[Erisdroid?]

I have had my bionic for a little over a year now and I have always wondered if with all the space on the bionic is there a way to make it dual boot?

I know some people use safe strap to do that and that kind of works for me, but it takes a while.

There are so many great ROM's and I would love to run more than two with a stock version.

When I had my HTC Droid Eris someone came up with dual boot, it was slow (the eris was too) but I could just run a script in terminal emulator and it would change ROM's.


Just curious

Will penta boot work?

Like having 5 boot options?

I saw the new safe strap and I lost root over the weekend when I RSD'd my phone. I will install the new version. Will that give me penta boot?

Sort of. It will give you 5 different boot options, but not from a boot menu. You have to go into SS3 and you can create up to 4 more boot images. You choose which one to boot into from SS3. I'm currently running the stock .247 as my system, plus I just installed the CM10 alpha as another image.

It's sweet.

I just saw that in the change log. Thank you.

I will give this a shot.

ss beta works good for switching doesn't give the boot screen but pretty simple to switch between roms in it

You guys were right! (not that you needed my confirmation) SS3 works great for "dual boot". I have stock, and two custom ROms running. it doesn't take nearly as long to swap ROMs and reboot.

Love it!

Thank you for your help.
