MultiSystem is a powerful tool and can perform potentially dangerous and/or destructive operations on your device and data that may affect your life. While it is unlikely to do irreversable damage to your device, it is not impossible, and you should proceed with caution. Loss of data and/or the need to re-flash a full stock (manufacturer-supplied) firmware IMGs (usually requiring a computer) is always a possibility, and is increasingly likely if you do not know what you are doing. It is possible to lose root access when using MultiSystem on locked-bootloader devices running unexpoitable (bu rooted) Android firmware, without careful reading of documentation or following the instructions. Please consult with expert users before performing actions you do not comprehend.

So not to be a complete noob but what exactly does this do? Like an eli5 version?

Does this allow the for the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S5 to flash AOSP based kernels? Or does multiboot still have the same limitations as SafeStrap on the Verizon Galaxy S5?

From the Q&A:
Can we install AOSP ROMs on locked devices?
You can only install stock/manufacturer-based ROMs on locked devices while unlocked devices can use kexec or flash the required kernel to boot any AOSP/Stock ROMs. I've got a Note 4 Developer Edition & a lot of development is planned to go there (thanks to the unlocked bootloader!) after leaving you here safe & happy with MultiSystem & some virtual ROMs. I'll keep pushing ROM updates for Note 3 whenever possible until my device dies or gets sold!

Simple One-Click Installationi
I've fixed the installation script by setting the required symlinks (this makes it a very simple one-click installation for future versions), but I'll keep it a bit complicated for everyone to go through the Q&A thread (posts #1-6) to learn more before being able to use it.
On a side Note, I'd recommend to backup your data via TitaniumBackup & only wipe system data before rebooting to a completely different ROM.
Good luck!

MultiSystem Video Tutorial
Thanks To: @Tomsgt , aka RootJunky
Don't forget to subscribe & like the video to show appreciation of his great effort & time spent in making the video :highfive::good:

Thanks for this awesome tool! I used this kind of multisystem app on my Droid Razr oh so long ago; it's nice to see this kind of development on the S5.

I am wondering
I have used safestrap a lot. I thought I had read that this has some kind of better kernel? I am wondering how that is possible considering bootloader is locked anyways so we have to use stock kernels no matter what. I guess I am asking what is this like compared to safestrap? IS there a reason to switch to it? I appreciate all the hard work done and I am just wanting to know what the benefits be?

Along the same lines as the previous post, am I reading the OP correctly inasmuch as using this recovery will achieve permissive SELinux on my retail s5?

Samsung releases Android 4.3 kernel source for Galaxy S3

The 4.3 upgrade just started rolling out for the S3 and now we also have the kernel sources : http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=I9300
The “update12″ file is the one you’re looking for, with version XXUGMJ9.

What does this mean to the average user? Will this be integrated into something like CM or would I need to flash this separately? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

This is only for i9300 - this source has no bearing on i747 other than to confirm that it may eventually be released to i747
i9300 is the international version and has a different chipset than the i747 (or other US variants).
Latest rumor mill points to 11/13 as official release date for AT&T 4.3 btw

This forum is the for international Exynos based S3 and Note2.
d2att is a completely different device and story.
The S3 kernel source applies to I9300, I9305, N7100, N7105 and all t0lte.
Not 100% but about 98%

This forum is for qcom and exynos Samsung S3 + Note 2 actually.
And he's clearly saying that it doesn't apply to the I747.

Help PL

Hi , does it mean we will have custome kernels for our devices ??

Which kernel. The discussion was about sources.
If one takes the source and compiles it for the lte variant of the s3, it works.

If your device was already having custom kernels of older sources... Yes.

[Completed] My new devices

Dear XDA community
I recently bought 2 Samsung devices: the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) and the Galaxy S5. P605 and G900F.
I used to install cyanogen mod on my devices, because I like a slim android system with only the most necessary apps and features. For both my devices the cyanogen mod is not available yet, which means they are both still unused in my desk.
I have read several threads where people were informed that they lose key features of those devices if installed with a custom ram and also that it is senseless to buy those devices and then flashing them with a custom rom. So I am aware of all that, non the less I am curious if there is a good slim mod that can support as many key features as possible but come without any pre installed google play and android stuff on them.
Any advice on making my devices usable with any mod would be much appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of a mod that supports my devices would already be enough usually I can figure out everything else on my own.
Obviously I already googled but there seem to be many fake pages around and Im unsure what to trust.
Thank you for your time and consideration

I'm not specialist about Sammy devices, but I know that latest Cyanogen version CM 11 hasn't ported to your both devices yet.
I can give some links, but I cannot tell you which roms are best than other.
For your Galaxy Note 10.1 -2014 - P605
If you want a really light rom, you need to wait a release like Slim - Omni or CM
Go here => Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) > Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Original Android Development
For your Galaxy S5 - G900F
You have this rom :
[ROM][WIP/DEV] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4.3 KitKat (KLTE - UNIFIED) | [June-10]

CM11 unofficial ROM for S5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777265
Have a look around this thread and maybe try out different ROMs that may be better suited to your needs http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development

wow that was fast for answers, thank you guys!
Is there like an overview of the most common mods? as in their name, what their goal/idea is?
Or how can I easily find a mod that supports my galaxy Note 10.1? Or did you mean you can give me a link of a mod that does support it philos64?
For my S5 I will use the unofficial Cyanogen mod for now as suggested by fxdil. Thank you for that.

fxdil, does the link you gave me work for my S5? also it says unified, does that mean it works for all devices, could I also install that on my tab?

Actually I cannot give a link for a rom, because you don't have pure AOSP for your Galaxy 10.1 - 2014
But you can go to see Cyanogen Mod website for seeing when a version could be released => Cyanogen Mod Website
I'm going to closed this thread because all links has been provided
If you need more technical infos about specific rom, go to the different threads -
Thanks in advance and good luck

Google Apps Basic Packages for cm-11.0:
These packages are slimmed down to it's highest possible limit. They are compatible with all phones and all ROMs based on cm11.
Keeping in mind some legacy devices (having tiny system partition), I've also made packages of gapps which can be installed on sd-ext rather than in system.
So go ahead and check it all out here
