Dual Booting two different ROMS?

[Julez6245]

I really like CM7 and am a daily user. But I also really like HTC Sense and like to use Myns Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5. Is there any way I can dual boot so when the phone starts up, I have a choice to which ROM I can use? That would be cool, any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I believe that there is no such mod out there (don't take my word for it).
I believe that this is possible but it would require alot of patience since ROMS like myn and cm7 are not bootable from the SD and require installation into the phone's built in
memory. This would require the program to backup-delete-install the specific rom every time you want to boot into another rom (sounds confusing?) since it needs to save all the recent changes and etc.

The closest thing we have today is nandroiding between ROM backups. It only takes about 5min or so to restore a nandroid backup. Not sure if what you are wanting is possible or not, so it will be interesting to see the responses you get. I'm sure if someone developed such a thing people would be willing to pay for it!

i highly doubt it. being as the phone has 1 gig of memory. 75% of which is taken up by the rom itself. the other 25% is used for your apps.

there's no room for 2 roms.

You can boot off of the SD card. Let me find the link...

Find that link? I seen some on xda but wasn't sure if they would work on the evo.

Found it, unCoRrUpTeD Dual Boot V1 (RELEASE DATE: TBA...) - xda-developers

I have NOT done this (no need), so i dont have any tips. Goodluck

Edit: He took down the stuff needed to do it because of bugs and stuff. Looks like something big is on the way though, sit tight.

Not sure if I would try or not. Think I'm more interested on how it works

I would be neat to beable to do this. Just saw this over at PreCentral : http://m.precentral.net/android-dual-booted-pre-hardware

Looks like they got WebOS and Android to dual boot on a Pre. I have my old Pre sitting in a drawer, I may give this a shot this weekend. How knows right!

There is a project on XDA where a member is working on this exact thing. You will be able to flash a ROM to your built-in memory and also to a partition of your SD card. Its been in the works for quite a while so I hope it is completed soon!
