Works beautifully

Works perfectly on my MF3-locked bootloader GS4 with the stock google play rom linked below. Thanks for your time & effort! :good:

Mine was too until I lost sound.

What do I do once I have downloaded the GPE rom and the MF3 module to flash the rom?

 

[bigblue95z]

I saw this question before but didn't seem to be answered.
I never took the official MF3 update, still have the old mdl bootloader and I have Cleanrom 1.5 currently installed. Just debloated TW, nothing strange.

Can I use this to multiboot between cleanrom and a GPE or Cyanogenmod based roms in additional rom slots?
or does this depend on the MF3 bootloader and only works for those who accepted MF3 and are locked out of traditional custom roms?

Thank you very much in advance.

I'm not sure that I understand why you would want to do this. We have a real, full fledge recovery that you can use to backup an almost limitless amount of times. Why not install a ROM to your liking, back it up, then flash whatever you want next. I suppose I see the lure of 'multiple ROM slots', but you'll always have that backup and it doen't take more than about 5-10 min to get a backup up and running. I flash a different ROM at least a couple times a week. The ones I like best stay on my extSD for a bit, ready at a moment's notice to be restored while I wait for my lunch, drive to work(start restore, then drive ), or sitting at my desk. Seems what you want to do would be like using the workaround instead of the fix.

I'm well past my flash addict days, which you are obviously still in, nandroid backups, titaniums and restores get old quick, their was an app specifically for my old thunderbolt that did exactly what I'm asking and people loved it.

I'm with you here. Personally, I'd rather run AOSP-based ROMs as my dailies....but I would love to have a TW ROM just a reboot away for those times when someone with an iphone is like "oh, is that the S4? Show me that one thing where you wave your hands." And it's always too much work to explain to them the concept of having an alternative ROM on my phone....much less the concept of being rooted in the first place.

Edit: Ok so I finally got the guts to try installing SS with PA as my "stock ROM" (ie PA was the ROM I was running already when I installed SS). I was able to get to the splash screen, but when I tried to boot into the customized recovery my screen just went black indefinitely. Fortunately I just did a hard power-button reboot and then let it boot up as normal...so at least it didn't break anything. Was able to boot into my regular TWRP just fine too.

Only thing Titanium backup is used for is Call Logs and SMS. I don't restore apps with it.

I'm not sure how this would be much different though. You don't carry over user data, so you'd have to install all the apps for each ROM when you fill a new slot, it's not shared between the ROM slots. A restore doen't take long, and is so super easy, I don't know how it could get 'old'. Pretty much the same deal.

*real recovery:
1) Flash ROM
2) Setup user data
3) Backup
4) Flash another ROM
5) Setup user data

This:
1) Get functional
2) Flash a ROM
3) Setup user data
4) Flash another ROM
5) Setup user data.

The steps hardly are different. Different way to skin the cat, maybe. But hardly reinventing the wheel here. Maybe what you're looking for is more the MoDaCo swtich approach. I can't comment on its compatability with i337, but promising nonetheless.

Side Note: I wouldn't say I'm a flash 'addict'. I try out new things. If I like it, I run with it. Usually the first sign of instability, I'm back to the rock-solid stable build I started with.
Side Note2: I'm in NO WAY trying to discredit this project, or convey any type of negative vibe. I think this is absolutely fantastic that Hashcode has spent his time getting this going. I'm lucky I got an MDL build, but not everyone was so lucky. If I have to warranty, you can bet that I'd be on this like white on rice.

 

[IgnitedBeast]

Hey guys I can also confirm that the GPE rom is working without any problems.Thanks Hashcode!

If your flashing a couple times a week then yed you are a flash addict, not saying thats it bad I used to enjoy it. The point is I've flashed maybe 4 or 5 times on my s4 since getting it and i'd love two rom slots one tw and one GPe being able to access each one with a quick reboot, I had it on my thunderbolt, trust me its different than nandroid. And no constantly setting up user data which is a pita

Confirming That Sho-Stock 2.2 is installed and booted up after flashing the MF3 KERNEL MODULE .ZIP
EDIT: Everything is running really smooth and after downloading cpu spy I also noticed that I'm still oc'd at 1.8 from the sho kernel and I'm going into deep sleep so with hope no rr or sod

 

[sykoj82]

People have posted that they are dual booting cyanmod and goldeneye. I'm not sure if to this is helpful or still relevant. Just saw it and thought it might help.

Did you have to flash the loki patch (in the instructions) ? And did you choose odex or deodex ? Thanks

 

[sykoj82]

Xtremeperia rom works great too... make sure you pick att s4 usa and flash the kernel mod in the end.

Yeah, but like I said I can't get Safestrap to work properly with it unfortunately.

PA is the best ROM I've ever flashed, bar none. Everything just....works.

Did you try pressing the power button? Might just be the glitchy screen timeout.

Okay. Just to be clear again. Your not running PA on Safestrap? Sorry but just like to clarify.
