I may try 1
so after you generate the file you flash it with CWM in recovery and that's it? This will replace your current ROM, Kernel,etc...?

Yep, it will replace all of it.
Very nice. Some of the files are a bit outdated, like Talon, but I ain't complaining as I get to create my own ROM haha.
One thing though, some of the stuff like the ROM base, it says JVO v4, JV9 v5, JV5 v6, does that mean JV5 is the latest version? And does it matter what CSC files we use?
For the keyboards, there's multiples of the same type of keyboard, like different swype versions. Does it matter which we use?
if im on serendipity 7 would it be better to make a no wipe or wipe JVO rom from here and how would u install
Bootloopin' boogy
Got stock GB wiped, dalvik cleared, factory reset flash the rom I made and its bootloopin time. For reference here is the file name of my rom.
JV9_Wipe-v5-00-18-55-09-06-4deff548941e2
Going to flash back to stock GB and make another one.

I also had bootlooping on my captivate. I'm going to flash stock gingerbread and try again
I also had the same boot looping problem... the problem was fixed when I turned off the phone and flashed talon's 0.2.1 kernel in place of the outdated one supplied by the kitchen. Seems to be working very smoooth. GPS gives a quick fix on me, Calls are clear, Messages go out fine, and Titanium restored everything without issue. Of course I've only had this running for about 10 mins now, but I tried all the important things first. Seems very stable once the kernel is replaced. I'm on JV5 for the first time and it is very quick.
I hope other people give this a shot.
Just know that it will boot loop until you flash a new kernel.
JV5_Wipe-v6-06-38-36-09-06-4df04e4520cd9
After checking the rom more I noticed my Home button did not work... I don't know if this is just for JV5 or not.
Ok I think I have this figured out. I took the kernel from Continuum... The newest, Talon 0.2.2 and also took the 2 key folders from that zip... They are located in the new continuum system/usr folder.
The two folders are named: system/usr/keychars
system/usr/keylayout
Delete those from the zip you receive and replace them with the two from the newest continuum zip and the home button will function properly.
Again, I have only tested this on the JV5 ROM offered from ROM Kitchen. It has the fastest boot I've seen period. Very smooth and everything seems to work once you figure out those couple things. It's worth it to me and I hope this helps it be of some worth to others. Thanks
Oooh cool! I always wanted to make my own rom!

Hi guys.. I just wanna know what is the best rom now for the LG gt540 (Swift)... I went to the subforum dedicated to this phone, but I see a lot of ROM, and as longer I check all, I don't know what can be the best choice..
I'm really new in this.. I just rooted my phone yesterday (I have my phone since 2010 =D)..
I update it with the official release to v2.1, but it is really slow, and I'm out of memory very soon (after a few app, I can't install others 'couse internal memory get full)..
Does anyonw know if there is some good ROM that just take up a little piece of memory, to let a lot more memory free?..
And if can be faster than 2.1, good, if not, is ok.. I really want, mainly, more space to can install more apps..
Thanks for your help!!!
first:

sdsl by miroslav_mm is best for me.good battery and performance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364416
thx manhcuong90.. I indeed install that ROM.. Is very true that your battery life is increased..
I wanna advice some guy that is in my same position (noob =D)..
When I tryes to reboot in fastmode, everyone says: "start the phone pressing the camera button + power"..
That is true, but not at all.. u don't just start the phone right this, but u need to hold it untill the screen become black..
It happend to me that I started holding camera+power, and once the phone turned on, I release those buttons.. I've been almost 1 hour to figure out why it doesn't enter in fasboot mode lol...
Anyway, don't be noob like me..
Another advice, and now I'm talking to my friend andreas =D..
andreas, your steps are great, but need to resort one of them, the partition memory for ROM and Internal..
I followed your steps, by installing first some ROM with fasboot and than I install the recovery..
the 2nd step was partition of memory.. I couldn't did that.. idk now if is some ROM that cannot be done, but I tryed like eoghan2t7 says, and nothing..
I really gave up, so I jumped that step to install one of the 2 mods u let me to choose (I choose the 1st, miroslav_mm's one)..
After I let my phone with that build, I tryed to do the memory partition, and... whoala!! it worked..
So, in my case, it didn't work with some generic ROM, but with the miroslav_mm's ROM it does..
So, if someone wanna follow the steps of our friend andreas, just don't try the partiotion of memory before u install any other ROM, 'couse probably it will not work, and u will stay one or 2 hours trying to figure out WHY all other guys can, and u can't
Ok, I guess that is all.. Thx very much for those who helped me. .And I have to say, THIS FORUM RULEZ!!!.. I did found very helpfull information that help me out to flash my first ROM =D

hmm okay
the repartition only needs fastboot ^^ you can delete your whole system and data and still use fastboot so the ROM will change nothing to fastboot behavior ^^ maybe there was a problem with the fastboot connection but im pretty sure its possible to flash APPSBL to any fastboot ROM But after flashing you have to reinstall ROM anyways so it really just dosn't matter what u were using before
My next tip for you would be playing around with different tweaks
e.g Supercharger, Loopy smoothness tweak, different init.d tweaks, or swap if you have good SDcard (i don't have but using anyways )

What is the best fast rom?
GT540 Best Roms
I have flashed custom roms to GT540 no less than 70 times in 2 months. These roms were based on customized Froyo, gingerbread, ICS, JB 4.1.2 and JB 4.2.2 roms.
The best roms i suggest are:
Optimus Nexus 2.3.7
Jelly Bean 4.1.2-FlashXter
Both can be grabbed from XDA's or androidmodmarket (lists all custom roms with quick download links)
If you prefer performance over quality go for 2.3.7 and for most apps to run , 4.1.2 is the rom you need.
Secondly you can customize 4.1.2 archive using 7-zip (etc.) by adding system apps, themes , media files of your choice.
Note: Some of android 2.1 apps don't run on 2.3.7....so better use the JB 4.1.2 rom.
This is a ROM I made by cooking the latest Geno's CyanogenMod (4/06/2012) so it's Gingerbread 2.3.7
I tried to make the ROM as small I could (size is 60 MB only) and build the system around your needs by leaving only the essential apps there
I also applied some fixes to the ROM
Changes:
1) Home Button Works (Changed Geno's Kernel in the boot.img with an older one)
2) Soft Touch Buttons light properly (like number 1)
3) All Chinese Apps Removed
4) Added Some Apps(ZeamLauncher,Play Store,WallpapersChooser,Music)
5) Changed Default CPU Governor to SmartAssV2 and Default IO Governor to DeadLine
6) Added Some init.d tweaks
7) Removed Lots of Audio files from media folder to save space
8) Updated hosts file(no more ads in apps) and gps.conf(optimized for europe,although I didn't tested it)
9) Added Root Permissions
Known Issues:
ROM starts with GPS enabled by default,remember to turn it off after installation
Calculator scrolling is slow. This is a general AOSP gingerbread issue for stock calculator app. Even a nexus s lags when scrolling to advanced panel in calculator (tried this personally).
Theme Support is still there,but there is no extra theme included in order to save up space.Just install any .apk theme and then apply it from theme chooser/manager.
TV-OUT doesn't work.
Installation:
Do the following in any order
-------------------------------------------------
Wipe data/factory reset
Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache
Mounts & Storage-> Format system
--------------------------------------------------
Now flash the .zip file
Reboot
Enjoy!
Well test it out,and tell what you think!
Happy Flashing

sorry for my bad english xD!...
@sewa2k I am not that good to be able to compile a ROM from sources.Also that why I wrote the word "cooking" in bold in the description.I made it with dsxdia kitchen
@zchuxz3x I unpacked the boot.img in dsxdia kitchen of a previous geno's CM release(this one to be precise: sourceforge.net/projects/genoandroid/files/update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-u8800pro-Geno-120202-en-fixed.zip/download) and took the zImage of this release.I just added it to the boot.img of the 4/06 release and then home button & light of touch buttons started working again.
You are free to just copy,paste my boot.img to your mod if you want too

Are you in 2.2 baseband? I think you first need to upgrade to gingerbread,root,install cwm and then install any .35 kernel rom.otherwise you will have the random reboots problem.

Of course there is not a problem! Android is a free OS and everyone is allowed to make any modification to any existing rom and then share it
Only one thing.I couldn't find any changes in camera.apk
Maybe if you tell me what changed I can notice the difference easier

The changes in camera.apk you'll see them when you open application with 7zip ( added hdr settings.xml and I can't remember what else ... I told you later )
Did you found the rom good ?

The rom works pretty flawless, however when I launch it the first time I'm asked to give a "Sim Network Unlock Pin". I've read a little about it, and it looks like something confuses the phone to believe that it's locked to a certain mobile phone company (it's not)
Will this cause any problems later, if I keep using the rom without doing anything?

thanks for your kind words
I also get this message like you. I just press Dismiss and haven't got any problems so far. I think this is a CyanogenMod only message since I get this also in MIUI and MokeeOS (which are based on CM).
Anyway.I don't think it will cause any problems.

Please read this carefully ! Don´t continue if you don´t understand the following easy statements !
1. I am not a Developer ! Nothing of the following Apps/Roms/Tools I post here are made by myself, I am just using them !
2. Do not follow this guide if you plan to use your SII the next 2 hours! (seriously)
3. If anything goes wrong, it is not my fault! It´s the way I made it...Please, think about every step you do, it´s your Phone
4. Do not follow this if you don´t know how to flash a Kernel or a custom Rom and you know that you will be to lazy to learn this with the help of this awesome XDA Forum (like I did)
5. If you find something confusing and can not find a Solution feel free to ask. But please, be nice !
6. English is not my Mom´s language and even tho I do like it, I am sure you will find mistakes. Sorry about this !

My Motivation
I do like Cyanogenmod as many of you do. Due to Samsung´s strange behaviour the CM Team still has a hard time with Google´s Jelly Bean on our Galaxy S2. It still causes troubles here and there, even tho the Developers did and do a amazing job on it. Many words, I know, ok, let me get the facts straight : I LOVE CM but I NEED some Samsung stuff.
In the past, with ICS it was possible, thanks to some very (very!!!!) good Developers, to dual boot Samsung ICS Rom and CM Roms. When Jelly Bean leak came out, we had to realize that this wasnt possible anymore as we now got the /preload partition because our /system partition wasnt big enough anymore to carry all needed files.
Even tho it is possible to use jazzk´s chameleon and CM Rom with DorimanX Kernel because jazzk didnt use the /preload partition, it was impossible to use another Stock or custom Samsung Rom.
That bugged me.
Thanks and Credits for all they have done to :
The Cyanogenmod Team for CM10.1
dorimanx for his awesome Kernels
tedascuen for sharing the stock XWLS8 Rom
_Sofos_ for sharing the XWLSD Rom
Goldieking and his Team for his awesome Mods
All those who helped me in this Thread (mentioned below)
Chainfire, of course for so much!
Jrummy Apps inc. for Root Browser Lite
The XDA Comunity for sooo much
My Wife for her Laptop and coffee
Forgot your Name ? Give me a hint!
Update 20.03.2013
I have been a bit lazy lately with all this but I tested some of the DorimanX Kernels. It seems that Kernel 8.3 and higher are more than OK now for booting both, CM and Sammy Roms. To me, as I didn´t follow all this very close, it got a bit confusing. Please read the last Pages, there are always some nice guys testing this & that AND they also give support.

There has been a lot of confusion with several Updates in CM 10.1. While this is a very good Step ahead for Open Source Projects, it makes Dual Boot with Samsung based Roms a bit harder. dorimanx has been working hard to get it all running, even Dual boot between CM10.1 and XWLSD is possible but for me and many others, Camera and Video is broken in the Sammy Rom. I will edit this as soon as this is fixed because IMO his Version 8 is another Masterpiece.
But for now this will be a "dirty" or "faked" Dual Boot.
What you need :
- DorimanX 7.44 "LSD EDITION" (Thanks to THE RED BLUR for your help)
- Any AOSP/AOKP Rom you want to use
- PreLoadLSDrom.zip (More Details)
(This is an edited XWLSD Rom that fits into our /preload Partition. DON´T use as FIRST Rom, it has NO Kernel)
- Time
Now we start :
- Flash the AOSP/AOKP you want to use as FIRST (!) Rom
- Set it up and (optional if you need the boot.img or just to have a running System backed up) make a Backup from Recovery
- Flash the DorimanX 7.44 "LSD EDITION"
- Reboot into its Recovery and prepare 2nd Rom
- Install PreLoadLSDrom.zip
- Boot into 2nd Rom to see if it works
- Done for now
With this Setup you now have 2 independent Systems on your Phone. Flashing another Open Source Rom in FIRST will not touch your Sammy Rom as all (AFAIK) Open Source Roms don´t use/touch the /preload Partition.
Please note, flashing any Sammy Rom, that´s not edited for this, will delete this Setup.
As long as you are using one of the "older" Open Source Roms you can now boot both Roms from the DorimanX 7.44 "LSD EDITION"
If you use a Open Source Rom with the new Video Drivers (and all these things I don´t understand) you will now need to install the corresponding Kernel each time you want to switch between the Roms. For now, I can confirm that Dorimanx 8 runs perfect with CM10.1 (24th build) because I tested it. So, you may now flash the "LSD EDITION" for the LSD Rom or the DorimanX 8 Kernel for your AOSP/AOKP Rom. This is dirty for now but it´s safe and working. And I am sure there will be a fix for this, soon!
Update 28.02.2013 Part 3
I moved my first Tutorials to Post #3. This got way to confusing here.. Also, this Post is edited to make it easier for the People to find what they are searching for.

wow, that's amazing man! but dorimax gives me a lot of FC and reboots... I'll wait a week or two before doing this.
How it all began...
Please read this carefully ! Don´t continue if you don´t understand the following easy statements !
1. I am not a Developer ! Nothing of the following Apps/Roms/Tools I post here are made by myself, I am just using them !
2. Do not follow this guide if you plan to use your SII the next 2 hours! (seriously)
3. If anything goes wrong, it is not my fault! It´s the way I made it...Please, think about every step you do, it´s your Phone
4. Do not follow this if you don´t know how to flash a Kernel or a custom Rom and you know that you will be to lazy to learn this with the help of this awesome XDA Forum (like I did)
5. English is not my Mom´s language and even tho I do like it, I am sure you will find mistakes. Sorry about this !

My Motivation
I do like Cyanogenmod as many of you do. Due to Samsung´s strange behaviour the CM Team still has a hard time with Google´s Jelly Bean on our Galaxy S2. It still causes troubles here and there, even tho the Developers did and do a amazing job on it. Many words, I know, ok, let me get the facts straight : I LOVE CM but I NEED some Samsung stuff.
In the past, with ICS it was possible, thanks to some very (very!!!!) good Developers, to dual boot Samsung ICS Rom and CM Roms. When Jelly Bean leak came out, we had to realize that this wasnt possible anymore as we now got the /preload partition because our /system partition wasnt big enough anymore to carry all needed files.
Even tho it is possible to use jazzk´s chameleon and CM Rom with DorimanX Kernel because jazzk didnt use the /preload partition, it was impossible to use another Stock or custom Samsung Rom.
That bugged me.
What I had was :
- a stock deodexed and rooted Jelly Bean Rom by Samsung from here
- a CM 10.1 Rom from here
- THE DorimanX Kernel 7.44 from here
- Rootbrowser Lite from Market (don´t know how to link it, but you will find it)
- TIME
If you have what I had, you can try the following lines...
First of all, I flashed the stock deodexed and rooted Rom I mentioned above (thanks to tedascuen for sharing)
I finished the complete Setup of the Rom, including Google Account, WLAN settings..
Now :
- download Rootbrowser Lite from Market
- use Rootbrowser Lite (now called RB) to delete all apps from /system/apps that I don´t need/use
- after that, reboot into stock recovery by holding Volume up + Home + Power
- do a Factory Reset
- reboot the System and finish the Setup of the Rom (as above)
- download RB Lite from Market again
- use RB to copy big files from /preload/symlink/system/apps to a folder in /data/apps/ that I named "sysapps"
Big Files I moved :
- ClockPackage.apk
- MusicPlayer.apk
- SamsungIME.apk
- SecBrowser.apk
- SecContacts.apk
- SecEmail.apk
- SecExchange.apk
- SecGallery2.apk
- SecLauncher2.apk
- SecMms.apk
- SecPhone.apk
- VideoPlayer.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- now delete the old symlinks in /system/apps of the Files above (you will get some errors/FC while doing this)
- now switch to /data/apps/sysapps and start to create new symlinks with RB by longpressing the file and "create shortcut"
- switch to /system/apps again and paste the shortcut (important, do this one by one, show some patience)
- after you created all new symlinks, reboot the system, you will see, all apps work again!
- most of the other apps from /preload/symlink/system/apps will fit into /system/apps but don´t move useless apps like all apps containing "test" in their name or google plus (you can install that later from market) or "swype" or.... I am to lazy to write down all apps I didnt move but with a bit of common sense you will make it for sure.
- after moving the apps to /system/apps you will see that all apps you moved will be set to rw-r-r and all symlinks you created will be set to rwx-rwx-rwx, thats fine !
- reboot the phone, everything should work fine
If so...
- flash the DorimanX Kernel 7.44 and
- reboot into his recovery
- switch to dual-boot options and set up the 2nd Rom
- clone 1st Rom to 2nd Rom
- reboot into 2nd Rom just to check if it works (it will)
now...
- reboot into recovery and install the CM10.1 made by MCM from here
- after the installation has finished, reboot the system and let CM10.1 boot
(GAPPS are not needed, yet but you may install them before you boot into CM)
- I really hope the CM has booted fine, now open STweaks
- in STweaks, change OpenSource Gralloc to Samsung´s Gralloc
- reboot the system and check in STweaks if the change worked (Samsung´s Gralloc)
now...
- reboot into recovery and flash the DorimanX Kernel again (or use Odin)
- after that, reboot again and you will see the Dual Boot Screen, you can choose first or second Rom
- DONE !!!
Another Way was...
Due to my slow internet connection I will only provide the way and the updater script here. Anybody who likes to help may link the Rom with the updated files here, this would be very kind !
To do what I did I used this : Notepad++ and 7zip !
Ok, lets go !!
- copy the stock deodexed Rom I mentioned above (for the lazy people, Link) to your PC
- Use 7zip to unzip the Rom (or any other tool!)
- unzip the attached file and replace the updater-script in /META-INF/com/google/android/ (in the unzipped Rom)
- in the unzipped Rom, go to /preload/symlink/system and move the complete "app" folder to /data/app
- your data folder should look like this : /data/app/app
- delete the now empty /preload folder
- use 7zip to compress data+META-INF+system+temp folders again
- copy your new compressed ROM on your SD Card
- boot your phone into recovery and install your ROM
- done !
I just did this exactly that way (after editing the updater script) and it worked perfectly for me. I can´t tell about performance or problems as I just tested this to see if it will run. Any feedback is more than appreciated.

I didnt do this very often so please take it easy on me and don´t bash me to hell if it was a stupid idea or impossible to follow at all. It´s just the way it worked out for me after several hours of testing.

Re: Dual boot Samsung Jelly Bean and Cyanogenmod 10 (my way to make it)
Nice work around :thumbup:
Sending...
CWM flashable .zip
Interesting approach!
Can someone try to make clean`n lite CWM flashable zip from XWLS8 to use it with dual boot?
I also miss some things from CM10.1 when same time there are some "must have" things on Sammy`s.

22.02.2013
Thanks to the great Idea and work of hawkerpaul there is now another, way easier and more simple way to setup 2 Roms for Dual Boot ! (look here for his thread)
I will try to explain as good as I can with a Samsung Rom (XWLSD) that I modified to make it run with another, Kernel compatible AOSP Rom !
Once again, all Credits for the "Magic" of the ROMs go to their respective Developers. I just modified the Updater Script a little, removed a lot of "Bloatware" and moved as many Apps as possible to /system partition. The /preload/symlink/system/app folder only contains a few Apps and has only about 80MB now.
Now we can use the /preload partition with both Roms which gives us much more smoothness/speed and an overall more stable system!
Before you start please note !
- The "myLSDrom.zip" contains a modified DorimanX 7.44 Kernel that is able to run XWLSD Sammy Rom (Thanks to THE RED BLUR for the Heads up)(Post). So, for now, the 2nd Rom needs to be compatible with this Kernel or you need to search another Kernel for this by yourself. I can and will not support this as I am not a Developer but a simple User and I am very happy with this Setup right now.
- The "myLSDrom.zip" also contains Goldieking´s amazing TeamAllianceMod. Why ? Because I LOVE it.
- I removed as much Samsung Stuff as possible. Even Samsung IME got replaced by Xperia S Kexyboard from here. If you don´t like my Setup you can do this by yourself with a XWLSD Rom, just let me know if you need help. I will try to write down a Tutorial !
1. Download myLSDrom.zip from here
2. Download the Rom you like to have as second one
3. Download hawkerpaul´s GS2PreloadRestore v1.04 and GS2PreloadBackup v1.03 from here (Downloadlink not yet ready)
4. Put all Files somewhere on your SD Card (internal/external) where you will find it later
5. Install myLSDrom.zip as first Rom and set it up
6. Boot into Recovery and Backup the Rom
7. Run GS2PreloadBackup v1.03 to backup the /preload/symlink Folder (install zip from SD Card will start it)
8. Now install the 2nd Rom
- usually while we install a Rom, the /system partition gets formatted. When we install a ROM as second, the Kernel leads to /preload as system partition. That´s why we usually lose all Files inside /preload. Thanks to hawkerpaul, that´s no Problem anymore
9. Run GS2PreloadRestore v1.04 to restore the backup of our /preload/symlink
10. DONE !!!!
If you run into Problems, please do not quote this all!

The EASY way
Ok, now I think I got this running!
Please note, all warnings, thanks and credits are in the very first Post. Please make sure you have read and understand them all!!
Thanks for your Attention
Follow these few steps careful and you will end up like I did, with a CM10.1 and a Samsung Jelly Bean XWLS8 Rom on the same Phone.
1. Download your favorite CM 10 or CM 10.1 Rom
2. Download the modified Stock deodexed & rooted XWLS8 Sammy Rom from here or the FULL ROM provided by Troubadour666, thank you very much for this !!
- the modified Stock is very "Lite" but I will write down the way to get the missing files if you need them !
- the FULL ROM provided by Troubadour666 contains ALL FILES !
3. Copy both Roms and the DorimanX 7.44 Kernel to the root of your SD Card, or wherever, just make sure you´ll be able to find them later !
4. CAREFUL ! PLEASE DO THIS STEP BY STEP !!!
5. Install the "literom.zip" (the downloaded modified Stock Rom)
6. Let it boot completely (important) with the stock Kernel (important) (this may take a while but it will boot!!)
7. Now install the DorimanX Kernel and boot into its Recovery
8. Setup the 2nd Rom
9. Clone 1st Rom to 2nd Rom
10. Try to boot into 2nd Rom (I hope it will) and let it boot, just to make sure
11. Reboot into DorimanX Recovery, do a Factory Reset/Wipe all
12. Install the CM Rom of your choice (my choice : MCM´s builds, AWESOME!) and let it boot completely (Gapps are not needed right now)
13. CAREFUL ! PLEASE READ !!!
14. If you are using MCM´s CM 10.1 you need to (thanks to unexist6969 for that Info!!!!)
- start STweaks
- in systemsettings, change Gralloc to "Samsung Gralloc"
- exit STweaks and reboot once to check if Samsung Gralloc is applied
- if so, reboot into Recovery again
15. Install the DorimanX Kernel again (cwm or odin, I prefer CWM flash, never had problems or yellow Triangle)
16. Reboot, you just set up a nice running Dual Boot System ! Congratulations !!
Hint : If you run into a bootloop after step 16, hold Volume up+Home+Power till you enter Recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache, this will work

Click to collapse
Please note : If you want to apply any visual Mod on this, you need to change a lot of things. An Example, I am using the Alliance AOSP Mod (AWESOME stuff,LINK) and I had to copy the Files manually because the Mod points to /preload..but don´t worry, copy n paste will do, they allready did all the MAGIC (seriously great stuff) !
If you miss Samsung Stuff follow these easy steps :
- Get the Full Rom from first Post
- inside you will find a Folder called "Preload" extract that on your PC
- copy the Apps you missed to your Phone SD Card
- now use Root Browser Lite to copy them to /data/apps/apps
- Longpress (RB Lite) the File and tap "create shortcut"
- Switch to /system/apps and paste the shortcut
- Do this with each File and reboot, DONE.
This may sound complicated but really, it isnt. Don´t be afraid to ask questions that are not answered here or in First Post!!
EDIT:
Important : All MIRRORS are very welcome as i don´t know how Google Drive handles Bandwith. Also, feel free to post your own Full or modded Versions here as long as you give propper Credits to the DEVELOPERS. Please keep in mind, we are nothing without them!
If your Version is confirmed to be working I will add it here (if you like).
Greetings & thanks for your Attention
Thomas
It Works
So as i say to you in MP, i download the files in post 9 (removed since)
and i repack it as a normal flashable ZIP , with WINRAR , i add last dori in too
and i flash it in second rom. before that i format second rom data and cache, wipe data/cache too.
so I boot and i m happy with my ls8n in rom2. thank's for that !
Re: Dual boot Samsung JB XWLS8 and CM10(.1) [ROM ADDED]
Script worked with neatrom full. Just needed rename sale to tmp.
Cloned 1st ROM to 2nd ROM and viewed current status and it didn't show 2nd ROM.
installed cm10.1 to 1st ROM and changed gralloc to Samsung.
Installed dorimanx 7.45 and booted but there wasn't any dual boot screen, just dorimanx logo.
I'll try this again later today with new steps

Hey,
thanks for feedback!
I think the NeatRom Updater Script is very different to the Stock one but I seriously don´t know for sure. I can only tell that the way I described will work wih the Download I provided (tested by myself) and DorimanX 7.44. If you find the Time, try it with the Rom I provided (literom.zip) from Post #15 and follow the Steps again. If you run into Problems then, maybe me or another User will be able to help you.
But in generally I would expect the Problems in the different UpdaterScript.
If you want to use NeatRom you may still try my first way in First Post (manually moving the Files)
Hope that helped a bit!
Greetings
Thomas
Re: Dual boot Samsung JB XWLS8 and CM10(.1) [ROM ADDED]
OK, I'll test test ROM and see if it works. And test more with neatrom full
And do I have to do that gralloc thing? Can you explain why is this needed?

I can not really explain, I followed a hint from Unexist6969. Fact is, MCM's build will not run with DorimanX if you don't change it.
A wild guess is the Ram allocation to Graphics is different in Open Source Gralloc but if you want to go deeper into this you may ask a Developer.
