[MOD] Dual Boot on the ZTE Skate [Updated - 09/08]

[Guest tilal6991]

I've updated the guide for people wanting to use link2sd. The method can be used to share apps between the ROMs.

[Guest utternoob]

That's pretty useful. Lots of people will appreciate this :D

I'm reporting this problem (happened 2 times):

I have dual boot with Mokee and CFX10. It switches normally in the beginning. I spend some time in CFX10 and when I try to switch to Mokee it prints something about out of memory etc at the terminal and then it prints "successfully writen etc." and then reboots. Now I'm stuck at green android logo and have to reset. Thank got I have backup from Mokee...

[Guest tilal6991]

Ah. I know how to fix that. Will be updated soon. Thanks for the report.

[Guest whashnez]

No prob! Thnx for you effort!

i'm wondering if possible to make a simple 2 buttons app to switching ROMS by that app :)

Thank you for the inspiration. I thought it was a really good idea so https://github.com/tilal6991/ZTEDualBootApp/ZteDualBoot%20v1.1.apk/qr_code - could I get some testers please :P?

The app does everything, I can't male it work though...

[Guest utternoob]

It broke my 4gb SD card :( windows doesn't recognise it now, and EaseUS won't pick up the other partitions

Connect it to your Pi

[Guest utternoob]

Ah ok. Then?

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Ah ok. Then?

Is it recognised? Try and use gParted to recover the filesystem....

[Guest utternoob]

It is recognised, but I have no way of deleting partitions. gParted gives 4 partitions.

SD Card recovered, now to start again

Now to format SD card and get it working in phone. What's default format?

[Guest utternoob]

Doesn't seem to be working. Can't download anything, but I can mount it.

[Guest utternoob]

Making JB my nand rom, will a gapps modify be necessary?

[Guest tilal6991]

Right bow the gapps modify doesn't work. I'm releasing a new version of the app today.

[Guest utternoob]

Ok, leave it for now then? About to start the whole process

[Guest tilal6991]

Hold off because I might release a cm10 update as well.

[Guest utternoob]

Ok will do. What to do now then :S all set up and raring to go

[Guest yevon]

I have tried this guide with mokeeOs and ColdFusion2. When I install mokeeOs all is ok, but when I install ColdFusion2 I get permission errors at end of installation:

** Setting permissions **

set_perm: some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20120819-Experimental-skate-ColdFusionX2-tilal699.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

When I try to switch room, it just reboots to mokeOs.

Can somebody upload prepared files for mokeeOs and ColdFusion2? I have followed the guide completly 2 times with same result.
