OVERVIEW
ROM Installer, by JRummy Apps, is the best way to find and install custom ROMs and ZIPs. It is a must have app for any root user.
You will find more ROMs available than any other app on the Google Play Store. It has many of the same features you will find in Goo Manager, ROM Manager, ZipInstaller and other similar products.
Installing ROMs like Android Open Kang Project (AOKP), CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Miui and others is easy. Some devices will not show as many ROMs because of the lack of support for that specific device. Please contact your ROM developer to add their ROM to ROM Installer or goo.im
ROM Installer also offers the fastest way to install the most recent recovery. All TWRP recoveries are hosted on our fast server and updated on a constant basis. No other app offers an easier way.
DOWNLOAD ROM
What is a ROM?
A ROM is a modified version of the Android OS. ROMs are often built from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) with added features. ROM Installer offers many popular ROMs to download for supported devices, including CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, MIUI and AOKP (Android Open Kang Project). There are countless other ROMs and ZIPs you can install too.
ROM Downloads & Details
When you first open ROM Installer a list of supported device will be loaded. You must have an internet connection to list the most recent ROMs. Wifi is highly recommended when downloading ROMs because they are usually large ZIP files.
When clicking on a ROM in the list you will be presented with the ROM details page. This page offers screenshots, comments, likes, view counts, descriptions, a list of files to download and install and links to the ROM developer’s social media sites.
How To: Download & Install a ROM
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Click on the ROM Developer of your choice.
3. Under the ‘Download’ section click the ‘Download’ button from the quickaction menu.
4. The file will be downloaded in a background service and notify you when completed.
5. Once the download is complete, click the notification and it will open a new ROM Install activity.
6. In the ROM Installer select the option to wipe and backup your current ROM (optional but suggested).
7. Click install and confirm to reboot your device into recovery mode.
Tips and Tricks:
Before installing a ROM you should always know how to ‘unbrick’ your device incase anything should go wrong. Installing custom operating systems can be dangerous and rooting most likely voids your warranty. JRummy Apps Inc. claims no responsibility for any damaged or ‘bricked’ devices, loss of data or any other damage that could come from installing third party operating systems.
Always remember to have a current backup and keep your apps and data backed up. Forum members at websites like XDA-Developers or RootzWiki are helpful tools when you have questions about flashing a new ROM or ZIP.
BACKUP & RESTORE
What is a nandroid backup?
A Nandroid backup is a backup of your entire Android system saved to your SDcard. Due to the possibility of anything going wrong when changing aspects of the Android system, we highly recommend that you have a current Nandroid Backup. By having a current Nandroid backup you can manually restore your device through recovery.
How To: Create a Nandroid Backup
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Click menu -> Create Backup
3. Enter the desired name of the backup (no spaces allowed)
4. Click ‘OK’ and then confirm to reboot into recovery mode.
How To: Restore a Nandroid Backup
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Slide from left to right to open the sliding drawer.
3. Click ‘BACKUP & RESTORE’
4. Select the backup you want to manage or restore
5. Click ‘Restore’ and then confirm to reboot into recovery mode.
How To: Extract Files from a Nandroid
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Slide from left to right to open the sliding drawer.
3. Click ‘BACKUP & RESTORE’
4. Select the backup you want to manage or restore
5. Click ‘Extract’ and then select which tar file you would like work with.
6. You will see two tabs (Files, Apps). You can extract and restore app data and files from previous backups.
Tips and Tricks:
ROM Installer supports both TWRP and CWMR backups. You need to have the correct recovery installed to restore a backup (TWRP backups cannot be restored in CWMR). If you update your recovery manually don’t forget to update the recovery settings in ROM Installer.
Upgrading ROM Installer enabled the ‘Extract’ feature. This can be used to restore apps and old system files quickly. More features and planned in this section for the future.
Things You Should Know:
Creating a backup requires you to install a custom recovery. ROM Installer supports TWRP and CWM recovery. Please read more about recoveries in the ‘FLASH RECOVERY’ section.
FLASH RECOVERY
Things You Should Know:
After rooting your Android device, installing a recovery is the most important next step. What is recovery? In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A custom recovery offers much more than the default recovery that comes pre-installed on your device. It allows you to install custom ROMs, wipe partitions and restore your phone when ‘soft bricked’. Before rooting and changing anything you should become familiar with a custom recovery.
ROM Installer goes to great lengths to get you the most recent recovery for your device. It has thousands of recoveries hosted on our fast servers to meet your rooting needs. ROM Installer is the easiest way to install your favorite custom recovery.
How To: Install a Custom Recovery
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Slide from left to right to open the sliding drawer.
3. Click ‘FLASH RECOVERY’. A list of supported recoveries for your device will be listed.
4. Select the recovery of your choice and click ‘Yes’ to confirm your install.
5. The recovery will download to your SDcard and be installed.
6. To reboot into recovery mode you can click the menu -> Reboot Recovery.
Supported Recoveries:
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
We recommend that you use Team Win Recovery (TWRP). TWRP will allow you to easily install any ROM using ROM Installer. TWRP is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. TWRP is built off AOSP recovery and has the standard recovery options and much more. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Clockworkmod Recovery (CWMR)
ClockworkMod Recovery is popular and has been around for years. Unfortunately this developer blocked all other apps from using the official version of ClockworkMod recovery unless ROM Manager Premium is installed on the device. If you choose to use CWMR then ROM Installer needs ROM Manager to install custom ROMs.
After you have selected the recovery you would like to use just tap on it. The recovery will download and install.
ROM INSTALLER
Things You Should Know:
Installing multiple ZIP packages at once has never been easier with ROM Installer. You can drag and drop files to order when each flashable ZIP will be installed. Before your recovery installs any packages, you can choose to backup your current ROM and wipe data and cache partitions.
How To: Install a Custom ROM
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Download the ROM and any extra packages (Like GAPPS). Use the ROM list to navigate and install your favorite ROM.
3. Once the ROM download is finished click on the notification to open the ROM Installer
4. Select to backup your current ROM and wipe data and cache if desired/required.
5. Click ‘INSTALL’ and confirm to reboot into recovery mode and install your ROM
ROM PRE-INSTALLATION:
Backup Existing ROM: This will create a backup in your recoveries default backup directory that you can restore later. You can locate your backup in the ‘BACKUP & RESTORE’ section after you install your ROM/ZIPs.
Wipe Data and Cache: This will wipe any apps and data. It is important to backup your apps and data before installing a ROM. You can use ROM Toolbox’s App Manager or another of your favorite backup apps to easily restore app data afterward.
Install Queue: To add ZIP packages to the install queue click on the ‘ADD ZIP’ button. You can either add a flashable ZIP package via a built in file browser or from the files saved in the download database that ROM Installer manages. Once you have added your ZIP packages you can re-order them using the drag and drop feature, slide them to the right or left to remove them from the list and click them to see more information about the file.
Installing ROMs & ZIPs:
The ROM Installation depends on your custom recovery. When you click on the ‘INSTALL’ button (located at the bottom of the screen) it will ask you to confirm to reboot into recovery and install the ZIP package.
If you are using an officially built version of ClockworkMod recovery then ROM Manager is needed to install a single ZIP package. If you want to install multiple ZIP packages and also use the official version of CWMR then ROM Manager Premium also needs to be installed in order for ROM Installer to work correctly in recovery mode.
ROM UPDATES
Receiving notifications for ROM updates:
Installing the latest build of your ROM can become exciting and addicting to see the new features. The ROM Update service provided in ROM Installer checks for new ROMs on goo.im and the individual developer’s server (if enabled).
How To: Enable ROM Notifications
1. Download and install ROM Installer from Google Play.
2. Open the sliding drawer and select ‘ROM UPDATES’
3. Select the time interval (from the dropdown menu) and the time of day to run the service.
4. Make sure the Switch is set to ‘ON’
5. If an update is available you will see a notification in your app drawer. Clicking on the notification will start a new activity to download the ZIP from ROM Installer or goo.im.
GOO MANAGER
GOO Manager Features:
- Browse compatible ROMs and ZIPs for your device
- Browse and search any file hosted by hundreds of developers
- Sponsor login for faster downloads
- ROM Installer for downloaded flashable ZIPs
- Download thelatest Google Apps (GAPPS) hosted on goo.im
- Installe the latest recovery by Open Recovery hosted on goo.im
- Receive update notifications when goo.im developers add new ROMs
Things You Should Know:
The website, goo.im, is a popular hosting site for ROM developers. The Goo Manager built into ROM Installer offers all the features found in the official app from goo.im. Many of the ROMs available in ROM Installer are hosted on goo.im. For faster downloads you can donate to goo.im to get instant downloads instead of waiting 10 seconds. Donations to goo.im do not support JRummy Apps Inc.
If you would like to have direct access to the Goo Manager from your launcher you can enable this feature in ROM Installer Settings.

You forgot zipme!!
does this mean ROM manager in the Toolbox will be no longer updated? thanks
hi,
could you add PA-Google Apps? Because they offer a minimal gapps package as well. For me, i only need a few of the google apps.
Can i only resotre apps+data from nandroid backup? Or is it "advanced restore" -> "data" ?
Does Rom Installer notify me when a new recovery update is released?
1. Just added PA gapps
2. You can extract apps from a nandroid backup. Click on the backup and click extract.
3. Yes, it will notify you of recovery updates.

I have successfully rooted my T230 and installed TWRP 2.8.0.1. I now want to update the Google system apps with the latest available. I currently do this on my HTC One X running CM11 with the PA-GAPPs from here. I also modify the .zip file contents with the latest when they come out - I usually check here.
Now I tried this on the T230 and the script starts but exits saying 'Incompatible GApps Currently Installed' - I wasn't expecting it to work to be honest.....
I still want to update the Google system apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app to the current ones as the ones in the OTA ROM are fairly out of date. I know I can let the Play store update them to the current ones, however I wipe the device frequently and would prefer not to have to go through this each time. There are apps on the play store that let you move system apps and to user apps and vice versa which I have used before however its a faf each time they get updated as you need to make the system app a user app, let it automatically update or manually update it yourself with the .apk file and then move it back to system/app.
I'd prefer a flashable .zip I can install from recovery?

Well, I haven't tried flashing a Gapps zip but I agree that the apps are really outdated and would be too much to update each time you factory reset/wipe the device.
One way of doing this as you have mentioned: Remove the current Gapps. But I'm not sure it works for the play services. But even doing this may lead to the same error while flashing the zip.
Second way, as you said yourself, would be to make them as user apps and update them and make them system apps again. Which would take some time. But it seems the best method here.
The last way, specific to your case, is to wipe the device, update the apps and finally make a nandroid backup. Next time, instead of wiping, just restore the backup.
There can also be other ways to flash the zip in traditional manner but I think it would require a chance in the updater script of the package. (While you're at it, make sure you're flashing Kitkat 4.4 Gapps and not L Gapps.)
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to integrate/push Apps into System Partition beside using flashable ZIP file? For a long time Link2SD, LP and Titanium Backup did the trick, but now they all don't work.
Pushing an update (for example Play Store App) to system will just add the APK and not replace old one, so you have the App twice.
Pushing an installed User App to system will make it disappear, while it is wasting space in system partition. It's just not recognized by Android.
Right now (MM/6.0.1 ROM), the only working method I know of doing it is flashing ZIP file in Recovery or Flashfire. Is there any other working method? Preferably a script or an App that is still working on G900F with MM Stock ROM?
Hey there, I'm proud to present the first dual boot project for the Galaxy J2 (all variants).
This will allow any number of ROMs to be installed at the same time. It works by patching the secondary ROM's installation scripts and boot image to load the ROM files from an alternate location (/system/multiboot, /cache/multiboot, and /data/multiboot). Because of the way this is implemented, no changes to the primary ROM are necessary
So, first things first :
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Custom kernels for dual boot support
ROMs so that they can be installed as secondary
Google Apps packages for AOSP-based ROMs
SuperSU so that it can be used in the secondary ROM
NOTE: If you want to dualboot a TouchWiz ROM, I highly recommend installing TW as the primary ROM. Otherwise, any mods will need to be patched before flashing.
How to use the patcher
Code:
[B]Android
[/B]
Download the patcher apk and run it. Tap "Patch Zip File" from the navigation drawer and choose the file you want to patch.
[B]Windows (GUI)[/B]
Double click DualBootPatcher.exe and choose the file you want to patch.
--------
After patching the zip file, a new file, like some_rom_dual.zip file will be created. For example, patching ktoonsez's
Romname_dual.zip
would create a new
Rom_name_dual.zip
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and the DualBootUtilities.zip from the download section below.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Dual: Dual/Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: There can be an unlimited number of extsd slots. These install to the external SD card, which is useful as it keeps the ROMs off of the internal storage. Note that the ROM's data files are still stored on the data partition.
With that said, let's get to the "how to"!
First, boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
Go to "Patch zip file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. You can select one of the installation locations described above.
There are two ways of flashing the patched zip file. You can either flash it normally from recovery or flash it using the in-app flashing feature. Both methods are explained below.
Flashing from recovery
To flash from recovery, just flash the patched zip file like you would for any other zip. Nice and simple.
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.
A normal backup from recovery will backup every ROM. If you would like to back up ROMs individually, please see @rlorange's awesome tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2491299
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it

Oh right. I don't know if op patched something about this, but originally touchwiz roms don't work with DualBoot, not even Hades.

Ok, that makes sense, I tried a different version on my note5 and it didn't work either. The OP said to set Tw rom as primary though, is there a way to do that?
Edit: Would it work to flash lineage os, install dualboot, and then flash touchwiz as primary?
Do ROMs boot normally from an SD card? Or are they a bit slow?

Depends on the SD Card ;p
But, in my experience, SD is slower than internal memory
Where to get the DualBootUtilities? Cant find them in this thread. Can I use the official ones from the website? Or can I just install the App and im fine?

Try a custom ROM like lineage os and it should fix that error. However, when I updated ramdisk through dual boot on lineage os 16, my internal storage would quit showing up in stock file manager and downloads would fail. Haven't tried on any other ROM s though.
DualBootUtilities.zip?

Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and the DualBootUtilities.zip from the download section below.

Great job ,thanks. I did'nt find the download link "DualBootUtilities.zip"
I am getting an error 1 while flashing a patched ROM. It looks like the ROMs aren't compatible by looking at the logs. Don't know if that is the correct verdict though.
