Is there a way to dual boot 5.1.1?

Is there a way to dual-boot this phone? Preferably between touchwiz and CM.

Thanks!

There is a "tool"/recovery replacement named MultiROM that allows you to run multiple ROMS. Unfortunately, the ROMS have to be able to use the same kernel. Several people have requested a kernel that would work with both TW and AOSP ROMS. One of our developers said that it would be too hard to do. I do remember using BootManager back on my OG Evo, or maybe my Evo 3D. I ran both Sense and AOSP ROMS at the time. That was probably in Gingerbread days, though. There were universal kernels back then, that worked on both AOSP and Sense. I suppose the fact that we can do so much more with our phones on Lollipop makes it that much harder to write a universal kernel. And, of course, TW does so much more for our phones than the early version of Sense did.

I haven't actually tried MultiROM yet. I think if I did, I would probably try different AOSP ROMS, just for fun. I would think SlimRemix or CMRemix, or even SlimLP along with the vanilla version of CM might give you some different experiences. I'd really like to try out the Plasma kernel, but it hasn't been updated for 5.1.1. Unfortunately, when I got my Note 4 on CL a week or 2 ago, it had already been updated to OG5.

If you do try MultiROM, please post and let us know how it works.
