Hi,
It just came into my mind. Since we can have custom recovery and android recovery also boots, can we have multi boot option in Defy as like in a PC's
Good question ..............i think there is no answer for this question

some resources would have to be used by both ROMs..
with the current hacks it can't be done easily.
i guess some way of ramdisking the shared resources will have to be used.
basically, if you think about a hack for defy ask first:
can it be done in a completely open (=bootloader not locked) phone like nexus ?
if yes, ask:
is it WORKING?
if yes also, so maybe it can be done.
nevertheless, it's easy enough to create a script to backup & restore NANDROIDS.
but then every switch between roms will take like 25+ minutes, so it won't be a real multiboot.
Somebody at one point on the desire was working on something like this. Run rom from nand and other rom from sdcard.

I think there are two possibilities for this to happen: first of all, we should try NAND boot for the primary ROM, and try somehow to load the secondary ROM from the internal memory (it'll be faster than the SD Card, I think). The problem here would be allowing the bootloader to read from internal memory instead of NAND. I know this can be done based on the number of WinMo-Android and iOS-Android dual boot solutions, with a menu to choose which system to load, in the boot screen.
The second option is the method used by Wing Linux to run Android on old WinMo devices. In this method, you MUST boot in WinMo (or, in our case, in the primary ROM), then open the app that loads Android (the secondary ROM, for us). Android does NOT run emulated in this method, but, since the device can't dual boot directly, the app sends a signal for the device to restart running from the bootloader to the SD Card (for us, internal memory). This second option is, somehow, like the System Recovery app (not 2ndInit), that has an option that reboots directly into Recovery. So, if we can tell the phone to load from custom Recovery (which is, in fact, in internal memory, not in NAND), I think it's possible to make it load an entire ROM from the internal memory (without having to mount it everytime and waiting for the dalvik-cache to load).
However, it's surely a hard work to do.
Yes one from nand and one from sd card..........good......can we partition nand and use it both on the nand itself??
it should really work if we use virtual images or sdcard-partitions instead of system, data and cache partitions.
This can be changed in the init.rc-file(of 2nd-init).
The creator of the 2nd-init-bootmenu should implement this feature.
it is possible... just need 2 new partitions ext3 on sdcard for data and system...
you can use 2nd-boot profile in bootmenu to change dev block links and customize mount settings

even i like to know tht did u tried tht?
I managed to boot from virtual system,data and cache partitions with the 2nd-boot-option of bootmenu like ep3 said.
It was a bit difficult because android-init remounts /dev so the changes will be lost but now I found a way.
And: I got recovery working for the virtual system so you don't need to prepare your images, BUT: only the wipe and restore are working. "install zip" will still affect your real system.
My scripts need some testing but after that I will release a first version.
the multboot works for me i writed a cutsom boot sh and init.rc and woila WORKS!
NOT PUBLUC because it not works for all rom

this is a dualboot rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225179
So here is the first (very early) version of 2nd-boot:
http://www.multiupload.com/Z17M0WO3SU
Before continuing please make a backup of your phone!
Installation:
Just install it via CWM.
This will place the script in your 2nd-boot and replace the "CWM-Lastest"-script so it will install into the images. BUt can still use the "CWM-Stable" option for your normal system.
I've created 3 empty 300MB ext3-images for system,data and cache so you don't have todo that. Download them here:
http://www.multiupload.com/VY3U4IXRO1
Just copy the folder "fsimages" to your sdcard.
Usage:
After installing the update-zip and copying the files to the sdcard you can reboot into bootmenu, select "Lastest Recovery" and Restore an backup.
Please DO NOT install a ROM with a zip-file. Currently this will affect your real system.
After you restored your backup into the virtual file-system you can boot them with the 2nd-boot-option in bootmenu.
I successfully installed CM7.1 and MIUI-Pikachu-Edition in the virtual filesystem.
I uploaded a new version of my multiboot-script(v0.2)
changelog:
- "Install zip from SDcard" works now
- changed hook-method so it works with more ROM's(including ICS)

Thanks for your work.
Did the 2nd android system boots from sdcard?
Yes, but it's very flexible. By changing 2 lines you can let it boot from whereever you want.
I prefer storing it at the data-partition because it's over 1gb in size and my apps are using 200mb only.
I'm looking forward to better bootmenu-integration and boot-image-selection but for that I have to figure out how to compile bootmenu.

I released a dual boot version that uses 2nd-boot a few months back, hadn't have much time to improve it since.
I was using loop-back mount with /system and bind mount with /data since it's much more space efficient than just use an ext3 image.
Awesome job. I think u shud create a new thread for it. Dual booting cm7 and miui :O

thanq for viewing ma thread.. i moderate noob cz i researched many things about rooting, flashing, etc., but still i have some confusions..
basically i rooted my htc explorer with jaggy rooting tutorial. so now i want to flash with [DEV][ROM][ICS][4.0.4][IMM76L]Unofficial CyanogenMod 9.1 for Pico Build#9 {3/11/2012} rom.. buti have somedoubts pls kindly clarify me..
1. is there any problem with cm9.1. i read that it drain in half a day even in normal use.. is that true..
2. now i have Yannou's recovery..can i flash thru that..
3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashin?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 rom zip file to sd card.
4. i read that partition can also be done with recovery menu.. is that true. if yes. how to do that.. i read partition for s2e(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859691- here) what about link2sd.. can we partion for link2sd by(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29724634&postcount=3 ) with that can we do.. will it work for cm9.1.
5. i read instruction for for flashing cm9.1 rom. there are two different methods which one to follow.
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Htc Explorer/Pico, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible! (metioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29938916) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33608084&postcount=2897).

Guide
Hey there
1. The battery life depends on how you use your phone. If you’re connected to a 3G network all day while playing or watching videos, the battery won’t last that long. For casual everyday use, the battery is great. I didn’t charge it for 2 days once
2. Yes, you can flash through yannou’s recovery but it would be ideal if you flash CWM recovery since it’s recommended. If you partition your sd card, it will be automatically formatted so its best if you back up your data, partition the sd card and then copy all the files. You can partition using CWM and then install Link2sd which, when opened, it will prompt you with the file system of your sd ext. Choose ext3 and reboot. The partition itself isn’t needed for cm9.1 but you can you a2sd scripts if you’re partitioned.
3. To flash it, download the rom and gapps. Put them in the sdcard. Then boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, go to advanced -> wipe dalvik. Then install zip from sd card and find the rom. After you flash the rom, flash the gapps and reboot. Give it a few minutes since the first boot takes some time. And there you go

No, no, stick with yannou's! Official cwm sometimes give's mounting issues with our phone, and sometimes if you drain fully your battery you'll get in to adventure.
Yes flashing process is the same, basikly everything is the same as cwm
Install ROM Manager on your phone and the first option should be to install Clockworkmod Recovery. Follow the instructions on screen. I'd use yannou's recovery though.
Yes, the instructions are the same for yannou's recovery.
And yes, I've used cm9.1 for over 2 months. I'm using HTC sense 4.0a rom by derefas right now

its depends upon Ur need man. If Ur going to use internal memory increasing script u must have an 2nd partition in Ur SD card. ext2/3/4 is depend upon the memory script and ROM Ur going to use..
My Suggestion:
Try m2sd script with ext4 partition its work like a charm.. but i read from some post ext4 will damage SD sooner. but perform better. i am always need performance. but i am sure that till now no damage or performance issue occurred in my SD card as well as phone.
before or after partition is ur choice when u need partition u do it. But some ROM need 2nd partition while flashing be careful on that but cm9.1 doesn't need any support from sd card

3.install ROM zip then install GAPPS zip.
4.Then reboot..
5.wait until u get the home screen.. first boot take some time so be patient
6.After that leave Ur phone for a minute then once again restart Ur phone.

edit :
im unable to figure it out abot s2e scripts, int2sd scripts.. so please tell me actually what are those and how the linked with ext2/3/4 partitioms..
Its simple if ur using recovery for partition u will lose all the data in SD card. So use mini partition wizard tool for make partition.. after or before flashing is does not matter if u going to add memory script then partition memory card... then add the rom zip then flash it..

As much as i remember, Older builds of CM9.1 had battery drain problems. It has been rectified in the latest builds (Aleast have been rectified in build 10 and 11)
I say you go for CM9.1 Build 11 by ayushrox. I am using it right now. I run my phone with extensive Music usage for 1 and half to 2 days. I have once kept my phone running without charge for 3 days. Right now as i type, i am off the charger for 12 hours, still i have 55% battery remaining, this is good for me, as i use an always on internet.
I never used CWM. I use a different recovery (i dont know its name), and i flash using it successfully.
I use Link2SD with a partition i made BEFORE the installation. I use Minitool Partition Wizard to create partitions. It is for Windows.
I always ask people to do a clean install. This would eradicate any issues in the future.

I never used Mount2SD and never will, cos link2sd works well for me.
Here is what i did:
1. Partition microSD with format ext2. (I used Minitool Partition Wizard for this. A freeware program for Windows)
2. Insert it in the phone, download Link2SD from Play Store.
3. Open Link2SD, it will prompt you to select your partition type. Select ext2.
4. Link2SD will create a mount script and ask you to restart the phone. Do so.
5. After restart, go back to Link2SD, press menu button to open menu.
6. Open "Settings". Make sure "Auto link" is ticked.
7. Exit Link2SD, do a restart.
Thats it! now whenever i install an app, Link2SD sends it to the partition automatically.
Sometimes you may get a phone memory full notification. In that case power off your phone and on it again.
EDIT: all this was done with CM9.1 previously installed.
So what are steps to install cm9.1.
Is it necessary to clear dalvik cache.

Hi,
First of all, thank you a lot for all the development effort that has been put in to bring the AOKP ROM up to this fantastic standard. I have been using the ICS AOKP for quite a while, and just switched over to the JB ROM. It feels a lot faster and smoother, thank you!
I have got a question on Link2SD after flashing this ROM. Apologies beforehand, if this is not the forum to post that. I had used Link2SD while on ICS to move most of the apps to the SD card. Now after flashing JB, Link2SD does not re-mount the SD card secondary partition. I selected all the options mentioned (ext2/3/4/FAT) but it fails to mount with any of those options. So I'm not able to re-link any of my apps. Does anyone know how to fix this and get my apps back?
I also tried the following as per suggestions in some of the threads: 1) mounting it in recovery: not working; gives the message error mounting sd-ext (2) deleting some of the apps like Downloads and Email: still not working even after deleting those two apps.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I never had any problem with link2sd and ANY rom. Im on CM 10.1
Till ICS it was easy to directly download and flash roms and Gapps.
But JB roms need trimming.
What i do is.. after a clean wipe I flash any JB rom. Then remove unwanted apps.. Instal Link2sd..
change few minor system apps to user apps (not recommended, if you dont know.. what you are doing).
After linking these apps.. I always have enough mem for Gapps.
In Gapps also you have few apps which you can convert to user app and then link it.

My issue is now fixed, but in a hard way. Formatted the secondary SD card partition, and then Link2SD automatically recognized it. All the apps are gone, but at least I got the secondary partition active. Spent another half-hour downloading all the needed apps again from the Play store.
Link2Sd not working for me on CM10.1 Rom
I am using TouchWiz JB V2 Rom
I have tried ti install int2Ext+ (CronMod Fixed version fro 4.2.2) Still no luck
Also installed Link2Sd but it gave
Unable to create mout script error
I partiotned my sdcard using recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6) (it created Ext3)
Then (Delected the sdext partition using "Mini Partition Tool Wizard" then created new partition for Ext4)

Hi
І have also had the problem.
I removed the system software of Google voice search, voice dialing, search . (Titanium Backup / un-install all user & system apps)
format ext2 or ext4.
Run Link2sd
Apparently there was no room in the system or chmod / chown

I tried formatting ext2 and ext4, no result was not, error mount script.I knew it or not enough memory or wrong permissions set.
I mentioned that Titanium Backup can delete system apk you need to unmount the partition.

The standard and not-really-necessary idea of doing a factory-reset wipe when flashing is the problem here. I also had that zong my sdext making it read-only and nothing, nothing except re-partitioning the sdcard helped.
not working !

I have a problem , I've tried to partition sd card with cwm, minitool partition , tried ext 2,ext 3 , ext 4 , flash again ROM , install first link2sd , recreate mount scripts every time i change the method but no matter what i do , it keep telling me that the 2nd partition is not mounted and wont let me recreate mount script .

Hi,
First of all, thank you a lot for all the development effort that has been put in to bring the AOKP ROM up to this fantastic standard. I have been using the ICS AOKP for quite a while, and just switched over to the JB ROM. It feels a lot faster and smoother, thank you!
I have got a question on Link2SD after flashing this ROM. Apologies beforehand, if this is not the forum to post that. I had used Link2SD while on ICS to move most of the apps to the SD card. Now after flashing JB, Link2SD does not re-mount the SD card secondary partition. I selected all the options mentioned (ext2/3/4/FAT) but it fails to mount with any of those options. So I'm not able to re-link any of my apps. Does anyone know how to fix this and get my apps back?
I also tried the following as per suggestions in some of the threads: 1) mounting it in recovery: not working; gives the message error mounting sd-ext (2) deleting some of the apps like Downloads and Email: still not working even after deleting those two apps.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi, you can do one of these things, by adb shell run e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 to your second partition or using gparted run a full check of second partition of your SD card in a computer card reader, after that will work. I have the same problem, but in my case i have to do this procedure EVERY DAY because at next start the read only problem starts over... ANY BETTER SOLUTION APRECIATED !!!
After factory reset, I had a read-only ext4 partition. Had to start over.
Common cause of link2sd not creating its mount scripts is too little room on /system. Try adb shell df | grep system. Need a few meg. If this be the problem, need to trim the ROM.
Can,t understand ... How to Do it In Micromax A27...in custom Rom
tell me how to do it in Micromax A27 in custom Rom Dreamboltxv2
A lot of separate issues here and in various threads:
1. Sd-ext read only after factory reset. I never do that. Had that very thing happen. Save all data from partitions to computer, repartition and copy it back.
2. Not enough room on system to process/form mount script. JB and onward, ROMs need trimming. > 3meg needed, 9meg should be plenty.
3. No room on data. Link2sd can still work and fix that. If sdext can be mounted, that is ... and a launcher can live long enough to get to lin2sd and start it!
4. Other errors creating the mount script. I am now getting "device busy ... maybe ext4 not supported ... try vfat ... etc." Ext4 is supported. I have a copy of the script which I can place myself.
5. Data integrity problems in Kitkat based ROMs. Repeated recreation of dexes on data, using it up (Link2sd's Achilles heel). Sometimes, recreating that script can stop this. If one can get it re-created. Issues 3, 4. Link2sd can get the space back, problem is keeping it.
I have raised the issues with Link2sd authors.
Need help and can't post in the thread required because i'm new. I installed explorerman's rom xenon system http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048312 which installs great but after install and rebooting several times I still have an internal storage issue. I have a 32gig SD partitioned with a 4gig ext3 partition, when the rom boots I get an error about internal storage then I get an error about the m2sd app saying the script is either missing or out of date. I follow the instructions and update through m2sd then, after a few minutes reboot the phone. Next it still say's the internal memory is full, 1mb free and m2sd still showing errors with no data moved to the sd-ext. I tried a 4gig sd card with a 1 gig ext3 partition but still the same problem.
I am doing as said and wiping dalvik cache etc. I have a backup of the ONLY rom that works which is based on android 4.03 but I want the original setup back on the phone so any help needed and please, no stupid comments or immature comments as I have seen from some posts here. i'm not a child but at the same time I am not a tech-head, thanks.

I wouldn't know how to, I just trust the developer and since the rom does everything I wouldn't know where to look. the last time I tried editing a rom zip, it wouldn't install because it didn't match the original signature of the zip file. Also, because I am a new forum user, I can't contact the developer directly for some help.
Make 1 gb partition(Enough)! As the script uses 100mb of internal for every 500mb sd-ext....so making 3gb is useless.
Plus while configuring the app disable safe mode and see if that helps

Will try that, thankyou
Nope, didn't work, wiped the SD card and made a 1gig ext3 partition, also disabled safe-mode as suggested, still loads EVERYTHING to internal memory with 1mb left, it also comes up with a busybox error and a script error on first boot. I went into M2SD and set apps, data and delvik to use the sd-ext partiotn and waited, nothing, so rebooted the phone, nothing. All with the same message of 'The current status does not match your settings for this option' under Applications, Data and Delvik Cache, also 'Could not set the sdcard readahead' which is set to 512 as default.

Why you don't install cm10.1 beta 3. Its great and cool and stable to. Based on 4.2.2. Android os install link2sd and make both partition of fat32 by mini tool and don I have this problems when install the ROM you have then after I do this I have 8 GB SD card 1 GB fat 32 partition and other for data. Alls going good smooth stable. And a have 43 app installed on my pico and remaining internal memory showing 87 mb my good suggestion is to change ROM .
And give a time to the developers of (explorerman's rom xenon system) to make the ROM best

Did all that, I always do a complete clean of the phone before I try anything but still not working. I think, because it was a T Mobile HTC Explorer rather than a generic one that there is something hard coded into it. I see through the forums so many people having no problems at all but they have generic phones rather than unlocked phones from service providers. I am not a programmer so this is just guess work and from experience, I can't even restore the phone using an RUU because it will only accept a T-Mob one. If there a way to replace the entire software on the phone then I would but it's programmed into the chips at factory level (low level) since the phone was produced by HTC for T-Mobile. If the phone had been bought directly from HTC then there would be less problems. So far, I haven't found a single rom that doesn't have some kind of problem with this phone.
Thanks for all the suggestions but I'm guessing it's time to 'pick a window' for it and just save up for a more modern phone than trying to keep this HTC Pensioner going.
Hi, I have try to read all information in this beautiful and complex forum. I'm interested to increase my internal memory space and i have try to use Link2sd, but after 2 weeks i have noticed that all memory it is full.

I used Link2SD on CM10.1.4 (Android 4.2.2) of Jenkins. I've not problems. Before install ROM need partition SD Card on FAT32 and ext4 partitions. Now can install ROM. After install ROM, install Link2SD. Open Link2SD and select ext4, wait to make script. When script make you'll get a notification that the script is done and to you need reboot phone. Reboot phone. After reboot phone, open Link2SD and in Settings check Auto link. Exit from Link2SD and it is it.
When you install applications, you can get notification that is memory full. After this notification, reboot phone and memory will be O.K.
I do all your same step, and usually after reboot i have about 70 MB free, but in this last day i have noticed that i have an icon that tell me that my internal memory is full.
My only difference from u is that i use ext3 part and not ext4, but i think it is the same.
DO u have any suggestion ?

Not to SD Card. You need try "Create link". If you can not, then it means that the link has automatically created.

I don't partition with CWM. I do it with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I installed it on PC and I connect phone with PC over USB.

Go in CWM. Now go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Flash ROM. After flash ROM again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot Phone. Wait to system up, and it is about 5 minutes.
On SD Card you need have ODEXME.apk. Download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157251
Install Root Explorer. Open it and copy odexme.apk and paste it in system/app. Made Permissions for this .apk (rw,r,r). Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone go in Applications and click on this Odexme.apk and follows instructions. Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone open Root Explorer and go in system/app and check whether each application has its odex. If have, it is it.
Now install Link2SD. Open Link2SD and select ext4. Wait to make script. When made script, you will notification than script is made. Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone, open Link2SD, go on Settings and check Auto link. Exit from Link2SD.
Before, you for Link2SD need partition SD Card on Primary FAT32 and primary ext4.
