Dual boot

Hello to all.
My question is very simple but I think is impossible, however I ask
Is possible to have dual boot for two Roms?
For example I have opendesire and nextsense and when I want play game I boot opendesire and for all day I have nextsense.
It's possible?

perhaps make a nandroid backup for both roms and flash whichever one you wanna use? i know it's pretty troublesome but just throwing it out on the table. lol.

Thanks for answer!
I thought this but is very annoying and not fast solution
Is the only choise?

as far as my limited knowledge knows, this is the only method. but if anyone else has got a better solution, i'm all ears.

It can be done, Kendon of TeamVillain made one for the Hero via a modified (he did it) recovery, I will find you the thread and post it here.
You will need to port it to work on Desire though, might not be an easy task.

I'm not a Android programmer.
I'm an webdeveloper but I suppose that it's not enough
Any idea to make this porting?

Speak to kendon direct on that forum if you want, just sign up and pm him he is usually more than happy to help.
he knows what he did to make it work better than anyone so he would be best placed to tell you what you need to do to get it on the desire.

Is Kendon a name of an user?

Thunderbolt ROM booting on EVO --> Inc next ??

I see that the Thunderbird ROM uis booting on the EVO.
I'm guessing it could mean we could see that ROM ported to the Inc ?
Are any Dev's considering this ?

I could not find it in the Evo thread, could you point it out?

I thought the Thunderbolt was supposed to be similar to the Desire Z style of Sense, just with a few Verizon specific apps.
Am I wrong?

It's in general not development for some reason

It's very similar, but its a cdma version so it should be more stable plus it probably has some new optimization to make it faster

Save up and go for Sensation if you must.

Agreed.
If not stick with standard Desire, no S, no HD, its an awesome fone.

A little more elaboration:
The DHD or DesireS only has a slightly better processor and Gingerbread. From the perspective of a long time an dedicated Desire user (ok, almost a year is long right?), the DHD or the Desire S isn't that much of an upgrade (or at least not worth the $$$).
So, since you are already considering the hunky DHD, might as well save up and go for the Sensation.
Trust me. Look at my post count. I'm REALLY experienced in this. And I did my homework when the DHD came out. It isn't that great.

new phone...

hi there
i'm a happy owner of a HTC Desire, but i'm looking for a new phone...
after some research i focused on two device:
HTC Sensation (300€ used)
PRO:
-CPU underclocked
-Look (IMHO)
HTC EVO 3D (300€ new)
PRO:
-3D (which means better screen)
-RAM
both will remain stock for about 5 minutes..
which would you reccommend?
thanks in advance

I would only replace my desire with HTC one. Maybe also desire s.

HTC one x. quadcore phone check on HTC site
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

HTC one x is around 700€...is more than double the devices i mentioned!

From those two, id get the Evo 3D just because i find the 3D pretty cool (yet a little bit gimmicky.)
Also its going for just over £200 here which is about 230 euros i think so maybe look around and see if you get it cheaper. Ebay?

the cheapest evo in ebay is around 400€ in italy!
this (www elettrotop com/ElettroTop/SchedaArticolo.action?articolo=0128441) is the best price i've found...
just a question...
the sensation cpu is 1.5ghz underclocked to 1.2ghz...what about the evo's one?

Are you talking about Sensation XL or what? Where did you get that information about underclocking?

If I were you, I will check the XDA or other forums for your future phone. Without checking, I think Sensation would have more roms to play with. 3D phones aren't that many, only 2.

i've read somewhere that the only difference from sensation and sensation xe/xl (same hardware) is the clock of the cpu..1.5ghz for the xe/xl and 1.2ghz for the basic one...

yes..this is a point for the sensation..however i don`t like ports...maybe with the ics rollout the modding scenario will grow!!

Ye, but those are single core cpu, at least in the XL case. Sensation has dual core processor at 1.2ghz.
Basically you could consider XL as overclocked DHD.

At this point Sensation is just shy of one year old. Modding community can go only towards being worse.

Some of the desire devs, like robocik or baadnws, moved to the sensation after getting the phone. So I'm sure they'll maintain it for some time, but as quoted, it is already going to be 1 year soon. Same with EVO 3d. But for EVO 3d, if there are only 2 roms, there probably won't be more.
I'm thinking since ice scream sandwich is an overhaul of android that the HTC one, galaxy nexus, gs3 would be a good choice.
If ur only choice are those two tho, make sure there is a Rom you like for that phone. Specs and screen are nice, but you'll be dealing with the interface a lot too.

Robocik and baadnwz jumped over to the dual core scene as soon as they went retail. I'm inclined to believe that it will be the same with quads.

well...i've bought the HTC Evo 3D....
I've found a ROM that fit my needs...and maybe the lack of ROM for the GSM version will force me to try to make one for myself!

htc desire c announced!!!

hi all,
htc announced htc desire c and the specs are almost same....any devs intrested to port desire c to wildfire s....we get android 4.0.3 skinned wid sense ui 4.0
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4759&idPhone2=3777 comparision of desire c wid wildfire s

my guess is that it will take about a gig for the ROM and that's more space than we have sadly

It is possible just that we need to partition our SD Card
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

maybe possible for s-off users? since they can change the allocation of the internal memory.....maybe they could make say 800mb for rom and only 200mb for internal storage...but then use data2sd to give you space for apps etc? just an idea.
might take a bit of work to get it going though as there are some hardware differences. (i'm not a dev, so I have no idea how hard or easy this would be)

Well , if the phone has a 4GB internal memory doesn't mean at ALL that the system is more than 150 MB , the amount of internal storage is undependent on the system , but the system is dependent only by that Size of System < Free Space ... Anyways , when the Desire C is out , I want to make a hustle around here , even if the ICS itself wasn't ported , i will do my job

That'd be awesome! Hopefully a CDMA release could be worked out as well?
