It is possible but not right now . meego is also based on linux and nokia releases N9 with meego. You can run ubuntu on the top of android in g3 as dual boot. but why you want other os, android is best even apple's iOS

Ya ubuntu as an os but when i installe d on my g3 i found that there is no way to access sdcard so imagine a pc witout hard disk for this you can do a google search with tag "nexusonehacks.net" or "how to install ubuntu on android" BTW if you don't like android then you will never like any other mobile os.
Does anyone tried this before, on our SG3
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.

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.

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.

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).

Would be great if it could run on Galaxy note 2 or 3.
So I decide to step up and buy the Zenfone 2 551. WW MODEL Should have it at my door step on Wednesday. Then fun begins. Going to build a Google edition rom for you all. Be less lag in the phone. With the most power out of the kernel. It will be designed. Around all 3 versions off the 550/551. Time to share some love. Please don't ask for a time stamp. As I am working around my twin boys schedule. After all that's done. I will build a killer theme for this also. To give more colors to work with. TWRP will be tweaked to run a lot smoother for us also. I already sent some emails out to people. To help out on twrp. As that is my weak point. Hope you guys are ready..

64bit x86 Android is different from 32bit version only by kernel (and some kernel related drivers). All libraries are 32bit. Stock ZF2 Android is exactly the same as so-called 64bit AOSP in terms of bitness.
This is standard for x86 Android builds.
Both 64bit and 32bit binaries are supported seamlessly even in stock Android - thanks to x86 instructions set. So, it's up to specific application developer choice how many bits to use in native code.
Thanks so much in advance

Mate, you'll ALWAYS get people crying... It is an unfortunate thing but there's alweays something someone doesn't understand, do or just plain f!cks up... And you as the dev will always be ground zero for the muck they throw...
So saying, I hope I haven't scred you off because we really need some devs for this puppy...
Has some pretty decent hardware and the software is sorta catching up but it would be nice for another dev's rom to be on the menu.

Linux in Stock ROM is 64bit. This is the *actual* OS.
Android is, hmmm.. how to say.. it's pseudo-OS which doesn't manage neither processes nor memory, but simply uses modified java virtual machine per process.
So, generally speaking, Stock ROM *has* 64bit OS. Only java machine i.e. Android is 32bit.
But, since real OS (Linux kernel) is 64bit, you can use 64bit applications. I mean Linux binaries and libraries.
I compile binaries on my Ubuntu x64 and can freely use them without any modifications on Zenfone 2.
There is NO Android exist which is fully compiled in 64bits on x86 architecture. You can check AOSP configs - all them are using 32bits. Only Kernel (i.e. Linux OS) is 64bits. And Android 5.1.1 has no changes in this subject.
It's like Windows x64 where you can use 32bit applications. So, Stock ROM is 64 bit OS with 32bit Android applications (including 32bit Android framework).
This poor device has been stuck on touchwiz 4.4.4 for a very long time, it would be great if somebody tried to port a good rom to it.

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.

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?
