FAQ and other notes

About security​

In order to make multi-booting possible, MultiROM has to sacrifice some security measures. Firstly, on secondary Android ROMs, /system is not mounted read-only. While there are other things preventing malicious software from messing with /system, this might potentialy make it easier for such software to attack that system.​

What do the ROMs share?​

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

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 or on an USB drive. This folder is unaccessible in Android, to prevent mediascanner from scanning it. You can either in recovery, or obtain root and go to /data/media/0/multirom/roms.​

Where can I find files from other ROMs?​

http://xdaforums.com/mi-4i/general/index-xiaomi-mi4i-roms-kernels-toolkits-t3187438​

Can I have different versions of Android working alongside? How to use Lollipop and Marshmallow at the same time?​

Yes. The systems are separated.​

The menu with all the ROMs won't show up during boot, how to fix it?​

Either re-flash the MultiROM zip or go to recovery, Advanced -> MultiROM -> Inject curr. boot sector

The reason for this is that something rewrote your boot.img, which happens for example when you flash a kernel. MultiROM's boot menu is part of the boot image, so it has to be added into it again.​

The boot animation shows after a few seconds on primary ROMs, why?​

Because the framebuffer gets blanked for a few seconds after it gets closed by MultiROM.​

Can I use MultiROM without root?​

Yes, if you don't use MultiROM Manager app but flash everything manually​

Will I get OTAs when I have MultiROM installed? Do I lose secondary ROMs after an OTA?​

Probably not, you will have to install them manually and you'll have to reinstall MultiROM

No, you won't lose secondary ROMs​

My secondary ROM doesn't boot, what should I do?​

Probably you forgot to inject current boot sector once, MultiROM didn't run, so /data SELinux context is set to secondary ROMs that are in /data/media so secondary /system has /data contexts.

Go into recovery Advanced > MultiROM > List ROMs > Choose the non booting ROM > Run restorecon

This will fix SELinux contexts and the ROM will boot again​

[MENTION=7065082]jai25993[/MENTION]: Please, don't spam the thread, your question have no any relation with this thread, you should ask this in Xiaomi MI 4i Q&A section.

I am a person who always prefered multi boot on computer, and who like to play with OS's. At this moment, I have four GNU/Linux distros, one Windows and one Android x86 installed on my laptop hdd, and can't belive that finaly can try similar things on my phone.

Thanks to dev(s), and God bless you :)

EDIT:

I installed MultiROM Manager app, and app said "ferrari is not suported":

Is it safe to try manually, is somebody try allready?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] crayonyes:

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] stiw47:
I didn't try first uploaded (wrong) recovery image, but I think that new one, aka second uploaded, is not good. I was try to flash several times, either via Flashify, Rashr or fastboot, I downloaded again, and flash again via all above tools, everytime flash is succesful, and every time i got only black MI splash screen, when I try to boot to recovery (no recovery screen). If I execute "adb devices" in that moment, I got recognized device with number (List of devices attached *some number* recovery), and yes, it says is in recovery, but no recovery screen on phone.

Did you try your method? Is it working with you?

I am on Ressurection Remix if that is meather (I think no), and using TWRP Mi4i by magdag.

P.S. Can you be more specific in which order we should install a files? I think:

1. MultiROM .zip

2. Modified recovery

3. Sensei kernel

4. Second ROM

Am I wrong?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] haikalizz:
You're right on the order. About the recovery, both versions didn't have UI... I'm guessing some ui scripts didn't compiled... Need to check.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] stiw47:
So what now? Can we use this recovery without ui on some way via adb/terminal (or some other way, I don't know), or we should waiting for ui fix?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] haikalizz:
Don't know how to use it without the ui though, no harm trying. I've pm'ed the multirom dev for any info on this...
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] stiw47:
Is it whole this method usable at this moment. How? (without gui in recovery)?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] haikalizz:
I may have found an error in the TWRP compiled for multirom... Can't get a logcat to actually ensure it but compiling TWRP from omnirom works just it doesn't have the multirom features

I was using Sunrise. Really enjoyed the look / feel of it, and liked the fluid feel between the web UI and the Android App.

Well, Microsoft owns Sunrise, and plans to meld it into Outlook, and discontinue support for Sunrise.

Presently I am sitting on the default Google Calendar. Its good, but wanted to see what others use and why.

So, what do you use for your calendar and why?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancress:
Hi there, dumb question. The girlfriend (Sony Xperia Z3, full stock) cought something. She's getting popup ads all over the place. Small ones, fullscreen ones... but it's only within Chrome. On the desktop I'd say it's some evil addon and it looks exactly like that. But Chrome for Android doesn't do addons. It must come from some rogue app.

I can't find anything for the life of me. The phone has never been rooted so it can't be much. However, her boy sometimes does what kids do and that is download everything that looks like a game. He just does that from the Play Store and usually she kills it immediately.

I let three different killers have a look (Avast, Bitdefender and Kaspersky) and none can find anything.

There is no suspicious app to be seen anywhere.

Yet the ads keep popping up.

Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VilleI:
The problem is only within chrome? No popups when using other apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancress:
^ Indeed. It kinda looks like lots of adware related stuff you'd find when googling the problem. But none of the solutions have worked so far.

If it wasn't so annoying and pissed off the GF so much, I'd actually say this is 'cool' in a twisted way. I even checked if it's the new kind of malware that can root Androids but nope, unrooted still.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VilleI:
Haha: D optimistic attitude. Have you tried does the problem go away if you uninstall and reinstall chrome? Not the most elaborate solution but maybe the simplest one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justgene53:
If you can't fix it, and are desperate to fix it, you should

1. Root and download ad away

2. Uninstall completely and use another browser (Idk if this needs root considering I don't know if chrome is a system app or not)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancress:
Well, the simplest solution did it. Delete Chrome's cache, delete Chrome's data, done.

Of course now I'm intrigued HTF something that intrusive is even possible via the browser alone.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antnyh:
I don't normally do a lot of videos from my phone due to the poor quality, but given that the 6P records in 4K I wanted to try it. I recorded my son's Christmas Musical. Once home I tried playing back via wifi to my TV. I got audio and nothing more. So I thought it was just a connection problem. I then tried on my computer. Again nothing but audio. Is there something simple and silly that I am missing here?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murphyjasonc:
I haven't tried recording in 4k on the 6p but I did on my lgg4. I could play the videos back on my phone fine but not on my TV or PC. I thought it was a software problem but when I was able to stream to a TV with a 4k screen it played fine. I didn't test enough to say definitively but Ive only been able to get 4k video to play on 4k capable screens.

Hi everybody!

I've been a 'universal' guy, but due to malfunctioning RAM module of it, I'll be changing it with prophet(I'm actually saving for the Fujitsu U1010 UMPC ;) )

To start right away with WM6 on Prophet, I downloaded the EVOv7(thats the latest one..right?) because I do NOT want the touch's today plugin. So, is everything working in the ROM?(eg:wifi, camera, RDM, ir, BT, speed)

Thanks in advance. Just don't want to waste much time in trying out the various ROMs avaliable and want to quickly replace it with my universal for my business. So, not much testing ;)

PS: all i want is a clean ROM with as little junk apps ;) +no touch today screen stuff. Touch's dialer is ok, but, nothing more
[Samsung Gear S2] rgburress:
Hi Everyone,

I just received an update to my Samsung Gear App on my Note 5 this morning.

Does anyone have any idea what new features that update might have for the Gear S2?

Thanks

Updated: Not sure if I actually received a new update or not. It looks like my app version says that it is still the one that was released in November on the play store. But my app definitely prompted and did an update this morning. Anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Gear S2] yessirrom:
I got it as well, but see no differences.
[Samsung Gear S2] hynar:
Not the "Samsung Gear" app, only the "Gear Plugin", and the "Samsung Accessory Service" applications are updated today (in my case, on HTC One M9 - Hungary).

Nothing noticeable changes, the changelog say "Fix socket issue" on Accessory Service, and "Support M OS" on Gear Plugin...
[Samsung Gear S2] rgburress:
Ah ok, thanks for the information, I was hoping for some good stuff haha.....owell
[Samsung Gear S2] henklbr:
FYI:

If you get an update for the Samsung Gear Manager, it'll change NOTHING on your Gear S2 (for that, you need a firmware-update of the Gear S2)...

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Ecniv_FR:
Hey guys,

First of all let me thank you for taking the time to read my question. I tried to prevent this post but as I really don`t like bricking my unit I felt like I had to confirm my suspicions, couldn`t confirm this myself as the search button has not been proven to be my friend :(

I have a GS (Hot Audio) unit 800 * 480 RK3066 running on a rooted Android 4.4.2 at the moment and wanted to upgrade this to 4.4.4 however since my last visit to this wonderful forum a lot a changed and given me a case of information overload. Therefor I have the following questions.

- It is not mandatory to include the MCU.img in the update package

- Otherwise I can take one of these: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3246370 (Top 4)

- I can use any update.img as long as the resolution and chip number is correct. In other words there is no need anymore to look at the model KLD/GS/KGL (This one for example: http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/firmware/KK 4.4.4 Dual core Coudu Rooted /KLD/800x480/)

If you would be able to relieve me of these doubts I would be very grateful.

Thank you all again :good:
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
No one will shoot you. Ignore the grumps. :D

You are correct on all three points as long as you are sure of your head unit's make/details which sounds like you are. I know you used it for an example but in your third point you linked to Coudu's ROMs which are way outdated, stick to Malaysk's as they are superb.

Just be aware that there might be some settings (thinking of the configurable sleep timer delay) in newer ROMs that require an updated MCU so something like that won't work if your MCU is too old. But I don't know how applicable this is to you as I don't know what MCU revision you have for your GS. You can always update your MCU at a later time by itself if need be, no biggie.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Ecniv_FR:
Well a small update I just finished the install and to be honest I wished I would have done it much, much earlier Malasyk has done some incredible work :D

Thx again for your help again ;):good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arthlor:
Greetings. Earlier i made a rom flash and phone works perfectly except there's 'mobile network not available' error. I tried everything, did a modem flash, tried to change mobile settings, dug the whole internet, no solution. My last option is you guys.... Gave it to phone service, they said the mainboard needs to change and demanded alot of money. I think they can be manipulative since i believe its not a hard brick.

Please help me:crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Mobile network not available errors can, in a lot of cases, be corrected simply by pulling the battery and SIM card for five minutes, replacing both and restarting. If that doesn't work, you could then go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network operators and select "automatically". As a last resort, you could try a factory reset.

If none of these work, your phone service is likely correct in its assessment.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arthlor:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayank.kapoor1209:
I was using a custom ROM, SOKP to be specific. I was watching a video and the phone was low on battery, the battery got drained to 0% and it got powered off and even after leaving it on charging for full night it didn't charge. I've tried all the methods like pressing power button for 2 minutes, pressing volume down and power key for 20 seconds and for 2 minutes, nothing works. When I plug it in the notification LED blinks (just one blink) and when I press any key or any key combination the notification LED lights up(no blinking, continuous on) for 2-3 seconds and if I keep pressing the key for more than 2 minutes again the same thing happens first the LED turns on at 18 seconds and then at 2 minutes of pressing the keys.
