Hello
How can we set up our HTC Sensation XL for Dual Boot?
whats is the dual boot?
when we can install 2 roms and choose which one we want to boot,f.e. you use your daily rom and can test a new a new rom at the same time on the same device
call me a little bit realistic, but hardly seems worth any dev working on this when we only really have 3 different based roms ICS + sense/ ICS built on htc framework and Stock GB based roms....
Takes 2 mins to flash a rom......
And everytime setting all the widgets and the apps on the homescreens, setting up the accounts etc

you can make backups of two roms , and anytime you want to boot to the other rom you can restore it's backup back. ;-)
With which app?

When in recovery with CWM go to back and restore and back up
It will backup your current ROM as it is. You should do this as common practice before installing new ROMs.
Dual is not for booting different android builds but for booting different os on same phone. This is not a hd2 capable of running multiple os at same time. No need for dual boot for purely android builds flashed to nand partition. If we had an sdcard slot could boot android off nand or sdcard via dual boot. Can't flash 2 different android builds to one nand partition

I'm not very good in explaining in english
I just ment that i can choose when the phone boots which rom I want to boot. Does we have to partitions one nand and one for user data? can't we the partition for user data partitionate?
It's been done on the desire HD

One ROM on nand and one on sd
For the xl you'd have to use the built in storage
Would be pretty handy to have a work install and a private
Edit: obviously don't try the desire HD one on the xl

Mate it isn't about the processor. As I said we have no sdcard on xl so its rather pointless. You cannot dual.boot 2 roms off same nand partition as you for one will corrupt it and as its only so big you will find it hard to fit both on. It's a bad idea to even consider it. Like I said on hd2 which runs multiple os its possible as wp7 and android and wm6.5 and linux etc all off one phone. On desire hd one on nand and one on sdcard. We have no such luxury of an sdcard. Running multiple os on one nand partition is dangerous. You would have to partition the nand and hope to get both on and need dual boot manager etc. Dangerous on this phone and unwise

Well its 1ghz single core chip. It has a sdcard slot which makes so much difference. HTC one x also has no sdcard. In essence you could use internal sdcard but if any data corruption your phone is ****ed. Sdcards can be replaced remember lol

There are ways around it, but like you said it's not worth it IMO. just for the record, one way around it would be to load 2nd OS directly into memory. obviously it would need to be a fairly small build like AOSP.
Boot Manager
Guys, i read the first post only & not sure if some one else has already pointed it out.
We can have multiple ROMs installed on our XL via Boot Manager..
I was using this wonderful app on my Desire HD & recently made it work for Sensation XL along with the Boot Manager team ofcourse..
You wont find our device listed there BUT it is working for sure...
Hi there,
First of all, Sorry for this stupid thread, but i found no answer with the search Tool.
Just like the topic sais, i cant mount my sd-card (internal storage) in the recovery, but i can get Access to my sd-card when i "choose zip from sd card".
Anyone knows how to fix that?
With Kind regards

Thank You so much.
I downloaded the xl Multi Tool and flashed the recovery with adb.
Am I right, that there's no Touch-recovery with working sd-mount?
With kind regards

Hello,
Does anyone know how to change the size of the internal storage on the Sxl. The phone storage is to small for music and pics and the internal storage is to big for app's. Now both partitions are 8GB. I want to extend the phone storage with 4 Gb for my music. Is this possible??
I have the:
Beta_Test_V1.4_resized_apps ROM with:
android 4.0.4
Sense 4.1
