Hi sailors out there :)

When I'm going to read through the available sailfish threads the question about how to set up multirom & sailfish have been asked many times. So I thought I'm writing this little guide. I describe the procedure along the nexus 4 mako. But it have to be very similar on other devices like nexus 5 for example. The important parts that differs from mako are the kernel and modem image you've to use. I will describe the easiest way in my opinion. Experienced users have more capabilities to reach the goal. I will not describe how to install twrp recovery and unlock bootloader. Both are prequesites. Please use xda search or google to get this. But this little guide want's to be simple as possible. So let's begin :).

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

Beginning:

First we have to detect you're actual setup and where you want to go. Because nexus 4 is up to date I think the most common goal is to run android 4.4 as primary and sailfish os as secondary. Atm I have only paranoidandroid 4.4 on my device and will show you how to get everything working.

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

Requirements / Download following parts:

kernel aosp: http://d-h.st/A99

kernel cm: http://d-h.st/CCn

aosp = android open source rom. Ask in you're rom thread what version you're on with the rom

cm = cyanogen mod rom. Ask in you're rom thread what version you're on with the rom

Modem for nexus4 in version 0.84: http://d-h.st/cIJ

or

through an app in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bpear.makomodem&hl=de

sailfishOS ea4: http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/sailfishos-mako-release-1.0.8.19-EA4.zip

cm 10.1.3: http://get.cm/get/aWH

Multirom manager in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr&hl=de

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

Before we're going on check up the following

1. All zip's you've downloaded have to be transferred on the device

2. Apps from play store are installed

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

Installation process

Reboot in twrp recovery

Flash the new kernel

Flash the modem 0.84 in twrp. Or via the modem flasher from playstore. It's you're decision.

Boot back into android

Proof the functionality in android withe the new modem and kernel. Wlan working? Bluetooth? NFC?

Open mutlirom manager. Follow the installation steps.

After some time you'll be back in android. You have now the right modem, kernel and and a twrp multirom version on you're device

After this. Please reboot back into twrp recovery

There select the advanced button.

Then the multirom button

Select add rom and mark up the entry sailfish os

Press next.

Now you can choose two zip files to flash

zip1: Select the cm10.1.3 zip file

zip2: Select the sailfish EA4 zip file

Installation process is beginning.

After this select reboot

You automatically went into multirom where you can cancel the automatic boot process for the primary rom. Then you can select which rom you want to start.
