Hi guys,

Having Imperium LL v9 as primary ROM (and associated Imperium kernel 2.3 with kexec hardboot), I tried to install "[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][5.1.1_r8] BlissPop v3.7 [jfltexx] [UPDATE 19/07/2015]" but I am getting the same error as xchatter (see his snapshot copied here - I have no time to take the snapshot myself as it immediately reboots by itself).

I have multirom-20150615-v32a-UNOFFICIAL-jflte.zip and TWRP_multirom_jflte_20150615.zip installed.

Any idea what's goign wrong ? 5.1.1 not supported yet maybe ?

[IMG="Mutlirom error"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29658714/20150619_114432.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks

Edit: also tried to install "[JDCTeam][5.1.1][25 July] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 builds" on external, but same thing : black screen with message "shutting down multirom to avoid data corruption"...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Menu is not showing anymore.

I've flashed Multirom again (multirom-20150615-v32a-UNOFFICIAL-jflte.zip) without look.

Inside recovery, Multirom settings seems ok.

Is there anyway to troubleshoot?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shegeloaf:
Mine worked before but now it is not working... I dont know what is wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
I'm not getting the boot menu anymore.

I've tried to uninstall MultiROM (flashing multirom_uninstaller.zip) and then flashing again multirom-20150615-v32a-UNOFFICIAL-jflte.

I'm using TWRP_multirom_jflte_20150615 as recovery.

TWRP works ok, I can flash secondary ROMs, but I can't boot on them as the boot menu does not appear regardless the TWRP settings are set so.

Oh, I also did "Inject curr. boot sector - Use this option if MultiROM does not show up on boot, for example after kernel installation.", but it did not work.

Are you on ext4?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Hmmm... No, I'm on F2FS (data, cache and system).

My 2nd partition in external sdcard is also F2FS (for the secondaries ROMs).

Oh, my internal sdcard is exFAT if it changes anything...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
Found the problem :)

This MultiROM (as the original one by Tassadar) supports only ext4 for internal partitions (external SD's doesn't matter)

In future I'll try to do it also for F2FS
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] arealmanzter_2:
Is it possible to set the Imperium 9.1 as the primary? Because when I run Multirom it shows that Recovery was not installed yet even though it was already installed. But when hitting the install button the flashing fails.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Same question. I'd like Imperium as my Primary. And I don't know why when I was trying to restore may nandroid backup I could not see it in the recovery even I selected Android.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Sorry to ask... well, an ETA... I mean, I know I can't ask... So, what's your suggestion: if it will take months, maybe I should return to ext4 and wait for you. If it is a matter of weeks, well, maybe I can wait.

Thanks for discovering and count with me to test ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
It is not like a ROM, useless to update if there aren't things to add/edit. This project is still open, and will be updated when needed

As previously said official MultiROM by Tassadar doesn't support F2FS, I must try to convert it myself and release it as "parallel" with the EXT4 version. We're on summer, in the free time if I'm not at the beach or doing something else I work on Optimized CM12.1 and (even if less) on AOSP 5.1. I'll do this, but may require weeks [emoji14]

I was waiting for the TW update. Thought that would be next.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BillSwaginGates:
It isn't really an update we are asking for, but in previous posts Antares said he was working on the Multirom zip patched with TW kernel for those of us who want to run TW as primary and still have the touch functionality in the Multirom menu, which currently doesn't work for a lot of us as the zip has the CM kernel. Not trying to rush Antares here, just asking if there was an ETA for the TW zip :)

Multirom and OTA

Hi,

When I use the OTA feature of CM rom (for me the cm12.1 optimized of AntaresOne, rom installed as secondary rom on ext4 on my microsd), I suppose that the rom updated will be the secondary one and not the primary one : am I right ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ckvisme:
No, all will flash to the primary (internal) ROM slot ...you can download via ota but you must flash manually ?

I'm not being able to reboot into recovery within the ROM (using power menu button). Phone is rebooting into ROM and not into recovery.

Using hardware buttons is the only way to get into recovery.

Is it due to MultiROM or a failure in (some) ROMs?

I don't know if this exactly helps regarding your question... But all you need a kernel with the kexec hard-boot patch in the kernel... And that's meant literally... You can wipe you don't even need a Rom in the primary internal slot... Just the kernel...

One of the m8 maintainers doesn't even have a Rom on his internal storage.. Keeps all of the on external SD..

I my self have flashed a kernel that was not compatible with my primary Rom just to add the MultiRom support.

Hope that made sense...

Things I've noticed, is anyone else experiencing these issues?

1. For ROMs that support Layers/RRO, the Layers Manager app always FC's...I'm guessing it has something to do with MultiROM because every single ROM I've tried with Layers has this issue...

2. Google Play Store seems to always FC no matter what gapps package I flash...? This is seen on all ROMs I flash as Secondary in MultiROM as well

If anybody can offer any sort of help, it would be greatly appreciated! I've been trying to run some Android 5.1 ROMs as Secondary, I have TouchWiz 5.0 (Albe S6 ROM) as my Primary
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ckvisme:
Layers is working for me on Slim ROMs ...

As far as the google fc

First try clearing cache and data from play store and play services then full reboot immediately.

If that doesn't do it then boot back to recovery

*secondary ROM/

*select run restorecon (swipe to confirm) ...reboot

I've tried doing so with MiniTool Partition Wizard but my second partition just ends up being "Other"

Is there another way to format the part to ext4 in Windows or through Android directly?

It seems to work better...just remember not all roms support all formats (like f2fs) ...I used

20gb ext4 (this is where I install roms)

44gb exfat

On the external SD card

I think internal SD is all ext4

What kind of Rom is you primary internal Rom? For me a cm Rom or AOSP does better (touchwiz as primary can have issues).

If you are already running such as NON touchwiz primary and the kernel of that primary is compatible with the secondary that's causing issues then you can remove the boot.img from the secondary (from MR recovery). Then the secondary will use the primary kernel and should clear up the issue.

We were having this same issue on the HTC MultiRom v32 as well and [MENTION=5676253]fizbanrapper[/MENTION] made some changes to MultiRom recovery and finally fixed the storage problem. (though the m8 MultiRom manager app hasn't been updated to reflect those changes yet)

I'm running albe95's lollirom v5 and yes its a TW rom. Sgh-m919 by the way. What yould you recommend since i want TW rom as my primary
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ckvisme:
My guess is if you look at the recovery.log after running restorecon it will show the restorecon script failing?

Honestly I recommend not using TouchWiz.

It will just cause more headaches for you.

Looking back through the thread I seems if you install TW as secondary that Rom will not boot consistently.

But if you run TW as primary it will likely cause unresponsive touchscreen issues in the MultiRom menu as it did for me.

I'm running BlissPop as my primary and everything seems to be working as it should , but I'm not running any TW roms.

But if your willing to deal with the no touch in the MultiRom menu (and you can use volume and pwr button to navigate) you can flash another TW for secondaries so you can remove the boot.img on that secondary if needed.

But as far as other roms as secondaries it will be a 50/50 chance you will be able to use them due to the no storage issue until the dev/maintainer has time to work on updating the recovery.

As I said, we have been dealing with the same on the m8 (with the storage issues) basically since 5.1.1

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ckvisme:
OK, I might have an idea (one that works on my m8 for secondaries that will not boot ).

I'll try it out and let you know if it works here.

Basically I'm going to flash a TW rom as primary make a NAND backup...

Then flash CM as primary and restore that NAND I made as a secondary .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Terr20114:
I'll give it a shot. I have a AICP rom already downloaded so ill make my backup, flash n report back

I'm halfway there, got the acip installed with multirom working, i tried installing he TW rom from backup but it failed, I suspect the cause is the storage space on my device so i'm transferring the stuff to USB drive (via OTG) then i'll try again. and by the way the touchscreen now works in Multirom. if the TW Rom boots without issues then i'll need to slim down the system size to save some space
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ckvisme:
Go ahead and give it a try, it almost always works on my m8

I just tried and it was a no go... MultiRom shut down when I tried to boot to my TW secondary (the NAND)...

...but it MT very well be the rom and not the technique

Worth a shot if you have time to try it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ckvisme:
One thing,

if it didn't work and your still set up.

Try removing the boot.img from your TW secondary (at this point it will NOT boot) but boot to your primary Rom,

Use a file explorer to copy the boot.img out of your TW rom zip and put it where you can find it.

Boot back to recovery select your TW secondary rom and add that boot.img back to it

...i have had luck with this b4, but haven't tried on this device yet... Good luck!
