[Q] Can we do dual boot?

It is just fascinating to try out arco's new CM9 rom.
However, as the camera is still non-functional, I am aching whether to choose between blacknote or CM9...
But can I take both? Like what they do with boot manager...

Interesting.. it can be done but I wonder if there is a Modding for this...

I found this mod for Defy

Well...
It is said on the page of Boot Manager Pro that
"BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition."
Kinda crap -.-
Well, but the interesting thing is...

found this when googling samsung dual boot
Can we just do the same thingy here?

that would be somethin if we manage to get our SGW to dual boot
like my acer aspire 1 netbook

I would be glad if I can test camera in CM9 while using ordinary camera in Gingerbread for daily operation.
Possible?

Any updates on this?

I think this is a good suggestion

I think its related to the kernel, like siyah kernel on sgs2 or sgs3 it can perform dualbooting

For this time, nope. Maybe in future someone good at linux or kernel imaging deciding to using our phone and build a kernel hehe.
As far I can see now, there is not much kernel for us. In gb is cowithgun kernel based on arco work, and stock kernel. In cm7, oisis try to gave a hand. But in ics therevis only one kernel brought by arco

[Q][Devs] Ubuntu Phone Os

Hello all.
Do you think it's possible to work on an Ubuntu port from nexus 4 for our devices?
Maybe someone is already working on it. If yes could you tell us please.
Thanks you devs for your hard work!

Maybe image from n7 would be easier to port since it is tegra 3...

all i can say would love to se this tested out due to the Nexus 7 sharing the tegra 3 but there is alot of other issues at hand that may be different but the dev have made wonders of previous things.

Yes I agree with you. Deva are really goods here. I'm a noob in Linux dev. So n7 image is ready to download it's why I asked this question... I would like to try but I don't want to brick my phone... But I'm really interested to try Ubuntu...

An official porting guide will be availllable at 15pm... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

We want to see ports for our HTC One X Some developers already ported it to SGS3.

I think is better wait for a port when radio and other works.
Because, the first image, have the radio off, kernel is unstable and a lot of pics are fake

To anybody else trying: can you get the "phablet-dev-bootstrap" command to work? 'Cause I can't.

I'll try at home... Work in progress for one x+... Maybe it's will be easier to port it...

Sorry for question but i'm interesting: why port a pre-alpha release when don't work anything?
I think in 2 months there are new release with a stable kernel and with radio on

Because of.... I need it! I want to give it a try and most probably, whenever it becomes a bit more usable, we won't have to start everything from scratches.
I'm trying to do something with the port, can't assure anything... no enthusiastic comments please!

It was an info question
I think is better take a port when it will be more usable but we are free and my it was a question!

So, i think radio is important, because you can use wifi and signal network...

Defy Pro Rom

So, I've got the ugly duckling of the Defy line(but I love it), the Defy Pro XT560. I was able to root using some adapted steps from a Motorola Motoluxe procedure(http://bruno.tuy.com.br/blog/?p=173, not in english). I'm wondering if anyone knows if this would mean there's a chance the phones are similar enough to possibly, maybe, someday get an updated ROM on the thing?

Similar? Not. Screens are not similar, hardware keyboard. I dont think its possible cuz of the screen resolution. It will be a pain in the "face".

I don't know enough about it. Apps seem to work fine with the resolution...is there a good guide for rom cooking somewhere? Maybe I'll play around myself since I doubt I can find anything that'll work with the phone.

Most of the apps are able to run on many devices cuz they support different resolution. It has nothing to do with the ROM.

What is the fundamental issue with a different resolution?

Check some ROM porting guide. Its written there that you have to choose ROMs with the same resolution cuz it will be easier to port. It means that u cant use the same ROM on 2 different phones with different resolution.

I have a 2ndinit CM 7.2 port just about complete. Everything except the camera works and I'm pretty close on that. This is using stock kernel, I have not looked into 2ndboot yet. I'm also waiting on the kernel source from motorola. If there's intrerest still, one I get the cam working ill post it.

Yes, we are very interesting with CM7 ROM - I had used it on my ChaCha and it was very nice. But, I believe that if I want to install custom ROM, I must have CWM Recovery (custom recovery) already installed, isn't it?
Sorry for my bad English .

CWM is installed using the Bootmenu installer. Right now I am running CM 7.2 off my SD card so I can dual boot. To access bootmenu cleanly I am currently using battery_charger mode,but, I have been able to get into CM7.2 using the first run service vpnmanagerpm. also. I still need to get the camera working, but, hope to have something up soon.

OK, if you already have running CM7.2 on Moto Defy Pro it's very good news, so one problem is camera, isn't it?

Excited to see this. Definitely still at least some interest.

Yeah, cwm works using 2ndinit. The rom is pretty stable, but, I still have not got the camera going. I'm closer though Everything else works and runs really fast off the sdcard. If I'm stuck too much longer, ill take a break and get a version without the cam posted.

not all of us can post there
maybe you should look into particulars(and post them) about instructions in number 2 and installing 2ndinit

Ok, sorry about that. The bootmenu installer takes care of installing the initial 2ndinit for you. The rom has 2ndinit built in for future boots. You just need to connect your rooted phone and run the batch file.

maybe others can say something
tryied with and without adb, with and wihout drivers, with two different phones and with 2 xp pc.
maybe something is't right with installer, or it is necessary use other os or to install something for it to work?

The installer needs to access adb. So either set your path to include the adb location or copy adb to the same directory as the installer script.

[ROM][April13][KitKat][4.4.2] Beanstalk | Release 5 | bravo System wizard stop work

@Chromium I flashed the release 5. And i made how you say:
-flash the room
-boot
-flash gapp

After that Sistem wizard is stop working. What can i do please help @Chromium

Are you sure? I tested a few times and it worked fine. If you do a full wipe, flash the rom and boot it up is everything ok? (no gapps yet)

Ok, i was just talking to someone that was having the exact same problem as you and it turned out that he wasnt properly doing a full wipe.
You need to format everything other than the sd. In 4ext the option for this is in wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)
Make sure you do this.

1. Users arent really having to go through much trouble. The only difference now is that you need to reboot in between flashing the rom and gapps.
2. By slightly breaking the setup wizard, I seem to have been able to fix the WiFi bug where it would get stuck turning on. I would rather have better working WiFi that I constantly use, than a perfectly working setup wizard which I only use once. Im sure the majority of other users feel the same.

you're right. I just said. Don't be mad on me :|

VPN Issues
Greetings, I have installed Beanstalk 4.4.2 on my 4 years old Desire just few days ago. So far so good, it is great, fast, it really revived my smartphone. But ...
What is the reason no form of VPN works on it? I have some prepaid solution and its app doesn't work. OpenVPN doesn't. PP2P/L2TP solutions don't work. Is it system bug which needs fix or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for answer.

Sorry to ruin it for you but camera will not be fixed with K3 release, if it will be released anytime which I highly doubt anymore. It is a matter of unreleased sources and libs by HTC, so the best we will get is what we already have, camera-wise. So long story short, if you want fully functional camera and video recording, GB is the only way or that chinese ICS released sometime ago.

So if I want fully functional and fast HTC Desire I should go for Mild Wild or pure CM? What is the difference between cm based and redux based MW? Thanks.

I would recommend Mildwild MW rom based on redux2.

They're just slightly different ROM bases. Install both, see which one you prefer
It's the best way to find out, unlike recommendations without justifications as above..
Remember you can maximise space much better with either of those ROMs as they into smaller hboots
CM version will fit into cm7r2, redux should fit into oxygenR2, check the threads.

Still working on the S-OFF method?

What kind of ROM are you building ? Aosp or sense ? and what are the prerequisite the phone has to have in order to test ? (Since there's no s-off yet I guess some other things have to be done)
My girlfriend has got this phone and its slow as hell so maybe I can be a tester with her phone if its still usable afterwards but I think she'd agree anyway cause the device is making her crazy also I can only start testing after august 6th cause we're on holiday right now

I would be happy to help you guys with testing any ROM. Still Desire 300 can be only S-ON. I hope you are going to compile AOSP ROM. Also i got request - If you are really going to make AOSP ROM would you use Linaro 4.9 by @Christopher83 , @JustArchi optimizations, -O3 optimizations, Link Time Optimizations. Lets get this phone working again because with stock firmware is just awful.

Well this is not Desire 310 but desire 300. The Desire 310 has a MediaTek Quadcore SoC with 1.3Ghz and 1GB ram, running a slightly modified AOSP rom. I can tell you this device HAS to be faster than the S plus of your sister. It is, check it. There currently no ROM available for 310 because of the Mediatek SoC. It's rootable via Framaroot using the Boromir exploit. DO NOT FLASH ANY ROMS, THERE ARE NONE
