Soon we will start having cyanogenmod version for nexus 4 and at the beginning it will be unstable so I was wondering if any of you tried to install a dual boot on your nexus 4

Duel booting is very common on samsung phone s1,s2,s3 implemented into the kernel
but i haven't seen it on a nexus before.
Well Bootmanager lite is compatible with the previous nexuses
I have Boot Manager Pro, I will test it once I get my Nexus 4.
anybody try this yet?
Boot Manager Pro doesn't support Jellybean (yet).
so does anything work to dual boot yet?
There's a multiboot loader available for Nexus 7.
Maybe it will be ported to Nexus 4 some day...
is this possible on the nexus 4?

The creator will not do it because he does not have a nexus 4. So we have to do it ourselves, we can use his sources.
So how do we build it? are there instructions?

I wish I knew what I was doing to do something like this, but can anyone actually do this? If it is done for the nexus 7, I would imagine it should be able to be done for the 4?
I will begin trying to port this for the mako device next days, but I will have the Nexus 4 device in a few weeks only, so I would need some testers. Next weekendI'll post more details about my work if it goes well.
Adaptation of multirom
Hello,
I'm new on xda, but I have often used your tutorial to update my galaxy s to the latest version of android.
I am a newbie here but I know read tutorials, install and test firmware.

Today, I just got my nexus 4 and I want to help you. Have you made progress on the project to adapt MultiROM for the nexus 4?
I'm ready to test your version
Good Bye,

Thanks for giving your help. However I just grab sources from mako kernel and multiboot, didn't begin working on it yet, tomorrow I'll try. First step making kernel having kexec boot method.
Edit : have to dl linux and reinstall my bootloader, a upgrade of my windows made it go away. :s That's ironic, a broken dualboot on my PC prevents me to work on dualboot for the phone. Anyway will begin working on that this evening.
Please do update on this if you get it working. I would like to dual boot Ubuntu and my stock phone OS.

Of course, I'll ask a thread in the dev section when I'l need some testing. I don't promise any result, but think it will be easy to port, just need to spend some time. Will begin tonight.

has there been any progress on this?
Sorry to beat the dead horse here, but did you ever actually get around to doing this?
Ok, so I'm going to be making a ROM... shocker, right? Another scrub getting started with Android development.
I just have a few basic questions, mostly preference stuff, before I settle down for the long haul with my ROM. So here's a few generic questions, and if any DEV's or experienced users could answer I'd appreciate it.
1) MDL or MF9?! This question has been bugging me ALL day. I'm running MDL right now and have no issues with it, but I know MF9 has a few improvements over MDL. If MF9 is the "future" then should I flash stock MF9 and start developing for it instead of MDL?
2) IDE... Ok, so I'm a noob and am running Windows 8, lol. (I know, shoot me now.) Although I'm not opposed to downloading Ubuntu again and dual booting for DEV purposes, I'd prefer to stick to just Windows. So as far as Windows goes, what IDE should I be working with? I know that Eclipse is the running champion, but I also know that Android Studio is now officially backed by Google and is making some headway, although it's still in its early stages.
3) Stock or custom... So this question is more personal preference I suppose. Obviously I'm at no skill level to just be outright coding my own stuff. I need to start with a base and work up from there. The obvious answer to this is to copy someone else's ROM and build it my way. That way I can see how other people develop and can learn from them. But, I also know there's a benefit in starting fresh from stock, primarily so you don't have to deal with other people's bugs. Then I can add my own mods and code as I want. So.. as a noob, should I start with stock or build off of someone else's work?
Thanks for the responses

Here are my personal opinions. I am not a custom Rom builder because I like to stick closer to stock myself. So take this for what it is worth.
1. MF9 is the current OS version. So like it or not that is going to be the "supported" version until a new one comes out. I would personally work on that.
2. I use Eclipse myself and have not tried Android Studio. Although I will check it out now
3. I would say start with a clean base. I am really anal so even if I started from a full Rom as the base I would still end up tearing everything apart anyway to make sure I was happy with how things were done.

Thanks. Are you familiar with "android kitchen" at all? I needed to use it but then found out that the Sprint GS4 variant is untested with it. Does anyone know if it works for the SPH-L720 or not?

I am but haven't used it in a long time. So I am not sure if it works or not on the S4.
Ya, Eclipse is good. I'm barely starting to dabble in development also with eclipse. I'm assuming you will be doing a TW ROM from the sound of it. Its fairly simple but very deep and has a lot of step by step walkthroughs to vet you started.

Any experience with Android Kitchen? I'm looking at tutorials that rely heavily on it. But if it doesn't support the S4 then I won't even bother.

Yea, I just cooked my first ROM in it to test out. Nothing fancy, just for jfltespr compatability.
Hi guys! This is my first time posting on this forum, but i have come to many threads as a visitor to figure out problems regarding my google nexus 4 and i have to say this is one of the most useful forums ever! I can find nearly everything here, its totally awesome..
now to the point, my question is Which one gives faster and better performance? Cm10.1 or combination of kernel franco r136 and rom paranoid android alpha? because i recently saw a video on youtube where this person was testing custom nexus 4 vs stock samsung s4 and using only franco r136 and paranoid rom he increased his performance by A LOT (compared to my antutu benchmark which was utterly disappointing.. around 16.5k ) without overclocking..
if the combination is better than how to install the kernel and rom (can anyone link me to a noobs guide to installing roms and kernels?) because i just rooted my phone 3 days ago without checking the "custom recovery check box" .. (btw, the nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 is awesome!!!) ..
i am currently running stock kernel and rom i think and my phone is only rooted.. (kernel version: 3.4.0 and build number jwr66y)..
Thanks for reading my first post and thread!

oke a question though.. since posting in that thread without actually trying to install a rom or kernel would be useless..
if i make a backup of all my apps.. and say i install cm10.1 or the combination i mentioned in my first post.. will i be able to restore my apps using the nexus root toolkit or will i have to install all my apps from again..?
I have a touchwiz device so im not fully qualified to answer your question. Thats why I gave you a ask any question for your device thread. Most members use apps like titanium backup to back there apps up

I wanted this specific ROM for my nexus 4, because it's 4.2.2 JB. I tried upgrading to 4.3 pacman, and it overheated my phone, used all my RAM, just multiple problems. Any help find this ROM would be much appreciated.
Why is this in development section?

PACman works fine. There are no heating issues unless you use the phone heavily. I haven't read about heating issues in the latest posts in the PACman thread. Using the phone heavily gets you heating issues on any ROMs, even stock. Try a clean install.
Anyways, try keeping questions in the right section next time. There is the development thread, probably somewhere to post bugs, and also the Q&A thread.

My friend owns an samsung galaxy tab 4 t-230 and would love to upgrade it into a more pure android. Since i kind of got into android ROMs and there are no AOSP or CM roms for the tab 4 t-230 this would be a great chance for me to build a AOSP or CM rom. I have ubuntu 14.10 and a decent enough pc with 16 gb of ram and an i7. If anyone could help me abit of how to build a AOSP or CM rom for the device i would be verry thankfull.
----------------------Edit-----------------------
I wanted to say thank to you guys! I did quite some progress by now. If you own a t230 / nu then feel free to check out my custom kernel

Relevant post - some starting info, and check out the CM wiki he links to. Also, and this is a very basic step, but if you've never done this before it can be informative: download a rom zip file (preferably but not necessarily a stock-based kitkat rom for this device) and open it up in either 7zip or WinRar, check out the layout and structure, and familiarize yourself with the updater-script. (Actually you can do that with a firmware tar file too). Sorry I can't give you any more useful info, not a dev, definitely not a rom designer, just a guy who knows a fair amount of android stuff.
Also don't let the tone of that post discourage you; the poster was answering a guy who was basically asking about the feasibility of building a brand new rom for the sole purpose of being able to use one particular proprietary Samsung app. Yes it is difficult, but still doable, and you say you're motivated...
Yes i did forgot to say that any links for learning are appriciated
Well.. I would ask moonbutt74 for more info regarding commands and such, probably more info than I can give but.. keep in mind your going to have to download about 20+GB of source code and all that. Also a bunch more knowledge of more things I don't remember. But it is alot

Well I decided to revisit this thread. Never thought I would come so far. I really want to say thanks to all of you who supported me and still support me. Everyone has a beginning and here was mine. Now I am actually there where I really wanted to be. Releasing a custom kernel and finally work on a custom ROM! Thank you XDA!

Also I thank you my life for introducing me to moonbutt74. He learned me everything from how to work with custom kernels to Roms. Sadly he decided to stop developing a few Werks ago but he's doing it for his own good. I still will mention @moonbutt74 on my future projects because he really is the one who changed me from confused to knowing what is actually going on. So thanks allot !
