Dual boot - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would it be possible to dual boot different versions of Android, like GB and 4.2? I would really like to play smooth games, but I just can't get back to GB since I got used to all the jellybean goodies and UI smoothness..
Thanks in advance.

[APP] [BETA] Front Camera Mirror (Need JB and ICS testers)

Hey guys. I'm working on making my Nexus7 Mirror app compatible with all 4.0+ devices. I spent a little time making some modifications and all the kinks seem to be worked out as far as I can tell using my GNex. It would be awesome if anybody would be willing to do a little testing on other 4.0+ devices before I go ahead and release to the market. I'm gonna put the finishing touches on now and package it and will put it up shortly.
[ BETA FINISHED ] Thanks For All The Help!!
UPDATE: Here is the link: ------------------------ (Click the link in my sig to find the Front Camera App on the market)
Just to keep a list for my sake. Confirmed working on:
-Asus Nexus7
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus
-Galaxy Note
-Sony Experia S
-HTC One XL
-Photon 4G
-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7
-Atrix HD
-Asus Transformer TF101
-Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
-LG Optimus L7
-Infuse 4g
Not Working
-Samsung Galaxy S2
It should work on any device that is 4.0+ and has a front facing camera. If you try it out please let me know which device and whether you are running JB or ICS. You will have to enable "install from unknown sources" to try this out.
Works just fine on my Galaxy Note (4.0.4).

Vishy, thanks for testing it out. Does the app crash when it is started, or does it simply not display an image? Thanks for your help.

Well this question goes unanswered so let me be the first to say that I will pick up on this project and run with it to come up with a port for the evo3D. I will obtain the source code from the following link.

Try this - an awesome experience :
1) get an aosp ROM (I'm running Halogen Mod)
Go to Phandroid.com
2) install the 4.4 launcher, Google search and play services 4.0
3) get the new keyboard (much better than aosp keyboard)
4) get the new hangouts app
5) install deskclock
Profit

Rumours suggest S5 will probably be launched by then. I have a feeling 4.4 will be introduced by Samsung only with S5. Anyway the usual launch happens in April/May.

They wont leave s4 with just 4.3
That would be horribly stupid.
Even s3 had been launched with 4.0.4
But then ended up getting 4.1.1 then 4.1.2 and a leaked version of 4.2.2

i expect someone to mess around with AOSP and cook up a rom by tonight.. like the old days before GPE.. I'm surprise someone ain't do it with the SDK yet

Yes. It may be. But surety says Yes in Jan/Feb.
With no further ado, here is when Android 4.4 is coming to various devices:
HTC
HTC One (including carrier models) – Within 90 days
HTC One Google Play Edition – Within 15 days
Motorola (no timeframes yet)
DROID Ultra
DROID Maxx
DROID Mini
Moto X
Nexus Devices
Nexus 4 – “Coming weeks”
Nexus 7 – “Coming weeks”
Nexus 10 – “Coming weeks”
Samsung
Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition – “Coming weeks”
I've heard S4 GPe is based on Touchwiz. I wonder if their sources would be helpful in CM development?

If I recall, the Google Play edition S4 is virtually identical hardware to the S4 i9505 international isn't it? (?)
Could this mean a ported ROM for the non play edition ... well fairly quickly?
I'd miss several Samsung features :/

knowing Samsung, there's just no way the non-GE S4 will receive kit kat before the S5 releases

I think that uses some exclusive libraries, I might be wrong though, sonys apps seem to be the easiest to port
