I can't believe nobody is interested in this?
just checked up on it today and i see the international version is now in there for testing.
I had an app on my DX that would allow for dual boot. It was a cool idea but never quite worked right.
I will give it ago if it works.

Sounds cool - how's it work? Boots up two different ROMs?

Keep in mind this is a whole lot better and easier because we have an unlocked bootloader. The DX did not dual boot well because of the locked bootloader and did not allow different kernels.

I know some devices other than Samsung's could use an app called boot manager to do that...and I know there's one for galaxy s2. Wonder if there's one for our phone?
no, there isn't, at least not yet
Yes there is! Buy 2 skyrockets, and put 2 different Roms on them.

This doesn't work with our phone because we don't have a kernel to support it. But it may just be modifying the kernel and tweaking the app to allow functionality. But for now just nandroids seems like our only option.
Hahahahahah

Contrary to the massive amounts of ignorance pouring out. Yes, there is a way. There is also a phone that incorporates this however, our device isn't partitioned in such a way. The said device that has this functionality is a Chinese device that isn't supported on XDA.
I'm referring to the M1

Hey everyone, I recently traded my Galaxy Nexus for the GS3 and normally, I get right down to the rooting/unlocking/flashing process, however one thing has been holding me back. The gentleman that I traded my device with worked directly for Samsung and said that the GSIII that he was giving to me, was in fact a development testing device only given out to employees. I was wondering if there is a way to verify this as I know that this could be a potential gateway to future discoveries if this is in fact the case. If any of you have thoughts on this then please share. I've been itching to scratch this flashing bug of mine -_-
Could you post a screen shot of your device "about section"

This is what a test phone from HTC looks like.
If this person's claims are true, you should go to the IRC and chat with the devs there.
They could possibly find useful information before you get to using your device as normal- again, assuming this is true.
Yeah I think I'll do that. Will keep you guys posted if anything interesting comes from this

How do you become a phone tester? I've always wondered because that would be sick (I'm assuming that's how you got them).

I don't think so. Just the video playing while doing other stuff.

It might be possible since they both have similar touchwiz framework.

Are the specs for it demanding? Don't see why not since it came in an update for that phone.
The S3 is more than capable of handling it IMHO.

Not really a big deal but it would be cool to see on our skyrocket. Our developers are so awesome so it wouldn't surprise me to see it. Getting it on nexus 7 and would love to have it on both.

Honestly probably not; and I think it's a gimmick at the moment. A phone entirely controlled by gestures? Sounds great in theory, but not great in practice
I guess I'll find out soon enough on my nexus 7.

It gets open sourced on the 21st so anyone can take a shot at porting it.

one word: BB10, blackbery's new os is entirely gesture drive
but we don't have enough devs for a port of something like this, its massive... I truly believe that unless a device with similar chip set/CPU gets it we likely won't. Don't get me wrong our devs are great, just few
Would be nice, as would Firefox OS but i'm more hot for Ubuntu for Android as that would finally rid me of having a technically unnecessary pc
I use a gesture based OS on my blackberry playbook daily. It is incredibly smooth when done correctly. If Ubuntu does it correctly, then I wouldn't mind having it ported. If it's done badly, then it just wouldn't be worth it.

True, this leads me to believe it won't be as hard as people are thinking to get this to build yes it will involve a lot of work but I'm not thinking its going to be some herculean task.

I was reading it and cannocal says it's supposed to be easy to port. I just hope our phone will be able to run it smoothly. It should but I guess we'll just have to find out.

Working on porting it now actually if git servers ever decide to sync.
I hope it's easy to do. I love android but I've always wanted to try a different operating system. Not gonna make it permanent but it'd be cool to use sometimes. Anyone know if you can back it up with recovery and restore it later? I'll ask over in the nexus 7 forums as well.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.
Cannocal has already made a flashable zip for the nexus devices. You have to fastboot flash a .img file.

Anything is possible, its just a matter of how much we want it.
If we have lock screens from HTC and Blackberry phones, I'm pretty sure we'll get the latest Samsung one.

There already is a S4 system dump so i hope its much sooner, maybe two weeks. Whichever dev posts it first will have a lot of donations coming their way i bet

Really? I'm not sure your subtle hint at enormous riches for the dev who puts it out first will make the development move any faster?
Also,
The fact that we have a system dump from the International version will have little to no impact on our phones, aside from a few mods.

What's different on the S4 lockscreen?
I think he means the widget lockscreen, and if he is that's actually the whole 4.2 version port not just the lockscreen.
