I think he doesn't mean that dual booting. I think he means dualbooting between different ROMs. Like for my S3 I got Dual booting with Siyah Kernel between CM10.1 and 4.1.2 Touchwiz. For S3 you have much kernels supporting dual boot. So you just need to find the right kernel for your device. I think there are much devices having these kernels!

To tell the truth, I was not sure if it is what @siddheshvartak was looking for.
So dual-boot/multiboot only Android:
- some Xperias have a multiboot: LINK to thread
- Lenovo A390 and few other Lenovo smartphones
- Nexus 4, 5, 7 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr)
That's all I know about it.
I'm sure there is much more multiboot/dualboot equipped smartphones.

yehhh
I was talking about dual boot between the ROMs.....

Wp7 on android version of I9100

Hi guys
I was wondering if new windows phone 7 mango will be compatible with android version of I9100?
Define compatible with?
Well when mango comes to other wp7, will i9100 be able to run it?
I9100 does not support dual boot.
Windows Phone requires Snapdragon processor, so no.
Anyway, no one has manage to port Windows Phone to Android device (yet).

[REQ] MIUI for Xperia L

I think there are a lot of people that love MIUI.
I know, we already have MIUI Rom, but it`s not true MIUI, just a little modded sock rom, an it has nothing common with real MIUI.
We had not had MIUI earlier because we were waiting for working Cyanogenmod to take it as a base for MIUI.
Today we have a lot of almost fully working CM11 ROMs.
So I believe it`s possible to make real MIUIv5 rom. And I hope that great developers, who make today awesome CM based roms for Xperia L, will give us MIIUI!
they're already working on it... So if the miui rom is based in cyanogenmod, it will be just for unlocked bootloader, won't it?
We got CM11 but that doesn't mean we can easily get MIUI. Its half work done. MIUI V5 (4.5.X.X) based on Kitkat was released 2 days ago for Nexus 5 and other devices will get the build in comming days. We have to wait for MIUI to release this latest version to Redmi 1s as its nearly of same spect and chipset except display. So have patience guys. Its not that easy.
Same spect?! Lol. The only common is RAM - 1gb.
I just want devs not to concentrate only on CM mods, but for miui too.

FYI its based on snapdragon 400 and so is our XL. So, most of the things can be easily ported from 1s.
P.S.: Search for detail before commenting dude. If not then you can atleast search on gsmarena.com
its quad core while our xl is dualcore. thats a big difference bro

FYI:
XPERIA L: Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8230 - System on a Chip
XIAOMI HONGMI 1S: Qualcomm MSM8228 Snapdragon
Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 - System on a Chip
Dual Core or Quad Core doesn't matter here. What its matter is their build architecture. If you really are porting roms to these devices then they can be ported from back and forth.
P.S: Don't go for numbers study their build architecture instead.
Thanks for this information. I really hope it will help us get MIUI soon.

[Discussion] Touchwiz with android m 6.0.1 based on CM/LOS

Hello everyone !
As everyone knows that we have android 6.0.1 and 7.0.x available for Jflte devices i was wondering if maybe a jflte developer could build a rom that is TouchWiz
based on CM/LOS and have android 6.0.1/7.1.x like the rom we got earlier [MIUI 8 based on CM with android 6.0.1] by @mikussj3 .....
i don't know if it's possible to build it or port it that's why i started this thread
I hope i'm in the right section of the forum..
Thanks in advance
TouchWiz can't be based on Lineage.
And porting the TouchWiz stuff to Lineage requires a lot of work. Something that developers don't really want to do or don't have time to do it.
I may be wrong, but I haven't seen a single Lineage/CM ROM that has the TouchWiz framework.
And android 6, 7 TouchWiz ROMs can't be ported to jflte devices because ROM ports I believe have to come from a phone with similar processor type and architecture.
The only S4 that runs Android 6 TouchWiz ROMs is the klte (GT-I9506), which has a Snapdragon 800 processor. So it's similar to the S5, and that made ports possible or easier.

Guys it's not impossible to port android 6.0.1 TouchWiz to GS4 i9505 its just hard to do so. There will be a lot of code changes and stuff like that.

And even then, if some developer ports MM TW, it will be very buggy, and by the time the bugs got fixed, everybody will move on to newer devices.
Think about this way: if that would be possible, a port would already be done.

And that's the problem right there the s4 is dying with everyday passes.

I would love to see a port of the Note 7 on Andriod 5x or 7x..?

I noticed to all the ports of other phones that use TW are on Kitkat why not on a higher Android version like 5x or 7x..?
Iam using Note 7 port from E Team at the moment and that only on 4.4.4 why not 5x or 7x Android..?
CynogenMod is on 7x so why not other roms.
What you think..??

Bcuz it's not possible to use touchwiz apps on cynogenmod.
1.You cannot post these kind of stuffs in this thread
2.Since the stock kernel for above 4.4 didn't provided by Samsung,devs cannot build touchwiz based rom of lollipop or higher

There ain't any TouchWIZ ROMs released by Samsung for our Exynos chipset. (Like for the Note 2, S3 etc). All run on Kitkat.
And also if it where there i need a F2FS patched kernel for AOSP's kernel to work on TW ROMs (which uses a different file system from AOSP for higher android versions).
Else i could've made an attempt like i did for Grand Prime. (But storage will not work, then someone good at compiling kernels could help me at that).
Regards!

3. If I only want to try this OS, which device you guys recommend me to buy, just for flash the image and get experience?
4. from 1 to 11. How hard it is to port Sailfish OS till get it to work?
(im just common people with no developing and scripting skillz)
Thank you so much if you guys reading this.
