Dual/Multi Boot Possible on Verizon Note 4

I have looked around and haven't seen anyone mention this so I thought I would post about it since I've been using it and thought it was cool. I hope others find this useful.
The thread I'm talking about: http://ift.tt/1NC2ksw

All credit goes to the original developers for this tool.
Thanks to @aukhan, @rlorange, @chenxialong, and other contributors.

Download the first .apk (Dual Boot Patcher). That is the only app that you should need to complete the process. A video guide is posted by @aukhan here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_i3...E&spfreload=10
That is the best walkthrough I've seen.

Basically you patch all of the .zip files that you would have flashed normally and then you flash them to a new ROM slot. If there are more questions that the video doesn't answer I'll be happy to answer them or post a better walkthrough if needed.

It should be noted that to switch back and forth you'll need to install the Dual Boot Patcher apk on both ROMs. This does not affect TWRP Recovery.

I have run this with JasmineROM as the primary and CM13 as the secondary as well as CM13 as primary and JasmineROM as Secondary. I currently have this set-up to try different ROMs without needing to completely wipe my phone and deal with backups/restores. I also use it to use CM13 as my primary while having stock options (S-Pen, Car BT, and other Samsung stuff) available in a quick reboot.
