MultiROM gives your device the ability to install and boot multiple Android ROMs, or even other Linux based operating systems alongside each other. It supports many Android devices, all listed in the sidebar on the right.

The primary component of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot.

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

See MultiROM in action in this video.

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.
