MultiROM installation/Android N? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
Before you read all what's down here I want to point out that I never used MultiROM before.
So with the Android N Preview that came out a few hours ago and me wanting to try it out but don't want to lose my CM13 I thought I would have a look at MultiROM.
Now I know I can just make a backup of my CM13 but I want to give MultiROM a try if that is possible.
So right now I'm on CM13 with EX 1.08 which does have MultiROM support.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/wip-unoffical-multirom-bullhead-anglar-t3315266
But it seems inactive so I don't know if it's the right one? If this is the right one then is it stable enough to use for now? Like will it correctly boot my primary ROM (CM13) and install a secondary ROM.
Will I lose anything if I install it and is it just like flash MultiROM TWRP, ElementalX and the MultiROM installer?
Thanks in advanced!

Don't think they ever got it working right.

Multirom is under active development in this thread:

It sees fairly regular updates.

Can it already be used or is just not ready yet?
I'll be patient if it's not ready.

It's available and working with MMB29Q roms for sure. I do not believe Android N would work.

TWRP recovery is in process. I helped bigbiff with it on the Note 2014 and he has started on the Pro 8.4. It make a couple of days but we will get a recovery.
If the boot loader is locked does that mean he is working on a safe strap. I have a vzw note 3 and SS blows.....

Not locked. Just the Knox efuse which gets tripped when you root. Bigbiff needs kernel source to finish TWRP. I have given all the partition information.

Do you know what he's doing for the kernel? Trying to make the stock kernel work?
Either way, you may want to point him at the thread I just created in case he wants to build off of that.

He is trying to make the stock kernel work. Recovery booted fine it was just stuck showing landscape TWRP while device is in portrait and was not showing data partition for backup. I have sent him logs and partition info he needed. Are you getting this device? I know you did great work for my old Rezound and DNA.

I have had the device for a couple of days but I don't get much time to work on android development so we'll see how things go with this tablet on the CM front.

Yes I was thinking of Chad. I know you did great kernel work on the DNA. Samsung responded to my request and released the source for the Pro 8.4.

Getting closer. Recovery is booting fine now. A couple of small issue to iron out. Once this is released by bigbiff please donate or give him props. He has now worked on the Note 2014 and the Pro 8.4 just by me PM'ing him.
Might be a dumb question, but when this is working for the pro 8.4 will it also work for the 10.1 or is that a whole 'nother animal?

Whole other animal. You will need to contact one of the TWRP people. Bigbiff is doing the 8.4 and he did the Note 2014 also. The Note 2014 is very very similar. If you PM him you will need to have ADB working and be able to follow instructions from him. I have been pulling and sending logs.
Anyone capable of making TWRP themes? We are getting close on fully working TWRP for 8.4. He is going to get exfat support built in. The theme he has works but only uses 2/3 of the screen.
@nrage23 Any more progress on TWRP? I really hate using the CWM currently available.

He got 2.6.3.2 working well but they are releasing 2.7 so he is working on that now. There is no theme for a 1600 x 2560 device anywhere for TWRP. I got a theme very close and he is trying to finish fixing that as well.

It is not advisable to flash touchwiz as secondary. The reason the ROM zip is too big. Even if u have space in or internal SD it would some time flash but will hang at the boot screen. If needed keep touchwiz as primary only.

@tilaksidduram mentioned about Ubuntu Touch in the first post of this thread. But I suppose there is no mechanism currently to install it via MultiROM Manager as it displays "This is unsupported device (t03g)!" even after performing all the steps that @tilaksidduram mentioned. We can though install AOSP ROMs as secondary ROMs. Does anyone know how to dual boot Touchwiz and Ubuntu Touch on Note 2 (N7100)?

How do you root the new TW 5.1.1 Lollipop on T-900?

Has anyone figured this out yet? I tried, and got the TWRP recovery installed, (although at the top of the screen when booting to TWRP it said in red letters, Not enforcing SElinix ?) anyway, then I tried to flash the SU superuser and it boot looped. So I am back at the beginning after managing to get back into TWRP and wiped, and re flashed the new 5.1.1 again. Has anyone else had any luck with this? I haven't tried CF autoroot yet, and to be honest I'm really scared to after this.
edit...someone else tried the CF autoroot, and it too boot looped their tab. This doesn't look good.
I gave one idea in the other thread. Or try making a pre-rooted version with this.

Thats well beyond my skills. Thanks tho, but there isn't many developers for our t-900, so it looks like we may have to put up with bloatware for a while.
If/when the 10.1 lollipop update comes out I might take a stab at it... But no promises. I used to do stuff for the Tab 2 10.1 until it broke... And that was using the old Android kitchen. I've never used the new one...
I haven't done any dev work in over a year, and even then it was pretty basic! Lol just a couple of ports and pre-rooted roms.

Why don't you try it?
I'm trying to DL the FW right now, but at this rate I won't have it until sometime tomorrow. Pretty annoying server.
ps. if you try flashfire, make sure you set your tablet date back a month in order to make flashfire think the beta isn't over (it won't work if it sees the date as past September 1).
I'm not sure how flash fire will help since we are already flashed to 511

If you can get this out, trying to convert my wife to android from iOS. Would be willing to test, especially since multiRom is in the works.
Assuming you have dropped interest in porting one over. I have never ported a rom or done anything dev wise but may give it a go over the next 2 or 3 days and see if I can get a stable MIUI port.

Not even close. PC went out on me and, to help cover some bills, I had to fall back on my S6 and sell my 5x =( If you are like me and have 0 experience HERE is a really good guide! Sorry I can't be of further help.
Update: Patchrom is still not updated to MM so even without the device or my main PC I couldn't build it anyway and the only way to build it is with MI4c roms. They haven't even released the 5.1 patchrom
Is there anyone else interested in giving a try about this happening?
Of course I am interested in whole MIUI thing.

xPosed and Cataclysm ROM

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Xposed on cataclysm from. I flash the zip file, but after optimization of applications I have a force close of the UI system app. Then I need to uninstall the framework in order to restore the system. Anyone have some suggestions? Any other ROM like cataclysm with Xposed already in?
Thanks all
I know it's not an answer to your question, but I'd advise against using a ROM that's been discontinued half a year ago. Though Cataclysm was a great ROM i moved on to Pure Nexus myself. Works great with Xposed.

You're doing something wrong.
Are you using the correct Xposed? Version 86? X64?
Are you on the latest Pure Nexus and latest Vendor img?
Are you using latest SU? 2.76 ?
If you're saying you are having bootloops with Cataclysm, I and everyone else will not help you. That ROM is dead, it cannot be compatible with anything current.

Don't know, haven't used that feature ever on any ROM.
I think Gravitybox has it though? not sure.
Anyway, yeah, just use a different one, that is currently supported. Otherwise it's impossible to pin-point a ROM-SuperSu conflict.

Some people reported bootloops when flashing in the wrong order. If you clean flash pure Nexus and stick to the flashing instruction there should not be a problem.
