[REQ] DUALBOOT KERNEL/SCRIPT/MENU OPTION FOR THE NOTE 4 (like Linaro)

[TEKHD]

< < < This Thread is dedicated to raise awareness to developers... for the research and developing of a dualboot solution for the Note 4 > > >

It would be really awesome to have a DualBoot Note 4... so you can run for example a Note 4 LOLLIPOP ROM / Note 4 KITKAT ROM / NOTE 4 AOSP ROM or any other custom configuration/ROM.

I don't see the point of dual-booting multiple versions of Android. Now if we could have Android and Windows that would be cool.

A simple answer is to be able to try roms without having to make a backup , wipe and then restore if it's not right for you. It is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Tasssadar is the dev you'd like to get a hold of for your request, IMO.

@rlorange created an app and ported over instructions that work from the s4. He has yet to start a dedicated thread, but I think this is what you're looking for.

Ok I've got something great for all you Note 4 owners.

I've made an app which will automatically re-patch the patched zip with the slot of your choice and bypassing the AROMA freeze issues with NOTE 4

First you need to patch your cm12 zip file using this amazing patcher app

Potential in the future!?! I followed the link and setup my Note 4 for Dual Boot in less than 20 minutes. That includes downloading an extra rom! The future is now.

 

[zain0300]

yeah T-Mobile Note 4 already has dualboot

I got cm12 installed as secondary with kitkat ROM installed as primary. I installed the dual boot patcher on cm12 and I try to select my primary ROM to reboot into it but it doesnt, it just keeps rebooting into cm12.

Any ideas?

I do like cm12 though, runs pretty good for being a beta still.

Im serious. I cant figure it out. Keep getting frozen in twrp.

You aren't using the updated app and reading. It doesn't work in recovery on note 4 because of Aroma GPU

 

[flexxoo]

does safestrap works in the note 4?
