Press the power button when you see the counter, then the touch screen will work and will let you click the operating system you wish to start.

I noticed this same problem that Touch Screen on MultiROM wouldn't work if the primary ROM happens to be a touchwiz, instead of trying to click "cancel" to stop the count down timer which was not responsive, I simply pressed the power button briefly and that stopped the count down timer and then allowed me to select another ROM from the list on my Sprint SPH-L720 phone.

However, if the primary ROM happens to be AOSP, the touch screen responds right off the bat without having to press that initial power button to get it off the count down timer and then make it work.

Right now dont have MultiROM installed and just have the TW TriForce Rom installed because I need a ROM that allows me to update my PRL something AOSP can't do, but I am unable to find any kernel kexec hard boot patched TouchWiz kernel for my phone. So, I am waiting for a solution that perhaps would get me running MultiROM with TW as my primary rom again.

I can't load the boot menu for choosing ROM.

I flashed the recovery and added a 4.4 ROM to internal storage, and a 5.1.1 to external SD.

I flashed the recommended kernel:

Kernel-Alucard-V1.3ba-[20-17]-[18-05]-NEWCM12.1-EUR-LP5.1-SGIV-PWR-CORE.zip

I tried the keypress and the time based, the boot sector object I tried also multiple times but didn't work.

Anyone suggestions?

Try another ROM. I think that you are trying to boot into a rom as secondary from a ROM that wont play well with MultiROM.

In reference to my issue I am having with my SPH-L720, I tried booting into two of the TouchWiz ROM's that are currently available to my sprint device (the TriForce and the Negalite) as secondaries, both of them boot looped back into recovery, but if I try to boot to any of the AOSP roms that I have tried (currently the CM12.1 based on 5.1) that booted just fine when I had an AOSP rom installed as primary

So, try installing any AOSP rom as secondary and try booting into it, if that fails then try specifically CM12.1 Optimized Rom (cm-12.1-20150413-OPTIMIZED-jflte.zip is the one I tried that works and boots as secondary with no problem)

If so I'm pretty sure you're on F2FS instead of ext4 for internal ROM... Revert your partitions back to ext4 and flash MultiROM again

Mate read the post #4 of this thread, you shouldn't flash TouchWiz-based ROMs as secondary

Please revert back to ext4, MultiROM doesn't support F2FS...

I'll try to find a way to add F2FS compatibility

On the first page of Multiron you have to click on :

Internal memory

After that you will have the choice of :

Internal memory or /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 = that is the extSdcard for me

After that when you select "Add Rom", you will need to select /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 again.

Hope this help ! it's work for me.

Note : I had to change the update-script in the secondary Rom, because the Rom did not recognize my phone. I add JFLTECAN in the script.

Pb with Hulk Kernel

Hi all,

I've tried to prepare my S4 to multirom. As it is already on samsung stock lollipop 5.0.1 rom, I've installed Hulk kernel from post #3. But I often have warning notifications telling me that non authorized actions have been detected and asking me to reboot to cancel unauthorized modifications. Rebooting or not doesn't change anything. What should I do to avoid that ?

And I find this kernel has not so good results with Antutubenchmark (at most about 23000 instead of 30000 with the stock kernel) : do you notice the same results ? Will it be better with Imperium or AEL kernels ?

Thank's in advance for your answer.

Wihch size for an ext4 mircoSD partition ?

Hi AntaresOne,

I've tried to install your cm12.1 opt as a secondary rom on my sdcard, ext4 partition of 6Gb. I've flashed GApps you linked in your post (in fact link seems now dead but I already hav downloaded it sooner). But it seems already full, I can't install GMail.

Hi AntaresOne,

In fact I'm not sure to have installed my secondary rom in the microsd ext4 partition. I've choosen the ext4 partition from recovery, but my rom is finally installed in mmcblkp2. mmcpblk1 is shown as vfat, not ext4 although I've created an ext4 partition with MiniTool as a primary partition with my PC. Could vfat be my ext4 microsd partition ?

EDIT : in fact it seems mmcblk1p1 (shown as vfat in the recovery) is my fat32 partition and mmcblk1p2 is my ext4 partition. SO my pb is still present : I don't understand why, altought my ext4 is 8Gb, my phone tells me there's not enough place to install apps. Does anybody have an idea about that ?

Can anyone help me with the following problem.

No more access to primary rom + touch screen pb in multirom

Hi,

I've some problems using Multirom :

- my phone is an S4, Lollipop 5.0.1 from samsung stock firmware

- I can install the multirom and patched TWRP and patched kernels from post #3

- then when I boot my phone I can access to the multirom boot options. But the touch screen doesn't work, even when pressing the power button while counter goes down, which seems to be a workaround according to some posts int the thread

- I've tried two different kernels (AEL and Imperium) and meet the same pb : when I install cm 12.1 optimized from JCDTeam as a secondary rom (either with success or with error), I totally loose acces to my primary rom (multirom is launched at start, automatically boots on the primary rom, but nothing happens and after somtime reboots , and loop).

- I only can reboot in recovery, still present, and restore a backup.

Reading in this forum I can't see what is wrong, I think I correctly follow the guide : any help would be appreciated !

Many thank's.

These are the type firmwares TouchWizz?! At least the GoldenEYE and Omega.

What phone have you? useless question

Where did you try to install them?

On the JFLTEXX by example, except if you remove several apps, you can't install them like secondary or third rom, maybe this is the cause. I thought at another MultiROM style, You only have to look the size that you have on the different supports.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xchatter:
Thank you for the reply.

I use i9505 .

Yes, I try to install them as secondary roms(tried internal memory and also the sd memory).

I didn't know I can't install them as secondary roms.

So is this correct that i assume that i can only install CM/AOSP based roms as secondary ? Touchwiz can be only primary ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Sorry :crying:, I perhaps said a mistake, I should think at another MultiROM style when I said that. On the internal SD, maybe you can't due to its content, but on the external, except if you have a lot of thing, you should be able.

Guys, I'm looking about MIUI boot issues as secondary ROM, and:

- You don't need a secondary partition in your MicroSD card to install ROMs, you must just install them on the main partition

- Strongly unsuggested to install TouchWiz-based ROMs as secondary and most of the time they'll never boot, install them only as primary

- We found a little issue in the MultiROM support for Optimized CM12.1, that's why you have an error trying to install it as secondary. It's being fixed in the new release that I'll make Saturday, then today. Optimized series ROMs and our AOSP have different installation method than other ROMs, so they need a specific MultiROM support

Thanks for understanding. :)
