Dual-Boot ROMs? - Sounds crazy but I'm curious...

Is it possible to dual-boot ROMs on the Sensation?
I wouldn't be asking this if I understood more about the Sensation's and Android's framework but why not try right?
Anyone heard of such a thing?
That would be radical!

It would certainly be cool! I'll give you that!
Sort of like how my PC stops after the bios screen and asks me if I want to boot into XP or Linux.
I'd think you'd need a modified bootloader to pull it off though. Something that could recognize 2 ROMs being available.
And the way Android runs, I think you'd absolutely need a partitioned internal storage so the files for 1 couldn't interfere with the files of another.

on my old HD2/Leo, the way they did it is a modified bootloader (Mag/CLK) and installing the rom to SD card.. you could theoretically boot as many roms as you wanted (ie have Gingerbread, ICS, WM6.5, and WM7 Mango on the same phone)

Yes, you can dual boot on Sensation.
There is an app called Boot manager.that supports the sensation and it let's you boot, not only 2 ROM but up to 4!
Downside? Is not free, but it's not expensive either.

Sounds dumb .. but you can boot a bunch of roms ..
Just install the rom .. make a CWM Backup or a 4ext Backup
Then you can switch between roms like hats and in just a few minutes
I have 6-8 different roms that I play with ..

Will this work on the Samsung exhibit ii

Yeah but it's still somewhat different from turning on your phone and being able to pick what ROM you want to boot, instead of having to wait to restore from backup.

that's all good but notice that it doesn't support ics yet. Only reason I didn't get it.

It sounds really, really interesting, looking forward to see the ICS version.

Actually I was trading the comments acne some devices support ics. If anyone wants to try...

I am also searching for a Kernel to Overclock my Attain, but no luck so far :/ Maybe i can Pay a Dev to make one?

I would say go ahead and root as to be ready for when they finally get around to developing the custom roms. And it also helps in reducing battery discharge.

The only custom rom I know of is GASMOD by genevodot. Other than that there's really nothing else

still no luck..
still searching for a custom rom for my attain.. rooted, but only in hope that a rom will come out soon. im not interested in the gasmod rom, there is still too many problems with it and the devs dont seem to want to apply any fixes.

Well the dev that made gasmod broke his attain so that will pretty much remain unfinished. All in all the attain is pretty much dead in terms of development activity and without a CWM recovery there's not much that can be be done. So don't hope for a custom rom lol. Even one member on the androidforums said he was gonna build a rom but that never saw the light of day. If you're familiar with theming then you can Atleast theme your attain to how you want it and add a few tweaks to the build.prop but that's about it.

Thank you for the help.. I got an ics theme using holo launcher.. Its pretty ok. I would feel better with a custom recovery and such but.. As it seems metro pcs isnt even selling my phone anymore so think im dead in the water... Thanks forbthe help though

[Q] dumb question regarding porting

since our atrix 2 used only one referance in the build.prop for the radio and the new leaked sgII ics firmware also does and is already [email protected] is it posibul that it can be ported to our phone?

It doesn't matter how many references there are in the build.prop it has to be the same antenna. I don't think the sg2 has the same antenna as the Atrix 2.

ty I will now find what radio I was able to flash the other day while goofing around (was either one of the droids or the razr) and try to port that one ty

wait a minute. You flashed
- A radio that WORKED
- That was designed for ICS
?

no not one for ics, but they already have ics roms that work for that one and it also works on the asian and our mb865 it is a little buggy as it does not like to turn the radio back on every once in a while after I put it in airplane mode and needs to be restarted as it tends to hang when it does that but over all it works very good

please post some links! The only thing holding us back from ICS is that we can't get the radio to work. What phone is the ROM for?

This is CM10. I don't want to explain it again but basically I will be merging my ColdBlooded Tweaks soon. I compiled from source and then made some modifications so some more things worked. Also, I am available to help people and fix issues where as the other cm10 is not as they are very VERY busy doing great work on other things/roms! Just try the rom and you will find out or read in the thread. I can't go very deep into now because I am busy doing many things but I'm sure you will figure it out.

nice work
Nice Work BiteBlaze.
I'm using your ROM as my daily driver and is awesome.
Was a little difficult to me to at the first because the phone don't boot, just hang out on the X boot image. I flash with TWRP first, and I think I didn't do full wipe out, don't remember.
After flashing the boot.img that come with the zip all went well
Some bugs that you maybe already know:
the incoming notification appear some glitch;
Also my battery life is short, 6 hours for the first boot. In "battery usage" I didn't notice any strange behaviour, my screen is consuming most of the time 60%. Maybe I have to calibrate my battery.
But in resume all works well.
Love Google Now Cards
Thanks

Your Welcome! It will only get better in the future

Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I've got a dilema, i'm quite fine with my actual rom Paranoid Android.... but I want to try yours so much !!
I do need a stable rom with a good battery life! So... if some people makes relevant comments to convince me to flash it i'll do it, héhéhé! :silly:

I was little skeptical at 1st because I'm running the other cm10 but this feels a lot better and you actually have a camera app. Awesome job. I noticed cm10 has theme engine will you be adding that feature to your ROM?

Yep. Next time I compile I will add the theme engine. Also, vote on the poll in my dev thread and tell me if I should make a lite version.

Is it ever possible that we can receive official support from the CM team once this is no longer alpha/beta (almost everything works)? What our devs do here is completely amazing and mind boggling, but it would always be more concrete if we get official support. I always wondered why we do not have CM support when our device is tied in first place with the One X (over GSiii!). Thanks for the amazing hard work getting this going!

If it's not under warranty anymore, you could try flashing a custom ROM. I don't believe you will look back!
