Well, a lot of reasons for that:

1. You save a lot of space.

2. You have all your apps synced between ROMs.

3. Easy installation of new apps.

4. Faster to have a ROM running with all apps.

You see sir, we are not using smartphones like these just for the sake of having one. These phones should be a necessity because it offers ease of access. Technology is about accessibility, and if it is not accessible enough, then it is not helpful. So why would I do something that will burden me the accessibility?

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining to our good developer. This MOD is a step higher to the current accessibility of our devices. But your suggestion defeats the purpose of my request - accessibility that is this:

Hi, can it be used with a primary 4.4.2 touchwiz rom and the danv google play edition lolli?, I installed all, the multirom mod, the patched kernel and the modified twrp from the multirom app, but im not able to boot the gpe as secondary rom, it always boot a recovery instead of the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jedi134:
I`ve just installed this on my S4 via the playstore app, all seemed to go ok. I also had to install the kernel fix as I have a stock 4.2.2 rom.

But after installation it just keeps booting back into recovery, it wont boot my internal rom or any 2nd rom installed and this is the loop I get stuck in, the recovery seems to work fine all the option work etc..

It just wont boot any roms including my 1st stock rom.

I flashed cwm recovery back so I can nandroid restore my device.

any ideas what could be wrong?

Is there a way to increase the size of the secondary created partitions?

This is because I'm trying to install CM12 in the sdcard, ROM works, but after 40 apps it's blocked saying there is not enough size...

And, of course, I have free space in all partitions of my phone...

Hello, I was really desperate to get this working on my s4 active (i9525) so I added the model to the updater script and forced to install. And it works! However so far I've only got 1 ROM to choose from and in the manager app I can't configure any more ROMs to test, would you know how I could get it to work? Thanks :D

which S4 variants work?

Hi,

Which S4 variants work with MultiROM? Is it really just the I9505? What about M919 (T-Mobile USA) and I337 (AT&T USA).

Looking at the device list in the Goolge Play Store, it seems the S4 is probably the only one that has an SD card slot.

So if you wanted and external SD card, and MultiROM, the S4/I9505 seems to be your only choice..

I haven't bought a phone yet, but it may well guide my buying decision as I am excited about this MultiROM idea...

So if you succeeded with MultiROM on an S4 variant other than I9505, please let me know.

Thanks,

W.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tim-29:
Looking at the installer file from the .zip installer, all these variants are supported:

jflte,jfltexx,i9505,GT-I9505,jgedlte,i9505g,GT-I9505G,jfltespr,jflterefreshspr,jfltetmo,jfltecri,jfltecsp,jfltecan,jflteusc,jfltezm

With the 2 models you mentioned:

The m919 is codenamed "jfltetmo", which is supported.

And i337 is codename "jflteatt", which isn't supported.

Someone else may want to confirm this I'm not %100 sure is this true :)

Secondary rom not booting

I installed all successfully, I have a tw rom as primary and i installed optimized cm 12 as secondary all fine but the second rom won't boot, it return to Samsung logo with the log attached. Waiting for a solution. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] klausel:
Hey PiSpecialist,

first of all you have to have the right kernel installed for primary rom e.g. - Alucard Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch - https://github.com/Alucard24/Alucard-Kernel-jfltexx . You can use the multirom app for that.

Regarding the attached .log file you tried to flash the build from 11. jan. Multirom is supported by 25/1/2015 - Beta 9 and up. Try to flash the right build number again. Do not forget to flash a matching gapps file.

good luck

AntaresOne 2-10 build does not work in Multirom right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] klausel:

Maybe the multirom recovery is outdated, so the latest version is incompatible.

Thx in advanced.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stijnno:
i used this kernel and than it worked. and use a kernel cleaning script
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Zheen:
It doesn't work with any of the mentioned kernels. I tried Danvdh's GPS as primary and optimized CM12 as secondary and tried the previously mentioned versions of Alucard kernel but nothing works. Something must be wrong about the MultiROM implementation.

When trying booting the secondary ROM, it tried to boot into recovery, but displays a black screen instead. Then I have to hard reboot and then boot into the primary ROM with googymax3 kernel which boots and works normally.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Zheen:
Ok I'm not sure I understand this correctly. If I use my external SD card, does the SD card get partitioned? Or only one folder is added for multirom to store the ROMs and the card is not partitioned?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rebel1699:
Personally, I cant get any rom installed to sdcard (in battery compartment) or another sdcard via usb, to boot at all. When choosing the rom in multirom "external" tab, it reboots, but always boots to the internal rom. Kernels/rom combinations have no effect. But to your question, it does not partition it. It only makes a folder to hold the images. Just make sure your sdcard is either exfat or fat32. Ntfs fails to allow install.

So, boot to external is broken, and so is ntfs support (which does not really matter since external fails to boot anyways). This is most likely due to not having any update for three months to keep up with lollipop/cm12 progress. Tassadar maintained multirom was updated to v31 to correct the issue. All working fine on N7. S4, not so much.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bogzybodo:
Sorry for asking this, but can you port multirom to Samsung Galaxy S5? I would be happy to help you with any informations about the phone if you need.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rebel1699:
There is alot to updating and modifying twrp. Unless you are comfortable with building twrp from source, extracting images, modifying mount points and fstab info and much more, you're much better off just waiting.

Is this working for anyone?

i either just get stuck on the boot animation or it just boots directly back in to recovery.

my main ROM still works at least so thats good. ill have to come back to it when it actually works unless anyone knows of any alternatives?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Yes, it works. It's just a pity that it's not getting updated (TWRP and the main app), well, at least, so frequently we wish.

But it works for secondary ROMs on both installed in sdcard and internal storage.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rebel1699:
Thats not entirely true. The newest CM12 and GPE roms will not work as secondary, or external. There are updates that need to be done to get them back to working. Officially supported multirom was updated to fix the issue. Ours has not.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Sorry, but I do have CM12 working as secondary in my phone... right now...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rebel1699:
Then it is a cm12 compiled before 2-10. CM made some large changes, and it broke how multirom mounts them. This has been covered several times. Check tassadars changelog for v31 release.

Can't find boot menu

Hey Guys,

Can't boot into the boot menu of MultiROM. Am I missing something?

Volume Up = recovery?

Volume Down = bootloader/download mode?

No keybuttons pressed = booting into primary rom.

Primary ROM info:

Recovery: MultiROM TWRP 2014-12-16 (v2.8.2)

Proof that second ROM is installed:

Secondary ROM info (Paranoid Android):

Menu: Advanced > MultiROM > List ROMs > Location: /dev/block/mcblk1p1 (vfat) > pa_jflte-4.6-BETA5-2014102

What did I try?

- Advanced > MultiROM > Inject curr. boot sector

- Advanced > MultiROM > Settings > Configure Autoboot

--Keypress Based

--ROM selected for auto-boot > pa_jflte-4.6-BETA5-2014102

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] klausel:
First of all I would try to set it to time based (see attached screenshot) . If that doesn't work there is something wrong you have to flash another kernel and inject boot sector. If that also fails you have to reflash multirom.

You can't select roms on sd card for autoboot as stated in recovery.

Good luck

Make sure you also flash the recovery, and go to recovery first to setup the ROM and boot options.

Buddy, that's a 1.5GB ROM you're trying to flash. MultiROM can't handle ROMs that big. Try a debloated TW ROM. From my experiences, MultiROM won't flash ROMs that are bigger than 500 MB as secondaries in internal. Don't know about into microSD.

Guys I forgot to tell you that (according to ROM OP) ColorOS as primary or secondary ROM needs a custom kernel >.< I thought you read that in its thread.

Kexec isn't patched, so if you install ColorOS as primary ROM you can't use MultiROM! Install only as secondary
