[Q] Dual Boot iOS and Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Kindle Fire and a Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate, my phone is rooted and my Kindle Fire is running ICS 4.0 and rooted (of course). I have seen people run Android on the iPhone 2g and 3g and wanted to do the same. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

If you really want it iOS like, MIUI would be the way to go. It's a pretty good ROM, I used it all the time on my SGS1 and SGS2; but I have no interest in it now, but it's definitely a good ROM. I'd check your device specific development threads for a MIUI ROM, and see what other users like (if there's more than one MIUI for your device).

I agree, MIUI is a good ROM.

Meanwhile, on android forums, straight up answer and even a nice explanation
Since iOS users can dual boot Android, I too thought maybe the opposite might be possible. Pretty reasonable for the average lamen.
Funny how you guys 'troll' noobs because they don't use the search function, yet as a result the search generate troll threads XD

I am also interested to know about dual boot ios and android.

Will atrix rom development ever be like nexus one

Title says it all. I know we already got a rom really quick but I was currious if atrix well ever get on the nexus one level with a bunch of roms and devs? Also will there be roms that remove moto blur?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Development for the atrix won't be quite like the Nexus, since that was a dev style phone.
Also, we don't technically have a ROM as it is just the modification of system files, and not a complete flashable package.
If a Nexus One like experience is important, consider the Nexus S when it comes to AT&T.
Can't afford and iI love this phone. I just want to rid it of blur or a less laggy blurr. will it at least get roms like the vibrant?

Try installing an alternate launcher like ADW, Go Launcher, or Launcher Pro (my launcher of choice) in the meantime.
Edit: Also, Moto said somewhere they will give us the tools in the future to really play with the phone, so only time will tell. If they ever keep to that promise, then we'll have nothing stopping us from really getting ROMs and Kernels out just like any phone with an unlocked bootloader.
Im sure were getting closer. I think we have quite a few developers working on trying to unlock it. Also, DG is working very hard at it too. Once it's unlocked we should see quite a few ROMs, kernels, and themes since it is atts first major android phone and the first dual core phone out.
Atrix4G Rooted!

MIUI on prime?

This may be a dumb question but has anyone ever seen a tablet run miui?
Is it possible once the boot loader is unlocked?

MIUI = IOS with a clock widget......
Ive had the a500 and the G tablet and neither had it. Maybe you can ask one of the phone dev s. I'm sure it's possible.
MIUI is far from iOS, it has some really nice features. I probably wouldn't use it but it would be great to see on the Prime.
Some tablets have had MIUI ROMs hacked onto them, like the Nook Color and Kindle Fire, but they were gingerbread versions. I don't think a properly tablet optimized version of MIUI exists.
MIUI V4 is the ICS version of MIUI, and therefore optimized for tablets. There are pictures of the Kindle Fire running it, just google image kindle fire miui v4.
Nook color also has it.

hp touchpad and galaxy tab 7" gsm both have it too. answer? totally possible. likelihood? im not sure... aosp is always a bit tougher to get everything to work on devices that arent aosp stock. example, my epic 4g touch STILL doesnt have an official version from miui, and the port on that forum, while awesome, is still missing hotspot and video camera only works on lowest settings.
however, MIUI open sourced their code recently, so porting, or building miui based roms should be easier than ever. i REALLY would like MIUI V4 on my prime... been a huge fan since OE Evo launch
kinda bumping my own thread hehe...pathetic but now that the bootloader is unlocked is any dev looking to get miui on the prime?

Well when CM9 comes out it will make it easy for MIUI to be ported. MIUI is based from CM work.

there are 3 developers from Miui.us working on it, Project_Fien_X, leeech and wizard0f0s. That's their twitter names. They keep telling me it's coming, but thats about it lol. I have been following this for a couple of months now and I keep asking the developers questions.
Thanks for the heads up! I'll make sure to follow the progress.

Looking for helpers for ics :)

Haven't been reading the forums lately, so I don't know if somebody's already working on this, but I want to port over ics android 4.0 to the nook tablet. I need one tester, but not for a little while, mainly because I don't even own the tablet.
The tester is going to have to be there when I need him and be able to report bugs, logcat, etc.
This is my first attempt at developing, so expect things to be slow
Also, if some of the devs are willing to help when I need it, that would be amazing
This is not a guarantee that you will get ics. But its a hope
I would love to be your tester, and yes some guys are already working on CM 9. They even wanna get the 3.2 kernel working...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440438 has the latest progress from ics porting (plus the 3.x kernel thread you posted).
Yeah, both the CM7 and CM9 development here are pretty closed...CM7 insists they want a polished product before release and CM9 is going above and beyond with their kernel work, but I know for a fact that they had it 90% a few weeks ago, so I don't know why the news is slow in coming.
I'd gladly help you if you need some work, I not only have a NT but I have an 8-core machine for compiling, I'd be more than happy to build from your github as well.
Hmm... Well if they're that close to being done.. :/
But, the only thing stopping me is having the proprietary libs, which I can't get without the NT.

I can't help you now, but here is some tips.
Use Clockwork Recovery, you can restore and backup and install
Use some drivers from Kindle Fire Android 4.0 Firmware, not too many though.
Rest of the options should be Nook Tablet-based. You might be able to use some Nook Color drivers, but I highly doubt it.

[Q] Bauhn (ALDI) 9.7" Tablet root (AMID-971R)

One of my mates picked one of these Aldi tablets up recently, is there anyway to root it (I've tried SuperOneClick)? It's running ICS 4.0.3
It has some truly bizaar bugs in it that I'm keen to try and fix, such as Facebook not being a downloadable app because "it isn't supported on this device"

The AMID-971R has been replaced by the twin core AMID-972XS. There are a few software tweaks in addition to the hardware upgrade. The wireless signal pickup appears to have been resolved. The new device has so far exhibited excellent wireless coverage so far. A few bugs still to be ironed out (as with any device I suppose), but the biggest "Bug", its unreliability, appears to have been nailed.

Your attachment does not work
I haven't used his root method yet, the other one works for me though. It rooted both our 971r and 972xs tabs. Updating the OS afterwards damages the root so you should update first. Root works fine done afterwards.
Should I just post a link here to the Bauhn tablet forum? Seems the Bauhn tablet is not considered a device of interest on here .
Over there, I have posted about the updating and also recovery. A custom ROM would be very easy to install. I'm not a programmer so don't know how to do a custom ROM.
Yes, maybe a link would stir up interest?
ok, I'd like to revive this thread and I've got two of these babies and now that I've got a taste for v4.1.2 I would LOVE for these tablets to get a custom rom to go in that direction.
some info I've found searching around for similar models:
Smartpad 962i
I've searched around but it seems to reside in italian forums. As for the current australia official ROM support, well their update link is dead so I'm assuming they want to drop the product in favor of the new 3g quad core tabs available at aldi.
anyhow, hope someone could shed some light on these models so all the owners can keep track of it in this thread.
