Advanced/Multirom/Add ROM and install the stock CM11S zip, then flash ParanoidAndroid afterwards on top of this? If this is correct, how do i make sure that the ParanoidAndroid zip will flash over the secondary ROM and not the primary ROM?
[ONE Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Inside the multirom twrp recovery you'd select the add rom, correct, but feed it the PA install zip instead of the cm11s
[ONE Android Development] beany>:
As said, advanced, multirom, add, pa zip.

Then back and select list ROMs, select pa, flash, select your gapps zip.

Then if you want root, back, flash, select supersu.

Repeat this if there is anything else you want to flash.

Some RIMs you are advised to boot then go back to recovery to flash gapps etc - I don't recall that betting necessary for pa.
[ONE Android Development] P650SE:
Tzfardaya and Beany, thank you both very much for your help, you have been of great assistance! Quick responses too, much faster than i was expecting. I didn't realise ParanoidAndroid or any other ROM for that matter could be flashed straight away, i thought it had to go over the stock ROM to begin with. I'll try flashing PA now and see whether it works with MultiROM on my phone! Thanks once again!

Had Multirom V26 installed, but when i tested it today it didnt boot.

Cant remember or it does need a primary ROM with a Kexec patched kernel, or this is a bug.

Secondary ROM was PA with AK Kernel with the Kexec patch, and made PA default boot.

Will booting into the stock CM11S.

Do i need a Kexec patched primary kernel too?

I see version 29 in MultiROM Manager is that correct? Your title still says 28d. It is ok to upgrade the recovery to 2014-10-31? Currently running v28d and recovery is 2014-09-04. With AK for 44S kernel and multi rom still works. Just wondering if I should update multirom and recovery.

backing up secondary roms - dev request.

Hi,

firstly thanks for this tool. Really cool and the latest version is working really well. I have a development request for the TWRP component.

Is it possible using the modified TWRP to make a backup, including all the data files used by the secondary roms, as an option so that when I make a new nandroid for the primary rom, all the data files for all (or a selection would be even better) of the secondary roms as part of the nandroid.

P.S your poll is a little irrelevant now as AK 77 works on cm11s and aosp roms, so I use it for both AOSP and CM11s
[ONE Android Development] bud77:
The data files are in userspace filesystem. It will never be backuped up by a nandroid

You can access it using any root file manager in "/data/media/0/multirom/roms"
[ONE Android Development] zaphodbeeb:
Yes I realise that, but my point is that if want to make a backup of the secondary roms it involves much work. For each rom I want to backup I need to:

- make it the primary

- do a TWRP backup for the rom once primary

- copy all the separate TWRP backups to my PC/cloud storage.

I also have to restore each one in turn and demote each to secondary.

What I was suggesting is an option to generate a new type of TWRP nandroid which includes the data/media/0/multirom/roms. Hence the suggestion for development. This way I would only need to take a single nandroid to backup all. As previously mentioned, the ability to select which secondary roms are included in the TWRP would be a nice touch.

I have to do this quite often at the moment, as I am using both F2FS and ext4 roms. The problem is that they can't co-exist, so the partitions have to be re-formatted, destroying all data. It takes much time to backup and restore secondary roms at present. This would make it easier and much quicker.
[ONE Android Development] xanthrax:

[ONE Android Development] zaphodbeeb:
p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; } Exactly. Demonstrates my point nicely. Currently I have to generate a backup for each of the secondary roms. To restore the backup I have to create a new secondary rom. One for each secondary rom.

My suggestion for development is to enable TWRP not only backup the primary rom, but also the secondary roms associated with it (i.e. to include, not exclude the /data/media/0/multirom/roms) in the single nandroid.

This single backup, when restored, would be a complete restoration of the primary and all secondary roms, in one go , saving much effort.

I am not requesting how to assistance, but trying to suggest a new function. Isnt this a dev thread?:confused:
[ONE Android Development] scott62185:

Talk to them like what? Second thoughts, please dont respond. It adds no value.
[ONE Android Development] bud77:
Like I said before, secondary roms are in USERSPACE (/data/media), and can't be backuped up with a nandroid. So what you want will never happen

Just plug your phone to your computer and manually save it

Also, secondary roms and primary rom are not linked to each other

And finally, a backup like you want would be at least over 8Gb when you have 3 roms, this is just insane, and useless for 99.9999999% of the people using it
[ONE Android Development] zaphodbeeb:
How? I plug in my phone and the /data/media/0/mulitrom directory is not visible.

Yes it would be a large backup, but not "insane". It would be what a regular nandroid backup is. i.e. a complete and restorable backup of the phone. As this is TWRP and multirom I would think 99.9999999% of all multirom users would have more than 1 rom (else why have multirom) and very useful. Currently as i have previously stated the only way to have an effective restorable nandroid for each secondary rom is to go through the prelonged process of making primary, doing a full nandroid, copying this to the PC (for backup). To restore it, it has to be coped back to the TWRP folder, restored (as primary) demoted to secondary. Takes forever, a single nandroid sounds like a good option to me.
[ONE Android Development] bud77:
Oh, you're right. I meant the TWRP backups. But you can also use a root file manager on the phone, and copy the secondary roms on /sdcard

Once again, a nandroid do NOT backup userspace data (/sdcard or /data/media/0) so please stop talking about nandroid, once for all

And once again, you don't need to make a secondary rom the primary in order to make a backup, there is the multirom menu in the screenshot posted previously (and it is a nandroid backup for each rom)

Do you actually take time to read what have been replied to you ???
