Download latest app snapshot from : Noobdev
Files » DualBootPatcherAndroid-9.1.0.r80.gd5920b2-snapshot.apk
Latest as of Jan 8 2017
Install it like a normal apk
Dualbooting begins here ---
Main things to do are
Setup Dualboot boot enviroment
Setup Dualboot files
Flashing
Switch between roms
App sharing
Part 1
Setting up for first time use
-Open dualboot patcher app and do the following
-Go to Roms tab then click the 3 dot menu on "Primary"
-Press Set Kernel {if it didnt ask you at the beginning}
-Then press "Update RamDisk"
Part 2
Patching Files for dualboot
-Download the rom you want to dualboot / any mods for it / xposed or whatever flashableZIP you want to install on your secondary rom
-Go to "Patch Zip File" Press the + and click "Add Flashable Zip"
-Select your ROM Zip
-Select your Device (Trelte For exynos or Trlte For Snapdragon)
-Select "Data slot" in Partition Configuration
-The ID is your parition name , basicly SAME ID for zips = Same flash location, Type rom1 for example [No caps]
-Do the same for any other zips (making sure the ID is the excat same)
Part 3
Flashing
Once you are done patching files , you will end up with a duplicate collection of your original files, but they end with _data-slot-[ID].zip suffix
-Grab those files and go flash them in your recovery
-in the recovery screen you will see [Multiboot] prefix behind most scripts, that means you are flashing a patched zip
-Once you are done flashing just hit reboot from the recovery
Part 4
Switching
You will be greated with your new rom , do the first setup and you are now running your secondary rom
Now, to switch roms do the following
-Install your dualboot patcher app on your secondary rom
-Open it and go to "Roms" Section
-Suprise, you will see Primary and below it [ID] (Data Slot)
-Press the primary and reboot , thats it
Part 5
App Sharing
Lets say you want your app data to be available on all your roms , Whatsapp data , telegram data , game data etc
-Open the app on your primary rom , go to "App Sharing" Section and enable " Share Individual applications"
-Press "manage shared applications"
-Click on an app "whatsapp for example"
-Tick "Use shared data"
-Hit ok then Then go back after selecting all your apps
-It must show a toast saying "The changes will take effect next reboot"
-Reboot your device to the secondary rom and do the same thing for the same apps
App data is now shared across both roms,
F.A.Q please read before attempting this
1- Faild to set kernel due to unrecognized device
-Common issue with custom roms, you can fix it by editing your Buid.prop , changing device name , code etc and ro.patcher
2- Flashing files via recovery , will it affect my primary rom ?
- No , all the files are directed to your new rom enviroment , the only things that can affect dualboot is kernel changes
3- How to change primary / secondary kernel ?
-To change primary , just flash the new kernel , then follow " Part 1 " of the guide again
-To Change Secondary , Follow " Part 2 " of the guide to patch the Kernel zip then flash in recovery
4- Where are the files located ?
-your secondary system can be found under /data/multiboot/data-slot[ID]/System (only seen when you are using primary rom or Recovery file manager)
-Your shared app data can be found under /data/multiboot/_Appsharing
5- Enabling app sharing, my data for the app is gone.
-When you enable app sharing it changes the data location, so whatever data you had need to be moved with it, best thing to do is to backup the app you want to share with titaniumbackup (before enabling shared data for it) then restore it when you enable data sharing and rebooting
6- How many roms can i "dualboot"
-As much as you like aslong as you have storage in your data partition i had 4 roms dualbooted at one point
7- How much storage does it consume ?
-CM roms are usually around 1GB for system + few GBs for data (total of 3GB-4GB For normal user with some apps)
-TW roms are heavier around 2-3GB for system (most bloated AF roms) and same for data
8- My secondary rom broke due to a mod or something, how can i switch roms in recovery ?
-Download dualboot utilites
-Files » Utilities : DualBootUtilities-9.1.0.r80.gd5920b2.zip
-Flash in recovery and it will give you an aroma installer enviroment to select your roms
9- Switch roms without aroma
-In TWRP select flash IMG option instead of zip
-Navigate to /internalmem/Multiboot/[ID]/boot.img
-select flash boot
-swipe to flash then reboot
10- Can i install a rom with aroma installer ?
-Yes , just make sure that the aroma does NOT reboot your device after completion as the dualboot script needs to run after the rom script is done to set the new kernel etc
—---------------------------
Hope this helps whoever wants to use this app , its very simple ,it might look complicated but its easy, GL and have fun
This guide can be used for other devices , Dont forget to hit thanks and reply if it helped.
All thanks for the original devoloper and poster @Anik_khan
First here
Will give it a try ASAP and post my feedback soon
I tried to set it up but i keep getting the error message whenever I click on Set kernel: "Could not determine the boot partition because this device's codename 'hltedalvik.dex2oat-filter=speed' is not recognised". I am using the exynos variant, Dooola v12 rom. Can anyone help me, please?

If you want to dualboot a TouchWiz ROM, I highly recommend installing TW as the primary ROM. Here is screenshot of my dualboot testing list

Sorry for late response. Your issue is due to your custom Rom changing treltexx names in prop to graceltexx. Usually renaming the changed text to treltexx must work. Use a file editor and search for any grace mention and make sure it says treltexx. Specially the device codename
And update the app It seems old

Note: CyanogenMod 7 Official Support is HERE
Note 2: THIS THREAD IS FOR THE SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830/S5830B/S5830D/S5830L/S5830T ONLY. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE S5830i/C/M
This serves as a warning and guide to all the new users in the Galaxy Ace XDA forums .
Samsung Kies is Samsung's version of iTunes . It allows you to sync all your stuff and back them up in case of phone problems .
But there's one thing Samsung forgot about: Memory optimisation . Kies requires at least 1.5GB of system memory . Even iTunes handles memory better than Kies.....
As a result , many users brick their Aces because they use Kies to update their phone and Kies suddenly stops responding because of RAM .
EDIT: I am not so sure now because some users have successfully updated their devices with Kies .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
People, don't use ROM Manager for your own good......
You can also use CWM Manager , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
The unofficial versions are v3.2.0.1 (if I'm not wrong) , v5.2.0.3 and v5.2.0.6 .
Edit: WITH CF-ROOT , BUSYBOX is BULLETPROOF
Another note about UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE by consegregate:
consegregate said:
Unlocking is an extremely risky process which touches your efs folder. Your IMEI can be wiped if you do a wrong step and that's the end of your road in the android conquest. Many of us have fallen to the enticing prospect of unlocking where the phone gets out of the box and poof goes back in again in no time.
SO, until we can backup the IMEI, try not to unlock using unorthodox methods. It may work for some, but for most of you you'll be left with ****ty phones because you can't read and follow instructions. So until then, please don't post "bricked mai phone help plz" because if it was because of unlocking, we may not be able to help you.
Lastly, USE THE SEARCH TOOL. AIN'T THERE FOR NOTHING! Cheers, all you sad faces.

A view about this tutorial by Ardentfaith:
Ardentfaith said:
Okay first off, the tutorial is wrong.
I have a USA Samsung Galaxy ACE
WHAT MOST PPL WANT TO DO:
1) root phone 2) have an escape plan when it fails.
Let's work on the escape plan.
Make sure you use Samsung KIES to update to the latest version of Android Gingerbread. Why? You could go to samfirmware to get a firmware and then download odin to flash it but why? You want to BAckup an ORIGINAL working rom.
Now you have Gingerbread. You want a backup. Search for chinoray and clockwordmodace.zip. This'll give you the backup program (a.k.a Clockworkmod Recovery) so you can do a recovery no matter what. (Press home and power to boot into recovery mode. there's an option to install from a zip. Install chinoray's file)
Now backup. Remember to put the backupfile that's made in 2 other places. Your sdcard isn't exactly a bank.
Now you want to root. Do the same recovery thing with a file from davebyone called Acegingerroot.zip. That roots it to an english brazil portuguese kp7 thingie. It's just fastest way to root. You'll have superuser app on now. congrats.
Now what to do with root? Your ace has very little memory. You need to extend the internal app storage to the sd card. The FIRST thing you need to do is go back to Clockworkmod recovery mode and partition your sdcard so that it has a ext4 extension. Then update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name). That defaults all downloaded apps to run from the sd card.
--Or you can ignore all this and do the chainfire post cf-root guide but ket's modifications are more hassle free.
so now you have a rooted Samsung ACE running Gingerbread running Touchwiz with apps running off the SD card.
There's not a good rom out for Samsung ACE anyways. You might as well stick to this for now.

Here's a little guide on how to flash a ROM via ODIN by me:
Requirements:
- A Windows computer
- A Galaxy Ace plugged into the computer via USB
- You must have ODIN installed , duh !
- (Windows Vista/7 compulsory) Running ODIN with Administrative rights:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Ended KIES via Task manager:
Instructions:
1 - Download your favourite firmware here
2 - Extract the .rar out using WinRAR or 7zip (password is samfirmware.com)
3 - Check if it's a FULL package or ONE package:
FULL Package instructions:
1 - Open up ODIN (MAKE SURE ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode (Home + Power + Volume Down)
3 - Once you have correctly entered Download Mode and plugged in , this should appear in ODIN:
4 - Place the files in this order:
OPS - Select the file named Cooper_v1.0.ops (or anything like that)
BOOT - Select the file named "APBOOT_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5"
where "xxxxx" = Your firmware version
Phone - Select the file named "CODE_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5"
where xxxxx = firmware version
PDA - DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING
CSC - Select the file named "GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5"
where "xxxxxx" = the CSC region
EFS - Select the file named "MODEM_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03.tar.md5"
xxxxx = firmware version (Be VERY VERY careful with this EFS part)
After you're done , click on "Start" and let the magic reveal itself slowly......
ONE Package method:
1 - Open up ODIN
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode while plugged into USB
3 - Tick the option "One Package" in ODIN (Refer to previous ODIN picture)
4 - Select the only .tar.md5 file
Now press start and watch the magic.....
Nice info
Could you add this:
Do not install busybox on custom ROMs because busybox already exist on most custom ROMs, and also stock firmware with CF-Root. If you're already do so, it mean that you're ready to reflash your phone ...or try to remove all files named "busybox" with root explorer then flash CF-Root b79 (then flash b80 for KPN users)
Ya you are right when I am new for galaxy ace I Install rom manager and while taking backup through it my phone suddently off and not start not even in downloading mode. Means it breaked. But thanks god it repaired by samsung service senter. So not install that app.

Q0: What is root? What advantages can it do to my phone?
A0: "Rooting" your phone is the process of allowing Superuser access to your phone (a.k.a su or sudo access) , thus opening up system files to the user .
This is usually needed/done by custom ROMs .
More info can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
"Rooting is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices. It is analogous to jailbreaking on devices running the Apple iOS operating system."
Q1: What is a custom ROM? What to can it do to my phone?
A1: A custom ROM can be either:
- Modifications to the official company ROMs (a.k.a Stock ROMs) , which increases its speed and stability compared to original Stock ROMs .
These ROMs include:
-Blackhawk (by ketut.kumajaya)
-Fla.sh (by fla.sh) (No Support Available anymore , therefore no link)
-Sangingerace and Persian Gulf (by sasanekabaran)
-The BehradGH ROM series (by BehradGH):
-BehradGH ROM Series KPB
-BehradGH ROM Series KPN/KPH
-BehradGH ROM Series KP9
-NoName (by an0nym0us_)
-My-UI (by jusada)
-GingerReal (by redmaner and MuayThaiFighter08 (I think , sorry if I got it wrong !) )
-FirstUA (by Grif_07)
-Glsmt (by sametpoyraz)
-TheMyth (by devilsking) (Thread Closed)
-Blockbuster ROM Goes Ace
-Mush69ROM (Thread Closed)
-TurboBlue (by tazlooney89)
There are other ROMs that do not use Stock ROMs and are built from scratch by these AWESOME people:
-AOSP 2.3.7 (A work-in-progress by me , fla.sh , Jekle_Ace and consegregate)
-Grif_07's CM7.1 BETA-Kang 2.3.5
-BehradGH CyanoAce CM7.1 RC1 2.3.5
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.1 by nims11)
-Gingercruzt (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Touchwiz4 Style CM7.2 ROM (by slaid480)
-HaniMod*LiteStar (By sasanekabaran)
-Icecream Sunday & Speed Blur (by jusada)
-Cre.ActiveX (CM7.1 by saigetshu)
That is all you actually need to know
Q2: What's Recovery Mode? What is Download Mode? What are the different "Modes" that my phone can go into?
A2: Recovery Mode is a place where you go to if your phone is ever "stuck" or in a "bootloop" if you installed a ROM wrongly .
The stock recovery mode can't do much and therefore if you want better advantages such as:
-Backing up your current ROM and data
-Fixing Force Close Permissions
-Wiping your Dalvik-Cache
-Wiping Battery Stats (if your battery meter is jumpy , like all custom Stock ROMs)
-Install unsigned .zip files
-Formatting various parts of your internal memory (/system , /data etc)
-Mount USB Storage in Recovery Mode
The only thing you can do is use CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
For Download Mode , it is a Samsung-exclusive feature that allows you to "Download" custom stock ROM files into your phone .
It works like a normal install in ClockWorkMod Recovery (a.k.a CWM) , except that it automates everything (wiping data , wiping system stuff)
These are possible modes which you can use to enter different places (for advanced people only):
Home + Power = Recovery Mode (whether stock or CWM)
Home + Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (normal)
Home + Volume Up + Power = ARMv9 Dump Mode
Home + Volume Down + Volume Up + Power = Download Mode (EMERGENCY)
Q2.5: What is ClockworkMod Recovery? How do I use it?
A2.5: ClockworkMod Recovery is one of the best custom recoveries out there and was made by the AWESOME koush
Here's how you use it by devilcode:
devilcode said:
There you go.... not from v4.0.0.9 but its of a old version but will give you and idea or to anyone else .. will not post a link to some other site so just posting the explaination here
Options explained
1. reboot system now
This one is self-explanatory.
Reboots the phone.
2. apply update from sdcard
This can be used for installation of any official or unofficial update, ROM, kernel, theme etc. that is in a zip format installable from recovery, as long as the file is named update.zip and it has been placed on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any sub-folder). Selecting this option (and most of the options featured below) will bring up a rather annoying confirmation prompt but this has saved us on multiple occasions from a lot of trouble we would have been into due to accidental key presses.
3. wipe data/factory reset
This option wipes all user data on the device as well as cache. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have set up.
4. wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
5. install zip from sdcard
This option brings up the following sub-menu:
A. apply /sdcard/update.zip
This one is essentially the same as the ‘apply update from sdcard’ option of the main menu.
B. choose zip from sdcard
Lets you install any zip file (with any name) from any location on your SD card. The file can be for a ROM, a kernel, an application, a theme or any mod as long as it is in recovery-flashable zip format. This is the most widely used option for installing a ROM that you have downloaded and copied to your SD card. Entering this option will bring up a screen that will allow you to browse your SD card for the zip file and select it for installation
C. toggle signature verification
Turns the signature verification on and off. When signature verification is on, you will not be able to install any custom ROMs that haven’t been signed by the developers (most custom ROMs aren’t signed). Switching it off skips the signature verification check and proceeds with the installation.
D. toggle script asserts
Seldom-used option for a vast majority of users. It simply turns script asserts on or off. If you don’t know about these (i don’t), it’s best not to change this option. (For advanced users ONLY)
E. +++++Go Back+++++
Takes you back to the main recovery menu, obviously!
6. backup and restore
Undoubtedly one of the most important features provided by a custom recovery, the backup and restore feature – also known as Nandroid backup – allows you to take a backup of your phone’s entire internal memory including all partitions, and save it on the SD card.
A. Backup
Takes a Nandroid backup, as explained above.
B. Restore
Lets you restore a previously taken backup. Entering this option presents you with a list of existing backups from the SD card that you can choose from for restoration.
C. Advanced Restore
This option is similar to the Restore option but once a backup has been selected to be restored, this option allows you to choose what parts of it to restore. You can choose to restore the boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext partitions.
7. mounts and storage
Allows you to perform maintenance tasks on all the internal and external partitions of your android device.
A. mount/unmount /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard or /sd-ext
These options let you toggle between mounting or unmounting these respective partitions. Most Galaxy Ace users need to mount /system and /data for ROM installations
B. format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext
These let you directly format any of these partitions. Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device.
What's lucky is that Galaxy Ace users don't have the option to format the boot partitions.
C. mount USB storage
Lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.
8. advanced
This section contains a few options most users will not require, though these can come handy quite often, especially wiping Dalvik cache, which is required before most ROM installations. Here are the options from this section:
A. Reboot Recovery
Lets you directly and very conveniently reboot from recovery right back into recovery. This is a useful option for certain back-to-back installations that require the device to at least boot once between them OR installing another version of CWM (like v5.2.0.6).
B. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
C. Wipe Battery Stats
Wipes the saved battery usage statistics and effectively recalibrates the battery. Useful in various scenarios when Android isn’t showing correct battery levels.
*This style of wiping battery stats is no longer useful*
D. Report Error
In case of errors, this feature can be used to save a log of recent ClockworkMod recovery operations on the SD card that you can later report from Android using ROM Manager.
E. Key Test
Lets you press any of the hardware keys to see if they are properly functioning, and to see their key codes.
F. Partition SD Card
This option gives you a no-frills way to partition your SD card properly for use with ROMs that supports a2sd (a hack that moves entire applications to the SDcard). Once this option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the /sd-ext partition as well as an optional /swap partition on the SD card, and will then automatically format it for you, leaving the remaining space for normal SD card usage. This option will wipe all data from your SD card so use it with caution!
G. Fix Permissions
Fixes the file permissions for the internal memory partitions back to default. This is very useful as a fix for several errors and Force-Closes that start appearing after you or an application you installed and provided root access end up messing up the permissions of important files.
Hope it helps :d

Q3: Help me, my phone is in a bootloop and won't go into the Launcher!
A3: Firstly , define your bootloop:
If you are stuck at the "Galaxy Ace" logo , that means you did not make a factory reset and cache wipe from Recovery Mode . Do that , then reflash and try again .
If it still does not work , your kernel might have a problem because you did not install your kernel properly .
For that I recommend CF-ROOT for Gingerbread and Froyo
However , if your phone is stuck at the bootanimation:
Stuck for more than 10mins and is repeating the animation: You did not flash your ROM properly . Refer to above .
Stuck for less than 10mins and is NOT repeating: I suggest you have some patience
Q4: AHHHHHHHH! I flashed a theme but now my phone is going into force closes and bootloops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A4: You probably flashed a theme that was meant for another firmware version (E.g. flashing a KPH theme into KPO) .
In that case , all you have to do is flash another theme which is for that particular firmware and you're saved
Everytime I flash a theme I will make a backup prior to installing . This ensures that I can restore back if I did something wrong
Q5: Is there any overclock for the Galaxy Ace?
A5: With CF-ROOT 3.7 b83 I can achieve 100% stability with 902Mhz but 10% decrease in battery life :/
Q6: What about Adobe Flash support?
A6: It is only PARTIALLY supported on CyanogenMod 7 , but may work on stock Samsung ROMs if on Cf-root .
It works on the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD , but does not work on Opera .
Q7: What is Cyanogenmod? Why do so much people love it?
A7: Cyanogenmod is a ROM built from a modified generic AOSP build , which offers faster speed , better stability and even eliminates some problems induced by stock ROMs (i.e. In our case , the Sleep of Death a.k.a SoD) .
This ROM was made by none other than the legendary Cyanogen .
This makes the phone fast , stable and yet problem-free .
however , CM7 for the Ace is currently unofficial and in early release candidate and beta versions and is NOT recommended for newbies as they might encounter into problems they might not know how to solve .
Also , the things that were added by Samsung WILL NOT APPEAR in Cyamogenmod 7 .
If you rely on Samsung's additions too much , I suggest that you revert back to stock
Q8: Oh no! My phone is bricked! I accidentally flashed the wrong device in ROM Manager!
A8: Oh no . You might wanna try either:
Method 1:
-Remove the SIM card , SD card and battery from the phone
-Hold Volume Down + Home + Power
-(Optional) Bring it near a heat source .
-While still holding those buttons , place the battery into the phone
-It should go into Download Mode .
-Try to flash a full package file via ODIN and your phone should come back to life .
If that doesn't work , try Method 2:
-Bring the phone to a nearby service center for repair .
Q9: Hello, what's the difference between a full package ROM and a one package ROM?
A9: When you download a ROM from SamMobile , they have all the files in a .rar , the contents of the .rar determine its Package:
A Full Package ROM has quite a few files when the .rar is opened , one of them being a .tar.md5 if I remember correctly .
A One Package ROM only has one .tar file when the .rar archive is opened .

I figured I would post this fix here in case anyone else ran into this problem. This is assuming you did not change the folder names and let Clockworkmod create them. I haven't had it happen until today, but it's not a nice message to see when you are trying to do a restore.
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
To fix this problem use the code below. Substitute the final folder name for the backup you need to fix.
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[I]backupname[/I]
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
When that finishes, re-run the restore and everything should be fine.
NOTE: As rpearl stated, there could be something really wrong with your nandroid, so use this tutorial as a learning experience and not a fix-all. In my case, everything was fine after restoring. However, that may not always be the case. Do this with caution.

A11: Just flash back to DXKC1 (Froyo 2.2.1) or the Gingerbread version for your region , you're bound to fool Samsung
Q12: I have been hearing everyone talk about this file named build.prop. What is that?
A12: Okay, build.prop is the build properties of your current ROM.
I will give more explanation of the different entries as time goes on (LOL).
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse - (0/1) Variable Values.
0: Allows the network power collapse, thus wasting battery
1: Disables the network power collapse, thus saving battery.
ro.ril.hsxpa - (0/1/2/3)Variable values.
0: Disables HSUPA completely.
1: Disables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
2: Enables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
3: Enables uncapped HSUPA speeds
Q13: What is CF-ROOT? Is it edible?
A13: LOL no it isn't! CF-ROOT is short for Chainfire-Root (a.k.a Rooting + some tweaks). It has root and installs 3 apps: CWM Manager, Superuser and Tweaks.
CWM Manager is a substitute for ROM Manager and allows:
- Rebooting to recovery
- Backing up using app
- Restore using app
- Deleting backups
- Flashing .zip files
- Flashing zImage kernels (a.k.a CF-ROOT fixes)
The current version is b84, which is only for XWKT5/7 firmwares.
You can use b83, which is the universal CF-ROOT.
Q14: I keep running out of internal memory. Why does this happen? How do I solve it then?
A14: It is because the Galaxy Ace's internal memory is only less than 200MB, therefore too many apps will cause the phone to run out of memory. There are 3 known solutions to that:
1: DarkTremor's Apps2SD (DTA2SD)
- Most commonly used way of moving apps to internal memory
- Has an app for it at the Android Market (A2SDGUI)
- Uses a flashable zip (find it in XDA)
- Easiest to use among the 3
2: link2SD
- Makes use of symbolic links to move apps to the SD-ext partition
- I don't know much about this one
3: S2E (simple2ext)
- An app that's available in the Android Market
- Only for CM7 ROMs and the only one working for Ice Cream Sandwich (by maclaw)
- Hardest to use among the 3
That is all.
Q?: This thread seems inactive! When will you update it?
A?: I will update my thread whenever I want to , once I find new information .
Thank you for reading this thread so that one less Galaxy Ace gets bricked

EmoBoiix3 said:
This serves as a warning to all the new users in the XDA forums .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
However , it doesn't support Galaxy Ace yet .
You can probably use CWM Manager instead , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery , on the other hand , supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
REMEMBER THIS , DO NOT INSTALL/DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER . Use Clockworkmod Recovery for Backups , Restoring , Flashing .zip or whatever the Recovery can do .
IF YOU TRY TO INSTALL ANYTHING USING ROM MANAGER YOU MIGHT NEED TO BRING YOUR PHONE AND WARRANTY CARD TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER .

Bugs
1. The GT I9192 users will not be able to see, in which sim they had received the calls in the call logs menu. To solve this problem, use "Zero Dialer" app from the playstore, it'll show you the sim numbers of the calls received.
2. Apps which has the drop down menu option will force closes whenever you press it. (mostly the payment apps only. The solution to this is you can use browser (instead of the app) for that :laugh::laugh::laugh
3. For GT I9192 users, system ui fc occurs if you make calls with the Heads Up option enabled. So don't use that

Hello there. my phone never had kitkat officially so i am using s6&N5 port(which is 4.4).
do i still have to download I9190XXUCOC1_SER.zip? or can i directly flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip.
because i heard kitkat update bootloader and i do not want my bootloader to be updated as i may want to go for jelly bean.
btw i updated s6 port(kitkat) from NEW S6 n N5 Project thread from jellybean. and worked fine.
okay i flashed it over s6 port(4.4.4). but i got random restarts. then i went in twrp recovery and wiped everything and freshed install only flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip file. still crashed. i guess i have to follow your instruction but as i said i cant install kitkat stock firmware as it may update the bootloader.

Informations:
I have managed to add support for Infinix HOT 2 to the DualBootPatcher App and have compiled a test apk.
It's awesome and useful for testing out roms or if you want, switching ROMS.
Disclaimer:
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
1. A Custom Recovery (TWRP or PhilZ Touch)
2. A ROM
3. The Dualboot Patcher - in the download section.
What does the app do ?
It patches...
Custom kernels for dual boot support
ROMs so that they can be installed as secondary
Google Apps packages for AOSP-based ROMs
SuperSU so that it can be used in the secondary ROM
NOTE: If you want to dualboot a Stock ROM, I highly recommend installing Stock as the primary ROM. Otherwise, any mods will need to be patched before flashing.
What's supported ?
Except Toaster and Alarm clocks pretty much everything is supported.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to use the App ?
Before you start using the app, take note of these:
- Some ROMs will fail to install in the in-app zip installer. Unlike TWRP, all errors (even smallest ones) in the updater-script causes the installation to fail. You can either use a working updater-script from another rom or flash the patched zip in TWRP.
- Some roms like Infinix 5.1 make External Storage the default disk. That also removes the writing access to the Internal storage. So, any attempt to install a secondary ROM to /data/media will likely fail. The solution is to remove your external storage (SD Card), install the rom and put it back (unless you want to install to the external storage itself).
- Leaks happen if you use xposed in some roms.
NOTE: IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE APP BEFORE JULY 28, 2016; PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD IT IN DOWNLOADS SECTION. IT IS A NEW VERSION WITH MORE SUPPORT AND FIXES.
NOTE 2: Before you start, it's important to change ro.product.device value to d5110_infinix in your build.prop, if you don't do this, you'll face errors. But if errors still happen, then flash it in TWRP.
If you have an Android 5.1 ROM as primary (the one you're currently using):
1) Download, install and open the app
2) Swipe to the right to open the menu. Click "ROMS". Now if this is the first time you use it, it will ask you if you want to set kernel. Do so!
3) Now swipe again and click on "Patch Zip". Click the big pink add (+) button and select the ROM you want to patch and use as Dual/Multiboot.
3) Select either "Infinix HOT 2/Infinix ROM" or "Infinix HOT 2/Android One" in the first drop down menu (according to the partition scheme you have, Infinix ROM partition have system on block 18; Android One have it on block 23). Then select the partition configuration (see more details below for this) in the next drop down menu. I suggest you choose either "Data slot" or "Extsd slot". Give a random number where it states "Enter an ID".
4) Click continue and select where to save the patched file.
5) You should see the file is being put in "Queue". Just click the confirm button to the upper right.
Note: If you want to go back, just swipe the ROM in queue to right and start over.
6) The app will patch the zip. When done, go back to "ROMs".
7) Click "Flash zip files" (the big pink button on the lower right). Click the pink plus button to add your previously patched zip file.
8) Locate the file you have patched in step 6. Unless you have changed the name there, it should be something like ROM_name_partition_config_ID.zip (like Cyanogenmod-12.1_20160724_d5110_infinix_data-slot-2.zip).
9) Click on that file and choose "Keep location". Now confirm the flash with the button on the upper right side.
Note: You can also install the patched zip files in recovery. But I didn't test that.
10) Upon finition, click back and you should see your newly installed ROM along with the Primary ROM.
Note: You can find more options by clicking on the three buttons on each ROM.
If you have Android 6.0 as primary (your current rom):
1) Download the apk file in downloads section
2) Follow steps above to patch the zip. Make sure you set kernel when the app asks you to. It is important to do that. You can manually set it by clicking on the three dots on the primary rom, scroll down and choose "set kernel".
3) Now when you finished patching it. Don't flash it in the in-app flasher.
4) Boot to TWRP recovery (TWRP 3.0.2 recommended). Don't wipe anything. Just click install zip and chose the patched zip. Wait till the end.
5) Now after the installation. Just reboot and install the apk file on the newly installed ROM and you can switch roms.
Warning: If you don't flash in TWRP while using Android 6.0, you can't switch newly installed roms!!!
Partitions Configurations:
These are places where you can install secondary roms. In our case, I'm affraid it's limited to DATA SLOTS and EXTSD SLOTS. Which means you can only install roms to your Data partition (pratically your internal storage) and your SD Card.
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs. This one installs to the System partition slot.
Dual: Dual/Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage. Our HOT 2 system partition size is about 2.5GB on Infinix ROM. You can probably install two light ROMs (like cyanogenmod and its variants) to it. But I haven't tested it.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition. Our HOT 2's cache partition is about 250MB which is not enough to install a rom on.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: Same as the above, but it installs the ROMs to your external SD. Make sure you have backed up your data first!
How to boot to another ROM ?
This is simple ... There is no reboot to primary, secondary or whatever. So all you have to do is:
1) Go to ROMs section of the App.
2) Click on the ROM you want to boot to. You should see "Switching ROM" message. After few seconds, you should see a report message saying that "ROM successfully switched".
3) Now just do a normal reboot of your device. See the magic! It should boot to the ROM you have switched on step 2.
Note: You can find more options by selecting the three buttons on each ROMs (like creating reboot widgets for directly rebooting to specific rom).
You also need to install the App to all of the ROMs you install. Otherwise, you want be able to boot to other ROMs!
Apps and Data sharing:
DualBootPatcher very recently got support for sharing apps and their data across ROMs. Maybe sharing is somewhat of a misleading term. The feature actually makes Android load the shared apps and data from a centralized location, /data/multiboot/_appsharing. So you're not sharing apps from one ROM to another per se. The ROMs are just loading the apps from one shared location. Let me make this clearer with an analogy.
Think of the people in a company office as ROMs. You want to share with your coworkers some documents (apps). Instead of telling them to come over to your desk to see those documents (sharing apps from one ROM to another), everyone goes to the conference room to look at the documents together (loading apps from a shared location). That's how app and data sharing is implemented.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To use app sharing, follow these steps in every ROM that you want to use app sharing:
Install the app you want to share
Open DualBootPatcher and go to "App Sharing" in the navigation drawer
Enable individual app sharing
Tap "Manage shared applications" and enable APK/data sharing for the app
Reboot
When you uninstall an app that's shared, it simply become unshared for the current ROM. That way, other ROMs are not affected. To continue the analogy above, if you quit your job, you won't shred the documents that everybody else was looking at.
If you unshare an app's data, it will go back to using the data it had before it was shared. In other words, you leave the conference room and go back to work on your own documents at your desk.

Click to collapse
Other how to ?
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it
Downloads:
Download the apk file: DualBootPatcher_X510.apk (6.8MB)
WARNING: Do not use other builds other than this apk file. Official releases don't have Hot 2 support yet! I'm waiting for @chenxiaolong to add support for our device to the main repo so that it will be officially supported.

I have fixed that issue in this new version.
Please take time to read the whole OP if you didn't. It is important !!!
Nice App Bro
@Nonta72
I have some questions, please
1- Does the app use the same kernel for all roms? or it flashes the required kernel while switching roms?
2- If I'm using Android one 6.0 as a primary rom, will USB OTG work in the secondary rom?
3- Does the secondary rom read both internal and external storage?
4- can I use already installed apps like whatsapp, facebook.. etc as shared apps? does this change the location of apps and its data?
5- Just want to make sure, flashing universal OTA updates for android one rom (the zips that is made by Joseph GodSlave on facebook group) works it it is patched for primary rom?
6- If I want to try multiboot then unistall it & remove everything back to the original state, how can this be done?
Thanks for your time and this very useful app ^^

Answer: Nope ... It flashes the kernel required by each rom when you switch
2- If I'm using Android one 6.0 as a primary rom, will USB OTG work in the secondary rom?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer: If the secondary rom supports OTG, then yes. Don't forget that only Infinix 5.1 kernel does support it.
3- Does the secondary rom read both internal and external storage?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer: Yes, all ROMs you install as Dual/Multiboot can read both storages
4- can I use already installed apps like whatsapp, facebook.. etc as shared apps? does this change the location of apps and its data?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer: Refer to the App Share section of the OP. And yes, you can share all user Apps data. But you need to install Facebook/Whatsapp or whatever on both (or all roms) to be able to use shared data.
5- Just want to make sure, flashing universal OTA updates for android one rom (the zips that is made by Joseph GodSlave on facebook group) works it it is patched for primary rom?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer: You don't need to patched a primary rom. Just wipe in TWRP and install it, reboot to it, install the dual boot app and patch a secondary or multiboot rom. You can patch it for upgrade, but you shouldn't do that (just to avoid errors).
6- If I want to try multiboot then unistall it & remove everything back to the original state, how can this be done?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer: If you want to remove multiboot, just delete the multiboot folder on where you installed your second rom. If you instaled the second rom on /system parition, then it will be at /system/multiboot. If you installed it on data partition then it will be on /data/multiboot. You need a root explorer for that. You might also need to remove any multiboot folder on your Internal Storage as well as Externa Storage.

Well, if you have Android One as primary. Then I guess you can update it. It might require stock recovery as well.

Go to internal/multiboot/dual and see if there is a boot.img file inside that folder.
UPDATED
Since these issues have been fixed in newer builds but as a s2 hd lte users, we have no option but to use older builds which have many issues. I found a workaround for them. If you are having wifi or other radio related issues, contact the ROM developer. This post can't help you. Flashing latest baseband helped me and could work well for you as well. Lets talk about two of the most common bug that haunts our device
1 Apps auto closing->( only for LMY48G builds,if you have newer builds,just flash gapps and reboot. to check go to about phone-> build number)
This is a webview related bug.
Download latest gapps from opengapps.org.
I prefer aroma installer as smaller packages don't have webview included,which will make the bugs worse.
Flash gapps. Dont forget to select 'android system webview' from the aroma installer.
Download the zip file from the
link
https://mega.nz/#!0d5Tiaja
Decryption key !JAG5Im-T75YN1CKIOiOcyDDaBH2ILD6dzwxw4xnhrBc
Extract "libwebviewchromium.so" and "libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so"
It is taken from stock samsung ROM and only works on armv7 devices.
Copy them to /system/libs using ESfile explorer or any other root explorer.
Overwrite the original file if asked.
give permission (-rw-r-r) to both file
Reboot to recovery
Flash this file "cm12.1 android system webview" from this thread(only for cm12.1, will cause bootloops in Xenon hd and resurrection remix)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/themes-apps/mod-google-android-webview-t3109216
Apps will now no longer auto close in your face without warning
((-> After testing for a month, I concluded that these steps are optional and use only if you want to have google android webview instead of cm12.1's built in 'android system webview'))
2) Now the most important part, random reboots.
This was reported on earlier builds of lollipop by many users.This is mostly caused by minfree that android uses to manage memory. If you navigate to sys/modules/lowmwemorykiller/parameters you can see 4 or 5 files. two of those files have wrong permissions. They are "adj" and "minfree".
If you give them (rw-r-r) permissions, you can adjust minfree values. the stock values are too aggressive and would cause constant reboots, freezes. Download romtoolbox, navigate to task manager, swipe left. you can choose to use any presets. i use 8,12,24,60,70,80 as minfree values.
Dont check "auto apply on boot" because you need to repeat this whole process after a reboot as those two files"adj and minfree" will be replaced from boot.img on boot by kern
Permanent fix: unpack boot.img. Navigate to ramdisc and open init.rc file in notepad. Find the line
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
Change both values to 0644
save and close
Repack boot.img
Put it back inside the zipfile using winrar or use flashify from playstore to update boot.
I found tool to unpack qualcomm boot.img from this website. Full credits to the developer who made this tool.
http://www.droidbeep.com/how-to-unpa...-img-qualcomm/
download ROM toolbox and apply your preferred values
3. Low storage and optimizing apps(configuring ART compiler)
After google updated android runtime from JIT to ART, apps take up huge space and "optimizing app" takes forever. But there is workaround for that too.
1)Open build.prop in any text editor.
2) find these two lines:
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=........(blah blah)
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=...(blah blah)
3) Change both of these lines to
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=speed
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=Verify-none
If these lines doesn't exist, in your build.prop,you have to add them manually
4) save your build.prop file
5) reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache
After this check your storage space, You will have plenty of storage left and optimizing apps should be faster. It works just like old JIT compiler from older android versions.
if this doesn't work for you, you have to edit these same lines from default.prop by unpacking boot.img
I have fixed this issue by editing init.rc inside boot.img, but i dont know if i should post it here or not.

You can try wiping phone efs through odin in order to fix radio issues
1 Download stock jb rom
2 Check "phone efs clear". This is most important.
3 Click pda
4 click start
5 wait for phone to boot up
6 go to settings->software update to check if you are running latest jb build. Soft reboots and radio issues are usually caused by old baseband version.
7 Proceed with usual old way to install lollipop.
This way odin will wipe your efs settings to rebuild from scratch.
still ploblem ??? :? wait how to clear efs

you need Stock jb rom to do this. I also had this issue in e120l, but clearing phone efs fixed radio issues for me. you need odin3v 1.85 and samsung usb drivers.
You can find it alongside " phone bootloader update". Be careful not to select this one by accident.

you get "libWebviechromium .so" file while installing gapps package. Go to opengapps.org and download aroma installer.
there are two files in the archive i uploaded, libwebviwechromium_loader.so and libwebviewplatsupport.so. You need to extract and replace those files in system-> libs after flashing gapps package. The built in webview will cause random apps shutdowns. this file is critical. You need libwebviewchromium_loader to start webview app. your system will not function properly without it.

have you checked debugging option from developer options before doing this? Make sure your data cable is not faulty. please make sure you have a backup of efs partition if you are having network issues with all ROMs. try hellcat and stock based roms for testing to make sure you are not having this issue only on lollipop or kitkat. Also try to wipe boot from recovery menu before flashing.

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check
I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage
Thanks for all your hard work . I just installed this so far so good but I am missing Wi-Fi calling. Is that normal or am I just not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Ok will try that when I get a chance. Thanks again.
Thx for an awesome rom.
Sorry if this question is asked before but couldn't find a solution (checked Verizon thread as well).
I am running Playstore version ROM and everything is working fine except Video Recording.
Photo is fine but when I record a video with included Camera NX, it only plays sound and the screen is either still or black.
I have been taking a needed break. I will update all my s7 roms including this one in the next few days
Nice
That rom can flash for g930p? tks your work!!
@jrkruse
Thanks for all your contributions to this device. I just bought this device and I've been diving through the forums trying to gather as much info on this locked down device.
Could you provide me with just the boot images that don't check the system image and from what model/rom are they from?
Oh and could you provide the partitions locations? The latest roms have an updated Knox that blocks SU from doing it's thing and I have to perform everything via adb (eng boot).
Blank screen
Hello,
I am on your custom rom and the phone was working fine for a day. After I restarted the phone I am not able to see the lockscreen. Its just blank. I do hear the sound of taking a screenshot when I press the buttons and I also can see the " shut down, restart, emg mode" buttons when I hold the power button but no lockscreen. I tried running the recovery boot img but nothing changed.
There is some kind of issue at the locksceen after a restart.
I'm Stuck

I followed the directions up to Step 7.
For the life of me I can not get the AP file to copy to my SD card. Yes I have enough space on it and I can get the ROM copied.
I tried copying the AP file with a file explorer, on my PC, external card reader. Every time I try, it gets to about 95-99% and says "copy failed".
I know it says flashfire only, but is that my only option?

In my case I created a folder named Download in Internal Storage and copied Zip and AP files there. I didn't have trouble coping files there.
From my experience & guess, you may still have old files & settings even though you flashed U-firm files Step 1-2.
Try to access recovery mode and do factory reset and see if this helps. Make sure you backup all important files to External SD because it will factory reset.
So I rooted my phone using Araltd's guide in this forum. I've got a couple of questions about this rom...
1. If I were to flash this rom to my device, would it remove my root access?
2. What's device performance like? After rooting, my device is very slow and buggy. Will this fix that?
3. Will my device still be full of T-Mobile's bloatware?
Thanks!

1. Yes, it will remove Root Access but you can still use ADB to do root stuff like push / pull files.
2. Since it will use stock boot instead of ENG boot, it will fix the lag issue.
3. This is U (universal) firmware so it won't have Tmobile bloat but it will have Samsung bloat/apps. During the install you can also choose de-bloat level too. From my experience BS-Free (2nd one), is both lightweight and stable. If you go with Playstore level (most lightweight, replace Samsung Apps with Google ones), you will have trouble with camera.

Do you know how this rom compares to the QF6 one which seems to be a bit more popular?

The QF6 ROM you mentioned is T-mobile firmware so it will have Tmobile apps. Most of them can be removed from ROM install or disabled after.
Other than that there's no performance difference.
If you want Tmobile like environment with Tmobile update schedule, go with T-mobile one. If you want less carrier apps, go with U-Firmware one.
I will no longer be updating my s7 threads until the time Oreo is released with root method. For now I have worked with @stang5litre to bring my non-root method to his amazing rom. He currently has a nougat release found here http://stang5litre-roms.proboards.com/
I keep getting samsung pay connection error. any fixes? i tried factory reset and reset settings, but the app still doesnt work. do i have to reflash the rom?

If you at any point tried to root it or flashed the modified boot image then you are no longer passing the safteynet checks, my suggestion is to do a clean install and see if it works then try it again making sure you don't root after you are done installing this rom.
