how to dual boot ??
and ubuntu image available out there????
You would need a kernel for that with kexec enabled. Then a rom and recovery that supports multiboot.

So far it seems people on the Nexus have got it down pretty good (Link).
Haven't yet seen a succesful dual boot on HTC yet.
Here's something that looks promising, but use at your own risk:

I'll add some more links to helpful threads in a bit.

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...

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 -.-

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?

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

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

next time be more clear in your question because otherwise no one can help you. Replying to his statement of using the search function by calling him a little boy is kind of childish yourself.

Just figured I would give a "bump" to this Q&A since this dual-booting Samsung & AOSP is working well at this point. There are a few caveats and I am compiling a FAQ on just this topic. DerTeufel's thread is here and the OP references my FAQ > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239453

Currently, the only reliable config is AOSP (assuming you mean 4.2) as primary and Sammy as secondary or both Sammy. AOSP 4.2 on secondary has SD card access issues, etc.

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).

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.

Till it gets stable enough to worth porting, we will probably have CM 10.1 and kernel 3.0 working perfectly
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
Edit - that did the trick it's working now ^_^

what is the version of kernel?
sorry for my bad english
Hello!
I am an ubuntu user since 2006 or so and was quiet happy to see the news about it on phones but the hardware requirements are a bit stronger than what our device has. I remember something about minimum dualcore processors and 1 Gb ram. But if someone manages that'd be fun

What exactly do you mean Is the phone not booting pass the black screen after the moto logo.... if so you need to make sure you have wipe data if not the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip won't be installed and flashed the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip first or it will never boot.

It is possible. But someone would have to develop it.

Yes it is quite possible. The app is called boot manager and there is a tutorial on Youtube on how to find out the variables it will ask for. This will install a ROM onto your sd card and allow a dual boot. You will have to be rooted and have CWM recovery. It's a pretty awesome app.

Oh I see, if you know how Android boot image and ramdisk works and you can figure out what to do, you can use my tool to pack CWM with the Xperia M Dual kernel.
If you don't, someone had also packed an older version of CWM before that, and it is still usable.
