So, still a faithful Atrix user, holding out for the ported ICS kernel.
In the meantime, I want to set up a dual boot setup. I use MROM as daily driver, so want to keep that on EMMC. I want to install a BLUR based 2.3.6 ROM with Webtop on the SD card (Nottachtrix or CSROM) so I can boot into it when I want to use Webtop. Is this possible, and if so, can anyone give a step by step guide? I know there has recently been a new easy dual boot system using SManager posted on this forum.
A few questions:
* Do I need a Class 10 SD Card to do this?
* Can I update Webtop apps with newer versions?
* I want to install UbunTop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281528 Is this workable on dual boot?
Hope you guys can help and we can create a useful guide from your answers.

As far as I know, you can't use a stock-based ROM on the sdcard, that one will have to go on the EMMC. I could be wrong though.
Other than that, take a look here.
This shouldn't be on the general discussion forum or the the one of help? When you have a guide done you can make a thread here.

Nottatrix on Sd works - I'm running it.
Search for dual boot and read the threads senddust just released a simple all in one solution for dual boot.
Edit:
You don't need class 10, but most people can vouch, that it is a better user experience.
Ubuntop doesn't work with Dual boot afaik.

Anyone have any experience of CSROM on the SD Card for a dual boot setup? Or does Nottachtrix have better Webtop (which is my main reason for dual boot)?

I recently bought an HTC Hero and the last several days I have been looking to "root" it and put a custom rom on it.
I have the non-cdma, european version of the HTC Hero
Firmware - 1.5 version
Build # - 2.73.405.5
I would like to root it using Windows 7 but I can do it on XP if need be but I have been reading so many different things on you have to have this firmware version or this build number on this operating system so I guess what I am trying to ask is is what would be the best tutorial to follow in order to root my Hero and put a custom rom on it with the info I have given above? If anyone needs any other information just let me know.
Thanks!

Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature. Read the whole thing through then bookmark it.
And I HIGHLY recommend using an XP machine. I wasted HOURS on my Win7, but worked 1st time on my XP one.
I appreciate the help! I've read through this guide before but I am not sure if I would have to use the "Gold Card Procedure" or not. I'll be using a 1GB Sandisk SD card if that helps.

Just start at the beginning. If it throws up errors then you will need to use the goldcard method. If you do run into problems write down what happens and what error messages you get so guys on here can help out without guessing.
I got it! I installed the Villian rom though. Is there any rom that is better?
For Android 2.1 that comes very highly recommended by a lot of people on here.
Im using MCR3.2 but its 1.5.
But have a play,... swap and change every few days. and do Nandroid backups before you switch.
Have fun.
Im not too impressed with the Villian rom... Its so laggy. Im going to try the MCR3.2 and see how that works out.
You could try mr_bang 2 beta 2, I found it very responsive and 100% functional (no gps or by issues).

OK so I have a nook tablet and I wanna root it so I can blow out the ****ty B&N OS and put on CM7 or something. Last time I tried to do the zerg script root it didn't work. Can you guys help point me in the right direction for the root as well as the install for CM7? Would I just install clockworkmod and install from recovery like I do on my phone? Also how stable is the whole process, I don't wanna brick my tablet.

Search in the dev section. There are numerous threads in there about various ways to root and install any custom rom. As far as a brick, I have yet to see an actual case of a bricked NT that hasn't been able to be recovered. (not including any kind of hardware failure)
That's the point of me asking there are several topics on the subject, I wanna sort through all the crap and get the best tutorials.

Yes, you would install CWM and install CM7 from CWM if you intend to run from internal. If Nook&Zergy isn't working for you, you could always make a bootable root SD card, as seen here:

The whole process has been trial and error. All of the information is available for the taking. What you mean to say is "I wanna be lazy and have someone do the searching for me".
Honestly, I have no problem at all helping someone. As long as they are willing to help themselves.

For starters, you'll need to sbf to 2.3.4 before thinking about flashing liberty. Look in DX2 development for the thread, I can't link you from here.
Assuming all that works out you'll want to:
Root your device using Pete's Root Tools
Install bootstrap recovery
Put the Liberty ROM on your external sd card
Boot into recovery
Wipe Dalvik, Cache, and data
Scroll down to "install zip from SD card" the hit the liberty file
Let it install, go back to the main screen, reboot and bam, you have liberty.
That is a rather general outline. I can provide more details in bursts if you need them.

Hello,
I just bought my first Android device (YP-G70). I've rooted it so I can use Titanium Backup.
Next, I would like to be able to boot from the external sd card. Does anyone have a good link
to do this? Hopefully, something clear for a newbie. I've searched with Google and have only
found bits and pieces - usually referencing Cyanogenmod (?). Do I need that or is there another
way to get an OS image onto the card?
Thanks

alright. first off, do you want to keep the Nook OS on your tablet (which means you have to run your ROM off of an SD card) or do you want to replace it entirely?

i found it easier to install CM on the internal memory, aka the eMMC chip, which replaces the Nook OS. your call though.
oh also there's a bunch of different ROMs for this tablet. different versions of android too, but IMO, anything from jelly bean (4.1) and up is pretty good. however, i've heard bad things about CyanogenMod 10.2 (latest stable version on their site) and i don't really like kitkat. if you want a really stable ROM, i like cm10.1.3 and there's a really old cm10 build that i like, it's not provided by the official CyanogenMod team though.
if you haven't noticed, CyanogenMod is the most popular custom ROM.. ever. and i think it's the one best-maintained by the devs here. you could try others too but for the average Joe Shmo (like you seem to be ) CyanogenMod is the best option.

To create a CM11 SD card, you can adapt the procedure outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098419: in steps 4-6 and 9-10 just substitute in the appropriate SD-based version of CM11 and corresponding Gapps zip files posted at Succulent's blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2014...droid-4-4-2-for-nook-tablet-sdcxxx-01jan2013/, e.g., cm_acclaim_11.0_25APR2014_HD_SDC.zip and pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140426a-signed-sdc.zip.
