BootManager

PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASING

Boot Manager is the first Android Multi-Booter Application! The application installs up to four ROMs to your sdcard and you can keep one on your phone as well to allow you to boot up to five ROMs and switch between them with just a reboot. This is the must have application for any flashaholic and will finally allow you to keep up with those nightly builds we have all come to love or just boot your favorite ROMs from your favorite developers. The application is great for developers as well since you now have 5 slots for testing ROMs.

The application acts as your recovery for the four sdcard slots. Install your kernels, theme, and ROMs all through the app and use your normal recovery for your phone ROM.

Root Required.

Current Supported Devices
Motorola Droid 1 (sholes)
HTC Incredible 1 (incs)
HTC Thunderbolt (mecha)
HTC Vision (vision)

Things to Remember

Some ROM's may lag more then others. Pure aosp rom's seem to run the best on the sdcard. Be patient on first boot. It will take longer then normal and you may get force closes during setup. Try to choose wait when at all possible. Once setup is done and the phone syncs all your data it should smooth out.

Not all rom's may work even if your device is supported. Some rom's use extra scripts in the install process besides the updater-script and at this time they are not used during the install process.

It should also be noted that this app only supports rom's that use the newer edify script. Most rom's are using these over the previous versions that android used for instillation.

Check menu/settings/tips in the app for more helpful tips!

If you don't know what root is you shouldn't purchase this app!!

Other Devices

This app should work on other devices. If you device is not supported then the app will give you the option to put in the variables needed or you can email the init2winitapps team to get your device added. Currently this system will not work on the Samsung devices that use the bml and Moto devices that have a locked bootloader. We are working on getting support for those devices in the future. We also have a form on our website to submit your device to be added to this app.

How to use this app:

When you first open the app it will ask you to setup the phone rom. This backs up your boot.img to your sdcard so that you can boot back to the phone's rom from an sdcard's rom. Once this is successful you can choose install rom, select the zip to install and then choose the slot to install it too. There are 3 checkboxes on the screen to choose your slot to wipe system,data, and cache. Use them as follows:

Fresh rom install-use wipe system,wipe data,wipe cache
Rom install flashover-use wipe system
Add-on to rom(i.e theme)-use no checkboxes

Kernels can be flashed using the kernel installer if they are in a flashable kernel zip.

On the main screen you will also see "Boot Installed Rom's" where you can go to switch between any rom's you have installed.

There is also a section to manage install rom's where you can make backups, restore your backups, or delete rom's.

And the extra's settings contain some various helpful android staples such as fix permissions, wipe cache(of rom your booted into), and more....

Also when you setup your phone rom or install an sd rom as a saftey measure the app will place a flashable zip in that rom's folder in the BootManager folder on your sdcard. If you have a problem booting one of your rom's you can flash these update.zips to get back to the phone rom or another rom you have installed.

This is a one of a kind app and a very complicated process. It is hard to account for everything every dev does to a rom. Please keep this in mind and kindly report what you can with as much detail as you can give to us by email. Init2winitapps is dedicated to making this a valuable tool for the root community.
