I heard from one of my friend that we can able to install more than one ROM at a time and we can switch betwwen the installed ROMs using boot manager apps, like we can install windows xp and windows 7 in a computer and we can use both by restarting.
Is it possible to use more than one ROM at a time? If it is possible can anybody tell me the exact procedure to follow.
Thank You.

I guess, here's a way ( Saw it from somewhere )
1.Flash the first ROM and Nandroid backup
2.After complete wipe, flash the second ROM and Nandroid backup
3.Now when you want to switch between ROMs, just Nandroid restore the ROM that you are gonna use.
Try it on your own risk !!!!

So I still don't understand why people want to have more then one ROM in phone like O1. Internal memory isn't so big on that and it's not useless..

I suppose that you even can't boot in to your phone. If it is like that, try to go into recovery (vol down + home + power button combo), wipe all data and reflash your ROM.

Its not called bricked you just did things wrong. Dont spoil rom manager image.! I've been using rom manager to flash thing like 200 time not even a single unsuccessful flash, let even brick.
A brick is when phone is totally dead no logo no recovery no fastboot no adb. Just like phone without battery.
And be precise like you were on this rom and than I did this and that.... so that everyone can help u better.

2x attempted to flash CWM and two times got fastboot here. If you look @ xda, you can see that clearly there is a serious bug with flashing recovery at least, but have yet to hear anything from the developer.
ROM Manager for recovery flashing = not recommended (from me at least).

i'd write the steps again
1.) Relax
2.) Download KDZ Updater & Stock KDZ File (KDZ Updater- http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
ROM- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479)
3.) After ur downloads are done. Remove the battery.
4.) Plug In ur phone while holding ( VOLUME UP + RETURN ) this would bring ur phone in EMERGENCY MODE.
5.) open KDZ Updater. In Type choose 3GQCT and in PhoneMode use EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY . choose the KDZ file u downloaded.. and hit the launch software update button.
6.) If it fails. Go to device manager. Under Modems Disable LGE Virtual Modem or LGE Android USB Modem. and restart PC and repear step 4 and 5.This should Do the work
7.) if u're on version 2.2.2 download Gingerbreak(Search the forum) and root ur phone . Install custom recovery and flash whatever ROM u want
Thank me if i helped
Cheers
Rom manager is fixed now.

I'm currently using simply honey 4.0 rc3 and I've always heard good things about miui but it sounds very difficult to install. I have gb boot loaders so I'm not sure how to install it since they're aosp. Another thing is I've heard miui had inferior battery life to touchwiz roms so can anyone share any advice?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If u flash with gb bootloaders the external sd wont mount no big deal but I quickly grew accustomed to MIUI because its so customizable and I hated touchwiz and as for battery I flashed the glitch kernel and undervolted and I got about 12 hrs with moderate use and my battery was at 61% but I guess battery varys from person to person
Sounds good which miui and how do I backup my efs

you can always just flash the froyo bootloader if you switch to miui and you won;t have the external sd problem

Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-root-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpd-88120/
Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
