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.

Sorry to beat the dead horse here, but did you ever actually get around to doing this?
Hi all,
Is there any chance to run Sailfish OS on a non-Jolla phone? I would prefer a bigger screen and I'd prefer to not wait for their phone.
Assuming that the drivers from Android are compiled for the same Linux kernel version as I want to run in Sailfish, they should be loadable.
So then it's just a question of whether Sailfish is written to use the same devices (in /dev) in the same ways.
Anybody know?
Cheers.

First of all, Sailfish is not yet released to public, and most propably wont be before Jolla phone hits markets. So you can't get it before

Nobody knows yet, because nobody hasn't been able to have a look at it, since it hasn't been released. But I doubt that the kernel would match, since it doesn't even match on different Android phones. There are always some minor changes.

Yes i think it will be possible run Sailfish on non-Jolla phone, anyway you should wait because there is no image for arm cpu in public.

in android devices in /dev very often is used from binary blobs.
and this blob compiled againts another libc called bionic and it is not compatible with glibc, but Jolla phone will use android drivers via special library.

Well, the Sailfish OS runs on linux kernel thats for sure and soon it will have the capability to run almost all of the android apks, which means it can not be totally different form android form 'under-the-hood' so there is always some room to try it on your android devices.
I haven't really tried to explore Sailfish OS much, but if u do, plz tell me and I would like to do it on my phone (Moto xt910).
If you come across any guide for installing Sailfish OS on non-jolla phones, plz post the links here.

you should understand that nobody care about your motorola or what ever device you own. 3.5 developers that can build nemo mobile image will not do it just because of your request.
If I remember right the first demo shown of it was on a nexus phone. so of course it will run on android phone.

Silica components and that fancy home screen are not open source
I must admit I really like this OS.. even if it is similar to blackberry 10 for some aspects.. if this os will be avaiable for rooted android phones, i will certainly install it on mine!
I'd install it fast if my phone could get this (LG L5), but I think it's too weak on it. Maybe Sony Ericsson xperia neo would take this.

since the N9 port of Sailfish OS is now available:
h**p://jollausers.com/2013/12/the-comprehensive-guide-to-port-sailfish-to-n9/
and the arm chipset in the N9 (OMAP3630) is equal to many Android devices like the Defy+ h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP it would be nice to hear that someone begins with the porting to other Android devices. Hopefully also for my Droid 4 (OMAP4430).

Hi,
is there any chance to install Ubuntu Touch on Galaxy Tab 4 7?
Or mayby Linux Deploy works?
Dude we haven't even got a recovery which will take months no to mention that which definitely take much longer
Sent from my SM-T230NU using XDA Free mobile app
Expect zero roms for the 7". And by zero I mean no cm, no aokp, no carbon, no nadda. Least not working ones. Touchwiz yeah. AOSP or even touch? Nope. Just ask the tab 3 7 inch guys that have a Marvell chip too
I was wondering the same thing. I guess you could always buy a nexus.
Great, now we have recovery.

Presently sitting on an old build ROM
Pixelized-OS-v2.9-20180816-SM-T230NU-FIX
That has worked relatively well even on this device with limited storage, processor, and memory. Either way, I'd love to help my unit has been rooted for 3 or so years and please let all of us know if we can help.
Please also note, I use this device only as a backup, so starting over and trying something fresh can happen quickly.

Android 10 should work with some optimization- porting the kernel to a relatively new version would likely be the hardest part.

I just found all device tree specific blobs and all that. Can start from there at least. Then once we get it booted and working then we can go for Android 8-10

How complicated is it to slim down the builds as much as possible?
I don't see needing all the extra TouchWiz crap that this device barely supports and had survived using Link2SD for storage. Something stable supporting at least basic apps is all I need, and most of those (Gmail, Chrome, etc) are now available from play store.
Thanks for trying and let me know if o can help! Sorli...

Hi, my advice is starting by taking sources from other variants (you can find them in GitHub S3NEO organization) and editing sources by starting from that base. For the kernel, it shouldn't be difficult to make a defconfig by always looking in matisse and millet ones. I advice you to start from Android 9 (lineage-16.0 branches) since they are the most stable. If you are really interested to work, you can write me in Telegram (same username as xda profile) and I can write you something more about what you should do.
Android 8, 9 or 10 will be nice, but right now I will be happy with Android 5. Are there any ROMs for degas higher than 4.4.4?
Are there any true Android 5 or Android 7 ROMs for this device?

For now most of the ROMs out there are based on touchwiz so they are 4.4 with themes. I hope devs can build proper Android 8+ ROM for our good old buddy

We can't because degas has different SoC and nobody of the devs have this device. So, we can't do anything.

Yeah that Marvell CPU and Vivante GPU is a real headache I guess. Why Samsung put them in it lol Maybe one day (when NewPipe stops fully working on my Tab 4) I'll grab a new Tab (probably S series this time).
