[Q] Possible "Dual Boot" with CM9??

Hey guys, i am currently using my stock ROM. I would like to give CM9 a try, but for what i heard, some featires still dont work on CM9, like camera for example. I wonder if there is a way to have BOTH roms installed, and choose between them on the Boot? Is that possible? How?

Yes. Install safestrap. Turn on safesystem, this will make a 'backup' of your current rom. Now install CM9. When you turn off safesystem, you will go back to your stock rom.

FWIW, it's not the same as dualbooting on a computer, where you can select the OS on start up. When you switch over, it takes a minute or 3.

i saw this app you mentioned on the Play Store. It doen't list Droid 3 as a suported device, but lists Droid X and Droid 2. Has anyone tryed? the UI seem a little confusing, i am still hesitating to try, since my knowledge is small.

[Q] [GB to JB and back]

Guys!!
i always appreciate the roms our developers make for us to enjoy our phone all the way more...but i know that JB and sumtimes even GB,not like JB but still lags/hangs/gets stuck..i mean i like the interface and all, of custom roms, but even the stock roms lag, and also in the end its about making calls and using watsapp, well atleast for me...!!!
So,
i wanted to know, is there any direct way install JB on my phone (like the nandroid restore) and as per my comfort, switch back to GB without the need do restoring everything (like we always have to do a factory reset and install all the apps again and restore every data again),
like can i use the nandroid restore to restore back to gb???
another thing is, suppose if i have a nandroid backup of my stock rom, and then i installed slim jb or galaxperia on my phone and want to shift back to stock...can i do the nand restore from cwm/twrp without thinking for a second (i.e. after doing the factory reset)???

From JB custom roms to JB stock, yes. If you have made nandroid backup, you can just restore. From JB to GB I don't think you can. You need to follow the downgrade procedures.

Thnx..and is there a way to get all my apps and data like they were before i installed a new rom
For eg: i have slim jb and want to shift to galaxperia...how can i without loosing the data and apps ( or without fact.reset)...i know i can use titanium but is there any other way of not even deleting them in the 1st place
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

Well the reason for factory reset is to avoid any complications when switching roms..you can try flashing roms without factory reset but maybe there will be some problems. Therefore it is recommended to do so. As for backup, other that titanium you can just backup data using twrp but I prefer titanium

Guys thanks for the help..appreciate it!!
One more favor please...im currently on DDLK2 indian GB and im thinking of shifting to OmegaRomX by shaan....now i have made a backup of my stock rom using Twrp (system 552mb & data 826mb)..now as the procedure says i will factory reset before rebooting to Omega rom...
I want to ask, is it possible if i restore JUST my Data from backup, on Omegarom...i mean will i get all my apps and their data as it was...and i wont need to download it all again...
Will it work?will it cause any trouble??

Guys, gr8 news by sammy....maybe its old but i found it now...they have released jb (I9070ODDULP8) in india...does that mean its stable???
i am currently on GB...n seriously bored with this phone...are there any lags in using apps and mailnly opening the calling app...in short is it available for daily use!!!
or should i go for the latest russian version released, as russia was the first where jb was released and so i was thinking maybe it would be more stable!!!

On JB roms and above the max. partition size for apps to be installed is decreased from 1.95GB (or 1.86 in most cases) to roughly 1.5GB (slightly smaller than that), probably to allow more space in /system for things such as system apps and so on.
When you flash back to GB, the data partitions will change again and so you'll have 1.95GB, but when you flash to JB, this will naturally decrease.
1.25GB does seem to be less than usual even for JB roms, so do ask around to other users and see if they have the same amount of storage. If they do, then you know its just how the rom is naturally.

Galaxy Note Getting Intolerable !!!

I am on latest stock indian jellybean rom, unrooted. My Note has become extreeemely sluggish and it takes ages to open apps. For example, if I am listening to a song, and I try to tag it with shazam or sound hound, they take ages to open and by the time the song has already finished. Secondly, when my friends ask me to click a pic of theirs at any moment, it feels very bad that the camera takes ages to open.
I want to know, if I root the device, and use the greenify app to freeze unwanted system apps, can my phone become reasonably alright. Also if I want to root without flashing any kernal or roms, is it possible. PLease help !!!

I think you should smash you Galaxy Note.
I don't know what a "Kernal" is but if you want to stay stock why dont you just reset factory settings from the phone setting, it will be as good as it was when you bought it.

Install clean master from play store, clean excessive junk and try.

Sorry , but I think you should just flash it to AOSP roms . I experienced what you are currently having right now the sluggishness , it's all Samsung's part to blame , they ruined the Jelly Bean for the Note 1 , I can confirm that ICS was running way smoother than JB too!
Even tried Custom TW rom with JB , still the same laggyness , opening the Gallery app would take a long time compared to other roms. So my advice is to just ditch TouchWiz Jelly Bean for the note 1.

The answer to your problem is simple. Install sweet ROM version 10 with c.o.h kernel and greenify. Then install nova launcher if you want a butter smooth ui. My phone runs like lightning...has great battery life as well. Stock Samsung roms run like crap as they want you to buy a new phone.

Slim Bean 2.0 is your friend. Android 4.3.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

ICS is the only way to go for smoothness. I use 4.0.4 LRK
Sent from my GT-N7000

Use ics if you want stock experience as well as smoothness. Stock Jelly bean for note is total crap. And yes, use a different launcher if you want to preserve 100 mb RAM.

I went for P.A.C. running 4.3.1, and it's a world of a difference! Battery is great, performance is great, and has so many features that it's so much fun to customize.
I do prefer stock, but ICS has that scary bug that can brick your phone and JB for the Note is like a sewer. Thankfully my company is giving me a S4 Mini in the next few days...

The phone is easy enough to root - two files in the main int. memory directory if I remember correctly, and boot into the normal recovery mode to install them.
CM10.2 ran very well for me. Stable, better battery life, more responsive (for a two year old phone anyhow).
I'm currently on PAC as well because I like the extra options, but the cost of these new toys does seem to be minor stability issues, although that could be in part due to the number of memory intensive apps I tend to have running.

No. On the newer jb kernels the exploit has been plugged.

Custom roms based on tw will be able to run it, not CM or AOSP.

And can my note get better on stock rom with root and unwanted apps frozen with greenify, also now what is the best way to root without installing any custom kernel or rom?

Instead of freezing them, just uninstall using tb so will free some space in the system partition. Use the supersu.zip file to root. File can be found in many rooting tutorials in the forum.

[Q] Need help with Bionic, that has Safestrap 3.6 installed but no OS

I work at a cell fix shop and one of my customers brought in a Bionic that his son tried to root and ended up with Safestrap 3.6 installed but no OS. I have done OS fixes by completely wiping the phone and re-installing the stock OS but I would like to just be able to place the stock os in the stock os rom slot but I have no idea how or where to start looking for those files and I have tried searching here for them but I don't know what the official os is for this phone. Any help would be awesome, until this happened I had never even seen safestrap, and I have no idea how to use it and not the time to figure it out by myself. Thanks guys!

If I remember correctly I don't think your going to be able to because he wiped the system, you could try installing the deoxided stock and see

Ok so should I look then for "deoxided stock" for bionic? or is there a specific version # or something specific I should be looking for? Also if you happen to have a link to that it would be awesome

Here's a link
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/16256-[Bionic][MODs]-Deodex-&-1%-Battery-Mods-for-Stock-JB-98.72.22
But I did notice it's just the os not the system so I doubt it'll work. You could flash a stock based ROM like FlyingJelly and that should take but it would have tweaks and themes different from stock

FXZ that baby back to stock! I made an oopsie and that was the ticket. Restores file structure and bootloader, etc. Reinstall Safestrap.
