[Q] Multiple roms in one Defy??

I have been wondering if we could install multiple ROMs in our phones at once and switch between them as we would wish. Thereby skipping the pain of making contacts and app backups.
After a bit of Googling, i came across an app named "Boot Manager",which allows you to install 5 ROMs at once, but alas, it doesn't support our defy...
It would be great if i could have MIUI in my phone besides CM7,
Afaik, Technically it IS possible...
The ROMs would be installed in our SD Card and the phone will then be able to boot images of the desired rom, we wish to switch to.
If anyone has any information, then please share.
This is a video of the app running in HTC Sensation. Do check it out.

Guys, we have to make this Awesome thing run in our defy...!! Anyhow..!!

Good question dude.
I've been wondering if I can have cyanogenmod installed and if I can switch back to stock incase I'm not satisfied with CMod.

Some good news,
The boot manager app can be used in Defy as well by configuring it manually using the adb shell.
Gonna try it in a day or two.

Exciting...that will certainly be great as changing ROM comes with the added hassel of redoing necessary housekeeping all over again...will keep watching!

Alright friends, so it actually is possible for us to use the boot manager app.
All we got to do is to manually configure the settings.
Here is what we need to configure:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have read in the help manual that the settings can be configured using adb.
But i dont have a pc with me these days.
So either if someone who knows how to use adb can find out the sizes of the folder and share here, or we will have to find a way to find out the size of the root folders using terminal emulator.
Further questions are welcomed.

we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

Someone test this ?
It's quite interesting, but what about applications, data etc, i think so one rom should be primary (in phone memory)

we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

The Total size that is allocated to these folders, not the used space.

You say that you have tried every version... Wud you please elaborate how you did that??
The settings need to be configured for which the size of the folders has to be known, and that can be done via adb.

device name:jordan
sd card block:/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
system size:325.1
data size:1200
cache:193.7
i tried these setings on latest cm7 and latest miui........
i have tried dese settings on bootmanager 2.0 and 2.1

How did you find the following values?? Using adb?
Next when i configured my boot manager with the settings provided by you and tried to install a ROM into the SD card it first asked me to choose b/w Ext2 or Ext4.
Then on selecting any of the above an error popped up saying "Error making img" - Error making img to hold filesystem.Please try again.

Yes using adb....u try out for your phone maybe our settings are different

are you set permision 777 and do you create partition your sd-card with ext-2? because i tray it on motorola and other device, i have'not poblem..
I think you must goto recovery mode and select wipe data/factory reset but you will be loss your application..
if it can't work you must flas with new ROM,, OR PM ME

Yup, flash new custom rom, that the solution

open better terminal emulator then type su then press enter. then type as2d cachesd then enter and wait until it reboot.

Avoid using a2sd.it reduces the life of your sd card.
Use link2sd.
Repencis 3.5 very well supports link2sd.
Ext4 partition is very good and fast. Easier too.

5. Restart your phone, Do not Restart From Quick Boot Default Link2SD.
6. Sign in to Link2SD, Continues To Setting And sure uncheck Auto Link, uncheck Relink lib files at boot, uncheck Relink dex files at boot
7. Login to continue Root Explorer, Continues To / Data/sdext2, and make sure none Folder Not There, If Yes, Delete Only
8. Return to /Data, Continuous Copy folder app, data, app-private and dalvik-cache to sdext2
9. If Yes, Go To sdext2 And Create Link on folder (app, data, app-private and dalvik-cache) Hold in Folder and scrool down and click Link To This Folder (do not click Create Link or Cancel, press back once and click Create Link (So Make Create link in /data not in /sdext2) do on folder app, data, app-private and dalvik-cache in /sdext2
10. If Yes, Restart your phone, and check the internal memory Now What
