Dual booting is having 2 os's installed at the same time. It's usually done on pcs, like mine has windows 7(for gaming) and ubuntu(for everything else). Would be interesting on a phone though...

I know what dual booting is, but I don't know what bump has to do with it

its a forum thing. its called BUMPING a post.....to get it back to the top of the page to get more views

He was "bumping" your thread back up....most likely because he is interested in seeing it answered as you are also.

^^^ lol......I was wondering this myself. Another example is rockbox for mp3 players. The player loads into the rockbox program by default but if you hold a button it loads the original firmware.

Bumpidy bump bump
If I have helped press thanks.

it would be really cool but noone wants to mess with the boot loader for some reason. i dunno, if you want to dual boot you can get an hd2, i think they got that bootloader to work on the evo as well. so the hardware isnt all that special, but you would get dual boot.
i dont want anything gay or unrealistic like winmo or wp7 on a dual boot, just two roms. one to experiment with, and one to use for the phone stuff.

Yea thad b nice

as long as you stay within the same firmware versions (2.2 and 2.2, 2.2.1 and 2.2.1, etc) you can use nandroids to accomplish the same effect

They're already working on this in the android development section

Hey guys, there's no need to belittle the guy for releasing his first ROM, looking stock or not, he put hours of effort into this and the best thing would be for us to support him in his project like we do every other quality ROM cooker, because even people like Som started out smalltime. So lay off the guy, jeez.
To the OP: Good job on your first Rom and Good luck in your future builds, and pay no attention to the immatures on the site, they do not represent the actual quality members of this site.
Just flashed this to check it out as i love einherjar stuff. Very responsive and nice overall function! Nice work fellas! I do wish you guys would use IRC though!!! im always in your chan and no one is ever there Sadpanda!
noob Q: Odin it right?
also i running 2.2 froyo w/ Ka6+voodoo (i should unroot? this rom comes with root.
n-e 1 can advice plz
This is a good start man, keep it up.

This is a clockwork flashable rom, Odin not needed. You do not need to disable voodoo, and comes pre-rooted.

What else can you do?

I've been with this forum for quite a bit now.
I flashed a lot to try out different roms
But these days I got really bored/tired of flashing. So I was wondering if there is something else that you could do with the captivate?...

I think that's what he is tired of is the same basic rom just themed 47 different ways.
@op, switch to an htc device if variety in roms is what your looking for. Only so much that can be done with the captivate until an aosp build is functional that can be built upon.

Yah, its quite the departure. Not for me ui-wise, but thanks for the effort guys.
Wait...does that mean contacts is completely AOSP (meaning no more save to card, save to phone, save to Google crap)?? I didn't think anyone had gotten there and the one reason I've been waiting for CM. Admittedly, I haven't paid that much attention to all the available ROMs, so maybe I missed others.

No custom ROMS?

Looking for a custom or stripped stock rom for the Sanyo Zio, the phone is just too slow. Sprint version of course!

/ Agree
I for one am enjoying the Zio It actually feels like a solid device ( Using 2.2 and OpenZio ) compared to my HTC Raphael. Decent specs, just needs a streamlined ROM. Patience is a virtue Besides, Cricket here in Baltimore is AWS so it looks like the device lineup is limited anyway...... you might want to check up on the type of service you are using in your area too Not ANY WCDMA cell will work.....but maybe I should have let you buy it and waste money / time trying to flash it to cricket
Happily enjoying my 50 / Month all everything plan..... much cheaper than the 140 I was paying ATT using my Rhodium. I get the same if not better speeds with MUCH lower latencies!!!!
We've got a pretty decent rom being put together. It's alot of trial and error. We need more help to get to a beta release.
We have many that want custom roms, but how many are willing to contribute?

Ill hop in IRC when I get the chance after I'm done with portal 2. Should be able to flash and test if my off time coincides with when you guys are working on it.
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
I'm down for being a beta tester. Any chance there'll be an overclockable kernel?
I thought someone was working on an oc but I haven't heard anything recently. I think I'm gonna have to learn to do it. I honestly have no experience overclocking kernels. But if anyone with experience could help it would be much appreciated.

Bootanimation Thread Epic 4g

Was wanting to see if we could start a bootanimation Thread that only has bootanimation. So here you go, I personally do not have a boot to post but was hoping this would make things easier for people.
Please give credit to those that made it. if you are just posting here for others... i also can not post links yet so. please help fill the thread
That is funny I was literally thinking about starting this thread earlier today. The one I am currently using is the high def droid peeing on apple.

On Gingerbread, you have to rename those files "bootani" or something. (Sanim.zip?) Anyway, I could never get them to work after Froyo.

I'll add another as I see the use for a dedicated boot animation thread.
Here is the android zapping the apple boot animation.

thank you for you dedicated assistance ... there is a boot animation app in market that can help with changing the boot but is not for everyone and well need to have root access
BAC is the app
