5. Download MULTI-CSC : LINK REMOVED - it causes the loss of root permissions (use only for samsung keyboard "null null" issue)
6. Do a nandroid backup of your actual situation (People actually on ICS rom, MIDNOTE2.0 included, must flash abyss3.9 kernel (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCY2EyNGRhMTctODE2MC00MDU4LWE2MjgtYjRmM2RmMmEwM2Zh), reboot kernel and go back to Gingerbread, like said before, because (I repeat) STARTING BASE MUST BE GINGERBREAD WITH FULL ROOT
7. Open mobile Odin and select "open file", then select "step 2" tar file. Now select "kernel", then select "step 3" tar file, verify that ALL (enable everoot, inject superuser, inject mobile Odin) are checked, then check also "wipe data and cache". Now press "flash firmware" and answer "yes" on md5 verify.....(Odin PC causes increase of the counter, and I'm not directly experienced a flash with it, so please, don't complain on the forum if you don't want to use mobile Odin)
8. After the flash, you will be in CWM recovery, do a reboot, then wait some minutes to build the caches, ONLY FIRST TIME you will see statusbar only. Now long press power button, then select "reboot" and WAIT TILL YOU WILL BE AGAIN IN FULL WORKING SYSTEM
9. You're not yet on MIDNOTE2.1, now you have to download the real customization zip from here : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCTl9SUVBxQTFTaUtyUU8zQUZ4dmZFUQ VERY IMPORTANT STEP : VERIFY IF mobile Odin obtain correctly root permission
10. Reboot in CWM recovery, then flash gapps7.1 (step 4 zip file), reboot and configure your google account using chinese keyboard
11. Now verify MD5 of "step 9" zip file : b442d6e1f809ffad9ebf0475e2a93ed1. Only if correct, reboot again in CWM recovery and flash it
12. Now you are in MIDNOTE2.1 read below my recommendations :
- Use apex launcher (embedded in 2.1 rom), best ICS experience
- Use App Quarantine (in the app drawer), to easily freeze all the apps that you don't need (chinese or samsung), I preferred to leave the complete rom because there are many Chinese users that use MIDNOTE..
- Make a home shortcut to "quick settings", and use it to set "sound + vibrate", verify if it works correctly, then from now on you will not miss notifications..
- You will find "note everything", very nice app to makes all kind of notes
- Use "not call log" (in the app drawer) to fast switch to home after a call
- Use N7player for music (in the app drawer), best app and related widget (for my opinion)
- Use Sygic (free version in app drawer), best ICS compatible navigation program
- You can find also ICS Keyboard, try it, it's a very nice keyboard
- Freeze S-planner if you don't want to see doubled calendar events notifications
- You can use CWM recovery to flash zip files and do nandroid backups, BUT DON'T USE IT TO RESTORE ANY KIND OF BACKUPS (GB OR ICS), OR TO WIPE DATA, IT DOESN'T WORK and causes bootloop and lost of root permissions, so if you need to go back to GB, use redpill recovery from abyss3.9 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22758543&postcount=6). If you need, you CAN restore (from redpill recovery of course) also ICS nandroid backup, but remember, after that, you will not be able to delete files from system directory
- and now.......THE CHANGELOG :
A. fixed random SOD of 2.0 (thanks to LB2 modem)
B. fixed random reboot, but the "tradeoff" is the return of "android apps optimization" every reboot
C. fixed all contacts app various problems
D. fixed lots of full root related problems, now you HAVE full full full root..
E. fixed Samsung keyboard, now it's fully working like GB one (only english language)
F. fixed stock video player with all kind of video formats
G. nice "Armani" fonts
H. fixed stock internet browser, no more "black on black" address bar (but you can find also ICSbrowser+ in app drawer)
I. native call recording using stock dialer
L. real ICS themed, with more readable icons and no "double arrows"
M. torch widget works fine with three steps
.
.
Z. still works in progress for "Google locations" and battery % in display settings, on my Note I have it perfectly working (see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24143667&postcount=1154), but this morning a member of an Italian forum warned me that not worked for him, so I decided to publish the ROM with the settings "unmodified". I need more testing time for it... (Thanks to "lukemo" of Telefonino.net forum for the advise)
VERY IMPORTANT ADVISE : as usual, I don't want donations, but this morning I decided to devote MIDNOTE2.1 hard work to my parents ("B&G" are the initials of their names), both died of cancer, so.........if you want to give a donation, please follow this link : https://www.airc.it/aiutare-la-ricerca/donazione-online.asp

Thankyou maxicet for your excellent work!!!
Installed it a few hours ago and so far all is working.
Fastest and solide ROM for daily use for me.
Only the theme is a bit low contrast, many of input boxes are barelly visible.
Please, disable WiFi if want to use GPS.
CoPilot crashes if WiFi is enabled.
For me the fastest ROM for now, only light bugs and i hope our great dev will eliminate it soon.
Contacts need a bit more work, the displayed name is wrong on call, thats only bug.
Thakyou for the "Italian quality" ROM its really the best now.
Great please can you write what doesn't works?

Massimo,
Theme looks great. Hope you are finding the ICS leak more useful than I am. I got your PM, but I'm really still just using GB and waiting for a new CM9 build.
Regarding your PNG issues, I would inspect the original apk and make sure the image pixel sizes of the themed replacement matches.

EDIT: I hope you will do an absolut ICS themed rom!!
Thanks for the awesome work. Got everything working & its been peeerfecto!
Svox tts
Is the svox problem fixed? Anyone tried ?
@all
managed to figure out whats wrong with dialer and contacts.
If the phonenumber of person calling you, is saved with international prefix, e.g. 0041xxx or +41xxx, in your contacts, than you see only the phonenumber from the caller but there is NO ASSOCIATION with your contacts. And on display you should see "HunagdeHuongGong" as caller name and his phonenumber, WITHOUT international prefix.
For Switzerland is international prefix 0041xxx or +41xxx.
For inlandcalls i use the 044xxx for Zürich region.
So i have a phonenumber like this 00 41 44 xxx saved in my contacts, the callerID displayed is only 044xxx and the phone dont find any contact with matching number to display the name.
Dont know how its for another country, but this causes the crash from dialer and contacts in Switzerland and Europe, with prefix 00xxx or + als leader.
I changed the phonenumbers of my contacts to only reginal prefix and the callerID works flawless, the callername is proper displayed on screen.
Hope any dev can fix this issue.
I think thats wrong because the leak is from China and there are different callerID and prefix managments.

After a new wipe and installation there is no correction. Also with USB connection my phone wasnt found by windows.
@ziko
Did you try the other ICS leak for Europe market? Was there no problem with contacts? Could you try if the problem exists with the contacts apk from european release? If you don't have it I can upload it.

I have flashed all ICS ROMs available on XDA.

There is no problem, i will try your contacts apk
GO Dialer EX and GO Contacts EX works, only the stock ones are faulty...
Finally, I finished creating my scripts & kernel for booting a rom on SD Card. Dual boot kernels, preinstalled roms, setup scripts, instructions are available below.
How to make a rom on SD Card
Requirements: 3.1 GB of free space on your internal SD Card.
New method to set up the rom, fast and easy. You can now boot 5 different roms
Here is some new kernels you can try, but the setup in the Aroma v2.3c package below
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLS7-XJB-3.1-dualboot.zip (support only TW JB roms)
http://www.mediafire.com/?os6zi3u2mpe6yih
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLS2-XJB-2.7-dualboot - thanks to Phil3759 (support only TW JB roms)
http://www.mediafire.com/?k574667whh3c6qk
Hydracore v6.2 beta3 OC - dualboot kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/?0w852y7hl5yf8k8
Hydracore v5.4 - dualboot kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/?iawqi5picfcb9sm -STD
http://www.mediafire.com/?w18xigwkd9ya4no -OC
Download this current Aroma version
Version 2.3c http://www.mediafire.com/?5ym62wr7kta1u2o
- Added Timeout 15 seconds for the Boot Menu
- Fixed issue with the rom3 external in the Boot Menu
- Added Option to fix root in page 2 of the tools section.
Version 2.3b http://www.mediafire.com/?g3g8hdc2n0j3u9v
- Added Hydracore v4.3b kernels
- For some users, if you don't see the bootsdrom.cfg in the \sdcard\SDRoms folder, simply extract it from the Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v2.3b.zip (in the Default folder) and put the bootsdroms.cfig in the \sdcard\SDRoms to enable the dualboot roms.
- For some users, if you want to show the boot menu, you can put an empty file named "bootmenu_on" in the \sdcard\SDRoms folder.
Version 2.1b http://www.mediafire.com/?7aqibjh5nhgnh6m
- Added Hydracore v4.1b kernels
- Possible fix for the bootsdrom.cfg not being extracted for some users
Version 2.0 http://www.mediafire.com/?y0gsnzmwb7e8r6z
- Added Hydracore v3-5 kernels
- Fixed issue setting up the rom partition images on the external SDCard.
Version 1.9-1 http://www.mediafire.com/?foumtinhrhid2c6
- fixed the issue that the STD kernel always being flashed when select the OC one.
Version 1.9 http://www.mediafire.com/?ykvjahj8d32pcdv
- Added Hydracore v3-1 both OC and STD versions.
- Add boot menu options. This can be turned on and off in the "Set Default Booting Rom" section in the dualboot Aroma.
- More checking in the mount partitions tool to make sure we don't mess-up the phone rom. Again, if you see any error, don't flashing any rom/mod, otherwise it will mess up the main phone rom.
Version 1.8 http://www.mediafire.com/?lpxesvw31u3es6a
- Use a new method to mount the partitions for a rom on SDCard. Now you can directly flash new roms without messing up the phone rom.
- Clean up other versions, they seem to be obsolete now.
How to setup and flash a new rom for booting from SDCard
Please follow the instructions below, this is the most easiest ever!!! There is no need to modify the rom or mod before flashing with my tool.
1. Back up your data (just in case)
2. Reboot to recovery and flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip
- Select Tools section. Then select the rom slot you want. If this is the first time you use that rom slot you need to setup system, data, and cache images for the rom. In page 1 of the tool, check "Setup System" and "Setup data & cache" to setup the images. You need to do this only one time
- In page 2, select "Wipe system", "Wipe data", and "Wipe cache"
-And the most important one, select "Mount Partitions". Don't forget to select "Mount Partitions" otherwise it will overwrite the data and mess up your phone rom.
-Press Next until complete, and don't reboot the phone. (If you see any error, reboot in to recovery and try again)
3. Make sure you don't see any error in the step 2. then you can now flash any rom you like as normal. It will be flashed to the rom slot you just select in the step 2. Don't reboot after complete because you need to flash a dualboot kernel after.
4. Flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip again, then select "Set Default Booting Rom", then select the same rom slot in step 2.
- Then select "SDCard" as default, and select "Don't Share"
- Then click "Yes" for the popup "Flash a Dualboot Kernel?" to flash a dualboot kernel. You have to flash a dual-boot kernel because in step 3, the kernel has been changed after flashing a new rom.
- Next select "HydraCore v1-7" this can boot most roms, Or you can choose "Goku v1.5-11" only CM9 & TW.
- Click "Next" till the end, and reboot the phone.
5. Now the phone should boot in to a rom on your SDCard.
Tips: To switch the rom, flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip again, and then select "Phone" as default in the "Set Default Booting Rom" section.
Or you can keep pressing and un-pressing the HOME BUTTON at boot.
Enjoy flashing and new roms, and good luck to you!!!!!
Here is the tutorial how to flash mods/themes, just a little bit different from flashing the rom.
1. Back up your data (just in case), you may also backup the rom folder in the SDRoms folder you want to flash a mod.
2. Reboot to recovery and flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_vXX.zip
- Select Tools section. Then select the rom slot you want. Skip Page 1, Then in page 2, select "Wipe dalvik-cache" only
-And the most important one, select "Mount Partitions". Don't forget to select "Mount Partitions" otherwise it will overwrite the data and mess up your phone rom.
-Press Next until complete, and don't reboot the phone. (If you see any error, reboot in to recovery and try again)
3. Make sure you don't see any error in the step 2. then you can now flash any mod you like as normal. It will be flashed to the rom slot you just select in the step 2.
- Click "Next" till the end, and reboot the phone.
4. Reboot the phone and boot the rom you want.
FAQ
1. I get an error, what should I do?
- Reboot into recovery, and start over
- If still get the error, Flash "HydraCore v1-7" kernel, and reboot into recovery, and start over
- If still get the error, save the recovery log and post it here.
2. How do I reset the rom on SDCard?
- Flash Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_v1.8.zip, then select "Tools", select the rom slot you want to reset, skip page 1, then select "Wipe data", and "Wipe cache" in page 2. Then next until finish.

Old Version
Code:
Version 1.7 [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?5w03c1q49wppbgb[/url]
-Added HydraCore v1 - big thanks to g.lewarne who makes this universal kernel working for all roms TW, MIUI, CM9, CM10. Now you can use this kernel to dual boot any rom you want.
-Added latest CM10 kernel.
[SIZE="3"][B][COLOR="blue"]How to modify rom and directly flash it using the Mount Partitions Tool[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE].
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Most of MIUI,CM9,CM10 roms have the format command which is not safe for directly flashing a rom on SD Card. Follow this instruction to remove the format command.[/COLOR]
1. Extract the rom
2. Then edit the file META-INIF\com\google\android\updater-script using Notepad++
3. Take out the format command [B]format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "0");[/B] if there is any
You may also take out all the mount, unmount, kernel flashing, and modem flashing or any command that is related to mmcblk.
4. Compress/Zip the rom back. Now you have the modified rom.
5. Now it ready to flash using the mount tools. Boot recovery, run my dualboot aroma, select tools.., select a rom to flash, in page 1 select wipe system, data, and cache, then in Page 2 select mount partitions for rom on SDCard. Don't reboot after run the script. If don't see any error or fail. Then go ahead flash the modified rom. It should directly flash it into the rom you just pick. Now flash a dualboot kernel you like and enjoy your new roms.
Note: Do the same for any mod, except you don't need to modify the mod, just run the mount tool and flash the mod.
[SIZE="3"][B][COLOR="blue"]How to Setup[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
1. Flash a rom you want, make sure follow the instructions of the rom you want to flash. Otherwise you will get a brick.
2. Run (flash) Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_vXX.zip, then select Tools, then select rom slot (1 out of 5 slots) you want, then select "Copy system to SDCard" and "Wipe data & cache". This tool will copy your current rom to SD Card and setup the data.img and cache.img for the rom on SDCard. I takes about 5 to 10 minutes to process. [COLOR="red"](don't reboot after completion)[/COLOR]
3. Repeat the step 1 & 2 if for the second, third, fourth, or fifth rom except you need to pick a new rom slot. [COLOR="red"](don't reboot after completion)[/COLOR]
4. Run (flash) Chuan_Dualboot_Aroma_vXX.zip again. Select Default Booting Rom, then select the rom slot you want to boot, then select "SDCard" as default. Then Click Yes to flash a dualboot kernel, pick a kernel you want (make sure it's compatible with the rom you want to boot). [B]Now Reboot[/B], and the phone should boot into a rom on SDCard.

Version 1.6 - [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?d7bs7srsecwgm16[/url]
- Added Notecore 14.1 kernel
- Added Goku v1.5-11 kernel - thanks to funky81 for the kernel source. This is a very good kernel that supports both CM9 & TW. Now you can dual boot CM9 and TW with this kernel. Keep press/unpress the Home button at boot to switch the rom.
- Added Wipe Tools for the rom on SD Card
- Added Mount partition Tool for the rom on SD Card. This allows you to directly flash a rom or mod on the rom on SD Card. Now you can easily flash a new rom on SD Card, [COLOR="Red"]but be careful if you want to use this tool to flash CM9/CM10 roms. There's a format command there, you need to take out before flashing those roms.[/COLOR]
- Some fixes for the Tools sections.

- Added share data options too.
Version 1.0 [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?b2i954vve1gh1c4[/url]
-Initial Aroma version
-----------Old Method---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Backup your current rom and your data just in case something goes wrong and you can recover your data. You can skip this step if you don't need to save anything.
2. Flash any rom you want like you've been doing. This rom will be a rom on your internal SD Card. Just follow the guild from Dev's of the rom you want to flash. Be careful about EMMC brick, please don't wipe using an unsafe kernel. (Skip this step if you want your current rom to be the rom on your SD Card)
Some roms don't auto get root, so just to be sure you can flash this [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?8adhwsporsdd61w"]CWM-SuperSU-v0.95.zip[/URL]
3. Copy rom partition to internal SD Card. You can do it partially or all by flashing the following scripts.
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?te8soummj0b9iqv"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_system.zip[/URL] - copy system partition to SD Card. ([COLOR="Blue"]recommend flashing this only[/COLOR])
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4c6de3h1e8hx4po"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_data.zip[/URL] - copy data partition to SD Card. ([COLOR="Red"]not recommended[/COLOR] unless you want to copy your current apps & data to SD card and want to restore back from the rom on SD card later)
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vb5l6nc8qr4qlno"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_cache.zip[/URL] - copy cache partition to SD Card. [COLOR="Red"](not recommended[/COLOR], another script will take care of this)
- [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dvapmhow79pe1v0"]copy_rom_to_sdcard_all.zip[/URL] - copy all rom partitions to SD Card. ([COLOR="Red"]not recommended[/COLOR], take long time to do)
4. Flash [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7q8ml0muqhh930m"]sd_internal_rom1_wipe_data_cache.zip[/URL] to setup a blank data.img and cache.img for the rom on SD card. (only flash this if you didn't flash the above copy_rom_to_sdcard_data.zip and copy_rom_to_sdcard_cache.zip, or copy_rom_to_sdcard_all.zip)
5. Setup the config file for your rom on SD card.
- Flash [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x1jsiec6c7g78qk"]sd_rom_config_setup_3.2b_default_phoneRom.zip[/URL] to setup the config file for the SD Rom and boot your phone rom as default.
- Or Flash [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?318jat6mkpjjec5"]sd_rom_config_setup_3.2b_default_sdcardRom.zip[/URL] to setup the config file for the SD Rom and boot your rom on the SD Card as default.
[COLOR="Blue"] Remember: if the phoneRom and the sdcardRom are the same base, or same platform (CM9, or ICS, or GB). You can switch the rom by keep press/unpress the home button at boot. [/COLOR]
6. Flash dual boot support kernel to boot the rom on the sdcard. You can flash one of the flowing compatible kernels.
[COLOR="Red"]Remember: Do not flash the CM9 kernel to boot the Samsung ICS rom and versus [/COLOR]

7. Reboot and test the rom on your SD Card. Make sure you test both roms on the SD Card and your phone to make sure they are working.
8. Once you are able to boot the rom on the SD Card, You can now restore your old rom, or flash any new rom you want.
Remember: If my dual boot kernel doesn't support your new rom, you need to flash my dual boot support kernel to boot the rom on SD card, and you need to flash a compatible kernel with your phone rom to boot your phone rom back.
Please note that my current kernels with dual boot support work with Samsung ICS or CM9 roms. I have not tested them with any GB rom yet, so be careful when you flash them on a GB rom or a different platform rom.

- Add new kernel GL NOTECORE V8 with dual boot support [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?6p5wapyps7q5qe8"]download link[/URL]
- Re-word the instructions. Much simple and faster to set-up.
Version 3.2
- Updated to SpeedMod-K3-9 source
- Optimized booting time - (about 6 seconds faster than original SpeedMod-K3-9)
- Add feature to safely share data partition if the two roms are the same base but different mod/theme.
- Update SD Rom by extracting system and data folder to /sdcard/SDRoms/update/ - experiment (report if it works for you)
Version 3.1:
- Add feature to put the update.zip in the /sdcard/SDRoms/update/ folder for flashing a mod/theme on the SD Rom.
- Create a file "wipe_dalvik-cache" file in the /sdcard/SDRoms/update/ folder to wipe dalvik-cache on the SD Rom. (simple and fast)
or simply flash this [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?690wyv2zt5j7185[/url] ro wipe dalvik-cache on the SD Rom.
Version 3:
- Updated to SpeedMod-K3-7 source
- Add script to wipe data & cache for rom1 on SD Card. You can also save 1.1 GB space with this. This contains empty data and cache partition images and extract them on your SD Card. You can also save a lot of time & space by simply copy the system to sd card, and then flash sd_internal_rom1_wipe_data_cache.zip
Version 2:
- Updated to SpeedMod-K3-6 source
- Add default rom value in bootsdrom.cfg. Now you can set default rom (phone or sdrom) by changing the default value in the config file.
- Add CMW restore scripts to restore sdrom back to phone rom.
- Some minor tweaks.
Version 1:
- Initial release
- Fix the mounting bug (swaping external and internal sd card) - Kernel/CWM
Could you make an app?
It would be easy to make some $.
Not right now, this requires some kernel modification which is not easy to do in an application. The app may help to flash the rom on SD card faster and easier, but can't change the kernel itself.

Good luck for this project
Will try it out sometime...
Nice concept.. I always want to have dual boot for Samsung and AOSP/CM based ROM... But now, wait until we see a one-for-all kernel like siyah to be developed for our Notes..
Wow ! Waiting for such a thing !
Will install it and see ....
How can I delete the Rom on SD again, if I don´t want it anymore?
And to be sure the SD means the external SD.
thanks for answer
Edit: sorry to say, but ur links are 404 Error, can´t download anything
Just delete the SDRoms folder on your internal SD card. SD means internal SD. You can move it to external SD by changing the bootsdrom.cfg values.

With changing that value, is it possible to get triple boot?
I imagine to have:
- CM/AOKP in the main ROM
- custom ROM based on TW on internal SD
- official ROM on external SD.
Download link
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xc03yg1wjjzziys
I would give it a try if the download links would work
and thanks for the quick answer
I think it´s really cool to have two Roms on our Note to play with
Edit: too late, first Link is back again
CM/AOKP is not supported right now.
Here is an example of the values in the bootsdrom.cfg file
rom=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1
system=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1/system.img
data=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1/data.img
cache=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom1/cache.img
After you are done copy rom to SD card, you can rename the rom1 to rom2 in the SDRoms folder. Then change the values in the config file like this
rom=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2
system=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2/system.img
data=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2/data.img
cache=/sdmnt/SDRoms/rom2/cache.img
If you want to use external SD instead.
Copy the SDRoms folder to your external SD
then change the config file values like this. sdmnt1 means external SD.
rom=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1
system=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1/system.img
data=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1/data.img
cache=/sdmnt1/SDRoms/rom1/cache.img

is there a way to change that it boot normally the phone Rom and press home button only if I want to boot the SD Rom?
Wait for my next update

I tried the setup.zip but the is no bootsdrom.cfg file in SD Rom folder
I tried it twice.
so I cannot boot the SD Rom
any suggestions?
no root! for phone Rom
for first problem I copied over the bootsdrom.cfg in the folder and it works,
booted the SD Rom and it has still root
but now I can´t boot Phone Rom with holding Homebutton
now I can switch between the Roms by rename bootsdrom.cfg to .bak
but it always been optimizing the apps when switch the Roms
I get root back for the Phone Rom :laugh:
I get it nearly all to work :laugh:
only things are that the homebutten at booting doesn´t work, have to rename the bootsdrom.cfg into .bak for booting phone rom
and
the optimizing all apps at switch between the roms
but therefor it´s REALLY cool and I THANK YOU again for your GREAT WORK :good:
I always searched for a thing like this
Really great work
Looking forward ti seeing you porting it to cm9 kernel
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
a few little things that I noticed:
- after each switch I have to decide which Home Launcher I want to use
- the widgets I place on Nova Launcher are the same on both Roms, so I guess if I use the same Launcher I can´t use different Widgets by default
- the Icon Quickpanel Settings is shown in one Rom but in the other Rom the Icon is shown as not installed, so I have to put it again from app drawer to the homescreen
- and I tried to copy the files from sd_rom_setup into the right folders so that the homebutton work, but it doesn´t work
realy great job mister...
will learn how to implement..
now i can put also switch my fav rom... albafinalstage n cassie 4.5 slim :thumbup:
