New magisk module to use on any stock rom : ScaleR
For those who run on stock (or custom) which do not have the option to go lower then 0.5...
Made a Magisk module called ScaleR to scale up your device (even when running any rom) on window, transition and duration up to 0.25 or when that's not fast enough a 0.15 one or a 0.10
scaling up to 0.25 : 0.25ScaleR_module
scaling up to 0.15 : 0.15ScaleR_module
scaling up to 0.10 : 0.10ScaleR_module
Should work on any device.
Tested on magisk 16.4
Just flash within Magisk or twrp and Done ! Reboot.
PREVIOUS VERSION : SnappyR
*ONLY TO USE ON A2017G N-B08 ,B09 or B10 stock AND ON A CLEAN SYSTEM FLASH+SnappyR zip
So in TWRP : wipe system + (flash bootstack) + flash (stock)system + SnappyR zip + (SuperSU 2.79 or Magisk if you're on stocksystem) + reboot
(After reboot : do not change windows animation scaling under development options because it will probably reset things )
For those on A2017G N-B08 stock, N-B08-slim³, N-B09 or B10 and want their phone to be faster (scaled 0.25) in general , just do a clean SYSTEM flash and flash your appropriate SnappyR zip. After that just reboot.
I compiled services.jar to the 0.25 scaling and you'll see the result immediately after reboot.
Scaling is max on 0.25 ( although in settings it's set on 0.5 but actualy its running on 0.25 )
A2017G-N-B08 stock : SnappyR-N-B08
A2017G-N-B08 Slim³ : SnappyR-N-B08-slim³https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329070166
A2017G-N-B09 stock : SnappyR-N-B09https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329070530
A2017G-N-B10 stock : SnappyR-N-B10https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657589434
Just try it out and you'll see your phone is much snappier !
ALSO for ppl that want to change the animation speed to a custom value afterwards. thnx @GodOfPsychos
Type this in adb:
adb shell
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.25
Or if you have a terminal app (material terminal for example):
su
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.25
HOPE YOU'll ENJOY !!!
Btw, if interested i can make this for other roms too, as long as they are stock and basicly unmodified
Thanks! Could you add it to your next rom Update?

It isn't. Just some values that are changed but nothing to do with screen brightness.
As a matter of fact, i'm always running on 0.25 and i can almost put my screen brightness so that i hardly can see text anymore.
Okay thanks. Then i have to remember what i also changed in the last days.
I don't really feel any difference in responsiveness after putting animation speed to 1x. Does it really do anything different besides accelerating animations a bunch?

Sure it does affect animation, transition and duration to 4x faster.
F.e when i open my browser, youtube or gmail f.e. , all is loaded much faster then before. Really. Thats why we compile it that way
Maybe it didn't flash correct.
Also do not alter the numbers in developer options after you flashed it or you'll have to reflash it again to have 0.25.
What rom are you on ?

Checked it and you're totaly right mate. I overlooked the fact that services.jar cant have effect when flashed afterwards.
I always did flash the mod on a clean flash, that's why it worked for me. Didn't thought about that and just made some flashable zips of those mods
I'll update the OP till i have found a possible fix for install afterwards.
So, when u want to use it, do a clean system flash (wipe system and flash stock system again) + my SnappyR zip in the same flash. Then reboot (replacing the services.jar within your running rom wont have any effect )
That should do the trick.
Perhaps you can try this out and give some feedback.

So, when u want to use it, drag the services.jar (out of my zip) into your rom zip and replace system/framework/services.jar with it.
And do a clean flash.
That should do the trick.

But when you're on b09 you'll have to extract the b09 stock system to get into the framework . Perhaps you've superrkitchen too to do the necessary work.
I've not yet uploaded my B09-slim4 but it will have this baked into it.
But you can try the B08-slim3 and replace the services.jar on that rom.

Oh ok. I just formatted system, clean flashed the ROM, zips and your mod. Don't really see a difference besides the huge responsiveness boost while reopening an app that's already on RAM (because of .25)
I guess I'll modify the zip and do it again. It's pretty bad 'cause I have to flash around 6 or 7 zips that are all over my phone's storage (I have to get an USB OTG, not risking an SD card here; I can't get one in Argentina)
Formatted system only and flashed all my stuff with SnappyR and it worked for me (now). If i replaced the files and just restarted -> no effect.

Thnx Spillunke for testing.
I wasn't already awake when i wrote this topic :cyclops: but it is as you have tested out :
Just do a clean flash so wipe system + (flash bootstack) + flash system + my SnappyR zip and reboot
* do mind not to alter animation speed/duration/windows in developer options after you flashed it because i'm pretty sure it will go back to 0.5

How to falsh PACman ROM: Post #2 Thank Langes
0. Do I need unlocked bootloader? YES
1. I'm going to post my question without doing a search.
Fine, but you'll just get made fun of, or infracted by one of the mods who use this mod. Searching is the first rule of XDA.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

2. People have sometimes a bad attitude in this thread, or they ignored my question.
You broke rule #1, didn't you?
3. Why Youtube FC all the time?
Mabye it’s the latest youtube app problem. Try [APP] Youtube Apk For Ics/Jelly Bean [Version 3.5.5].
4. I didn’t hear music, ringtone, notification, etc. Why?
The steps for custom tones are:
create
sdcard\alarms
sdcard\notifications
sdcard\ringtones
At first time after the rom install if you choose rintone the ringtone is mute. Select one of the ringtones and press vol+ or vol-. The notification ringtone is mute too. Select one of the notification tone then press vol+ or vol-. The same relates to the alarm. I have only one alarm time, and my phone wakes me up every time.
In apollo if you play music at the first time, the sound is mute too. press vol+ or vol-..
5. I lost my custom ringtone/alarm/notification sound, why?
Are your custom sound int he right folder? See 4.
6. I don’t want a tablet look.
If you use pac 4.1.2 it doesnt have paranoidpreferences.apk (Search for any 4.1.2 PA rom, and extract paranoidpreferences.apk from it.)
The new 4.2.2 PAC has it, so you don't need to search for it.
Just go in setting/paranoid setting/apps select
Settings (com.android.settings) and change size to 240, layout 360px save, and hit ok.
select System UI (com.android.systemiu) and change to 240/360 px.
(setting and system ui take effect after you restart the phone)
If gmail/calendar and other apps are in hybrid mod, then change it to 240/360px too.
Or try this flashable zip: see original thread post 1519 don't forget to thank pluGinSz
7. Which gapps do i need? Can i use inverted gapps too?.
Yes.
Be sure you use the proper gapps.
for 4.1.2 roms you need "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip"
for 4.2.2 roms you need "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip"
Search xda for inverted gapps.
you can save about 30mb in the system partition by flashing the "Bexton" script (download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=1831004) or you can modify justunbean's zip to remove the offending files...Bexton was good enough to list the files in his OP.

9. I'm on wrong baseband where can i find bb77, and how to upgare it?
I would like to update baseband from .70/.72. to .77,is necessary after update do something? Or is recommend to do full wipe (or maybe reflash ROM)?
The basebands are in sirkay's kernel thread. Thans to him!
Download from dropbox link the "ST18i_8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77_baseband.ftf" Copy it to [C:/]Flashtool/firmwares folder. In flashtool select Flashmode, select de baseban ftf file. (Turn off the phone, press volume down when plug in the usb) Flash it without fota, unchecked all wipe and checked no final verification. It's only the baseband, so it affect only for network signal. After baseband flashing just start your phone.
you can also use BB85, download link Thanks Langes
I tried the bb85 and found bb77 is the best, but you can give a try too
10. Where is the kernel?
The kernel (boot.img) is inside the zip. Don't unzip it, just copy the "boot.img" to the folder, where you can find it.
If you use another kernel, be sure you downloaded kernel for right jb version.
11. Can i use the rom with other kernel?
Yes you can. Some devs made a kernel for JB. But remember, that if you use other kernel, you must probably falsh his own wifi modules. Read and search in kernel thread for possible bugs.
sirkay's xKernel: xKernel JB v1.0.2 If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
Lupus kernel by wedgess: LuPuS-_-JB.img If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
FlyKernel by thomas1991_12: Flykernel JellyBean. Working from P.A.C. v16 and up, older (e.g. v15) not supported If you use it, don't forget to thanks him.
12. I've flashed [MOD][ICS]Camera Mod v.4.4 Cybershot Experience /
[Driver GPU Libs] New JB Adreno Driver For ICS Increase Performance
As in the thread name is, both is for IceCreamSandwich. Please read the threads! If you found it's for ICS, so it's "maybe?" not compatible with JB rom. If you found for ICS/JB roms, then you can test it for your own risk.
13 . Play store fc?

14. Can I use the PACman kernel in another JB ROM (FXP CM10 for example)?
Yes you can. The PACman kernel has a good selection of governors and schedulers, as well as OC/UV capability. The Wi-fi is also quite stable when compared with similar JB kernels. For any marriage to work, the wi-fi modules found within the PACman ROM zip archive (in folder: /system/lib/modules) MUST replace those within the ROM you want to pair the kernel with. If you haven’t installed the ROM the you want to use you can drag (not copy and paste) the files from the PACman ROM folder to the new ROM folder before you flash it. If you have already installed the ROM you want to use you can drag the files from the PACman ROM folder to the root of your SD card, then copy and paste them to the system/lib/modules folder on your phone using a root explorer (like ES), making sure that the system is mounted and the permissions of the files once on the phone are set correctly (i.e. check they are the same as the files you replace)… Remember to unmount system when you’ve finished and reboot.

15. my sim card is not allowed to its own provider! does anyone know what to do?
You can manually restore the APN.
or you can try and restore the apns-conf.xml by flashing the attached zip.....
if it doesn't restore automatically after rebooting, go into system settings->Wireless&Networks->More->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names
hit the menu key and then select restore default (this is also where you would find go to manually restore the APN, except you would select add new APN) attachment: see post: 1287

- thanks justmpm
I applied zip, but when I try to set up the apn's and go to settings --> wireless & networks --> more... --> mobile networks --> access point names it goes back to the main settings screen and so I can't set the apn's.
Make sure you turn off any sim card lock and then turn the phone off and on to make sure it is gone. Check to see if your apn sets up automatically. If that doesn't work make sure that your provider (including country) is listed in the apns-conf.xml (it is pretty legible if you open it with notebook+).

HOW TO USE FLASHTOOL?
Flashtool & Fastboot (XPERIADEV) or Ray Flashtool thread
HOW TO FALSH PAC ROM, IF YOU ARE A NEW ANDROID USER OR YOU UNLOCKED A BOOTLOADER FEW WEAKS AGO
Try this, slowly, carefully, exactly and in order.
1) Make sure you have a copy of the PAC ROM zip on your SD card.
2) Using Flashtool, install 4.0.4 in full, Do not exclude anything, all the wipe tick boxes checked.
3) Unplug your phone, do not turn it on.
4) On your computer, open the PAC ROM zip with WinRAR and DRAG boot.img to your desktop with your mouse. Close the ROM zip.
5) Holding volume +, plug your phone back in. The light will go blue. The Flashtool window will show connected in fastboot mode.
6) Open the Fastboot window in Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Pick the one on your desktop. Wait for it to finish (not long)
7) In the fastboot window, reboot phone into system.
8) Unplug the phone
9) The phone should start, if it doesn't then turn it on.
10) The PAC logo will appear. When the lights flash press Vol + and Vol - until the wobbly CWM recovery screen comes on.
11) do this from the menus:
Wipe data/ factory reset, then Wipe cache.
Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
Hit back, go to mounts and storage, format system.
Hit back, choose zip to install, pick the PAC ROM from your SD card.
Leave the phone for about an hour alone.
Then install gapps from SD card using recovery. Pick reboot to recovery from power off menu.
You do not need xparts. The phone will go back into wobbly CWM screen. Choose zip from SD card. Choose gapps. When installed wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache again. DON'T FORMAT SYSTEM. Reboot.

Power saving
I added some lines to pac v16.1 build.prop to save more battery.
I maked it as flashable zip, so you don't need add lines manually to build.prop.
Download zip. Put it in sdcard root (or where you can find it on sdcard) Go in cwm, select "install zip from sdcard" select zip, reboot and enjoy.
This are the lines what i added:
Code:
# power saving
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
# Saves some battery without reducing performances
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
If you want to edit/delete some lines, or add your own lines just copy wechy.sh from zip, edit it with notepad++ (add your tweak line) copy back edited one into zip, and falsh it as i wrote above. Be carefull what you add to build.prop!
And of course: flash it at your own risk, i'm not responsible if you brick your phone... etc.

Detailed step-by-step guide
Be sure your bootloader is unlocked
1. Download flashtool from this thread: Flashtool thread
If you don't fion the download link: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1353608331000 Go to "installation" and download Flashtool
2. Install flashtool.
3. Install drivers inside [C:/]flashtool/drivers restart your pc
4. Download boot.img from post #2
5. Download rom from original thread and download gapps from original thread too.
6. Copy untouched zips to sd card root.
7. Turn off your phone
8. Plug usb into Pc
9. Hold volume up when plug the other end of usb cable into phone (led lights blue)
10. Run flashtool, hit the lightning icon and select fastboot mode
11. Flash kernel YOU MUST SEE: "OKEY"
12. Disconnect usb cable
13. Turn on phone, go into recovery
And follow post #2 How to Flash PACman ROM (first time)
Battery saving tips:
1. See what's sucking the most juice. Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Battery Use to see an organized breakdown of what's consuming your phone's battery. Applications and features will display in a descending list of battery hogs. If you see an application you barely use or a feature you never use, uninstall the app or turn off the feature.
You can download BetterBatteryStats from xda
2. Turn unnecessary hardware features off It's great that today's phones have 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, but do you really need all four activated 24 hours per day? (Use toggles and enable/disable it)
3. Dump unnecessary home screen widgets and live wallpaper. Just because they're sitting on the home screen, seemingly inactive, doesn't mean they're not consuming power. That goes for widgets that poll status updates in the background, as well as ones that just sit there but look pretty and animated—not to mention animated live wallpaper.
4. Screen rotation - use with toggle. enable it, if you really want to with toggle
5. Google play store - Do you need realy that google play looks for updates in 24 h a day? Or you can check it manually when you are at home with wifi?
In playstore settings disable Notification, Auto-update apps, Auto-add widgets and Google AdMobs Ads.
6. Are you 0/24 on net? Enable with toggle only 2g, and disable it, when you use internet browsing mail download etc.
7. Keep an eye on signal strength. If you're in an area with low signal strength, the phone will work harder to latch onto a strong-enough cellular signal. This has an adverse effect on battery life. If your phone switching all the time from 3g to 2g, then you shoul enable only 2g, then the phone doesn't look for 3g network.
8. Most of widget/apps has a update time chooser. Set weather widgets/apps update time to 1 hour.
9. Sometimes i use Google maps, but location is off by me. If you dont want share you location with others then disable it in setting (so the phone does not attempt to determine your place on the basis of transmission towers)
10. I'm almost certain, that after turning wifi off the battery drain is much higher than normally...
justmpm I think this is pretty normal...it will depend a lot on how you set up you 3g/2g settings. Syncing, location tracking, and google maps can all really burn up the battery. If you don't want to fiddle around optimizing every little network app....you can use something like Green Power from the play store. You can set this up to turn off the wifi and data network when the screen goes off....the good thing about Green Power is that you can set it up to wake up every so often to sync your emails, facebook, and whatever else you want. When I have it installed, I usually have it off for 15 minutes and then turn on to sync for 1 minute (it will keep the network open until all the traffic is done, so it won't cut things off if they take > 1 minute to download). I think the default setting for this is off for 5 minutes, on for 1. Even these settings can really extend your battery if your wifi or 3g/2g networks are causing a lot of battery drain.

Go to root explorer, navigate to /system/app or /system/framework and delete any .odex files you can find in there, but first give me the names of all .odex files in there.

try follow this sequence :
1-install the rom from cwm
2-install the odex zip file
3-reboot and set up phone
4-reboot recovery flash the cwm setting....
mine got stuck several time in the samsung initial setting.....the select language to be exact....
You don't have to flash Odex-remove anymore because the script now deletes /system/app and /system/framework directories.
Wait I'll update the ROM again

Hey benz My S3 mini turned out to be the N version so I'm going to flash this right now
PLEASE READ NEW FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any bricks. By flashing this you understand that no one involved with the making of this Rom is responsible for a brick. However, if two nations go to war, that's okay, because they will destroy themselves and their people will worship me, THE BUTTAHLORD OF BUTTERNOOBIA!!!
I mean uhh... No, very bad thing, no countries should not go to war *cough* destroy yourselves *cough*
PLEASE READ ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE FLASHING, D/Ls and Changelog in 2nd Post
Okay past the joking, this is a stock, rooted KitKat ROM for the ZTE ZMAX. The deodexed version would not boot, so this is odexed. However, this version is free of any King Related apps and I've also removed the little bit of crapware in the device.
FEATURES:
Removal of All King Related Apps
Pre-Rooted
Clear of Bloatware
Added Xposed
Added SuperSU
Removed crappy ZTE/Metro/TMO apps
Overall Clean experience
HOW TO FLASH (NEW INSTRUCTIONS):
1. Place ZIP on SD Card
2. Reboot Into TWRP
3. NANDROID (DO NOT SKIP THIS FOR YOUR SAKE)
4. Don't factory reset the normal way, go to wipe > advanced wipe and click "dalvik cache", "data", "cache" and "system". If you don't, you run the risk of getting an updater-script error (not from the zip, it's a bug in some TWRP builds).
5. New Step: Reboot recovery (in the recovery menu). It will ask if you want to install su, press do not install.
5. Flash the ROM
6. Reboot and rep Butternoob!
BUGS:
Free and clear, you tell me!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Butternoob has been confirmed to work on all variants of the ZTE ZMAX by at least two people on each variant. THIS IS NOT SUPERBUTTER! For those that don't know, Superbutter will be a heavily modified custom rom. Butternoob was designed to be a stock, clean experience with solid performance. I may add tweaks, but you won't find a lot beyond the stock experience.

no. Don't try it. Unless you want to buy another phone.
Having an odd issue with LTE. When I call with LTE enabled, it tries to force the call through VOLTE, rather than handing off to a 4g (or whatever) local band. The call, of course, fails with no audio in or out; is this a known issue, is there a workaround, do I need to re-flash, or is this something weird that nobody's heard about before?
Does this work on Grand X Max + Z987?

Zmax Z970 RamDisk Boot.img packing problem
Hi,
Im attempting to repack the ram-disk image for my boot img on my ZTE Zmax z970 running the BN 2.0-oxed ROM. I was trying to use gzip with mkbootimg and it is not working, im assuming due to the fact that my newly repacked ram-disk cpio compressed file was not the same size as the original making the phone fail to boot when the boot.img was sent back to the boot block. My pc is running Ubuntu 14.04-32 bit. I know that the unpack-bootimg and mkbootimg scripts are working correctly because when i repack an unchanged boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz file (unpack the img and recreate the boot.img file) and re-upload it to the boot block, the phone boots correctly so I know that my procedures outside of the ram-disk cpio file are correct. My question is, How can I find out how much padding i need on the ram-disk file, where the padding should go, and how to apply the padding to get the file the correct size so that it will work as intended? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I only unpackaged the boot image to change one entry in the ramdisk to the default.prop file. If there is a way to open the compressed cpio file with an archive manager and could update the file once i make my change. that would work as well. I can open the gz file with the archive manager but can not open the cpio folder contained inside.
Thanks,
Much appreciation.....f20062e
I followed your directions. Surprisingly it was super easy! Thanks!!!!!

ZTE 982
Hi there good morning I have a big question, I have the ZTE z982 from MetroPCS I went ahead and rooted and installed TWRP on it. Now I was having some issues trying to flash a custom rom Slimrom to be exact (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-zmax/development/slimrom-5-0-2-t3161888) but I kept getting errors about legacy property? So something along those lines. Well I then read somewhere that it could be because of TWRP being outdated. I took it upon myself to look and find an .IMG witch I then flashed and now am stuck with a sorta bootloop flashes on but the screen goes black. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
how did you get past fastboot. my z982 cant find device there?

No matter what I do I cannot get this vile little phone to root. It is located in adb but fastboot just isnt there or doesnt' want to find it. I have tried every dang driver you can think of and still nothing in fastboot. I must know its driving me crazy. I have got to where i absolutely hate this phone!
works on z981 ??
Haven't seen anyone else discussing this particular solution yet so figured I'd share that we can boot multiple roms using dual boot patcher by @chenxiaolong.
*The only things I'd recommend are the following:
*MAKING A BACKUP FIRST IN RECOVERY. Especially if you've never used the app, this helps in case you misunderstood something or didn't read enough or didn't think enough or the dog ate your homework.
*I recommend using TWRP version 3.0.3-0 which can be found here - https://dl.twrp.me/angler/
* I have not tried this with f2fs only ext4 so naturally I'd only recommend using ext4 partitioning on your device.
* If your device is encrypted in any way booting multiple roms will not work, which should be obvious but I'll state that anyways. Thanks @JKforUA for helping us figure this out.
*If you want to boot more than just two roms, that you use the data slot options for your roms which can be named anything you'd like and they will be stored on the phones internal storage.
* Make sure you're on the latest Radio and Bootloader for the nexus 6p, I flashed this and it works fine and is backwards compatible with Marshmallow roms.
Radio & Bootloader link -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/nexus-6p-radio-bootloader-recovery-t3433637
* Use the patcher app to update the ramdisk and set your primary rom's kernel as Primary before patching or flashing anything.
*If you use the fingerprint scanner you'll have to delete the file /data/system/locksettings.db in each multi boot directory, this disables getting an incorrect pin error when switching roms.
*If using a marshmallow and nougat rom you'll need to flash the appropriate vendor image in recovery before boot.
*Vendor images should not be patched.
This process is fairly simple to me because I've been using it for years but if you have any questions feel free to ask in this thread and hit thanks if I helped ya.
* Before reporting errors I would suggest you try the following steps-
1. Make sure you're using this version of the patcher app because it is the one I have been using without issue -
Version 9.1.0r80-
https://dbp.noobdev.io/files/9.1.0....atcherAndroid-9.1.0.r80.gd5920b2-snapshot.apk
2. Make sure you have enough free space to have two of the zips you want to use because that is what you will have after you patch.
3. Make sure your path to the zip is correct when browsing for the zip, go through internal storage to the directory where the zip is.
4. If you get any error patching, uninstall the patcher app, re-download it, and reinstall it.
5. There is also a Windows version you can try if you prefer.
*If you are still having issues we can discuss it here, and if nobody can seem to come up with a fix in this thread then errors can further be reported by following instructions here - https://dbp.noobdev.io/downloads/

Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of this before. A few questions;
How similar/dissimilar to multirom is this?
Do I need a specific kernel, or will it with with any kernel?
I briefly read through the original thread, am I creating a zip that flashes two Roms, or is the zip something that flashes alongside the ROM I currently have?
Thanks for sharing. Used this on my further G4. Didn't know that our device is supported. So no need to wait until multirom is working on 7.1.1. Gonna play around now.
Where do we report errors? I was about to patch several files and the app crashed. I have a couple log files.

I actually prefer it because it's what I'm used to, you can patch whatever kernel you choose and flash it in recovery, reboot into that rom, open the patcher app, set kernel, profit.
Basically you patch the rom zip you want to flash as secondary, or in my case data slot, naming them 2 and 3 because the Multislot options won't flash anything for me but using data slots works fine. Patch rom, patch gapps, patch whatever kernel, flash all in the whatever succession recommended by the rom op, and you'll automatically boot into the newly flashed rom when you reboot.

Hmmm I found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64727670&postcount=8259
I would try re-downloading the app because I haven't had it crash in any roms I've used yet, I just grabbed the latest build, installed, opened, granted root when prompted, updated the ramdisk if needed which is indicated the app, rebooted when prompted, set kernel, and done.
If it's still crashing for you there's the usual force closing the app from your roms settings and clearing the apps cache and data but you probably already tried that?

I'm gonna play with this over the weekend, I like new stuff!
So whatever fkashable zip I patch will be designated during the flash as secondary (or whatever) and won't overwrite my current ROM allowing it to exist along side it?

Correct, so long as you don't patch it as Primary. It will tell you where it's flashing to in recovery. You can also use the dual boot patcher recovery zip for things like switching roms from recovery and wiping roms, wiping multiboot files will get rid of a rom in its entirety if you wanted to replace it with something else. I've always installed the patcher app in my other roms after first boot and used it to set the kernel for that rom too.

If I'm patching for the data partition, am I correct in making all zips (ROM, Gapps, and su) to the same name? (Ex. I named the ROM zip slot "rom2", and then used the same name for the other zips)

Awesome, thanks, I'll see what happens :good:
Edit: it worked! It's a little more involved than multirom, but it seems to be fine! Easier than I thought.
I've not yet switched between the two, but the app on the secondary (data slot) recognizes the primary
Wow great. Running great on data-slot. Even magisk is supported. Good to have a new playground. Happy to have the 128 GB variant. Gonna do some test with Viper.
How do I switch roms
All perfect. Viper running with magisk. Every rom i tried booting without any problem. So atm the perfect tool to test other rom!

Cortex also flashes the vendor. Maybe this gives the error because in dualboot all roms use the same vendor partition (could be a problem to flash vendor through dualpatcher...). All other roms i tried vendor was not included to flash (only rom und gapps separately). I am just trying cortex too (just ready to flash). Gonna report, if i succeed.

Cortex rom running fine on multiboot on my device. So no problem with vendor in multiboot. I can also switch back to another rom. As gapps i suggest you to use only dynamic gapps (banks gapps). I always use mini dynamic gapps. Opengapps give many problems.... On primary i got rr oms-release from 12.01. ATM running with 3 different rom all on internal sd card. Just pay attention to give always the same name when patching a zip file in dualpatcher.

Did you flash in twrp (3.0.3.0)? I only use twrp to flash a new multiboot rom. Before flashing a new rom just make sure, you patch all necessary zip files (rom, gapps, etc.). Same name means u choose where (on angler i always choose Data slot - this is internal sd card). Then you give the name (no capital letters) and choose the directory to save the patched file. This you do with every zip file for the rom u gonna flash. The new zip file have the original name and the text "....._data-slot-namegiven.zip" (example for data-slot). The part "data-slot-namegiven" should appeir in every name of the patched zip file. I think with our device it's goot to use the data-slot if you have enough space on your internal sd-card. Using Multi Slot could lead to space problems on system partition of the device. Then just flash the patched files one after another in twrp. Don't forget to flash also patched supersu.zip oder magisk.zip to get root (if it's not in the rom included). You need to patch gapps and supersu or magisk for each slot separately. The name of the patched file just says the path for the multiboot rom. So twrp flashes the patched zip to the right place. Sorry if i wrote to much. Hope it's gonna give you some help. More information you find in the original thread of multiboot.
WELCOME
Dual Boot Patcher
I am proud to present to you, Dual Boot Patcher for j510!
Code:
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any bricked devices lost data or national disasters. Use at your own risk
Features:
Run two or more roms on your device at the same time!
Able to patch rom zips, custom kernels, gapps, supersu zips etc
Clean Material UI
Boot UI which allows you to select ROM at boot
App Sharing between Roms
Backup and Restore roms
Note: If the app is saying that this device is not supported and you have j510, edit your build.prop to set ro.build.product and ro.product.device to "j5xnlte". Then reboot. The app should be working. Do this only if you have j510. If you set the values improperly, installing a dual boot zip will hard brick your device.
TUTORIAL:
NOTE:Make a full nandroid backup before proceeding!!
Install your first ROM normally(from TWRP). It is recommended that if you want to multiboot an AROMA ROM, you should install it first(as primary). If you want to make your current rom as primary, skip this step.
Download and install the apk provided in the attachments.
Download the second rom.
Open the Dual Boot Patcher app, in the left swipe-in menu, select ROM section
It will ask you to set the kernel for Primary Rom. press Ok
Then go to "Patch zip file" menu, and click on the red "add" button
Then select "Add flashable zip". It will ask you to select a rom zip. Browse to your downloaded ROM and long-press to select it.
It will then ask you where to install it. You can Either Install it in "Secondary" which will install the Rom in system partition(use this if you have enough space on your system partition( at least 1.1 GB for AOSP roms and 1.8 GB for Touchwiz Roms). If you dont have enough space on your system partition, install it in Data or ext sd slot.(Note that installing in Data will take up space from your internal memory. DO not select the "multi slots"! they are for other devices
Click on OK. it will ask you the location of target file, just click on select to use defaults.
if you have any additional zips(such as gapps or supersu) patch them all using the above method. Select the same setting you used for the ROM!
After you have added all your zips, Click on the tick in the upper right corner and the patching will begin!
After Patching is done, reboot to recovery. DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING. Just install the zips you just patched(they will have "Dual" or "Data slot" written in front of their names.
After installation is complete, click reboot, and it will reboot to your newly installed ROM. Set up the rom normally. After setup is complete, install the DualBootPatcher apk.
Now you can select whichever ROM you want in the app. Just select it and restart!
From now onwards patch every zip with dual boot patcher before installing!
Boot UI
If you want Boot ui, follow these steps:
Go to roms section of the app. Press the 3 dots next to your first rom then scroll down and select update ramdisk. then press ok. It will ask you to reboot. just press reboot later
Repeat the same with other roms
Then go to settings and select install Boot ui.
Download Apk
DualBootUtilities
If anything goes wrong with the DualBoot keep the utilities zip in your sdcard. You can flash it in recovery(AROMA only). It allows you to wipe any rom installed on your device or switch to any rom.

The boot ui has a countdown timer. There are two buttons on the boot ui. Clock the left one which is "cancel". It will then give you the option to switch rom
