dual boot samsung galaxy tab 2 with kali

All I have a p5113 and would like to keep the default rom. I have the most current official one now installed and rooted.
I have seen that there is a way to reboot the device and then use the volume key to pick which os to run.
I would like to run what i have currently
And add kali linux, as they have a arm releases available for download - i would think making a rom wouldnt be too hard.
But i haven't found good directions on what to do with the dual booting... unless you want to wipe out your current install.. and the best way to go about this.
Is there anyone that could maybe guide me along the process?
Guess I should mention I would like kali to boot from the external sd card, while default remains from internal

Does this seem like the correct place to post this? That would be the Q&A section.

I figured once I got past thedual boot parts I would probably have to do some development on the ROM if it needs to be moved feel free

Moved.

[Completed] How to extract a very weird qualcomm rom format ?

Hi guys, I have a qualcomm device with a Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 SoC. Stock rom isn't available and I wanted acces to source code to sart some stuff. So I asked the brand directly, they gave me a file as "source code" but i'm not allowed to share it.
Stock rom is not yet available for this device.
You may think i'm stupid if i can't even tell the name of device or brand but I think it doesn't matter so much as I think they didn't do so much work on the rom, it's just AOSP 5.1.1 and it runs quite smoothly.
However, when I opened the file, it was very weird, you can take a look :

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I think they gave me instead of source code is the stock rom ready to flash with some special program (like flash tools for mediatek), my question is how to extract this !? I tried one of the system.img in Android Kitchen but no way it would do something :/ And Im pretty sure, there is no way at all to get source code from this as there are no readme or makefile...

Hi,
This is not a Q&A forum. It is more to guide new users to the best place on the site for their problem .
Please read the OPENING THREAD and the Second one , too.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Downgrading to android 9 - is it possible?

I've got the android 10 beta update, but i need to downgrade back to 9, because an app, which i use for work isn't working under the new system. I've downloaded, the oficial android 9 build from oneplus's site, and was about to use the local upgrade function, but it shows this message.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. I'd like to avoid to install custom recovery and custom rom, if possible.
Thanks!

So it shows this

the fastest way back with data loss is to msm the phone back to 9.

Go in the oneplus community beta thread and you will find the correct rom to downgrade.

you can but i twill wiped all of ur data. go to the oxygenos android q beta's thread on oneplus community. there's an instruction there.

It is basically a downgrade package which is installed using local upgrade.

Doesnt Format everything on TWRP and then the PIE works?
Whats the difficulty?

If twrp display ERROR:6, it means your system is not compatible to the rom.....

No, just no. Flashing SuperSU is not at all an appropriate fix for anything, let alone "black screen".
