Yeah that'd be cool

I've always wanted duel booting but with the saved data as well. My HTC inspire allowed (with an app) to duel boot but having to have backups and such.

Not sure with our HUGE 16GB we'll be able to dual-boot anything. We have trouble having one OS, lets not even talk about 2

LOL, seriously.... 16 GB should be more than enough. I still can't believe I actually ran out of space trying to do my second nandroid backup. There was only room for one.

16gb? Try 9.5. Its not enough to have what we want. I think it should be mandatory that they either put a second bootslot for system and one for user so we can get atleast 15gb or hell give us a 16gb sd card to go with it -.-

Not without a truly unlocked bootloader.

I'm sure we could dual boot with a debloated TW ROM and the GE ROM. Can't be the stock one. Has too much crap on it.

Without an unlocked bootloader, doesn't matter the TW size because we can't repartition.

it would be easy...if both are on the sytem partition that is...
the Stock rom is about 1.4 gb, debloat that and you can get it down to about 950mbs, thats almost 500mbs freed...and most aosp based roms are about 300mbs
so if both OS for dual boot are kept on system partition we should have no issue
HOWEVER, i am unsure if this would work on our ATT model as we have a locked bootloader...i have a feeling that our bootloader will not play nice with this type of mod

New to the tab 10.1 few questions

So I got this tab from a friend for free and need to make it better.
First I need to figure out the teems I'm reading in development. I see things like p4 and p4wifi. According to my settings this is a GT-P7510. Does that = a p4wifi?
Second I know how to root (have a GS3) but not sure which rom is the one I want. I'm thinking of going to JB, but I've read something about updating the boot loader. I haven't seen any threads on that though.
Any help you could give would be great.
Yes gt-7510 = p4wifi
And if you want jelly bean you need to flash the newest recovery. You can find them all with instruction on this site: droidbasement.com
En welcome to the club bro

To upgrade bootloader, you could use Odin to put a stock 4.0.4 rom on it and then flash the latest CWM to flash CM10.

You don't have to upgrade it to use CM10, but it helps.
Also new to the galaxy tab (but familiar with flashing roms, kernels, etc). I see 2 development sections, so what is the difference between 10.1 and 10.1v. Thx guys.

If I remember that far back the "v" was an early model, very thick different camera specs and processor speed. As soon as the 10.1 came asking in June 2011 the v sank without trace.
To answer OP am running AOKP jellybean 4.1.2, rock solid, snappy and vanilla android if that's your thing.... tis mine as I run Gnex's as well. Love it!

Root or not to Root

You guys have prob seen a thread like this a million times, but I am getting my nexus 4 soon and I wasn't sure if i should root it or not. I have rooted before (droid x2, galaxy nexus, nexus 7) so I am fairly familiar with how the process works. I will not loose my updates from Google if I root and stay on stock ROM? That's what I would plan on doing anyways if I did. Thanks for the help!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Just Google some of the benefits of having root.. if any of those sound appealing to you then... root it. If not, don't. Buuuut since you've already been rooted with several devices, you should already know if you should root or not. But thanks for making a new thread for this personal decision that you've made 3 times before
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 2
In his defense this is a different devices I rooted and flashed rooms on my gs3 and gs2 but have not rooted or anything to this device but the key is yet right now haven't found a huge reason to do so this rom works perfectly for me and I get a days use out of it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I just couldn't stand it no more and rooted after 1 month. Also flashed clockworkmod.
Went to Nightly Mako.
I love the device but feel the new Clockwork mod's blobs folder, unable to access backups so easy, and the dam memory size...
I hesitate and hope Nightlies are flawless. Frankly its awesome. So are is the Stock ROM.
I just prefer CM10.1
ROOT!!
If I were to flash nexus 4 PA would I need to wipe system as well as do a factory reset in recovery? The directions just say factory reset.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You had better gain root... Gaining root denotes a gain not a loss. Unlocking the bootloader means your unbacked data would be lost. So back up data and root and enjoy. And yes you may wipe system I recommend it.

Clearing up RAM

Hey guys. So what's the best way to clear up RAM on my s4. Since I'm mf3 I can't install any roms. And my phones always 1.2gb being used after I've closed all apps and cleared the ram. Any tricks out there?
Thanks

In Linux, unused ram is wasted ram. My used ram is usually about 1.2 gb too.

Read the General Section. Look for MF3 threads. You can install roms. If you have a 16gb phone, memory may be tight.

Do not try to install a custom ROM if you're on MF3 - read around, no recovery, so if you mess it up somehow then you're hosed. 1.1-1.5gb used is common and unless your device is getting warm/hot - you're okay.
Well,
You "can" do it. Yes, you need to read and weigh pros and cons for you. Internal will still be about what you have. It is what I have. And, again a 16gb phone may may be "starpped" doing this--
If you haven't already found them--

[Q] Couple noob questions about CyanogenMod

1) What are the benefits of CyanogenMod over stock?
2) Is CyanogenMod rooted or do you have to root it separately?
3) Does anyone know if they implemented TextSecure in their stock messaging yet?
4) Is switching back as simple as flashing the stock rom?
Cyanogenmod is better than stock for so many reasons that I'm not going to type them all out. Google that one.
It is a rooted rom.
I have no idea. Check the changelogs at www.get.cm
Yes.
Keep in mind that Cyanogenmod is only available on a very limited number of S4's running <MF3 firmware. For the majority of users who own thus device, it's not even an option.

Googling it came up with conflicting info. My about device page says I337MVLUEMK6, so I should be fine, right?
No. That's a 4.3 OS if I'm correct.

Just bricked sounds a little light hearted. Yes probably a paperweight. You aren't even going to get as far as putting the custom recovery on it. If you flashed in safestrap you would wind up with a black screen because no kernel support yet.

Not until hashcode can get the custom kernel hand off to work with safestrap. Then they could do something. Until then no AOSP Roms will work.

Verizon S5 ROMs

So the reason why I even wanted to get a ROOT access to my galaxy S5 for verizon is to really be able to put a custom ROM on my machine such as Omega ROM. But I cannot seem to find any anywhere that are specifically for 900V. Can anyone provide me with a sense of direction or a link or two?
Thanks much!

Well, unfortunately you're going to have to wait for awhile. Even through you can now root the retail version of the S5, there is no custom recovery as of yet, so you can't flash a custom ROM. The retail version of the Verizon S5 has a locked bootloader with no know exploit at this time. Hopefully someone will find an exploit for the bootloader or a version of SafeStrap will be developed that works on the S5, but even at that you will only be able to flash Touch Wiz based ROMS with SafeStrap. That is why you can't find a ROM for the retail version of the Verizon S5.

Thats odd.. I cant seem to find any roms for 900V either! Maybe because there isnt any .. fyi the creator of safestrap is said to be done travelling by tonight so maybe hell get some time soon to help build ss for our device n we could at least flash tw roms.
