[Q] boot from usb?

hi peolpe, a friend of mine has a 02 joggler and somehow can boot it from usb to run windows on it, is this possible for the nexus 7 to boot from any other option or is it just stuck to the primary partition?
kindest regards
phil

Windows on the nexus 7 is not possible. But it sounds like you want MultiRom.

Did you unlock your nexus 7's bootloader, flashed new ROM but messed something up and it doesnt boot? Or did you drop it and it doesnt boot anymore? Or did you hacked into Pentagon with it and FBI and CIA blocked your nexus 7 so it doesnt boot anymore? What happened? Be "a little" more specific please.

Nexus 4 Multiboot?

Is there a multiboot method for the Nexus 4 yet? It's running up on a year since its release and I've yet to see one. And if there isn't, does anyone have a reason as to why?

Well it will limit the storage ALOT, the Nexus 4 has a bit too much partitions and since there is no external SD I would say fat chance.

Well, it still wouldn't hurt to have the actual method be there. I'd like it for trying out ROMs.

Is there any reason as for why you'd like to do this? This isn't like Linux and Windows where you have incompatible apps.
I think the easiest way to play with different ROMs is to create a Nandroid backup with either TWRP or Clockworkmod Recovery, backup your user apps with TiBu, and load a new ROM. Whenever you install a new ROM, create a new Nandroid backup, and you will be able to flip back and forth between ROMs easily.
Currently I have backups for both Android 4.3 stock/rooted and one for my latest tweaks in Paranoid Android 3.92. I probably won't go back to stock Android until Key Lime Pie comes out, but when it does, I'll backup my apps with TiBu, make another Nandroid of PA, restore my stock backup, update the app data with TiBu, and upgrade to Android 5. Quick and efficient with no data loss.

There are those ROMs out there that, with a majority being compatible with the apps, some aren't or are vastly different in their operation on the device. Ubuntu and MIUI being examples of incompatible apps and a completely different firmware and closed source kernel, respectively. If you've heard news of the Ubuntu Edge, you'd see perfect reason for dual booting.

That is different though, the Ubuntu Edge has 128GB of internal storage which is used for dual booting and speed so you can install many apps on Android and Ubuntu.
The 16GB variant of the Nexus 4 is not even half way at all.
MIUI runs android with a skin and Ubuntu uses CyanogenMod firmware and a Android kernel so I am pretty sure that both use Android.

I love it on my 16gb o.g. nexus 7 I have Ubuntu and pa and rasbean... My n4 is a 16 as well... It would be nice... Maybe when its made for the new n7
Sent 4rm my Nexus 7 FLO... Only thing missing is O.G. N7's development...

That's what I'm thinking. I mean, the N7 is essentially a giant N4.

decrytion an encryted nexus 7?

Please help me. I'm using a cook rom with custom recovery.
how to decrytion an encryted Nexus 7?

Depending on what bit encryption, it's nearly impossible without a super computer, or the encryption key.

Windows 8.1 install

I have seen threads referencing that Win8.1 can be installed on this device and Microsoft lists that it is compatible. I am, however, not finding any solid instructions for installing Windows on this device. Is there possibly a how-to for this?

You can't install win 8 on this device.
It is compatible with win 8 meaning it can connect to the tab 4 with drivers installed on win 8

Has anyone successfully installed Win 8 RT on a Tab 4?

Doubt it

Just try it, what's the worst that can happen?

Yeah I don't know if this will work win 8 isn't meant to be on a ARM device

there is an ARM build if you can figure out how to get it off a MS tab and put it on a samsung. Good luck.
