cool. hey what rom is that pictured on the screenshots? looks like a white GB theme with a different battery icon
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
hmm...well since i have four rom's on my phone and have probably had about 10 different rom's through out today it could be anything...if I had to guess from the color of the font I think it was probably miui rom.
[Droid Incredible General] jesssiii:
Conap, thanks!

The technical explanation you gave was way over my head, but I have a question. What's the difference between using my CWM backups of the roms I make after modding them, and using your application to swap modded roms?

I hope you'll forgive my ignorance, as I'm not a geek, I only play one on TV ;-)

DInc + Zeam Launcher

Chad's Incredikernel

CM7 Nightlies
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
There is no easy way to do it but you could do it. You would need to go to recovery and using adb shell mount the img's of the rom you want to move to the phone and then copy all the files back to the phone's partitions.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
I wouldn't try it if you're not comfortable with adb. If you are comfortable, basically I wiped phone ROM and reversed the logic from the installer.zip. installtoimg.sh is a good starting point. Since I didn't write it down, it'll be hard to outline steps as I referred to that script as I went along.

If you are not comfortable with adb then, I'd recommend though just taking a full backup in titanium including system data, installing your current ROM(+kernels+mods+themes if desired) then restoring all apps+data. You can restore system data here (it should be fine as the system settings are going to be exactly the same). Market app launchers can usually backup desktop and settings so you don't have to setup home screens again.

EDIT: What Conap said in more words, lol.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
So, a loop file system was used to resolve the RFS lag on Galaxy S phones by mounting an ext4 filesystem on RFS, so I believe there's gotta be a way to get around the lag here. I still love this project, but I would love to find a way to resolve this lag as I just re-experienced CM7 again without the lag and it's buttery smooth, especially when you can change animation speeds to fast to make it feel even faster and still keep screen on and screen off animations.

I wanna try some of the new Gingersense roms without lag.

Still it's the best multiboot project I've seen on Android so far.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Yeah I've looked through all thier stuff many times...but of course it's different hardware so may be that their cpu can handle it better then ours...of course I'm still looking for ways to improve it though.
[Droid Incredible General] tristenrymes:
how does installing-app using work? Does the emmc roms use the apps on the phones main memory or installed apps get kept with the emmc roms space(files)? Anyone know how does the installing/using the apps work? thx.
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
The apps install to whatever rom you are using at that time.
[Droid Incredible General] unCoRrUpTeD:
There's ways to share apps between roms. I have most of the code written for it. It will share any apps that are in data. I've been looking at a way to share other data as well, like mms, sms, and call logs.

Conap, I'm going to get in touch with you to collaborate on some things.

[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
So if I want to update an EMMC ROM, will it wipe out the ROM I have installed to MY PHONE before I run the upgraderomX.zip?

Thanks for the assistance.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Yes you will have to wipe the phone rom to flash the emmc rom and the updates to the phone and then the upgraderom.zip......
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
Thanks. Makes sense. At this point I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I installed a ROM to ROM1. The phone booted to it properly. Then I installed my daily rom to PHONE using the proper process.

Now the only ROM my phone boots is PHONE, even if I open DXR and select ROM1. Any thoughts?

P.S. The ROM I tried to install to ROM1 is from a Nandroid Backup FWIW
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
I have Clcok Recovery 3.0.0.7. I upgrade it to 3.0.0.8 in Rom Manager. Iit says I have upgraded to 3.0.0.8, but when I actually boot into recovery, it says I have 3.0.0.7.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
When you open the app to try to boot to rom1 does it reboot to the phone rom or just doesn't reboot at all? Check on your internal storage/emm in rom1 folder to see if there is a boot.img there.

You can flash the recovery manually...there are guides here on xda how to do it. It's fairly simple. Maybe you could also try wiping the data/cache of RomManager to see if it still says you have 3.0.8 installed.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
A) When I open to app and try to boot to rom1 it DOES reboot to phone rom. So at least I have a working phone. I'll check the rom1 folder to see if there is a boot.img in there. I deleted it but will run the process again to let you know.

I also wiped the data for Rom Manager but still have the same problem. There are so many different guides. I'll try to find the correct one to update to 3.0.0.8.

Will keep you informed. Really want this to work.

Another user who needed 3.0.0.8. I had to manually flash it since Rom Manager wouldn't properly do it.

How does XDA NOT have it's own line of phones?
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
the new version to this app is in the market as BootManager...check out the site in my sig for more info if your interested. You guys can still use this system if your happy with it and I'll continue to try to help sort out problems with it too.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
Very cool. 2 questions about Boot Manager.

To flash an upgrade that doesn't require full wipe just check the biz clean system? does it install to the slot without wiping out the Phone Rom? Our would I need to flash a nauseous of phone rom after?

2) if I purchase the app will it read my current setup or do I need to start from scratch?
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
the app will read the setup you had from the beta app you tested...if you were using the older system in this thread you would need to start over. If your flashing a newer version of the rom say going from cm nightly 90 to nightly 91 you would choose just wipe sytem. If your flashing an add on like gapps which is not a full rom then don't check any of the wipe boxes. The new app won't wipe anything on your phone rom when installing to sd.
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
By starting over you mean flashing and storing each Rom to the emmc again, correct? No short cuts? In addition one of my slots on emmc is a custom sized one, does BootManager allow for that? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
correct the structure of the folder system is different...and the boot.img point to a different spot. BootManager does allow for custom sizes if you hit menu /settings manually set variables...you can set different sizes. Alternatively if you wanted just one of your rom's img to be bigger you could manually make that img like you did with this system.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
How long should the first boot of a ROM take? mine stayed on my splash screen for a really long time. I finally pulled the battery after maybe 15-20 minutes.

The zip to boot into

The Phone Rom recovery worked GREAT though.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
No it shouldn't be on splash screen that long...it does take a little longer then normal but you should at least see the boot animation after a few minutes.
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Thanks. Also, does BootManager use the emmc or the SD card? Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
it uses emmc by default for the inc but you can select to use sdcard instead in settings.
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
Any performance difference when using SD card?
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Thanks for the response. Ditto the question about performance differences of emmc vs sd card.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Depends on the sdcard really...I have a class 10 card and it's pretty good but still suffers some from the lag of the newer sense ports. Sdcard's are funny though...some class 10's might be faster then others...some class 2's may be faster then higher class cards so it's hard to tell what each card will do.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
Purchased the app. Any reason dualromx2 still shows up in the app drawer?
[Droid Incredible General] nagasgura:
not sure whether to get the app or not. I already have a great settup and I don't want to have to redo it all. Would it be possible to copy the emmc folders (rom1, rom2, etc.) and use them with the new app?
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
DualRomX2 was a completely seperate app so you can just uninstall it.

No unfortunately it won't work right...it might work right if you leave the img's in emmc/romx and move just the boot.img to BootManager/romx folder. That way the new app still find the boot.img but when the boot.img boot's it still finds the other img's where they need to be. I can't guarantee that will even work though cause we wrote a ton of checks into the new app to make sure everything is there and get's done right so there aren't issues when you reboot.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
Any reason not to install to emmc other then no update.zip for that slot? Can I clear salvia in an emmc installed rom? My guess is no.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
if you use emmc there are zips for recovery too but they stay in the BootManager folder on sdcard. If you have a faster sdcard (class 6 or up) then sd might be faster then emmc for you. what is salvia?
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Sent an email for support on BootManager. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
I meant dalvic cache but forgot and predictive text changed it to salvia. Sd card felt faster but I had done force closes I don't have on emmc.

I don't see an update.zip for rom1 in the bootmanager folder on my sd card but I do for phone rom. Not a big deal to me but I assume your want feedback.
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
So, if a person really wanted, he could use both apps, and have 9 roms at his disposal? Provided that the SD card was used with Boot Manager.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
clear cache from extras in the app...thanks i'll look into the zip issue. for emmc it would be called bootrom1-emmc.zip or something like that.

yes...but really the new app will handle istalling sdcard and emmc. but when you go to install or to the boot menu to choose a rom to boot too it will display what you have selected. So you could install rom's to sd and emmc and then if you want to boot to emmc rom just check it in settings or if you want to boot to sd rom just uncheck emmc in settings.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
Email sent to support address.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
To clear dalvic cache in extras is it Application Cache or SD Cache?
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
application cache
[Droid Incredible General] nagasgura:
In the old version, the DX2 app stopped functioning, and brings up the bootloader instead of booting into the selected rom.

Also, is there any chance you will make a lit version with a limit on the number of roms or something?
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
the app limits 4 roms for emmc and 4 for sdcard.
[Droid Incredible General] nagasgura:
I know, but it would be nice to have a lite version for free that for example only lets you have 2 roms, or only lets you use the emmc or something like that.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
I wish I could do it for free but this app has taken approx 40+ hours a week for the last month to 2 months and will continue to require that amount of time for a while. I also am not working alone and don't feel it would be fair to my other team members to put that much time in for nothing as well. Unfortunately you can't offer ad-supported root apps for android anymore because most of the rom's include ad blockers by default and the one's that don't usually have them installed shortly after which is fine if you want to do it but it really does hurt the dev's that try to support themselves with ads. Our team does want our customers to be 100% sattisifed and we realize that the return times in the market are too short to really test an app like this so we do offer to refund your purchase at anytime if you just shoot us an email :)

Also when I get time I'll try to open a central support thread for the app so it doesn't tie up this thread since they are actually 2 separate projects....
[Droid Incredible General] smarcin:
Since the Evo 3D now has S-OFF and root, are you working to add support for it in Boot Manager? I hope so, even though we don't have many ROMS yet! I have no problem with purchasing your app when it will work on the 3D!
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
My partner on BootManager just picked up an Evo 3D so it will be supported as soon as rom's are available...sounds like an awesome phone...I wish vzw would get thier act together and get some better phones.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:

[Droid Incredible General] FramCire:
I have had similar problems. Email the developer, he is very responsive.

in cred I ble
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Well BootManager install's the rom's through the app while the phone is booted. You don't have to wipe the phone rom to do the installs or flash a whole bunch of zips in recovery. It also has backup and restore features for the sd or emmc rom's. You can also choose to use sd instead of emmc if you prefer

after install rom1 2 3 4 and phonerom ,all og them seems ok.

but if i upgrade(or reinstall) rom1( or 2,3,4),boot in rom1 it is ok, and then i load drx4 app

select jump to phonerom and want to boot back phonerom , machine loop boot and dead

how can i do?
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
is there a way to transfer my current phone rom to a different slot. tried nandroid but won't boot I'm using the newest CWM 5.0.2 and the rom i want transfered is cm7.1 rc1. oh and I'm using boot manager
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
If you are using BootManager, you need to install it to one of the slots. It will be like a new install of that rom.
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
i know i can install it as a new rom but i wanted to know if it is possible to just transfer it some how cause i dont feel like setting it all back up again. lazy i guess but would be a nice option if possible
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Just like a new rom.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
Bootmanager in version 2.0 can install roms from a nandroid backup so you can backup your rom and use Bootmanager to install that way.
[Droid Incredible General] blcklab:
Can it install a rom slot backup to Phone Rom?
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
yeah i tried that but won't boot stays at splash screen. did ext4 and ext2 I'll try again

i want to transfer so i can run the bliss port on the phone rom cause it lags way to much from emmc
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
Try this. Uninstall bootmanager and reinstall it. That should also clear data from the app as well. It should take more than 3-5 minutes to install. If it installed quickly it probably didn't install properly.

I had an issue where I upgraded to 2.0 that it didn't populate all the needed files in it's /data/data folder so reinstalling and clearing the apps folder in /data/data helped.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Also make sure the kernel for the rom you're booted into supports ext4 if you use the ext4 option. I know you said the same happened for ext2 so it may be similar to the issue I had.
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
If you do a backup via Boot Manager, say from slot 1, you can only restore that backup back to slot 1.
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
using Chads 8-15-11 not sure which ext that is. also did retry uninstalling then reinstalling everything.when i get a sec ill upload the txt
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
here is my log if it helps
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
plus you can't back your phonerom up via bootmanager anyway. must nandroid restore phonerom. but not booting wonder if its the newer CMW
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
update: yep nandroid to slot with the new CWM doesn't work. i rolled back to 3.0.0.8 and bam worked 1st try
[Droid Incredible General] pk2018:
every time reinstall rom1 can not boot from phonerom again in dxr4 apps.

flash with cwm5

reinstall rom1 ,reboot rom1 ok.

then i have to do reinstall phonerom, and flash phoneromintsall again

sad
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:
Did you set up the phonerom
[Droid Incredible General] jlokos:
I have had this happen occasionally. It seemed to be solved by wiping dalvik and cache partition before flashing phonerom install. In fact, I perform a wipe before installing any of the roms.
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Just to be clear, what are you wiping and when? Thanks for the help.
[Droid Incredible General] pk2018:
my question:

flash 1-4 and phonerom, all is ok!

then

if you reflash or update rom1-4 ,you must reflash phonerom and reflash phoneromintsall.zip

otherwise you cant boot from phonerom from any drx4 apps in rom1~4

why?

it should not be that
[Droid Incredible General] jlokos:
I'm not sure I understand your question. If you properly installed the phonerom, you shouldn't have to reflash the phonerom after you reflash one of your other roms. If you do, then it is likely it was not installed in the first place. Once properly installed, you should be able to open up the DualRomX-2 app and boot into any rom including the phonerom.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Before I flash the rom installer or the phonerom installer, I wipe dalvik cache and cache partition. For example, I'm trying out a new rom on my phone and want to install it as rom 4 on my phone. I go into recovery, I wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, and then flash rom4installer.

None of the instructions mention doing it this way, but I have found that the rom properly installs when I use this method. LOL :)
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Okay, sure then when you boot into one of those Rom slots it just builds the cache at that time.
[Droid Incredible General] Paintboarder:
Could someone make a youtube tutorial or an over simplified instructuons? the instructions in op are confusing to me.
[Droid Incredible General] jtheis23:

[Droid Incredible General] Paintboarder:
correct me if im wrong but doesnt bootmanager install them to sd card? i dont have that kind of space and emmc is faster.
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
Boot Manager gives you the choice of sd or emmc. If you have the incredible, set the default in settings to use emmc. App works great, by the way.
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Totally unsolicited, if you are not using this app or BootManager, you should be. The developers have been improving and improving it. It works great and allows use of multiple Roms without the hassle of doing namdroids and restores. Kudos to the developers and thanks.

[Droid Incredible General] kschwarz88:
I've been using this app/solution since you guys first put this out here.

I noticed you guys once had the system.img in ext3 format, but looks like you changed it to an ext2 format (shown in the changelog).

Here's my question: Where/how can I change back to ext3 for the system partition, and should I want this?

I mainly want to get more performance from my Sense 2.1/3.0 roms that are on my emmc.

Thanks for you time!
[Droid Incredible General] football0552:
restore EMMC

How do you restore the EMMC after applying this?
[Droid Incredible General] caleris:
Can you explain that a little more?
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
If you want to undo the partitions it has made(disabling its functionality), use Root Explorer, go to emmc, and delete the Boot Manager folder. Also go to sd card and delete the Boot Manager folder there. There is also an option in the app itself to delete the individual slot partitions as well(slot1, slot2, slot3, slot4) if you just want to reduce its footprint.

If this wasn't what you were asking, then please specify a bit more clearly.

Search for Boot Manager, that is the successor to DRX2. Haven't used it with ext4, but it is supposed to work with it. There are tons of new options and extras that make the app worth while. And as stated before, dev. support is second to none.
[Droid Incredible General] countryfolk07:
Ok thanks. Just don't like the new market setup. It takes like 20 minutes just to do a flash and you only get 15 min to try the app. What a crock. I'm not paying for something that may not work.
