Multiboot

I notice there's a multi boot app for the gs2 that allows the user to boot into different rims via different button combinations but is there any sort that will work for the skyrocket aswell??

Agreed the only plus for the Inspire was the forum on here for it is really good, and it was easy to root and flash correctly.
Also side note I'd be willing to do some snooping around to figure out how to port some kind of multiboot to the Skyrocket.
However I feel like the major hardware differences will be major problems am I right?

BootManager Pro development???

FWIW, Init2Winit recently announced that they are looking for someone to continue development on BootManager Pro. I used it on my old Inspire 4G and it worked great. Still looking for something...Anything...like it for the SGH-i727. I have zero coding skills, so if you think you can do something with it, please contact them for the sake of the community!

Can't we just get along?

Took this picture at work, and thought wouldn't it be nice.
On a side note, joined XDA 2 years ago today. Went from DX to Bionic to S3.

depends how you look at it.

As much as I respect the things Apple has accomplished as a company, I sincerely dislike the way they handle business. They technically do work with Samsung right?

The nature of their relationship is like... "frienemies"
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Samsung makes like 10% of their sales to Apple, so its a close relationship otherwise. Although if they grew a pair, now would be a time to "complicate" the relationship because the iPhone 5 would be quite delayed, killing their sales, and some of the fan base who are looking to upgrade soon.

10% wouldn't make a huge deal to Samsung, the best thing they could do now is hit Apple where it hurts the most: cripple their iPhone 5 production without much prior notice by not selling them parts, and we'll see who the ***** is then. I wish one of Apple's supply companies would put them in their place so they can see how dependent they are on other companies even though they keep sueing them. Apple doesn't make anything on their own as far as hardware like Sammy or Moto do, so they wouldn't get very far if others started treating them the way Apple treats others, then they'd figure out how dependent they really are. Someone's knocking on the door, I better go it's probably the Apple police looking for people that don't blindly think they're great, lol.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Problem is they have a contract with Apple, and unless they are willing to break that contract and without a doubt get sued with absolutely no hope of winning, they won't do that.

ha-ha that's just not going to happen.

iPhone 5

Man does the new phone look boring and same old, same old.

Now to see how far HTC pushes the ITC...
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/10/apple_htc_patent/
For those that don't want to click, HTC is seeking to ban the iPhone 5 in the US due to the fact that HTC owns 2 patents relating to connecting a device to a 4G or LTE network.
Realistically, they'll probably just use it as leverage against Apple for something else rather than have an all out ban on importing the devices; but it will be interesting to see the result.
For the phone specifically...I agree *yawn*. 4 inch screen, big deal. 5 icon rows, whoopie... Absolutely nothing new in that department.

Sammy is also gonna strike at apple with its 12% of the world's LTE patents

I know, oh god. It's basically a 4 inch iPhone 4s.

It's a piece of crap. Iphone 5 can't even be compared to Skyrocket, no way it would match up with S3 or Note 2 :laugh: Only Ifans would consider this icrap as an "evolution".

Whoopie? Really? 5 icon rows may seem like no big thing to you but I'll have you know that Apple has a patent on the number "5". So nobody has the right to use 5's without Apple's permission.

According to the articles I've read about the HTC case the only thing they've done (for that specific case) is ask the judge to invalidate the patents...

Not much changed since 4S, but people will buy it anyway.

And an A6 processor. And a much better camera. And a different design. And a different connector.
And so.. how is it just like an iPhone 4S? Aside from the little silver picture of an apple on the back..
Seriously you guys.

That's it though, its faster and and has a better camera. That is expected from new phones. Nothing is exciting about the new iPhone.

Agreed, the S3 was the same. nothing exciting

I was a little late to the smart phone era. The main thing that got me to the iPhone a while back was the fact that you could jailbreak it. At the time, in my opinion, and personal knowledge, Apple iOS had the apps and the features that I wanted in my professional and personal life. Since then, the manufactures, developers and community like this forum have taken the high end android based phones far pass anything Apple could put out. I want to break my phone so I can get a SIII or something just to keep testing out all the awesome things coming out. Keep up the work guys!

I'm givin' her all she's got, Cap'n!
But seriously, when (if?) there's an S4, it really does need to be a significant upgrade from the S3. Why spend all that money for a new phone just to get a little bit more RAM, a little bit faster processor, and a few other very minute improvements? I was ready to sell my SR to get an S3 just before they announced it, but I decided not too because it was so underwhelming. Based on today and *trying to be a reasonable individual* I think that, compared to the jump from SR to S3, the iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 is a pretty good upgrade.

Why do they get it and we don't? This is so frustrating.

Nor does the S5... Or the Z2... Or the Find 7...
I think the question we should be asking is why did every other manufacturer decline the functionality?
My guess is that it either isn't too great with battery or the keyword HAS to be "Hello Snapdragon" which didn't fly with them.

You're right! I wasn't aware the GS5 had that. Indeed they're most likely using the chipset feature.
But this raises another question, why didn't one plus customize their keyword? "Hello Snapdragon" is kind of a mouthful. I guess it doesn't really matter.
I can't help but wonder if this functionality can be hacked in. I'd think it would be easier on a AOSP based ROM.
