Dual Boot , is it possible? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

This may be a dumb question, but I thought it would be really cool if it was possible. Would it be possible to dual-boot between a sense ROM and a CM10 ROM with perhaps a script using script manager or TWRP recovery and to fit both ROMs on the system partition would it be possible to combine\collapse certain files that are identical on both of the ROMs? Or is that they completely absurd and ridiculous question?
P.S. I am a horrible speller.

I'm sure its possible... but I think it would be a pain in the butt for the deva

Just not supported for the One X because no S-off. :crying:

Not currently available on our phone, the closest you're going to come is storing any cross-ROM data on your SD card partition and flashing between the backups of two ROMs. Personally I believe that devs should focus on their ROMs becoming so polished that you won't need to dual boot
What benefits were you looking to get out of running two separate ROMs?

Cm10+ sense camera would be awesome.

It's a very practical way of testing new roms and rom updates on a second partition, while maintaining a stable rom on the first partition as your "daily driver".

Hi, I have been using bootmanager on my last 2 HTC phones (dhd and sensation) and its great. I used it to test out loads of different Roms and also had a work based Rom (with mandatory extra software etc) and my own for the rest of the time.
I recently upgraded to the one x and was gutted to find that it was not supported. I am lucky enough to have an s-off version so tried a manual setup but it fails at the first hurdle when setting up phone Rom.
The devs seem to be having some time off and their support mail quota is blown so have not managed to ask them. Shame as they used to be great with support.
If the bootmanager devs or anyone cleverer than I has any ideas let me know otherwise I will report back if I ever get it to work.
Cheers

I'd be interested if you ever get it to work let us know. This forum is for the dual core version know as the htc one xl not sure you have this version or the quad core international version.

Will do. Its the international version quad core, this seemed the closest discussion on this topic.

Son of a [email protected]?/$. Wish they would release the source code already... Maybe now that I'm done with school for a minute I will dig into att for some info on the source code...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
IIRC, someone was was able to flash a boot.img via CWM....so S-Off isn't a crushing priority unless we want to change the radio or version of HBOOT....Still something to pursue....but not choking development.
CM9 is already in an early alpha phase....so when kernel source drops it should help provide data on the broken pieces (unless HTC just happens to leave out the parts we need).
Anyhoo, everyone is getting antsy because there are not breakthroughs happening every day now. You have to understand we are about 70%-80% already opening this entire phone to all of its capabilities that users expect with mature, heavily developed devices (CWM, TWRP, root, unlocked bootloader, a few great Custom ROMs, etc.). The last remaining 20-30%, mostly kernel source, should finish providing what all of us need to 'top it off' (CM9, AOKP, Custom Kernels, etc.).
Be patient, we've already gone through most of the hard parts ....just waiting on HTC now...

Porting eu MIUI

I was trying to port the Eu rom using a cm9 base and taking parts from the Eu rom, got stuck at a bootloop, you think i would be more successful taking the eu rom and swapping things out like kernel libs etc from the cm9?
I haven't been in this phone much, but kernel, libs, and some directories were key in porting miui V4.

Did get a working miui. The connection is way better for me then cm9. No drops yet. But I'm still doing testing for the person who ported it. As of now. Camera works front and back and panorama but no camcorder. SMS data mms works. Sound music all that good stuff works. Phone does not. Can't hear nobody and they can't hear me. She is updating with a newer cm9 base soon. We wanted a booting one first. I'll keep ya guys posted through out the next couple days. It does fly tho. No lag.: )

Can I have a kind of tutorial please...?

Okay so my device is the Inspire 4G, not Desire HD (small differences). I saw that there were some good working ROMs based off of Sense 4 and ICS. I THINK it was called IceSense. There were versions based off of Sense 4, 3.6, as well as 4.0A. I had 4.0A for a month, so it was fine, but what are the features 4 has and 4A doesn't? If it leaves out too much, how can I flash Sense 4(Non-lite) with my Inspire with the camera working? I understood that there was a way, but I need it dumbed down a bit...
Thanks in advance! PS, I'm not a complete rookie at this stuff, I just don't know as much as others about the more complex stuff.

Is your phone rooted and have you flashed roms before?
Sent from a dream.
Yes, I said it already. It's rooted and I've flashed 4 ROMs before. My favorite was one based off of the One V's firmware, the only thing missing was the camera because HTC didn't make ICS yet. The Desire S & Incredible S have already gotten it, so is there any way that we can use something from those devices to help fix the camera? I understood that it could be done, but more had to be flashed, and I didn't want to experiment with that.

It's the same situation as with the M8, the M7 has completely different chipsets and screen resolution making it virtually impossible.

Kinda doesn't matter on chipsets. You just need a kernel that boots 4.3 - 4.4.2 ... For example I port roms from the m7 to the DNA , DLXPUL, and butterfly. Because they all have a kernel that works. And all those devices have different chipsets..... And no resolution doesn't matter either, yes some apps will need to be resized which you can do by editing the dimensions.xml in each app..but sense 5 and up supports hdpi-xxhdpi on most of its applications

If evo source has dropped for 4.3 then all a kernel dev needs to do is see what's the difference 4.3 and 4.2.2 .. I'd look at defconfig between them... Cause 4.3 is still jellybean. I seen you have a kernel dev here.. ask @Zarboz how to do it. He's the genius on porting kernels

Of course, older versions of softwares are always less buggy because of the amount of time taken to refine them.

Based on what? Of course its possible. The real question is how feasible it is based on how much work needs to be done, versus the desire by the right folks to do that work.
