Basically, I want 2 ROMs on my phone. Stock GB and CM10
I know our internal storage is too low, but we can increase our internal storage by using Link2sd right?
So is Dualbooting possible on our phone? Has anyone tried? Let me know in the comments and how did you do it
U can increase internal memory using link2sd, but u cant increase system partition... BTW dual boot requires a kernel which supports dual booting... But for now we dont have any kernel that supports dual booting... & u cant install stock gb & cm10 with dual boot, because gb needs gb kernel to boot & jb needs jb kernel to boot, so dual boot will only support same version of android like gb & gb or ics & ics...

THis is an older thread in our very own forum
YOu might read those posts cos quite a few dependable,witty people have answered there and sadly,till date Dual Booting on our NEO/V hasn't been possible and won't be in future too (DooMLord or a dev of his level could really make it happen but Now that ain't gonna happen ,so no point !!! )

Everybody's needs & wants are different. So are likes/dislikes/expectations etc.
So if marcopolo says that he needs dualboot, I guess somebody knowledgeable on the matter needs to advise about the possibility and ways of going about it. Not push him to try a new ROM (MIUI 1.10.8 Basic, since thread # 1295089 is for it), or did bimmerrob paste the wrong URL.
I myself have tried a few ROMS - WB TW (before SE released official 2.3.3 ROM), CM7 ZMOD, FXP 028/030 & some other flavors, but I always keep coming back to Stock or it's derivatives due to one issue or another (WLOD's & restarts mostly).
I would also love to have dualboot & would try searching more on it. Will post my search results later. I've dual booted between different Windows versions & linux on my desktop & laptop for years, so why not dual boot (between ROM's) on phone.
I may be from the minority who sometimes face crippling problems with custom ROM's (since most of the users run custom ROM's without much issues). At those times, flashing another stable/stock ROM is not possible due to various reasons (not having access to laptop etc), so temporarily, switching to another stable/stock ROM would be a nice feature to have.
Dualbooting is conceptually possible and we have even tried and tested it with 2.2 ROM's combining 2.1 ROM's
so far no one tried this on 2.3.3 roms.. ITs just a matter of trying and getting it to work.

I'm on the same page as you. I'd like to test a few things out while still having one ROM that I KNOW works as the primary and boot a test ROM to see if it would even work for me.
Been meaning to research and play with the old method and modify it a bit to get this idea working but never have the time.
I'll be a guinea pig for whoever gets this in alpha.
I personally need dual boot to avoid the hassle of backing up and restoring data/apps everytime i try a custom ROM
its annoying when u are not satisfied with the new one and has to switch back to an old one
so............ guys in the ur group as well !!!

clear all market data in app manager, ics is like vista (when xp is like gb), it will be slower but nicer looking i installed xray kernel and created swap on zram disk and now it is much more smooth, almost like gb. but games still lags its ics...
rooting phone will not speed it up, if you want install custom rom, it will probably be much faster (but i prefer clean stock roms with bloatware removed and with uv kernel).
I've read that ics for galaxy nexus was build on kernel 3 based on compatibility and i was wondering if is it possibel to build a kernel 3 for galaxy ace for a better compatibility of ics and jellybean or the present kernel is enough for it..
The kernel 3.x would improve many things. But its really hard to back port it to work with our ace. So still no development in that regards.
First of all, the kernel is good enough. Secondly, the end user won't benefit much, considering that v3 is for all Linux devices, including desktops.
This has already been posted before. Use search next time.

Not really possible - Ace need some models to access internal memory, and samsung didn't give as access to they source. If we got 3.X.X kernel it will by only possible to boot it from sd-ext, and this made rom really slow.

I saw in the Galaxy 3 forums that they are trying to port kernel 3.x so that ICS can be better.
If they succeed, we can confirm that SGA is also capable of running it!
But porting it will be very tough....

module thing is true but it can be bypassed with MTD.. there was a project to get fully 3.x CAF kernel on msm7227 but its not actively developed anymore.. and our odin don't have repartition thing so it will be tricky to do so..
it is hard job but not worth doing as there will be not much of a difference to end user
Hi friends,
I am pretty new to this forum and before a couple of days i did a research regarding Flashing Kernals and Roms(Dont knw whether my concepts regarding that is right or wrong) and currently i have installed Cyanogen 9.1 for my device.Now let me ask a couple of questions i have for you guys.
1.Will I be able to update my phone and bring back to old ICS firmware via SUS once i brick my phone(I have already unlocked the bootloader via fastboot method)?
2.Evrytime when i flash the Rom(say CM9) i used to flash kernal(boot.img) for the respective rom.Is this necessary all the time?
Will i able to flash a GB rom on ICS kernal(I am afraid to give it a test)?
3.Regarding CM9.1 which i have installed ryt now,I am satisfied with the performance,but i want a stable ROM wud make me happy with a better battery life unlike CM9.1.So could you pls suggest me a GB/ICS ROM which wud have a stable performance with descent battery life.
4.After using GB for a long time,i was very much addicted with the Phone pad kinda keyboard,but when ICS came into picture everything vanished,Smartkeyboard Pro is no gud,Touchpal is conjusted,i want the exact GB keyboard in ICS.Any ideas?!!
Regards
Hazil A.M.
Phone: Xperia Ray
Bootloacker:Unlocked
ROM: GB Stock Rom
1. U need to relock ur bootloader to update ur phone through SUS
2.no need of of flashing kernel every time u flash...if its a stock based Rom u need a stock based kernel...
And u cant fhash ics on top GB kernel..
3.search around ray development forum and try some roms and choose which is best for u..
4.CM9 has a different type of keyboard..some stock based keyboard wont work...but Xperia s keyboard will work..

Guys,
I have been using codecROM for the past one month and i felt it was Superb. but i'm a viber user so viber isn't working on codecROM 9.1 so i had to revert back to stock ICS ROM. i have seen few posts regarding dual boot in Siyah Kernel. what i wanted to do now is as follows:
1st Boot: Stock ICS 4.0.4
2nd Boot : Any other custom ROM
is this possible..??
Currently my phone is Fully rooted.
also suggest me any ROM in which apps like viber which use wifi for calling will work for sure..
Thanks a lot guys i have learnt a lot from xda-developers
Great first post - not
Tip: Search for Siyah kernel

my bad ... sorry guys.. just now i came across this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 so according to tht dual boot is not supported by ICS... what if i update to 4.1.1(jelly bean)?? then how to dual boot??
Once you upgrade to jelly bean you will have to install siyah kernel, the latest version to be able to dual boot. Read through the siyah kernel thread under original android development, it'll explain everything.
