Repartition guide for
The GT-i9100​
Introduction:​
This script came a long way before landing here. It originally came from @forumber2 with his guide for the GT-i9300. It then went on to the Note 2 by @ninekaw9 and @smeet.somaiya before I decided to port it over to this lovely device.

Click to collapse
What does the script do?
It basically removes the partitions present from your device and creates partitions with modified sizes.
TLDR: A flashable .pit file

Features​
Adds more space for more apps.
Reduced cache partition for even more space for apps.
No need for a computer, fully flashable in CWM.
How To Install?​WARNING: From this point onwards, this guide requires your fullest attention so that it will not brick your device. I tested this on my own i9100, and it is working perfectly.
Links will be provided at the end of the post.
This will wipe everything from your device! Please make a backup before proceeding. Don't say I didn't warn you.
There are two methods to flashing this script. Both works perfectly fine.
Method 1 If you're using 1.1 and above, steps 6-9 are not needed!
Download the two recoveries provided in the Download post below.
Reboot into recovery (CWM or TWRP needed)
Flash philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100.zip and reboot into recovery.
Flash the repartition-apps<xxx>-data<xxx>.zip (Note: It will hang at rebooting to recovery in 5 seconds. Just take out the battery and boot it to recovery.)
Flash kk-kernel-05-01-TWRP.zip and reboot into recovery.
Click on Wipe, then Advanced Wipe.
Tick Internal Data, then click on Repair or Change File System.
Click on Change File System, click on EXT4, then swipe to confirm.
Click on Change File System again, click on exFAT, then swipe to confirm.
Go back to Advanced Wipe, tick on
Dalvik Cache
Cache
System
Data
emmc
Then swipe to wipe the 5 partitions.
Next, click on Install and install your preferred ROM.
Reboot and enjoy!
Method 2 If you're using 1.1 and above, steps 5-8 are not needed!
Download TWRP and the "parted" file from the bottom of the post.
Using a root browser (Root Browser recommended), place the parted file you have downloaded into /system/bin and set its permissions to "RWXR-XR-X".
Reboot into recovery and flash kk-kernel-05-01-TWRP.zip and reboot into recovery.
Flash the repartition-apps<xxx>-data<xxx>.zip
Click on Wipe, then Advanced Wipe.
Tick Internal Data, then click on Repair or Change File System.
Click on Change File System, click on EXT4, then swipe to confirm.
Click on Change File System again, click on exFAT, then swipe to confirm.
Go back to Advanced Wipe, tick on
Dalvik Cache
Cache
System
Data
emmc
Then swipe to wipe the 5 partitions.
Next, click on Install and install your preferred ROM.
Reboot and enjoy!

Notes, Warnings and some Random Stuff (MUST READ)​
Do you need a zip file with a custom partition size? Post a feature request and I'll attend to it ASAP!
I will be updating this thread (probably) weekly, but I will provide support through my mobile device.
DO NOT use this on stock ROMs. You will brick your device.
Follow the guide CAREFULLY. Please.

Hey there,
First response it seems. I'll have to try this later as I haven't had to repartition my S2 and it sounds a lot quicker than using say ODIN for the job. Anyone had any issues yet?

Yeah, it's would be great to have a zip-file for coming back to stock partition also!
Thanks.

You'll have to do that using a .pit file. I think it's required to flash stock ROMs.

Mirrors up. Mirrors for beta build will be provided at a later date.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but what happens to the space between 12.4 GB and 15.2 GB? In the original partitioning there is 1.94+11.5 = 13.44 GB of space, while this setup has only 4.48+6.33 = 10.81 GB. Thank you for you time.

Must be another typo I did while writing the script on my phone. Will correct it when I have the time.

Stock or Samy Based ROM *Custom Partitions*
@Irwenzhao is it possible to flash stock ROM or OMEGA v61 etc on the customized partitions ???

Stock ROM NO. Third Party Touchwiz ROM is a yes.

when I perform the last step for the 5 options on advanced wipe, I get wipe failed. What does that mean?

[13 Feb][DL DesireHD ARA][DL Data2SD/Ext4 v3.0][1.84.661][Nand/SD/MAGLAR all in one]

Hi all, I have managed to merge the code and develop a new function to upgrade all the build using one update package in the future.
Thus, I intend to merge all the Nand version into this thread
All the SD&MAGLDR version into this thread, which will also easy for me to take care of the builds. thanks.
Let a figure come to speak first

Uploaded by viperd using DL Desire Z v3.5, DL Data2SD/Ext4 v3.0
Since the DL Desire ARA v1.1 was disclosed in this thread, in order not to cause more confusion, have to release it before my plan.
v2.0 is based on Desire HD 1.72, and themed similar to Coredroid.
v1.0 is based on Desire HD 1.84, pure stock version, and actually, the base is much newer and advance than v2.0
Btw, my focus is still on desire z, if you want prompt support or have problem with this build, suggest you try rafpigna or markinus or imilka's, they are all excellent dhd builds.
If you have problem, please post to my test place or ask my testers, I may not be able to visit this thread frequently.
to my testers, I don't mind you disclose my test place to others as long as they are kind enough.

Features:
All my new builds have the following features:
1. All in one package, can be flashed to Nand or boot from SD or Load from Magldr.
2. All the build is squashed, once set the swap_mode=2, can delete the squashed.sqsh file from /system to release 160M space from system, but you must keep the swap_mode=2 untouched.
3. All the build can use Update_DL to update or change anything you want.
4. Equipped with DL Data2SD/Ext4 v3.0 developed by myself and freak, with following features:
-- auto detect and make use of your 2nd and 3rd partitions with high performance
-- auto convert the system.img to system.ext2 for SD/MAGLDR
-- auto partitioning your SD Card once set the format_ext4=9 (need test).
-- format 2nd partition with proper block size of ext4 with format_ext4=1, which is used for data partition
-- change ppp/rmnet with ppp_mode=0 or 1.
-- set you gps zone with gps_zone="your country code"
-- can use Update_DL to update system incrementally, all the Update_DL plugin I previous published(backup/restore, secue) is still applicable
-- the backup/restore can backup and then restore your whole system including: settings, sms, email, etc, you even can use this to migrate your data.img to ext4(set data_img=1 to use data.img and do the backup, and then set the data_img=0 to use the ext4 and do the restore.)
-- once you encounter the boot loop and FC, you can use the rescue plugin to rescue your system.
-- we are now testing the next version of our Data2SD/Ext4 which is more intelligent, can even detect where the system is loaded from(nand, magldr or sd), and your mobile type(EU modal or Tmous) to choose the best settings automatically.
Actually, many builds in this forum adopt part or full of our initrd to provide the high performance ext4 support.

How to install
For Nand:
just extract the Desire_DL and Update_DL(for upgrade) folder from the package to the root of your SDCard, flash.
change the config.txt.nand to config.txt and modify the config in it.
For SD/MAGLDR:
just extract the Desire_DL and Update_DL(for upgrade) folder from the package to the root of your SDCard, answer yes when ask for overwrite.
change the config.txt.sd to config.txt and modify the config in it. (Nand)
or change the config.txt.magldr to config.txt and modify the config in it. (Magldr)
If you encounter mobile data issue, please check here
The first boot will take a very long time, especially for SD/MAGLDR due to system will convert the system.img to system.ext2, need 10-20 mins depends on the speed of your SDCard.
After the install, please reboot your system at lease twice to let the system settle down.
Suggestion changing the kernel to gpc if you encounter any issue.

How to upgrade or change kernel or customize the system
1. more kernel can be found here,
--a. For Nand, just extract the Update_DL folder to the root of your sdcard, boot twice.
--b. For SD, extract the Update_DL folder to the root of your sdcard, and copy the zImage file from /Update_DL/update/kernel_files to Desire_DL, boot.
--c. You can also use the same kernel package, but replace the kernel file with your own under /Update_DL/update/kernel_files. (for SD/Magldr version, the zImage file should be put under Desire_DL)
2. for system upgrade or bugfix, extract the Update_DL folder from a update package to the root of your sdcard, reboot.
3. if you intend to replace any file from the system, use rootexplorer to delete the target file first, then put the file to /Update_DL/root/system..., e.g, if you want to change the framework.res, just delete the origin file from /system/framework, then, put your own file under /Update_DL/root/system/framework, boot.

upgrade procedure
Hallo, master!
firts of all many thanks for your big and amazing work!
sorry for the stupid question, but if I have installed your DL DesireZ v.3.4, now may just put into the sd root the DL DesireHD Update_DL folder?
and the other folder zipped in (called Desire_DL)??
I'v tested the 1.1 now, and there is stil no mobil-data by me
wifi and all other, I tested runs best.
I started from WinMob in the normal way
what is this??can anyone here tell me??..
Haha, I never think of ppl want so many builds, so unfortunately, you can only run one of my build at one time and rename the other.

I put another mobile data fix in the desire z v3.5 upgrade package under Desire_DL folder, I believe it should be able to solve this issue.

oh... can't be that long, should not more than 15min, maybe you will have to check your SDCard.
or just remove the battery and reload it again.
If still have problem, delete the system.ext2 in the Desire_DL and let system regenerate it.
Are there any major differences between this and DesireZ? Obviously this won't rotate at the homescreen(which I like) but what about other things?
Forget it, I'm gonna try it anyways I'm also trying the new format_ext4=9. I'm using a 2GB SD card, I'm curious to see how well/bad it works. I'm gonna wait about 20 minutes for the boot, if it doesn't finish then I'm rebooting.
Good build but with MAGLDR it is giving me a very bad wake up lag of 5-10 second. Rest everything is fine.

[ROM][SAMMY-ICS 4.0.3]MJ ROM-version 1.3[XWLP7_XENLP3][16.04.2012]

Greetings!
I have decide long enough and here i am, trying to build my own ROM and share with you guys.
I am still new in creating my ROM, yet i wanna challenge myself and try to have fun with it. To be honest, it is harder than i thought with no complete tutorial out there.
I am planning to start things slowly and learning as i go along. Thus, i start with the basic, modifying stock ROM, and de-odex them. Clear all the bloatware or what i think is not necessary.
Please take note this is just a trial. If you are interested, do try out, and let me know how or where i can improve. I am noob, please don't flame me.
Current Release
MJ ROM: Trial Version 1.3 - 16.04.2012
Firmware: I9100XWLP7
CSC: XENLP3
Kernel: current LATEST Siyah Kernel v3.1rc4 (dual boot supported )
Coming Soon:
add in call recording feature
add in toggle bar - Postpone! Seems like Lidroid method will supercede my translucent status bar.will fine other method to make both thing works.
planning to switch launcher, as i am not too fond with Apex (suggestion please)
create my own logo (might take times, still figuring out)
Beats audio, anyone? (some claim it doens't work, does it? )

Bugs:
Not everything is perfect, though i expected a perfect ROM to ease everyone. However, there are some minor bug i encounter. Not a big deal.
- Keyboard not poping up at the initial setup the ownership of the phone
solution: i realise it takes time for the ROM to load up the keyboard (maybe due to language change from netherland to english - united state issue). what i do is, i just press back and forward few time, and the keyboard will initially pop up. don't worry, it just happen the very first time android setup. no more issues after that.
- Messaging app cannot use
solution: i suspect this is Apex Launcher issues. just delete the dock bar Messaging shortcut. Drag and put the new Messaging app from app drawer and you are good to go.

thanks man! btw, is it legal to use theme provide here? can i use the mod they provide here? i scare i violate the rules or whatever copyright thingy.
U can use themes,apps and other mods from developers just ask their permission first and credit them in your op.
About supersu,you need to install(push) binary for it to work. Think it's binary is a xbin file, but not sure ask in chainfire thread.
anyways good luck with your project

thanks for your hints and advise. really appreciate it.
edit: i think i found the reason on why my custom ROM is not rooted. it seems like i am using stock ROM unrooted, that's why it is not rooted. base on my research, i just have to flash the stock ROM, root it, flash kernel and old bootloader. back up, and start cooking afterward. correct me if i am wrong.
anyway, gonna try it tomorrow. used almost full day in trial and error, at least i can flash and run my first trial.

Informations
Hey guys, today i will show DualBootPatcher one of the best apps for multi ROMs (i think this is the unique app for this ).
I have managed to support Samsung Galaxy Prime ( G530x )
I am not the creator, just the supporter
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.
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
What's supported?
Except Toaster and Alarm clocks pretty much everything is supported.
How to use the patcher
Android
Download the patcher apk and run it. Tap "Patch Zip File" from the navigation drawer and choose the file you want to patch.
Windows (GUI)
Double click DualBootPatcher.exe and choose the file you want to patch.
--------
After patching the zip file, a new file, like some_rom_dual.zip file will be created. For example, patching ktoonsez's
KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-TMO-08.28.2013.zip
would create a new
KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-TMO-08.28.2013_dual.zip
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and the DualBootUtilities.zip from the download section below.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
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.
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.
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.
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.
With that said, let's get to the "how to"!
First, boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
Go to "Patch zip file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. You can select one of the installation locations described above.
There are two ways of flashing the patched zip file. You can either flash it normally from recovery or flash it using the in-app flashing feature. Both methods are explained below.
Flashing from recovery
To flash from recovery, just flash the patched zip file like you would for any other zip. Nice and simple.
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.
A normal backup from recovery will backup every ROM. If you would like to back up ROMs individually, please see @rlorange's awesome tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491299
App 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.
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.
(Hope my analogy didn't suck too much )
How do I...?
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.​
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".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!​
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:
I recommend against using the stable version of the patcher right now. So many changes have been made in regards to device support, ROM support, and general bug fixes that it's better to use the unstable snapshot builds until the next stable release is made.

go to ROMs tabs to patch your current kernel with mbtool
then:
prepare your ROM that will be patched
open DualBoot Patcher app
go to Path Zips File
press the "+" icon
and press "Add flashable zip"
allow the permission...
choose the zip file ( rom )
now choose the partition configuration
Code:
Primary rom is the current rom..., use this option to update the rom..
Secondary till multi slot 3 will use system partition
Data slot will eat the internal storage..
Extsd slot will eat the external storage, Sdcard
after that give an ID for your rom
( this will give a dedicated folder for it)
if you give pacman rom with ID "1" , slot 1 will be reserved for pacman, if you want to upgrade it
go back to partition configuration then give the same ID..
patched?
flash it via recovery

Hey there,
I have tried this on my fortunave3g. My primary rom is stock 5.0 TouchWiz and I am trying to install AEX 4.6. But I am facing issues installing it. I followed the instructions given on the apps GitHub page.
Patched the ROM using the app and flashing it from the app, everything okay but stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally". I sat there for 1 hrs but nothing happen. So I closed that and tried installing it with TWRP. From there, it was able to create system.img and other images but it fails to run updater-script.
Have any idea why this happens?

[MOD] MultiROM v33b for OnePlus2

TLDR:
1: MAKE A BACKUP. Seriously.
2: Downloads in second post. Flash recovery, then kernel, then MultiROM.

Introduction
This is a port of Tassadar's MultiROM, a multi-boot mod for OnePlus 2. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
This is still experimental!
Make backups. Seriously. Please.
Features:
* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
* Boot from USB drive attached via USB-C OTG cable
Warning!
It _is_ dangerous. This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. It is no longer messing with data partition or boot sector, but it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again. Make backups. Always.​
Installation
2.Manual installation
Firstly, there are videos on youtube. If you want, just search for "MultiROM installation" on youtube and watch those, big thanks to all who made them. There is also an awesome article on Linux Journal.
MultiROM has 2 parts you need to install:
Modified recovery (TWRP_multirom_oneplus2_YYYYMMDD.img) - download the IMG file from second post and use fastboot to flash it.
MultiROM (multirom-YYYYMMDD-vXX-oneplus2.zip) - download the ZIP file from second post and flash it in recovery.
Your current ROM will not be erased by the installation.​
Adding ROMs
1. Android
Go to recovery, select MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm.​
Using USB drive
During installation, recovery lets you select install location. Plug in the USB drive, wait a while and press "refresh" so that it shows partitions on the USB drive. You just select the location (extX, NTFS and FAT32 partitions are supported) and proceed with the installation.
If you wanna use other than default FAT32 partition, just format it in PC. If you don't know how/don't know where to find out how, you probably should not try installing MultiROM.
If you are installing to NTFS or FAT32 partition, recovery asks you to set image size for all the partitions - this cannot be easilly changed afterward, so choose carefully. FAT32 is limited to maximum of 4095MB per image - it is limitation of the filesystem, I can do nothing about that.
Installation to USB drives takes a bit longer, because the flash drive is (usually) slower and it needs to create the images, so installation of Ubuntu to 4Gb image on my pretty fast USB drive takes about 20 minutes.
Enumerating USB drive can take a while in MultiROM menu, so when you press the "USB" button in MultiROM, wait a while (max. 30-45s) until it searches the USB drive. It does it by itself, no need to press something, just wait.​
Updating/changing ROMs
1. Primary ROM (Internal)
Flash ROM's ZIP file as usual, do factory reset if needed (it won't erase secondary ROMs)
Go to MultiROM in recovery and do Inject curr. boot sector.
2. Secondary Android ROMs
If you want to change the ROM, delete it and add new one. To update ROM, follow these steps:
Go to MultiROM -> List ROMs and select the ROM you want to update.
Select "Flash ZIP" and flash ROM's ZIP file.
Note that swapping roms between internal and external is not supported (yet). Also, after flashing a factory image to the primary system and boot partition, make sure to immediately inject MultiROM before first boot, otherwise the secondary ROMs will be deleted.

Thanks
This port is based on the hard work of Tassadar, 500 Internal Server Error, Geoff Levand, webgeek1234, Mike Kasick, Npjohnson, Hashbang173, and many others. Thank you.
Issues
- None that are known. If you find one that this thread does not know about/hasn't answered (solid rule, read the last three pages of the thread befre reporting an issue), report it in the thread
- IF YOU GET LOCKED OUT OF YOUR DEVICE: Don't worry! Your data is fine. Simply boot to TWRP, choose 'Advanced' ==> 'Terminal Command' ==> type "rm -rf /data/system/gatekeeper.*.key" (without the quotes). This is a dirty fix, and should only be used to recover data, not as a permanent solution! After you recover your data, wipe /data (you don't have to wipe Internal Storage), and re-setup the device.

NOTE:
Third party kernels with kexec-hardboot support (can be flashed to primary ROM): THIS IS NO KEXEC MultiROM, you don't necessarily need kexec hardboot supported kernels
Extra Information
Unlike some of the other 64-bit MultiROM ports, this port does have kexec-hardboot enabled, which is less risky and speeds up boot into secondary ROM. Anyone porting MultiROM to a Snapdragon 810 device may find the source to be useful. The patch was written by @500 Internal Server Error

Method of flashing multirom.
________________
1. Go to TWRP 3.1.0 officially that u already have
2. Flash the multirom image file .. and select recovery when it asks whether u want boot or recovery.
3. When successful go back to maim page and hit reboot recovery
4. Now its multirom
5. Flash the provided multirom zip file. An auto reboot will occur. Hit cancel and go to MISC tab to hit reboot recovery
6. Now the existing rom u had , is primary
7. Go to 3 dot menu of TWRP on upper right corner​.
8. Select add rom
9. Flash desired rom
10. Reboot recovery again when successful
11. Go to 3 dot menu again and select list rom
12. Tap on add zip file and add gapps here... That is whatever u file want to flash on a rom just select that rom from rom list and add zip from there
[when flash a secondary, u have to flash zip, then back, and add zip and flash gapps]
13. Hit reboot system.
14. Now a screen will appear even before boot to.ask which rom u want to flash. For the very first time the option is set to, if u don't select any it will boot to primary after 5 seconds, so u hit cancel on that screen (pop up actually)
15. Select the desired rom , double tap on it and it will boot.
First boot of a new rom takes at least 15 to 20 real life minutes.
Notes:
__
To change the option of count down of rom booting selection, go to settings of multirom twrp and turn off option from there. Now every time u reboot.. it will ask which rom u want to boot. And if u don't select any it will stay on same screen till u click something
Tested so far:
Nougat based ROMs
OOS stock
OOS based ROMs
H2OS
MIUI
FlyME

About CRACK, haven't checked, not sure a patch has been released for LOS11, if it has after the build date, let me know and I'll rebuild it.
I used the this https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/d855/build but replaced d855 in commands with d605 and manually downloaded the sources to the according folders.
@Avamander: I tried to install your LineageOS ROM on top of a CM11 (by Varchain, the v11 release), but I get a "Status 7" error.
The error reports "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
Checked the MD5 of the ZIP file and it is correct, both on my PC and on the SD.
Can you help me with the installation?

Ok, CWM v3 installed and Lineage-v11 installed, too.
The install went OK. Few issues encountered so far:
1. looks like the phone WiFi is configured for US area (thus, only channels 1-11 are working, but not mine, as it was configured on channel 13. I had to use https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982149 to properly fix it. Would be great if the ROM comes with the 1-13 set of channels.
2. Installing TitaniumBackup: install ok, but it did not run, ADB reported "libtitanium.so not found". Looks like the v8.1.0 is not able to extract the ARM library. I had to extract it from the APK (found here https://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/titanium-backup-apk-latest-version-download/download/) and manually push the library with "adb push libtitanium.so /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/"
Couldn't find anywhere else why those errors are caused. Do you have the same behaviour?
btw: thanks for your effort in keeping the D605 alive

I had to extract it from the APK (found here https://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/titanium-backup-apk-latest-version-download/download/) and manually push the library with "adb push libtitanium.so /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/"
Couldn't find anywhere else why those errors are caused. Do you have the same behaviour?
btw: thanks for your effort in keeping the D605 alive

I will investigate the WiFi issue... The TiBu issue, sounds weird, though a lot of old exploits have been patched and some apps might be expecting they exist. Though in my case I could install TiBu without issues from Google Play. I updated the planned task list.

Thank you!
As a side note: CWM v3 is also able to lokify the ROM after flashing Varchain added it "because I am lazy" (cit.)

That means it would still break the signature if I would release a signed image.
Quick update: the offline-charging is not working.
Switching off the phone and connecting the charger will boot up the phone in the default mode, not "only charging".
I know this might be a minor bug but auto brightness doesn't work.

Never has, never will, there's no brightness sensor hardware.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. All in all its mostly stable. :good:
Another thing i noticed is that some system processes crash at random times. And if I have my own wallpaper set if that happens and I reboot the device it resets.

Seen that happen a few times, but without logs of the crash I can't help you.
1. Please remove the space character from the link to md5 for ROM.zip. I think it is easier to place a checksum instead of a link.

Has the file changed on the server, has it been refreshed or something else?

Is there really a reason to clean Internal storage and sdcard?

It's more work to create the file for the recovery to verify it. The space is part of the link.

Nope

Internal storage? If you mean /data, yes, but /sdcard doesn't need to be wiped.
As a sidenote, I've been rebuilding the entire system today, will see if that brings back the WiFi.
