FTFY
But at the moment we do not have the necessary things in place to dual boot.
I want to bump this thread.
I would like to know if anyone is working on a dualboot spcifically for windows 7.
Rumors as they are are pointing that Windows 8 will be tablet friendly or atleast touch screen friendly. I would like to see something like this come out for the Xoom if for nothing more than proof of concept for now.
You want Win7 on ARM? huh?

Will we be able to boot ARM Ubuntu with an SD card when 3.1 is released?

Windows 7 doesn't support ARM........windows 8 will.........so you could probably see a windows 8 xoom.....but windows 7 on any honeycomb device.......I don't think so....

Thinking wild,
like in linux we can have live cd & boot from a live cd is it possible to make the android rom compatible for booting from internal or external sd card without installation?
This way we can test different roms without messing up the installed rom, the latest such implementation was done in 2009 for canon 5D camera & later for many other cameras having magic lantern firmware to boot from CF/SD card without messing up the firmware.
Any developer willing to look into this?
There are already such a thing called boot manager. It support multi-ROM installing. But only for HTC devices, even not Samsung I9000.

Idea is fantastic. It looks like 'preview of rom' just like 'theme preview' in nokia. But practically its impossible. U can use emulator to run rom on computer.

Oh I didn't know that that boot manager exist can you give me the link for this please.
Are samsung chips locked in some way hence now allowing the booting?

@vishal24387 where can I find such emulator to run rom?
We need first USB OTG.
Like SGS2, but there we have a "hidden" partition, that is the second boot partition!

adb emulator with a nandroid backup
dude sgsl9003 is talking about dual boot
Ok found the boot manager in the market & the description says
BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition (probably hidden).

No samsung device is listed only HTC work. Seems samsung purposely locking the devices & crippling the phones even though hardware supports many features?

Yes kind of dual boot like on my windows machine I still can boot into linux from the live cd, it will be ideal if android roms can be made to work like that but I am no developer & don't even know how this can be done hence inviting all genius rom developers to look into this possibility.
Developers will get a lot more feedback from users since then we could test roms (nightly build) as & when required without installation & messing up the stock rom.
Great idea, but very difficult to achieve. But i'm very positive that with the presence of some great devs we have here one day we can achieve such feat.
This is a good way of eliminating having to flash new ROM on our devices.
i have used dual boot in my motorola rokr e6 around 2 yrs before

Great so do you think the same can be done for i9003?
hmm it was diffferent cause rokr e6 was an ezx phone based on linux but it is very different from android which is also based on linux

Can we do this on i9003 as well? We're talking about samsung phones, the method has been ported to a galaxy s2... and dual boot might be useful for debugging alpha mods!
Is it possible? Or i9003 and Samsung Galaxy s2 are completely different phones?
what's the use?? i don't see why apart from novelty that someone would like to do this.

Really? This is important for people who need a working phone but would like to try out (and maybe help) new roms. Here's why.
You have dual boot: you start the phone in the morning with Samsung's stock where everything works just fine. Then when you have time you switch back to a rom, go offline and try whatever you want. When you really need the phone you boot back to stock.
This would be helpful. I was thinking about how to port this, I know about chroot, but we need to start another kernel's image too. Maybe a script run on CWM recovery which changes boot img path and a modified kernel which sees his own as his legitimate partition? If we had grub this would be easy. I know linux tricks but I am not pratical with Android.
Galaxy 3 thread has a kernel called g3mod kernel, it supports multibiot, meaning placing the system.img in the kernel's folder, thus allowing you to multiboot, and keeping your data there.
Edit: if you search ard in the galaxy 3 dev thread, there is also a kernel called dual boot.

If you want to help, you're welcome, otherwise, just get away. As you said: this is the developer's section.
I'm afraid chroot is not enough. What needs to be done is to boot a different kernel. Chrooted OSs rely on your own kernel.

Thanks. Looking into it. I'll ask how they did it.
I'm just about to install ubuntu over window 8 cause i was trying it out and hate it and since i already partition my HDD i decided to get Linux on it and learn more about Android. Is there anything i should install first or tips for ubuntu?

No not really. Ubuntu is the easiest of all the linux distros to get running, best tip I could give you is google everything, get on IRC and RTFM (read the ****ing manual).
Personally I prefer Fedora 14 running in a Virtualbox VM on Windows 7 x64.

Why are you using Windows 8? It's a developer preview. Use Windows 7 x64 SP1 if you want to use a stable version of Windows.

I can't get it to install :/. I tried to install inside of windows and when I try to boot it I get a red screen and doesn't go away and when I try to dual boot with a LiveUSB it hangs on here. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Hi, I am interested in starting some custom ROM work for our device. I am just looking for a little bit of direction on where to start. I understand things are a bit more complicated with our locked bootloader, but I know there is still a lot to be done. What are some good places to start tweaking performance? How about graphics and theming? if there is anything else I should know that would be great. I am not an extremely experienced programmer, but I have some experience and I am fairly comfortable tweaking system stuff. Lastly, Is there any way to get an emulater going for the A2? this would be very helpful for development to save the pain of boot loops and errors on our real device. thanks for everyone's help! Hopefully our development will take off for this phone once we get the bootloader bypass working or get it fully unlocked.

I just want to get one thing out there. If you want to develop you will NEED Linux. It makes things a lot easier than using windows.

Arch is pretty awesome if you have the patience/time to set it up. It's not that hard, just takes some work to figure it out

You'll also need a ROM kitchen to decompile ROM's, or you could just extract the zip and rezip... only problem is that if you make any major changes you need to write a new updater-script...

It's not going to happen unless you port it, and it's basically the same question as "I want ios on my phone so bad, how can I get this?
If you want ios buy an iPhone.
If you want windows buy a windows phone.
There's a reason we all don't have either one of those.

I think can port it but not entirely sure I have never done a port before but I really want to attempt it. I will need help and support and questions answered. I am a windows phone rom developer. I know I'm not the only one who wants to see this.
That's why I start this thread and ask what is the first step?
I know that we need a dump and drivers to work with. and something to cook with.
Well I suppose a windows compatible boot loader would be first then porting the drivers from android to windows this phone has full source released so your not going to get any thing new for it.
The thing would be is getting windows to recognize this as valid hardware.
Also I don't want windows 8 on my phone I have used it on my laptop it sucked making me think about going to Linux since Microsoft has decided touch interfaces are the future and made windows go full retard.

wait what? windows 8 and windows phone 8 are totally different OS's ?
why is our current boot loaders not compatible?
what is needed to make them?
im guessing your talking about clockwork recovery and twrp?

I was talking about the whole thing. The bootloader and partitions are not compatible you are going from android to the mobile version of windows 8.
You said earlier about winmo and win 8 being totally different android and winmo is also totally different.
get a launcher or theme.
thats probably as close as youre going to get if youre actually serious.
