Well it's been a while since I've updated my DualbootSD thread. But since things are much bigger and better now with CM7 and CM9. Figured I'll prep a new IMG file that you can dualboot Mirage CM7 Kang and the latest greatest ICS CM9 off one SDcard. I did this because I do love ICS but still have the need to go back to CM7 for my own personal reasons, but figured I'd share it with everyone as well.
1-I've prepped the image file to be 3.7gb, so that no one will have issue's burning it to a 4gb SDcard or larger.
2-Both roms share the same SDcard partition. So on a 4gb card, the available space is limited to 1.4gb.
3-If you use an 8gb SDcard. To get use of the remaining storage on your SDcard. Just burn the image and then use EASUS Partition Manager to extend the SDcard partition. (Which is the 7th partition on the card)
4-Primary boot is Mirage CM7 Kang from his 01/13/2012 build (uImage/uRamdisk)
-V6 SuperCharger by zeppelinrox included (read below on how to install)
5-Secondary boot is ICS CM9 was built on 01/14/2012 with the following additions (uAltRam/uAltImg):
-Added telephony-permissions-fix by Samiam303 to allow phone specific apps to show in market
-Added bootanimation fix by Homer_S_XDA (make sure you thank him)
-Make sure you thank Samiam303 for posting the zips on his thread here
6-Gapps included but not baked into the rom, read below to find out how to install
7-This .img also includes a modded CWM Recovery that only works with .zips from this thread. Do not use it to flash with anything else besides .zips prepped by me for this thread!
Please follow below instructions completely before posting issues!
___________________________________________________________________________________
1-Download the .zip at the bottom of this post
2-Follow the same directions as you would burn a NookieFroyo SDcard from NookDevs.com here.
3-After you burn the card, plug the SDcard into your nook and power on. Leave it alone and it will boot to the primary boot which is Mirage CM7 Kang and connect to a wifi connection.
4-Power off nook or reboot and boot to secondary boot which is ICS CM9 by holding down the volup+voldown together during boot and it should boot up Alternate Boot which is (uAltImg/uAltRam)
5-Once booted to ICS CM9, again connect to a wifi and then power off.
6-Now power on nook again and this time hold down the button to get to the boot menu and choose SD Boot --> uRecImg/uRecRam.
7-Choose to 'Install zip from SDcard --> Choose zip from SDcard --> Now choose, gapps-GB-20110828-signed-DualbootSD.zip. Once that's completed now choose, gapps-ICS-20111125-2-DualbootSD.zip
8-After you're done flashing both Gapps, now you're ready to boot into your roms and sign into market. I don't think I need to go any further explaining how to do so.
9-Optional, but if you want to supercharge your Mirage CM7 Kang with the V6 SuperCharger Script by zeppelinrox. All you have to do is boot the Mirage and start up Terminal Emulator and do the following:
- su
- cd /sdcard
- sh V6*
- choose option 0 (fastest scroll)
- choose 9
- choose option 16 to reboot
10-Please be patient with your roms. Give it a minute or two on first boot. It also depends on what brand and class of SDcard you have. I've tested it on both a Sandisk 8gb Class 4, as well as a PNY 4gb Class 2. The roms ran much better on the Sandisk than it did on the PNY card. Read this thread by Blue6IX for more info on SDcard read/write speeds.
11-Oh for the ones that are gonna take this image and start selling it on Ebay as well as N2A, you guys suck!! But to each his own I guess.
12-And finally enjoy your DualbootSD roms!! Now you can triple-boot your nook!
Take it or leave it, just hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to all the devs for all their hard work in getting these great ROMs for our Nook Color.

Flashable zip for Mirage CM7.2 / ICS CM9
-Mirage CM7.2 latest build 3-4-2012. It says 3-5-2012 because that's the date when it was prepped for dualbootSD.
-ICS CM9 non-OpenGL build. 3-5-2012. OpenGL is broken at the moment. You'll find it much smoother with OpenGL disabled though. But no flash. Thanks again to eyeballer for letting me use his build for our dualbootSD.

Flashable zip for Mirage CM7.2 / ICS CM9 / MIUI v2.2.24
-First off I want to thank TeamWin, specifically Eyeballer & Kevank for setting me up with their server to host my files. Everything will be in much better order now! Thanks guys!
-Mirage CM7.2 update 3-1-2012. More info here.
-ICS CM9 OpenGL update 3-1-2012. My repo is full of changes uncommited at the moment. So eyeballer was nice enough for me to use his build.
-MIUI v2.2.24. Thanks to hockeyfamily for allowing me to prep this for my dualbootSD. This will install in the primary boot. So it will replace your current Mirage build. It is also recommended that you perform a full wipe when going from one rom to the next. You can do so by booting into the CWM that is included with the dualbootSD and go to "mounts and storage" and choose to format "/system1" "/data1". Remember to also wipe cache.
-For MIUI v2.2.24, after flashing. Make sure you download and flash "gapps-MIUI-v2.2.24-20111125-DualbootSD.zip"
-Gapps ICS 2-24-2012 are borked for some reason. I will reupload when I figure out what's going on.
-There's also a flashable zip for the new CM9 bootanimation in the miscellaneous folder if you want to flash that after flashing the rom.
-Download the zip and place it on the SDcard partition of your DualbootSD rom
-Everyone should know how to flash by this point. If not, you should continue reading.
-After done flashing, reboot and you should be good to go!

Flashable zip for MIUI 2.2.3
1. MIUI 2.2.3 updated by 'hockeyfamily737'. This zip will replace your first boot rom on your DualbootSD. Which would be your CM7 rom. See more info here about MIUI 2.2.3.
2. If after flashing you find it unstable and since this is a completely new rom, I would recommend when booting into the DualbootSD CWM Recovery, go to 'Mounts and Storage' and choose to format '/data1' before flashing. You might not have to, and although MIUI is based off CM7. I'm not sure how it will affect your system without doing so.
3. Remember to flash the CM7 gapps that was included w/ your dualbootSD as well.
DualbootSD CWM Recovery Update v2:
1. You can now perform a full Nandroid backup of your DualbootSD, if you have the room to do so of course.
2. Unfortunately, when doing a Nandroid backup, it will backup both roms. I haven't edited the code to give you the option of which rom to backup yet. Maybe sometime in the future.
3. You can now choose which system you would like to wipe dalvik-cache for.
4. Restore only the /system you choose to by performing an 'Advance Restore' in the CWM menu
5. I will work on specific nandroid backups as well as fix permissions on next release.
-Download the zip and place it on the SDcard partition of your DualbootSD rom
-You should know how to flash by now.
-After done flashing, reboot and you should be good to go!

Reserved! Finally I've reserved the second post on my own thread!!
Well I don't plan on updating the roms often unless there are some major changes that calls for it. And I've made it simple for everyone to do so once that day comes. As I stated in the OP this .img comes with a modded CWM Recovery that is meant only for .zips that are prepped for this thread!
So I will be prepping update.zips when the day calls for it. Till then please enjoy your DualbootSD roms! And please keep issues with the DualbootSD in this DualbootSD thread and not clog up the other threads. I'll try and post known issues as the days go by.
Thanks again!
-Racks
Hey Racks. It says on your post that this dualboot is for the sdcard. How about for eMMC? Any chance for that? Thanks and awesome work, man.
quick hints
volup+voldown together during boot should get you to the altboot automatically without having to go through any menu. (Not that I don't love the menu!)
Nook Color Tweaks should allow you to set a default boot configuration.

Wow, great timing racks I was just looking for a way to experiment with CM9 without losing CM7. This saves me having to switch cards (which I would invariably lose altogether). I guess it only works with your prepped CM7/9 builds though? Not that it matters, just making sure I understand correctly.

This is a prepped .img file with CM7/CM9 on it. If there are any updates. Only use the .zips from this thread because not only CWM Recovery has been modded to work only with the dualboot card. The zips itself needs to be modified to flash correctly. As well as modified ramdisk, fstab.... etc. to boot and work correctly with the DualbootSDcard.
But you could always use TitaniumBackup and backup all your apps and restore it to the Dualboot card if you wished. It should work. Haven't tried it myself though.
Good luck!

Should the gapps be included as part of the SD image? When I attempt to install update from SD, I am getting a No files found. message.
Thanks for this image. This is awesome!
---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------
Sorry, please ignore. I did not correctly boot via SD. My bad
Thanks again!
Thanks Rack, I'll give it a try soon.
Is CM9 the prebuilt one or your own compiled?
P.S: Thanks for posting on G+. Don't check these forums much

I bet I was one of the first to download your ROMS at a little after 10 last night. My husband is probably mad at you and me, since I played with my NC until after 2 am!
This is SO COOL! This takes me back to my first experience with Android, which was running Donut from an SD card in my old HTC Touch. Your ROMS are much faster, but so is the NC.
The file installs really easily to a uSD card. I have a bunch of cl 2 and cl 4 SD cards. None of them benchmark very fast, so I used a SanDisk Cl 4 8GB card that benches at .60, using the testing method in this thread. (Note, if you are using Crystal Disk Mark to test with, use 50MB file size and the 4k QD32 test for writing.) Mirage seems way faster than the NC's 1.3 software, which I am running blocking OTA updates.
I downloaded a bunch of the apps I use on my 3D EVO. I didn't try the Titanium Backup thing, as I doubt the app data would work from my phone, which is running a rooted Stock (Sense) ROM.
It took me a minute to figure out how the changing of selections worked in recovery. Maybe it's standard for CWM, but I haven't ever run it, preferring Amon_RA and then TWERP. Use volume up and down keys to move up and down the list. Then hit the home key (Nook button) to change your selections.
I forgot to mention, though I did flash both gapps zips, (from recovery), at least on Mirage, I had to download Maps, GMail and others from the Market. I'm not sure if I missed a step or something.
I have run CM on my OG EVO, as well as my 3D EVO. I like it very much, but I also like some of the widgets in Sense. I'll have to get a calendar widget for my NC. I am using GOWeather for a weather and digital clock widget.
I have already thanked you on your first post, racks, but I thank you again. I hate to sound piggy, but is there any chance you could make up a zip that includes Miui? It's not my favorite ROM, and there are problems with the Market on the NC. But it would be fun to be able to switch back and forth and show it off to my friends that run Miui on their phones.
OK...I installed and everything is perfect. Thanks Racks
I previously had cm7 and cm9 (both latest nightlies)on two separate SDcards. Because of this, and that fact I didn't want a lot of duplicate files, I had all my media and Titanium Backup directories (cm7 and cm9 with different dir names)on my internal sdcard. My emmc is stock un-rooted NC 1.4.1.
So I burned the img on a SanDisk 8GB cl4 SDcard, expanded the sdcard partition and followed the install proceedures. When complete I downloaded Titainium Backup from the market, pointed it to the correct backup, and restored all my apps for each OS.
All worked great...

Hahaha, awesome. This is why I try to contribute what I can to this community. It's comments like these that makes it all worth while. Oh and I might (might being the keyword) prep an MIUI update zip for the dualboot card. It will probably replace the primary boot though. No ETA's yet.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that though. I have no idea what will happen. But most likely it would just flash to emmc boot. Let me know what happens if you do happen to be brave and do so.

Ok, so I guess you just flashed CWM Recovery to your EMMC then. Can you try booting to the uRecImg/uRecRam off the SDboot just to make sure it didn't replace the modded one I had there?

It is possible, but someone has to prep the .zips to flash to the correct partitions. If someone wants to take a crack at it. Just download one of the .zips from rookie1's thread here. And take a look at the edify script, you would also need to modify the uRamdisk so it boots the correct /system as well.
Don't have time for that at the moment. Working on something else with another dev for you great people!

Posted in support thread and received no help so here we go
I have a rooted nook tablet with miui I've installed miui and cm9 with no trouble using cmv. But now when I try to install cm7 it says installation aborted what should i do? Or do i need to install it using a different method any help would be great thanks a lot
If this were my issue this is what I would do.
I would verify my md5 value is correct for my download (or re-download cm7 zip to make sure it is a good copy - download gapps for cm7 also).
Boot into cwm recovery and perform a wipe/factory reset.
Then I would install zip from sdcard - doing both cm7 and gapps at the same time.
I would then perform another wipe/factory reset just to make sure I got everything.
I would then boot system and hope that everything is correct.
I am assuming you are loading into emmc not sdcard method and it is a 16 Gb NT and not the 8 Gb.
Hope this helps.
I have Alpha 4 of dragonzkiller's CM9 mod for the X2 installed but I am confused on how to update it to Alpha 5 (and beyond). When I looked for the patched BSR the link posted by dragonzkiller is dead as well.
If I can get a hold of the patched BSR do I just follow the installation steps exactly as I did when I installed CM9 for the first time? Or are the steps different because it's an update?
For reference, here is where I was trying to get the patched BSR from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21342515&postcount=1
It should be exactly the same as how you did it the first time. Get into BSR (when you get it) and wipe data/factory reset. Then wipe cache. Then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash the CM9 update zip file then the gapps file. Before you do all that, it would be a good idea to back up all your apps with Titanium Backup. Maybe even do a nandroid backup of your current rom in case something goes wrong, saving you from doing an SBF.
In the future, I would just keep all the necessary files, like the patched BSR, on your SD card for future flashing. Good luck
The link worked for me from my phone. When downloaded locate file using your browser of choice and install apk.

Update: Nevermind, it was just taking longer than usual to boot. I've got the initial Droid setup screen showing right now. :victory:
Do I need to perform a wipe before applying the update? Or can I just go straight to CWM and flash the RC2 zip on top of RC1?

Follow whatever instructions are in the CM9 discussion thread I.E there isn't anything specific about doing anything different for flashing RC2 over RC1. For all intensive purposes it's just another nightly. Up to you whether you want to go the whole hog & do a clean install, say. But you don't absolutely have to.

First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:
- READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.p...sked_Questions
- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH! (if you're unsure, flash the CM9 Resurrection Edition)
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Flash GApps zip
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)
- Reboot
- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!
Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:
- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Reboot

Okay, complete re-write...
For MY guide (The point is, this is not all inclusive, nor does it dictate that its the only way... but if you want help on this thread....)
USE safestrap 3.65 (no exceptions)
USE kitkat 4.4 (no exceptions)
YOU MUST WIPE EVERYTHING - Use the Advanced button, in the wipe menu... Thats what its for... Advanced stuff... Like flashing over STOCK... (Its best to copy all your NEEDED data (Don't just copy everything), PLEASE DO NOT COPY /DATA /ANDROID/ /.SECURE ECT ONLY what YOU recognize
Please make sure ALL APPS work before using apps2sd /mounts2sd. (This means literally testing each app, one by one. In your app drawer. You'd be surprised how much doesn't work when not wiped/flashed properly (And sometimes even when done right)
Boot into recovery
Select "Boot options"
Select "Stock ROM"
Select "Wipe"
Select "Advanced Wipe"
Check mark every single box you see! (I mean it) (I hope you already went through your internal and external sd card and copied your pictures, music, videos, emails, texts, downloads, ect somewhere safe. NOT ON THE PHONE...
"Swipe to Wipe"
Select "Install"
Find and Select your flashable rom .zip
Select Add More Zips
Find and Select your flashable gapps .zip
"Swipe to Confirm Flash"
"Wipe Dalvik Cache"
"Reboot"
I would just like to confirm that flashing "Aviator CM11" on the stock partition does work and boots without problems.
Boot times are incredible compared to using slot 1-4
Enjoy not wasting 6gb of space!
Errors:
Could not install to usb or sdcard -playstore error : Either bug in rom, or you have installed that app, once upon a time on some other rom/same rom. Go to root explorer, and use the search function to find the left over files. (Try searching only one part of the word of the app) Or look in /data/data
Ya, noticed this in a few 4.4 RoMs. Like Avatar etc. I am using latest cm nightly with "ZERO" issues!!! Pretty good feeling. Apparently, imo, some RoMs have not been updated fully. This was an issue for many when using AOKP 4.3. Suggestions are in that thread, old suggestions at this point. But may be helpful!!

Please note : USE LATEST SAFESTRAP. I believe it was version 6.10 that started allowing proper stock slot flashing for custom roms, but the developer noted that only new versions would work, for example, anything below cm10.1 would NOT WORK. I used Aviator CM11 (4.4 kitkat)
So... I originally maxed out my space when creating a slot for my rom to fit in, which left me about 500mb for my internal sdcard. Using mounts2sd or other internal/external sd swaps gave me trouble one way or another (Camera refused to record to sd, so I would get interrupted during hd recording ect.). So I dived in and just erased all my slots, and installed my rom on the stock slot.

I did not wipe system. Only did a davilik/cache/data wipe. Installed Aviator CM11 on top. Rebooted. confirmed it works. Then installed JBX kernel. Which also worked just fine.
Now I have 6gb free on my internal sdcard!!
(The only problem I have is Aviator CM11 related, cannot install certain apps from the app store. "Could not install to sdcard or usb storage" )

Cool! I am running KitKat of Gnex as primary and it rocks. But, on primary phone, xt912, using Cm1 Kitkat on Slot 1 (Aviator) with old Jelly bean stock. UGH! So, u r saying u installed kitkat to stock and is all still good??? Why did you not wipe system since u threw out stock?
Also, not very sharp with JBX. Is itdiffcult to install? can u point me in the right direction.
Boot up on kitkat slot1 is sooooooooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. would like to try it as primary. Any help is appreciated.
Gsm razr xt910?
Hey, will this methos work for GSM RAZR XT910?
For all: Flashing a Kexec Rom to stock system works fine whether with latest SS or with BMM! The stock system is working faster than any virtual slots, there's no "disk emulation". I am not sure about one thing: In theory the stock system could use less power than virtual slots - thos of you who ever installed Linux Mint near their Windows installation (Installation from Windows), where a virtual hdd disk image partition is being created. When installation Linux Mint this way the suspend mode is not available as usual. Maybe it works the same way on our phones?
I have been using Mokee on my stock slot for weeks now. Very stable, everything works (except HDMI because of source), and battery is pretty decent. I'm using SS 3.65, flashing to stock is painless, and I believe all Roms posted here are kexec based. I have used gummy, cm, mokee and slim on stock slot. But where can the "Aviator" Roms be found?

There is another forum located here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-vzw-droid-razr-roms-xt912/
There are some of the older Blur based ROMs, and the newer Aviator ROMs as well. Aviator has a Gummy, and a CM11 version. They tweak those ROMs with a few things and work well.
I have also installed KitKat Roms on the stock partion, which I started doing to free up room on phone. I also ran into the same issue trying to install one app ("can not install on USB or SD Card") and gplay subsequently gave a refund after going through their support system.
I tried JB Rom on stock partion but the install failed. BUT - I installed it on rom slot 1 and created a backup and the "recovered" that backup on the stock slot and it worked.
The aviator roms on http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-vzw-droid-razr-roms-xt912/ are pretty good. Running the aviator gummy (my current favorite) right now - early Jan version as the camera did not work on later Jan version - might be fixed now - haven't checked in a week.
What is the CORRECT WAY to install any custom ROM on the STOCK SLOT?
For example:
I was using SS 6.15
SLOT: STOCK ---- ROGERS CANADA JB STOCK ROM 4.12
SLOT: 1 ---- SLIMKAT 2.4
RIGHT Now I´ve installed:
SLOT: STOCK ---- SLIMKAT 2.5 RC1 (over the ROGERS CANADA JB STOCK ROM 4.12 )
SLOT: 1 ---- SLIMKAT 2.4
SLOT: STock is not working properly. Camera, browser, quick settings are not working.
SHOULD I enter SS 6.15, WIPE EVERYTHING on SLOT STOCK (DATA, SYSTEM,CACHE,DALVIK,etc) and re - FLASH SlimKAT 2.5 RC1 on SLOT STOCK??
Question here:
I am wanting to flash a custom 4.1.2 Rom on my stockside. Is this possible with SS?
Is it only possible with KK ROms?
Right now I have a modified latest .165 OTA running and nothing on my slots for SS.

Using file manager, go to internal storage, go into data/data and delete the offending apps. This is caused by left over files from a previous installation of that app. The hard way, but for sure way, is to wipe EVERYTHING. (internal storage)
The proper way, at least for me, to install on stock slot, is to:
Pull out my external SD card. Goto wipe, click advanced wipe, check everything. Wipe.
Then flash your custom rom, and don't forget your gapps if you use them. Reboot.

Yes, for the least amount of possible issues, use SS 1.65, and use a jb+ kexec rom. (4.1.2 should be fine)

I would say definitely try wiping everything to resolve the issues. That's always good for all ROM's if you're going from one ROM to a completely different one. About the only time I will dirty flash is if I'm just updating the current system I'm running. Even then I've had minor problems.

For example i want to flash slimkat to my stock partition using safestrap 3.65 for umts spyder, to flash it correctly i have only to do a wipe data/cache/dalvik cache? and then flash it over stock 4.1(which i'm currently running)?? or do i have to perform a format system/data/cache also? thanks in advance...
Yes, I would say you're going to have to wipe everything, being that Kit Kat and Jelly Bean are going to have two different types of system data. They will DEFINITELY conflict with each other if you don't do a full wipe.

Hey, I rewrote my guide for flashing on stock.
YES!!! Put that bad boy on stock and watch yourself cry out of sheer joy.. as if you got a new phone!
YES!!! Boot time is so much faster for stock slot than any other slot!!
Jbx kernel is easy to install. Google "xt912 jbx xda" and the guide will be there. Just download and go to safestrap and install it. Its a zip like everything else. Also check mark the moto x camera when the options pop up. 1080p almost 100% stock camera. (Only missing steady hand feature)
Just one thing.... Disabling core 1 of the cpu causes the phone to become incredibly more responsive... so not only is core 1 wasting my battery, its also slowing down the damn phone!!! EDIT: Using the built in CPU turner, and setting to performance finally fixed it for me.
if i wipe everything should't that wipe my intenal memory which contains the rom i want to flash?? i was lost at that part, where should i put the rom and gapps before flashing?
