How to Dual Boot Multiple ROMs on Your Android Phone - HTC Inspire 4G

Not sure if anyone has posted this but I ran upon this article on Lifehacker, it states that the Inspire 4G is supported. I haven't tried it but will soon!

Really? I'm actually running it right now, I have no lag and no reboot. I am running lordmods kernel so not sure if that is why I'm not experiencing any of your issues

No ext3 yet so you'd be better off selecting ext2

Uh oh
so after i installed MIUI with the dual boot app, it asked me if I wanted to boot into it. I am now sitting am my boot screen and it's not budging. I pulled the battery out and tried the volume up and power button but it vibrated a few times and gave me a blinking amber light. I am rebooting and sitting at a boot screen again after pulling the battery. I have ext4 recovery installed as well and cant get to hboot and then recovery. What do i do now?

after trying volume down and power, im good.
Been awhile since I last had to do this
so, what's the deal with the boot issue I had with this app.. Anyone else?

Did you install using ext2? Also did you let it sit long enough? When I first installed a rom, it took around 7 minutes on the white htc screen and then it booted. Its using your sdcard so your first boot is way longer than usual

Interesting maybe illvfinallyvtry miui, specially since ibjust picked up a 16 class 4 for 20 bucks muahaha O.O

Yes there is. Go to install ROM and click on the kernel then click install kernel and install the kernel on the ROM you want

Oh yes. This is awesome, had no idea it was even possible.

How long is it taking on your first boot? I've left my phone for 15 min and it never left the htc screen, you?

Download cm 7 and pull it from the system /app folder. There may be two in the zip if they do it like the flashlight /flashlight plugin combo most use.

Works just fine on my rom/kernel. There's some code that has to be added to the kernel to enable the insanely bright torch mode, so if the kernel supports it, it will work fine. Even if the kernel don't support torch mode, the apk will still work as a flashlight app, you it just have to change permissions to rw/r/r when you put the apk in /system/app.

Dirty Pirate. (I know the Torch app is free-distribution, but having Applanet on your phone says it all.)
Yes

I am on the latest MIUI 1.4.22b7v4 and had CM7 on my sd card. Using root explorer I extracted it and grabbed the Torch.apk from CM7 and put it in System/App and changed the premissions and it works like a charm.Thanks for this thread,its a small thing but man I have been missing the super bright!
Here is the Torch.apk from CM7 if it helps anyone...Dont forget to change the permissions and you have to be on a Gingerbread ROM.
Appreciate that bro

You've flashed AngelDeath's GPS fix (in my sig)? It's pretty much a universal fix across all ROMs and seems to work for almost everyone.

DHD has the same screen resolution so there shouldnt be a resizing issue.

Thanks for the clarifacation,i thought that the dhd had a bigger screen then ours,and in result of that i was under the impression that it might need to be re-sized!!

Yea. I think the big issue is the kernel. I know I've tried to flash LC's sense kernels before with no luck. His aosp ones work fine. It's a crappy time for us since we have no kernel devs anymore.

yeah, that was my original problem.. one of the reasons i gave up even asking the dev to port this...
if we had a Sense ICS Kernel i would've kept bugging him till he gave in
Yeah it's a no go..without a proper kernel it won't even boot, and I don't have the slightest idea how to compile one yet..sorry peeps..but im not gonna give up on this just yet..just got alot of reading to do

Cyanogenmod won't release cm9 until everything is fully functional. Until HTC releases the kernel source, no cm9.

It's not too hard to find. The dev's name is attn1, and the tool's name is aahk. Just Google the two terms together.
EDIT: Gizmoe beat me to it.
I recommend just flashing a stock RUU from HTC. It'll just replace everything to stock (in the process losing everything on your phone, just like factory reset).
