Ho yeah!!! I finally made it! A kernel similar to Siyah kernel! You can use this on AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs or stock Sammy 4.1.2 ROMs, it will work in both! Plus, using a similar dual booting method like what fuss132 did, you can now dual boot stock+stock, AOSP+AOSP or stock+AOSP!

Dual Booting

This feature requires extra attention, so please read carefully!

  1. Decide which ROM you want to place as secondary ROM. The most suitable ROM would be the one that has less updates and stable. Keep in mind that currently all secondary ROMs will start off clean, means ALL DATA WILL BE CLEARED, and /data is 1GB in size.

    Now, decide between step 2 or 3:
  2. If you decide to keep using the current ROM you are running as primary ROM, please make a FULL BACKUP now and skip to step 4.
  3. If you decide to use the current ROM as secondary and do not mind about data loss, please flash the latest kernel zip package now and skip to step 5.
  4. Since you decide to use another ROM as secondary ROM, AFTER making a backup, flash the other ROM. Then, flash the latest kernel zip package and proceed to step 5.
  5. Now, reboot the phone and install the control app & Terminal Emulator. You will see this: Alt image
  6. Hit the Deploy Files button, then the Dual Boot Setup button and wait for the process to finish.
  7. The default ROM now is your phone ROM (primary ROM). To boot into SD ROM (secondary ROM) or from SD ROM to phone ROM, hit the Switch ROM button. (Will show current ROM in the future)
  8. You can now reboot by hitting the Reboot button. If you want to restore your primary ROM, you can do it now. But remember to flash the kernel zip package again OR if you want to use another ROM as primary, flash that ROM and kernel zip.
  9. Booting time may take longer as you are dual booting and dalvik-cache is building up.
  10. Repeat all the steps above every time you wanna change new ROMs (means new zip packages).

NOTE: MTP, USB mass storage or ADB and GPS does not work on secondary ROM
