[Guide] Multi Boot Note 3 (Video Guide Added)

[Guide] Multi Boot Note 3 (Updated 24/07/2015)​
*** Hi Guys i no longer have a note 3 so i cant do any testing but our team member is here to give support for you all and even im here to give support except testing. please contact @[email protected] and @djnim for support.***
I am using this on SM-N9005 Snapdragon Variant of the Note 3; I believe this will work with other Note 3 Variants as well. Few of them are already tested and you can find them below. Others who have different variants which are not tested can try this and update us, and we will be here to help you out if you are ready to try this out.
@chenxiaolong is the one who made this happen to our beloved Note 3
Main advantage of this is you can try any new rom with out loosing or having any kind of trouble with your existing rom. This mod will not change anything in your primary rom, so any time you can go back to your normal state.

Requirements
* Read the full guide before Starting.
* Backup your phone if you are doing this first time. (Full Nandroid backup recommended for the new comers and it’s also recommended to others who don’t know what they are doing exactly even if they have multi booted several times)
* Rooted Note 3 with custom recovery (preferred TWRP or philz).
* free space in your internal SD (for example a Cm based roms take up to 2.5GB to 3.5GB and a TW roms take up to 5GB or more.)
* If you face any trouble please read the FAQ before doing something or asking for help. And if you want help please provide as much as details(device, roms, etc.) you can.
*
Instruction:
1.Download your desired Rom which you want to use for multi booting and the mods, addons, gapps, Kernel etc for the same. Keep the files in your internal memory.
2. Download the most recent snapshot release of Dual Boot Patcher and install it on your Note 3.
3. Open Dual Boot Patcher and grant SU permission. Then go to ROMS and you will see your Primary rom, press the 3dotmenu key and click "set kernel". If it fail to set kernal please read the FAQ.
4. Then In Dual Boot Patcher go to Patch Zip File and Choose hlte for snapdragon variant and ha3g for Exynos veriant (Samsung Galaxy Note 3) from the drop down menu.
5. In the second drop down menu select "Data Slot".
6. Below that you have to enter the ID of the secondary rom.(Example 1, 2, 3, etc. - it will take it as /data/multiboot/data-slot-1)
7.Now tap on the below button to choose the ROM's, Gapps, Kernel and mods to patch them and make them perfect for Multi booting.
8. Always remember to keep same slot ID for the Gapps, kernels and mods same as the rom. (Example: if you want to flash the gapps/kernel to the data-slot-1 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 1 or if you want to flash the gapps/kernel to the data-slot-2 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 2.)
9. When selecting the files except cm rom zip there will be a “preset” drop down menu, from that you have to select according to the file you are going to patch. (Examp: for roms, kernels, mods, addons – custom; for gapps – Google_Apps; for Su zip – other/SuperSu; For xposed-Other/Xposed)
10. Now press the tap to begin patching button to patch the file. And you will get a new patched zip file in the same location.
11. Now Boot into custom recovery and flash the new patched file and reboot.
12. And your device will boot into New Rom.
13.Install the Dual Boot Patcher app and set the kernel for your second ROM as well.
14. To switch between roms
•Open Dual Boot Patcher app/roms and click on primary or secondary rom as you like and reboot.
•Or Use Swap Roms to switch between Roms.
* Important things to keep in mind: while installing a rom or mod with Aroma installer don't reboot directly from the aroma.
You have to always uncheck the last option to reboot in aroma and click finish. So it can finish the final steps for multi booting.
And if you miss that it will only reboot to recovery. To boot back you have to flash your primary rom kernel or re-flash the patched rom.
Never update a secondary rom through OTA Update.
*. For other devices:
1. You have to download and install X-plore File Manager (which I am using) from play store.
2. Open X-plore File Manager from app drawer and navigate to the patched zip file and open it.
3. Now you will see a folder named multiboot inside that you will find info.prop, now open info.prop with the text editor which comes with the x-plore file manager.
• And then find and change mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=false to mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=true
Revert
To revert back or if you face any problem just flash my Multi Boot cleaner.zip which will wipe all the installation files from \system and restore the primary rom kernel.
As a backup keep a copy of your kernel flashable zip file.
FAQ
1. I can't set the primary rom kernel in xyz rom. And I can’t switch to other rom in primary rom.
Ans. Just download the set kernel fix as per your model and flash it in the recovery.
The above fix only work for primary rom. If you have trouble with any other roms just add ro.patcher.device=hlte(for other models add your model instead of hlte) to the bottom of build.prop of that rom and you are good to go.
If you don’t know how to do that just pm me and I will make a flash able zip to add it to your secondary rom.
if the above didnt work Read this post please
2. App sharing?
Ans. Until now no luck. (Still under testing)
3. This rom can’t be patched.
Ans. some roms are not supported its known, if the Dev have time may be he will consider including them.

1. First of all have you grant super user permission for Dual Boot Patcher. If not just reboot and try again.
2. Do you have enough space in your sdcard (internal) for the backup of the kernel.
3. Just check if there is sdcard/multiboot/primary/boot.img is their.
4. Try the 8.0.0.r1119.g9c51715 version of dual boot patcher if the above didn’t help.

Anyone can tell me if I can install it for the Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note 3 ?
Thank you

I have tried the rom but same result as yours. But don’t worry I have an alternative way to set the kernel for your primary rom.
First make folders in your SDCard, “MultiBoot” in it “Primary” it should be like: Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary
Then extract the boot.img from your rom zip and copy it to Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary
So the result will be Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary/boot.img
It’s done.

To make space in your system partition.
1. Delete what ever apps you are not using from system/app and syatem/priv-app (Don’t delete if you don’t know what it is or what your are doing.)
Example: shealth, etc.
2. Move some google apps from /system/app to /data/app to make them user app using root explorer.
Example: maps, gmail, chrome, etc.

To dual boot two TW roms is very hard. Because there is not enough space to fit both system file in your system partition. Other wise you have to deboalt the primary rom and you have to deboalt secondary rom zip before flashing. And by doing so you will lose most of the features of your TW roms.
And if you want to use CM as primary and TW rom as secondary its possible but not recommended. Because you will have trouble with flashing mods etc for your TW rom.
The better option at the moment is to keep the TW rom as Primary and others a secondary.

[ROM][Umi Zero ] Arcatarc's "XperiaZero"

[ROM][Umi Zero ] Arcatarc's "XperiaZero"
Ciao a tutti amici miei!(hello all my friends!)
i'm proud to introduce you the latest great Arcatarc Creation:
++++++++ XperiaZero +++++++
A full working transplantation of the Sony android Ui with all his features included!!
PREREQUISITES:
Due to the fact that Sony system partition is bigger than stock one of Umi Zero,the first thing we need to do is to expand it...don't worry,if you follow all the steps with care there is not risk ..
Ok,..let's start:
1) First of all you need a full charged battery and an external sd card (the process require time,and internal memory will be formatted during the process)
2) Download&Install my TwrpRecovery
INSTALLATION:
Download to EXTERNAL SD the 3 needed files:
1: "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart1.zip"
2: "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart2.zip"
(many tnx to @eryen for both)
3: "XperiaZero_020715.zip"
4) Using my TWRP RECOVERY MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR ACTUAL ROM AND INTERNAL MEMORY TO THE SD CARD...OR BETTER MAKE A COPY OF THEM ON YOUR PC TOO..(it will backup all your "vital" partitions that will permit you to restore your Imei,Mac address etc..)
5) Once YOU HAVE DONE THE BACKUP,enter in TwrpRecovery-"Settings" and Un-tick "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" (if ticked)
6) Now,in TwrpRecovery,click "install" and select "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart1.zip"...wait 15/20 minutes until it finished,then reboot in recovery again,click "install" and select "1500mbSystemPartitionExpanderPart2.zip"......when it finish reboot in recovery again....
7) In TwrpRecovery-"Settings" tick "Use rm -rf instead of formatting",then "Wipe"-"Advanced Wipe" select: Dalvik Cache,System,Cache and Data.
8) FINALLY,without exit from Recovery click "Install" and select "XperiaZero.zip"...
fiuuuuu....
..Ok Now You Are On XperiaZero!!!!

Don't worry,you can restore every backup you made before and install without problem any rom..but if for some reason you want go back to original partitions layout,simply flash a stock rom with Sptool, it will restore it.

Ciao arcatarc,

Hello! Thanks again for the great work
So, if I expand the system partition and if I want to put another ROM (like MIUI) isn't there any problem? I can have it expanded from now on without any problem?
And could you tell me how much bigger the system partition will be with this? (just for curiosity)
Thanks

Yes it is,i got this new layout(1500mb instead of 800mb) from two weeks and i've used different rom/backup without problem(using my TwrpRecovery)

I follow all the steps but the result is not good. The device is locked on Zero logo.
Suggestion?

Ok thank you, I'll try it
And if you managed to fix the camera (stock sony camera), will we have probably to flash the whole ROM again or just flash a fix?
EDIT: Just noticed that the ROM is very big compared to others, does a bigger ROM file means a worse battery life or performance, or it has nothing do do with it?

don't know how it's with this rom, but on stock kitkat (rooted), i was able to edit build.prop file in /system.
added the line ro.sf.lcd_density=380 as the last line under ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES and rebooted to get my preferred resolution.
hi @sachin.r.fulzele, i'm an earlier user of xolo q3000. i happened to get back the device for a few days and i'd like to try out your rom.
please mention md5 checksums for your rom zip and patch zip. the rom zip has the following details:
Code:
anspv5-release-26042015.zip
Owner: muratyavuzakarsu
Size: 392 MB
is this the latest release as you intended? also, what exactly is the patch for? thanks in advance for your response.

@mohan, I am speaking frankly that I don't know, how to generate checksum & what is its purpose.
I've referred the link of original thread by @yavuz21, you can check it for latest version.
Patches are always provided, as you know, to suit our needs.

ROM PORTING GUIDE
I used this guide here === YOUTUBE LINK
Most of the tools needed are in this post
Always use a rom to port as close to a stock rom as possible [cpu matches cpu . . . ram matches ram . . . etc).
If you want a different rom I can port it for you if you want too test it.
ANY PROBLEMS I AM HAPPY TO HELP.

I know thats why I made it...seems useless but invaluable if needed.
I have had trouble finding a twrp..there is some for mtk devices on the sites that i credit at the bottom of my op but none have been tested.
If you have any other tools or anything you need for this device let me know and i will update and provide links.

Hey. I managed to get sdcard working on my twrp but the one you ported is much better as it has more support even with the no reboot problem. It may be best to leave your twrp as it is. It is fully working just with no reboot. Which is relatively minor.
Regarding sdcard not showing on rr ported rom that you using now.
Did you copy....
System/bin/vold
System/bin/sdcard
When you port. Did you copy them from stock to port?...

So you want the internal storage to be parsed with external storage like in cyanogenmod roms where it uses external sd as system.. ..
My recovery wont work with ressurection remix i dont think but you can try I will upload later. I think i fixed where it looks for ext sd.

How is this ROM different/better from @Amit.A ROM
[ROM][5.1.1][NOTE5][SM-N750][N7505][Deodexed]?NoteRom
Also, I am currently running this above mentioned ROM but I am hardly getting 1 signal bar strength most of the time which is very frustrating. Have you fixed it in this ROM bro? Thumbs up for your good work, please reply ASAP so I can install your ROM.

Am I stupid or will this end in a stock ROM (although rooted) with only the boot.img different if I don't remove any "system apps" ?
So is this "ROM" single difference with stock is we can remove what we want ? Can we do it also once we've restored the Note/Noble boot.img ? This would be great, along with the fact to stick close to stock gives more chances to be bugs free isn't it ?
Please tell me (I'm newb and non-english easy), what does "combo"ROM stand for ?
Thanks

Yes you are right in that this ROM is different from stock in boot.img. But this ROM is different from stock in having no bloatwares and few other patches..
"COMBO" here means this ROM is combination of Noble and Stock ROM

How is it possible that said "patches" would survive to stock reflash. These aren't in boot.img (this is the way you say to install : just install to backup boot.img then erase all with stock and restore boot.img backup). Wouldn't it be simpler to just distribute the tweaked boot.img then only flash this one ?
More, above, about 7505 you say "it's easy" to make it. But where is Noble for 7505 ? It is no more available. In fact this is my main problem to give try to your pragmatic way

Query for rooting Samsung note 3 neo ...
Can you please elaborate step 2 ... I have reboot to recovery. What do you mean by make small backup? Where and How to make it ?
