unCoRrUpTeD Dual Boot V1 (RELEASE DATE: TBA...)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9345833
the Devs here have managed to dual boot their phones using sdcard. I was wondering if we could make that for galaxy 3...Ofcourse this invloves modifying Sbl.bin & boot.bin
anybody any ideas where to start ??
that would be awsome......n awso.....mmmme.
i think devs here are surely going to try smthing like this....waiting for them
Great but a dual boot with 2 android firmware. Or android other OS ?
Sent from my I5801 using lestatious 1.9 JIT and O/c 1 Ghz
that would be very usefull for testing custom roms without erasing your data

this app is for WM but may be smone cud start porting this
which also means working on the kernals or from recovery!

This one also looks sort off promising.
I've skimmed the thread and it comes down to booting other ROMS (a maximum of 4).
There were 3 files needed, a system.img, a data.img and a cache.img you then just place them in folders and that seemed to do the trick.
I think this is a nice starting point if some devs are actually going to mess around with it.

Yeah I too saw this
Perhaps a bit of modding and nandroids can make this a success but hardware can be a limitation
If I'm not mistaking, but please tell me if I do, there was a member in the G3 section who was trying to make a AOSP version of Froyo (so without all the Samsung stuff) and he got stuck at the conversion of a system.img to factory.rfs.
So if someone gets this working, he could continue his project.

i too read about that
what the member can do is to flash a rom with cwm and then restore his files as a backup
bt AFAIK someone helped him convert and he booted too maybe
[ MyTouch 4G Slide - Boot Manager Pro Compatibility ]
I'm not affiliated with Init 2 Winit Apps in any way. I'm just an average user aiming to help the community.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boot Manager Pro is an application that allows you to boot different ROMs easily (the App claims in can handle unlimited slots, as long as your SD Card supports it ). Kinda like Dual Booting Linux and Windows, two different operating systems on one computer. Boot Manager Pro is like that, you set up your default ROM through recovery and then you "Install" ROMs on separate slots, and then you boot them with a simple tap. This is perfect for Flashaholics and anyone who simply desires to test a ROM, no need to be constantly backing up and restoring different ROMs from nandroids.
This App is NOT free, you can get it from the Android Market for $2.99 [as of Feb 25, 2012]
Over the past few days I've been playing with this app, trying to get ROMs running on it. Some MyTouch 4G Slide ROMs are compatible with Boot Manager Pro, others aren't. This thread aims to list what ROMs work, and what ROMs don't work with this app. If you've tried any additional ROMs, please add a comment and let us know! Also! I recommend plenty of storage space. Each ROM would take about 1.9 GB off your SD Card. I recommend a 16GB Class 6 or 10 card. Whatever suits you best!
This App was developed by Init 2 Winit Apps. Credits and a Screen shot are attached.
Working ROMs
Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.1
Pyr-o-Ice Sense 1.1.0
Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 ROM (I wasn't able to install it from ZIP, instead I had to install it from recovery, run a nandroid backup, and then restore the nandroid to a ROM Slot on Boot Manager Pro. This ROM has the original stock Doubleshot Camera)
TBalden's CM9 OpenSensation Port
Rubix ICS 5.3 (thanks dung8604)
Wildchild IcE v0.1 ALPHA (AOKP/CM9)
ICS Virtuous ROMs should work (not tested)

NON-Working ROMs
MIUI (tbalden was able to get it working by unplugging the USB, removing the battery, and rebooting constantly until it worked - if it works for someone else, please confirm)
CM7
Virtuous Infinity (thanks NovaxxBite)
Hopefully we can find a reason why these ROMs don't work. It can perhaps be the version/kernel of the Phone's ROM, who knows!
If anyone can get one of these ROMs working by Flashing them as the phone ROM from recovery, making a nandroid, and restoring the nandroid to a separate slot, please let us know!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If anyone has tried any other ROMs, please let us know! Also, messing with the Boot Manager Pro settings may enable some ROMs under "Non-Working" to work, I have yet to try it.

Good thread. Perhaps we can e mail the developers and bring it to their attention
Not sure how, but I got rubix 5.3 working with boot manager. Stock kernel, I believe.

I think I have a copy of that ROM sitting on my SD Card, I loved how smooth that ROM was but I started disliking it when it began to be stripped out of it's core functions... Like, when the DS camera was removed. Thanks for the heads up!
What's your Phone ROM currently ?

Currently on pyr o ice 1.1.1, gonna update soon to 1.1.2. I believe I was able to flash the gallery and camera zip fixes. I plan on using it mainly for tv out, and if I want really good pictures. Day to day, camera ics and/or the sensation camera that came with pyr o ice is good enough.
If you want to keep all that stuff, just use 5.2. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the two.
On another note, I've been trying for like four hours to get miui.us to load in slot 2. Still no go. I have no clue how tbalden got it to load.

I used to have 5.2, well... Whatever, I'll give it a shot later! Pyroice does have a good Camera, but it's missing 1080p recording. I use Pyroice as my daily driver, and if I need to take an HD video I just switch quickly.
I loaded MIUI as my Phone ROM, But I've had no luck getting it on any slot. It gets stuck on the Splash screen. I asked tbalden for advice and he suggested the battery pull technique, I gave
up after 6 boots... Lol!
Same here, I don't know how he got it working. I'm not even all that interested in miui, but not being able to load is is annoying. Boot manager is really flaky sometimes.

It's worth $3.00 though, It really isn't much.
I love the idea which I'd why I paid for it but it clearly isn't ready for prime time. It never works for me.

I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what, but this app is flaky for me. Can't get wildchild's ROM booting, and I really want to try it
I was able to boot CM7 selfkang via BootManager.
one thing i notices is when you first create a slot you have to make sure the screen dosnt go to sleep because if it dose it seems to stop creating the .img files and then they are not in the proper size they should be and that seems to cause issues at least for me i dont know if anyone else experienced this issues.
After the files were created successfully install CM7 in it worked perfectly for me.
Honestly, I've done everything right. This app is beta at best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Hello all!
I'm new here so first of all a massive hello to everyone here!
I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace and also a Samsung Galaxy 3 (Apollo GT-i5801). My Ace is fine as it is but the i5801 sucks!
Anyway basically I want to know what the best options are for the i5801... Mainly which ROM is best for it... I've seen Kyrillos is this the best ROM to go with?
My phone is currently running: ECLAIR.BVJF4 / Kernel 2.6.29 / Firmware 2.1-update1
Basically all I need to know is:
It has horrible stock apps which bug the hell out of me, in fact the Ace has these too how can you remove them?
Which ROM is best (by best I mean best features, minimal bugs, good GPS lock...)
Are there any other modifications anyone can recommend for this device?
Thanks for your time everyone! :good:

You have to root your phone using z4root app (search it in google) if you're on android 2.1 or superoneclick root which is a computer program if you're on android 2.2. Then after it's rooted, download an app called titanium backup, allow it root access, then press the menu button in the app, click on batch and click on uninstall system apps or something similar.
Kyrillos 9.6 is a very stable ROM, has none or very little/minimal bugs and has a good GPS lock reported by many users. I would recommend flashing Kyrillos 9.0 and updating to 9.6 as it's less hassle then rooting and adding your own modifications. After flashing Kyrillos ROM you may want to enable hybrid data2sd so search for information about that in the forum if you want to but basically, it gives you more internal memory for apps.

My Galaxy Ace and Galaxy 3 are both rooted but I didn't know about Titanium Backup! That is just what I needed so thank you so much for the info!!!
I will give Kyrillos 9.6 a whirl I guess
'Thanks' button pressed and i also ordered a GiffGaff sim by using your banner for my i5801 (Once i figure out how to unlock it, SGS unlock failed to do so ) I assume this will benefit you too in some way so that's another way of saying thanks :good:
Cheers!!
Thanks! Basically, when you top up £10, we both get £5 extra credit XD But bear in mind it only works in England.

If you want to use your Galaxy 3 daily, then I highly recommend you to use stock Froyo (JPS) ROM + Fugumod v2.4 Beta 3 (or Ultra version). I've found some FC bugs in Kyrillos' ROM too and the theme works kinda slow (no offence to dev). But yes, you can still give it a try. Also, if you're interested, you can also try my ROM (Purumod, link below)...my brother been using it since last month and everything worked perfectly.

Yeah i do want to use it near enough daily (its going to be my business mobile) To be honest the bigggest issue was the apps I thought i would have to redo the ROM and everything to get that to work but it would appear that program sorts it all out so i may not even need to flash it!

Just for the first time but then you can tell your friends to order and you can get extra £5's :laugh: Also, it's free calls and texts to anyone who is using giffgaff for three months when you top up £10. That offer happens every time you top up.
Anyway, back on topic, Kyrillos framework is very smooth and i'm using fugumod 2.4 :good: The only issue I have with Kyrillos is low internal memory but i don't install loads of apps so it's not to much of a problem. Also, Kyrillos ROM has quite a few unique features since he's been developing for nearly a year on his ROM so it's quite advanced whereas purumod is quite new and not as advanced but just as stable. Purumod has more internal memory without using app2sd etc. I have used both of them long term and they're both awesome. You'll have to decide yourself.
Also, about stock JPS, it's quite good as well but why use stock when we have perfectly stable froyo 2.2 ROM's with are a million times faster?

Awesome! Yeah I love GiffGaff! I use them on my Galaxy Ace they are excellent!
I re rooted my phone as it was flagging errors and also installed Titanium Backup and now all the dodgy apps are gone!! Its sooooo much faster now its fantastic! can't thank you enough for your info!
I also ran SGS Unlock 1.3 again on it and it successfully unlocked the phone this time (must of had a dodgy root last time?)
All ready for my new GiffGaff sim now!
Also, about stock JPS, it's quite good as well but why use stock when we have perfectly stable froyo 2.2 ROM's with are a million times faster?

This is a interesting point... My phone is now very quick it hardly has any apps on it (which is all it needs to do, my Ace does all the cool apps n stuff) so it's really nice as is but i do like the idea of tinkering with it with other ROM's.
What other benefits are there over the stock ROM's?

Hi all, I hope someone can point me in the right direction as I've just picked up this phone for the first time tonight, and am a total stranger around this neck of the XDA woods.
I've just unlocked and rooted my girls Pico. Obviously the internal memory issue is driving her (and therefore me) nuts, but I don't want to go the way of CM or the likes, as she wants Sense (crazy, I know!!). Sooo..
Can someone point me in the direction of a Sense based ROM that will app2sd?

Dude u can choose "Genext" n "jaggy3.1". Both are sense based roms. But I advice genext its stable and this Rom u no need to use app2sd cz its mount2sd enable.unjust need to do enable it.just go to dat Rom ull understand everything
N coming to jaggy Rom.its also good here u have to install link2sd app its also same like app2sd it'll automatically move all apps,data to sd. So ull always get 145mb free space.
Typing in swift key3 from tiny explorer with ICS
Flash jaggyrom or next-gen!
Don't go for sense4 just yet! It's not completely stable

Hi,
I'm very fan of dual boot Android devices, it gives me the possibility to have one ROM without root (to use apps that require non-rooted devices) and a second one with it, to test ROMs.
This is why I want to know if its possible to bring this tool to our devices.
If there is a Team developing it, I want to help coding and testing.
Thanks!

Well, I guess you can call A/B devices that. Userdata is not separate but running unencrypted makes it possible to use two different ROMs. Definitely not recommended but possible

Because every ROM has different settings and copying /data 1:1 could lead to issues or bugs. Just be aware of that

Yes I know, this is why I prefer MultiROM.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing since day one I got this baby.
I mean I got 256g of storage to spare, some roms in it would be cool!
Time to hoist the colours and call our captain lol @Captain_Throwback
How difficult would be to build MULTIROM from sources?
