MultiRom Mod For Moto G 2014

Hello Guys... Sorry For the lost posts nowadays because of my exams....

Today I am posting Multirom Mod Which is In short Multiple rom booting for android... Its ported By the great Luk1337 , so thanks to him.Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot.ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. 


Features:

* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
* Boot from USB drive attached via OTG cable


Requirements:

MultiRom Zip

Modded TWRP for Multirom

Modded kernel for - CM12 , CM11

Installation:
1.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.

Note 1: Your device must not be encrypted (hint: if you don't know what it is, then it is not encrypted).

MultiROM has 3 parts you need to install:
  • MultiROM (multirom-YYYYMMDD-vXX-titan.zip) - download the ZIP file from above and flash it in recovery. 
  • Modified recovery (TWRP_multirom_titan_YYYYMMDD.img) - download the IMG file from second post and use fastboot or Flashify app to flash it. 
  • Patched kernel - You can use either one of the stock ones or third-party kernels which include the patch, you can see them above. Download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
You current rom will not be erased by the installation.
Adding ROMs
Go to recovery, select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. As for the space, clean installation of stock 4.2 after first boot (with dalvik cache generated and connected to google account) takes 676mb of space.
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 (ext2,3, 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 easily changed afterward, so choose carefully. FAT32 is limited to maximum of 4095MB per image - it is limitation of the filesystem.
Installation to USB drives takes a bit longer, because the flash drive is (usually) slower and it needs to create the images.
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 Advanced -> 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 Advanced -> MultiROM -> List ROMs and select the ROM you want to update.
  • Select "Flash ZIP" and flash ROM's ZIP file.
 If you follow all steps carefully, You will easily able to multiboot your Moto G 2014... All multibooted Roms work Fine as I have tested upto 3 Roms....
