@mikegapinski
Just wanted to know why this thread is in Xperia Arc section? I kept searching in Xperia Mini, mini pro, live with walkman section!
I think you will have more people to test if you create thread there too.
Also can you please also provide MD5SUMs for all ROM zip files?
Thank you!

You can flash AOSP5 direct. The point is u must have flashed particular stock rom in past so as to make sure you are on right baseband.

Is 2GB ext4 necessary, I have 1.3GB ext4. So will it work with 1.3GB ext4 partition in my sd card??
Sorry for posting in the development thread.

It may work , it's not tested .
If you want you can test and report back here if you faced problems.
It is recommended to use 2GB ext4 .

have you edited the zip ?
If yes , then download again. The new cyanogenmod recovery does not flash unsigned zip , and editing the zip breaks it's signing

Its now all over the development section where people are trying custom ROM and getting stuck at infinite bootanimation loop.
This, as explained by famous developer dhacker29, the f2fs file system is very sensitive and gets easily corrupted. This results in stuck at bootanimation.
Presenting the solution – One time, shut it all and noob friendly
Common steps
1) From your working ROM, copy all your sd card data somewhere safe (PC, pendrive etc)
2) Backup all your apps (you can use titanium back up or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581653)
3) Download stock firmware for all those “what if it goes wrong” issues.
4) Install drivers for Motorola devices
5) Download your favourite ROM
6) Install minimum adb and fastboot
7) Install TWRP (official support is now available)
The geek method
8) Format /system, /data and /data/media (I strictly mean format as simple wipes won’t do)
9) Now sideload your rom file
a. Advance in TWRP
b. ADB sideload and swipe to start
c. Connect to computer where you have installed drivers and adb
d. Start cmd and type adb devices – it should show your device
e. Now side load by typing adb sideload drive letter:\where\your\rom\rom.zip
10) Reboot to recovery
11) Now install ROM as normal
12) Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot
Non Geek method
8) Install stock firmware for your respective device using fastboot (there are tutorials that have the batch file which installs the firmware automatically by simply clicking the batch file)
9) Install TWRP recovery
10 ) copy ROM zip file and flash
Everyone is now requested to use the guide, help me improve it ans stop flooding dev section with same question over and over again.
Alternate Method : Noob Friendly.
First of all backup your sd card (i.e data/media)
Flash Philz Touch 6.26.6 Recovery
Hope you have OTG cable and a pendrive.
Copy the rom which you want to install on pendrive. Attach pendrive through OTG.
(backup your current rom on usbdisk. For this goto Backup and Storage. Find option backup on storage/usbdisk :good: )
Now, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It will ask Wipe to install new rom,tap on it. Say Yes.
After that goto Mounts and Storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). Say Yes.
Done.
Now flash your favorite custom rom.
Select the option install from sdcard. Then select usbdisk. Select your custom rom and install it

Quickest way I think is to take a USB Drive and attach it through an OTG-Cable, then use ES File Explorer to copy all things to it..
Connecting to a PC through USB takes more time due to some limitations there...
UST OTG works good.. :good:
You can use WiFi Direct maybe..

But i still hope this guide helps other. This should probably be sticky.

When I searched for the issue, I found nothing on it...And I had no idea how to fix it..
I thought to make a thread about the problem but didn't had enough time in those days..
I thought someone will eventually report the problem..
I think flashing the RetailGB firmware helped because it formatted the internal memory...

what version of TWRP are you using? only the official version or the teamex version has OTG support
Hi guys...I am posting a method by which you can swap your sd card as internal storage. It is not exactly a swap, but I tried it on my moto e XT-1022 and now have games upto 4 GB, while internal storage of the moto e is 2GB.
Method :
1. Download and install both the apps mentioned in the links below and grant both of them root permissions.
2. Open X-Internal SD and configure the settings as per the screenshot provided below.
3. Go to play store and download any large app. Eg : I downloaded Assassin's Creed Pirates.
4. When it is downloaded, go to foldermount app and click the + icon. Enter the game's name, its location of the obb, data (Android>obb) or (Android>Data).
5. Then choose where you wanna move the data or obb...I prefer sd card.
6. Hit OK......And wait while the mounting process is going on.
7. I prefer rebooting the device so there are no lags.
8. Enjoy your games!!!!!!!
Downloads :
1. Foldermount App : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByAFukM_0rJbNElBR1FrYzkzSTA/view
2. X-Internal sd : http://www.mediafire.com/download/x220faqj4b8x5tr/com.pyler.xinternalsd_3.8_free-www.apkhere.com.apk

Yes it does need root access. If your phone is not rooted, then you can try only the X Internal SD app. It does not require root access. Click here if you want the non-root method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/app-x-internal-sd-t3273916

When you moved obb to ext sd by foldermount, you did not click on the pin logo. Did you? Because I faced the same issue first time. I tried clicking the pin next to asphalt 8 after moving it to ext sd. Try and update me.
And yeah, XDA Rule number six is that you are not allowed to talk about apps like Lucky Patcher, freedom, creehack, etc.

No. In marshmallow there is no root access in the file manager as it did in earlier versions. So the path to SD Card is not specified. If you want my opinion, then use dual boot patcher and play games on kitkat.

Thanx
I'm NOT the developer/creator of this app/method. Chenxiaolong is. Here's the link to the official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
Credits: @chenxiaolong - This guy is just great. Our device required many additional hacks and changes to work because of its crappy closed-source update-binary and closed-source Mediatek sources. This awesome dev had to work a lot to get this work fully on our device. Yes, he did. Debug builds, logs, debugging, reworking and all, and he never stopped. That's just amazing. So, I want to thank him wherever you see his post and if you can PLEASE donate as your token of appreciation. :good::fingers-crossed:
@911-Future_Maker Some help and tips in the initial stages.
@FeyoMx Initial helps since my phone wasn't rooted then.
Me. No I'm not exaggerating. I did my fair share of work in testing debug builds and providing logs and testing again. So, press thanks if this worked for you :victory:
Disclaimer:
Neither I nor the dev is responsible for any damage this app does to your device.
You MUST have a nandroid backup in case something bad happens.
Only do something after the whole thread a few times.
Yes, this is true multibooting. Install as many ROMs as our internal storage allows. I can't install more than 3 ROMs (on extsd-slot) as I have a lot of apps.
Here's the procedure:
1- Download the latest version of the app from https://snapshots.noobdev.io and the DualBootUtilities.zip (https://snapshots.noobdev.io/DualBootUtilities-8.0.0.r2162.gc717564.zip)
Note: Only version 8.0.0.r2157.g7d47ab8 and newer completely supports our device.
2- Select ROMs from the navigation drawer of the app on the left
3- Grant supersuser/root rights when it asks
4- Click "Set kernel" if it is asked.
5- Click the three-dot menu on the first ROM, which will be your current ROM.
6- Scroll down and click update ramdisk
7- Reboot
8- Select "Patch Zip file" from the navigation drawer
9- Press the + button and select the zip of the ROM you want to install.
10- Select the slot to which you want to install the ROM.
Take either a data-slot or an extsd-slot.
I recommend using an extsd-slot because the internal memory gets full very fast. Even if you install to extsd-slot, only /system/ is stored on the SD card because having data and cache as image files on the SD card shortens its lifespan by almost a week.
11- Patch the GApps, Xposed or any other zip you want to install to this ROM the same way giving the extsd-slot number you gave for the ROM.
12- Install the patched zip. There are two ways:
I) in recovery (highly recommended)
II) through the built-in zip flasher. Click on the circle in the ROMs page. Add the zips with the plus button. Click the tick.
13- Reboot. It'll automatically reboot the new ROM if it was installed successfully.
14- Voila!! You are now multibooting!
To switch between ROMs, you need the Dual Boot Patcher app on that ROM. Navigate to ROMs, and click you ROM you want to switch. A tick will appear.
Reboot.
EDIT: Forgot about app sharing. Here it is
App Sharing:
Yes, this feature allows you to share the data of your apps across the ROMs. That means you'll have your Chrome tabs open as you left it in the other ROM. Cool !
Instructions:
1- Navigate to App Sharing settings in the navigation drawer.
2- Select "Share individual apps" and reboot.
3- Select the apps you want to share in "Manage shared apps" and select "Use shared data".
4- Reboot to the same ROM. This is very important. If you switch ROMs, you'll lose your data and you will have uncheck "Use shared data" to get it back.
5- Reboot to the ROM with which you want to share data.
6- Install the app if it isn't installed.
7- Do the same as steps 2, 3 and 4 in that ROM. Yes, rebooting to another ROM there can also result in data loss.
8- You will now have the same data across all those ROMs :victory:
I've tried sharing WhatsApp, Google Chrome, a game and Tapatalk and all these work perfectly fine.
Bugs:
I haven't seen any (of the app, do NOT report ROM bugs here)
If you find any, provide logs. If it was while installing provide the recovery.log from TWRP>Settings>Copy logs to SD
If ROM not booting, flash GetLogs.zip from the website (link: https://snapshots.noobdev.io/misc/getlogs/GetLogs-20160120.zip)
If a ROM is not booting, don't worry, reboot to recovery, and flash the DualBootUtilities.zip and switch to primary ROM.
N.B.: The touch screen doesn't work in AROMA on our device. So, navigate using volume buttons. It's a bit weird, but you'll get you used to it.
Yes, it's risky. That's why you should have a nandroid backup.
I'll try to help you as much as I can, but I'm not a dev. So, if you provide logs, I'll see and if it is something new, I'll tell the dev. He is usually busy.
N.B.: This whole post was written on my phone, so it's bad, I know. I'll edit it when I get time.
Please press thanks if I have helped you.
Good guide but if the roms support sdcard as default storage then its worth dual booting

Why? You can dualboot no matter what's your default write disk. You must just have enough free space. Using 4 roms currently, my default disk is internal storage and my primary rom has a tons of apps installed. Btw @sandeep.sethi I'm having problems trying to dualboot your latest AICP rom. :laugh: 5 fast vibrations and back to recovery.

This is easy. I'll guess you're installing MIUI or CM right? Because these roms usually contains this limitation about "hermes" only devices. Just open the updater-script which can be found in META-INF/com/google/android path, open it as text via some root file manager and edit it removing the following lines:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "hermes" || abort("This package is for \"hermes\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
Success.
Hey @Salman A. bro I have a little update on your question about that can we install a VibeUI on extsd-slot or in any other slot different than primary. Good news - it works like a charm, screen attached from last night when I was again playing with flashing roms on my phone lol.
Installed VibeUI_1604_ST on extsd-slot all working, I just edited the updater-script to prevent boring errors like that one above removing these line:
Code:

So now running VibeUI from my extsd card lol, I flashed it just to confirm it's possible, but I think I'll wipe it and flash it again as primary because I mostly play games on VibeUI and I don't want to run a heavy game from my extsd while the entire phone system is also running from the card. It will slow down the things.
Meanwhile I still can't make the AICP rom by sandeep a multiboot ready. Sometimes it hangs at the logo, sometimes vibrates 5 times and reboots back to recovery. I posted at the dualboot thread and really hope that Chen will help me.

Hey @Salman A. bro I have a little update on your question about that can we install a VibeUI on extsd-slot or in any other slot different than primary. Good news - it works like a charm, screen attached from last night when I was again playing with flashing roms on my phone lol.
Installed VibeUI_1604_ST on extsd-slot all working, I just edited the updater-script to prevent boring errors like that one above removing these line:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.model") == "Lenovo K50-t5" || abort("This package is for \"Lenovo K50-t5\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.model") + "\".");

Wait! I forgot to mention that I also tried VibeUI_1606 from needrom and it while it had instaled fine it doesn't boot! Got stucked at the logo... I don't know for the other MM roms, you may want to try 1605 as I already tried 1606 and as you can see without success. So may be no multiboot for MM for now...if you have enouh space on internal you may try and report. So the bottom line:
VIBEUI_1604_ST Android 5.1 is working
VIBEUI_1606_DEV Android 6.0 won't boot.
Phone: Lenovo K3 Note
ROM: 04_K3_NOTE_5.1_1604_STABLE_ROW_004_CUOCO92
Kenrnel fix successful but in primary ROM While updating ram disk it gave error
log file attached
Please help
Using the latest Dualboot 2162 build with the VibeUI_3.1_1606 - can't update the ramdisk and also not indicating that the primary rom is the currently running.
I still can switch to other rom via the utilities zip so for now it's a compromise that I chose to make.

Which is your ROM??
It's because of the ro.build.product of your build.prop

Now I have installed k3 note mm 6.0 ui 3.5 dev 1605 row cuoco92 as the primary ROM.
And again same error I m having. But now it is saying this device is aio otfp m. Please help. Even I m not able to update ramdisk.
911-Future_Maker said:
This is easy. I'll guess you're installing MIUI or CM right? Because these roms usually contains this limitation about "hermes" only devices. Just open the updater-script which can be found in META-INF/com/google/android path, open it as text via some root file manager and edit it removing the following lines:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "hermes" || abort("This package is for \"hermes\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
Success.

You have to change ro.build.product to aio_otfp without _m in your build.prop. If you are still trying that zip, you will still have to edit the updater-script. My advice, don't use it. That's very old. Try the new CM 12.1 Beta 3

For this fix to work you need zip of two different ROMs one with working adopted sd and other is the rom you want to flash ( the one showing corrupted sd card when you try to format it as internal eg- cm).
I recommend you to use orion as the first zip (the one with working adopted sd).
Now follow these steps:-
1- Flash the first zip in which adopted is working fine.
2-format your sd card as internal
3- using any root explorer copy misc folder from data and paste it in your sd card
4-now perform a clean flash of your desired ROM (dont wipe sd card)
5- before rebooting go to file manager of twrp copy misc folder that you copied in step 3 to the data folder.
6- reboot , you will notice you have a working adopted sd (no need to format it again).
Well its long method but it would surely work and you can switch roms without loosing adopted sd data with the same method.
Feel free to ask if you didn't get something.

Either you dirty flash the 2nd rom or copy the misc folder. It's the same thing.
Isn't it's easier to dirty flash rather copying and pasting things?
And success rate with this method is 100 % for every rom

Maybe.
Since after flashing the first rom, the only thing we're supposed to setup is the google account and no other user apps. Since we are dirty flashing the second rom, there's no messing with data partition. So chances of having bootloop is very low.

Hello, everyone! Phoenix OS version2.5.0 released. in this version we update kernel to 4.13 which will support more hardware.
As I know it will support some hardwares like AMD A4-6210/ AMD Radeon R3 Graphics/I7 7XXX/Nvidia 10xxx/ and so on. any news please check the update details.
Update Details
- update kernel to v4.13;
- all smart casting key support customize;
- Game helper support camera now ;
- fix some bug caused by screen recorder;
- fix other bugs caused by handle's
Link: http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=7470
Any chance this version would fix video playback issues I was having across multiple apps?
For people who like to auto generate a grub entry to run from same HD as linux, you can try my script: 50_PhoenixOS
Disclaimer: I have not tried this latest Phoenix OS v2.5.0 yet, but im going to download it now. (I just saw this thread)
*edit*
Ok downloaded and tried to install this version (PhoenixOSInstaller_v2.5.0.267_x86_x64.iso) in a Debian9's VM (Virtual Machine Manager), and it failed to install !
I can't login on their forum due to an incompatibility with Firefox Nightly, so can't inform them about it.
I will extract the needed files for the script like i did for previous version and see if it works at all...

Mouse Problem
I am using Phoenix OS on VMware. Version 2.2.1.247 works fine on VM. But I am having problem in 2.5.0. I am unable to use mouse in phoenix os. Can any one help me why this is happening.
@pietras83
Download gms latest for x86_64 from apkmirror .now reboot pos with DEBUG=1 kernel flag and replace it with orig one inside /system/priv-app/gms**/*.apk .be sure to move downloaded apk to move into root partition in which you have installed pos.
Or
Simply if rooted (guide by meanhacker) ,using es file explorer, replace it. Or
Just use alt+f1 ,mv and overwrite gms apk files as expected .

Guys, I want to install either phoenix or remix os (dual boot along with windows 10), but I cannot resize my partition to 16384 MB even though I've got about 25 GB free space on that disk. Is it the windows files that take up that much space or..? Anyway - does the partition have to be exactly 16384 MB or can it be less, for example 8 gigs?
Does this version work on NVIDIA GTX 970?

Alright, so I can create a new partition out of my C: Drive and I can resize it to 4096 MB or 8192 MB without any problems? Are you sure it is going to work for dual boot? Every tutorial on youtube always says to put 16384 MB, so I don't know now.
@pannicz Think Technically ,It will surely work but that 2gb Data img will not be enough if you are going to install a lot apps or big games .
Do it like this .
First of all create a dedicated partition for This OS.Now format it into ext2 or fat32 (if you willing to use max 4gb data parttition).now copy iso files in this .And download grub2win and open it ,install grub bootloader through it and add android-x86 entry but change the lines
Like
Code:
/Android/kernel to /kernel
By using custom boot lines or
Simply copy iso files from root to /Android/* in the partition .
Now boot with grub2 win by choosing it in boot menu by pressing F12 or whatever .
Use ext2 file explorer to create /data/ folder like /Android/data/ in the new ext2 partition.
Tip:-
No need to create seperate partition if you want data.img using rmxtools .u can just use installer tool.
Use ext2 formatted partition if you are willing to use data folder since it will preserve file perms.
this build breaks my sound and ethernet is not working anymore,.

The one thing I hate more than anything; one could easily say the Grand Master of them all; is when people perpetuate the "truth" by saying [something along the lines of] "You can't do it."; that just makes my blood boil with rage, because while they may, or may not know the "answer", they already have the "solution" well within their grasp. Well, I know the solution, not answer, the solution; just find the (or, even code, if necessary) file, or set of files that allows the older kernel to communicate with you mouse, and replace/insert the corresponding code/file/files in the new kernel, with that of the old kernel. Simple lodgic; it's not that complicated.
So, I was permabanned from the Phoenix OS forums for asking the same question I asked at the beginning of this thread regarding video playback issues I was having, marked apparently as "spam"? Care to explain that?
Hi mates, sry to interrupt other discussions anyway do you think there's any chance to get some newer version of android on PCs equipped with cpu that don't support SSE4? I have a 64bit machine but for now I have to run the 32bit version (older kernel and android) and it would be nicer to run the newer versions.
Just wanted to put this question in the thread, I'm sorry but for now I can't help with any video playback issue
