Dualboot S5 CM12

Hello,as you have said you made dualboot of TW and CM12.

So I want to ask that you are using CM12 as your primary or secondary ROM?

If CM12 as secondary, can you please upload the patched ROM and give me the link?

I can't patch it with Patcher apk app, so I can't install it.

Thank you in advance

I have SM-G900F with TW XtreSolite too.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sock12345:
CM12 was my secondary

Will patch it and upload it to mega for ya, but will take some time, so be pacient :)

[Galaxy S 5 General] beckhamba07:
Thank you so much Sock12345 for the link, it works like a charm. Will you update me the link if CM12 release more stable version of Lollipop?

And I want to confirm to everyone that CM12 dualboot ONLY work with TW XtreStoLite ROM, otherwise it will show error installing dual ROM
[Galaxy S 5 General] candreva87:
Is it possible to dual boot Phoenix rom and a lollipop rom different from CM12?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sock12345:
Weird no problems here, using xtrolite rom as primary and albinoman his cm12 as secondary

Using the RC1 of xtrolite :)

[Galaxy S 5 General] lukas77:
Do you use albinoman's cm12 build 7? I had no problem with builds up to 6.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sock12345:
Hmm gonna give build 7 a try when home and let you know how it worked out, you have the problem when flashing it on pc to dualboot or in recovery?

[Galaxy S 5 General] lukas77:
I used apk rom patcher ver. 9DEBUG, ROM patching were successful, I flashed via TWRP and stuck on bootloader screen. I've been using same scenario with buld 6 and I had no problem at all.

I think this has to do with new files system.new.dat etc.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Sock12345:
Could also be the recovery, philz recovery always worked best for me, always did what i wanted etc. Try that recovery, if not working than maybe new files/codes are causing it :)

Is there a dual boot list for version 9 on S5

I saw that there is a list of supported dual boot ROMs on the first page of the patcher post. But that seems to be related to other version of Phone and for the older version 8.

Now that we have version 9 which works on S5, is there a list of supported ROMs.?

I use the Omega 11 and would like to add a AOSP for secondary.

Is that feasible

:confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] lukas77:
You can use as secondary Tamasek CM12 or Official CM11.

Albinoman CM12 is not compatible cause he use block update in zip file instead of files update.

Also, to patch ROM as secondary use Windows patcher cause apk is still buggy and FC during ROM patching.

[Galaxy S 5 General] mudmaster:
Thanks.

But isn't Temasek 12 only for S3?

I have it as secondary on my S3 but i do not see a option to download for S5 --> http://temasek.hopto.org/

Have someone tried the dualboot on the new samsung v5.0?
[Galaxy S 5 General] mudmaster:
Trouble with gapps for 5.0

Galax S5 Snapdragon

Is any one else having trouble deploying GAPPS 5.0 with this method ? I was trying to deploy on Temasek rom in secondary slot

Configuration used in the Patcher V9.0 App -

Patcher - Multi Boot Patcher

Config - Dual Boot

Preset - Custom

Auto Patcher - Standard Patcher

These were exactly like the config used while patching Temasek ROM except unchecked the "has boot image" (BTW tried with that as checked as well.).

Gapps used - pa_gapps-micro-5.0-ALPHA1-20141117a-signed.zip
[Galaxy S 5 General] igorescu04:
It is possible dual boot stock 5.0 and CM12 ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sock12345:
Yes it is
[Galaxy S 5 General] jordanp9312:
Just a few questions

1. Can I use Stock firmware and CM11, or MOAR ROM and CM11?

2. Where are the instructions and download links to use this awesome tool?

3. I am on 4.4.4 Sprint S5 stock firmware... Can I still flash this?

PLease some help for me. I will appreciate it.

Please, I need an answer fast
[Galaxy S 5 General] mudmaster:
- Hi

Any update on how to get the GAPPS working on CM12 as secondary???? My config is above
[Galaxy S 5 General] bobo122:
does that mean it doesn't work with stock TW ? if thats the case , then whats the reason?
[Galaxy S 5 General] beckhamba07:
i don't know the reason, but I've tried with many custom ROM like Phoenix or Omega, it doesn't work, i didnt try with stock TW, give it a try, I heard some people have successfully dual boot stock 5.0 TW and CM12.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jotade:
Hi everyone i have 900F with Philz Recovery but i cant make it work at all. I install Xtresolite as first ROM 4.4.2 but when i tried to flash via recovery the DualBootPatcher-9.0.0Alpha6-win32_RELEASE always get an error
[Galaxy S 5 General] jotade:
Hi Lukas this one loses the root access when flashing as second ROM. How to fix that? Thankls
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pedroc1999:
Is this real? Does Dual Boot actually working on the GS5?

I own a G900F, that is rooted, with Philz Recovery and Tw 4.4.2 installed on it. It has many Xposed based modifications made to it.

Is it possible, from my current position, to install 5.0 AOSP without losing data on my current installation? I will be backing up etc etc

Quick response would be great, this sounds very interesting
[Galaxy S 5 General] ipharus:
You can, but you'll need to de-bloat your TW ROM. And yes, first backup!

Remove the system apps you can live without till you have about 700 - 900Mb free on your system partition. That's about enough room to put a regular AOSP, KK or LP ROM and gapps. Maybe Xtro-lite could fit also, most other TW ROM's will be very hard as secondary.

Get the Dual Boot Patcher app on this page : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/486665/Snapshots/DualBootPatcher/index.html

Install and run the app, Set Kernel, choose Primary and continue. Patch Zip File and choose your ROM, gapps and any other package you want to flash on the secondary "slot". Mind the device setting, klte for S5!

Reboot to recovery, backup if you haven't yet and if you have, backup again just to be sure. Flash the patched ROM, gapps, ... . Choose Secondary, Multi-slot flashes to the cache. On the Galaxy S4 the cache partition is 2Gb but on G900F it's 200Mb.

Reboot and install the app, Set Kernel for secondary now. Whenever you want to switch, launch the app, choose ROM and reboot.

If you want to be able to switch from recovery, keep some clean and/or patched kernel zips handy. Flash clean zip for primary (or patched one, choose Primary ROM Upgrade) and vice versa.
[Galaxy S 5 General] croatia1:
Is the dualbootutilities.zip still required for wiping and choosing which rom? Because when I flash patched rom and gapps, which went perfectly, my S5 stucked at Galaxy S5 logo.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ipharus:
There is an updated version of DualBootUtilities.zip (DualBootUtilities-4.0-snapshot1.zip) available for download on the Dual Boot Patcher snapshot page : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/486665/Snapshots/DualBootPatcher/index.html

But regular wipe works too, it just wipes primary and secondary at once :D, and as I explained in my previous post, switching roms can be accomplised by flashing a kernel for that rom slot.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Does anyone know a good Lollipop ROM compatible with this dualboot setup? I've tried the nightly roms from cyanogenmod and one unofficial CM on a xda post and it still doesn't work. I've also tried the Fusion ROM wich was one of the most interesting ones for me and it didn't work, it always gives me a error when trying to apply the second script (that's what it says on the log). I would appreciate some tips for good Lollipop ROMs for galaxy S5, better without TW, and if someone is interested i'll post the log it gives so someone can help me out.
[Galaxy S 5 General] velayo:
I've tried pretty much every lollipop ROM and they all work fine. I guess you have a bad download or downloaded one of the latest snapshot of the dual boot utility. I'm currently dual booting xtrestolite and bliss pop. Both are working perfectly.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Wich snapshot of the dual boot utility (I guess you mean the apk and the zip that patches the ROMs) are you using? I've downloaded the latest, maybe that's why it doesn't work.

Lately I've been trying the snapshot on the link someone gave above and it says "not supported" when trying to patch it with the windows zip, I've tried on a stable version of the fusion rom i've mentioned and on the official bliss pop last stable version that you've mentioned. Do i have to patch it anyway? What am i doing bad?

Tried older snapshot of the patcher, still same result but different error (failed some sym links while executing script or something like that)

Edit: I found that by the way i had the /system folder full, so i couldn't install the dualboot there, so i have to debloat it but i don't want to break it, so i'll do it slowly. Anyway, the errors i had could be from the snapshot because it said anyway that it wasn't a supported file, so maybe i'm doing something bad with the patcher or the process, so could someone tell me what patcher and how they do it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Nicol-Fever:
Amazing:D
[Galaxy S 5 General] ninja-grandpa:
so I got it to switch kernels about having to flash the kernel using the app yeah....
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Would you guys tell me what snapshot are you using of the patcher?
[Galaxy S 5 General] candreva87:
Hi the last time I used a dual boot was on my old S2, the battery life became bad and the phone got super hot...is it the same for the S5?
[Galaxy S 5 General] mapobean:
please tell us

do you mind shareing how you were able to get this to work? I cannot for the life of me get any of the dual boot apks to set the kernels
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
So as no one told me anything I finally got it by myself, now I'm using xtrolite rom and updated pac rom as second one. If someone have any question feel free to ask and I'll try to help you
[Galaxy S 5 General] candreva87:
Hi what about the battery life and the Phone temperature with this configuration ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] velayo:
About same.
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
ok here is a question.. Primary xtrestolite and i try to use cm12 as seconday. At first it says that cm12 rom is not supported but it goes through patching it. When i reboot and cm12 comes up it just won't boot xtrestolite from the app. It hangs on switching roms. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 General] edurjbr:
Would be great to have multirom with Galaxy S5
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Yup, confirmed.

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 AM ----------

Did you set the kernel for primary and used the installation setup right?
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes i suppose i have set the kernel right. Perhaps cm12 as it comes out nowadays isn't supported?
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Well, I've tried cm12 nightly and one non official rom from a post based on cm12 and the pac rom with a part from cm12 and it works, it may be the problem I had, the system partition with not enough free space, try xtrolite rom and don't install much bloatware
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
Well i believe that latest cm12 builds are unsupported. Tried a fresh xtrolite with no bloatware as primary and still i could not boot xtrolite from cm12 (as secondary).

1) it says that cm12 isn't supported during the patching procedure

2) it will succeed during the setup of cm12 without a problem

3) it will boot cm12 but it will fail to set cm12 kernel with error failed to set kernel

4) it won't boot to xtrolite (primary)
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
All the roms I've tried said unsupported but have booted anyway. Did you set the kernel for the primary? That's the first thing you have to do. Did you use a fresh snapshot of the patcher? I guess you've chosen secondary as the patched zip was installed. By the way on Galaxy s5 the cache partition is really small (200mb), so you can't install multi boot, just primary and secondary with the fact that you have around 2gb of the system partition to play with. That's why I can't try a miui rom, 1.2gb just for system.

So the steps are this:

1) patch the cm12 Rom with a fresh snapshot (even if it says unsupported, you must select klte (s5) and custom on the patcher menu)

2) install xtrolite as primary, install then the add-ons from this rom and chose to install de custom kernel that goes with it (katonz kernel or something like that)

3) set the kernel for the primary rom you've just installed

4) go to recovery (twrp as preferred) and install first the patched cm12 rom, then reboot, install the dual boot utility to set the kernel (and set this one as secondary)

5) go then to recovery, install the patched gapps if needed and reboot.

6) enjoy

Note that this must be the order to follow as if you set the kernel first, install cm12 and then install the addons it will give you an error when trying to go to the secondary rom if the addons file isn't patched
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
Yeap this is the correct order i do it.. Only thing different is that i have philz_touch recovery. But installation goes through ok. Do you patch secondary rom from windows or android?

Thanks for your time. I will give it another try.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
First I patched it with Windows but as the snapshot I took just had the apk now I always patch it with Android
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
Ok with a fresh snapshot i got an error message when i try to set the kernel for the secondary rom. Instead of just failling with previous snapshotd now it reads: It says failed to set kernel. Boot device with codename klexx not supported.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Wich device are you using? Everything I've explained is tested on a klte Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900F).
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
Yes it is a samsung s5 g900f klte device type with product name kltexx (as taken from samsung info app).
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
I got the same device type and it's working, give me a link for the rom you want to install (without any patch) and I'll tell you what happened.
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/104649/cm-12-20150324-NIGHTLY-klte.zip

You can try this one. As primary i use xstrolite v.2.1. Dual boot latest snapshot.

Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Sorry for the late answer but I've been really busy today, I installed the last snapshot, patched it and installed and it first gave me a error on the update of my first partition xtroslite and when I flashed the cm12 you passed it gave me the error it gave to you and the problem choosing the primary to reboot, wich I solved using the dual boot utility 4.0 and switched to primary, as soon as I rebooted I've tried to go to the cm12 rom, but it said that no kernel set, so many options here:

1- problem with this snapshot (I will try the one that gave no errors to me as soon as I have time)

2- they changed something on the root of the cm12 rom and now you can't use it

3- many more errors I don't know as I'm not professional

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

Edit: Fixed problem. It was the snapshot build of the patcher (the dual boot apk) as soon as i installed the one i had i could change the ROM, here i give you the one that works for me: https://snapshots.noobdev.io/DualBootPatcherAndroid-8.0.0.r911.gedd82bf-snapshot.apk

I send you just the apk as that's just what i've tried.
[Galaxy S 5 General] trickius:
Wooohooo!!! Yes finally success. Thanks man! You did it!

this post is not well described , what does s4 with s5 ? 2 phones are different , we need a concrete post rums does this dual bot , here we only version of how it works for s4 , all wondering how it works how to install , and we have in fact only the first post of galaxy s4 how it works, there is nothing concrete to explain how it works on galaxy s5 and model list ROMs missing people stiffen as I tried all night and did not solve anything , we need a concrete explanation of how it works on galaxy s5 !

[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
It's supposed to work if you pick the correct rom compatible with your phone. Anyway I'm not the creator of nothing so if you try it is under your responsibility.
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
Thanks but could you recommend me a working primary ROM and a working secondary, any advice is really appreciated
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
As primary I would really recommend you the xtrostolite rom as is really debloated and you can install with another add on package what you really want. As secondary any rom you'd like to try. I guess most people uses a 5.0.2 rom and cm12 as they're the famous one. I have xtrostolite as primary and cm12 nightly as secondary because I had to fix the problem of another user, anyway before I had the pac rom, wich is nice too.

Remember to pick the ROM for the version of your phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Borfas:
works perfectly with alliance rom lollipop. there is no error!

1 install alliance rom and katonz kernel (lollipop test)

2 install dual bot patcher

3 open dual bot patcher

4 set kernel primary

5(dual bot): now run patcher file

6 select file cm12 and patcher

7 phone reboot recovery

8 flash cm12 patcher and select secondary.

9 have fun

Sorry if this was already answered. Does dualboot share the same data partition?
[Galaxy S 5 General] AlbeRCLife:
Yes, it creates a folder inside system called multiboot and dual wich boots the systems and another in data with the same names wich have the data from both systems
[Galaxy S 5 General] Foka002:
Right. I managed to Install XtreStolite 2.1 as primary and BlissPop 2.2 as a secondary. Process is straight forward and it works fine. But I can't figure it out how to share apps with both ROMs. In XtreStolite Dual Boot Patcher shows only "share individual applications" and when I click it shows blank page. In BlissPop ROM Dual Boot Patcher shows more options ("Share applikcations" "Share Paid applications" and "Share individual applications") but when i try to select any of this options, nothing is happening. Tickbox is still unticked. I also try to migrate /data using DualBootUtulities-4.0-snapshot1.zip but it says "nothong to migrate. Any ideas please. Cheers

Any suggestion to get Android Wear working on primary and secondary rom both?
[Galaxy S 5 General] NickPelly:
Not working for G900W8 (kltecan)

Tried doing the entire process multiple times with XtreStoLite and CM12. Using either as the primary does not work, though I do get further in the process using XtreStoLite as the primary.

Installing CM12 as the primary won't even let me set the kernel in the app ("Could not determine the boot partition because this device's codename 'kltecan' is not recognized") Picture attached!

Installing with XtreStoLite as the primary let's me set the kernel, but once I flash and boot into CM12, it won't let me change roms in the app (same error as with CM12 as the primary). Trying to switch roms using the dualboot utilities zip gives me an error saying that there was no kernel set, locking me out of the primary rom.

I'm guessing that since the klte and the kltecan have the same partition setup, adding support for it should be relatively easy... unless I really don't know what I'm talking about haha.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 General] chenxiaolong:
Thanks for letting me know! I've added "kltecan" to the klte codenames list in 8.0.0.r1085.gfbf0ff5. My server should pick up the changes soon and make a new build.

[Galaxy S 5 General] chenxiaolong:
No problem :D

By the way, if you're ever stuck in a ROM and need to switch to another, you can do it manually using TWRP only. Just go to Install -> Images (button on bottom right corner) -> Choose /sdcard/MultiBoot/[ROM id]/boot.img -> Choose "boot" -> Flash.
[Galaxy S 5 General] boostermbkking:
is possible add the function of sharing the app between the rom?

you can add rom in dual boot on the partition /data or /extsdcard?

Just a simple reply to say that this has worked perfectly for me.

I am now booting OMEGA v17 (5.0) as Primary, and CM12.1 (5.1) as Secondary.

Just one question: To get back from Secondary to Primary, I boot to recovery and flash the DualBootUtilities.zip. If I install the app on the Secondary, can I switch default ROM there?

[Galaxy S 5 General] Phk:
Actually I haven't even tried; but now you left me curious.

What is the issue\difficulty?

I didn't want the google stack on the CM secondary ROM because it is meant to be a non-traceable security audit tool.

If there was a way to boot it on RAM only (like a live CD), it would be even better :)
