Hello,
I'm successfully booting a second Rom on my SD Card. Here is what I did
- Build custom ICS kernel. Source from SpeedMod K3-3
- Make a copy of current rom and put on SD card.
- Boot the rom on the SD Card using the custom kernel
I'm currently testing a function to switch the rom by pressing the home/or any key button during boot.
I'll post the kernel and instruction how to setup a rom on the SD card soon.

Update: Sorry guys, I've been busy, so I couldn't have enough time to write the instruction. It's very easy to set up with my scripts.
1. Install any ICS rom - flash the rom like you've been doing. (be careful about EMMC brick, please don't wipe using unsafe kernel, even if you are on my modified kernel)
2. Flash my scripts using CWM to copy current rom to the SD card.
3. Flash My modified speedmod ICS K3-3
4. Reboot
Please note that, this method only works if both roms are ICS. It will not work if you have one rom is GB and one rom is ICS. Unless, somebody can make a kernel that works for both GB and ICS.
I'm test couple of changes to the config file before upload the script & kernel.
wow great
please post some videos too
Looks promissing
A rom to be used on work and another to use at home *_*
Will the apps be shared between the roms?
Good idea, that's what I'm trying to do. I have a init script that you can use the same application file to save space. It's working on my old roms. I've not tested it with ICS roms. I got a lot of force closes when I try to share both apk and data.

A friend of mine has a Defy Mini which is causing her all sorts of problems due to software glitches etc. I offered to take a look at it and see what I can do. I looked at the rooting process and it seems simple enough to downgrade the bootloader, get fastboot, and flash a recovery.
My question is though, can I install a custom ROM like CM on it? I don't see any ROMs for the Mini, just the original Defy. Can I just flash a port of CM7 for the big Defy to the Defy Mini once it's rooted?
Is Defy mini hdpi?
If its not its a tough job to port
I Googled for a custom rom for this device and seems there are none
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Defy and Defy Mini has too much difference HW, none are the same as far as I know.
So no easy port. You will need to develope the rom from start (that sound hard I'm no dev.)
And as nogoodusername said, noone interested to do it yet.
Thought not. I'll help my friend get a replacement device then. Thanks.
How hard would it be to port a ROM from some other ARMV7 hvga device, like htc explorer?

it seams you can't do much (any) tweaking with the stock rom even if it's rooted. can't move apps to SD, can't uninstall system apps (that take up almost all internal storage), can't use scripts, does not recognize the ext2 partition... and so on..
errrm...You can move aps to sd via m2sd or a2sd or with native.
All system apps and bloatware can be removed.
Can use scripts.

We can't port Razr D1 rom because it's completely different phone - 1GB vs 512MB ram, Qualcomm and so on. It's completely different phone with different CPU, GPU & RAM.

Support for Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195
Hi, I tried this on a GT-I9195 using the "Galaxy S4" preset... Both ROMs seem to be installed, but once I install the second ROM, there doesn't seem to be any way to boot back into the first ROM.
I'd love for this to work on my device (serranoltexx). Could I help add support for this device in some way?
Thanks

Hello,
i tried to install the MIUI v5 4.9.26 Multilang but I got the error in the picture attached to this post.
Could you help me to install It? I have Omega ROM for first space and for the second I would install MIUI. I've already patched the ROM with the app for Android on the Omega and the tool create a dual.zip of the original MIUI ROM. I tried to flash it from recovery (TWRP 2.8.0.1 with Aroma MOD)
Thanks,

Alucard 1.4oc kernel issues
Hey, i am trying to flash Alucard 1.4oc over SlimKat on my Dual partition.. The patched script seems to install fine, but my boot just stops at the Samsung logo, vibrates twice and restarts... I can see that they made some changes to their updater_script, but I have not figured out if this is the source of my problems,or if it is not related to my multi-boot at all..
So, i just wanted to know if anyone has patched 1.4oc on anything other than Primary with success.
App Sharing

Well, I was trying to reply to the question on app sharing. I have used both the full share and the individual. I stopped the full share because of the differences between Gapps with the different ROMS. However, the full share seems like a better bet because it is a straight swap of partitions. The individual app sharing has been working, but as it has been noted, data is not part of that... Also, i find the use of hard links challenging when i am trying to look at my filesystem and figure out what is where. Not to mention that it doesn't really let you manage all the apps you care about for all the ROMS in one place. I have needed to go to every ROM if i want to uninstall a shared app and really have it go away.
that said, i don't really want to go down the path of partitioning my external sd card and using something like Link2SD. I am going to wait and see what our patch master produces for his latest updates that try to handle sharing of data, as well.
Response to Primary Rom update question
1) From recovery, flash the DualBootUtilities
2) Select Primary
3) Do a full wipe
4) Exit to recovery
5) From recovery, install your new primary ROM as usual
The big point noted by the OP is to avoid using recovery wipe utilities because they may wipe parts/all of secondary ROMS (those in Dual and MultiSlots)
---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------
So, I can get these kernels to boot up fine from the primary ROM which is current some recent nightly of CM11
However, when i flash over my dual (SlimKat 8.10) or multi-slot-1 (DirtyUnicorns v8.2) i can't get past the initial Samsung logo. The phone vibrates once .... twice .... then reboots.
EDIT: I should note that i have 2 other kernels that are booting fine for my secondary ROM
Can someone confirm if they are using either of these Alucard kernels succesfully on something other than the PRimary ROM.
thanks

Ok, got my kernel patched and working. As it stands right now, it looks like the current releases of the Alucard AOSP kernel (1.4oc) do not patch correctly. I confirmed this for 1.4h and 1.4oc. It took a lot of painful sleuthing, but i finally determined that the Alucard kernel for AOSP gets a patch for the init binary. I could not tell from the commits why this was needed originally, but it appears that Alucard changed something on his end, or the ROMS have changed something else on their end or whatever.. Regardless, the init_kk binary is now incompatible with 1.4 AOSP kernel.. I didn't have a dev environment handy to just change the config and rebuild the DualPatcher app, so i did the following to confirm:
1) Ran the DualPatcher app for the 1.4oc kernel
2) Started recovery, and flashed the patched kernel
3) went to the shell, unpacked the ramdisk and replaced the patched init with the original from the Alucard kernel ramdisk
4) repacked the boot.img, copied it to MultiKernels
5) rebooted
At this point, my ROM booted fine.

Dualboot TW Update
Hi guys,
I'm using the Dualbootoption developed inhere. As primary I'm using TW, as secondary DirtyUnicorns. Now the thing: I could make a Update of Touchwiz by Kies. I now, Root Rights will be removed and the Bootloader will be closed. So after the update I have to unlock the Boodloader and to root the Phone again to use the Dualboot Option or only to unlock the bootloader.
Just a few Information please

I think you must be rooted to set the kernel for your primary rom, and also have an unlocked bootloader to have custom recovery so you can flash dualboot patched roms

Hello I have made a very detailed video showing how to get Stock Samsung Lollipop (5.0.2) and CyanogenMod 12.1 (5.1.1) on the same tablet [T700 Canadian version] dual booting.
THIS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DESCRETION and I am not responsible if something goes wrong or you do something wrong. I have repeated the process at least 10 times to see how it works. Even did it on a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Note 4 with no issues.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME even watch the video a few times before you give it a try. In the end you can always flash stock Samsung Rom and do a factory reset.
I really enjoy using this feature and having the choice between two different roms on the same phone.
You can share apps from your stock Samsung Rom to your Cyanogenmod Rom without having to reinstall most of your apps. Saving lots of space.
I hope you enjoy.

Thanks and a wonderful day.
Happy dual booting.

So by using FolderMount I am able to save so far 3gb of space on my data folder. I transfer app data to external SD card. Link the app data on external SD card with FolderMount which tricks the app into thinking it is installed on internal data.
Then I created a backup in FolderMount. Switch roms load FolderMount. Restore backup for FolderMount. Restore link app data locations because cm and touchwiz see external SD card different and FolderMount corrects this thankfully.
Click the green linking tab a few times and FolderMount will recognize the data.
As I said I have saved 3gb of room on my internal data having app data on external SD card.
If something like this was built into our dualboot patcher it would make things easier. Maybe if we spoke to the developer of FolderMount. If not using both FolderMount and Dual boot patcher I now have 3 roms on my Note 4 and almost 4gb free space on internal data between all 3 roms. Look at the pics of before in my previous comment and this one to see.
Just finding ways of maybe booting 4 roms on one phone.
Will report back.
Think I am on to something, let me know what you think. Give it a try possibly. I will be making a youtube video to help better demonstrate.

How big are the 2 roms you want to boot with?
Internal storage is only 16GB with a lot less of available space once you have a full rom loaded.
So it's simply not really possible with two daily used roms.
Better you swith rom using full twrp backup. Then you already have multiple boot support via this workaround.
I thing if dual boot work for meizu ... we can test any rom without replace our daily rom.

When you want to use a specific ROM. Boot recovery, wipe all except all kinds of storage. Restore the ROM you want to use.
