Probably you may have heard about MultiROM. It is the easiest way to install more than a ROM on Android phones. Unfortunately it isn’t available for Note 4, but this is not a problem. Developers always try to find solutions and this time I have found a smart guide to dual boot ROMs on Galaxy Note 4.
At the XDA a developer named as aukhan created a tutorial to help all Galaxy Note 4 users to boot more than a ROM on their devices. In the guide below is explained how to install CyanogenMod 12 ROM besides the Stock TouchWiz ROM that is already installed on Note 4.

Great guide. Using my T-Mobile note 4, and the recovery freezes every time I flash the patched zip files. The linux molecule’s editor wrote a similar guide and I also took the advice of changing the build prop to solve this problem, but it still did not work. Is this happening to the T-Mobile variants?
What Recovery are you using?
Nice! Thanks mate it worked for me on 910g, I’ve been searching for months for a multirom port or alternative for the note 4 , its the thing I missed most of my nexus 5 r.I.p. used dirty unicorns ROM as primary, then patched and flashed simplrom , both boot and run as normal, just one question, allot of different ROMs on the note 4 require certain bootloaders and modems flashed with Odin, is that still possible, or is there another method , can I patch the modem zip file like u did with gapps ?
NOT WORKING.
Rooted galaxy note 4 sm-n910f 5.0.1 with TWRP recovery
TWRP will not flash anything I’ve treid. Downloaded 6 of the newest cyanogenmod roms
The error is e. error executing updater binary in zip
Second, Dual Boot will not recognize and therefore not finish patching roms patched with newer versions of dual boot patch. I had to go all the way back to an april version.
Help please
Will this work for the SM-N910C variant?
Well, I have not tested it by myself but it should work.
Okay, thank you very much, Dori 😀 I’m glad to hear it 😀
