Thanks to sirduke989, since this work is a continued from his Multi Boot menu.
This new thread is only for developers or for beta testers (for now...)
To avoid cross posting, for more details, you can look at :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578438&page=4
1 WHAT IS DONE :
_Images can be stored on (and loaded from...) HDD
_Ability to flash a new kernel when switching images.
When you select an image, if the line in the menu is bright green you can load new image without flashing.
If the line in the menu is orange you'll probably have to flash before loading new image.
_We can start an alternate init after switch root.
_Retrieve kernel version from zImage file, and show version in the menu.(done Apr. 20, 2013)
I currently use it on my 80G9 1GB turbo HDD moded SSD, and everything seems to work!
2 TO DO LIST :
2-1 Tests to do :
First :
_Tests with 101G9 HDD 1GB RAM
_Tests with 80G9 and 101G9 HDD 512MB RAM
Later :
_Tests with 1GB and 512MB models without HDD.
I think should work on all 80G9 HDD or 101 G9 HDD with 1GB memory...
Since, when everything is loaded, we never use more than 100MB memory, it should work on 512MB models.
2-2 Improvements to do :
_Test if "stock firmware" is really present. If not, don't display in the menu. (thought solved, but not solved)
_Retrieve kernel version from zImage file, and show version in the menu.(solved Apr. 20, 2013)
_Display more than 10 lines in menu (AUI)
3 BUGS :
(bug Apr. 21, 2013)
While booting with a 3.0.21 linux kernel version : The image loads successfully from HDD,
but after switch root I see the HDD, but I'm unable to mount it in mnt/storage.
4 PARTICIPATING AND TESTING (Beta tests) :
Are you interested in participating and testing?
4-1 Participating :
If you are able to :
_Enable SDE and flash with new initramfs.cpio.lzo and zImage.
_Debug your tablet if you have a problem, and feedback useful informations
_Understand the content of source files (shell script)
I think you can participate.
4-2 Here is information if you are interested in testing :
If you accept to test, you have to know that this could be dangerous!
The initramfs seems safe, and I currently use it without any problem but I have to warn you anyway :
It potentially can definitively brick your tablet !
If you don't accept this risk, please don't participate !
We'll start with a limited number of beta testers at first.
If you are interested, please let me know in this thread.
For now only one or two testers per model for this models :
80G9 HDD 1GB RAM
101G9 HDD 1GB RAM
80G9 HDD 512MB RAM
101G9 HDD 512MB RAM
And if everything goes well, we will open the beta to more testers.
4-3 Test procedure :
I'll post the initrams.cpio.lzo individually to each beta tester.
Not to be redistributed or published! It's only a Beta tests version!
How to install :
_Through Developer Edition Menu ("Export Data Partition" menu and "Export Hard Disk" menu) create the following directories :
/data/local/backupUPD
/data/local/lastUPD
/data/local/tmp
/mnt/storage/imgboot
_copy in /data/local/backupUPD
The initramfs.cpio.lzo to be tested
A reliable and functionnal image with his compatible zImage
_create sub directories in /mnt/storage/imgboot
In each of these directories (max 7 for now) copy the image, initramfs and zImage you want to boot
_Go to Developer Edition Menu
Go to Flash Kernel an Initramfs
Use the initramfs.cpio.lzo to be tested and a zImage file compatible with one of the images in your imgboot
Flash kernel and restart
Hi,
Some improvements :
Thought Solved Apr. 17, 2013, but is not : Don't display stock kernel in menu if stock kernel was removed.
Solved Apr. 20, 2013 : Display kernel version.
Now :
Bright Green : Same size and same kernel version --> No need to flash
Dark Green : Size differs, but same kernel version --> Can work (We can choose to flash or to load without flashing)
Orange : Version differs --> We have to flash.!
Blue : No zImage file present or not applicable.
Not a real problem (for now...), but the size of initramfs.cpio.lzo, in growing : was 1.2MB, and now is 2MB :
This is because I upgraded ABCBOX version, and implemented the command "STRINGS". (This command was not available in BUSYBOX...).
Hi,
(bug Apr. 21, 2013) : (Only with 3.0.21 linux kernel!!)
While booting with a 3.0.21 linux kernel version : The image loads successfully from HDD,
After switch root, everything seems to work, but unable to mount HDD in /mnt/storage.
Hi,
Some improvements :
_Fastest while loading and shuting-down
_New options in menu.
_Seems to work on HDD and non-HDD tablets withs 1GB memory, (but more tests to do!).
To do :
_We have big compatibility problems between multiboot on non HDD tablets and paranoid... Trying to solve, complementary tests required!
_Tests with 512 MB memory tablets.
Solved :
_Problem while mounting HDD with a 3.0.21 linux kernel!
Thanks a lot to freezenook for helping and testing on a A80S... (See attachment A80S_1)

Tips Tweak Help :
Win10 :
reduce lag :
Turn OFF the sliders for most of Microsoft’s privacy settings. Google search is your friend here
* In settings>>ease of access>>other options turn OFF Show visual feedback and Play animations
* In settings>>devices>>typing turn ON Add standard keyboard and Show Touch Keyboard
* In settings>>privacy>>background apps and turn OFF any of the apps that you don’t use
* Long press the taskbar speaker icon>>playback devices>>properties>>system effects>>turn OFF Equalizer
* Put Windows Defender on the shelf and install a better firewall/antivirus solution. I use Zone Alarm free Antivrus + Firewall
* Install an acurate battery taskbar icon like BatteryBar

Much appreciated sir, you are indeed a gentleman. In order to avoid further confusion is it possible to add the model number A5C8 to the thread heading if you think it would help. I guess it is not possible to move all the misplaced postings in the Pro thread to here is it ?

SD card in Windows
Now that we have our own area for the new stock dual boot Plus A5C8 (thanks again Supercowz) I would like to hear from owners of this tablet who successfully have a micro SD over 32 GB usable in Windows 10. There are posts in other forums and (incorrect ) other places on XDA where users, like myself are having issues with no SD visible in Windows but just fine in Android.
Anyone have a 64 GB or over working OK, what brand, speed rating etc. ?:fingers-crossed:

what i think is the SD Card/chip or what ever, is bugged crappy, not working proprelly with some brand/size/chip used is not detected is both side (win or android)
i try arround 10 different sd and size mostly sandisk brand, none was detected
but the one (kingrston 16Gb) as gift the taclast shipped by the seller, was working out of the box
so i end up with only 16Gb for now, sine i can't use 64Gb (sad i have fews in stock ...)
but you can still use some by teawking SD drivers under W10,
some sd card repported working after that ... but not on android, harder to tweak android sd driver/kernel ....
i will receive soon the 128Gb kingston i will see soon

I have a 64Gb Silicon Power class 10 no problem in Android, not seen in Windows. I bought it because the first one I tried was a Patriot 64Gb class 10 and I had the same situation so I thought it might be the brand. At least the Silicon Power is a bit faster. I hope the 128Gb Kingston works for you because of what you probably paid (invested) to get it. Windows seems OK up to 32Gb, i have tried a 32 Gb Verbatim and it is fine. Also 128Gb Lexar USB flash drive is no problem with OTG in both Andoid and Windows but read speed is too slow for video.

Just an afterthought, have you tried formatting one of your 64GB cards to Ext 3/4 to see if Android will see it, mine is fine with Fat32 but I had to format to that because card came as exFat, I tried NTFS on one to check if it would work in Windows but made no difference. Great to see you are getting close on the custom Rom. I have not rooted yet, no real need and an app I use checks for rooting so rather than get in to root cloaking I am pretty happy with stock so far.

I know you say without keyboard but I have the Teclast case and keyboard combo I got from Gearbest and I am really impressed with it. I was expecting typical Chinese "pleather' but it is a textured material, looks really good and seems very durable and the inside is lightly flocked. Tablet clicks in to a plastic hard shell. Keyboard has a metal bottom and attaches magnetically to the case so easily removable without clips etc. and can be positioned anywhere. Keyboard forms the front stop when case is used as a stand so fully adjustable. Tablet folds up excellent in case when keyboard removed and is really well protected. Keyboard has to be packed separately to take it along but not a problem. All cut-outs are perfect but volume and power buttons need a fingernail push, no room for a finger tip but that is good travel safety. Keyboard is great too but lags a little before wake up from sleep. In short I think it is great.
http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_271208.html Today $21.97 US. Mine shipped from Netherlands.
There is now root and custom ROM for the x98 Plus thanks to @supercowz

How to install :
if you never installed the Intel driver and flashtools
look at intel driver folder and install PhoneFlashTool_5.3.2.0_win32.exe
enable usb debug !
This will update your system nothing is deleted and W10 untouched
EASY METHOD using intel PHONE FLASH TOOLS :
start intel PHONE FLASH TOOLS
you should see your tablet connected
then open flash.json
be sure that configuration: option is update so nothing will be deleted android peronal dans and w10 untouched
if you choice restore or erase then erase all the tablet then flash fresh custom android and no w10
so configuration on update then start flash
ADVANCED METHOD install via Cmd promt command in 2mn top :
extract the rom
on rom folder hold shift + right clic on free aera and open cmd shell option (hold down the Shift key and right-click on that folder. The context menu will contain an entry, ‘Open command window here.”)
reboot to recovery type :
adb reboot bootloader
now flash boot.img and system.img only (android data and win10 untouched) type :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
then wise to clear cache and dalvik
adb rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
enjoy
Downloading...
-On linux:
adb reboot bootloader
-After reboot:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo fastboot flash system system.img
sudo fastboot reboot
It was fast and easy, just needed to restore my backuped Nova settings, everything looks fine.
Hardware information, still not working for me dunno why. Do you have A5C6 or A5C8? Mine is A5C6 and it can be a bios problem.
---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
First problem, i've disabled USB Debug, now i can't do nothing.
It's showing me this error everytime:

"unfortunately, system ui has stopped" :/

Yeah your bugs look like bios used, no problem here even when turn off debug usb

yo whats swaggin
i've been trying to get android studio up and running on my computer, and i've been running it off of an external hard drive due to insufficient space.
everytime i try to download the system image for AVD, it results in the following error:
To install:
- Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image (system-images;android-24;google_apis_playstore;x86)
Preparing "Install Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image (revision: 19)".

"Install Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image (revision: 19)" failed.
Failed packages:

so...insufficent space? i have more than 900 gb available on my hard drive.
not really sure what the issue is so any input would be appreciated.
The problem is a that the directory for temporary files is too small to hold the system image. The solution is to resize the temporary directory (TEMP folder in Windows, /tmp partition in linux)
Hello everybody!
I am trying to install ARM Linux distributions on Samsung Galaxy Book Go Laptop but unfortunately none of the attempts have been successful.
The Samsung Galaxy Book Go Laptop features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 processor (Kryo™ 468 Octa-core CPU up to 2.55 GHz);
RAM Memory 4 GB LPDDR4x Memory (On BD 4 GB);
Qualcomm® Adreno graphics card;
Internal storage 128 GB eUFS;
Windows 11 ARM Operating System.
Attempts to install Linux Distributions were with the following images:
Debian arm64, Arch arm64, Ubuntu Server arm64, Manjaro arm64.
Unfortunately, I couldn't launch the Linux installation boot screen, what happens is that simply Windows 11 ARM starts, even with Security Boot disabled in the BIOS.
Would anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

How are you trying to boot into the installer media?? Are you pressing F8 during boot? Or going into Bios to change the Boot order?
If there is no Armbian for it, you can stop wasting your time.
I don't know if this is the correct place for it, but I somehow got a memory dump of the Tmo Galaxy Book Go 5G and wondered if it might be useful to any linux developer?
