Disclaimer: I didn't create Boot Manager and am not affiliated with the developers in anyway.
I didn't see anyone posting this yet so I figured some of you might be interested.
There's an app on the market now called Boot Manager that's 2.99 and allows you to dual boot up to 5 roms. You still have your main rom which is stored directly in your phone's memory and then up to four more that are stored and run from your sdcard. Because you're running secondary roms from your sdard those may not run as fast as your main phone rom but my preliminary testing has been pretty good.
Boot manager is simple to set up and use and requires no special skills. You don't even need to partition your sdcard.
All you have to do is put whatever roms you wish to run on your sdcard and then install them through Boot Manager. Initially setting up the roms takes maybe 15 minutes but once your done you can boot back and forth very quickly, much faster than doing nandroids.
Enjoy
Update: I'm now running 2 AOSP roms Kushdeck's 1.3b2(main rom) and SalvageMod 1.4 and a Sense rom SynergyRls1 and haven't noticed any major issues. Gps works on each rom as well as 4g. Synergy does have some lag and for this reason took some patience and a little longer to initially set up but it works decently for running off of an sdcard. On a side note I've heard claims that Synergy does have some lag issues running normally.
I plan on ordering a better sdcard with a faster class rating such as class 4 or 6 so hopefully this will decrease lag but overall I'm very impressed with Boot Manager. If nothing else this gives you a chance to test drive roms without having to go through the whole process of replacing your daily driver.
PLEASE READ: I've reached out to one of the developers of this app who's from XDA and asked for his help in answering the problems some of you are having. I wish I could help more especially since this a paid app and you guys deserve to have an app that work. Below are the links to email support through the app website as well as the one of the developers Conap who's from XDA. Maybe if they receive enough emails they will shoot over to this thread to help.
Sorry I can't help more. All I can do is verify that it's working on my Evo but don't have enough advanced skills to do a lot more.

Fantastic alternative to being able to update prl/data profile on aosp considering that functionality hasn't been adapted to aosp yet.

Yea that's a good point. I'm running Kushdeck's 1.3b2 gb aosp as my main rom and didn't even think of that.

Alright, this looks really great. Love the idea. Just wondering for those who have it, since there are different kernels associated with each ROM (going from CM to Synergy) would you have to go back in and wipe battery stats? Also, would vipermod carry from ROM to ROM or would you need to set it up for every ROM?
How much room on the SD card would you need to boot 5 ROMS?
edit: quite a bit of room, have over a gig on sd card and can't load synergy. Have to do some cleaning later. Wish it could import nands, that would rock.
edit 2: cleared room, installed synergy on slot 1, rebooted, hanging on evo 4g screen..... bah
Im trying this now. I have Mikg as my phone rom and installing miui as a test. Will report back when I do some testing on kernals and battery life.
I'm getting error on editing boot.img when trying to install salvage.
Edit: even though this is an app, someone move it to the dev section. Needs more attention.

i need some more instructions. What are we supposed to wipe in the Rom Installer section? Also, how do you flash Gapps?
hasn't worked yet, boo... 2 battery yanks and nand restores
Edit: Got into salvagemod from synergy through the app. Didn't flash the Gapps, so it wouldn't recognize the app, so when I tried to go back to the "phone ROM", I get a "boot.img failed to flash, not rebooting" error.
yeah crazy... stuck in splash screen sooooo yay no bueno thus far...

Try doing it again. I've had that happen. Also the developer does state that not all roms will work. I've had 1 so far not work but I know Salvage works because I'm running it as a secondary right now.

Good question. That confused me first also. You only need to do wipes if you're installing a new rom over an original one in a slot. If the slot is empty you don't need to do any wipes.
I can't address the other problem since I'm not technically proficient enough with the app yet to give you suggestions. Sorry
To flash gapps just install the rom but don't reboot install gapps over the rom in the same slot.

Try doing it again or try another rom. My first tries didn't work either. Also as I mentioned above the developer says this doesn't work with all roms yet.
It takes a while. Since it's booting from your sdcard it's not quite as fast the first time as when you normally flash a rom. Mine stayed on splash screen for a little while to the first time I rebooted. Also try another rom just to see if that works for you.

It does not work on my evo. tried everything but it errors out while finishing building the rom.
Their description does say which phones it supports and EVo is not on there. They probably wont respond to any evo users (at least according to their description, since its a non supported phone).

This originally worked for me on stock, but didn't seem to stick for some reason. When I tried to use it a few days later, Wallet just told me that my phone wasn't authorized. I had to go back in and change my build.prop back to the maguro settings. Then it worked just fine.

Nothing will work on an LH2 base until Sprint gets an update that lib files can be pulled from. For this reason I flashed Wicked ROM and had to temporarily mod the build.prop and flash the latest update.fix file. Haven't tested it yet but I feel confident it will work as setup went smooth once I took those steps. If you are willing to use a ROM version prior to LH2 it will work.
Thanks for this. I installed wallet a week ago, but couldn't add any cards, saying that it has failed. I just did this on my phone and I could finally add my card. THANKS! Going to go test it out tomorrow. I am on Wicked v5.

I have had a sprint gs 3 and everythhog worked fine except they suck net speed wise.
Anyway I am on the tombile gs 3 now. I love this program called LBE security but in order to get it to work you have to reboot into recovery and fix permissions. This is where my issue starts.
On my sprint version it took a while to fix permissions but on me and my wife's s3 it says it completed but completes almost instantly which makes me think something isn't right. There are no programs for an alternate that I know of.
I used the same flash file I used with the sprint version which was clockwork mod and I even updated it to the touch...same thing..downloaded .tried team win recovery same thing.
Anyone have any ideas here? Rooted running different roms and same thing happens.
Sorry for the typos. Its hard to do this from my phone. I still use a t9 keypad app

I use the ROM Manager app for fixing permissions. You can watch it run, then it will prompt you to reboot. It creates a file on your sd card. I have used this app for awhile and it seems to do the job. I was also like you when using recovery to fix permissions and it's over in a second. I don't use ROM manager for anything else though. I use twrp for recovery. Good luck.

Thanks. I will try that. I tried it before and got the failed to fix permissions error. Anything else anyone can think of it could be.
Fixing permissions is pointless anyway. I haven't used it since the original Galaxy.

When you do it with CWM, it creates a log file. Don't remember where it goes, but it's easy to find. Called fix_permissions.log
Fixing permissions is the only way the lbe program I wanted to use would work since jellybean. Its apparently been abandoned on the market but I found a rough newer version but don't really like or trust is since chinese made and probably has a backdoor as zte and huwei supposedly have

Hi all.
My first post here and a couple of questions.
Per instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 , I was able to root my phone using TWRP and odin.
The phone works fine but many of the apps are missing (maps, youtube etc). I was able to download the maps 6.14 apk and install it, but the gps takes forever to lock now. Is there a s2 specific app that was somehow wiped out by the rooting process?
Also, the stock browser is set to full screen, but when typing in the address, the address bars flickers on and off and I can only see the google search suggestions untill I press the keyboard again. Im using stock samsung keyboard.
Don't know if it's normal, but the phone doesn't pull my contacs from the sim card before or after root. I used to have HTC Mytouch from T-mobile and the names and phone numbers all came up as soon as I insterted the sim card into that phone when I bought it 2 years ago.
Thank you.
Sorry forgot to add.
The phone is ( was?) stock JB 4.1.2 (t-mobile) and the only thing I did was root it.
The only thing I can think of is to re flash the stock ROM in Odin. Then redo installing recovery. I followed roughly the path to root you described and didn't have any problems.

Do you know if the settings and data will be wiped out if I try to reinstall ? I dont have a spare phone I would hate to lose the apps and the texts and etc.
Well, if you have twrp, install it first and make a backup that INCLUDES the preload partition as well as data, system, cache, etc. Then you don't need to worry. But odining stock job over stock job should be harmless since it won't overwrite data -- just be sure repartition isn't checked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Well, unrooted, rerooted, wiped clean, reinstalled stock 4.1.2 and nothing ...
The gps is crap with all the .conf files tried. And no matter what, once I install SU , the damn apps disappear after reboot. Plus considering that it's a 1.5mhz processor, its slower than my old HTS 1.2mhz Mytouch and even 1mhz ZTE warp. Probably gonna send it back. Too bad, since I like the screen a lot.
You're missing apps can be redownloaded from the play store. As for your GPS problem, download and follow the instructions to install AGPS from this thread and you should be fine.

Thanks , but I already tried that.
As for the apps, it's really not a big deals, but the fact that the SU app makes them disappear is a bit of a concern. , plus the fact that gps works like crap even after the patch and several new gps.conf files , make this phone an overpriced and kinda overhyped toy. Frankly one shouldnt be looking at patches and fixes on a phone this "good". If an old ZTE and Htc work without a hitch, then this thing is about $150 too expensive for what it is.
And for the life of I cant understand why wouldnt sucksung put a damn led light on the case to alert the user of missed calls or texts instead of us having to resort to the nolite and such..
Thank you for all the help though).Thank you though for the help.

Appreciate the advice.
But Ive done that already. The gps ,when it does finally lock, takes forever. Regardless of the .conf files. And no matter what, after SU gets installed and the phones is restarted some apps are simply gone.
Instead of stock ROM I would give you the suggestion of trying out cyanogen mod since imo its actually much better everything wise over stock ROM
Give it a whirl and tell us what u think

** Got Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition to work with Alliance T-Mobile ROM!! Data, calling, sms, mms work ! I smell a daily driver! **
ATTENTION: Please be careful make a nandroid of your current Verizon ROM. I am not responsible if you break your phone or lose data on your device!
**This is using the BETA version of Alliance ROM for T-Mobile Note 4. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910t-18-themes-huge-t3085560 to get an idea of the features of this ROM. Give lacoursiere18 and hsbadr a thanks and donate to them for making this great ROM and kernel.
Follow these steps one after the other and don't stop**
1. Make sure you are on a stock OAF Lollipop ROM using Multisystem #1 kernel, I think I used Rick's OAF Lollipop ROM. I am on BOG modem so I'm pretty sure any Lollipop modem will work with this.
2. Make copies on your SD card of:
- system/buildprop.xml & cscversion.txt
- system system/etc/apns-config.xml
- system/etc/permissions/verizon_net_sip_library.xml & vzwapnlib.xml
- system/lib/libril.so & libsec-ril.so
- system/apps/VzwActivationAgent & vzwapnpermission folders
- system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk
- system/privapp/VZWAPNService & secmms_candy folders
- system/csc folder
Reboot
4. Reboot into recovery and make a TWRP backup of everything
5. While in recovery dirty flash Alliance ROM BETA on top of stock lollipop ROM OAF that is using Multisystem #1 kernel (Wipe everything except data, and SD of course.)
6. Delete system/privapp/diagmonagent.apk and system/lib/libdiagmonagent.so because at startup it was sending some kind of diagnostics and thought it was messing with the data drop. Ever since these changes and a reboot data has been stable!
Reboot
7. Download root browser and swap those copied files in the appropriate file location. Change them to the correct permissions (the folders get 0755 and the files 0644, compare with other files and folders that are in place already. Make sure you change the permissions on all folders copied over and their contents). **Longest Step**
Reboot
8. Edit feature.xml in the system/csc folder and add:
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true
</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Above these tags on the bottom :
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
This enables auto download mms when data is toggled off !
Reboot
9. Make an backup in TWRP and you have your own custom ROM
I'm pretty sure this ROM is not compatible with xposed but it is very customizable, smooth, and it comes with a lot of features built in.
**READ ME**
Bugs:
- Silent mode is only available using the toggle. Volume down only goes to vibrate.
**
- Battery section in settings is missing
- No way to remove battery percentage in status bar
(Workaround: Download "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Playstore to access the battery section and to remove battery percentage)
**
- No way to uninstall 3mint battery mod without messing the systemui up
- Now that the mobile network settings are correct the advanced calling option is avaliable but it force closes and messes up your data connection. A reflash of everything will be needed so don't click on it! (I have a feeling a Verizon app is missing but not going crazy about this)
Any suggestions or thoughts about these current bugs would be helpful.
I cannot guarantee all Alliance settings will work but most of them do, it's awesome.
This manual port is now stable ! All basic phone functions work. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues not related to Alliance settings. I will try to help fix it.
Thanks Stedrocklp for taking the time to try and get this working. Jal3223 thanks for sharing that key porting info!!! Wouldn't be possible without your help! Thanks hsbadr for developing Multisystem kernel ! Thanks lacoursiere18 for creating this ROM !
I did the same thing with similar results. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge needed to get it functioning on the VZW N4. I still faithfully run alliance on my N3 and am dying to have it on my N4. Maybe we should try to get one of our great devs to hook us up.

I hear you man I came from the Note 2 with Alliance. That would be nice hopefully one sees this thread. So I should be a little more descriptive with the process of getting it stable with just mms and sms failing. I am sure coming from any LP ROM without xposed preloaded will work. I dirty flashed from Ricks ROM and get a Play Services error and it keeps popping up. I went into the app info of Google settings app, clicked manage storage, and wiped all data and then cache. After that it seems stable. I also edited the build.prop using build prop editor and changed all the tmo entries with vzw, saved, and rebooted and got the Verizon data icon signals. The mms and sms issue I believe has something to do with APNS but idk how that works. There is no way to edit the APNs in the mobile network settings by the way. I'm dying to get this to work too lol
I actually went in and put in the Verizon apns in the apns-conf.xml and I still couldn't get sms to work. What's funny is that I did get MMS to work so when I sent a message to anyone, I would send a pic too. My friends and family were like why do you keep sending nonsense photos LOL. Would it be something with the kernel/boot.img you think?

What values do you replace in the apns-conf.xml ? Yeah it's probably the boot.img how do we replace that? I tried doing this in the past but couldn't find our boot.img in a ROM. And every time I zipped the ROM back it never flashes always an error. I think it needs to be signed but idk how to do that. We're almost there !
I am going to try to swap the APN's and the boot IMG from a working Verizon rom and see what happens. I got so close to having it work I just couldn't get sms to work no matter what edits or adjustments I made. Having the MMS work meant that there was hope there must just be something I am missing. Let me do some tinkering and see if I can come up with something functional. If there is a will there is a way. Right?

What you taking about you don't know how to do this stuff lol. Yeah man there has got to be a way. We basically ported it lmao. Let me know what happens !
Maybe we should replace these files too? And what do you think this sentence means? That could be the problem, maybe? Lol
So far I have swapped the APNs and have copied the verizon specific apps that you mentioned. I am currently at the alliance boot animation but ? takes so long to load on the first boot I can't tell if it's stuck or I am impatient.

That's the worst wait ever lol
Well I have two failed attempts using the inernational version. Now I am going to try on the T-Mobile version with the same edits. I am going to get this going one way or the other.

I have my fingers crossed ! Did you do anything with the boot.img?
Yes I am using the boot.img from morom and it does get to the boot animation so we should be headed in the right direction.

Well I am getting closer to success. I got it to boot all the way though and go through the setup process. One problem; No Service! For some reason I am getting no service at all so I will have to recheck that all the Verizon BS is in place and working. Geesh Verizon sure does make this more difficult than it needs to be. Moving in the right direction though!

That's great that you got it to boot. Even though this may seem tedious, maybe try doing one verizon specific app by one? And maybe try replacing the T-Mobile mms-candy with the verizon one. I forgot lacoursiere18 recommended that when I was trying to make it work in the past. I tried doing it while I had Alliance installed and it messed up the app. The emoji kinda like this one was in place of the send button. It was actually pretty funny that that happens but idk maybe having it pre-installed will have better results? He also said something about the libs but I guess we should try one change at a time lol
I read the permissions of this application and it seems to deal with sending and receiving text messages and mms. Maybe this is the piece that was missing after editing the apns?
The T-mobile variant has two. Bin files the I removed thinking the we wanted to use the verizon modem but maybe they need to be there so I just added them back. I added the activation agent and all other verizon apps and libs. I couldn't find a lib file for mms_candy but I did swap them. Did you edit anything when you flashed or did you just flash as-is?

So far I only flashed as is. What values did you change on the apn config to get mms working? I completely swapped it with the Verizon one but that didn't work.
Got mms to work using GoSms and manually configuring the APN the msmc whatever to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
And the mms port to 80.
Now if we can only get sms to send we have a fully functioning alliance ROM on Verizon !
