QUICK START GUIDE TO GET A 3RD ROM INSTALLED

#1. Tap "Swap 2nd/3rd ROM positions

#2. Tap boot to 2nd Utils

#3. Install a new 2ndROM

Done!!...


-----------------------------------------

Use the latest version 4.5.1 apk from the dropbox link above... the direct links below are ancient. Ignore. (Will get round to updating one day ;))

Basics:

What is SiyahMods?

>>>SiyahMods is an app which works with Siyah kernel and its Dual Boot functionality.

>>>It has a series of operations which manipulate your 2ndROM as well as allowing a 3rdROM as well. The exact same cool operations are mirrored work on the 3rdROM too.

What can it do?

>>>SiyahMods can boot directly into 2ndROM, 3rdROM or Siyah recovery (2ndROM utils from S-tweaks). It can also swap 2nd/3rdROM positions as many times as you like.

>>>There is also a ROM tools menu which allows for both 2nd & 3rd ROMs, the following functions:

1.> Shrink ROM image file size to save space

2.> Restore ROM size to default 1.5GB (1536MB).

IMPORTANT: The restore function is necessary for Siyah recovery dual boot functions to work properly.

To flash a CWM zip to 2ndROM it must be 1536MB. So before flashing a zip run this restore function. After you can shrink it again if you like.

Also to swap primary with 2ndROM you must restore to 1536MB.

Restoring a Nandroid backup you can just format 2ndROM system first.

You CAN make a nandroid back up from Siyah recovery WITHOUT restoring the system image size. (Backup 2ndROM from a shrunk size WILL work).

3.> Mount system image. To either /2 or /3 directory for 2nd and 3rd ROMs. So you can access the system to manually push apk's edit build.prop etc.

4.> Unmount

5.> Name ROMs

6.> Remove (delete) ROMs

>>> the "?" Button allows you to toggle popup information prompts ON or OFF which help guide beginners and allow last minute aborting of operations. Once you know what you're doing toggle off for faster access

PLEASE USE THE LATEST APK LINKS ABOVE THE LINKS BELOW ARE OUT OF DATE

I got omega as my second rom, how much space should I give it?

Check by downloading root explorer or any other root access file manager and viewing system folder while using 2nd rom. I use wanam which is under 1GB so Omega should be the same-ish. I will be adding a 1.15GB version soon. That will def be big enough.

New sizes added:

450MB perfect for Cm10 2nd ROM (with a bit of breathing room)

1.125GB safe size for nearly All deodexed stock and custom ROMs (Omega, Wanam...)

1.5GB restore to default. !!NOT tested for backup- restore to 2nd ROM/swap ROMs/clone tool in dual boot utility app yet

The zips will work as long as the size of the one you choose is bigger than the size of the 2nd rom /system partition... having said that there is 20-30mb needed for file system stuff so don't cut it too fine ;)

The smaller system.img file should stay how it is until you format 2nd rom partition or try some other operation which breaks so restoring default 1.5gb size.

Indeed!... but you can always make it bigger by flashing a different one later...

I want to use Aroma installer so the user can choose their own size but I'm waaaay to noob to pull that off without help

Been looking, actually I don't think edify script can allow one to input a direct value... only category/check box options...

Ah its good enough for now... lucky this only affects second rom... not phazed by whiners

... and if after shrink the sec rom will be cloned to primary , gues what ? the shrinked partition will be cloned as well so , more storage saved !:good:

No this certainly won't work as the primary ROM actually lives in the proper system partition which is formatted to 1.5GB

    Re: [KERNEL APP]][SIYAH][4.3][19.1.13]=SiyahMODs=-Boot 2 all-Shrink-TripleBoot.UPDATE

    New version 4.3.1

    >>>A few fixes like remove rom features were broken and i fixed some tangled task priority clashing.... its a little slower but checks for so many things so help the less techie.

    >>>Better information popups so the app really does have a built in mini tutorial which can be toggled off.

    But the big surprise...

    Two NEW features... well one revived from the Early script days.

    >>> Clone 2nd to 3rdROM.

    And my greatest achievement of all!

    >>> Clone Primary to 2ndROM!!! Yep That's right I'm not even kidding!

    It took me hours of trying but it makes a PERFECT clone with all permissions intact!. Useful? Well sort of I guess! But I don't care cos it freaking WORKS!!

    Enjoy ;)
