I really can't understand the desire to multi-boot. And btw the recent<br>
poll proved that most users use Qi IIRC. A clear evidence it's already<br>
usable for them.<br></blockquote><div><br>here's a couple of use cases:<br><br>1 I have a working shr-u install on my phone, and want to experiment with the shr-testing candidate - however I want the capability to revert back to the working shr-u install if I have problems with shr-testing. This is the situation I'm in right now.<br>
<br>2. More generally - I have a working distro I like, but am curious to try one or more of the other distros.<br><br>3. I'm a developer working on an app for the FR, and I want to make sure that it works well on debian, SHR, and QtMoko (using QX), but only have one FR.<br>
<br>In the 'bad old days', when I was experimenting with the early OM 2009 TRs, I often had to boot back to QtEI to actually be able to make an outgoing phone call. <br><br>I definitely think there are many valid reasons for multi-booting.<br>
<br>I have a slightly more interesting issue - my aux button doesn't work any more after my daughter dropped my FR one too many times... So my solution for multi-boot involves renaming the appropriate boot directory on the SD card before rebooting... far from ideal...<br>
