Hi All,
I have seen in different builds that Android root location was located in "sdcard\Android".
How can you do this for builds that are located in "sdcard"?
....anyone?

Hi, im planning to buy a HTC HD2 these days and i will most likely use Android as the default OS. Now i wonder if the ROM must be installed on SD or can i just boot it? For example if i want to boot Sense rom one time and non sense next time, do i need to reinstall something or just boot it up?
Im really looking forward getting my HD2, ive been watching youtube like crazy now.. gotta go sleep hahah
There are boot loaders you can install in winmo. Some support multiple android builds which will allow you to choose sense/no sense builds on boot up. By doing so though, your data from your sense build will not be available on your non-sense build and vice versa.
Ignore the any "dual boot" app for a minute. Most Android builds I have seen can happily coexist with as many other builds as you have space for on your SD card. Just make sure:
* they reside in distinctly named folders (e.g. rename the build's Android folder to whatever you want)
* the startup.txt in each build's folder refers to the folder name (see instructions in the EBL thread)
As each build comes with clrcad+haret, you can now freely launch whichever build you want with File Explorer.
Note that the builds are not perfectly insulated from each other:
Most builds seem to use an "Android" folder on the SD card for various data and caches. Avoid putting a build in this folder! Be wary that data in this folder may be incompatible between builds, though I have not yet had such a problem. If in doubt, rename the folder to something else (or backup and delete) and reset your build.
Also note that many apps directly use the SD card for storage - this may cause data leakage between builds (I find it's a good thing, as data [like downloaded game files] and configs are basically reused).
I also find it very useful to "temporarily factory reset" a build. Basically, I rename data.img to data.img2 and reboot. This way I can figure out if a problem is caused by my own meddling, or by something in the build, then I rename back and reboot when done. I often keep a backup data.img in which I have only set up the barest essentials (OOBE, Market account, Ti-backup and Root Explorer) for such testing.
Now, for a "dual boot" WM app which supports several build folders, I recommend EBL.
As topic says, how do i auto install every apps i have upon booting a new build, so that i dont have to do it manually. I have read somewhere that we have to create a folder named "Androidapps" but im not entirely sure.
"android apps" folder is present in your "android" folder with each build...just put your apk files into this folder and boot up android...they are autoinstalled
Thanks, but im not sure the folder "android apps" is present in every build. But thanks anyway.
Hi all actually i'm running DFT NAND ROM and i'm just wondering how can i modify the system files as they are read only (for istance i'd like to edit build.prop or gps.conf).
Sorry for the noob question
Thanks all

You need to get root explorer. Google it for the apk. Then set your permissions to read/write in the app. Then you can easily modify those files.
Ok - other question, is there a way to modify or replace the file
/proc/calibration
I can replace the same file in two other locations (/system/etc and /etc) but not the one mentioned above. I tried with root explorer and adb - no success.
If not, i'll live with the generic mac-address
EDIT: i also tried a modified batch from mdj (I updated my kernel today with this one).
I accidently changed a folder name in registry/HKLM. I am using the latest stock rom 3.14. l need the folder name that contains the sub folder BootVars please. I'm afraid to turn off my phone. Thank you very much.
init?

Would you be able to check on your HD2?
Can't I'm on droid, but "hklm bootvars winmo" in google convinces me I'm right.
Hey guys, anyone know why or is having the same problem, I've flashed lots of roms but this time a folder named "0" was created and moved all of the folders and files from the root drive into that "0' folder. Then I flashed another rom and another "0" folder was created within that first folder and moved all the root folder and files into that one. Im using twrp and Im not doing anything different and its driving me nuts cuz everythings being tossed around in there and I dont know why!
It is happening to me too when I flash ParanoidAndroid on my N7 (although that has been the only rom that I have flashed on it thus far). But what I have been able to gather from reading around is that those sub folders is because of being able to add accounts now to Android. Although I haven't figured out why (or found a response as to why) it is moving them into a legacy folder (I think that is one of the folders is called that the info has been thrown into) and not been kept into the root folder or a way to fix it.
The 0 directory comes with the multiuser function of Android 4.2

You need to update your recovery. The latest version of TWRP works with the multiuser feature.
