Wow, never knew it was possible! We can actually use more than one ROM at a time! This is faster and better than NANDroid restores! IT makes a copy of the ROM on your SD card, you can have up to 5!
SO you can simply switch back and forth using it as a normal ROM without having to do backups/wipe between switching!
it creates a partition on the SD card for the ROM(s). booting etc, is as simple is normal etc
Our Device is officially supported! Anyone tried it yet?
Dual Boot is just a great app...only ics rom is not currently supported

Wow was thinking about this, since I am dual booting Windows and Ubuntu on my laptop. But never thought it is implemented for our phones. Thanks for the info!
Have been using it for some time now, works great with CM7 roms, MIUI works good too but never boots back to the main ROM from MIUI, have to always flash the boot image saved by boot manager via recovery to come back. Tried sense roms during the early stages, had problems, but that was version 1, haven't tried sense roms lately.
Have reaper setup on SD, haven't used it though as a daily ROM.
Good way to preview a ROM without actually wiping anything.

Hey man, been using this but I got no luck. Boot takes so long that I have to remove battery (I know, I know, it's bad) just to boot back so I can restore my backup. Contacted dev and says that I have to check force large boot. Is that also your case?

Yes, as of the latter versions, force large boot img has to be ticked, otherwise it gets stuck at HTC logo.

Encountered it a while back in 2011 when envy became an issue (CWM mods natively multiboot on my wife's SE X8). Too many issues with my favorite ROMs (Virtuous & MIUI) made it a no-go for me. Nice to know there's renewed interest in it. Especially from a champ like you. Does that mean we'll see more ROMs with native support for multiboot (had to mod some ROMs on the X8 to make them work)?
Will try soon
i will try this app as soon as i can Looking forward to it! Now i just have to downgrade HBOOT...

IMPORTANT:if your custom rom has su v.3,disable log files in settings ,otherwise you'll run into permission problems,su v.2+ fine.Do the same in any rom you might run off sd.
in "what device do you have" put pyramid
"what is your sdcard block" put mmcblk1p1
"what is you system's size in mb" put 787.4
"what is your data size in mb" 1126
"what is your cache's size in mb" 116.2
these are the same for Z710e as well as the 4g
make the boot manager phone backup,it's an update.zip which you can flash from recovery should things go horribly wrong,have a nandroid backup and a copy of your custom rom on your sdcard(just to be absolutely safe) and keep your battery topped up.
There is a BM forum now
This app works fine with sensation. Running three different roms. My suggestion is to install ROM's with EXT2 not EXT4. had problems with EXT4. Nice job!
I have some problem during edit boot.img..at least do..
Can you say what rom works from sd..??
Can you upload the version of BootManager do you use..??
Anyone using this now, think sensation is fully supported now.
I used it while Testing ICS so i could still use wifi calling on GB Rom(Low service at my home), But since its running of a SD Card even tho i got a Class10 always seemed to be laggy and slow. I have not ran it since the new firmware witch has greatly helped my SD card speeds so it may have gotten better. I own the app so i will test it out again and report back. PS i Do remember that when i did use it almost every day(GB 2.3.4) when i installed rom's not everything would install(SU, WIFI Calling, ect) A restore Backup always seemed to work better for me then a Fresh install from a .zip. But i will test again and report back.
This thing works. But plenty of things that could be fixed (and better instructions).
It's my first paid app and I think it's pretty good (when it works...). Have to find which roms work. I think right now, only nandroid backups work.
It worked fine for me with every GB rom I used. I even tried all (first generation) ICS roms. It's been time that I had 3-4 roms installed to choose. No problems.
I think I cannot use ICS as system rom yet. Did they fix it?

Hello everyone, I tried to use the boot manager, but every rom install in the slot does not start, and I am going bootloop the phone, each time forcing me to install the "update.zip" backup to turn on the phone with the rom of nand. I tried following the guide from their website but nothing, what should I do to make this program?
So I can see this ROM is starting to pick up. I have been running this as of 9/26/11 now and its been really good and stable, smooth and so far everything is working 100%.
So this will be Q & A thanks to the maker of HoneyWonder3D samuel2706
Here is the ROM for this nicely done rom and its themed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272899.
All credit of HoneyWonder3D is samuel2706 and Im just a fan of this ROM and want to help other user.
Hey Sam, question at first the ROM was running smoothly but now for some reason its really laggy and some times it doesn't even respond I have to pull the battery in order for it to work, can you help out in any way?

Boot manager app has given official support for our device. And I have seen proof of it working - on youtube on a Desire S booting CM7 & MIUI.
Also bootmanager cleverly overrights the kernel with the new boot.IMG each time you flash.

Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

How long did it take you all to get off of the initial Samsung logo at start up to the cm9 boot animation after flashing? It has been roughly 10 minutes so far and it hasn't moved. My recovery is all screwed up with funny colors, but it's nice to know that others have encountered the weird recovery as well... was on Devestion before following the steps for flashing cm9.
There are many type of information all over the internet about my situation. But some sound similar or different. I'm not a developer or good at things like this. I've successfully loaded roms into my phones in the past. I tried to load ics which I got from android central. I currently have EXT4. I did not do a backup on my older rom which is HDREVOLUTION. I simply went into boot loader, then recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik, wipe dalvik and wipe data/factory reset. Then I loaded my ics rom from the sd card. Now I am stuck on the HTC Boot screen for more than 10 minutes. All I can really do now is go on bootloadeer and EXT4,but thats about it. I even tried going on download mode which I think doesnt exist within this.
Before all this. I use acehack to root my phone. It already came in with all the necessary tools I need. I did not back up the stock rom. I just loaded the HDRev rom. Ive been waiting for months for a updated ICS rom,but so far camera is still not working properly,but I just wanted to see what it would do to benefit my phone just out of curiosity.
Now I am thinking about going back to flashing the rom update from bootloader using the stock Inpspire 4G rom,but will I able to take out my micro sd card, insert it into my laptop and put in leeroid rom then flash it using EXT4? Or do I have to go back to stock rom w/ root?
download another rom and put it on your sdcard. boot to recovery through bootloader, wipe and flash.

IceCold over at desireHD is the most solid ICS rom I found so far. Even here on inspire the three most solid so far that I consider are Melchizedek, AOSPX and Redemption. But try a few on for size and give them about a week each to really get the feel of them.

Before this turns into a best rom thread and gets closed just look at each rom thread under the development section. Majority of the roms on the first two pages in that section here on xda are current and have good links.
Please do not ask for best rom suggestions. Everyone has their favorites. Try a few out and find the one that best fits for you.
Enjoy

Might be a stupid question but can I use EXT4 to flash the aospX ICS rom?

You're confusing ext4 file system with 4EXT recovery

yes you can use 4EXT recovery to flash rom just remember to do a full wipe before flashing.
1. Factory
2. Cache partition
3. advance> dalvik cache
4. go back
5. wipe cache partition (except SD card)
Flash rom and enjoy

I thought we can only flash roms for our device. I didn't think we can flash desire HD roms also

The DesireHD and the Inspire 4G are basically the same phone overall. So we can use its rom on our phone. Tho some custom roms in DesireHD may require flashing InspireMod.05 after install of rom. But I dont bother with the inspiremod cause I have not had any issues with the roms.
The best Rom I have ever used is Virtuous Affinity. Not lagging, very stable, good battery life, sense.
