dualboot idea? - Atrix 4G General

I was just thinking as an idea or suggestion for the atrix it'dbe cool if there was a dual boot for it haha. i don't really know alot about this phone so i'm what my name is when it comes to developing although i wanna learn how to develope mods and stuff. but is there a way to somehow put 2 roms together and have the phone think one is webtop and can view it on the phone? like to have cm7 as primary then put miui in the webtop partition since they use the same kernel (I think?) lol or is this something that can never happen? just wanted to stir up some ideas. also probs to the people who make my phone 10X better.

Crazy Idea

Hey so recently I had an idea that could get implemented in an AOSP rom. It would obviously need developed first and all of that good stuff as right now it is only a concept, but what if we, the members of XDA, made our own skin. HTC has Sense, Motorola has MotoBlur, and Samsung has TouchWiz, but what if we made something like HeroWare or something like that. Just an idea but it should be like very minimalistic, pretty much based off of adw launcher. Or another idea is what if we made a skin that looked like honeycomb and then just through it over CM7. I would not know how but we could make soft keys and make our own widgets, etc. LMK watcha think and if you'd be interested in trying to help me get this going.
Nope
®patience is a virtue©
I think the idea is good, but it would be more trouble than its worth to maintain, provide support for numerous devices, and really to be useful. I mean 3rd party launchers basically are "hacker" skins if you think about it.
I think its a creative concept and is possible but not very practical.

this would be asking way to much our development team is stretched pretty thin as it is, and that's what custom home launchers are for, and there's literally hundreds of them in the market.
Hmph, and all I asked for is a simple froyosense w/ espresso Rom port.
I sir give you an A for effort

beautiful thought, and i commend you for that.. however, the dev scene in the hero world is rather lite at the moment.. so unless you have the skills to do it, bff's with a great dev, or just get really lucky; it probably wont happen.. plus like was mentioned cross device support would be nice.. you will need to try and get someone who would be willing to put the time into it.. that would be the key, and the hardest key to find.. there are a few devs left and one might take it up, it never hurts to ask.. just dont keep your hopes too high..

Attention Devs

Didn't want to post this in the dev section because its not very fitting for there..
But anyway,
Was hoping you guys could all get together and make one ULTIMATE rom. Also side note. As many of you know, each rom has a slightly different theme or look to it and some people may love it and some people may not. So PLEASEEEEE post screen shots of your rom. Not worth it to wipe your phone, everything besides sd card, and finish the process to come find out that you dont really like the look. (I havnt done this! Just a suggestion for people who have and they would love you for it)
So for this ultimate rom, preferably of course, ICS. As close as possible to android 4.0.. Especially for the Evo 4G users because we dont get the update in 2012 =/ just boring old 2.3.. bleh.. damn Evo 3D.. Back to my point.
Ive noticed some teams are a team, and throw bits and pieces together from other roms of their team members, but as ive noticed, not ALL seam to work on everything together..
Would be nice to see every team make a ROM, Representing ICS. But using their BEST work to make it the thing their most proud of (besides family of course. Maybe not so much your wife if you hate her).
Im not sure what you guys would think would be most smooth and power efficient, and be as close to stock as possible.. Not sure if Sense or w/e would.. Hopfully you guys do.
Hoping you guys could get in the basics. Camera, 4G, Wifi, etc..
Uh how about.. no
Just putting this out there until there is a good source aka an htc device with ics its hard to do this also I get where your going but trust me the only ultimate rom is one you make for yourself. Not everyone wants the same thing

[Q] Where can I find Nookie Froyo

As the title states, where can I find the nookie froyo 0.6.8 emmc flashable zip? I know that every other rom is better but someone is paying me to get this on her nook and I can't find it anywhere. All the links here are dead.
Just tell them that CM7 is better and use that. I don't see why anyone would want to be using an outdated and dead rom...

Trust me I tried telling her that
You may have tired telling her that but it really is a disservice to put that on anybody's device. I am guessing she has absolutely no idea about anything having to do with the Nook and simply repeated something she heard somewhere.
Throw CM7 on there and she won't know the difference. Thankfully for her it will be much better than the alternative. If she does want something else after having CM7 you can always change it at that time.
Ooooor i could just put cm7 on it and slap on the retrodroid theme
BAM! She'll never know the difference.
Thanks for the replies guys

If she doesn't even tell the difference then as a friend, you should let her know in detail what that is and about, not tricking her into some old stuff. Let her know that the Froyo is like Windows 98 (if she uses Windows at all) and nowadays we all use Win7, and Win8 is around the corner. Froyo is just that, CM7 (or gingerbread alike) is Win7 and ICS is Win8.
Make sure she understands that.
Be a good friend.

That's actually exactly what I ended up doing lol I told her about the retrodroid theme and that's the whole reason she wanted it (the froyo look)
She's using cm7 now and loving it.
Everybody wins!

new dev

i just wanna let you guys know that still are using the fascinate daily im gonna be trying to give you guys some new things to play with.... i just came across a few ideas... its gonna be different than what is avaliable now... just cm7 based
dunno if that is a good idea or not, not many people use anything other than ICS, and those that do mainly only do it because things like card readers and Bluetooth don't work right in ICS.

[Request] Official Multiwindow on Tab 2

Hey guys, as we all now there is a multiwindow feature on the s3/note2.
I would like to have this feature on the tab 2 (10.1) too. Are there any devs who would take a look at it? By maybe porting it?
I saw some apps but don't realy like it.

but not fully fumctional
Supersonic hd is very buggy, i tried it just for the multiwindow and it was a waste of time cause depositefile server is REALLY slow.

So... anybody ?
Well el_venga I will await the rom you are building. Dont dis peoples free dev work on a dev site. If you want something then learn to do it. This isnt what this site is about. Whining about something gets you nowhere. This site is a place for you to learn how to do stuff yourself. It seems more and more people are coming here to "pimp" their phone.

I think this feature is kinda complicated to port, since you need to mess up a lot of things in framework (I mean, I don't think it's possible in an easy way like porting to stock without messing up a lot of things).
For example, I like the lockscreen from S3, but lockscreen is something terrible to do inside the framework in this case (yes, I've already tried to port, even for galaxy nexus).
There are 2 Dual Screen apps in Google Play that work well.
Can you tell me the name?

im not whining. its a fact. i gave my opinion about the rom cause i tested it and it has bugs. other users in the same section said it also and we are just waiting. i mentioned the waste of time cause of depositefiles, not the rom. i have 2mbps connection at work and it was WAY lower than 256kbps. i test a lot of roms for my devices and i never whine about it. dont judge me for a misunderstanding. i apoligize if i offended you in anyway.
btw i am a programmer, not of this kind of software, but i am, and i know what it takes to do what devs do. have a nice day.
I apologize as well. Lately on my phomes forum there a lot of new people requesting the hell out of stuff and complainimg about everything. I program too at work.
