[Q] Can we do dual boot? - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

It is just fascinating to try out arco's new CM9 rom.
However, as the camera is still non-functional, I am aching whether to choose between blacknote or CM9...
But can I take both? Like what they do with boot manager...

Interesting.. it can be done but I wonder if there is a Modding for this...
Sent From My Ancora ICS CM9

I found this mod for Defy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522329

Well...
It is said on the page of Boot Manager Pro that
"BootManager will not work with Samsung devices that are not listed because of the way Samsung handles the boot partition."
Kinda crap -.-
Well, but the interesting thing is...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375550
found this when googling samsung dual boot
Can we just do the same thingy here?

that would be somethin if we manage to get our SGW to dual boot
like my acer aspire 1 netbook

I would be glad if I can test camera in CM9 while using ordinary camera in Gingerbread for daily operation.
Possible?

Any updates on this?

Dual Boot
anyone have try dual boot on galaxy w ?
Thanks

Any update on this?

sorry, i am new, what is dual boot?

I think this is a good suggestion

I think its related to the kernel, like siyah kernel on sgs2 or sgs3 it can perform dualbooting

So you mean our SGW's kernal not supporting dual boot feature.?!

For this time, nope. Maybe in future someone good at linux or kernel imaging deciding to using our phone and build a kernel hehe.
As far I can see now, there is not much kernel for us. In gb is cowithgun kernel based on arco work, and stock kernel. In cm7, oisis try to gave a hand. But in ics therevis only one kernel brought by arco

Thanx man! just what i was looking for!
ICS works so much better on a 3.x kernel, ive worked on the galaxy nexus and glaxy 2 love that kernel... also the WIFI handling for the BCM4329 is wayyyyyy better.
Batt is beter, i hacked a 3.02 kernel together using a Ubuntu chroot a while back but its not a true boot kernel would just emulate features it was oh so promising....
Im going to work on this tonight thx!

[Discussion] "Ubuntu for Phones"

As you all know "Ubuntu for phones" has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Lets discuss about this being a possiblity to port on our device.
A porting guide will be posted on Ubuntu website on 22nd (which is today in India).
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting#Stay_tuned.21
Great my fingers-crossed hope we can take advantage of Ubuntu in our phone

Dual Boot
Just curious, the porting guide says that Ubuntu runs over the stock kernel, if it's right, would it be possible to run it in dual boot?
Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) is having official support and currently the port is work in progress. Apart from the system partition size issue, if samsung galaxy s can run it, so can defy. This is very early stage and we can only presume such thing.

Should not be, most of the phones which can run cm 10.1 can easily handle this. Building it too doesn't look much difficult. "Ubuntu for phones" is surprisingly based on CM sources.
I've not enough speed for syncing sources, maybe Kayant or m11kkaa can build it for us.

A little update
I have successfully compiled the the ubuntu zip for our defy however, am facing a major issue at the moment which is the prebulit image that is needed to flash before installing the defy zip is not being installed for some reason Am currently trying to find why this is but no luck so far...... I think I may be something to do with our data partition..... maybe the preimage is too big for it??? that am not sure but I have just reduced it by deleting some images and videos included in the demo..... Hopefully it will decide to work this time

We should make a modded RAMdisk to enable multiboot in the principal kernel, and place the other rom in a ext3-4 sd partition.
Our RAM is as same as I9001 so I don't see why we can't do it.

Itcan be done but with various patches in ramdisk (but not everything woring 100%). I had a kernel on my PLAY for GB ICS and JB but compared to say a GB specific kernel or ICS specific kernel performance decreased.
So to anwser the OP's question. Yes its possible but using a specific kernel for that specific android is much better.

Dual Boot Gingerbread AND Icecream on Xperia Arc S. possible?

is it possible to do this on the Xperia Arc S?
I mean stock roms of sony of course, no need for custom roms.
is this done by booting from the SD card?
Thanks for the support!
It's not possible to do so. Booting can be done from the SD Card but both firmwares use different kernels, so unless you can make GB run on an ICS kernel it will be nigh impossible to do it, not to mention the time needed to make it happen.

well it needs some work to make that thing possible on lupus gb/ics
you need to make a muflti boot kernel using cosmicdan source and some thing from here and there and using lupus gb/ics as your zimage
im not familiar with kernel things but im sure that it's easier than before because of turbo kernel (the hard thing is finished before)
also you can port turbo kernel to arc
that is alittle easier because comsicdan has done some of the optimizations for arc before
but in turbo kernel gb support in not finished but you can test your apps with it atleast
