I think it isn't possible because of changes in hardware.
Y would that matter? We have kk for a2

Jdog, you should give it a try. There's a tutorial on porting in the development section.

yeah because all of them are ported from similar devices
So I have the 5.0 ROM from the n5 and I'm willing to give this a try. Anyone willing to go in with me on this?

Even 4 yrs old Motorola Defy (+) is also getting Android 5.0 Lollipop port :silly: :angel:
Well i hope that android L will be accessible for Atrix2 this year, may be through unofficial CM12……
I am sure our wonderful A2 devs will bring the Android 5.0 on our Atrix 2 .
Even a years old 800 mhz single core OMAP driven Defy had got Android 5.0 then why not Atrix 2!

Not at all, in fact it's not compatible with flashing any rom after ICS, else you're sure to soft-brick. It's much older and unmaintained so it's virtually the last recovery we'd need for anything new.
Aside from that, I haven't done much about Safestrap since the last time. I've had a pretty busy week this week, and lately have been attending other matters so no sense in being impatient.

So Razr now have 4 LP ROMS but they are unstable I guess Edison is waiting for their stability
What about converting RAZR new safestrap to atrix 2? We could then flash rsdlite back to stock, install new safestrap, and port a 5.0 rom and flash? Suppose its obviously not that simple but an idea since 5.0 roms dont seem to work with bmm

Hi All, here's the use case: I use my phone for work quite a lot, so I need a stable, fully configured version running during working hours (this is, my curent rooted-stock 4.1.2, but also I want to play with other ROMS and possibly in the future migrate from my main stock ROM to a custom one.
I've read that it was possible to dual-boot on CM9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774795) and that for other S3 (I9300 and I9305) there's a kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686) that allows multi-boot pretty easy.
Now I want to know, is it possible and is there a good totorial to dual boot in an updated Verizon S3 (I535VRBMF1)?
Thanks

No as none of the kernels has a dual boot option.
As mentioned it's not possible. Next best option is to nandroid and restore as needed

Is it really impossible? Back before the bootloader was unlocked we were using kexec to theoretically do the same thing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
No isn't possible with this phone since we no longer use kexec and pretty much all of the custom kernels don't have any dual boot option.

I'm positive. The best and closest thing we can do is backup ROMs and flash back and forth between them... but actually dual booting won't happen. It has something to do with how our phones boot up... I've read the explanation somewhere.

Hmm, I'll have to look for that explanation. It would seem to me that someone could build a kernel with kexec again and multiboot kind of like Tasssadar did for the Nexus 7. I realize it's different hardware than the N7, but seems it would be doable since something similar was already done once-upon-a-time on this device.

There were certain kernels that could dual boot for an S3, but from my understanding, not for the VZW S3 (I could be wrong here, or just wrong entirely). I really don't know much about kernels and hardware, but maybe it has something to do with the lack of hardware that a VZW S3 has compared to the others. Quite possibly the processors since the VZW is actually only a dual core? Not sure if that would have anything to do with it. Lol.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Dual Boot has definitely been achieved on the Verizon Galaxy S3 via kexec. It was how we were able to get around the locked bootloader. Once it was unlocked however we no longer needed it so it was dropped. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28809516
I for one would definitely donate to any dev that was able to come up with a working solution (like Tasssadar's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403)

I really hope so, as I'm avidly google searching every day to see if it has been announced for getting Kit Kat! There are 2 reasons I believe we should get 4.4;
1. Google owns Motorola now
2. The A2 meets the minimum required 512 RAM that is needed to run 4.4 :thumbup:
All I can say is keep your fingers crossed and hope we don't get the galaxy nexus treatment.
Sent from the Ace's MB865 using xda-developers app
Highly unlikely. Google is not releasing kitkat for the Galaxy Nexus which is based on TI OMAP architecture, so the odds of the Atrix 2 ever seeing a stable build are very slim.
Plus hashcode is no longer supporting any OMAP based Moto phones https://plus.google.com/111109372727398356624/posts/MywYxxxzJaD

Naa no chance of an official OTA for 4.4 but the Atrix HD might get the update according to At&T........

Yep, that's true and as for the custom ROMs, altered mention he'd try to build SlimKat soon and the Razr guys just got CM 11 alpha. :thumbup:

CM11 is 4.4. To update to 4.4, just do the same thing you did to get CM10. EXCEPT, you need to update your recovery (in the op of the CM11 thread) and the newest gapps (also in op of cm11). Just follow the instructions of the CM11 thread and you'll have it! Keep in mind, CM11 is in the early stages, so there will be bugs. Need anything else, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi guys am using Nexus 5. And i have rooted it and flashed liquid smooth ROM. Now my concern is that wil i get lollypop update automatically as soon released by google? or should i haave to flash factory default ROM?
1. Does not belong in General section
2. There are threads regarding OTAs which can be found in the first thread of my signature, which is a sticky
3. There are dedicated Lollipop threads
4. No and yes
Why do people think they will get an ota from Google when they are running custom firmware?

Because they have no idea what they're doing. Why would anyone flash a custom Rom when they don't know what they're doing? That's what gets me.

Are you also concerned about updates when there are new versions of SlimROM? Or Paranoid Android? Cyanogenmod? You shouldn't be because those are ROMs that you're not currently using. In the end, the Google image is just another TOM.
Please follow the rules before opening a new thread.
Any Developers or people who's working or done with the lollipop 5.0 rom for infuse? I just want to experience the new material design.
They have said once beanstalk is ported they'd give it a go.

I'm working on it, could be interesting if we can use this kernel on our device
https://github.com/hak86/android_kernel_samsung_aries
since infuse has 2.6 kernel and required a lot of changes to make lollipop
I am unsure about specs but you might visit the Samsung Galaxy player 4.0 and 5.0 forums, they are at least same gen devices and I saw lollipop is built on it.

Is there any progress on Lollipop for the Infuse? Still using mine. Thanks.
Lollipop is a ram eater. I tried it on the razrm and it didn't go well. Wound up reverting to kitkat. I'm sorry but at some point even if you can, you shouldn't and I think all devs are realizing this.

I think people should just run the latest that's available, or get a new phone. A Moto E is 3 times the phone the Infuse is, and can be had for $30 if you buy it at the right time. Plus it runs Lollipop out of the box. Methinks trying to run 5.0 on a 4 yr old device is near impossible.
