Following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534 you'll find an app called Dual Boot Patcher.
With this app you can patch ROMs for dual booting. No need for special recovery, no need for kernel with kexec patch. You can even flash the ROMs from within the app. Only thing thats missing for now is backup and recovery, but according to the dev it will be implemented.
How To:
1. Download the app here https://snapshots.noobdev.io/ and install.
2. In the app go to ROMs. There you'll find your current ROM. press the three dots and choose "Set Kernel". Now you're ready for patching and flashing you first ROM.
3. Choose "Patch zip-file" from the main menu. There you choose which slot. On OnePlus One you have to choose Data (rom gets installed on data partition) as our system partition is to small to support multiple roms. After the Rom you can patch gapps and other files to flash (supersu, v4a, etc) the patched files end with data-slot-xx.zip e.g. cm13.zip -> cm13data-slot-01.zip
4. now you can flash the patched files either in recovery or directly in the app.
Coming from the LG G2 which had no MultiROM I'm using this app for a long time with no problem. Right now i have 3 Roms on my phone. Primary is AOSParadox 5.1.1, data slots are Sultans cm12.1 and Omni 6.0
That's very cool, thank you for sharing I will be trying it
Tried the app in s4, quite useful one also having support for app sharing... I thought it never supports one plus one... Well try..

Thanks for sharing mate. BTW, is there any possibility of a hard-brick? Since i barely get any free time from my job and opo is my primary & only device, i really can't go through all the hassle of recovering from a hard brick.
Gave it a try. Didn't work on patching zip. Threw an error code - 15

Honestly I don't know. I've used it a lot on my G2 and my OPO. Never bricked anything. If it happens that the patched ROM does not boot just boot into recovery and flash the boot.img of your primary ROM. You can find the boot.img at data\multiboot\primary.

Strange. Never had an error while patching zip files. Did you use the patcher app on your phone or the windows version? I never tried the windows version.

i don't believe u will hard brick due to its flashed to the system or data, so all u have to do is make a nandroid backup 1st, and if things go wrong, like above just flash ur boot image or just restore ur nandroid.
Same here. Got an error code 15 while trying to patch
Also, does it matter what data slot ID you enter?
@ tropenfrucht This is very helpful feature and I have been using it for over a month and the best part is easy to use keep up the good work.
Great mate
Do i have uninstall multirom first or may I have both systems?

Is there any way to install a ROM into recovory mode, similer to what the Ubuntu Touch Duel Boot installer does but with different ROMs
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device, I have Windows and Ubuntu if adb tools are required and the device is quickly on hand to test
The OS has not been flashed (To my knowlage) and is using the stock ROM the device came with
Thank you in advance
Are you asking if you can install a ROM in recovery partition? If so I doubt it as it would be to small for an OS
Otherwise can you clarify a bit?

Yes, sorry if I'm being a bit dumb :silly: but that's the idea of it, like what the Ubuntu Touch Installer app can do but for something else (Like cyanogenmod just to try it) if that's possible
Never used Ubuntu touch installer so I'm not sure how it works, but I can't imagine any OS being able to fit inside the recovery partition, is it maybe that it allows for a dual boot option?

Maybe, but I could access it though the recovery mode option, I might have just booted from recovery and stored the OS elsewhere (I really don't have knowlage of how stuff works or I would have made an account here ages ago)
Well there are some devices with dual boot options but I don't believe anyone has made this for the nexus 10 to date
A simple way of having this is to create a nandroid backup of a ROM on your device and whenever you want to change, boot to recovery, make backup of current ROM, wipe, restore backup of other ROM, reboot
May not he ideal but only takes a few minuets to do

Ok thanks, I'll get a device that supports duel-booting when I can afford it (Nexus 5 here I come) Ubuntu Touch doesn't work too well for me
To the best of my knowledge there is one main developer out there who does this mod, maybe ask him if he is willing to support the nexus10

Did you get any PMs or figure anything out, other than Xposed and Gravitybox. That's how I get an extended reboot menus like you get in CM builds.

Haven't received any information at all. I did attempt to do it from this Post but failed for some reason and my tablet wouldn't boot, just stuck on logo. Not thought of xposed module at all because I would think it would act as a third party app. Those do not get along well with the TWRP 3.0.2-1 recovery by @ashyx. If you use 3rd party app to reboot to recovery with that version, you'll be stuck in recovery and not be able to boot to system until you reinstall the recovery with same instructions as first time you install it.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0 by @ashyx and I use the reboot function in Gravitybox and it is working just fine for me with no bootloops. I will look into how to add the reboot function into the rom and see if I come up with anything and if I do, I will be sure to let you know.
I tried @ashyx 2.8.7 twrp but touches were way out of line so had to go back to 3.0.2 recovery. I think it has to do with the MM 6.0.1 firmware.

I use Simple Reboot for now. Still holding out hope someone can make a restart menu. :cyclops:
A+ for simple reboot, been using it on a few different androids and no problems.
Hi all,
Have had my Nexus 10 with a few years now and rooted it not long after I got it, stuck with stock rom though.
All was fine until I updated to the latest LMY49H Build using NRT (Nexus Root Toolkit) which I always do and it has never let me down.
But with this update I get the swirling balls, Android boot screen then about 10 minutes of "Android is starting... Optimising app xx of xx". I have wiped via settings, via recovery (TWRP and stock), Flash Stock and Unroot (NRT), Root (NRT which wipes data), cleared cache, dalvik, data using TWRP but every time I end up with this optimising apps screen.
I have tried restoring previous versions at setup (apps, wallpapers etc.) and I have skipped all setup options for a clean fresh copy but always with the same result.
I have been looking around but didn't find someone running stock rom with the same problem, If I missed it then I'm sorry.
Please someone help me as I'm going on a trip soon and will need my tablet!
Could be your flash memory is wearing out. When you are using TWRP try copying a file then reboot into TWRP and see if the file is still there. If it is gone it is bad flash memory and you need a new motherboard...

Sorry I don't get what you mean. do you mean to flash a file? (or at least see if TWRP finds the file?)
e.g. copy a file, supersu.zip or something in downloads folder, then boot into TWRP to see if its in the folder ready to flash?
Oh I hope its not the motherboard, the tablet has hardly been used compared to others I know of.
Do you know if its safe to revert to a previous version of android using NRT? LMY49H or even G? I was happy enough with those versions and only updated thinking it would clear the security update (7.2mb) which I ended up doing manually anyway (Unroot & Update, install security update, Root).
I had a problem like this years ago when I flashed a ROM to my old Galaxy S4, flashing a different ROM fixed the problem then, I'm hoping it will now too!
Thanks for your help

Not flash your memory but check your: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory
And yes it is safe to restock (another) ROM.

Right, I mean just copy a file to it that is not already there and rebooting it and seeing if the file is still there.
If it works then you probably don't have a hardware issue.
It is always worth trying to flash a known working rom, though you may need to hard reset to get it working.

OK cool, thanks for clearing that up..
This literally just started when I updated to the new ROM (LMY49J). I have done a full wipe already so hard reset shouldn't be a problem, nothing left on it now anyway. Think I may have done it already tho
Before the update I had a full TV series and a few movies saved into it and it had no problems playing/saving anything. Think I may try stock flash & unroot with LMY49H and see how that goes.. I'm away from it at the moment so hopefully will try tomorrow.
I have a feeling it is saving files though, displayed my old wallpaper when I restored from previous tablet option on setup. Must be saving this picture somewhere after initial download at setup. It is booting up eventually like, just after it optimizes the apps, maybe 5-10min.
What other issues could I be having?
You really have to create or copy something new and reboot the tablet to test. Files and setting will stay in the cache and so give the illusion working unless you reboot.
Also are you doing a clean shutdown via the menu after hitting the power button for no more than 2 seconds? Doing power off without going through menu can cause your behavior.

You have to copy something in recovery mode with twrp. From a different directory (or usb stick to your device) and then reboot to see if it is still there.
I need a software to deodex my a500H
Also debloat and zipalign.
I wish to port and develop roms for my device. Anyone please help.

Oh ok. Maybe it's not compatible then. I've only used it for A310 and works fine.
Did you factory reset before flash?
If you're on linux you can try super kitchen. I've never tried it though.

It looks like a few A500x roms are done with assayyed so it should probably work.
If you're building from stock tar.md5 you can just put the whole fw in there.
The partitions we want from it is system, cache, boot, and sometimes hidden if it's present. The kitchen will extract it for you and include the files to system.
Now, just do the changes you want and before you build rom zip just make sure you only have boot.img, system and meta/aroma-folders in your working space.
If you used auto debloat option, try do it manually instead and only remove apk's that you know what it is.
If you added build.prop tweaks, try without them.
Try find a way that gives you a flashable zip without bootloop.
If it won't work hopefully someone with A500 can give you more help.

1. I've had this phone for more than 2 months now and I've been modding my phone ever since, no problems whatsoever.
2. I didn't try removing Google stuff from the phone but some people have done it. Search around for that as i don't know exactly.
3. Lineage and most other roms are perfectly fine. I personally Recommend AEX but Lineage is also very good.
4. I personally think the phone will still be supported even after official support is over since there's pretty much a new rom every other week so I don't think you need to worry about support for the next 2-3 years

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0-touch-recovery-t3688472
It's called "Twrp installer"
You need to flash it immediately after you flash a rom because once you flash any rom, twrp will be overwritten by stock recovery so you have to flash twrp installer
