How to check MultiSystem Installation?

The 1st thing to do after installing MultiSystem is to check the /MultiSystem directory & its contents (it shouldn't be empty!). Then, check usage by running the following commands in Terminal Emulator or ADB shell:

su
bash
MultiSystem

If it retuns "MultiSystem not found" or permission denied, try to use open MultiSystem app to Update Configurations & try again. If this does't fix it, try the following command:

/MultiSystem/bin/MultiSystem

This should work if you've MultiSystem binaries installed in (extracted to) /MultiSystem directory. If so, you can create a symlink in /system/xbin as follows:

mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -sv /MultiSystem/bin/MultiSystem /system/xbin/MultiSystem

Then, test it by running:

MultiSystem

The last thing before using it is to check the boot options: reboot & monitor the GREEN LED indicator for 3 seconds (change in the app) , which give you the following options:

Volume UP = Primary virtual ROM

Volume DOWN = Secondary virtual ROM

HOME KEY = Stock System

Pressing nothing will boot the active system: stock or primary virtual system. Sure, you should have installed one or more virtual ROMs.

Backup & restore or creating/installing a virtual ROM are easy as copy & paste: all img's will be at

/MultiSystem/img/system

To backup a virtual/stock system, you have many options:

Use create function to create from stock system

Use copy function to copy the IMG

Copy & paste with a new name

Use FlashFire (fully supported on virtual/stock ROMs)

...

If you've IMG mounting issues, run the following commands:

mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox ln -sv /proc/self/mounts /system/etc/mtab

If this doesn't help, try mounting from Terminal Emulator or ADB shell after selecting the IMG in MultiSystem app, by running the following command:

MultiSystem mount virtual

Hello,

New Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update for D838-HKG sets is available. But everything time i try to update it gives an error, says, suspect of rooting and Update service is not available for rooted device.

I have unroot my device even after it is giving similer error. Please help to update device.
[LG G Pro 2] bartdotnet:
because you already rooted it once. unrooting with su app. will not going to change that. if you want flash d838 lollipop update via lg offline flash tool 2014. look for a kdz and flash it that will update your phone to lollipop.
[LG G Pro 2] an123:
bartdotnet is right. I had the same problem too, and installed the update thru the LG offline flash tool

the most recent KDZ version is v20a (for my phone D838 HKG), and you can download it from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ (it's about 1.2gb in size)

search for a tutorial on using the flash tool, and you're done!

android version in v20a is 5.0.1, and the battery life is worse than before, so think twice before taking the plunge

Hi everybody,

I need help with my rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition (gt-i9515, running 4.4.2). I'd like to update it to lollipop and I can't find any specific tutorial for the i9515, which for some reasons seems to be different from the basic i9505 version. I'm running the official rom, since there isn't any support for custom roms on the i9515.

Somebody help me please :(

Simple One-Click Installation

I've fixed the installation script by setting the required symlinks (this makes it a very simple one-click installation for future versions), but I'll keep it a bit complicated for everyone to go through the Q&A thread (posts #1-6) to learn more before being able to use it.

On a side Note, I'd recommend to backup your data via TitaniumBackup & only wipe system data before rebooting to a completely different ROM.

Good luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rvgraham:
Just got my Vzw S6 a couple of days ago. Everything I had read about it had me dreading the "you can't have max brightness without setting it on auto" nastiness.

I haven't found this to be the case. If I stand outside under a bright sky, and go into display settings --> Brightness, toggling between auto and not auto has no effect at all, as long as the slider is all the way to the right.

Testing this from the drop-down on any screen doesn't show much, as it dims most of the screen, you have to observe while you're in the settings menu.

Is there some difference in the units you all have?

How to check if you are running a Stock/Virtual System?

There're many ways to check whether you're running a Stock or Virtual system. MultiSystem app should include this simple check at some point. That's important to avoint ruining the Stock system & keep it safe. To make it clear to NOOBZ & anyone who's requesting "another" proof even though I owe hime nothing. Very weird!

Anyway, BusyBox mountpoint applet can print the current block/device mounted to /system mountpoint by running the following command:

busybox mountpoint -n /system

The stock system is mounts the original system partition:

[B][COLOR="Red"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p23[/COLOR][/B]

while the virtual system mounts a loop device associated with a system IMG:

[B][COLOR="Blue"]/dev/block/loop0[/COLOR][/B]

Here're two videos for both stock & virtual systems...

[YOUTUBE]lks1D4eAZ1g[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]o2ryf2Xr1rU[/YOUTUBE]

UPDATE:

Now, you could run the following command to print the current system (stock or virtual) and the system device (physical partition or loop device):

MultiSystem status

Note: The block device number (mmcblk0p23) may vary per device & per variant !

How to repartition microSD card for MultiSystem?

You can use any tool/program for partitioning on Android, Linux, Mac, or Windows. For example, MiniTool Partition Wizard is a good partitioning tool for Windows. So, let's use it for this task. Simply, you need to follow this PDF tutorial (thanks to [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION]). In sum:

Step 1: delete old partitions on SD card

Step 2: create FAT32 PRIMARY partition

Step 3: create EXT4 PRIMARY partition

Then, apply changes (note that the program UI may get changed in newer versions).

How to check microSD card partitions for MultiSystem?

You need to correctly repartition microSD card into two partitions:

exFAT or FAT32 for the 1st partition (your new external storage)

EXT4 for the 2nd partition (your MultiSystem partition)

Use the directions in this post!

You should check your 2nd SD partition in EXT4 format mounted to /MultiSystem:

check that the /MultiSystem directory exists after a reboot

check that the 2nd SD partition (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2) is mounted to /MultiSystem by running the following command in Terminal Emulator or ADB shell:

mount | grep /MultiSystem

The output should be:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /MultiSystem ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] martyh1:
This tool doesn't seem to get a lot of replies or maybe support. But here's my experience with my first recent attempt.

I wanted to try to create and boot images from two different custom ROMs. I have a tmobile note 4. I followed the directions and after a few bumps, got it working (verified with the command "MultiSystem status" in terminal emulator). There's no green LED light at boot. It's a red one. I found somewhere instructions that said to boot a different img, you had to use volume-up plus power, etc, at boot time. I can't find those instructions again. Strange that they aren't included in the main threads.

When I say I got it to work, that only means I successfully booted an image off my SD card that I created from the internal "stock" system (really a Custom ROM). Not sure what that alone does for me. I created another image (after restoring another custom ROM I had). I then restored my other ROM from TWRP backup. I then tried booting into that 2nd image, but it seemed to hang on the startup animation (samsung in this case). Maybe it would have booted given enough time? Don't know. I gave it quite a bit of time. In the process, it affected booting into my other image. Somehow, something was changed. When I booted the first img that I could boot successfully before, that image now came up like it was new, in a way (and it took a very long time booting because it had to go through that 'optimizing apps' at startup). When completely booted, all the apps were there, but the the lock screen image changed to default, the system asked me to set up my lock screen, etc. Booting that 2nd img caused something to change, not sure what. I had to TWRP restore to get back. Funny, even after that TWRP restore, the launcher background image changed.

My initial conclusion is that the ROM you've made an image from needs to support MultiSystem in some way. With my current findings, I haven't found a good use for this yet (since I couldn't boot that 2nd image which was created from a 2nd custom ROM).

Heating - I've had no problems whatsoever. I don't usually play games on it but before I have played games such as gta San Andreas and I gotta admit it did get a little bit hot but nothing I was worried about.

Battery - the most I got out of it is around 5 maximum 6h of screen on time. However I've seen people with 8/9h of screen on time which is just godly .. you have to play with it and find what suits you best. I usually charge my phone every two days :)

Google Now won't show anything other than the weather card.

I've tried disabling, re-enabling Google Now, making sure I have all card notifications set to "On" or "Yes" and I've tried rebooting. But for some reason my Google Now will only show me the weather card. If I hit "More" below that card it just says "Not Available".

Before, I was able to get many different types of cards in that feed. Now nothing will show. Anyone else run into this?

EDIT: Fixed! If you run into this issue, do the following...

- Open the Google app

- Click the three horizontal lines that are just to the right of the "Google" logo in the Google search bar

- Click "Settings"

- Click "Now cards"

- Click "Delete card preferences?"

- Click "Delete" (this will delete all Now Card preferences and turn Google Now off)

- Click the box to turn Google Now back on

- Go through the initial Google Now setup

- Bam! All Google Now cards are back to showing.

I'm assuming my issue stemmed from the fact that when Google Now launched, I said "No" to most of the cards it was trying to show me, in an effort to keep it minimal and not full of content I didn't care about. Since then, Google Now has been refined quite a bit and is much better. I never went back to reset all my preferences so I was still getting essentially no cards. Resetting everything solved that.
