Today i booted Stock JB , CM-11 and CWM touch recovery

All went well except wifi not working in STOCK JB and SD card was not accessible.

Will try to fix it and release the bootmenu folder with details of HOW TO soon .

Thanks

Don't worry, here is an example of how bootmenu folder should look like to boot latest weekly CM11:

Have a look at differences in RAM disk and settings.ini, I hope this will help you more.

@percy_g2 can you share your Stock JB zImage and CM-11 zImage? initrd.gz and cmdline i can have by extracting boot.img but not sure it work.
It's awesome if you share your bootmenu folder include zImage, initrd.gz and cmdline for Stock JB and CM11 :highfive:

You have to edit initrd.gz too to boot your secondary ROM, not only KEXEC patched zImage. You can take that edited initrd.gz to boot CM 11 as secondary ROM from my previous post here.

As that instruction: We will be using ramdisk(initrd.gz) only from the dumped folder since the kernel(zImage) inside it is not kexec patched!!! and zImage file i must download from download section.

My kernel is not kexec patched, how can i edit it? Can i use your bootmenu (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2582378&d=1392547908) for any CM11 base?
