Thanks to

Quarx2k for valuable advise and ICS
m11kkaa for multiboot and advise
Epsylon3 for ICS

XDA forum
Reqirements
===========
1) Rooted Motorola Defy/Defy+/Bravo with 2nd init bootmenu installed
2) Multiboot feature by m11kkaa 0.51
Features
========
* Supports any number of ROMs
* Full support for multiboot 0.51
* Support multiple fsimages
* Create, recycle and format virtual systems.
* Delete, rename and edit description of each entry.
* Shows size of the VFS.
* Much more..
What is this?
=============
A manager for Virtual File Systems (fsimages) in your sdcard.
How to use this?
================
1) First of all a custom ROM should be installed as base. Preferably the latest CM9/CM7 nightly to get the latest 2nd-init bootmenu.
2) Then flash defy_multiboot_v0.5.1.zip by m11kkaa. You can get it from here.
3) Install MultiBootManagerFree_v1.28_final_royale1223.apk
4) Now open Mult Boot Manager from app drawer. Create new VFS from options. You can see now the new VFS listed. You just created your first VFS.
5) If you need MBM to detect your already existing VFS folders. You have to move them to /mnt/sdcard/multiboot.
6) Instructions for using multiboot 0.51 here, thanks joydeep1985.
7) If you have coming from leodfs multiboot, you have to restart from step 1. I hope you have enough knowledge to figure out which steps to skip.
8) Rest of the options in MultiBootManager are pretty self explanatory. Please make use of the context menu(long click menu).
9) Please report bugs and any features you want. I'm bit busy now but I'll fix/implement them later.
10) This app now works in virtual system also.
11) This app will work on all GB and ICS ROMs with 2nd init.

Multi-boot has been around for quite some time now, and is something we would like to see more of. Multi-booting can have a number of fun and even functional uses, such as having a ROM for gaming and a ROM for business, or even using one ROM for your secret family and one ROM for your real family so you don’t get mixed up. In any case, multi-booting is here and for users of the Motorola Defy, it’s only getting easier.
XDA Senior Member royale1223 has released a version of an application called Multi Boot Manager for the Defy, which provides an easy to use management GUI that helps users keep track of what’s what.
While the program is extremely helpful, it is not all fun and games when using it for the first time. The developer takes users through the steps of using it, including creating Ext3 data files, and then using the Multi Boot Manager application to install various iterations of Android. As this is a work in progress (albeit a relatively stable one), there are still some bugs and some things that may not work quite right just yet.
1) First of all a custom ROM should be installed as base. Preferably the latest CM9/CM7 nightly to get the latest 2nd-init bootmenu.

Notes :
1) Always download the latest version of MBM, that would be MultiBootManagerFree_v1.22_royale1223.apk
3) My version of MBM and leodfs' MultiBoot are not compatible with each other. You can't use the two at the same time. Running leodfs version will break the functionality of my app. To restore it you will need to flash mk41aa's MultiBoot 0.41 again.

How to use leodfs MultiBoot?
0-What do you need:
1-root
2-fresh flash from original multiboot.
3-a folder /mnt/sdcard/virtual (if you dont have it, it will FC)
4-just copy all your images folders to /mnt/sdcard/virtual. Rename them as you wish, but DON'T put spaces.
5-Running it after flash multiboot the first time, it will say that your virtual machine name is "fresh", it just a way to say that is no virtual system active at moment . Just click on any name from list to change.
6-You can install and execute it on virtual and normal.
7-There is a small noticeable bug of the keyboard openning on program open, just close it.
