Is there any way to patch stock cm11 or pacman kernel?

I don't want to unsecure my primary ROM by installing a another kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
[MENTION=899471]pikatchu[/MENTION]

No, the only way to patch stock kernel is to modify kernel source and compile. Since it's a project that I do only in free time, asap I build a kernel

Out of interest, has anyone managed to boot a TW ROM as a secondary with an AOSP ROM as a primary?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
[MENTION=4325898]Okaham[/MENTION] did this, but as I told him and as he noticed, it's useless to use a TW ROM as secondary since it's space-wasting. But works

EDIT: New recovery build available (20140916). Download here

Changes: Better MTP compatibility

Optional update, but (always) suggested.

Which custom kernels are available that works with multirom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rebel1699:
Multirom can handle packages over 500Mb just fine. Pitfall is, multirom alters it, so it cant be used as a regular non-multirom zip install package afterwards.

His issues are much more likely due to changes in newer roms fstab, which have not been updated into S4 multirom as of yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Xenotrumpet:
Huh. Didn't know that. For the most part, any ROM that I try to install through MultiROM over 500 MB fails to boot and instead gives me an error message.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
Updates on the way!

Before building a MultiROM update I need to recreate its device tree since it's too dirty now (if someone looks in my GitHub...)

Other things to do:

-Add Lollipop crypto support, otherwise encrypted /data partition may be a problem

-Do something for SELinux, otherwise if secondary ROM/s have it as "enforcing" won't boot. Flashing Alucard kernel or any other custom kernel with SELinux permissive will not cause issues.

Once everything is ready I can release an update for you.

If anyone saw my Facebook page, there's a MultiROM pic directly from my build system. There's the new v31 perfectly working, but I'm experiencing serious issues with recovery:

Our recovery partition is only 10.4MB, MultiROM TWRP is bigger than original TWRP. The other times I compiled the first one I always removed some unneeded stuff, but unfortunately this time with the v2.8.5 isn't enough, still too big and it's needed for better Lollipop ROMs support

This is not a bye to this project, just that I need some time to do something :)

Important: you need to flash this kernel (Kernel-Alucard-V1.of[20-35]-[09-12]-AOSPV2-EUR-LP5.0-SGIV-PWR-CORE) after flashing the cm rom to boot the secondary rom, if you don’t want bootloop.

But Antares, the official TWRP 2.8.6.0 is out for our device... :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
No way mate, our device is write protected...

This means that we can't touch the partition table without JTAG reflash

You mean my 2.8.6.0 with F2FS support? Yes... The problem is that original TWRP is ~2.5MB less size in ramdisk when compiled than MultiROM's, and this last is required to manage its stuff.

Unfortunately it needs some things more, these make recovery ramdisk bigger and impossible to flash built image on the device...

I'm still trying to find a way even if it's hard, therefore this project is suspended till I don't succeed in building a fully working recovery update, since it's really required to have 100% compatibility with the new MultiROM v31 and Lollipop ROMs.

Sadly apologize for the issue but it's not my fault

"E: Failed to open themezip" in red

Hi. I have i9505 and I tried to install multirom with the installer. It said that "download multirom TWRP : successfull. Checking Multirom TWRP : failed"

And after that "installation failed. try again". I tried couple times but it didint work so i installed manualy.

In the multirom installer app it says that everything is now installed.

Ewerything seems to work but in recovery it says "E: Failed to open themezip" in red so it looks like classical TWRP.

And when i try to install as secondary the offical CM12.1 i got bootloop. My primary is not F2FS so i the optimized cm12.1 will not work. But why is not the offical not working? :eek:

MultiROM, S4 and Stock Lollipop

Hi all,

I want to try MultiROM on my Galaxy S4, already updated to the Lollipop 5.0.1 stock rom from Samsung. And add CM12.1 OPT as a second rom to test Lollipop 5.1.1 on my phone.

Through this forum, I first understood that it was possible and then that it wasn't. When I look at the list of modified kernels, I don't see modified kernels for TW Lollipop 5.0.1.

So my question is : is there a way to install this MultiROM with my Lollipop S4 ? If yes, which kernel do I hae to take ? And is it compatible with CM12.1OPT, or any other Lollipop 5.1.1-based rom ?

Updates!

Hi guys

I have a news for you...

Samsung made our recovery partition only 10.5MB big, while the new recovery is much bigger. Finally I succeeded into building the new recovery for our device, and to achieve this I had to sacrifice some things: crypto compatibility (the encrypted /data partitions can't be managed anymore, not that bad since MultiROM wasn't compatible with this. If you don't know what's Android encryption then your partition is not encrypted) and SuperSU installer (you can't root a ROM with integrated TWRP feature anymore, but you can still flash SuperSU zip)

Now, let the game begin :cool:

MultiROM v32 and MultiROM TWRP 2.8.6.0 are perfectly running on my device!!!!!!!

Booted a Lollipop 5.1 ROM as secondary, everything fine

Expect a public release very soon... :)
