[Q] Anyway to have two roms at the same time? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I know some devices other than Samsung's could use an app called boot manager to do that...and I know there's one for galaxy s2. Wonder if there's one for our phone?

no, there isn't, at least not yet

Yes there is! Buy 2 skyrockets, and put 2 different Roms on them.

This doesn't work with our phone because we don't have a kernel to support it. But it may just be modifying the kernel and tweaking the app to allow functionality. But for now just nandroids seems like our only option.

Hahahahahah

Contrary to the massive amounts of ignorance pouring out. Yes, there is a way. There is also a phone that incorporates this however, our device isn't partitioned in such a way. The said device that has this functionality is a Chinese device that isn't supported on XDA.
I'm referring to the M1

Does your town have a tall bridge?
people are dying senselessly around the world, and you are complaining that you don't have a silly ROM? really?
don't mean to be such a downer, but folks need to be more thankful with what they've got rather than worried about the things that they don't have.
Oh **** off I was just hoping someone would have some news with a new ics or jb ROM.
And I honestly don't care about people dying, unless its my family. And, I want what I want.

You have the opportunity to root that Charge and flash custom roms and kernels and tweak it into a cool phone. You can get rid of the poop and puke color scheme and have it looking pretty much any way you want. It's really great for that.

I love how everyone always assumes that it's Samsung's decision. It isn't, or at least it isn't completely their decision. They're at the mercy of the chipset maker as to what they can release...they're using proprietary VIA code, and it's up to them as to how much Samsung is even allowed to release.
Bet Verizon is part of the problem as well.

JB for certain (AOSP was too large). For ICS, they were at minimum saying that OS plus TouchWiz would be too much, let alone after VZW adds all of their bulk.
This is sad news, especially when this p.o.s can get ICS, and the charge cannot. Makes me even more regretful for buying my charge for 300.

Not really a big deal but it would be cool to see on our skyrocket. Our developers are so awesome so it wouldn't surprise me to see it. Getting it on nexus 7 and would love to have it on both.

Honestly probably not; and I think it's a gimmick at the moment. A phone entirely controlled by gestures? Sounds great in theory, but not great in practice
I guess I'll find out soon enough on my nexus 7.

one word: BB10, blackbery's new os is entirely gesture drive
but we don't have enough devs for a port of something like this, its massive... I truly believe that unless a device with similar chip set/CPU gets it we likely won't. Don't get me wrong our devs are great, just few
Would be nice, as would Firefox OS but i'm more hot for Ubuntu for Android as that would finally rid me of having a technically unnecessary pc
I use a gesture based OS on my blackberry playbook daily. It is incredibly smooth when done correctly. If Ubuntu does it correctly, then I wouldn't mind having it ported. If it's done badly, then it just wouldn't be worth it.

Working on porting it now actually if git servers ever decide to sync.
I hope it's easy to do. I love android but I've always wanted to try a different operating system. Not gonna make it permanent but it'd be cool to use sometimes. Anyone know if you can back it up with recovery and restore it later? I'll ask over in the nexus 7 forums as well.

You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.
Cannocal has already made a flashable zip for the nexus devices. You have to fastboot flash a .img file.

Really? I'm not sure your subtle hint at enormous riches for the dev who puts it out first will make the development move any faster?
Also,
The fact that we have a system dump from the International version will have little to no impact on our phones, aside from a few mods.

I think what most people on XDA have taken exception to is HTC's complete disregard for GPL compliance. Locked bootloaders and partial source code (if any) abound. It's not that the devs don't like a challenge, it's just that they take offense to a company going out of their way to block them and completely disregard the law.

I want the S4 simply because I've basically had every Galaxy made by samsung. I had to sell my S3 but I loved the way it felt, and from the reviews I've heard of the S4, it feels even better so going off of that and all of the cool features it has I want it!
s4
I say go for the s4 its more high tech HTC one is not quality brand
The HTC One phone looks cool, HTC Sense looks good.
S4 , looks wise is similar to S3

with recent court rulings about patents not worth as much as they initially thought, I would imagine Google is ready to cut their losses on this one

Not to my knowledge. I have been using it on my SR and my Nexus 7 from the day it was released, with no issues. What worked for me was to manually unsubscribe from all threads that were subscribed to from the old app, clear app data and cache, and then re-add all subs. Not a single issue since then.

I actually hate how much it lags. Also, if I remember it correctly, there's no way to view your posts. And when you visit a thread you'd visited before, it takes you to the first page again, which is very annoying. Not sure if this was even tested in the first place.
To view your posts, back up to the left menu, and choose "particiapted". As for the way it opens a previously viewed thread, you can go to settings and choose whether you want it to open at the beginning, go to the first unread post, or to the newest post.
