Root Is dual boot possible?

i swear if htc makes an htc hd3 with a dual core or a quad core and 2gb ram running windows mobile 6.1 and their sense UI i would buy it for full price the day it comes out. such a powerful OS

how could u man! its the most powerful mobile OS. it was just never perfected to be user friendly. the hd2 runs android as an application on the winmo platform! it can run wp7 android 4.0 and winmo. u can run a ps emulator and connect a bluetooth ps3 controller. u can do ANYTHING with that O.S. and after some modding its almost bug free. the only downside is user friendlyness and some bugs and of course an old look but sense covers that.

now tell me why u think it sucks??
 
LG is introducing the Optimus LTE2 with 2GB of RAM very soon. This is confirmed BUT no confirmation on the processor so that sound promising AND the first device with 2GB RAM and to answer your HTC comment, they are probably my too 2 favorite manufacturers BUT then giving the One X a locked bootloader that isn't unlockable through HTC website like almost all other devices from then is upsetting. Off topic but figured I would let you know that there IS a 2GB RAM puke coming soon but not HTC and on the other hand HTC has upset a lot of people not allowing the One X to be unlocks via website due to hardware restrictions.

i wish i knew what you guys were talking about lol, i messed with linux a few times, even had the dual-boot thing going with windows..

but it's a pain it the butt to uninstall the linux only lol because the 'grub' thing stays and doesn't allow you to boot into windows when linux is no longer installed lol at least i think...

i forget how i did what i did but it was bad either way, and would NOT reccomend doing it with a phone lol, i had to pull my hdd and re-format in another pc in order to re install windows lol the boot-cd wouldn't even start up untill i formatted it, think because linux makes it like an ext format or something?

lol darn my lack of knowledge towards linux!!!! lol someone please learn me :D im sure i could be capable of so much more if anyone would like to tutor me hahaha

Windows sux at formatting linux partitions, usually need to use gparted, dban, etc, etc to get rid of it. Then you need to run fixmbr from repair on a win* install disc. ;)

Or better yet get rid of windows all together ;)

haha no wayy, lucky for me i had another comp running windows, and i have the pieces of the external i broke open so a could connect that hdd to the other comp as an external and just wiped and formatted the whole drive, then re insterted in laptop and installed windows lol, i have a seperate drive for any other OS now, screw that dual-boot crap :D
 
I use ubuntu cause its clean for things like paying bills. My winbloz is for everything else i can't do in ubuntu. Ripping >MY< DVDs is easier on ubuntu. But converting them from mkv to w/e is easier on winbloz. Yeah and netflix wtf...
As far as dualbooting with the phone...yeah nevermind. Don't need a new way to brick this phone. Not all bricks are the same and some of the problems i have read about i want no part of :cool:
