Well, I found a program called partition wizard on cnet, and I can make as many partitions that I want to, but not sure which type of file system the ext2 partitions are supposed to be. It gives multiple choices, the one I would think it's supposed to be is linux extended, which is ntfs. Still not sure which one to use. I also found out that I didn't have the correct driver for my eris to use the adb, but I also am running a rom (ZENexp eris) Which does automatic apps2sd, so I really don't wanna have to wipe my phone completly to try again. Sorry for all the questions, i'm a newbie with android and anything linux. I appreciate all the help.

I have a wifi tether problem, In settings under wifi tethering when I try to enable it threwe there on dualrom sdfroyoshed it gives an error. I can easily use the wifi teather apk, but I would like to be able to enable it threw the settings any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] icedventimocha:
WOW

Okay, finally got my sd card partitioned, ended up finding the driver for adb. All I have to say is that you guys are amazing. I'm really suprised at how fast both roms are, especially froyo running on a micro sd card. Thanks for all the hard work, it was worth it!!!

Just looking for some help quick, I love the rom, but in settings the wireless teather gives an error when you try to check the box to start wireless tether. I would like to be able to enable the wireless teather from settings any ideas?

dualromv1.1 with cfsv7
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
yeah you have to use the wireless tether app....the wireless tether built into the android framework on 2.2 is not compatible with the eris processor so it won't work.

If i partition my sd card for this, do i have to undo the partition if i want to flash a regular rom? if so can someone point me in the right direction where to learn that so i'll be prepared. I would like to try this out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Yes, you would. It's easy, you can do it in recovery. Just pick Partition sdcard, use your trackball to set cache 0 ... ext2 0 and let the rest make fat32 and you'll be all set to flash a regular single rom and have 1 big partition on your sdcard. :D

FroShedYo V5

Is there a way to upgrade to the latest FroShedYo without losing the dual Rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] icedventimocha:
So I have sucessfully installed this rom, now is it possible to delete the rom that is on the phone, keep the gscript files and the zip files that write the boot files, and install a different rom on the phone and still keep froyo on the sd card?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
We should have the release ready soon with the updated Froshedyo...also changing up where the roms are stored a little so that after this we can hopefully put out no wipe updates....

The gscripts won't work if you just install another rom....it would depend on what rom on whether the bootrom1.zips in recovery would work either as the boot.img's are built for different roms. The setup is going to change for v1.2 where both roms will be half on sdcard and half on phone so then it will not work....also when installing 2 roms like this we have run into to issues with symlinks not making correctly and permissions not getting set correctly so we have adjusted to fix these things so it's hard to tell how other roms would work...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Team ADX:
Dualrom 1.2 released....lots of changes...see op.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Team ADX:
Yes, see op, or DIE! lol ... this is shed.

DualRom v1.2

Moved both roms so that half of each rom is on phone and half is on sd card. The 2.2 rom system files are installed on the system partition of phone and uses the second partition of the sdcard as the data partition. The 2.1 rom now installs the system files on to the data partition of the phone and uses the 3rd partition of sdcard for data. This gives us many advantages including future no-wipe updates, quicker install, speed bonus for both roms, unlimited app space for either rom by making the data partitions of sdcard bigger so no apps2sd are needed, more stability from the roms.

Removed some bloat apps from 2.1 rom such as amazonmp3 and some stock apps.

updated the shedfroyo to v5 (ChangeLog Here)

updated kernel to Decafuct CFSv8 with loop support, speed increases, better memory management, new "smartass" governor. (upgraded for both roms)

Added some flashable zips that will be pushed to your sdcard during install that will allow you to wipe data or dalvik for either rom.(Please use the zips. Wipeing Data or Dalvik-cache the normal way in recovery will not remove the right files and will mess up and you will need to reinstall. Zips are named so you will know what they do.)

Install as you would a normal rom. You can do the normal wipes in recovery then flash the rom zip from your sd card. Installation should not take near as long as it did for the last version. Your phone will still reboot once inbetween installing the 2 roms.

Apps/media

So with this dual rom what is the best way to handle apps and accessing my music and pictures. would you have to go into the scripts on like 2.2 for instance and mountsd and copy all of it there. if im in recovery use usb-ms and copy it to the fat32 partition?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Well it depends on which rom you want to use the music or whatever on...if you want to use it on the 2.1 rom just mount the phone to pc the normal way and copy the files over. If you want use it on the 2.2 rom you will need to use the gscript to mount the last partition of the sd card and put the files on there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] korben dallas:
i might have done something wrong but when i boot to 2.2 i don't have any scripts in gscripts. it gives a error saying there are no scripts on sdcard, something close to that :(

edit i rebooted and everything was fine
[Droid Eris Android Development] icedventimocha:
As usual, excellent work gentlemen.

I would like to add, that i've had some issues when running the bootto2.x gscripts in both versions of dual boot. I'm getting out of memory errors when running them, if anyone else is having this problem, use a task killer before running the gscripts and I don't seem to be getting the errors. If anyone else has a better fix to this, let me know. Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Yeah i get this error sometimes too...I believe it's because the script copies the the boot.img to the tmp folder before flashing it to the phone and it is using to much memory all in one. Using the task killer is probably a good solution for now. I can eliminate a step in the process for the next release that will hopefully fix that issue. We are also working on putting the reboot and mount sdcard options into the settings menu and eliminating the need for the gscripts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] strongergravity:
I tried this out again over the weekend. I'd switched back & forth a couple of times over the weekend with no problems. Then yesterday I went to switch from 2.2. to 2.1 and it froze at the skateboard screen. I waited 10-20 minutes & it was still stuck. Pulled the battery & still stuck. Wiped Dalvek & still stuck. Any suggestions? Anything you want me to check?

Loved it while it worked!

Luckily I have 2 SD cards, so I'm back to CELB in the meantime.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Flash the bootrom.zip in recovery
[Droid Eris Android Development] icedventimocha:
The task killer thing has stopped working for me, but I did find something else that has worked for me so far. I edited both of the bootto2.x scripts so instead of the last line being "reboot", I added an extra empty line and added "exit 0", like at the end of the mountsd and unmountsd gscripts. It keeps the phone from rebooting without a boot image if there is an error, then you can just manually reboot the phone, or rerun the gscript if there is an error. Funny thing is, after I changed the gscripts to this, I haven't got the "out of memory" error messages (yet). Hopefully this won't cause any unforeseen problems, not really sure because I'm an amateur at this stuff.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
If it does happen then you can just boot to recovery and flash the boot.img's through there also....
[Droid Eris Android Development] icedventimocha:
I did that a couple of times, and after a couple times it broke all of the links for my apps, it even started the setup for the 2.2 rom over again, so i had to reinstall 1.2. I did go from dualrom 1.1 to 1.2, so since I did that, is it possible that the new boot img's were never made, and the ones from 1.1 are still there? I did use the wipe and davlik cache zips for 2.1 and 2.2 before installing 1.2.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Yes it could be possible it did not overwrite the old boot.img zips on the sd. You can just drag them out of the dualrom.zip file and copy them onto your sd and delete the old ones first.
[Droid Eris Android Development] icedventimocha:
It does look like that is what happened. Thank you Conap for your infinite Android wisdom. I definetly wouldn't have got this running without your help :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] korben dallas:
this rom has alot of potential, i love the idea with the dual roms but ive had a few problems with glitches. i will try again once another version comes out, but i was wondering if the op could post instructions on how to get the memory card and phone back so people can flash regular roms again. **sorry if my wording is hard to understand thx

please don't think i am complaining i am not, i am a rom whore i like to try new ones as they come available thank you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
You can repartition your sdcard with the menu option in recovery and then flash a new rom as normal....

Edit: see thats what happens when i try to reply while driving in my car lol...
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
DOH! Try again? ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Lol I fixed it....
[Droid Eris Android Development] mustangforlife23:
Hey you guys! You all have done a great job on this rom....I have not had any major issues at all...only this I have had was 2 lockups and a couple reboots by itself since the release of 1.2..the speed is great and not laggy or anything. Also I got like 15 apps on my eris which I love the 2.2 rom and that is all I use and phone memory still at 200mb so that's really great. Although while using wireless tethering my 3g goes out until I turn wireless tether off and reset my internet connection. If any light can be shed on this subject id appreciate it. Other than that outstanding job you guys and keep up the hard work! Thankyou in advance!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Hey. I've been working on making the initial partitioning a little easier for people. What I really want is a flashable zip, but right now here's a PC side script.

You have to boot the phone into recovery, copy and unzip this file into your SDK's tools directory, and then double click on 'part-start.bat' or start it from the console. There's a Linux version there too, but I haven't test it at all.

This copies a phone side script to the recovery partition and then partitions your sdcard. When it's done, you will most likely have to CTRL-C out. It seems to hang up waiting for the PC side.

I'll throw this up here as a beta test if anyone wants to try it out and give feedback.

Upgrading the ROMs

So I noticed there is a new version of the 2.2 Rom. My question is if it possible to update the Rom and if so is there a special method for doing so. I have been using this for the last 3 days and it works fine. Still looking through it, and am new to flashing roms, but not Linux, and found it worked quite well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tymogr:
So I just installed 2.1, went to add the Boottosd script, and it's not there. Oh noz :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rough Rider 8:
IS there a way to get just the 2.1 sense rom off this? I see in the OP that its based off jcases work which I guess means his plain jane, I installed plain jane 2 and I like it but the 2.1 on this dual boot looks awesome. Is there a theme I can get?
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
I'll see what I can do in the next couple days about a stand alone. The only theming done to it was the espresso style launcher bar though, and I added a few custom wallpapers... but that's about it lol :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tcrappa2:
Is there a way to do this partitioning straight through terminal rather then adb?? Thanks!!!.. Awesome works guys, you're all ridiculous
[Droid Eris Android Development] BiGDoCM.D.:
I am extremely new to this. I have kaosfroyo installed on my Eris, but I came across the DUAL ROM afterwards & would like to install it instead. I have partitioned my sd card according to the provided insctrucions. I did a factory and Dalvik wipe. Flashed the zip from the sd card, and I get "E:Can't open /sdcard/DualRom_-_v1.2.zip (bad) Installation Aborted. Please help, I am so excited to try this ROM!
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Re download the rom, it may have gotten corrupted during download. Also, make sure u eject your phone from your computer before u turn USB storage off on your phone to avoid possible data loss. Good luck, it really works well, I promise ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jborden061:
a issue i had

Hi new to xda. must say i love your work.this is brilliant. Ok now for the issue at hand..... i had alot of trouble booting after the install and i was good i read the whole thread before posting. i found you will get hung up on the skate screen if u have the charger plugged in. it happened for the first boot and every boot or rom change after that. it happened on both 1.1 and 1.2. I now have 1.2 on my phone and its great. This is insane. Im not complaining about the boot thing, just trying to let someone know who is doing the same thing. i wanna give a hats off to the dev your a god to my eris lol :D

P.S.sorry for the bad grammer
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
This was a team effort, we all thank you for the compliments :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] BiGDoCM.D.:
Thanks Workshed, but I seem to be having the same problem... After partitioning, my pc forces me to format in order to move the dual file into it. There are 3 options to format; FAT, FAT32, & exFAT; I am selecting fat32. Could this be part of the issue? Do I somehow need to remove kaosfroyo before flashing the dual rom? Please excuse my noobitude, just really excited to finally get my Eris to work to my liking.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
After you partition as directed, reboot your phone into recovery, then in recovery, select to enable USB (2nd one in the list for Amons) with your phone plugged into the pc. Move the dualrom over and flash :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jborden061:
new roms?

I was wondering if u where working on any roms to possibly replace one or both of the roms in the dual boot? Possibly a zip we could flash. I love what u have posted but i would like to see something like a striped down no sence rom for 2.1. I realize if i had the skill to redo my boot sequence in the rom its self i could do this myself. I just dont have that kinda skills. My idea is like a stripped down rom that i could under clock where the 2.1 sence rom is now and keep the other one you have there ( i absolutely love that one .) . That way i would have a power saver and a preformance rom. I dont know i u are planning on releasing different combos or not or if your takeing request but i think that some options would be great.(not that this isnt already) just kinda some ideas . thanks for all of your work. great job guys:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Yeah would it be possible to change one of the roms in the zip? Like could we change the 2.2 rom to a different one or vice versa?

[Droid Eris Android Development] Zalatorisaurus:
Just flashed. Very satisfied with speed and performance. Works great with my problem. I need mms and it only works with 2.1 for me, but I like the pros of Froyo. Thanks and great work :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] vochrak:
Great concept. I do have a question about the PRL upgrades. It looks like no matter what I do, the previous PRL remains in place. As if it doesn't get overwritten. Even in version 2.1. Any suggestions? Not at all complaining, as it's a fun little toy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] justjayhere:
LauncherPro outdated...

I just installed this Dual Rom.. and came across one issue... when you go to setup the 2.2 Rom it gives you a choice between ADW Laucher and LancherPro Home Managers the first time you hit your home button. I use LauncherPro normally.. so I selected that to be my default.. only to find out that it is outdated.. and oautomaticly takes you to their web site to download the lastest version.. but when I down loaded it.. it wouldn't install (and yes I inabled installing of unknown apps etc)... I just got stuck in a loop of not being able to do anything.

So my advice would be to choose ADW Launcher to start.. then download other Home Lauchers via the Android Market there after.

I am going to retry with this plan now.

Also: Question... what`s the best way yo backup this DualRom.. can I use Clockwork?
[Droid Eris Android Development] theboo7:
Is there any way to change the ROMs used in this, or at least update the froyo to v10 from 5? lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] mustangforlife23:
Funny how this thread/rom died...such was good work in,progress like they say all good things come to an end before their.time
[Droid Eris Android Development] strongergravity:
Yes, I agree. It would be sweet if we could roll GSB in with a tweaked 2.1 such as xtrSense, just for fun. Only problem...when I played with this in the past I hardly ever booted into the 2.1:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
True, we had a plans for this. We were really waiting for 2.2 sense to be fully working, since like 3 people were working on it, we figured it wouldn't be long... but, such is life some times. I'll talk with Conap and see if he's down with doing a GSB/xtrSense DualRom. I doubt it, but I'll see what the consensus is on this...
[Droid Eris Android Development] strongergravity:
No problems...like I said, i wasn't much of a swinger back then anyway...:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
It's all separate, no worries :D

And to correct myself on the nand issue... you CAN nand the 2.1 rom, but currently we can't fully nand the 2.2 rom that's on the sdcard. We will be working on that in the future here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
is there a way to know you are partitioned right????
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
Argh, the download is taking forever.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
after running all the commands in parted you can type print and it will show you your partitions. There should be 6 there...1 fat32, 2 ext2 1 extended partition 1 ext2 and then 1 fat32. Also doing a nand + ext will save phone rom and the system of sd rom. It will not save data of sd rom. I should be able to do something to make a backup. Also when doing adb if you are booted in 2.1 and use adb it will show the 2.1 files. If you are booted into 2.2 and run adb it will show the 2.2 files. They still are in the same file structure for those who use adb to install or remove things.

if my partitions didnt work right could it have flashed fine but cause this?????

should i redo it all???

or can i check my partition somehow at this point ?

[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
in 2.1 or 2.2?

hmmmmm? well im not sure i would say 2.2
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
Same thing has happened to me. I'm still in 2.1 and gscript won't work, so I tried wireless tether and it wouldn't work due to it not getting su permission.

i am still on skateboard screen prob 5 min atleast

no i didnt wipe i figured partitioning done that
[Droid Eris Android Development] Team ADX:
nope partitioning wipes the sd card but not the phone...unfortunately you will have to either reinstall the rom and wipe first. Added to first post to wipe first...I promise it's worth it once you get it going....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Team ADX:
if you are familiar enough with the adb shell you can attempt to do an adb shell while it's boot looping and delete everything in data and cache directorys and reboot.
