This is a pictorial guide and select what is highlighted (either by recovery selection or green box)

If I understand correctly, the difference between True Dual Boot and the normal Dual Boot that comes stock is that stock allows only the same firmware to be installed in both partitions, while TDB lets you have, say, MIUI in System1 and AOSP-based ROM in System2.
Is that correct?

Yup.

The other difference is that both the systems have a common data partition before the tdb

@arnabbiswasalsodeep
Does enabling this features wipes data??

---

That depends
If you choose to wipe data then it will wipe it
I moved my data
But beware! Once enabled then disabling it might cause some problems (you should have the same os installed on both systems)

Go to data and mounts
Selected wipe system 1 (your preference)
By default when you will enable tdb, I'll suggest you to move data to data 1 and install any other rom in system 2

v6 BETA is a dev rom so its pre rooted.
Just install super su from playstore and then go to security>permissions>root permissions
give permission for root to super su and then enjoy the root.

I think you forgot to tell him that it's not possible to have Miui on system1 and CM on system2. All AOSP roms should be installed on system1. Keep Miui on system2.

Any Solution Pls!!

PS I read that TDB is still half baked and causing issues, shall I go ahead?? Also will someone throw light on how do you keep switching OS's after enabling tdb and is there any boot menu??
