How does multirom work exactly? I know there is 2 roms on the device obviously. But is data shared so for example when you switch from one rom to the other you can have the same text messages and app data or would I still need to use titanium backup to backup and restore my app data?

And after setting app mutlirom as it is shown in the first thread. can I install any rom as a primary and secondary rom?

Yes, you can set up as many roms as you like. But wait, LG Stock Kitkat is not supported yet. LG stock jb and aosp roms works. You can check in the thread about the specific supported roms for more info.

Data sharing for roms? Of course not! 'n' number of roms will have 'n' storage for their app data.

Can't install multirom on e970

I am getting the error "error installing zip file" when twrp flashing the multirom zip. Also, I am on e970 and I always get bootloops after installing carbon ROM. Is this the reason for not being able to install multirom? Any suggestions?

It's all sorted now. The zip file I was trying to flash was corrupt. A clean download did the trick. Thanks for this.

Is there any way to remove MultiROM? It stopped working for me months ago, but I can't figure out how to get it off my phone. I tried installing a new version of TWRP but that didn't make any difference.

So is there seriously no way to remove this once it is installed? I'd say that qualifies as something that should have been mentioned up front.

Really? You still have not managed to uninstall multirom from your phone? Actually I have not seen much into this as I was busy these days.

I will help you out. Could you please let me know the component you are unable to install? Is it the modified twrp reconery or the multirom part? If you have already mentioned in previous posts, I am sorry, but please mention here once more.

Sorry, been busy and have not checked XDA for awhile. It is the MultiROM part that I can't seem to remove. I have installed newer versions of TWRP as well as multiple new ROMs, but can't get rid of it.

Thanks. It may be a few days until I get a chance to try it out, as I want to make sure I have plenty of time in case I encounter a problem. I'll report back if I do.

    Link has been updated for the Modified TWRP. Now installing 2nd rom is breeze. External SD card is now supported..Works in E-973 Canadian Edition

    Yipee..;)

    How many of you like the Stock Rom from LG? I know..It is most of you. Me too. But the fact is I am also unable to live w/o the KITKAT! This has resulted numerous times of installing roms, losing important call logs/messages, and a lot of weird things that I dislike! These days are past, and I now use MultiROM to taste every new flavour I like!! I don't have to back up and restore the factory rom now!

    I am sharing it to you too. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs.

    Statutory Warning: It is your phone. Do not blame me for anything. I am not responsible for any harm you do to your device.

    Thanks to all who are linked with MultiROM!

    Now the detailed steps:

    1. Install TWRP-2.6.3.0_For_KitKat
    2. Backup your rom(in my case it is the stock one) with TWRP.
    3. Install Carbon Rom as the primary rom(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52327519&postcount=217) I have not tried with other roms. But this rom comes with a kernel with kexec hardboot patch.

    DU also works! Thanks to @Buscador

    4. Install TWRP_2.7.0_MR_geeb
    5. Now Install multirom_v22_UNOFFICIAL_geeb
    6. Now Install any rom you like as your secondary rom. Reboot in Recovery --> Advanced -> MultiROM to install your rom. You can also select the backup that you performed in step 2.

    The updated TWRP version supports ext SDCard. That means you can select the zip from SD card. Installing secondary rom in the extSD is not supported because of the slowness. In recovery go to Mount --> check external_sd to mount the externalSD card. Can any of you let me know if usb otg works in this recovery?

    Working perfectly for E-973 Canadian version. Thanks to @Aceangel21 for confirming.:good:

    Report if you face any difficulties.

    Hit thanks if this has helped you :good:

    Mahdi also works--still using Carbon as the internal ROM.
    Dirty Unicorns (the version built by mathsz) works as the internal ROM, and his XenonHD build works as a secondary ROM. Presumably, Dirty Unicorns also works as a secondary ROM.
