[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

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

Re-Partition Internal Sdcard for App Instaallation Space

App for repartitioning your phone's internal memory.
Meteos MTK6589 ROM EDIT
This app will allow you to change your phone's data partition size.
Since most people have a MicroSD card for storing their files on, the internal sdcard is just a waste of space and can be put to good use for storing apps.
This app allows you to do so.
Requirements:
Xolo Q700/Q700i
Root access
A custom recovery
YOU ARE DOING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
(Although no serious harm can be done when correctly using this tool)
Instructions:
Make a backup of your files in your recovery (if you want to preserve them) and make sure they are stored on the external sdcard.
Download, install and start the Meteos app for your specific ROM size and choose your desired Data partition size.
Press "Reboot into Recovery" and choose "'Wipe data/Factory Reset" on CWM or Wipe internal storage on TWRP.
Restore your backup.
Profit.

there s no 4 gb file, u just have to download a,small file 64 kb or something, just download thd apk file, the apk file is different for 4gb,8gb,16gb,32gb rom phones, if u are using a 4 gb rom phone, like our q700/q700i/q800, u have to dl meteos app for 4 gb rom,
and you only have to download one small file.

not able to download the english version for 4gb phone. I downloaded the foreign language version. Here is it attached.

Noticed two major problem here.
After re-partitioning using the tool, when you go to the recovery and factory reset, it throws an error that it cannot umount emmc and then the phone is looked in boot, doesn't start at all. AFter this, you need to flash Q700i rom and start from scratch.
However, if you wipe Data, the phone does start but it still gives the error that it cannot umount emmc.
Any help here.

It works perfectly bro, in recovery u jst have to factory reset only and reboot. Also, u must hv q700i stock rom installed.

You can still transfer files to/from your SD card as long as it's still connected to your phone. If you eject the SD card from the phone, you won't be able to use it anywhere unless you put it back.

[BetoOS] [ROM 5.0.2. Modded version] [16-09-2016]

UPDATE 16-09-2016
Hi!
This is BetoOS ROM 5.0.2. Modded version for Idol 3 [4.7] 6039
Note: If you install this ROM is by your own will, the responsibility for any damage that may occur is entirely yours.

A) Like my other version, IF you have a primary ext4 partition with 4GB in micro SD Card it will send all apps and updates to your SD Card releasing space in internal Storage, do backup first than only need to add this boot.img in to ROM zip and RENAME IT TO mmcblk0p23.
BOOT.img -> mmcblk0p23
To create a primary ext4 partition use Mini partition Tool, like this video:
The example shows how to create a 8GB partition but is to big... 4GB, i think will do the job:
https://youtu.be/7st6838_aAg
Read this: You need a fast Cat10 micro SD Card. This tweak from above doesn´t work with all micro SD Cards and create a bootloop, to fix just return to default boot from the backup.
Unlock bootloader and Flash TWRP 3.0.0-0 (my version or flash will Fail!)
Use this tool "Idol_Suite" it will help you to unlock bootloader and to install TWRP 3.0.0-0, etc, etc in a easy way. Extract from the zip, open it and execute the Idol_Suite.cmd, follow what it say! Try it!
If you upgrade to MM truh TWRP backup and want to rollback just insert this ( default ) LL BOOT.img in ROM zip AND RENAME IT mmcblk0p23, i don´t know if work on OTA upgrade, i think not...
BOOT.img -> mmcblk0p23
If you want to use a ext4 partition from micro SD Card use the BOOT.img from above. A)
Now, the ROM:
BetoOS_ROM-Modded_5.0.2-16092016.zip
https://mega.nz/#!O8RjHYgY
Key: !UU-EAFZTaUDO-TQgSth9WYk5vs5ZLzxBZwFR1208mgw
NOTE: The first boot is long! If you ear the boot sound music everything is fine, just wait to finish!
Check here some ROM pictures...
