Is it possible to dual boot roms? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm going something will become available, it would come in handy.

Yes, it is possible. However, you'd have to go through the work of dualbooting it yourself since MultiROM is not yet capatible with Nexus 5.
However, MultiROM works with both the Nexus 4 & 7. I'm guessing that the 5 is not too far away.

Nexus S problems?

Does any Google Nexus S phone running AOSP Android reboot on its own like some Motorola Android phones do, or shut off unexpectedly like some Motorola Bionic phones do?
I am trying to determine if it is an underlying problem with Android, or if it is something Motorola might have introduced, or if it might be a hardware problem.
The Google Nexus S looked like a good reference phone to compare with.

Not any phones without significant issues (running a stock AOSP rom)

No problems here. It probably has to do with the fact Motorola phones requires hacked together roms because you cannot flash custom kernels.

Motorola phones reboot on their own because they can't take custom kernels?? Is the stock kernel the culprit? Under Froyo, my DroidX would reboot when connected via USB. There is reason to believe that a running app that resided on the SD card was not yielding to the unmount request, and the phone had to force a reboot as a last ditch effort to get the app to release the SD card to be mounted by the PC.
I also found this thread about the Nexus S: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...y-phone-randomly-rebooting-every-5mins-d.html

My stock unrooted Nexus S has rebooted itself a handful of times (3 or 4) in the 7 months or so that I've had it.

Thanks Matt! That would indicate the problem might be with Android and not something Motorola did.

Multi Rom Boot S III

Is there any way to run multiple roms on the Galaxy S3?
Say I want to boot and pick from PARANOIDANDROID Hyperdrive RLS14 Liquid smooth or any other one. Maybe run some off the ext SD would be nice as well. Can you do this? I search and couldn't find it, if there is a post can someone let me know. Not even sure if this is possible.. lol But would be sweet..
Thanks very much..
I would say yes, theoretically, since there seems to be enough space on the system partition for 2-3 roms. And this has been done for awhile on the iPhone (dual booting Android/iOS) but I'm no developer, so I don't know for sure
I'm hoping so. We were able to with the DROID X but who knows. It'd be pretty cool

I haven't seen an option for dual boot or triple boot. I had that ability on my nook color and always liked it.

But I don't think you can run them off of the Ext SD Card, since it's data steam is slower in the way it's mounted

They have this for the droid 3 I came from, its called safe strap and it was pretty cool for trying out new roms and not worrying about bricking but it was for bypassing locked bootloader though. You can find out about it in the d3 forum but it would be nice to have something like that since we have so many ROMs to choose from.

Used to have this on my dinc2. App was called boot manager. Doesn't work with the s3 though....

Count me in as well for this feature

Pretty sure the people who made the app stopped updating it, it was called boot manager.
I used it on my dx, bought the paid version and gave up. It wasn't really made for a locked up phone, you had to be running a cm based rom to dual boot, it was more hassle that it was worth.
Just make backups.

Nexus 5 Incoming call

Hi everyone,
I have been reading this forum for well over a year and took the plunge into trying the Android L preview on my Nexus 5 32 GB. I am loving the way the software functions on my nexus 5 except i am having one issue. The phone i installed it on is a secoundary phone i have connected with sprint. When i am using the phone for a phone call and i get an incoming call I do not see who is calling and the phone doesn't show who is calling. Any ideas?

Go back to stable releases. It's a preview release, not a daily driver (though quite stable)

I am fully aware that it is developer preview, I was just wanting to see if anyone had an idea about that bug

[Q] Lollipop?

hey'o. When do you think the developers will port lollipop onto this device? I know i takes time, I know nothing about porting or how to do it, all I know is it takes a while. I know this topic makes me sound like I'm begging or I don't know anything about how long it takes to make a port.
The phone is probably too old to handle Lollipop (duh). Just look at the Nexus 7 2012 with Lollipop. It's a laggy mess.
Not just lag, it's also work to re-partion to add more space to /system and update the kernel for api/abi compatibility.

Are you using a Galaxy S4? If so you're on the wrong forum dude. Just pointing that out.

Stock Lollipop ROM?

I just recently purchased a Nexus 5 online and it came pre loaded with Android M, which I was excited for. However with me using the camera a lot, Android M is not for me. (Camera pictures flipping, app crashing, etc.)
Can someone provide a stock lollipop ROM, or let me know if there is a way to downgrade and keep stock? I am all for rooting and flashing, but with Nexus devices it's just made for stock OS.
A flashablr tar.md5 file would be preferred because I like to use Odin, but otherwise a .zip will work too.
Thanks!

Yes, I dropped my galaxy s5 and there was no external damage, but the drop damaged the internal sound card. So all audio was heavily static.
I used a website called swappa.com to buy my new phone.

I paid $225 for a Mint condition Nexus 5. Came with box, original cables, still had plastic on the camera and screen. Came with 2 cases too. Not to mention 1 day shipping.
