I'm not making new 2nd-init updaters (it's been integrated in full ROMs which I'm not releasing here), and I will not update 2nd-init alone anymore.
But I will update Bootmenu here instead when I can.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so i've kind of integrated dexter's 2nd-init and the korean guy's bootmenu into one flashable zip file.
big thanks to all the devs for making this possible
NOTE:
it's based on dexter_nlb's method which uses only shell scripts, it should work on many other devices in principal, ms2/d2/dx etc. of course you need to modify the .rc and other defy specific files.
this method only relys on 2nd-init by @Skrilax_CZ, it's compatible but does not rely on bootmenu.
starting v2 you can actually remove bootmenu binary while still able to boot into bootstrap. in fact v3.2 contains nothing from the "bootmenu" method (otherwise identical to v3.1)
i do not seek to optimize your system, all parameters changed are to give you a clear evidence that all the parts are indeed functioning, so quit whinging and mod the scripts yourself
just for show casing purpose, it includes the following features
-extra cpufreq governors, smartass by default
-lowmemorykiller value changed
-init.d enabled, including a undervolting script @800/50, 600/40, 300/30
all *.rc taken from 3.4.2-164 release, so i suppose anything close to that will do
usage:
0. clean up any other hijacking other than logwrapper hijaking!! including the oringinal one by koreans
1. root & install clockwork mod recovery
2. flash the zip attached
3. remove clockwork recovery if you wish, DON'T use "install recovery" option, it will mess up 2nd-init.
4. 2nd-init will load automatically, press vol-down while blue led is on to enter bootmenu
NOTE: when applying zip patch, sometimes it will fail with "resource busy", enable adbd from bootmenu
before enter cmw will fix that.
v2
-updated to cmw 2.5.1.8
-remove prior installation by default
-normal "boot recovery" or rather "/data/.recovery_mode" should work now,
just don't use "install recovery"
-adbd will start shortly after 2nd-init, while starting either cmw or bootmenu
-300s delay for overclock script (compatible with any 2.2.x kernel sans chinese one)
v3
-replaced overclock with sysctl to be more compatible
-remove changes made by bootstrap
-included a special version of bootstrap which should overide the default one (kb7sqi's version)
-boot to bootstrap via a blank file named /sdcard/cwm_boot enabled
-boot to bootstrap will turn off the blue led now
v3 removed due to faulty cwm replacer
v4
-added windows installer, it's both installable via cwm or windows/adb (windows installer does not work on some setup)
-updated to newer bootmenu
-you can completely bypass bootmenu without losing 2ndinit by place a blank file called /sdcard/boot_bypass, boot into recovery changed to /sdcard/boot_cwm)
-2nd-init option (which is in fact 3rd boot) from bootmenu should work
-bootstrap cwm will be properly removed
v5
-updated bootmenu to 0.4.5
-removed windows installer
-removed most changes in *.rc,
now it only loads init.d and changes 1 pair of lowmemorykiller parameters
IT'S NOT QUITE FINISHED, BUT GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Nice. Even i'm not a dev will try this and report any problems =)
Thanks
Will it 2nd-init by default? Is it possible to set it to 2nd-init by default? Is it possible to enable adb from start with default.prop?
after flashing this zip i'was unable to boot.
At the point where the blue led should light up the phone turns off(it doesn't light up).
I had the "normal" custom bootmenu already installed. maybe that was the problem.
It would make more sense to have zip which can be installed with adb, since bootmenu already has recovery, and messing different hijacks can lead to bad consequences. Great effort still
ill test it with stock rom and stock bootloader.

i'm using logwrapper hijacking instead of mount_ext3. so yes they don't work together.

i don't see why you can't, in fact i did enable 2nd-init and adbd by default, commands both
from init.rc (init.d) and init.mapphone_umts.rc (all other mods) are properly executed

true, but it takes a lot more time to write and follow the instructions than this
and i suppose anyone who find it useful can turn it into adb commands in a few minutes.
plus i wasn't trying to explaining anything but merely showcasing the possibility
I've installed 2nd-init not as default (just copied 2nd-init, sysinit, busybox and /etc/rootfs) and i must say it works. However, despite having persist.service.adb.enable=1 adb does not start until gui (or usb service?) so it's not useful yet.
I think it's better to wait bootmenu enhanced to support settings for default init, etc. This zip is too quick&dirty and it has overclock.ko tailored to specific kernel address so it will bootloop for many.

why exactly did you need adb enabled automatically? you can manually enable it in bootmenu.
and the overclock.ko address is tailored for ALL 2.2.x kernels as does setvsel with an exception of the chinese one, so why would you care? and any one with even slightest knowledge on this topic could rectify it by simply removing the script.
i did say this is just a showcase and it's not finished, didn't i?

most of the draw backs fixed.
i still don't understand why would you wait for something close-sourced for the moment, untested, while we have a simple script which can already do the trick, rely on nothing but plain shell script and tested on dexter's mod for months now?

I just need to test the 2nd-Init. If works, it is everything okay
2nd-init works fine, but if I choose Start ADB daemon, it writes something like - can't start 2nd-init, read only file system and continues booting normally with mismatched screen and after booting, the system works somehow weird, so restart is needed. I am using 3.4.2-145.

both adb and 2nd-init are started by default, 2nd-init from bootmenu will NOT work properly. because that'll be actually 3rd-init
Ok. But ADB is not working for me and I am affraid to turn it on in settings, if it's needed. Because I had the boot loop with the Korean bootmenu. Do I have to turn on USB Debugging?
Working! awsome! Couldnt do it with the other thread because couldnt push files with adb to /root/bootmenu. But flashing this zip with cwm did the trick.

adb works regardless of your system settings (well until 2nd init.rc kicks in at least), so i don't see why you need to turn off debugging.
i can't say for sure what went wrong with your system, but i assure you it will work on all clean 3.4.x systems
So....this means that we can have litle AOSP taste??
So now that 2nd init is working can I dream with Cyanogen Mod ported to Defy, just like the Milestone?
NEXT 2.1.8 placeholder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51678873&postcount=472
STOP! This kernel supports ONLY Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.x, 4.2.2, CM 10.1.x, 10.2, and 11.0 ROMs. It won't work on ICS, CM 9, CM 10.

Dual Boot FAQs
Adapted from droidphile's "Dual Boot FAQs" with permission.
1. "Why would I wanna dual-boot?"
A. You don't have to.
Suppose you're more of an aosp rom fan. But misses the HDMI out, bluetooth hands-free and love sammy camera more. Do a minimal installation of sammy rom and boot into it when in need of these features and use aosp rom otherwise.
Or you are a sammy rom fan but love the responsiveness and pure android feel of aosp roms.
And while you can dual boot two sammy or two aosp roms, it doesn't make any sense.
2. "What if I don't need dual booting?"
A. No issues. Kernel won't force to setup 2 roms. You can single boot as before.
3. "Will dual booting change my bootloader or do any dangerous stuff like setting my phone on fire?"
A. NO. Changes are at kernel and ramfs level only. Some space in your internal sd card is used, and also the unused hidden partition mmcblk0p11 is used to store cache of second rom. Dual booting doesn't repartition the filesystem or perform anything scary.
4. "I want to setup dual booting."
A. There are four situations:-
1) Sammy rom now. Want to use aosp as secondary.
2) Sammy rom now. Want to use aosp as primary.
3) Aosp rom now. Want to use sammy as secondary.
4) Aosp rom now. Want to use sammy as primary.
Prerequisites for any setup is
a) Flash latest blackhawk's NEXT kernel
b) Flash new ducati vendor blobs (since 1.8.x)
c) Flash latest PhilZ Touch - blackhawk repack version - recovery
d) Atleast 90% battery left.
e) 2 GB free on internal SD.
f) Some spare time
1) Present sammy, setup aosp as secondary:-
i) Reboot into recovery
ii) Flash blackhawk's NEXT tool, create system.img for CM/CM based ROM and then close it
iii) Reboot into secondary recovery
iv) Flash aosp ROM as 2nd ROM
v) Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again
vi) Flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
2) Present sammy, setup aosp as primary:-
i) Reboot into recovery
ii) Nandroid backup your current sammy ROM
iii) Flash blackhawk's NEXT tool, create system.img for Samsung stock/stock based ROM and then close it
iv) Reboot into secondary recovery
v) Nandroid restore your sammy ROM as 2nd ROM
vi) Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again
vii) Flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
viii) Reboot into primary recovery
ix) Flash aosp ROM as 1st ROM
x) Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again
xi) Flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
3) Present aosp, setup sammy as secondary:-
Same as (1), instead of flashing aosp to second, flash sammy to second.
4) Present aosp, setup sammy as primary:-
Same as (2), instead of flashing aosp to first ROM, flash sammy.
NOTE:
-To dual boot Two Aosp or Two Sammy roms, just follow (1) or (2) (depending on which one of them you want as primary/secondary), just flash Sammy instead of aosp or aosp instead of sammy.
5. "What things should I be taking care off while dealing with dual booting?"
A. - Make sure where you are: in primary or secondary recovery.
6. "How to boot into primary rom?"
A. AROMA based boot menu will help you on every boot.
7. "How to boot into secondary rom?"
A. AROMA based boot menu will help you on every boot.
8. "Is kernel partition shared?"
A. Yes. Same kernel boots both roms.
9. "If I flash another kernel (that doesn't support db) do I lose dual booting?"
A. Yes
10. "I lost dualbooting after flashing another kernel. I didn't do anything to second rom files in sdcard/.secondrom. How can I get db back?"
A. Just flash the latest blackhawk's NEXT kernel, flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
11. "Will there be any performance degradation on the rom used as secondary compared to primary?"
A. NO
12. "Will my phone run slow overall because of db?"
A. NO
13. "How to flash a newer version of 1st rom?"
A. As usual, just flash it from primary recovery. Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again, flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
14. "How to flash newer version of 2nd rom?"
A. Just flash it from secondary recovery. Flash blackhawk's NEXT kernel again, flash new ducati vendor blobs again (since 1.8.x)
15. "Would upgrading 1st or second rom cause other rom to fail on boot?"
A. No. Partitions of other rom are not touched during upgrading.
16. "I miss the recovery I used before, so much.."
A. PhilZ Touch not bad at all.
17. "User apps of 1st rom are automatically available for second rom?"
A. NO. However, if you had backed them up using Titanium Backup or similar apps, just restore apps while on second rom.
18. "I wanna keep separate backup for apps in both the Roms, since I use one Rom for say entertainment and other productivity."
A. Setup different backup directory in Titanium Backup in 1st and 2nd rom.
19. "I don't see STweaks app in second rom."
A. This is blackhawk's NEXT dual boot solution for Galaxy Tab 2, a free implementation of gokhanmoral's Siyah dual boot.
20. "Do I need to anything special before flashing a newer blackhawk's NEXT kernel?"
A. NO. Just flash kernel in primary and secondary recovery. Yes, on both 1st and 2nd ROM. Just flash kernel in recovery - whichever you used to do. Kernel image is copied to the unified kernel partition (since 1.4 version). Flash new ducati vendor blobs (since 1.8.x) on both ROM may be required to ensure vendor blobs match to the kernel
21. "How can I run same STweaks settings of 1st Rom in 2nd Rom?"
A. This is blackhawk's NEXT dual boot solution for Galaxy Tab 2, a free implementation of gokhanmoral's Siyah dual boot.
22. "How do I remove everything related to DB and run single boot again?"
A. In primary recovery, flash blackhawk's NEXT tool and delete 2nd ROM system image. OR delete .secondrom directory in /data/media while on 1st Rom.
23. "If secondrom files are kept in /data/media, will wiping data in recovery erase second rom files?"
A. NO. /data/media is skipped in CWM recovery.
24. "I was using ExFat card on sammy rom without any issues. I have setup dual boot with aosp and now after booting into CM it says microSD card is corrupted."
A. Aosp roms doesn't support ExFat out of the box. The data was corrupted by aosp vold. Even if you boot back to Sammy rom, it still would be corrupted. To recover data, manually mount the card in recovery, copy contents to internal SD and reformat card to a Fat32.
Also try
chkdsk X: /f (where X is the drive letter of microsd), you may be able to copy data.
25. "I read somewhere that both rom data partition use the same space. Doesn't that mean my apps are shared across roms?"
A. NO. It just means they uses same partition. They're still different directories.
1st rom data = /data
2nd rom data = /data/media/.secondrom/data
26. "Will hitting "Boot into Secondary Recovery" in recovery boot menu change my recovery?"
A. NO. It just runs (not flash) an alternate recovery so that you can configure dualboot settings.
27. "How do I backup 1st Rom and 2nd Rom?"
A. To backup 1st Rom, do what you did to backup rom while you were single booting a while ago.
To backup 2nd Rom, use the secondary recovery.
28. "Is there an easier way for dual-boot?"
A. Yes, send your device to me.
29. "DB architecture?"
A. Like you know, every rom has a /data, /system, /cache partition and a kernel to boot.
For primary rom, it's
mmcblk0p10 = /data
mmcblk0p9 = /system
mmcblk0p7 = /cache
And these won't change whether you're single booting or dual booting.
For secondary rom, data and system is stored in internal sd, cache in hidden partition. Note that internal sd in our device is mounted to /data/media.
We have data as a directory, System as an image in data/media/.secondrom. Cache in mmcblk0p11 which is hidden partition and not used otherwise.
- When second rom is booting, second rom data is bind mounted to mmcblk0p10 as /data/
- data/media/.secondrom/system.img partition is mounted as /system.
- mmcblk0p11 is mounted as /cache.
More FAQs will be added and the list will be updated as DB is improved.

Just opened a new thread for my masterpiece work on Galaxy Tab 2. Enjoy it and don't forget to press my Thanks button or better my DTM button
PhilZ Touch attached in post #1 has a "red" on screen navigation bar in secondary recovery to distinguish between primary and secondary :laugh:
So this kernel boots 1 ROM over internal storage and second over SD card?

Please try increase the CPU voltage by 25mV. In this version, CPU voltage 50mV lower than the previous values. You can use Android Tuner or /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh .
KK, you are a genius! This is working splendidly, I have cyanogen as my primary and blaster as my secondary and they are both workihg smooth for me so far... I have them both running currently at 1200 mhz and seem to be doing fine.. you have really made my day!

I actually watched your HDMI problem. It's one of the reasons this dual boot solution was born. Glad I could help you, thanks for your support :good:

Really? And all your init.d scripts removed by NEXT
That's okay cuz I have No Frills set up for my CPU settings. Of course my public release is still running kkboot 1.6.
After looking at your install script IDK if I would include this in my ROM if/when you allow people to. I'll let them make up their own mind.

Personally, I found that Zap Blaster works well my device (p5113) because of the IR and such.. plus at the time it was overclockable and my HDMI output worked well with it. So, I decided to use it for awhile.. but I could not resist CM because it runs so smooth and I love how clean and reliable it has always been on me for this device as well as other devices I have owned.
Again, I am very happy about this DUAL boot option and I don't think I will change my setup for a time to come... My tablet is perfect now, in my opinion. Thanks again, KK.
The tablet behaviour between this kernel and the samsung original kernel is completely different! Ketut, if samsung would give a crap about their customers, they should buy this kernel from you and push it on all the galaxy tab 2... but that's not going to happen, so actually only the xda members have the chance to see their tablet working as it should, thanks to your work. Lucky us

For free A lot of clicks to install NEXT package but why people missed to click my Thanks button
EDIT:
This kernel version will directly jump to 1.3 in order to sync with P31xx version. Still inspecting line by line using diff tool to make sure already in sync
