[Q] Regarding dual-boot with Siyah Kernal - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I am about to flash my GS2 - i9100 with Siyah kernel 4.1.5 and dual boot
will i be needing to install the apps that i need into both the ROMs or installing it into one of them will suffice ?

hey ma8, in dual boot only the kernel is shared b/w the roms
the apps have to be installed individually for each roms

yes u can keep ur current stock firmware(has to be ICS) as ur primary rom along with Siyah kernel version which supports dual boot (Ex v4.1.5 of siyah) and flash any Custom rom of ur Choice which has to be ICS or JB (do not ask which one though since its against XDA rules!) as ur Secondary rom and see
for backing up of memo u can try some apps from stores and see

I just flashed my phone with the Siyah Kernal...
I have the stock firmware as my primary one ( ICS 4.0.3 ) and i wish to have a CM10 ROM as my secondary ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794758
As per the above link, since i m doing it for the first time, i hv to flash the two mentioned files from the SD n then hv a factory reset else it will get stuck at boot...
is it so ? do i hv to do that inspite of having that as a secondary ROM ?
I am following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680851 this thread to enable dual boot ROMs..

Siyah 4.1.5 is not compatible with the latest CM10 (JB Mali version) and all JB ROMs based on this build. Therefore Siyah cannot boot it.

Well, i did flash GAPPS too into the secondary ROM the way it was mentioned. Still the same state, it says booting into 2nd ROM n then everything goes blank...

I had to do that bro...coz at mid night i was stuck and there was no response on this post.
Anyway, i had downloaded the 6th october build of CM10 from http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100
Like i got to know, the latest build might not be compatible. So, now I am downloading the 1st october build (thats the oldest nightly build available dats y)
Should that be fine ?

It might be. But I'm not a 100% positive. You could try n if you're not able to boot, then download another one of the custom ROMs built with a cm10 base available in the development section for now.until siyah is updated to include the new code.
Alternative is to flash the cm10 ROM and stick with the cm kernel for now.

Actually I am new to android so dont know much. I should just go into recovery and flash it straight forward? Or I would need to change kernel too?

first go into recovery mode and wipe everything factory reset and cache late format data format cache and last thing wipe dalvik cache and later on you can install your new rom. you dont have to change kernel because rom has its kernel in it.

1. Not sure if its been updated... you could ask or check in the respective thread.
2. Official Nightlies just dropped for select devices.. check dev section.
3. Yes
4 Neither.. CM9 based on ICS, CM10 based on JB.. Both are awesome and JB is the newest shiz so... (and actually CM9 may have more features right now)
5. 99% of the time no. Unless you flash a ROM w/ Odin that does not have root or CWM. But- most, if not all, the custom ROMs you find here will have root and CWM. Just look at the ROM features before flashing!

Answer for 1. is YES it's compatible with CM10. Just look at the thread title of siyah kernel.

1. Yes siyah supports cm10. Says so in the title. Always read the change logs for important info
2. It's in beta sort of. They're releasing previews that are quite usable. I'm using it atm. Only annoying bug is the memory leak that can easily be solved by rebooting the phone. 3. Restore only app apks, not phone settings. Restore app data at your own risk.
4. Depends on if you're looking for stability. CM9 is stable but I like JB and I'm going to be sticking with CM10
5. No it doesn't. Flashing a stock rom with stock kernel will unroot it. Custom roms will not

Go to the Original Development section and get CM9 from there. Its good for you to navigate around the site and get comfortable where stuff is. In regards to the bootani, in my experience you change this by modifying /system/media/bootanimation.zip. You can try swapping the new bootanimation.zip with the old bootani.zip and see if that works. But I've never flashed a .zip to change the bootani.. but to be fair its been a long time since I've had any desire to change the bootanimation

You can do it two ways- on your PC: at the XDA home page you'll see 2 search boxes near the top and to the right. The box that says "find your device" ..type your phone in there and choose it when the option comes up. Then scroll down.. bam- OG Dev Forum! Or download the XDA app and find your device that way-

To install cm10 you need root access, go check cfroot by chain fire. Gapps is basically your Google now etc. With a custom recovery, just flash the cm10 and Gapps and you'll be good to go.
Stock kernel is subjective with very little difference. All kernels work for me so it's not so much of an issue deciding which is better.
The best rom is the one you try for yourself. Rom comparisons are not allowed on xda
Latest stock will be depending on whether you want android version 4. 1.1 or 4.0.4
Wrong section btw, should be posted in the q&a

You can safely ignore that error.
CWM in the apps drawer is the UI interface of the CWM recovery (accessed by pressing the Vol Up+Home+Power when booting up). CWM recovery works without a hitch.

All options are there when you boot into recovery, it is just the app that is incompatible, meaning a couple of the options won't work directly from the app....you need to boot into recovery to do those things.....don't worry, it's all there.
I personally prefer the older recovery as it doesn't use the blob method of backing up. And I'm used to the old way!

Well that obviously depends on which version of Siyah you want to use as they all support different bases.
You would be much better off finding a rom you like and then flashing the appropriate Siyah kernel for it. However you can start off on any kernel version you like as custom rom will replace with its own kernel anyway so just flash Siyah again afterwards.
Also please note that this type of question is not allowed for various reason.

Flashing another 1st rom will 'replace' your kernel. If you flash a new 2nd rom, the current kernel won't be replaced. Clear?

Quick Dual Boot Question

Hey Guys, Im coming here and well modifying my phone after a long time..I have forgotten few things and just want to reconfirm 2 things about dual booting(as i want to install a new rom side by side). My current kernel is siyah 6.0vb5(the last beta produced for s2). I currently have alliance rom v9 installed which is based on 4.1.2. SO:
1. I wanna dual boot omega rom v24 which is also based on 4.1.2. I can do this dual booting legally right on my siyah kernel version?
2. How does the internal data storage work in case of both the roms? For example, i play temple run on first rom as well as on second rom, so will their save data be saved separately or will be shared?
Thanks for replies in advance
1. You cannot dualboot any jb 412 rom out of the box. It has to be modified but there are modded Roms ready to download. Dorimanx is the kernel for dualbooting jb Roms.
Here you find lots of Roms already prepared:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44449811
2. I think they have different data if they dont link to a server.

Not even if my first rom is a custom rom? Alliance rom v9 currently..
Edit: ok i got it, but i jist have 1 question now..For dual booting, should my second rom be dualboot modified or the first rom? or both?
If you want two jb roms both need to be modified since 4.1.2 uses preload where your second rom would be. If you have a 4.2.2 or 4.3 you dont need to mod it since they dont use preload.
In short: if you want alliance as first rom you must download it premodded and install it. Then you install premodded neat as second rom. If you would use cm aokp or pa rom you dont need to mod it. It works as it is.

Ok so u mean to say if i want to install Resurrection remix 4.2.2 as second rom,i can install it as it is right? No need to have either alliance modded or RR moded?
No you cant. Your alliance( IF not modded) is already using preload so you will probably mess up things. There is alliance v9 modded which i used as second rom. Works well. Dont know IF you can get ota downloads though.
I guess you have to backup your data with TB and wipe your current rom(make nandroid first) and install modded alliance. Make sure it works both as first and secrom first since with the thread i linked before. I always use 422 , 4.3 in first and 412 in second, because at first there wasn't 412 for first ROM so it kind of stuck. RR you can flash as it is. No modding needed.

Ota doesn't work on modded alliance rom. Also a good man to talk to would be @Troubadour666 check his links out. Dorimanx 8.xx Imo is best for dualbooting.
