Hi Devs,
Can anyone answer the question, Is it possible to dual boot i9000 with different custom Roms?
it is possible and is under development, but has not been completed yet, as im sure you can understand how difficult it must be.
I don't think I would be game enough to try that..
Good question

Very Possible (i think)
Galaxy S is a kind of mini compact compute,
using the bootloader, using two kernels side by side on the phone.
as logical question , this my logical answer.
i think by this year, smart developers will reach that point instead of focusing on thems ,app and wallpapers.
this is intresting
thanks

That bootloader thing isn't as easy as you might think
And you have to figure out how to partition the phone because two roms mean two /system and, as far as I know, the space is lean as it is now.
It should be possible but I don't want to be the guy who does it (although I would respect that man (or woman) a great deal)
Well multi boots require separate partitions plus a multi boot loader. Quite an ask for a phone. in theory possible, but sounds pretty difficult to me.

whilst its not really dual boot you could use CWM to make backups and restore the different roms if you want to regularly switch? not what you are asking I know but a work around perhaps.
i would be happy for an app that runs a system of the sd card, kinda like how they used to run android on the HD2. Click the app and it would boot android restart and it boots back to winmo coz thats whats on the NAND .
This would good for people that want to test a ROM, mod it, theme it without flashing the orgional ROM. A Virtual machine if you will

hey guy i have think about what you said if dev can develope multi loader like computer that can we have both winphone 7 with android or maemo with bada or meego with ios! that sounds good and i think we can do that cause we have three diffrent storage in galaxy s. that have 2 gig rom that we have used it for android by now and we make it lagfix and change it from rfs to ext. another storage is internal nand that is 8 or 16 gig that we can use for further os like ios. and at last for blue tooth or else we can use external sd storage up to 32 gig i think galaxy s is more up than n900 or hd2 so we can nand and port real os on it!
BootManager - ROM multiboot
Hello, someone knows if this app works on galaxy s i9000?, I have a version of this device sold exclusively here in Brazil it is called I9000B, the only difference for the I9000, is that my tv is digital!
I wud love to hav dual boot - Android n WP7 (like HTC HD2), but having 2 android OS doesnt make any sense!
Actually does so, this way we can enjoy two different roms at the same time, can have the best of two worlds!
No updates? I thought we could just have an entry in the recovery mod which backs up the old kernel, flashes a new kernel, maybe modded to mount the /system and /data filesystems from sdcard images (system.img & data.img), replaces init.rc to avoid problematic mounts, and then boots the other rom. then, to reboot in the original rom, enter recovery and select the default one. I just want to know what are the problems we could find with this method. I can help, if someone is interested in doing this. I'm not a dev, but I can prepare images, edit init.rc, and if you give me the source I may be able to edit the recovery. I really want dual boot on my i9000, to test roms without wipes and backups, to have choice, to have a recovery rom in case something goes wrong with the default one and I'm not at home. For instance, it happened to me, that sometimes I couldn't listen to music when I was on the bus, due to roms' problems. I wish I could boot an emergency rom in cases like that.

so what will i lost if i flash a custom rom? s-pen function?

All roms are different.
S pen will work on all roms but if you flash a non TW based rom you won't be able to use s memo etc

It all depends on your taste. Some people are vegetarians some are non-vegetarians, while some are eggetarians...
Point is each ROM has its good & bad. See what each ROM has to offer from their developers thread & select what you want.
If you feel custom ROM is not your cup of tea & you prefer stock roms only, then there are custom roms based on Stock likethe one am using, Clean Note (there are plenty more) try them..
Finally if you do not want to flash any custom ROM & prefer to stay on the Stock ROM but would like to improve performance, visit the thread in my signature which will give you various guides by different people.
hello title kinda says it all.
Ive been thinking of rooting phone mainly to get rid of all the bloatware in the s3 mini. besides that i really dont know what all the roms are capable off.
essentially i want:
eliminate bloatware
improve battery life (if possible)
have greater control over app notifications (sounds etc)
nicer looking gui is a plus.
also is it possible to do this without losing my already installed apps?
Here you go!
I will make a tutorial on how to install custom roms. I also have a review of a custom rom.
ok got the rooting but what about rom reccomendation that does what i described?

Basicly customs roms will give you a very smooth and fast experience without any bloatware(stuff that are unecessary which uses lots of ram).
Roms also give you some extra features that you won't get on stock roms.

"best rom" topics is not welcome here. you need to try it for yourself and choose one. all i can say is start with novafusion's roms. like cyanogenmod cm11, 10.2. carbon rom etc. i use novafusion's cm11 and pretty cool. but try them and choose

I was able to root my phone. Now my question is that I would like to run a lag free system. Would changing the Rom fix that? Will I lose any features on my phone? I want a rom that is Simple ( google edition phone/ no bloatware) My current system is 4.2.1, would I need to stay on 4.2.1 to keep my features or that doesnt matter. I am a total noob and the more explanation, the better ( & more appreciated).

Custom ROMs also have their pros and cons, but are generaly faster and smoother than stock. They add new features, that's why we love them, but there are some sacrifices. If u decide to go custom, go to Original Android Development subforum here, browse around, and make your pick... (I personaly recomend CM 10.2 from NovaFusion if you want a stable, yet smooth custom ROM that won't let you down). Ofcourse, when flashing them, and recovery of your chosing, you should know what you're doing, at least on paper, so come prepared. All the info is already here, just search it.
Staying on stock has some advantages too. It's almost risk free, and like pang34 said, u can do lots of things on stock (now that you are rooted) too that will improve performance and customize your phone. There are also some Stock Based ROMs here (haven't tried them, but also a good option), you should check them out.
The decision is all yours. You chose, that's the cool thing about Android.:highfive:

4.2.1?? What s3 mini verson do you have?
If is GT-I8190 the you can costomize like custom recovery and rom.
You'll not lose any feature, you can boost the phone smoothnes and response to comands by making a good combination of kernel-cutom rom, you can boost battery life and performance as well.
You'll lose nothing just the warranty,nothing more.

I think the warranty has expired anyways. Do you have a ROM that you suggest? I wanted to try CM Roms.
Thanks to all those who replied. Really appreciate you helping out a noob.
If you ask me, stock based roms are the best ones

Flashing the rom doesnt seem to work. I tried to do it through RomManager and followed these instructions and all I would go back is to the factory reset of the S3 mini.

Hi, I would personally install twrp from novafusion. http://novafusion.pl/downloads#
Install using Odin. I use twrp for any ROMs I install, it has never let me down.
After you have twrp installed, click on wipe>advanced wipe and check
System
Data
Cach
Dalvik
Then install what ever ROM you have downloaded.
Sent from my GT-I8190N
best way is always via odin but with latest twrp by novafusion it is very easy to install. i recommand to do a clean install every month or after complexer updates.
hey guys just bought this m7 device now i need your help to choce the right rom for me. im looking for performences over futers, stock on the lates android ( 6 i think )

Ok, so the international model. So if you want stock Android 6.x, my personal recommendations are Android Ice Cold Project (AICP), it's very feature rich while being as close to stock as possible and it has nightly updates. It also has really great performance and battery life, I haven't had any lag and get at least a day out of my battery. There's also Cyanogenmod 13 although it hasn't been updated for a month or so to my knowledge. And lastly another good one is crDroid. I personally recommend AICP because of the almost daily updates, and features, I have it installed on both my M7 and Nexus 4. I haven't had any issues and if there is an issue it's normally fixed the following update.

Android Lollipop with the Google Play Editions are pretty much what you'd get on the stock Nexus experience. A lot of Google apps, and pure stock Lollipop without any modifications. Some do have some modifications to them, and some don't.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 is really the only Lollipop ROM that I have used other than the Sense 7 roms, they have almost nightly updates for their Lollipop builds. Google Play Edition+ is another great one for 5.x, you can pick between stock Play Edition and the developer's custom build packed with features.

If your primary rom is Sense-based then simply download this kernel, ElementalX, and flash it to your main rom. It has some pretty good features too that you can pick from during the installation. There also is a GPE build for Play Edition roms as well. Reboot into the rom just to make sure everything flashed smoothly, and then reboot and you can then boot into your different roms in multi boot. Just make sure that if you change your main rom in Multiboot that it has to have this kernel, I haven't found any other one that supports it. There also aren't any Marshmallow kernels just yet either, sadly.

Hmm. I'm currently busy until around 10-11pm EST, whenever I get done and back home I will take a look around to see if there might be anything. If it's Marshmallow based though there isn't any custom kernels yet. Wouldn't hurt to make like a GPE or Sense rom your primary one and simply leave it there, I do that. I use MIUI 7 as my daily driver but I have InsertCoin Sense 7 installed for my main rom so I can have 2-3 other roms installed. Just some advice if that helps

I think, what would work best for you since you prefer stock-based roms, is download the Google Play Edition+ I linked earlier in the thread, install it as a secondary rom and also flash the ElementalX kernel under Flash Zip. Afterwards go under Advanced, Multirom, Swap Rom, and leave it as Swap primary and pick the GPE+ and let it run it's course. Might take 5-10 minutes so I'd leave it plugged in and charging if you are below 50-60% battery. Then just boot into GPE+, do a quick setup and leave it as a basic installation. That way you can keep your Carbon Rom installation with all of the data and apps, and just pick that every time you boot your phone. Plus it's easier than messing around with different kernels on Carbon trying to find one to make it work and you have a fallback stock rom in case an update or something messes up Carbon. That's exactly what I did with MIUI and InsertCoin.

Yeah, that happens sometimes with mine. Not all the time though, mainly when I'm streaming music in Spotify or Pandora, or if I've been on it for 10-15 minutes on Twitter, email, etc. Sometimes when installing a rom and first booting it, it gets upwards of 50C but cools down after I let it sit for a little while. Also, just throwing it out there because I love the app, if you have $7 you're willing to spend MyBackup Pro is fantastic for backing up everything if you change the rom you use the most. Like data, apps with the app data (not every app backs up the data though) and just like everything else. There's also a free one if you don't care about app data which I'd actually recommend trying that out first. Spares a hell of a lot of time for downloading apps every time. I promise I am no way affiliated with them, like I really feel bad "advertising" them even though I'm not. It's just my favorite backup app xD. Titanium backup is another good one but I haven't used it's backup stuff. Mods you can feel free to edit this if you don't see it fit.
