I want to dual boot on my rezound. However, what Im unsure about is if it is possible to do if the two roms require different kernels. For example if I ran a Gb rom which needs a gb kernel, and then tried to dual boot with a ics rom that needs a ics kernel. Is this possible?
I too am wondering this. I was gonna make a nand of a GB Rom and one of an ICS Rom and switch between them

I think it can be done. I am actually working on it now.
At first I was like "Uh..why would you want to do that?" but then thinking of how many times I have reinstalled BAMF (4) and tried new ROMS on top of that (4)....
That's a nice idea. I don't see it happening. But a nice idea all the same.

I am sure it can be done... Just won't be easy
Would the nand idea work since the amon recovery allows you to backup the kernel as well? Just as long as you wipe data when switching between the nands?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The reason I wanted to do it was because I wanted to be able to toy with the sense 4 roms that are unstable, without having to wipe data install the rom then have to switch back and redo my whole setup since they aren't stable. If we had dual booting the wiping data and resetting can be avoided and I can continue to check the sense 4 roms with ease.

Boot manager allows you to boot different profiles using the same ROM, not boot different ROMS.

No that's not true. It installs a completely separate rom in a partion on your sdcard and you can boot between them. Has nothing to do with profiles.

I was confusing this with something else, however... from the app page:
REQUIRES
ROOT
S-OFF
There is no S-OFF for the Rezound.
And the Rezound is not on the list of supported devices.

I saw in NilsP's rom thread that people have been working on clockwork mod recovery to see and get it working. I read that with a file copy and an advanced setting you can get backups to work. The main problem being the infamous charging bug.
Here is what is posted in that thread.
punman said:
I wasn't aware of this but when you plug the phone in, it boots what looks like a mini-recovery kernel. I suspect something with this isn't supporting the battery charge. I am going to flash back to Amon Ra and see what the differences are.
Just select "backup to external SD card" in ROM Manager Settings. You might have to enable "advanced settings" to get the option.

NilsP said:
OK here is where I am as memories come back.
If you select backup to external and set progress off it does not actually turn off progress unless you copy the hideprogress file from internal to external. The bad part is the backup hangs if you don't copy the file.
When you select install ROM from SD Card it shows what is on the internal card to select not the external.
I have not tried a restore yet but I remember if you do it from RM it deletes the boot (kernel) but can't restore it due to s-on. Gonna test that in a minute.
EDIT: Backup and restore worked fine after copying the hideprogress file
EDIT: Just had to select internal from the menu when selecting install ROM from SD Card in RM

Yep. I recovered my original GB after using an early CleanROM ICSE ROM. I think I used Scott's CleanFlash tool to flash back the correct kernel for GB.
All my recoveries have backed up flawlessly since, but I am currently only running stock rooted. Haven't tried recovering any ICS backups.

And since I bought ROM Manager while using my DInc I'd prefer to use CWM. It's a reasonable, personal choice and I've never let my batteries fully discharge, so never had charging issues.
And I don't avoid full discharge because I use CWM, I avoid full discharge because it's actually bad for the batteries.

It's amazing and annoying to see people posting almost daily on charging issues yet they refuse to use amon ra because they are comfortable with cwm.

I think I mentioned earlier that I had no issues charging. But I am also not saying that Amon Ra is bad. Just that I have a preference and that I know how to handle/avoid the pitfalls.
Interestingly, there were many in the DInc threads who didn't like CWM or ROM Manager, but no one there made snarky comments about personal choice... (not talking about you, snowride)
I think any CWM thread will just devolve like a Sense thread will. At least in the Rezound forums.

I was reading somewhere that four htc models use the same GB version, and with this being sensation, which I have held in my hand and looked through, case is almost the same and the OS was similar so I am not sure if I should just try it and see or not.

The worst that could happen is you brick your phone.
Be warned that GB development for the most part is dead now, CleanRom 1.7.5 and Ineffabilis 1.4 are good GB options though.
Cleanrom looks right and sounds lightweight, but the other has my attention with the extras, have you had experience with both?
Bricking is my first concern, not being able to restore stock Rom my second...
I would go with 4.0 or 4.1, but I like how the lockscreen and phone key UI look on the stock Rom and themes do not look as good...

I've used them both and they are both solid roms, I'd have to go with Ineffabilis as my favorite of the two.
Neither one is really supported any though, Scott who made CleanRom went to another phone, Chingy who made Ineffabilis is now supporting a ICS based version of the rom - Ineffabilis Deus. That's the one I currently use.
How does the UI look, is it the same as the stock as far as lock and home screen phone, button?

Just make sure you have a nandroid back up and you wipe all the internal filesystems before installing. If you don't like it, it's easy to wipe again and just restore your original rom. One of the great things about nandroid, it lets you try out different roms and easily revert back.
That's what I was hoping, all I backed up after I got s-off were the default items, so basically my stock Rom is safely backed up on my pc now?
Also when connected to a computer I have the same option of disk drive?

If you're s-off, the rom installer should have installed a new kernel for you. If you're familiar with fastboot, you can extract the boot.img from the rom file and flash it.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Otherwise, try installing the rom again.
Finally broke down and bought this app. Price tag is a little high considering you can get all the separate applications free, but not all under one roof. But that brings me to my question.
Have you or anyone else you heard of had issues with any of the programs in rom toolbox? Ad blocker has been a little inconsistent for me. Know he has been working on it though.
Does the boot screen changer work? Had any issues with font changer? Just want to know before I run into the same thing. Some of it is a little dangerous to run without being optimized for the phone. Especially the EVO LTE.
Any info would be appreciated. Please share any positive / negative effects you've had. Thanks!
It all works for me.. Some things such as the status bar icon installer might look a little goofy on Sense ROMs(I'm on cyanogemmod so I haven't tried it) but everything else should work. Its all mostly fundamental android tools that should work on any phone, EVO, GS3, or otherwise.

Which ROM are you running? I haven't tried it on a Sense ROM so I can't say for sure but that's all I can think of that might interfere with it. The tool basically just takes the animation and puts it into the right folder in the root of your phone.
I know on my old Hero it was stored a little different on some ROMs so that some boot animations with sounds and stuff caused issues.
Point is, its probably ROM based, not hboot related.
Edit: If you check the boot animation installer settings you can change the target of where its installing the animation. If you can find out where its installed on your ROM there's no reason for it not to work as long as you're rooted.
Edit#2: If on a sense ROM change the destination to /system/customize/resource/
And then change from bootanimation.zip to *scratch that, read post below for the right .zip name*
No guarantees it'll work but it looks like that's where its stored on a Stock w Goodies ROM I have on my SD card. I took the bootanimation from it and installed it on my paranoid android ROM and it worked so it should work the other way around.

I bought it yesterday myself. It's an awesome app, but boot animations don't work for me either, most likely due to a prerequisite of being S-OFF?

Boot animations just require root, and you have to tell rom toolbox the path/filename of the boot animation zip that the rom is looking for.
For sense-based roms on evo lte, that is
/system/customize/resource/SPC_bootanimation.zip
That filename is actually mutable. It's defined in /system/customize/CID/default.xml
So go into rom toolbox, boot animations. Then hit menu, Install Locations.
Common locations: "HTC EVO 4G"
That loads the other two settings with defaults that are closest to correct. Directory is correct, and you only have to modify the filename slightly from bootanimation.zip to SPC_bootanimation.zip

Basically, rom toolbox could read the correct values right out of default.xml. I don't know why it doesn't. Maybe the path/name of default.xml itself isn't consistent on all devices or maybe he just didn't think of it yet.

I have been using this since it first came out, bought it back on my OG EVO. It has been loads of help, and is nice to have everything under one hood.
Which recovery do you guys like best? I'm from the HTC Droid Eris/ Rezound line so I'm used to Amon Ra. Loved it. A lot of wipe options. Now on the DNA I'm using Clockwork. It's alright, just seems limited. What about you guys?
Clockwork. Only because TWRP has issues with Aroma

Twrp clockwork is ancient and slow.

Cwm doesn't wipe properly. Twrp definitely has way more options. People using cwm(typically) have difficulty flashing sense roms when coming from Aosp because it doesn't wipe the data partition enough. Definitely get twrp.

TWRP is a lot faster at making/restoring backups. I tend to avoid Aroma roms/kernels, but the ones I have tried (Viper and Beastmode) both worked fine with TWRP. I also prefer the interface.

I'm with you, i wish Amon Ra was available on the DNA. Currently using CWM, mostly because i really just don't like TWRP.

AmonRa is basically a fork from and old version of CWM.
I vote for 4ext recovery. That was imo the best for my inc2 wish it would come out for the newer high end HTC line

Twrp for sure.

That sir I'll have to disagree with. Amonra wiped way more throughly than cwm

Why is the DNA crossed out in you signature? Curious. Don't want to be losing the great Flyhalf from our development team.

Who's going to take over cm builds or will you continue to do that?

Getting the Verizon One? I shall too so I'll be following you onwards when you do.
I came from the Rezound and AmonRa too. Here it's TWRP for me. It has worked flawlessly on the DNA for me. As always, YMMV.

Haven't decided yet...but I'm excited for the One. If I had a fully functional DNA I would stay.
