BootManager
Boot Manager is the first Android Multi-Booter Application! The application installs up to four ROMs to your sdcard and you can keep one on your phone as well to allow you to boot up to five ROMs and switch between them with just a reboot. This is the must have application for any flashaholic and will finally allow you to keep up with those nightly builds we have all come to love or just boot your favorite ROMs from your favorite developers. The application is great for developers as well since you now have 5 slots for testing ROMs.

It says only supports (Motorola Droid, HTC Incredible, HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Vision and the HTC Evo 4G), but should also work on other devices while not fully supported.
Who's man enough to try it anyway?

Details of the different partitions/blocks in your phone. But once you enter that and send the mail, the app closes.
I then got a reply from them saying that the mail id I sent the mail to, was not used for support and I need to send it to a different mail id. Wtf.
Luckily, it was within the refund period, so I got my money back.

Guys,
Though i don't own a Samsung device (using DHD), but just to give u guys an idea about this wonderful app.
When it says that the device is unsupported, you can enter the info manually.
What it requires you to enter is:
1. device name (mentioned in build.prop)
2. SD info (something like /dev/block/mmcblk*p*) may very for Samsung
3. Size of your System / Data / Cache Partition (which you can check by running busybox df -h via Terminal Emulator)
You need to be rooted, Radio S-OFF, ENG S-OFF (HTC Terms not sure about Samsung terms).
You can check with the dev through this page as well:

Does this unlock the bootloader, root, and install CWM to my device all at once?
I'm new and unsure about this, please clarify if you can.
hahah whoops, prolly shoulda searched for this first
just made version 5.0 of my one click which now includes teh galaxy nexus, didnt know you were gunna go make one
edit: i like the idea of adding in efs backup/restore mind if i kang that idea from ya and incorporate it into future versions? also you should check out vers 5 i changed the code around a LOT. i got menus and super duper awesome stuff now. lot of people complained about their bootloader being unlocked already and so the script didnt work, so i made an option to install cwm and root, unlock the bootloader etc etc. its really well set up now a days too.. i also swapped out the drivers for a more universal set from samsung
So which one of your two versions should we use?

yeah it is frustrating when you don't have the target device to develop on.
please donate to sam so he can get a xoom tablet to make this app even better.

bro, the app does not take anything out of data, so it wont bring any of your personal info!
guys for latest info always check http://fcm.x10.mx/joomla/
Check out the new Logo Me app by one of our galaxy nexus developers, ezekeel, in the google play store. you can customize your phones boot logo and padlock icon. root is needed! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aperture.ezekeel.logome&feature
official app support thread on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698413
Description
APERTURE LABORATORIES proudly presents Logo Me.
With the Logo Me application you can conveniently change your device's bootlogo (not bootanimation) to a custom image with just a few simple clicks.
You can secure your custom logo with a numeric lock code (up to 9 digits). Changing or restoring the logo will only be possible after the lock code has been entered. This will allow you to tag your device by including your name and contact info on your custom bootlogo. In case your device gets stolen the thief will be having a hard time selling it. Also if you lose your device the finder will know how to contact you.
So far the following devices are supported:
* Galaxy Nexus
* Galaxy-SII
* Galaxy-SIII
* Galaxy Note
Note that not all hardware variants of these devices are supported yet, since I have not yet been able to obtain the necessary data for all models. If your device is on this list, but the app tells you that your model is not supported and you know how to handle terminal or adb shell and are willing to collect the necessary data, contact the author. The same holds for a yet unsupported bootloader.
If you own a recent (released after the Galaxy-SII) Samsung device running ICS which is not on the list, there is a good chance that I also can extend the support to this device - even tablets should work. Simply contact the author.
Use this application at your own risk. The author is not responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this app.

Presenting to you my incredibly simple fix for the "Google+ Locations" Grey background maps issue that most of us have.
What is the problem?
Google+ Locations feature is replacing Latitude but for many of us this feature does not work. It fails to load the map leaving us with pictures of our contacts on a grey background - basically making the feature worthless to us all.
Whilst the fix itself is very simple (more info at bottom of this post), I know a lot of people here like things to be super easy, so I made a .zip for you all to flash.
Instructions
- Flash like any normal update.zip
- Reboot
In the unlikely event you find that the zip doesn't appear to work, or causes other Google+ issues then wipe app data (and cache) for Google+ and reboot.

Didn't work either way for me.
Tried your flash zip and after rebooting Google+ updated itself by Play probably reversing the changes.
That wouldn't reverse the changes, try to flash it a second time, one person said it worked the second time (everyone else was fine the first time)

Nope still doesn't work.
Reverted back to a previous nandroid (InsertCoin) backup prior to any Google+ modding.
Flashed your zip, rebooted and Google+ was no longer installed.
Had to re-install Google+ from Play store.
Weird you are the only one who has had issues. You were not wiping cache when you flashed it were you?

No just a straight flash and reboot
Interesting. All the zip does it put the app and libs in the correct /system/ directory, there it no reason why it shouldnt work.
You could do it manually if you wanted.

I tried manually first time and still had a grey screen
This is normal?

You will only see people on your map if they are sharing their position with a circle you are in (on google+).

finally got this working...
After moving the files you need to manually clear Google+ data and then it works.

Weird, never had to do that for me (or anyone else who did my testing).
I will add a note to the OP.

I tried to do manually. Moving the "com.google.android.apps.plus-2.apk" to /system/app results in the error:
failed on 'com.google.android.apps.plus-2.apk' - Cross-device link
This is on Nexus4 running CM10.1.2-mako

Terminal Emulator (default in CM).
Alright,
I'm sure you arrived at this solution quite independently as It becomes kinda obvious once you have a proper look into it but I sorted this out weeks ago
https://plus.google.com/u/0/102811685695605940714/posts/5B8gYHciXDe [ Posts in the name of Steve Jones, ]
I made available a new gapps packages for fresh roms here http://goo.im/devs/trevd/gapps/gapps-jb-20130615-signed.zip this includes Google+ as a system app.
The problem you'll get now is that the original one installed from the PlayStore has been updated hence why the apk is now at -2. So at the moment if folks have that one installed in /data/ they should be able to flash your system app version with out removing anything ( in theory ) This might only work until the next update.
Probably the easiest approach is to uninstall using play. Flash a update zip which installs it as a system app.
Just My Thoughts :good:
@sashykanth use "busybox mv" to move files
Hack On!

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen your G+ Post before today. The new Gapps package will certainly be useful for roms which require Gapps.

That's quite an odd issue! Is your main drive letter C:? If it is, try running the program as administrator, then hit yes again.

It looks like the toolkit had issues moving the files after it downloaded them, and for some reason caused a BSOD, which is definitely odd. You shouldn't have to run it as administrator now, so you're good.

unfortunately it seems the htc drivers are causing BSODs now. awesome. I struggled through and got the phone all done. even the uninstalling the htc drivers caused a BSOD.
guess i'll be using the win8 laptop to do anything else with the one v

Thank you so much for letting me know! It appears I forgot to add a few new important files. :crying: A new version has already been reuploaded with all of the correct files. :good:

Hmmm. Before that happens, if not to late, I think you should change the files around for recoveries. TWRPC seems to be the wrong Recovery file. It's a fail boot. I compared the files. The correct one is nearly 2 MB's lower. I just got a replacement, so yeah. I use your app to run the whole process for me. Tested most of it.
Thanks!

Again, saving my butt! Thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure what happened with the recovery files. I re-downloaded the recoveries, double checked the MD5sum, and reuploaded the toolkit again, so check it out for me and make sure I didn't screw anything else up.
Version 2.0 Now Out!
Version 2.0 is now out! It's a complete rewrite, which includes the S-OFF method, and there may be a few kinks left in, so report any issues you find! :good:
