Multiple boots Android/Linux on one SDcard? Possible?!!

---

Dear all developers, cookers, testers and all Leo-Andro guys here. Thank you very much for all of your efforts to make HD2 so fun.

My idea is we have a lot of Builds here that I love them much namely:

[BUILD] [26.07.2010] [darkstone HD2Froyo v1] now with GPS work via new sys.ext2 perfect for me with cool battery, low drain and high quality call and so smoothly.

[BUILD] [30.07.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.3a] with SENSE very brilliant build.

The problem is it possible to have triple boot or more with out change new SD card.

That means we may put some difference builds in differ Android folders in SD card and a good boot loader may scan those folder and asking you to select your favorite build.

The other thing is we may seen some files in the root of SD card and difference build can confuse when access them. Is possible to put all file of each Build in their own folders ONLY?

Thank you all Leo-Andro guys again.

Good idea!

The easiest solution would be to MANUALLY assign specific folders from out WinMo, which then links to a program to select on these folders to boot.

/storage/android1
/storage/android2
/storage/android3

Then from a boot-select screen you just select one of the folders to boot. Shouldn't be that hard to do.

Maybe Partition SD card??? that might work won't it?

treats each folder as a partition


triple boot is a fantastic idea

for example JMZ Android triple-boot

WinMo - android - ubuntu

I'm already Quad Booting... for the last 2 weeks

Just use Exceller's Android Loader

so if im reading right, we can just do the folder hierarchy and we can run different android builds off the same sd card????

Yes... that's what I've been doing... just make sure to edit your startup.txt in each folder where your build resides.

Exceller's dual boot has been doing this already. You can choose whatever build you have on your sdcard and even boot ubuntu.
