Dual boot understanding

Hello everyone,
Can anybody explain how dual boot works.
Whether android is booted on top of windows mobile as some upper layer or does it rely on hardware as it is native OS installed. Is there any difference between native android phone and android booted from windows mobile, except missing some functionality?
Thanks
Cheers!

when you use heret to boot android winmo is shut down, then android runs as the native os, this is nessesary as without android being flashed to the devices rom there would be no way to boot it obviously. in theory if android is made stable enough on a device it would be possible to make an android rom for that device

To add some additional information:
You are probably talking about the Gen Y dual boot software.
Gen Y dualboot is nothing more than an application that runs immediately after Windows is booted. So before you get to the dualboot, Windows is actually already booted.
Then, after pressing Android, Windows Mobile launches the Haret, by which Windows Mobile shuts down and the Android Kernel loads up.
So to have it in a schematic view:
-----------------------------------------------------Stay in Windows Mobile
Kernel WM --> WM booted --> DualBoot <
-----------------------------------------------------Launch Android Kernel --> Android booted

Bliss OS Install on Dell Venue 8 (7840)

I've downloaded the ISO for Bliss OS 11.13 (64bit for Intel Atom processor), created a Live USB using Rufus on Win10 and am trying to figure out how to install it to the my Dell Venue 8 7840 (running Android 5.1, unlocked and rooted). But the installer doesn't recognize there's an android tablet connected via usb.
I've ensured that the my Dell Venue 8 7840 (unlocked, rooted running Android 5.1) has both the MTP Dell drivers as well as the ADB drivers in Windows 10 and I can launch a terminal and run typical ADB/Fastboot commands and the device responds.
I've tried using all of the available "Allwinner" usb tools (PhoenixSuit, Phoenix USB Pro and LiveSuit) but none of these will accept the iso file I've downloaded directly from the Bliss OS site. Am I doing something wrong? My tablet isn't supported by CWM/TWRP or any of the major custom ROMS (LineageOS etc) so I can't update passed the current Android 5.1 as Dell no longer manufactures Android tablets.
Please tell me if anyone has been able to successfully install Bliss OS on an Intel Atom based Android tablet
Thanks

any update on this?

Boot into Debian or Arch possible on Smartphone? Universal Image for most Devices?

Hello Community!
I am asking myself it is possibe to direkt boot a debian ARM Port or ARCH Linux ARM Port (maybe from SD Card) on my Smartphone? I saw lots of videos booting a Linux on Top of Android but i would like to "natively" run a OS. Where a Custom ROM typically has drivers for a special type of device i am thinking if a very generel distribution could detect most of the devices hardware...
Any Ideas if this would be possible?

AFAIK it's not possible.

Can you give me a (detailled) hint why you think this would not work?
When reading the informations: https://archlinuxarm.org/about/downloads
The released downloads are designed for the specific systems above; however, our package repositories work with any ARM device compatible with ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7-a, or ARMv8-a AArch64 instructions.

In TWRP i can select Storage - maybe starting from TWRP command line a image start from SD Card would be possible?

You initially said your goal is to completely replace Android by Linux ( ARCH Linux - what is for tablets only ) on a smartphone, IIRC.
Now you say you want to run Linux ( ARCH Linux ) on top of Android. Confused ...

hello! i meant that my smartphone can start the TWRP bootloader and from there the boot process could be (maybe) handed over to an image at the SD card....
thats the idea... ;-)

TWRP is a Custom Recovery means a restricted Android OS ( like Windows RE for Windows machines), not a bootloader ( what is comparable to UEFI / BIOS on Windows machines ).
The Android bootloader starts the recovery mode and the kernel, which then starts the operating system of your smartphone.
