Dual booting; a possibility? Discussion, not question. - Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

As it says in the subject line, this is a discussion, not a question. I recently started dual booting my galaxy s3 with kitkat and miui and it gave me the idea of figuring out how to make this happen on the otter2.
This thread will soon go from discussion to a testing discussion because I plan to grab the source for the version of TWRP that allows dual boot on the S3 and try to port it to the otter2. The main purpose is to run a proper rom alongside the official kindle software so that things like Prime Instant Video don't have to be done with a hacked copy of Adobe flash and dolphin browser.
If there's interest in this, both in the discussion phase and the testing phase, fire away (pun intended)
Mods, if this thread belongs in a different forum until an actual testing release is ready, I apologize and won't begrudge you one iota if you have to move the thread.

Yes, I'd be interested if it is possible to DualBoot the KF2...
Has there been any progress on this yet?
Cheers, Lister

Not yet. Unfortunately right at the same time I started work on this project, a bunch of family crap happened so I've been unable to work on it much.
However, in a week or so I'll resume work on it.

[KERNEL] Request DualBoot Kernel T999

Hi folks, I have a flamming subject today. I am the onlyone would would cut a finger to have a dualboot kernel like on the Internationnal version? I mean why are we the only device to not have this ? Rarz got one, S3 4 core got one, HTC one too and now they are planning the S4. I hate juggling between backups.
If it is money it need i'm ready to give some via paypal, and I dont think I'll be the only one that will support that developpment. Imagine switching with one click from AOSP latest CM to a touchwiz based ROM.
I dont want to be burried because of this post but seriously this would be awesome.

Hell I'd give my left ball for one lol. No time or motivation to learn to code for it (I wanna be spoon fed lol jk). But you might want to edit the title to say its a request or something to keep the bashers away as there are some hardcores on here (and the occasional just plain D#%KS haha) who will berate this post and I am sure its title.

I'd love to have dual boot on my s3.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I didn't even realize that this was the t999 was the only version that didn't have a dualboot kernel
I remember I wanted this ability super bad about a year ago but figured the devs would eventually get around to it. So disappointed that this just never happened as I'm constantly forced to choose an OK ROM over a great ROM due to 1 or 2 important (though often rarely used) features. If I could dualboot I would benefit from using a great ROM (AOSP based) as my daily driver and switch, only when necessary, to take advantage of modified/stock benefits like better driver support for video recording. A "feature" I only really need when on vacation or at an event.
I'm not sure how dualbooting works exactly. Is this a kernel feature, as everyone seems to be suggesting, and wouldn't that force us to use 1 and only 1 kernel for all our ROMs?

Support evil1art and petition to have him be recognized as a developer

Never realized xda member, themer, developer evil1art isn't listed as a developer here on xda. I'm always on tapatalk so I never noticed his avatar info.... till now.
How the funk isn't he a recognized developer? Argh!! Rally the troops.
** Petition sent to one Kenny Glass, for a prompt developer recognition of one evil1art**
I've used evil1art's ROMs spanning three devices and I always use his ROMs the most by FAR! I'm a flash-aholic and evil1art has me addicted to his crack. No matter which ROM I try I find myself back on a Wicked ROM.
Evil1art is a developer in my eyes. Let's show him our support and get him officially recognized by XDA. PM your local moderator. It takes 60 seconds. Politely tell them how much you love evil1art's ROMs.
Thanks

MOD EDIT: See Venum's closing post! Also spend 2 seconds and google Recognized Developer XDA application before wasting everyone's time on a petition
Its great to support your xda developers, all he has to do is follow the application process with his development work once they open the app process again. Im sure hes well aware and has without question put the work in to be accepted, but xda doesnt exactly have a petition process. Its up to the developer to follow the proper procedures to have their xda status changed.

How is this even possible??? The man's thread on the s3 has over a million views! A MILLION!!! This device hasn't been out that long and it's clear that his wicked rom is the #1 rom on this phone (based on # of downloads and views in his thread at least, subjective I know). If anybody deserves to be a recognized developer it's evil.

Well to be corrected, he was a recognize themer, not developer (always pertain him as a recognize developer in my head regardless)
So are you petitioning for him to get his old title back or a new title?

Thanx bro!
But dont waste your time
Xda removed my RT title for unjust reasons and after I appealed it they still gave no reason! I doubt I will contiue to upload work to a website that doesnt appreciate the 100,000 plus downloads, over 1,000,000 views on 1 rom and all the free work I post here.
My profile shows 1 infraction they are saying 2? Gave no reason for the second one so who knows. I was called every name in the book and all I said was I hope they choke, thats it! I see devs do a hell of alot more vulgar things on here!
So follow me on twitter and fb because my links maybe getting pulled!

If XDA cannot see how awesome your work is...then its their loss.
You leave and I will follow. Period.

I support evil as a dev, total awesomness comes from this guy, and thanks to the OP for making this thread, I was considering this myself but I didn't know all the facts, so I didn't want to ask for forgivness later. Sadly, if evil pulls his links, I don't have fb or twitter so I don't have that access. I am subscribed to this thread now to stay current and give all of my support to evil and his work. :good:
When I got my S4 I was a little worried about the available ROM's but evil has put together something really nice and has something for everyone.
He has several things in his ROM's that I had never seen before and they all work as they were intended. I have installed several ROM's over several devices. It would be a very good thing to see evil get RD status, his work is amazing.
thanks

Yeah I've always laughed at that title too. @evil1art runs the galaxy devices. Wicked ROM is always the most used, mist stable, has the most views and has a very active thread. Even better the thread activity is almost never bug related. XDA is weird. A lot of very contributive members have been denied RC status even. Mods are getting crazy here. Its a development site for developers to develop and share. If you are developing, and sharing, who is to say that a person is not a developer. Whatever. Keep me posted Nick if you start posting elsewhere.

First off, this does not belong in development
Second, this is not a bounty.
A bounty is posted by a trusted member for a significant development achievement
A bounty also has a running total of pledges in the OP
Moved to General. I do not believe asking for a ROM which will definitely come sooner or later is a good subject for a bounty
But I will not close this yet

^this
Devs will bring a 4.4 rom when ready, sounds like somebody should have gotten the n5 instead.
I know some of you will say "but it's okay to ask and hope this will hurry up development". I see it as a slap to devs faces like their not already trying or busy enough with their lives.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium
No harm in asking I guess but just think if you want a good rom, a good rom dev will always wait a little while untill all the issues and little bugs are found exposed and worked out before releasing their own. You dont want to put a rom out there and have a thousand pages of my airview is not working, my wifi calling caller id is not working, my d% $ k is not working, you get the point. And issues there always is when a new release hits. So with that being said 4.3 is still pretty fresh for us anyway and lets enjoy it a bit before we jump into that delicious candy bar ? everyone is itching to eat so bad. Cant say I wouldnt flash it if there was one tho☻. Just sayin

Offering $20 to a hard working developer for a ROM is insulting in my book. That's just my humble opinion. Plus it doesn't seem there was more to contribute than asking for something. I'm not one to get on people, but I'm not a developer and I was annoyed that someone is offering $20 for hours of work (not too mention they are doing it for free anyway). Are you going to give $20 to every 4.4 Kit Kat ROM? My gut tells me no.
I think this thread should be closed.
OK, as the posts following fellow moderator KennyGlass123 clearly have not proven to be contributory towards the furthering of development. This thread is now closed.

We need a list of current roms that's up to date on here

Do you mean with active download links in general? Or do you mean threads with active development; because that would be easy to find without a list... Android Development->any thread with activity in the last month... Galaxy S4 Unified builds->most all threads.
A one stop shop as it were to kinda help the new little flashers find what they want a little easier as longs as the devs don't mind us posting the dl links saves everyone time and would help promote the s4 roms alittle bit.... In my opinion

Dont post download links post thread links.
For a 2 reasons
One, people will take it as your work.
Two, youll have a q&a of multiple roms in one thread and will confuse the hell out of people.
Make a "directory" kernels, roms, recoveries, mods, themes, firmwares, etc etc with linksto threads. If you keep it up to date and maintained a mod will gladly sticky it at the top of the forum here in general. We use to have one. But hasnt been updated in probably a year

Three, most developers prefer that you don't link directly to downloads for tracking reasons. (And they REALLY don't like mirror hosting for the same reason)
If you do decide to go ahead and make this list, you might want to consider going to the I9505 International forums because a lot of those ROMs work on our M919 T-Mobile device. I'm currently running the International Phoenix ROM on my T-Mobile device and it runs perfectly.
