Since Safestrap keeps your stock partition safe and installs a custom ROM on another partition, does it take more space as compared to Bootstrap?

I mean, does one run short on space with SafeStrap (and a custom ROM installed)?

Yes but i never have a problem with space

Most obviously it takes up at least double the space. It has two installed systems, two at any given time. But for the con of taking up space there are many other pros

Thanks for the info guys...

Ya, like the whole "safe" part of it ;-)

That makes it worth it! I also like that it's boot loop proof...

Try bootstrap though. We have fastboot files now so might as well test it

Bootstrap doesn't play well with the ics roms. I've tried quite a few and always have problems.

Safestrap does take up quite a bit of space. I keep a list of what all my back ups are since the labels are just dates. I like to use back ups as muli-boots so I can pick and choose which rom I want to run. Nut each back up is like 800-1000MB so yeah, it gets bloated. But if you keep an eye on it, it's not a big deal.

I'm not sure, but its possible that ss uses the rom partition for that instead of the other storage. Ss is 2nd init as well, bootstrap isn't... this means roms work on safe strap but not always.on bootstrap. Bootstrap isn't really designed for phones w. Locked bootloaders, people flash kernels w. Roms on unlocked boot loader phones, in general.
