[PATCHER][APP] Dual boot any ROM on all Galaxy S4 Variants!

[Freakii 126]

Servus Jungs & Mädels,

Ich will euch Jetzt den Patcher bzw. die App zum Dual booten beim S4 vorstellen

Entlich ist es auch mit unseren S4 möglich

XDA Orginal Thread

I'm proud to present the first dual boot project for the Qualcomm-based Samsung Galaxy S4! This project started off as a feature in my ROM, but not anymore. This will allow any two ROMs (soon, three) 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/dual, /cache/dual, and /data/dual). Because of the way this is implemented, no changes to the primary ROM are necessary

It patches...

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

How to use the Patcher

Android

Download the patcher apk and run it. It's very straight forward--only has one button to press

After patching the zip file, a new file_dualboot.zip file will be created. For example, patching ktoonsez's

KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-TMO-08.28.2013.zip

would create a new

KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-TMO-08.28.2013_dualboot.zip

• Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
  Flash DualBootUtilities.zip. You will get a menu allowing you to switch to the primary or secondary ROM.
  
  
  
• Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
  Flash DualBootUtilities.zip. You will get a menu that lets to wipe the respective partitions for either the primary or the secondary ROM.
  It's important to not use the recovery's built-in wiping functions because they may delete files needed for the secondary ROM.
  
  
• Update the primary ROM?
  Edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script so that it does not format /system or /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 (because the 16th partition is /system)
  Flash DualBootUtilities.zip before updating the ROM and choose Wipe Primary /system. If the primary ROM is AOSP-based, you will need to reflash Gapps.
  Download the two zips here and flash the appropriate one before and after the primary ROM's zip: https://d-h.st/users/chenxiaolong/?fld_id=30845#files
  Make sure to set the kernel as primary in the Dual Boot Switcher app
  Alternative: Just flash the update as normal and then reflash the secondary ROM. It's a bit tedious, but it works and you won't lose any files/settings.
  
  
  
• Update the secondary ROM?
  Just patch the new zip and flash it
  Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
  Just flash it
  If it's a custom kernel, make sure you set it in the Dual Boot Switcher app
  Flash a mod or custom kernel for the secondary ROM?
  If it's a custom kernel, just patch and install it.
  If it's a mod or some other flashable zip, see the "How do I patch a zip file manually?" section.
