Soon we will start having cyanogenmod version for nexus 4 and at the beginning it will be unstable so I was wondering if any of you tried to install a dual boot on your nexus 4

Duel booting is very common on samsung phone s1,s2,s3 implemented into the kernel
but i haven't seen it on a nexus before.
Well Bootmanager lite is compatible with the previous nexuses
I have Boot Manager Pro, I will test it once I get my Nexus 4.
anybody try this yet?
Boot Manager Pro doesn't support Jellybean (yet).
so does anything work to dual boot yet?
There's a multiboot loader available for Nexus 7.
Maybe it will be ported to Nexus 4 some day...
is this possible on the nexus 4?

The creator will not do it because he does not have a nexus 4. So we have to do it ourselves, we can use his sources.
So how do we build it? are there instructions?

I wish I knew what I was doing to do something like this, but can anyone actually do this? If it is done for the nexus 7, I would imagine it should be able to be done for the 4?
I will begin trying to port this for the mako device next days, but I will have the Nexus 4 device in a few weeks only, so I would need some testers. Next weekendI'll post more details about my work if it goes well.
Adaptation of multirom
Hello,
I'm new on xda, but I have often used your tutorial to update my galaxy s to the latest version of android.
I am a newbie here but I know read tutorials, install and test firmware.

Today, I just got my nexus 4 and I want to help you. Have you made progress on the project to adapt MultiROM for the nexus 4?
I'm ready to test your version
Good Bye,

Thanks for giving your help. However I just grab sources from mako kernel and multiboot, didn't begin working on it yet, tomorrow I'll try. First step making kernel having kexec boot method.
Edit : have to dl linux and reinstall my bootloader, a upgrade of my windows made it go away. :s That's ironic, a broken dualboot on my PC prevents me to work on dualboot for the phone. Anyway will begin working on that this evening.
Please do update on this if you get it working. I would like to dual boot Ubuntu and my stock phone OS.

Of course, I'll ask a thread in the dev section when I'l need some testing. I don't promise any result, but think it will be easy to port, just need to spend some time. Will begin tonight.

There's a thread in the general forum where someone is trying to get CM12 running on it. Someone has it running but not fully functioning yet . Give it a month and we'll have it.
Please any dev try to make custom rom Base on lollipop for this low end device There is no such custom rom even it can handle lollipop smoothly but it's ignore by many dev as its flag as low end Samsung device please anyone try to build a Ron for core 2 sm-g355h thanx in advance [emoji20] [emoji17] [emoji53] [emoji52] [emoji55]
Sent from my SM-G355H
I join this request. Currently I own a SM-G355M. It seems that we have to wait until Samsung delivers the lollipop update.
Still No Lollipop !!!!!
Android 6.0 is gonna come out
but still no lollipop for our poor SM-G355H/M(Samsung Galaxy Core 2)
Feeling So Sad
I have some porting knowledge and im ready to sacrifice my device for it, is there a phone that is close to the g355h hardware-wise?

Quite good.. defenitely going to try porting the 5.1 from the Core Prime.. my first guess that we'll run into Camera issues since they have different cameras, we might need compatible G355H (or similar) camera lib for 5.1 if the older libs will run into compatibility issues.

Ok I will search and see if I find one
I didn't found any Android device with L ROM/Firmware with the exact same Camera specs as the GC2. One question: The Moto E (1st Gen) has the same Camera specs but he hasn't Front Camera... Is it possible to use the lib from this device and make front camera work? [emoji4]
Hit the Thanks Button if I helped

Well, i've looked through some forums and i found this..
As per samsungs database core 2 (SM-G355H) & Core prime (SM-G360H) have common camera.
Click to expand...

so i think we're good, will be easy to port.
Update: Well... i've done some more researching and it seems like only the G360F is getting the Android 5 update and the device specifications differ..
G355H: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/c7bd2c38
G360H: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/9ea92fe9 (No difference from G355H)
G360F: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/18f33232 (Differs from both G355H and G360H)
@white-energy
I saw this and i dont know if Samsung will really release that phone ( 4 Month old post and its not better than the normal prime )

Pretty good catch there mate!
I've poked around in google and found the firmwares: http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G531H/
Will definitely mess around with it asap.
Update: Oh i just checked the specifications of that model and it seems that the G531H isn't the Grand Prime VE.. emm.. hopefully we'll see that model out..
Update 2: It's confusing.. i can't find some solid info anywhere..
Update 3: Okay.. found something useful and it seems that the SM-G531H is the correct model that contains the same SoC as the G355H.. so we're good.

Sorry but hardly. G531 has 8 GB of internal storage(system reserved aprox. 1.6 GB because system image for G531 is larger than 1.4 GB ) and our G355 4 GB (system reserved aprox. 1.1 GB) so I don't see that fit.

well, porting already working rom from one device to another is one thing. But what rom (device) would you use?? No one build cm-11.0 for any device similar to ours. I have been searching a lot...
Building from source is totally different thing. A lot of time time to find needed proprietary files, setting up device tree, patching if needed and than building with no errors. And finale is it rom bootable or not.
I build cm-11 rom for g355hn but all I got is cm boot logo and 50-60 lines of logcat where I could seen successful loading wifi modules, loading MALI libs and some display drivers and than boom. Logcat stop and I'm in boot loop where I can't see anything else what cause phone from booting.
So if anyone can help my sources are right here:

I wish Google release it for the Nexus 4 too as a reward to early adopters and compensation for a device with so many flaws

This poor device has been stuck on touchwiz 4.4.4 for a very long time, it would be great if somebody tried to port a good rom to it.
Please reply with updates, if there's any.

Presently sitting on an old build ROM
Pixelized-OS-v2.9-20180816-SM-T230NU-FIX
That has worked relatively well even on this device with limited storage, processor, and memory. Either way, I'd love to help my unit has been rooted for 3 or so years and please let all of us know if we can help.
Please also note, I use this device only as a backup, so starting over and trying something fresh can happen quickly.

Android 10 should work with some optimization- porting the kernel to a relatively new version would likely be the hardest part.

I just found all device tree specific blobs and all that. Can start from there at least. Then once we get it booted and working then we can go for Android 8-10

How complicated is it to slim down the builds as much as possible?
I don't see needing all the extra TouchWiz crap that this device barely supports and had survived using Link2SD for storage. Something stable supporting at least basic apps is all I need, and most of those (Gmail, Chrome, etc) are now available from play store.
Thanks for trying and let me know if o can help! Sorli...

Hi, my advice is starting by taking sources from other variants (you can find them in GitHub S3NEO organization) and editing sources by starting from that base. For the kernel, it shouldn't be difficult to make a defconfig by always looking in matisse and millet ones. I advice you to start from Android 9 (lineage-16.0 branches) since they are the most stable. If you are really interested to work, you can write me in Telegram (same username as xda profile) and I can write you something more about what you should do.
Android 8, 9 or 10 will be nice, but right now I will be happy with Android 5. Are there any ROMs for degas higher than 4.4.4?
Are there any true Android 5 or Android 7 ROMs for this device?

For now most of the ROMs out there are based on touchwiz so they are 4.4 with themes. I hope devs can build proper Android 8+ ROM for our good old buddy

We can't because degas has different SoC and nobody of the devs have this device. So, we can't do anything.

Yeah that Marvell CPU and Vivante GPU is a real headache I guess. Why Samsung put them in it lol Maybe one day (when NewPipe stops fully working on my Tab 4) I'll grab a new Tab (probably S series this time).
