Default Dual booting feature for any modded roms for Elocity A7

Hello folks,

Soon I will purchase an Elocity A7 (after I receive my tax refund).

I was wondering if there will be work on creating dual booting feature for this unit to allow me to create a custom rom based on Gingerbread or Honeycomb whichever is available at the time.

I would like the AOSP Gingerbread or Honeycomb to boot from the sdcard instead of internal storage. That gives me more freedom to update the kernel (via grabbing updates thru WiFi from a local network hosted webserver) with the minor modifications to boost the stability/squash bugs and other things before I can release it to the public for pleasure of using it in everyday use.

----- Edit

Because I can't post yet any links, I'm giving you the forum thread name here that is found on these forums: "[ADV] Boot menu for the Nook Color [2011-02-21]"

OK I got the A7 tablet yesterday and installed the dexter mod 1.3 and I'm having fun with the device. Now I just have to prepare a linux environment to compile the kernel and the modules.

Also have to look in offering dual booting.

Unfortunately I won't be able to compile ICS or JB because my computer is very old and doesn't support 64 bit environment required by the building process be that in Linux or Windows. However I can build the kernel with the 32 bit compilers/tools with no issue, but the ICS or JB doesn't like the 32 bit compilers/tools.

I'm still plagued by OOM freezes and a strange Google Play Services install error that prevents me from installing the latest version of Youtube.

Sorry for letting you down.
