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.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me with Primo... I tried installing CM7 to the SD card, but the ROM doesn't boot... Anyone else?

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...
Being that the Skyrocket is my first android-based phone, i'm still fairly new to this. Currently, I have NexusMod4 running on my phone. Say I wanted to flash a different rom or even the ICS leak etc.. what would be the best way to do this? Do I just go ahead and flash it or do I have to uninstall the current or anything like that? Also, what should be backed up? Everything? Lol. Apps can be backed up and restored via Titanium Backup, correct? Help a noob out.
hi there, can you just advise on this: when you flash a ROM do you lose all of your phones UI ( TW on Samsung phones for example).
thanks in advance

ok guys
One. Search is your friend it would have answered your questions so please in the future try to do so
Two. When installing a new rom its like installing a different version of windows so when you do your wipes its like formatting a hard drive so yes you loose all of the old data including whatever ui was on the old rom.
Three. Backups are important many make a full one of the stock setup and archive it somewhere safe for those oh **** moments lol and many like to flip between roms by backing up their favs and restoring them as their fancy is stricken.
Four. Yes tibu is good for backing up apps me personally I use system tuner pro for this purpose among many others. Hope this helps out

Hi, I want to know how to boot more than one rom using Boot Manager... i've tried to do it numerous times but each time I just get frozen on my carrier logo on reboot. What partitions do i need setup? I'm a bit of a noob so if it's really complicated can you simplify it. Thanks in advance.
Dude, I made a thread on this - did you need to make another one?
I've had no luck either... Tried it on about 5 different ROMs, but never works! Have you tried formatting your memory card?

Oh sorry, I hadn't noticed your post :S and no I haven't formatted it so I will do so now. Cheers... kinda.

Are you sure?
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.

I guess that's the point, miui and cm can use the same kernel.

Well the app allows you to change the boot.img before you boot into a different ROM. So it should still work

Today I got it to work with Virtuous Infinity + ViperSaga and now using Virtuous + CM10.
I had to S-OFF with ENG HBOOT! Setup 2 Rom's, make a Nandroid and then choose in Boot Manager Install Zip -> Restore Nandroid, not install from Zip.
Works like charm for me. (=
Hi guys!
I have some sweets for you.
It's a Sense 5 Transformation for Sense 4+
BUT!
KEEP IN MIND!! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CRASHED PHONES, DEAD SD CARDS AND FLYING GRANDMAS, IT STILL IN TESTING, IF MY MODIFICATION F*CKED OUT YOUR PHONE, IT"S YOUR PROBLEM! BECAUSE YOU FLASHED THIS MOD!
Ok,
Sorry for this shout, but it's big nightly which in 40% can brick your phone. Sorry, ROM, not phone
BUT!
In update, it isn't too much nightly, its from stock Sense 5 SystemUI.apk. And i think, it can't crash your phone.
Installation is simply (For most users and developers)
Make a nandroid backup, because, it can brick your phone.
Flash and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
If you flashed this modification i will post your name at this list

As the title says I'm trying to swap the phones internal memory with my 32gb Sd card but I can't figure how to do it. I tried the methods from stock ROM and CM but neither worked. If anyone can help here out would be much appreciated.

Bump. No one really knows how to do this?

No, because Omni is 2 months old (not just for our phone, it was made 2 months ago in general). Maybe some of expirienced devs can tell you, but ones who are not that expirenced can't explain you how to do it.
By the way, did you try with some methods that works on CM 10.2?
Well I don't really know how to do it. I tried this (it worked in CM) in build.prop and it didn't work in Omni.
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1
ro.vold.switchablepair=/storage/sdcard0,/storage/sdcard1
I will try to search around some more but I doubt I can find the solution.

Open storage folder in system folder of root. And see if names are sdcard0/1. Maybe on Omni it is changed...
They are exactly like that.

Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426804
By that, you cannot do anything... Unless you implement it in kernel.
P.S. And definitely from some other post:
Kernel for switching internal & external SD
Because vold.fstab is no longer used and has been integrated in fstab.aries (which can only be changed before compiling the kernel, as it ends up in the ramdisk), I made a special kernel version with switched SD cards.

Guess that means I'm going back to a lower android because I doubt our devs will modify the kernel at this stage just for this since they have more important stuff. Thank you very much for that.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using Tapatalk
I guess you can do it by an init.d script, re mounting partitions as you want after boot
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Well I probably have no clue how to do that but I'll dig around. I'm just glad there might be a chance for swap to work.
Edit: Well I managed to solve my storage problem in some other way. Will share here if some other people need this. I used FolderMount app from playstore for all my large games. Free version only supports 3 folder mounts (that means 3 large games/apps etc) but I already bought the paid version, that unlocks everything, since it really solves all my issues. I can now stay happy on OmniROM!
