Guest PaulOBrien Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 MoDaCo.SWITCH for the HTC One is coming soon, allowing you to easily switch between Sense and Google Play edition on your phone, without maintaining two sets of data. The new concept is demoed in the video below. I'm currently testing the build and looking for any last remaining issues / bugs before I let it loose on you lot in the form of a public Beta! It will be installed via custom recovery in the usual way and is based on the 2.24 European One ROM (Android 4.2.2) and the shipping Google Play edition ROM. Stay tuned for further updates! You can also view the video on .'> . I know there's going to be lots of questions about SWITCH... so ask away and i'll do my best to answer them! :) Click here to view the item
Guest HCDR.Jacob Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Interesting concept. Certainly look forward to trying it. Assume it would still need a data wipe before the initial flash?
Guest UbuntuBhoy Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Biggest question, how much additional space is used adding the GE ROM? Shared data makes this a winner in my book.
Guest marmankites Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Looks great, very fluid. Q: Extra size of rom required? Q: Potential to select HTC Sense apps inside the stock rom. Or a selection tool for choosing; Phone Launcher Camera Calendar Gallery etc. for each?
Guest PaulOBrien Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Interesting concept. Certainly look forward to trying it. Assume it would still need a data wipe before the initial flash? No, it uses MCR dirty flash technology to try and mitigate that. Biggest question, how much additional space is used adding the GE ROM? Shared data makes this a winner in my book. At the moment i'm focusing on compressing that lost space down as much as possible. My target is to lose <500MB of space. Looks great, very fluid. Q: Extra size of rom required? Q: Potential to select HTC Sense apps inside the stock rom. Or a selection tool for choosing; Phone Launcher Camera Calendar Gallery etc. for each? 1. See above. 2. A future development. P
Guest Formula84 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Looks great, keep up the amazing work
Guest mmayhew Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Can't wait to try it out. Will you ever provide a build that has US Carrier Sense builds? I'm a US TMO customer and their Wifi Calling feature is huge for me. EDIT: clarification
Guest UbuntuBhoy Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Jesus that's good. If you can hit the 500M mark you won't even notice the lost space.
Guest Tlab56 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Something like this on the Galaxy S4 would be awesome...
Guest sensationfan623 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Something like this on the Galaxy S4 would be awesome... He said in his video that he would be working on this.
Guest sensationfan623 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 At the moment i'm focusing on compressing that lost space down as much as possible. My target is to lose <500MB of space. P Jesus that's good. If you can hit the 500M mark you won't even notice the lost space. If I remember correctly GE roms that I've downloaded are about 450MB, should be a sinch. Great work Paul! Can't wait to flash this into daily use
Guest Yogimax Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Excellent concept! Hope to see it in action soon.
Guest Alonso_91 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Great work. Will it also allow to add more roms to the list?? Say I wanna try out MIUI as well, would I be able to "triple" boot it? Anyway I cant wait to try it out
Guest GarJones27 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Amazing! I cannot wait to use this. I know it will be a daily driver for me, as there are things that I cannot live without on both roms.
Guest Tlab56 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 He said in his video that he would be working on this. I missed that bit! That's great to hear!
Guest sensationfan623 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Is there an official thread for switch? Or is this it?
Guest peterock Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 How does it handle apps such as viber or whatsapp which require authentication with your phone number etc
Guest guy4jesuschrist Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Is it possible to add PA's HALO to the GE side of SWITCH, since they open-sourced it, or perhaps make a flashable zip?
Guest Thumper Net Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Very cool , will be nice on my htc one when its ready , good to see a choice of roms
Guest miffymiffy Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Is it possible to incorporate this into other devices? Is it possible to use CM or AOKP instead of GE?
Guest sensationfan623 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Is it possible to incorporate this into other devices? Is it possible to use CM or AOKP instead of GE? +1 @paulobrien will this work between any two roms? Edited July 16, 2013 by sensationfan623
Guest UbuntuBhoy Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 How do apps that are in /system in one ROM but data in the other work? I am thinking of AOSP apps installed in my sense ROM, how is the conflict dealt with?
Guest inthenite42 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Are we talking days, weeks, or months? Absolutely in love with this idea.
