not really... we dont have enough free space on internal memory...

We only have about 400mb system space. Not enough to get 2 roms inside.

Not enough place for dual boot but, same it needs more time, you can use 2 nandroid backups

Interesting, i've never thought of that So you could switch (i.e. wait for all the eternity for Nandroid to restore your backup of desired rom/os) between two roms, and that would work ? But your kernel stays the same, right ?

can we store the 2nd rom in our 2nd SDcard partition??
coz as i know, we can link our app to there..
who knows that it might work as well withh rom..
thankz..

No you can't. Sdcard partition only for internal memory. Not for system.

Do you think we could do something like the htc hd2 guys have. They are able to boot from sdcard, its a way around getting rid of winmo6.5 for them.

Yes like des guys whit thé HTC !

What about the ext2 partition?
Can we install another rom in that?
i saw it on x8 forums long time ago ..dual boot is possible ..but somehow need a sd class 6 or higher ..but don't know if it work on 2011 xperia
but it will be hard to dual boot if using 2 roms with diffrent kernels ..thats what i thought of

I read somewhere that Doomlord had made a kernel which allows bootlooping which is required to dual boot the phone.!!!
If someone knows a good developers than we can ask him, do anyone?

Link2sd

I have realics lite rom with mesa 1.8 kernel ...i partitioned my sd to ext4 ..
whenever i link apps to my sd card ..it shows android upgrading on boot ..
really frustrating
anybody help?
My opinion you should use ext 2 for link your application..
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using XDA
That is normal to have 'android is upgrading' message. Doesn't matter if using ext1234. That message usually appears after turning off, not reboot, or after install n flash some apps.

I'm talking about a kernel which would divide the 2gb used by boot into two partitions and wouldn't touch the sd card...
Already there is very less space in sd card..
But hey, m no developer... So...

[XU] How to clean "SD-Card"?

Hello together!
After many ROM and Software tryouts I have the feeling, that the memory of my phone has become filled with non-used app-data etc....
How can I safely remove all this stuff? Is there a way, e.g. when flashing a new firmware, to remove all non-system files?
Is it safe to simply format all visible partitions from within CMW?
Thanks a lot for hints,

I think yes, but this will delete every app and system won't boot up. You should reflash Rom if you don't want to have unnecessary apps.

Factory Reset will only delete you data. You have to format your sd-card for example in CWM - mounts and storage - format /sdcard

It's not about the apps. I want to get rid of all the files, that have been created by apps and left behind even after flashing new ROM (being tft or zip from CWM)!

I can't find a corresponding option in Settings (you mean settings of running android, don't you?) ? I am on CM9 - I only find Factory Reset...
If I plan to reflash using FlashTool, I can format /sdcard and e.g. /system? Or will /system be formatted anyways?

if you want to free your phone memory,then just do a factory reset.

if you want to free your sdcard mem, then do a back up of what ever things you needed and format it..

[Devs-only][WIP][ThinkTank] Dualbooting on Xperia U

Now It's a pain in the *** to test a rom and we have to restore rom or some sort to get back to our daily rom.
And Sony Xperia S had succeeded,I'll take it as a reference and see if we can work on this.
This is not a placeholder.
Link to the Xperia S thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880305
I'll be "investigating" this.And I also need all the devs help. (I'm not really an highly skilled developer,so I would really need some help here)
Devs only please. No request for tester or users that asks for ETA. Do not post any reply unrelated to development on this thread.
Keep it only for devs,and make it clean.
Devs,good luck to you guys.
Dual recovery is needed,I'll start by porting TWRP. (I'll focus on this first)
Wow. This is kick ass stuff.
Similar to what was done in G3MOD, except that here its actually dual boot, with the ROMs installed on internal storage, while there it was implemented in a slightly simpler way by packing multiple ramdisks and extracting system.img files when required to switch between ROMs.
Considering our already existing problem of not having of an expandable storage, G3MOD's implementation seems far more appealing.
I will take a look at this soon enough.
Well I didn't store a lot of things on my device,only roms and some other stuff,my internal storage is actually more than enough.
But that method seems to be more friendly on the internal storage,as we have a lot of unused phone memory. (the place where roms are installed to)
I'll look into that too.
Edit : It seems like the G3MOD project is already abandoned. But we can look at their sources at github.
We could make it load from sdcard by pressing a combination of buttons on Sony logo! We need kernel first of all! But also a way to do it.

We're trying to dual boot different rom with different kernel
I don't believe that we can make it load a different kernel! If we could then we could also let permanently locked bootloaders to do so too! We will have to load it from a single kernel!

In the first thread,Xperia S is able to load two kernel.
why is there always have to be made for locked bootloader?
custom kernel NEEDS an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
how can you use a single kernel?via the patch?
I'll look into it first.

Don't be so offensive! What I want to say is that I doubt we could load two kernels! That's all

Wait...I'm not being offensive,but we might actually found a way to load kernel from other directory in system. (Not entirely sure if that's possible though.)

The method xperia s use is: pack one kernel with 3 kernels inside it (one kernel for the dual boot menu, and 2 normal kernels)
So it is possible to do

I have about 2GB free so it's enough.
Plus,the plans is to install the rom on phone,not internal storage (working on TWRP at the moment though.)
