I don't see how you can avoid flashing stock rom again.

Maybe you can try an EFS backup and restore following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/modem-nexus-5-flashable-modems-efs-t2514095

I had a similar situation when i restored a Lollipop backup from a secondary ROM in Stock KitKat with Xposed,

but strangely it worked fine (even the data partition).

how does MultiROM allocate/manage internal memory?

Hi,

Had a question about how/if MultiROM allocates internal memory to various roms installed.

So for instance, on the Nexus 5 that has only 32GB of memory and no SD slot, this could be a dire situation.

1) Can any memory be shared among ROMs? For example, if I install music library, can all roms

access the same library?

2) Are there any memory partitions created, and if so, how can I resize them.

Perhaps resize them after the ROM installs.

Thanks for a few pointers,

W.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hodragon:
Let's read carefully the OP:

1.What do the ROMs share?

All ROMs are separate, except /sdcard, which is shared between all Android ROMs.

2.How many ROMs can I have?/Where are the ROMs stored?

You can have as many ROMs as you can fit in your /sdcard. All the ROMs are stored in /sdcard/multirom/roms

3.Can I have different versions of Android working alongside

Yes. As long as you select "Don't share kernel" when installing the secondary ROM, the systems are separated.

Having that in mind, in Nexus 5 you have a big happy 32GB internal memory partition which emulates SD in path

/storage/emulated/0/. Practically that means that ROMS share data like music, photos but not apps and kernel.

No memory partions are created or resized.

Hope that helps.

MultiROM and root

When installing multiple ROMs on your phone, how is root affected?

Can the installation of a ROM root or unroot your device? Or, do all installed

ROMs have to be rooted individually? Is root an attribute of phone

(would related to all ROMs), or an attribute of the ROM (would then

only affect a single ROM)

If so, if the rooting process doesn't work or goes south for one ROM

could that be impacting other ROMs in any way.

Thanks,

mulitrom 1.183 & twrp 2.8.6 - ubuntu does not boot on Nexus 5

I just deleted functioning Ubunutu devel which was installed a few days ago with multirom, I deleted it so I could try 14.09 v17.

Before install of 14.09 I updated to multirom 1.183 with twrp 2.8.6 on Nexus 5 running stock 5.1 kernel with SuperSU v2.46

Multirom runs through install of ubuntu touch without apparent hitch but bootloader cannot boot into ubuntu - just throws me back into bootloader. I can boot into internal 5.1 rom fine. Reinstalled multirom, twrp & kernel patch. Same issues with Ubuntu devel, devel-proposed, 14.09 v 17, and 14.09-proposed v220.

I would like to roll multirom compatible twrp back to previous version as I suspect the problem is with 2.8.6 but I cannot find download link

Any advice would be welcome. In the meantime I will patiently for a fix from somewhere. Thank you

SOLVED

Yes the problem was twrp 2.8.6. Multirom is such an elegant tool - of course it had downloaded the previous twrp image to my downloads folder so I could flash that (TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20150328.img) with flashify and then run multiboot again to install ubuntu (making sure I did not upgrade twrp to 2.8.1 - the update dated 2015-4-6. It works yay! So advice here on Nexus 5 avoid twrp 2.8.6 - I believe the new 2.8.6.1 includes a fix

So after installing multirom on my nexus 5 with the multirom app it worked fine. but after I tried to flash certain roms they not only would not flash but the whole system went screwy, but it was specifically the recovery portion.

Some of the issues where that it would not load the themes for a vertical displays so it defaulted to being in a horizontal configuration, and no roms would flash to the regular system and recoveries would not work.

I've a rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4 with xposed, xgravity, and xprivacy. I've hesitated moving to lollipop because I'm happy with kitkat but now I would like to try it using multiboot. So I have a few questions:

1. How much additional free space do I need for multirom + lollipop? Nexus 5 does not have an sd. Is 7gb of free space enough?

2. If not, can multirom install lollipop on a flash drive connected using stickmount.

3. Will lollipop booted via multirom "see" the apps currently installed in kitkat (like an update would) or will I need to reinstall them into lollipop? Can tibu app backups made in kitkat restore apps correctly to lollipop?

4. Exact steps to proceed.

multirom - no access to internal

Hi guys,

i tried to flash through MultiROM the preview 3 of Android M. At the end of the procedure TWRP asked me if I wanted to install super su and I did not (not even understanding why), when i reboot the system the Preview does not work with a number of errors , but the tragedy is that the internal is off, you can select it but not start at all, and always brings me back to recovery. I tried again a boot, I also said to install super su but without any effect . Fortunately I have a catalyst for emergency on MultiROM . I also deleted the Preview sick but nothing . I reinstalled the Preview 3 and it was fine , but internal is still not working, only a few seconds and returns to the recovery .

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

I have been tring MultiROM lately.I have installed multiROM along with the kexec-hardboot-patch kernel.

I have currently installed CM12.1 latest nightly dual-booted with Ubuntu Touch.I now wish to triple boot it by adding android M preview 3 using flashable zip.

I tried to flash(from Add ROM Section of MultiROM in TWRP) the StephanMc flashable zip

(Link: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299)

but it somehow deleted/removed my CM12.1 and got me into a bootloop(showing android M startup LOGO).I presume this problem was caused due the stock kernel that got installed with Android Mpreview3 because it doesn't support root.

I had to reflash the lastest CM12.1 Nightly , kexec-hardboot-patch-hammerhead kernel and gapps to get my system ready again(working dual boot using MultiROM).

My question is that: Is this thing even possible ??Because android has made many changes to the kernel for the 6.0 marshmallow update?so may we cannot use/share the lollipop kernel for booting with it using MultiROM????

My contract is about to end so I'm in the market for a new phone. I currently own a iPhone 5S which I have experienced little to no problems with and is as buttery smooth and lag free as it was the day I got it. However before my iPhone 5S I had the LTE Galaxy S3 which was an absolute nightmare. Don't get me wrong I loved android and prefer t a lot more over iOS but very quickly the GS3 started to lag and I had a lot of problems with it slowing down, crashing ect and I definitely would not like another experience like that. I'm considering the OPO because of Cyanogen mod which is pretty close to stock so I'm assuming there wont be any bloatware or anything that could possibly slow my phone down in the future? Is this true? I was also considering the LG G3 but the skin over the top is really putting me off and I'm afraid of running into the same problems I had with the GS3 a few months down the line.

TL;DR How lag free and reliable is the OPO in comparison to other phones in the market?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
There is a massive difference between the 2 devices especially when the RAM comes into it with the S3 having 512 or 1GB (depending on which one you have) and the OPO having 3GB and of course the processor is a hell of alot better.

You'll have no issue with lag with the OPO i personally have had no lag issues if I did I couldn't use the phone either (espeically redraws I can't stand those, ARGH!!) not to mention no touchwiz which is a big bonus.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronii1123:
The Galaxy S3 here in the US actually had 2gb of ram with the dual core Snapdragon processor (Forget which one) and every other variant varied between 1gb for the Exynos version and 2gbs for the Snapdragon version.

But, the galaxy phones did not really get better until later. I blame the Touchwiz interface being incredibly taxing on ram and CPU. Like Roxas said though, there is 3gbs of ram in the OnePlus One and a phenomenal CPU in it too so this things flies! The Snapdragon 801 is a monster. CM11S is nice, and when you get in to tweaking it gets better! Just don't do anything you're not familiar with if you want a reliable experience, like any phone.
