This wiki will one day replace the official forum instructions on XDA, with cleaner and community editable guides.

MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod that can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems such as Ubuntu Touch, Linux, and WebOS. The main component of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. See MultiROM in action in this YouTube video.

For more information, read the Introduction. After reading that, check the sidebar to start installing MultiROM, check the sidebar. The sidebar also contains developer documentation, for modders and porters.


Features

  • Multiboot as many Android ROMs as you want
  • Restore custom recovery backups as secondary ROMs
  • Dual-boot alternative operating systems (Ubuntu Touch, Firefox OS, Arch Linux) alongside Android, without formatting your device
  • Install and boot from USB drives connected by OTG cables (on supported devices)

WARNING

This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. While MultiROM no longer messes with the data partition or boot sector, it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again.

Make backups. Always.
