Now you need to patch your CyanogenMod ROM and Gapps files to make them compatible with dual-booting.
In the Dual Boot Patcher app select “patch zip file” and choose “Ghost (Moto x)” from the drop down menu, now find the ROM in ur file explorer and press tap to begin patchingnow go to roms again and select pink button then add button then find ur patched file
it will be of name "romname_patched.zip"

---

Thanks ....it can be stable as well as alpha
So plz teta and tell me
Anyone else interested in trying this

---

Well believe me this is better then multirom

---

Any particular requirements, other than root? For example, does the first ROM need to be stock, and secondary ROM must be CM/AOSP? Or can I have CM 12.1 first, stock second?
I'm currently running CM 12.1, but I can go back to my stock nandroid if I have to.

Here it is finished installing:
Here it is as secondary:
Just a sec and I'll boot it and update this post with results.
Edit: no luck. I'm posting this on my iPad because my phone now only boots to recovery. Exactly what happened is as follows...
Select secondary ROM, reboot using normal hold power button, select reboot. Phone rebooted and displayed unlocked boot loader warning, screen went blank, unlocked bootloader warning came back, it went automatically into TWRP recovery.
Tried wiping Dalvik, caches, and rebooting. Same problem. Only boots to recovery. Now restoring my CM 12.1 nandroid.

i am using stock 5.1 as primary but when i select patch it shows failed to open archive for writing

---

Just tried it again. Same result.
Edit:
Be careful with this guys. After restoring my nandroid, I realized several oddities were happening. It definitely messes with partitions, and unless you are comfortable manually flashing your FXZ or using RSDlite, do NOT attempt this.

Could it be because you're on 5.X, and you're trying to boot a 4.4.x? Have you tried the other way around, or both on the same version?

Looks like you're on Lollipop (or were) when you set kitkat as your primary, while running a separate ROM. That doesn't sound wise.
Or am I just looking at it wrong and you managed st swap OS's prior to having this issue?

someone managed to make the procedure successfully?

Flash Krypton back on your phone and see if you are able to download anything at all. Or even update an app.
If not, be prepared to use RSDlite and use that to go back to stock.
