DUALBOOTING 2 NeatRom (Stock NeatRom and NeatRom AOSP)...
revisions in blue color...

I decided to create this thread for all NeatRomers who likes to experience both the NeatRoms on your phone...
With this, you will avoid flashing from one NeatRom to another NeatRom...
I got no problems using both NeatRom (the only problem is, I can't decide which one to use)...
So I keep on booting from one NeatRom to another...hahaha...:laugh::laugh::laugh:

So for those who want to try dualbooting but afraid or lazy like me to read all necessary thread...
This step is for you guys...Good luck...

Requirements..
1. AOSP NeatRom...
2. Modified Stock NeatRom...
3. Dorimanx Kernel (I stongly suggest to download branch 8.43v76, only known stable release so far)...
4. Minimum of 3gb space on your internal storage...

Setting up 1st Rom (AOSP NeatRom)...

Setting up 2nd Rom (Stockbase NeatRom)...

Updating 1st Rom (AOSP NeatRom)...No wipe...

Updating 2nd Rom (Stockbase NeatRom)...No wipe...

Collection of MODs...

FAQ's (by me)...
1. Where is the preload folder of AOSP NR?...
- there is no preload folder for Kitkat...
2. How about the preload folder of NR v5.6 (2nd Rom)?
- it is located at /data/sec_data...
3. Can I swap both Rom?
- yes, you may do it in dual-boot option under recovery mode..
4. Why 2GB+ was taken from my internal storage?...
- see /sdcard0/.secondrom (there is an image file used for dualboot).
5. Can I flash other MOD?
~~- AFAIK if the mods has nothing to do with preload and system folder you may proceed. (I hope somebody can give us a help to modify those MOD to be able to flash specially those MOD for NR v5.6)~~
6. How's the battery life?
- So far so good. Again, battery drain / consumption will still depend on the phone user and apps that was installed.
7. Ram will reduce by 50mb (will be use for video driver of Dori I think, please correct me if am wrong guys)...
8. I forgot the other question...

That's all I think

List of things that is not working...

Maybe you will find few items that will not work, like the ff...
1. Light keys control on settings doesn't have effect (but you can use BLN to control it from Stweaks)

Yes Sir Troubadour666, coz I receive to many PM's regarding this...

Majorities (or say all) are your work, ofcourse because of your power in dualbooting...

Hi...just follow my procedure and you will achieve the setup u want...are you sure you want to use v2.6 in 2nd rom?...that's old version...you don't like to use the latest 5.7?

I tried Neatrom 2.5 AOSP and followed the procedure for setting up the 1st rom but it does not boot, goes into a blank screen, didnt reach the step for installing 2nd ROm, does this procedure work with 2.5 AOSP?

As per procedure,

1. Back up back up back up...(I suggest Obackup for backing up and Nandroid Manager for Restoring or Titanium)...Make sure to have a minimum of 3gb on your internal storage...
2. Download and flash compatible CWM for Kitkat...
3. Reboot to Recovery (not boot)...
4. Wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and format (system, cache, data) >>>need to do this to avoid any fc's again and complain blah blah blah...
5. Flash our dear latest NeatRom ASOP and Gapps...

Does Step 5 have to be a dual boot modified ASOP Neatrom or would a normal one work?

Also, is there a procedure to convert normal rom to dual boot rom?

Yes v2.5 will work also...modifiying v2.5 is not required...
Step 1-5 is just a normal procedure of installing a kk rom...

Have you manage installing v2.5 before?
Please check md5sum of rom and gapps before installing...

@marjune23 Thank you so much for guiding me how to dual boot both neat roms. Your methods and prompt PMs were really very helpful in saving my bandwidth and time
@Troubadour666 Thank you so much for your scripts/tools/guides and elaborated posts etc etc.. I was able to learn how to modify update_script and symlink_preload to configure the second rom's config for dual boot.
Next time I will help others in creating the modified second rom (any rom not only neat)

pirate11n11 · Feb 25, 2014

@marjune23 : I have successfully dual booted neat aosp (1st) and neat lite 5.8 (2nd) using dori 8.43v76 kernel. But i see the 2nd rom is very very laggy. i remember neat roms to be very fluidic. Just want to know whether it is because it is installed as 2nd rom?

if so, and if i swap roms will it be faster?

marjune23 · Feb 25, 2014

Weird...my is not laggy...both runs smooth...Try swapping it...
