Hey guys I'm currently on MultiROM, gottta few questions for whoever uses this;

-how do u flash zip files for the 2 different roms? Seeing as how there's no modded twrp here, unlike multirom? For example if i wanted to flash xposed or gapps on my secondary AOSP rom, but not touch my primary stock rom?

-any significant battery hits? Seeing as how this is an app, does it run in the background and hurt ur battery? For me, it takes a week for multirom to settle down and battery to reach optimum (currently 4.5h SoT max)

-is it any faster to switch roms? Not really a big deal but still...

-is there support for 3 roms?

I'm interested in dualboot mostly bcos it doesn't require a custom kernel, which multirom does and may sometimes cause problems...

Any help is much appreciated. Tnx in advance.
[G3 Themes and Apps] lukas77:
Mate, most of your questions are aready explained in OP. About battery, it is rom related, dual boot don't affect battery usage because you only need to start the app to switch the rom.
[G3 Themes and Apps] MaxMusaab:
Hmm i did read the OP haha but i didnt understand the first time, now i do. Thanks! What would u say is the advantage of this over multirom..? As i said I'm currently on MultiROM, is it worth changing? Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if there's any way to set primary ROM without wiping any data, then set secondary ROM with data from a nandroid backup? Or can you just go into recovery and restore data from a backup for second ROM once both are installed? I don't want to clean install either ROM, if at all possible.
[G3 Themes and Apps] spacekratos:
Hi,

Is there a way to resize cache partition rather than full wipe?

My system partition is full and some roms + gapps doesn´t fit in cache partition.

How about creating new partition from storage?

Thanks!
[G3 Themes and Apps] dedebekri:
I was at the same situation but noticed that I could also use the data partition as well.

Which means it will eat up from your internal storage space.
[G3 Themes and Apps] spacekratos:
Ok, I found the "data slot" option!

Thanks!

Im running cloudy 2.2 LP as primary rom but cant get working a KK rom as secundary... Tried many different roms... ( cloudy 2.1, liquidsmooth kk...) it stucks in boot animation... Any help ?

Boy this thread sure got quiet

Did you set the kernel?
[G3 Themes and Apps] marpipro:
Hi guys,

i have second rom in data slot. wiping primary rom data partition also delete second rom folder? snapshot utility 4 don't mentions data slot option to skip /data/multiboot/....?

thanks
[G3 Themes and Apps] ideal_josh:
Im sure u have solved this by now, but if anyone else got this problem, just Flash the kernel of the Primary Rom... and ur good to go
[G3 Themes and Apps] nikomedes:
Which is the data slot option? I have the same problem. I want to install Cloudy2.3 as second rom. cache and system size are not enough to install.

Edit: I found data slot option at most recent release of the app. But still I can't install, it it says something like "Aroma installer may only work under recovery..."

Anyone to help?

Hi, want to use Stock Lollipop Rom as primary and cm 12.1 as secondary on my D855. I already installed the app but first I want to know what "app sharing" is for?
[G3 Themes and Apps] jurington:
It's so you can share your apps and app data between the different roms you're using. Be sure to make a nandroid before trying the app sharing, I've tried it a few times but it wipes out most of my apps and have to restore a backup.

I also tried but after trying to update my ramdisk I've had to restore a backup because it either starts a fastboot loop or puts me at a kernel crash screen
[G3 Themes and Apps] nikomedes:
Is there any way to instal Cloudy2.3?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Mike-12345:
Thanks a lot :)

I think I wait for a update which fixes this, because app sharing will make it way easier...

[G3 Themes and Apps] sireebob:
Oh man, I LOVE this thing. It's a bit of a hassle needing to patch the zip files, but it works so well! Trying out other ROMs is so much nicer this way. The only problem I've had is that the Stock ROM seems to clear out the cache for the other ROMs every time I boot to it, which makes switching back take a very long time. If I find a way around this, I will post... but I mostly avoid the Stock ROM anyway.

I'm currently multibooting 23C (stock Lollipop), BlissPop 6/02 (in /system/multiboot), and Validus 6/08 (in /data/multiboot). Validus is my main ROM at the moment and works great like this.

As others have noted, App Sharing is not fully working. I just tried it for the first time, enabling it for Individual Apps in Validus. None of the selected apps' existing data was maintained after the required reboot, so I restored their data using TitaniumBackup.

Some of the apps I selected for sharing disappeared completely and needed to be reinstalled, which may have been related to the "Use shared APK" option, which I don't recommend using; it is unreliable and breaks apps that come with support libraries (like KeePass2Android, Chrome, MX Player, Microsoft Remote Desktop, or many others). Affected apps either crash or produce their own error on startup. Restoring the app from a backup (or reinstalling) will fix it but only until the next reboot, so just turn "Use shared APK" off for affected apps, then reboot and restore the app from a backup.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Edde3d:
How did you go about doing this. You are running 3 roms correct? I'm pretty familiar with this app but have only installed on system and wasn't exactly sure about the other choices or if it would screw something up.

Sent from my VS985
[G3 Themes and Apps] sireebob:
When you patch a zip, instead of Primary ROM Upgrade or Secondary, choose Data slot, and enter any identifying text, like "validus" or "cyanide". It will install the /system and /data both into /data/multiboot/data-slot-[id] (where "[id]" is your chosen id).

It's really cool... I love this app. No performance impact at all that I have seen, and don't know why there would be.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Quote100:
If only app sharing worked right?
[G3 Themes and Apps] sireebob:
Well... App sharing sooorta works. You just can't rely on being able to share the APK, and you need to restore the data using a backup program (or start over with the app) after sharing.

Edit: I have only tried individual app sharing. Sharing all data sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
[G3 Themes and Apps] nikomedes:
Aynone who can manage to install Cloudy2.3 succesfully?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Edde3d:
Awesome thanks for the info. I'm gonna have to try that. Was thinking about Jasmine rom but I know you need to do a factory reset in the rom after installation. That just sounds like it would mess everything up. Maybe stick with aosp rom instead.

I wonder if there is a size limit you can fit. I know stock roms are well over a GB of download. Which I believe you can't fit 2 stock roms on /system. I like stock roms better so I may have to explore this slot 1 option more. I did just flash miui as my secondary and paranoid android on slot 1. This app is the bombdiggity lol.

Hi!

I have tried this app and it works very well in my d855 device, with stock rom as primary and aospa-L as secondary.

However i have a problem.

It seems that adaway is not able to write the hosts file in /system/etc/ in both roms.

Is there a solution?

I don't understand "3. Go to tab "Patch zip" and choose "lgg3 (LG G3)" and tap "Tap to choose a file to patch",

leave all option as is

and hit "Tap to begin patching". Do the same with cm12 and gapps. Once patching complete you'll get a message "Patched succesfully".

So I am currently on Cloudy 2.3, want to use Blisspop (CM based) as secondary system. What should I do at step 3: patch Blisspop and Gapps zip? Nothing more?
[G3 Themes and Apps] marikamonteleone:
Now we are sharing apk date? or not yet?

Inviato dal mio LG-D855 utilizzando Tapatalk
[G3 Themes and Apps] Edde3d:
Yes just patch blisspop and the gapps then flash them. The option for secondary will show when you start flashing. The cm12 is just reference.

[G3 Themes and Apps] injectx:
So yesterday I installed the patched Blisspop at TWRP (didn't wipe anything, I think that is okay?) but it didn't start any Aroma installer so no choice.. when it was ready I rebooted and it looked like it installed Blisspop over Cloudy (which then gave a lot of errors). What did I do wrong?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Edde3d:
You don't have to wipe anything. Are you sure you selected the patched.zip to flash? It always goes to that screen for me unless it's not a patched.zip.... Also be sure the rom is for your phone variant.

Sent from my modded out VS985
[G3 Themes and Apps] injectx:
Hmm, I patched the latest Blisspop again, went to TWRP, hit install, selected the Blisspop zip with "-primary" added to the filename and it just installs.. no Aroma installer whatsoever.

(view attachements)
[G3 Themes and Apps] whoppe862005:
because you are patching it as primary so your overwriting your primary rom. Patch it again but choose secondary, multislot, or data. You can also choose to use the in app flashing and then just Reboot. Been using the in app flashing for awhile without issues.
[G3 Themes and Apps] injectx:
So stupid... now it works! Thanks :D

Quick question; can you also flash gapps in the app? (I guess not gapps packages with Aroma installer).
[G3 Themes and Apps] Edde3d:
If it's a stock Rom gapps are built in. Most aosp roms require gapps to be flashed. So do the gapps the same way and be sure to flash them to secondary.

Sent from my modded out VS985
[G3 Themes and Apps] whoppe862005:
You can flash gapps, kernels, zips and everything else just make sure to patch them all and flash everything at once. Once you flash a rom to a specific slot you won't be able to do anything more with it so you have to flash everything you want. For me that normally consists of rom, gapps, kernel, supersu, permissive zip, and 3 zips for ViPER4Android. Never have any issues when doing it like this.
[G3 Themes and Apps] injectx:
Thanks! Is it bad if I don't have much space left on "/system"? I've debloated a lot from Cloudy's system folder and together with Blisspop I now have around 200MB of free space. I mean is the system going to slow down if there is less space available?

When you cook your ROM, you need to use NBMerge.exe with -emu to make an emulator image, using tadzio's tool.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullshyt:
Hi,

this is my first thread in here, so please forgive faults if i made.

Question I:

Is it right, that the Camera will be much worse than the original rom's camera, if i unlock the bootloader?

Question II:

Is there a custom rom (android 4.4+) that will work good (camera, wlan etc)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
Yes, camera is poor on CM builds and if you unlock bootloader, you loose some low light quality.

Apparently there is a way round it.

You want any ROM that is based on stock and lets you keep a locked bootloader

DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM 5.0

RockZ1k_V-4.1.1 with RocKz1kkernel

Privacy Guard][Leds][UB LB] D5503_14.4.A.0.108

And my favourite KitSlim_AMG [Evo 9][02/08/2014]

Some people prefer the .108 firmware because it is better with battery, other people want all the whistles and bells of .157

Try for yourself and decide.
[SuperSU] FishOutOfWater:
I'm using LG G3 D858HK, Dual Sim., Android 5.0.1 (i updated it after i rooted it). I rooted it through my computer, hence it's under a system application and cannot be uninstalled through the play store. After i updated it, many of my apps (that requires rooting) couldn't be used. Error message was no SuperSu binary installed. So i decided to unroot my phone, and i couldn't even open the SuperSu app! It says, "There is no SuperSu Binary installed and Supersu couldn't install it, that's the problem! If you updated to 5.0.1, please consult the relevant forums!". I couldn't get into recovery mode as well, i used third-party apps, and they requested for root access. I tried to reboot it into recovery mode by using the buttons and it ended up factory resetting my phone.

Any suggestions?

Oh yes, and i couldn't find the stock firmware for my model as well, hence i couldn't downgrade it, any tips?

I think E5 is better than S3 , U have made some mistakes in ur comparison I will post the exact as I had the S3 Neo and now I have E5 :

E5 : S3 Neo

Snapdragon 410 1.2 Ghz : Snap Dragon 400 1.4 Ghz ( 1.2 in some regions )

5.0 inches : 4.8 Inches

Adreno 306 : Adreno 305

Front Cam : 5.0 MP( Many Features ) : 1.9 MP

Rear : Same Both ( E5 more effects )

NFC : NFC

Stereo Radio : Stereo Radio

I don't know much about sensors but I know s3 neo has more sensors than E5 ( Light , gyro , compass ,etc ... )

Battery :2400 vs 2100

4.4.4 vs 4.4.2

Ultra power Saving : No UPS

WILL GET 5.0 : Not SURE !?!

E5 has MUCH BETTER METAL DESIGN THAN THE S3 NEO : Very thin : 7.3 m , Metal frame : JUST DAMN GOOD !! :victory::victory:

I just suggest E$ :good::good::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_infinity:
ofcoarse performance of e5 is better due to new hardware and new software

hey first of all software mobile samsung galaxy e5 is better because it has the latest touchwiz interface mobile s3 neo has old and if it has lots of other features which are very useful

camera of s5 is better

if you want to use dual sim and add a microsd card then you should go for a thing you s3 neo because in e5 1 slot is for sim card and in the other one you can either add a sim card or micro sd card

difference is that s3 neo has notification led while e5 does not have a notification led

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekz13:
Ok so I'm having a brainfart here...

flashing a rom, you wipe, it clears out the storage, userdata, etc (all your personal stuff) everytime I do this, I plug my n5 in, open up win explorer and then start copying my folders off (takes soooo long to do this) then flash the rom...

boot up (start everything, wifi, accounts, etc..)

then copy all my stuff back (takes another good chunk of time, usually cause i can't just grab it all and wait the time, I have to move smaller chunks of files, documents, etc)

so my question is how do you all manage your internal storage?? It has become so painful to keep moving my data on/off/on my phone (used to just pull the sd card) I have dropbox sync/upload my pics, but everything else sits on the phone.. am i missing something..

is there a better way to move/copy my personal stuff quicker/easier so it doesn't get lost, but isn't so time consuming ??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
So you tell me you wipe userdata/internal storage everytime you flash a new rom? You only have to wipe select data, cache, dalvik and system in TWRP. Not internal storage that's just a waste of your time

custom roms... yes, most want full wipes, then I had the storage issue (showing 16 vs 32) so wiped again...

You are wrong. There is a system, a data and a cache partition. The sdcard/internal storage is in /data/media so inside the data partition. But TWRP and probably other recoveries except stock have an option to wipe data without /data/media
