Joshndroid's TWRP with F2FS support
https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03xxxx
F2FS is called the 'flash friendly file system.' Realistically it has been developed to assist mobile type devices with EMMC get better read speeds, among other things, to achieve a better user experience.
Still want to know a bit more check this out – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS. Further have a look here for benchmarks completed on another device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2697069
So, how do I get F2FS?
Firstly, your going to need to have partitions that are in F2FS format and with that you need a recovery which is capable of doing that. In the second post you will see a link for an F2FS supported recovery.
Secondly, your going to need a ROM that supports it. That means, the ROM itself to support mounting partitions correctly, etc. as well as the KERNEL so it can utilise the partitions and actually boot the device.
Yeah okay, so its entirely intertwined, now what?
Well, we now have the recovery, ROM and kernel all working with F2FS we need to put it in to practice
Follow these steps (you will need a micro sdcard inserted into your device)
Complete these steps in their entirety and accurately (if I find out you didn't complete a step or skipped one because you 'know better', leading to a bricked device, I wont be happy). They might seem condescending, but hey 2 extra minutes/step may make the difference.
1. Go to https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/ and download the appropriate stock TWRP (I recommend 2.8.6.0 now) .IMG file AND .zip of your recovery and place onto your EXTERNAL SD CARD (these are in case something doesn't work)
2. While at https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/ download the same IMG.TAR and place those files into your usual ODIN directory (in case we REALLY need to flash back a recovery) - If you need Odin, download that as well.
3. Download my latest ROM zip anything from V17.6 will be supporting f2fs unless stated otherwise. Place this file into your EXTERNAL SDCARD also.
4. Download your latest version of gapps and have a supersu zip handy (latest). Place these files into your EXTERNAL SDCARD
5. Okay download my f2fs supported recovery signified by F2FS in the name (ZIP or IMG will work in TWRP 2.8.6.0). Link in second post or https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03xxxx
6. Place the F2FS supported recovery into your EXTERNAL SDCARD
7. BACKUP all important files from your device's INTERNAL SDCARD as it will be WIPED when formatting to a new partition type (and I mean it will be GONE)
8. reboot into your recovery
9. select the F2FS IMG file or ZIP and flash as necessary.
10. If successful reboot back to recovery. (if not see below, it may be to do with your current twrp version)
11. BACKUP EVERYTHING to EXTERNAL SDCARD (this will save partition info, boot/userdata/system). If super keen, transfer a copy to computer
12. Okay now the partitioning
- Go to wipe
- Go to advanced wipe
- click on cache
- click on repair or change file system
- click on change file system
- click on F2FS
- swipe to confirm
- click back till you get to the partition selection again
- Repeat step 12 changing 'cache' for 'data' and then for 'system'
13. Go back to the main menu
14. Flash ROM zip, Gapps and Super Su
15. Reboot
Optionals
16. Download a free app called 'disk info' from play store
17. check your partitions are now listed as F2FS. if they list as EXT4, you've done something wrong and need to try it again.
QUICK FAQ
Is this safe?
Yes, provided you do it correctly you wont have any issues.
Do it need to do it each time I flash my ROM?
No, you only need to convert once. Then each ROM flash will see your partitions as F2FS and format accordingly.
But I know the device formats system or other partitions during ROM flash, why do I have to do it manually?
Because the ROM zip detects the partition file system type. It will then format it with the correct tool. If you don't essentially set the file system to F2FS how does it know to format with F2FS.
Does my favourite kernel support F2FS?
probably not, check with the developer and ask them to support F2FS. If they are stuck, point them in my direction I will help.
I followed the steps correctly and get a black screen after booting?
You have probably messed something up, this seems to be kernel related. If you tried to flash a custom kernel, don't. Use only the bundled kernel until you know your favourite custom kernel supports f2fs.
Can I have some partitions as EXT4 and some as F2FS?
Probably, but I don't recommend it. Don't half complete this mod, either go full F2FS or remain at EXT4.
What about other partitions I see/know about? Can these be F2FS too?
No, they are not supported
Only System, Data (userdata) and Cache are supported, these are the typical partitions supported by other ROM devs for other devices.
So I don't have a recovery, or when I reboot to recovery it goes straight to the ROM, or I just get a blank screen?
Your recovery isn't working or didn't flash correctly. Your going to have to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 with ODIN and try the steps again (I've tested 2.8.6.0 with the F2FS supported IMG and the ZIP file and both work)
I don't like/want F2FS can I go back?
Yes, follow the steps once again and where it says F2FS in step 12, change it to EXT4.
Can I revert to an old backup, but it was before I changed to F2FS?
Yes you can, but FIRST you MUST re-partition back to EXT4 before restoring your old backup. If that means using an older TWRP (not mine) it will still format your device back to EXT4, just do it BEFORE you restore.
Can I just restore a backup of F2FS?
Yes, but see the above ^^^ you will need to format to F2FS before restoring.
Will EXT4 still be supported?
Yes
Is F2FS better?
Not really sure, I haven't had enough time to play with it. It doesn't feel much 'faster' maybe im just being cynical lol.
I really broke/bricked my device, HELP?
if you have a stock firmware your best solution is to flash that with Odin.
Where's your TWRP source?
here - https://github.com/Joshndroid/androi...ung_lt03wifiue
Can I build my own TWRP?
Yes, but you need omnirom source so its not really worth doing it.
Google Shares
Rules -
1. I WILL NOT be keeping your PM or your email address anywhere once you have been added to the share, i WILL be respecting privacy so I expect the same in return.
2. I WILL however, be creating a google doc (probably in each rom folder) to signify by XDA username only who is in the share. (This is for a couple reasons, 1 - because I can keep track of who I have added to the share, 2 - people can see if they have been added or not to the share to either remind, 3 - It keeps people accountable when their, somewhat, online identity is linked to something.)
3. Do NOT spam me with PM's if I dont get to add you within a day. I am very active on the forums due to mobile access, but to add to the share I will need to be at home. If you have not been added and see your username in the google doc after 2 days, politely PM me again.
4. If you do not use the below template (as it has all the information I will be requiring on my end to add you), You wont be added (so 2 days will pass, you wont see your name or a rom and then check the info u sent me).
5. First download for yourself is going to be rather big (about 4 roms worth). I want to keep atleast a couple roms in the share so that if something is wrong, I can pull a download or whatever at it will not affect anything to severely.
6. You will not have any access to modify or delete the files. I am the owner and you guys will only be able to download/view (which is all you need).
Okay so how can you let me know your in.
First PM me using this template:
XDA Username -
Email (google drive account) -
Rom -
Devices (some have more than one) -
I will add you to the share, I will add you to the local google doc, you will get a device folder and your files will start to sync locally to your PC.
Couple quick FAQ's
How do you know when a new rom is on the share?
You could check it manually, I also was toying with a solution that I could share within the drive that would conduct periodic checks, problem is is that it would rely on a generated file as well as direct links (something that is hard to come by on file sharing services to firstly predict and script & usually requires you to manually click a share button to get a link).
However, there is a google chrome based extention that will notify you by tracking a folder when something new has been added to a google drive folder - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/folder-notifications-for/pamfobflonhoblkekglgpplpibfnckna
This will only track and send an email based on tracking 1 folder.
I am looking into the paid version myself ($2 - http://ez34.net/ezdrive/folder-notif) that will track 10 folders (which is a lot).
Can I get roms from the other locations?
Yes. I have done this setup to quicken my workflow to get roms out, the quicker you guys get them, the happier you's are. Now the primary issue I have it sync'ing to other file services to ensure I limit my bandwidth in uploading (to reduce wait times) and to keep things concurrent across. If i upload to google drive first and sync to other locations on my end, its quicker than me manually uploading to locations.
Remember the first few days I will be spammed with PM's to add everyone who wants to join, I may be a bit slow. But once that is out of the way it will be back to usual and we will then see the benefit of it. I am big on automation, the more I can automate, including checks and failsafes, the more we become something like can be provided by big rom providers.
so;
why did i make a new thread?
Well, i was tired of spamming the other thread that is of a nightly status with these unofficial builds. I pretty much run these builds each time i run a temasek build so they will be frequent enough.
Why havnt you just submitted to CM your the maintainer?
Well, everything is not fixed yet i have been looking at the camera and once that is fixed will probably submit it for nightly status for cm-13.0
what will happen then?
This will be the main thread for cm-13.0 as it continues on, through these unofficial builds and hopefully on to nightlies once the camera is done.
what about android N?
Waaaaaaaay to early to speculate about that yet.
Anything different to base cm-13.0?
Slightly, as the rom is built using UBERTC 4.9 for the rom, the kernel specifially is untouched (unlike temasek builds)
New build March 10 2016 is up on basketbuild and google shares... cheers
Further for some rom updates whatever/follow me on twitter (DW i don't spam) - @joshndroid
Thanks you for the ROM!
This is This is stable or beta or testing? Thanks
Is da kernel changes da only difference from dis an your temasek build an which do u think is more stable...?

I prefer to use the temasek build, because of the temasek settings and the omniswitch support, but i think both releases are stable.

Both have the same stability I havnt had one reboot on either rom but I don't get to use it enough because it gets flashed so much.
Apart from rom changes in temasek with more settings and stuff in the Temasek version. This version is vanilla cm builds.
Both roms are built with ubertc for the rom itself and there is no further kernel optimization for this rom

Gapps for temasek cm13 - difficulty
I flashed the temasek cm13 to my 600. Works cool, except I can't find a gapps 6.0 package that works. Every time I flash the gapps, I get two errors that take over the tablet: "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and "unfortunately google play services has stopped." I've tried the recommended gapps here, and the a-gapps package.
Any ideas on getting gapps to work here? Any other recommended gapps packages?
Thanx in advance...

Bro I have a perfectly fine gapps package linked in second post (opengapps.org)...
These packages work fine for 7 devices I use.
yeah, I fixed it. it wasn't the gapps package. I keep forgetting that when flashing a new rom you need to immediately flash gapps without rebooting in between. the older I get, the more drips out of my colander-brain...

Preparing SD card causes black screen
I had a drop down when said a new sd card had been detected. I could either use it for photos or make it non removable (guess that means Linux format). I requested the sd card be configured and not make removable. I got an instant black screen, which i left over night , the tablet was no longer frozen but the partition table on the sdcard was corrupt.
Any ideas how to get this to work ?

How-To "Safestrap" (Just copied from Hascode's blog)
It is highly recommended to install rom derived from the CyanogenMod or other AOSP based roms only on slot1
Download SafeStrap 3.11.apk here: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/Safestrap-RAZR-D4-BIO-3.11.apk
[ New Safestrap v3.04 Video by DMX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-qK7kL0W3o&feature=youtu.be ]
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I’ll call this “stock” system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a “2nd system” (in this case, it’s a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: “/sdcard”). Once installed, you will see a “Splashscreen” giving you the option to hit “menu” to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.2.2.1 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I’ve added to TWRP are mostly located under the “Boot Options” menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (up to 4) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for 3 different sizes of /data partitions: 1GB, 2GB and 3GB. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the “Activate” button. Once active, you will see the “rom-slot#” up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the “stock” ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, “Install” to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
IF COMING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF SAFESTRAP (v2.x):
You will want to move the entire “/sdcard/safestrap” directory to the external SD card (/sdcard-ext). These are your backups and in a catastrophic situation you could revert to Safestrap v2 and use them.
Go into the existing version of Safestrap and use the “Remove Recovery” button to remove the Safestrap files from the stock /system.
And lastly, remove the APK from the device as you would any other app.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Download the Safestrap APK from here.
Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click “Install”.
(If updating from an existing Safestrap v3 you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the “Yes” equivalent to this message.)
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won’t try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the “Install Recovery” button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the “Status:” should say “Installed” when you’re done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
That’s it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3
SAFESTRAP RECOVERY (v3):
As of version 3.0, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.2.2.1. For more on TWRP you can visit their website: http://www.teamw.in/
WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be “Safe” for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won’t be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.
MAIN MENU:
Boot Options: This area is for managing your virtual ROM-slots. You create a new ROM-slot by clicking on one and if it doesn’t exist you will be prompted to create it. Follow the on-screen guides. Once a ROM-slot is created you select that slot to activate or delete it. Under each ROM slot (once created) you can:
Activate: Makes the chosen ROM-slot the “current” one, where almost all of the features of TWRP affect that slot. This will also be the ROM that is booted.
Set Nickname: For convenience you can set a small name for each ROM-slot. This is limited to 10 characters as it will eventually be added to the beginning of backup names. This name is shown on the ROM-slot button once it is set.
Fix FS (coming in the future, if needed) This could potentially be a button to perform file system checks on the ROM-slot and fix any errors found.
Delete: Delete the ROM-slot files (disabled if the ROM is active — please choose another ROM-slot to activate and then come back) USE WITH CAUTION, THERE’S NO GETTING THESE BACK UNLESS YOU HAVE BACKUPS.
Install: This is for flashing a .zip file to the currently active system. Currently, this is disabled for the stock system. In a future release I will enable flashing to the stock system.
Backup / Restore: This should be self-explanitory, but you use these options for making backups of the currently selected system. Or restoring a previously made backup to the currently selected system (regardless of where you backed it up from). DON’T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Mount: You can manually manage mounts here. NOTE: the “system”, “data” and “cache” mounts will use the currently selected ROM-slot.
Wipe: Manually erase portions of the device. NOTE: You only have 1 internal and 1 external SD card. These are not “virtual” if you erase them. They are gone. Use with caution. Wiping the “system” when “stock” ROM is selected has been disabled. You can thank me later.
Advanced:
Copy Log to SD: Experienced something odd and want to report it? DO THIS and include the log when you send me the report. Otherwise, the recovery.log will disappear when you reboot.
Fix Permissions: This can fix up ROMs which are displaying odd force close issues, etc. You will probably never need to do this.
Partition SD Card: You can add ext3 partitions to the external SD card if you want. I’m not sure we have much of a need for this on our devices.
File Manager: This works like any other file manager inside Android. You can thank the TWRP people for this, because it is quite possibly one of the best features I’ve ever seen in a recovery.
Terminal Command: Also very handy for those once in a while moments when you have to do something via terminal but don’t have adb handy. USE WITH CAUTION
Settings:
Here you can turn on and off signature verification of .zip files
Force MD5 sum checks on .zip files prior to flashing
“Use rm -rf instead of formatting” will always be checked so that Safestrap will not break partition signatures on locked devices
There are a few other checkbox options in here. Please know what you are doing.
Simulate most actions for theme testing. If you have this checked, Safestrap/TWRP will not perform most actions but show the dialog boxes so you can review theme elements. If you turn this on, it STAYS ON till you turn it off. And will show “SIMULATING ACTIONS” up top.
Set the Time Zone (use “Set Time Zone” button after choosing which time zone you want)
Restore Defaults. Use this to reset all options back to default as it came when you installed for the first time. Does not erase backups or ROM-slots, tho it might change the active slot.
Reboot: Choose from 2 options for rebooting “System” which performs a reset/reboot of the device and “Power Off” which turns the device off.
How-To "Boot Menu Manager" (Just copied from Whirleyes site)
As its name suggest, Boot Menu Manager is a Multi-ROM boot manager.
It consist of a CWM-based recovery, a boot menu & configuration app.
* Requires ROOT permission *
* Only for Motorola Razr/Droid Razr (codename spyder)
Installation:
Very easy, just install it from Play Store on any system(slot) you currently using.
No need to reboot to main system, included installer is smart enough to do it's job.
Known bugs for 0.3.4: (so you don't have to give a 4 star rating)
- Can't modify bootmenu setting by manager app

Many thanks to Whirleyes and Hashcode for their custom recoveries, without which we couldn't boot custom roms!
Thanks to Jack'O for maintaining a thread for Carbon on the Spyder while we were busy making the actual Rom for it. Now that we got some time freed up we made this official thread for Carbon on the Spyder/UMTS-Spyder up and running. Jack'O will remain the unofficial maintainer of this thread and be happy to answer all of your questions I am sure . Thanks Jack'O!
For users interested in Carbon and coming from stock, one of our users, hrishi21007, was kind enough to make a video tutorial on how to install BMM recovery and to then flash Carbon onto your Razr. Hopefully this will help anyone new to our ROM or to BMM. Thanks hrishi21007

Go back into safestrap, wipe cache/dalvik & reflash the ROM & gapps all in the same session. After it's done, wipe cache/dalvik again & fix permissions in safestrap & reboot.

The correct gapps to use with this rom are gapps 20130301, do not use any earlier version or you will have issues.
Slim gapps work as well, especially for the dark toggle. Consider updating the OP with install instructions? Safestrap slot one? I switched to BMM and I can't remember.

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5 (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*
* Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading
* cause of male impotence.
*/
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed.
This rom is for both the Nook Tablet 512M/8GB and 1GB/16GB versions. The device code name is "acclaim".
Prerequisites:
A recovery. To install a recovery when coming from a stock device, you need to prepare a special SD card. Installation instructions can be found here on xda.
Installation:
Grab a new recovery (e.g. here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...cclaim-eng-recovery-UNOFFICIAL-20150606.0.img) and flash it with fastboot.
If you have a CM 10.1 or CM 11 installed, flash the new recovery and try the updater, otherwise download the zip from nightlies, boot to CWM and flash it.
Once a version is installed (and all bugs fixed), you will be able to use CM Updater
Settings->About tablet->CyanogenMod updates->Refresh
THE NEW NIGHTLIES HAVE EMULATED STORAGE ENABLED. YOU LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP!!!! THE INTERNAL EMMC 1GB PARTITION IS ALSO NOT ACCESSIBLE ANYMORE. COPY THE CONTENT. THE EXTERNAL SDCARD IS NOT USED ANYMORE AS PRIMARY STORAGE. ALL APP DATA ON THE SDCARD WILL BE LOST. I ALSO RECOMMEND TO WIPE.
BACKUP!
RE-PARTITIONING IS NOT MANDATORY. IF YOU WANT TO RECLAIM THE 1GB PARTITION (called media) YOU CAN TRY TO FOLLOW THE RE-PARTITION GUIDE:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wSAaAZfQcnvkiHKlbZ7_H1h67m2kx0mq-p3Wjgue3qA/edit?usp=sharing
PLEASE COMMENT ON THE DOCUMENT IF SOMETHING IS NOT CLEAR.
Building:
The CM wiki explains that here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_acclaim
Returning to stock BN firmware:
If you have installed above rom and the CWM recovery and you really hate it and want to go back to stock, you may wish to try to flash the original acclaim_update.zip from BN. You have to unzip that file and edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Drop the first two lines here:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "blaze" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "blaze");
Zip the package again. Then go to recovery, flash the zip, wipe, and reboot.
Support:
For any issues encountered, please post into this forum, but add steps to reproduce and dmesg, logcat and audit.log information. If you don't know what this is or how to get them, try to find that out first before posting here.
Thanks:
hashcode, ntemis, kuzma30, fattire, mik_os, chrmhoffmann, and many others that contribute to cyanogenmod and especially this version.
kuzma30 - great kernel job
hashcode - we have reused lots of your work and effort for the various omap devices (esp kindle fire). It is thanks to you mainly that we are now official CM device. Also many thanks for the L bringup help.
mik_os - great touchscreen firmware flasher and other efforts
fattire - for helping us everywhere he can
ntemis - thanks for giving so much energy to this - esp for 4.4 and L I have copied lots of things from you
DISCLAIMER:
- update the CWM if you come from older versions - otherwise you'll see funny error messages when installing zip
- It is possible that you need to wipe your device. I did not do that, but...
- Also you must flash gapps. It can be found somewhere....
ATTENTION: IT SEEMS THAT DHACKER'S L GAPPS ARE TOO BIG TO FIT INTO THE SYSTEM PARTITION. Try to find a smaller one.
- The SELINUX policies are enforced now.
Known issues:
- system partition is too small for full gapps. use a mini gapp package.
- the touchscreen firmware flasher doesn't work on L. Use CM11 to flash it first.
Recently fixed:
- f2fs
- kernel updated to latest 3.0 stable
- developer settings and setup wizard (if you select backup) crash. that's fixed in nightly from 8-FEB-15.
- device encryption does work now (but who wants to do that? the device is laggy enough already )
- cmupdate / cm recovery: adb reboot recovery and cmupdater and auto install. Hopefully this is fixed now (not in nice way, but...). You need sdcard inserted to make this work (but I guess everybody has that anyway).
Get it from
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim
Get ENG recovery from here. It allows to adb into recovery even when data is wiped.

Amazing work Chris, Let the flashing begin.
Been waiting for this for quite a while! I can put off learning to build for another few months!
For gapps, I recommend TKRuzze's Gapps. (Just search for them on Google.) His Pico-Gapps package is pretty lightweight.
UPDATE: Couldn't flash with the provided recovery. I was able to flash it successfully using TWRP 2.8.4.0 though.
Hi,
Odd. I flashed the same (before uploading).
Did you upgrade recovery? Did you check md5 of download?

Download the latest version, rename it to "recovery.img". Flash it in fastboot.
If you'd rather not go that route, download a flashable of an older version of TWRP, use 7zip to delete the recovery.img in that folder, then move this new TWRP into that folder. Then flash that.

Same issue here ... used TWRP ... everything seems to work except I don't have an SD card ... which is a deal breaker for this tablet.
UPDATE: Used the wrong GAPPS the first time ... working fine now ... sluggish, but nothing seems to be broken ... and I didn't do a factory reset ... just cache/davlik cache clear then flash
Get ready for Bexus-L
Kickass! Thank you to every dev who made it possible for Android L to be on NT!
Question: is it absolutely mandatory to install Google's crapware Gapps? I use F-Droid on all my other Android devices. They run much lighter.
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------
Edit: It works without Gapps. Also, bug found: if you enable development settings, when you tap on developer options, it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
Edit2: Kodi (XBMC) for Android does not work. Says "Cannot parse CPU features." Didn't happen on CM11.
Tell me more about this F-Droid ... what does it gain me over GAPPs? Performance?

Google's apps come with Google's playstore, sync services, etc, which add overhead to wi-fi and CPU cycles.
F-droid doesn't have those services. It's pretty much like a Linux package manager--you use it to install and keep track of open source packages.
Besides, I only use my phones and tablets for Kodi and phone calls. I'm not into Google Hangouts or YouTube, etc. I don't take pictures, I don't use the GPS...
IMO, I find Android to be completely useless. I wish there was a completely open source and open hardware Linux running phone. With Linux, you can do whatever you want.
I had to go back to CM11 ... superuser appears to be broken when I go to CM12 ... is there a fix for this?

I haven't installed cm12 on my nook tablet yet, but on other cm12 installs, you have to enable superuser in Settings / Developer options / Root access. Click one of the boxes other than the default "Disabled". If that doesn't work, some folks swear by SuperSU, which you can find in the Play Store
Want to update to CM13? Read this first!
Welcome to my upgrade guide that will allow users to painlessly upgrade from an earlier version of android to CM13.
Background info:
Our Cyanogenmod maintainer, Lysergic Acid, started bring alpha builds of Cyanogenmod 13 since October of last year. Now, we have official nightlies on our device which just proves how strong of a device we have and how strong we are as a community on XDA. With all of the exciting new features Marshmallow brings to the table, people have been flashing CM13 without reading any precautions or information about the possible consequences of not doing a particular step or procedure. With this guide, you will learn how to successfully flash CM13 on a device, everytime!
This guide will assume you are on a rooted custom ROM with a working custom recovery. It will not guide users how to update from stock ROM to CM13. If you haven't rooted your phone yet or are on stock ROM, use a different guide to install a rooted custom ROM (KK or LP preferred) then follow this guide.
Another important tip is to read the issues post before flashing the latest build of CM13. There could be issues that you could encounter so make sure to read before flashing!
How to install:
CM13 is available to install for CM12.1 users via the OTA updater. However, updating to CM13 via OTA updater is buggy and will remove gapps and Isorec Recovery. If you receive notifications about the CM13 update, don't use the OTA updater! Use this guide below instead.
Backup your current ROM in TWRP or CWM! You will need to do this just in-case something goes wrong during the upgrade process or you don't like CM13 in general. If you are using Cyanogen recovery from CM12.1, you should flash a isorec recovery from this thread. TWRP or CWM are both fine. Note: If you are using a build earlier than 20160119 nightly or not using one of Lanchon's isorec kernels, you will not be able to use a isorec recovery. This will not apply to people on older versions of android (for older versions of android, KK compatible recovery or higher is all you need).
If you require to use Gapps, make sure to re-partition your phone now if you haven't done so! This can be done by following one of the guides linked in the Gapps section. It is required for users to re-partition their system partition to 1GB to prevent issues when flashing gapps. Please also note that when upgrading from an older ROM, you must flash a newer Gapps to keep Gapps on your phone.
Download CM13 from the official cyanogenmod downloads page onto your phone. Update: The Cyanogenmod downloads page is gone, instead download from here.
If you are in CWM, while on the main menu, choose factory reset. Then go into mounts and storage and select format system. If you are in TWRP, go into the wipe menu, select advanced wipe, check wipe system, data and cache, then swipe the bar to wipe.
Flash the CM13 zip.
(Optional)Install Gapps (if you've re-partitioned already, if you didn't, you will get errors!).
(Highly recommended)If you don't have isorec recovery already installed, you should flash an isorec recovery here: Thread link
Reboot your device. If the recovery prompts if you want to fix root, always select NO because root installer is broken.
I will repeat what I said earlier but with more explanation. Why don't I have a guide on how to update to CM13 via OTA? OTA update from CM12.1 to CM13 is broken! You will lose gapps and it will cause a lot of problems to user. Just follow the above guide to flash update manually and no issues will be encountered.
Gapps on Android Marshmallow:
Recommended Gapps: OpenGapps Pico
What to select on OpenGapps page: ARM>6.0>Pico
While flashing Gapps is an optional step during the upgrade process, many people require the Google Play store to install all of their apps. It is required for people who want to flash gapps to increase their system partition to 1GB (or more). Stock partition sizes have a system partition size of about 500MB which is not enough to hold even the smallest gapps packages available!
Re-partition guides
You can re-partition your device by following my guide (Requires PC): http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162 or Lanchon's guide (Doesn't require PC): http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tool-lanchon-repit-data-sparing-t3358036
If you have working recovery, use Lanchon's guide (second link). Otherwise, my guide (first link) will work for everyone else.
Please note that re-partitioning your device via ODIN (first link) will delete all of your data, including your internal storage which contains all of your personal files. You must backup all of your files to an external sd card or PC if you want to keep them! However Lanchon's guide (second link) keeps all of your personal data but requires a working custom recovery!
Please also note about the naming of the zip/pit files!
If you get error 70 while flashing Gapps, make sure you are using the re-partition guides properly, you may have missed a step or forgot to do something. If you didn't bother reading all of the information I've given and decide to post about your error, you will be told to read the information properly and nothing else. All help was given already If you get some other error, read the OpenGapps FAQ.
Stock Cyanogen Recovery:
CM13 Stock Cyanogen Recovery is a basic recovery that allows you to flash zips from your internal and external sd storages. It provides wipe options and ADB flashing support, but was only designed to provide the basic tools for flashing. Although it works fine in recent builds of CM13, it is highly recommended that you use an Isorec Recovery like TWRP.
Update: Cyanogen recovery has fixed mounting support for internal and external sd as of the 5th of October nightlies. The steps below now only apply to people who want to use older CM13 builds.
If you have build 20161005 or later, you can now easily switch to an Isorec recovery simply by flashing it via Cyanogen recovery. You can not do this in older builds!
Isorec install on builds older than 20161005
1. ADB Sideload Method (requires PC)
This is the easiest and quickest method to restore Isorec Recovery on your device. However it will require ADB/Fastboot tools to be installed on your computer. You also need to enable ADB debugging and enable root access for ADB in the development settings to use this method. If you don't have ADB/Fastboot tools installed, download it from this thread
Download recovery-Lanchon-IsoRec-TWRP-2.8.7.0-20160113-i9100-(by-arnab).zip onto your PC
If you haven't enabled ADB debugging and root for ADB, do this now in the development settings menu
Reboot your phone into Cyanogen recovery
Select apply update from ADB sideload
In the ADB/Fastboot folder containing ADB.exe, hold shift + right click the window to open up the folder menu.
Select open command line menu here
Type or copy and paste this command: adb sideload recovery-Lanchon-IsoRec-TWRP-2.8.7.0-20160113-i9100-(by-arnab).zip
Cyanogen recovery should begin flashing TWRP recovery
Once completed, reboot your device
2. ODIN method (requires PC)
This method requires ODIN to be installed on your computer. You will be connecting your phone to the computer which may or may not be a problem for some users.
Put your phone into download mode (Power key, home button, Volume Down button)
Connect your phone to your PC
Open ODIN. Make sure that it detects your device. If it doesn't, check if you have the right drivers installed and if the usb cable/port is damaged
Download ODIN-flashable CM12.1 kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57974756&postcount=4 Don't worry if it isn't CM13 kernel, you will have to reflash CM13 anyway! If you don't know which one to choose, the TWRP CM12.1 kernel is fine.
Select the CM12.1 kernel as PDA (or AP)
Make sure you untick auto-reboot
Start the flash.
Once flash is successful, disconnect your phone from your PC. Remove your phone battery, then reinsert it.
Get into recovery mode (Volume Up, Power Key, Home button)
Repeat CM13 flashing guide above without any backup.
If you have linux, use JOdin instead of ODIN.
3. Terminal method (Doesn't require PC)
This method requires a terminal emulator. Either download one from the google play store or enable the in-built terminal emulator in development settings. Follow the guide carefully. You can use this method if your USB port is broken.
See Lanchon's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65164875&postcount=1002
As mentioned in Lanchon's post, IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE IN ONE SINGLE CHARACTER YOU TYPE IN THE TERMINAL, YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE FOREVER!!!
Root on Android Marshmallow
CM13 has root included, however it is disabled by default. To enable root, you need to enable root for apps in the developer options menu (tap the build number in about phone until it has been enabled). I recommend allowing root access for ADB too because this can help you recover from some problems that may occur in the future.
You may be familiar with the root tool, SuperSU, and it may have been installed in CM12.1 or earlier versions of android. Android Marshmallow has a different way of rooting the device. It is not compatible with older versions of root.
Currently, SuperSU doesn't work on CM13. Do not attempt to install it with system method and don't try to install it with systemless method.
How to update to a newer build of CM13
1. OTA Updater method
This method of updating Cyanogenmod is usually preferred by many users because it is ready-to-use and is quite simple to do.
Go into settings>about phone>system updates
If there is a new build available, press the download button. The OTA updater will now download the update to your phone
Once it finishes downloading, it will prompt you if you want to install the update. Confirm that you want to update and your phone should restart
Your phone will reboot into recovery mode. The update process is automated. Once the progress bar is full, your phone should reboot again.
If your phone doesn't bootloop and you get to the android is upgrading screen, you have successfully updated CM13!
2. CyanDelta Update method (Popular method)
This method of updating Cyanogenmod is most beneficial to people who want to save bandwidth and/or want to download the update via their mobile data. This method typically saves around 200MB of data which makes it a quick way of updating, without sacrificing stability.
Download Cyandelta from the google play store
Download from CyanogenMod website the .zip file of the ROM you are using. Please note that if you haven't saved a copy of your current build onto your phone, the Cyanogenmod Downloads server usually deletes old nightlies. Update: The Cyanogenmod downloads page is gone, instead download from here.
Launch CyanDelta and select the .zip file you just downloaded from CM website. CyanDelta will import them and will create a new bigger zip in “Cyandelta” directory in the root of sdcard.
When an update will be available, a notification will appear. Now you can launch CyanDelta and start the download by simply clicking a button!
The new zip will be placed in “Cyandelta” dir in the root of sdcard. Now you can install it manually from recovery, or you can press “Install zip”. Cyandelta will automatically reboot to recovery, install the zip, wipe cache partition and reboot (this requires root permission).
If you are stuck using the CyanDelta update method, check out their FAQ on their website.
3. Manual method (Recommended)
If you have issues using the other methods to update CM13, you can also install the update manually via recovery. This method usually has the greatest success rate.
Backup your current ROM in TWRP or CWM! You will need to do this just in-case something goes wrong during the update process. If you don't have Isorec TWRP or CWM, use the guide above to reinstall CM13 with a working recovery!
Download newer CM13 build from the official cyanogenmod downloads page onto your phone. Note: Old cyanogenmod nightlies are usually deleted from the Cyanogenmod server if you haven't downloaded your current build onto your phone yet. Update: The Cyanogenmod downloads page is gone, instead download from here.
Flash the CM13 zip
Wipe cache
Reboot your device. If the recovery prompts if you want to fix root, always select NO because root installer is broken. If your phone doesn't bootloop and you get to the android is upgrading screen, you have successfully updated CM13!
New users are encouraged to post questions about CM13 here and not in the CM13 Development thread, this will leave everyone happy and everyone gets what they want
Thanks to Lysergic_Acid for CM13, Cyanogenmod team, CyanDelta team, arnab for his TWRP isorec recovery, Lanchon for his Isorec kernels, repartition script, Isorec recovery and guides.

MX Player can not use HW+ decoder. Instead, use HW or SW decoder. The developer of MX player is working on a fix.
Cyanogenmod OTA Updater sometimes can be buggy. MD5 errors, download errors, installation errors. Although it is working fine for most people, I still recommend just to flash manually via recovery!!!
Internal storage and external storage is not labelled correctly and has a random name. This is not a bug but a feature of one of the mounting ways of MM.
Screenrecorder works for some users, however it seems that you can not playback them on your phone. Workaround: Play the videos using your PC.
Some apps may have trouble detecting internal/external storage.
Some bluetooth devices may not behave properly or connect
Multiple issues with F2FS. Please note that this FS is still relatively new for our device so bugs are likely to be experience. Stay on ext4 for best stability!
Some people have reported that they have lost connection to their mobile network. This usually can be fixed by resetting APNs. If this doesn't help, you may need to downgrade back to stock 4.1.2 ROM.
MMS video file (.3pg format) will not play on the default video player. Workaround: Play the video through MX Player on SW renderer.
Hardware button is always on until screen is switched off. Workaround: After installing the BLN MOD and synapse, you can control the timeout values.
You may experience reboots when you receive phone calls
More to be added later
Fixed issues:
(from latest issue solved to earliest)
Cyanogen Recovery can not mount internal and external storage. You can not flash zips via internal or external storage. ADB sideload or other methods of flashing can be used instead. Fixed in nightly 20161005
Battery Percentage Incorrect and Causing Constant Low Battery Warnings. Fixed in nightly 20160818
As of the 20160722 nightly, decryption of /data partition is broken. Keyboard can't be switched to enter digits. Fixed in nightly 20160724
As of the 20160722 nightly, setup wizard is broken. When you press next, the notification bar drops down instead of the next screen showing. Fixed in nightly 20160724
Some people have reported that the youtube app (play store version) displays green lines during playback.
Front camera errors in recent builds
Phone dialer is currently broken Workaround: Use google dialer from Google Play Store
Live lockscreen has multiple issues being experienced in recent builds.
Nightly 20160326 is experiencing Google Play Launcher FCs. Please stay on a earlier build until this is fixed. Fixed in nightly 20160329
People who are using a non-english language may experience Clock app FCs. This problem is under investigation. Update: Fixed in nightly 20160325
Doze feature can not optimize any apps. This is not a bug, doze is disabled on our device! Please ignore this menu! Update: Fixed in nightly 20160325. Note: This is the app standby feature that is now working and not motion sensor doze!
Nightly 20160323 is experiencing CM file manager FCs Fixed in nightly 20160325
Nightly build 20160216 is currently affected by the no signal bug and dialer issues. Update: Calling issues have been fixed in nightly builds 20160218 or newer. If you are on build 20160216, you should update immediately to fix this issue.
FAQ
Q: What is cyanogenmod?
A: CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Q: What version of android is CM13 based on?
A: Android Marshmallow 6.0.1
Q: What is Gapps?
A: Google Apps (Gapps) is an app package containing the Google Framework which is required for most apps from Google to function. This will include the Google Play Store and other Google apps and services depending on what setup you select (it varies on what Gapps package you select, I recommend OpenGapps).
Q: Is this ROM pre-rooted?
A: CM13 has root included, however it is disabled by default. To enable root, you need to enable root for apps in the developer options menu (tap the build number in about phone until it has been enabled). I recommend allowing root access for adb too because this can help you recover from some problems that may occur in the future.
Q: I get error 70 when flashing gapps. What can I do to solve it?
A: Error 70 means that you have insufficient space available in the system partition. Your device does not have sufficient space available in the system partition to install the Open GApps package. As I have said in my guide, you will need to repartition your system partition using one of the links in the gapps installation section of my guide. Then only you will be able to install gapps on your phone.
Q: Help me! My phone says that sdcard0 is corrupted! What can I do to solve it?
A: If you've re-partitioned your device recently using the ODIN method, it is highly likely that you forgot to format your internal sd card. You can do this in the recovery by selecting sdcard0 or internal sd, format as vfat (fat) or default (CWM). Alternatively, you can use your computer to format it manually by mounting your phone's storage via recovery then using a formatting utility such as the built-in windows formatting tool.
Q: Does xyz app work with CM13?
A: I don't know. Check the app's website, check the google play store, check other users comments. Google is your best friend. If not, try it out for yourself! Some apps require selinux to be set to permissive, you can do this in apps like SELinuxModeChanger.
Q: Does SuperSU work on CM13?
A: While there are ways to get SuperSU working, this guide is only here to provide basic procedures. I do not recommend new users to install SuperSU on any Android 6.0 ROM.
Q: My apps that require root say that I need busybox to use the app. What should I do?
A: You do what it tells you to do. Download busybox installer from the app store, install busybox and your app will hopefully work as it should.
Q: What happened to busybox? It was available on older android versions but why do I have to install it myself on CM13?
A: Busybox was replaced with toybox in CM13. As a result, you can not run apps that require busybox so you need to install a busybox installer from the google play store.
Q: Does GPS work well on CM13?
A: Reports have shown that GPS is still not reliable like in CM12.1.
Q: Does CM13 have Isorec Recovery Support?
A: Yes, it does. However CM13 comes with CM recovery as the default recovery.
Q: Does xposed work on CM13?
A: Yes it does. Use the latest installer (xposed-v80-sdk23-arm or newer) and make sure selinux is set to permissive.
Q: Which is better, CM13 or CM12.1?
A: CM13 is still new for our device. Naturally, there will be bugs experienced by users. Over time, the ROM will mature and it will become stable for everyone to use. Try it out for yourself and see which one is best for you
Q: Can I install CM13 on {different S2 model}?
A: If it is just a carrier/region variant of the international s2 i9100, it should work without problems. If it is different physically (hardware), then it will not work!
Q: Battery life sucks on CM13! What happened to doze mode?
A: Our device lacks the (low power) sensors that take advantage of this feature, therefore making it useless so it was disabled. Don't forget our device (s2) is quite old now, it shouldn't be a surprise that we can't take advantage of new features like this.
Q: Battery life sucks on CM13! (General)
A: Download and install betterbatterystats onto your device. Check what app is the culprit to your poor battery life. If there are no apps that are behaving strangely, try reflashing your current ROM and making sure to factory reset and format system partition. A lot of battery problems are created by the user, maybe brightness is set too high, change the screen timeout delay, etc.
Q: Can I update to CM13 without a computer?
A: Yes you can. I have included guides/steps that are not computer dependent if you haven't noticed already. If you have a broken USB port, you need to get it fixed ASAP because if anything happens during the flashing process, your phone is useless!
Q: My device runs slow on CM13. Can I do anything to make it go faster?
A: Make sure to close all apps that are not needed. Change swappiness to a lower value or 0. Change CPU governor parameters: Up threshold, sampling rate. Make these values smaller to give more performance. Remove apps that may be hogging up your CPU/RAM. Reboot, it helps
Q: What does android security patch level mean?
A: Google regularly updates their newer android versions with security fixes. Cyanogenmod will apply those fixes to their ROM so you will stay protected as well.
Q: Why is xyz feature not available in CM13 when it was available in CM12.1?
A: It is a good possibility that Cyanogenmod are not ready to add the feature yet. It could still need more internal testing or other more important features have to be added first for adding it to the ROM.
Q: Why can't I install gapps?
A: Now before you post this, have you read the post given by the users on the CM13 thread? I have said in my guide that in order to flash gapps, you will need a larger system partition. Please re-read the guide and make sure to read carefully before posting questions.
Q: What is BLN?
A: BLN (Backlight Notification) is a feature which uses your phone's hardware button lights to notify you whenever you receive a notification such as SMS, email, etc.
Q: How do I use BLN?
A: BLN is disabled by default. You need to use Synapse to configure it. See this thread
Q: How do I change the behavior of BLN?
A: See this thread
Q: Will BLN drain my battery?
A: BLN (not BLN without wakelock) prevents your CPU from going to deep sleep mode (low power CPU mode to save battery) which will drain your battery quicker versus having it disabled. Lighting up your hardware buttons will also use a little more power, so please take these factors into account before posting about poor battery life.
Q: Why is my button backlight always on?
A: See this thread
Tuning guide
For performance
These changes require an app (e.g. Kernel Adiutor) that can change tune kernel parameters
Change CPU governor to PegasusQ
Change swappiness to 20
Change I/O scheduler from CFQ to Deadline

Repartition is highly recommended, otherwise you will have a hard time finding a gapps package that will work. Use lanchon's guide linked in the OP now that you have a working recovery.
gsstudios
Got it. I'll try as soon as possible . Phone looks smooth atm. thx to u
Don't have problem to update from CM OTA and didn't lost IsoRec with this method.
Also if you flash VM13 then IsoRec, you don't need to flash IsoRec anymore after next CM13 flash.

Good work @gsstudios
I would add that CyanDelta is a valid way of updating, been using it reliably for days, saves 200mb+ downloads every night

You have good luck then However, it still needs to be worked on.
Although it is not required to reflash isorec, I include it anyway in the steps to prevent issues that may occur anyway. That way, users are 100% sure that they don't end up with cyanogen recovery.

Thanks for your work and this nice guide.
In this guide in the repartition part where is instructed
to flash kernel with ODIN, i would instruct to set the option
for AUTOMATIC RESET after flash to OFF, and pull battery after flash.
Because the flash happens so quickly and its a little difficult to
do the 3-finger boot then.
Best regards.
Thanks for this thread, I wanted to ask questions on the other thread but think the devs are getting overwhelmed by basic questions so this thread is perfect.
I wanted to ask what exact steps I need to take as I am on cm12 with cyan recovery and it's been years since I flashed this phone so I don't want to brick it. I am on the original 512mb system partition.
I have Ubuntu not windows and struggling to get jodin loading and heimdall worries me a bit so I am going to borrow a windows machine later but before I do I want to make sure I have the steps right.
So I figure I need to install Odin, then use this to flash a twrp kernel first to get my recovery is that right? And at the same time I need to repit so I can do both things at once, then reboot my phone into twrp have I got that bit right?
Next I need to format the partitions, then reboot again into twrp? At the next reboot I then can flash cm13 from an external zip file, isorec and gapps all at once, then reboot again and the handset should come up?
I hope I don't upset anyone asking all this and I really appreciate help, for the past 2 weeks I have been googling and reading the other thread to make sure I have understood it right but bit put off from asking questions that might upset others.
OP updated with recommendations from other users. Thanks for the suggestions!
Remember that new users are encouraged to post in this thread as it was specifically created to help new users install/update CM13.
gsstudios
System partition looks risky to me. Is there any other way to flash gapps ? I can format internal memory if it helps. Im using phone to connect internet. If there is something wrong with partition i cannot solve it ..
Very nice1! You could add that Lanchons repitting method keeps all data, but nevertheless, a backup is always recommended.

Hey guys, today i will show DualBootPatcher one of the best apps for multi ROMs (i think this is the unique app for this ).
I have added support for the Lenovo Vibe P1
Link
I am not the creator, just the supporter
Disclaimer
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.
Requirements
1. A Custom Recovery (TWRP or PhilZ Touch)
2. A ROM
3. The Dualboot Patcher - From here (Download the APK in Downloads Section)
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
NOTE: If you want to dualboot a Stock ROM, I highly recommend installing Stock as the primary ROM. Otherwise, any mods will need to be patched before flashing.
What's supported?
Except Toaster and Alarm clocks pretty much everything is supported.
How to use the patcher
Android
Download the patcher apk and run it. Tap "Patch Zip File" from the navigation drawer and choose the file you want to patch.
Windows (GUI)
Double click DualBootPatcher.exe and choose the file you want to patch.
--------
After patching the zip file, a new file, like some_rom_dual.zip file will be created.
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and the DualBootUtilities.zip from the download section below.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Dual: Dual/Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
With that said, let's get to the "how to"!
First, boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
Go to "Patch zip file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. You can select one of the installation locations described above.
There are two ways of flashing the patched zip file. You can either flash it normally from recovery or flash it using the in-app flashing feature. Both methods are explained below.
Flashing from recovery
To flash from recovery, just flash the patched zip file like you would for any other zip. Nice and simple.
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.
A normal backup from recovery will backup every ROM. If you would like to back up ROMs individually, please see @rlorange's awesome tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491299
App and data sharing
DualBootPatcher very recently got support for sharing apps and their data across ROMs. Maybe sharing is somewhat of a misleading term. The feature actually makes Android load the shared apps and data from a centralized location, /data/multiboot/_appsharing. So you're not sharing apps from one ROM to another per se. The ROMs are just loading the apps from one shared location. Let me make this clearer with an analogy.
Think of the people in a company office as ROMs. You want to share with your coworkers some documents (apps). Instead of telling them to come over to your desk to see those documents (sharing apps from one ROM to another), everyone goes to the conference room to look at the documents together (loading apps from a shared location). That's how app and data sharing is implemented.
To use app sharing, follow these steps in every ROM that you want to use app sharing:
Install the app you want to share
Open DualBootPatcher and go to "App Sharing" in the navigation drawer
Enable individual app sharing
Tap "Manage shared applications" and enable APK/data sharing for the app
Reboot
When you uninstall an app that's shared, it simply become unshared for the current ROM. That way, other ROMs are not affected. To continue the analogy above, if you quit your job, you won't shred the documents that everybody else was looking at.
If you unshare an app's data, it will go back to using the data it had before it was shared. In other words, you leave the conference room and go back to work on your own documents at your desk.
(Hope my analogy didn't suck too much )
How do I...?
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it
Downloads:
I recommend against using the stable version of the patcher right now. So many changes have been made in regards to device support, ROM support, and general bug fixes that it's better to use the unstable snapshot builds until the next stable release is made.

The feature actually makes Android load the shared apps and data from a centralized location, /data/multiboot/_appsharing. So you're not sharing apps from one ROM to another per se. The ROMs are just loading the apps from one shared location. Let me make this clearer with an analogy.
Think of the people in a company office as ROMs. You want to share with your coworkers some documents (apps). Instead of telling them to come over to your desk to see those documents (sharing apps from one ROM to another), everyone goes to the conference room to look at the documents together (loading apps from a shared location). That's how app and data sharing is implemented.
To use app sharing, follow these steps in every ROM that you want to use app sharing:
Install the app you want to share
Open DualBootPatcher and go to "App Sharing" in the navigation drawer
Enable individual app sharing
Tap "Manage shared applications" and enable APK/data sharing for the app
Reboot
When you uninstall an app that's shared, it simply become unshared for the current ROM. That way, other ROMs are not affected. To continue the analogy above, if you quit your job, you won't shred the documents that everybody else was looking at.
If you unshare an app's data, it will go back to using the data it had before it was shared. In other words, you leave the conference room and go back to work on your own documents at your desk.
(Hope my analogy didn't suck too much )
How do I...?
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it
Downloads:
I recommend against using the stable version of the patcher right now. So many changes have been made in regards to device support, ROM support, and general bug fixes that it's better to use the unstable snapshot builds until the next stable release is made.

Know Issues
- The ROMs section sometimes bug and get a infinite refresh, close the app and open app again.
- Simple Anouncement : Please refrain from using /system and /cache partitions for secondary rom install as not much space there. just install on /data partition.
Special Thanks

Followed the guide in my Lenovo Vibe p1a42 rooted running custom AOSP Extended 5.6 . I tried installing Custom Carbon 5.1 Rom. The installation/flashing process is completed successfully, But after choosing the second Rom and rebooting the device, the boot open TWRP Recovery. And further boots also open recovery. I had to reinstall the AOSP Extended Rom using TWRP to boot into Android. Can you please suggest what would have gone wrong on my end which resulted the reboot to boot into recovery rather then the second ROM.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Root is not included by default on LineageOS 14.1. You need to install an add-on via recovery. You only need to install this once. You can download the SU add-on here
After installation go to Settings>Developer Options>Root access and set to Apps only or Apps and ADB.
LineageOS comes with LineageOS Recovery by default, if you don't like it (like me ) you can flash alternative recoveries using IsoRec. You really need 1GB /system partition. The smallest build-configuration is larger than 512mb. You can use ODIN, but you can also use Lanchon's REPIT.
If you're interested in BLN, check this thread for a complete support of this feature.
If you're interested to go to emulated-storage, check this thread.

I think ist is just a mistake and should mean "open gapps"
http://opengapps.org/
Sent from my ME173X using XDA-Developers Legacy app
In General forum? Why not in Original Android Development?
Which GApps exactly?
Just to prevent from questions like "which GApps architecture and version do I need?"
This link will show you the minimal OpenGapps variant independently of your last visits (cookies never forget you)
http://opengapps.org/?download=false&arch=arm&api=7.1&variant=pico
(so only the variant needs to be changed if you prefer bigger packages)
Edit: Check this post to see how to create a customizable config that allows you to control the OpenGApps installer, e.g. to downsize bigger GApps packages for flashing Pixel Launcher while skipping other components you don't want. Included a sample config-file there as well.
I have questions:
FM Radio?
upgrade of CM 13?
TWRP emuled storage installation and new repit procedure?
from cm-13.0-20161218-nightly to lineageOS 14.1

Hi everyone, I am a low-average level user so I wonder if there is a step-by-step guide to upgrade my I9100-international from cm13 to lineageOS 14.1

Only if you're coming from cm13 without losing data (i.e. your apps installed). Otherwise - wipe clean and install the recent nightly only (and gapps if you wish).
-3. Get a good cup of coffee.
-2. You must have at least 1GB partition of /system. If not, first repartition your storage (see OP) and then come back to here to proceed.
-1. Proceed to oficial download site: "https://download.lineageos.org/i9100 for the current build, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=154035 for the experimental build, thanks to @ale5000 for uploading this for us.
0. Download the latest 2 following files: Nightly and Experimental (as for now lineage-14.1-20170208-experimental-i9100-signed.zip and lineage-14.1-20170208-nightly-i9100-signed.zip). Verify their md5 checksum to prevent errors, it is vital to do so.
Optional - download gapps from [url]http://opengapps.org/[/URL] for android 7.1, ARM (the nano is fine for me).
1. Boot into recovery. Install the "experimental" zip (Dirty flash! No wipes!).
1.5. You can reboot now into system, just to get a systemUI crash errors and a blank screen. Pretty useless. If you got to here then force reboot to recovery and proceed to step 2.
2. Reboot into recovery! Install the "Nightly" zip and gapps.
3. Wipe cache and boot to system.
There you go kiddo'.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

It is relatively very stable to me, most is working! Phone and RIL, audio, GPS, BT, and a lot more!
I believe battery has improved too. Performance is very well.
This is my only phone, I rely on this phone, and on my daily use no problems so far! And yeah this ROM rocks!:good:
Go for it dude!
I experience a problem with libUMP making my own build. Is this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69920779 still a working solution?

Do you don't include TWRP emu 3.03 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71009597&postcount=88 Interesting
Yes I would like to know upgrade path to official using twrp3.0.3 for emulated storage too please

People asked for a simple migrating guide from CM13 to LOS14.1, if someone isn't heading to switch to emulated I don't see a reason to send people to install an emu-recovery while they don't wish to.
It should be a decision for users.
Therefore I don't see a reason to include special addtional options besides the basics (exp+nightly+gapps). Whoever wants to expand more should simply read the OP and the links.
As for myself yes, I'm on emu now.

Hmm, because this phone is my main and only phone, I won't be able to test that soon (reverting recovery and ROM to cm13, reverting repartitioning too, then starting to trial and error).
But I believe that the safest way is to start from the moving to LOS14.1 - flashing the experimental and nightly first, as I guided. Then later flash emu-twrp recovery and proceed with rINanDO's instructions.
I'm afraid doing opposite (emu'ing first and then flash exp+nightly) might not work since Lanchon and the guys warned us that this emu-kernel might not work even with cm13 and maybe even affect it! Maybe repiting manually with Lanchon's magic REPIT would do, then migrate ROM, then change to new emu-recovery.
PLEASE:
- don't direct-link to recoveries that will brick your phone if installed too early.
- read the linked threads in the opening posts to understand the complexity of any of the changes
- if understood the consequences and you still want to do them all at once: know your limits
- if still feeling comfortable until here: go ahead *but do it in the correct order* or your phone will bootloop as all the newer test-recoveries were built with a Nougat ramdrive and thus will very very likely bootloop on your phone if installed on non-Nougat ROMs!
So my advice for your own safety: stay in your lane and read everything first.
EDIT: And by the way: please keep emulated storage discussions in the appropriate thread until it is officially tested and documented to be kind of noob-proof.
