First Dual-Boot ROM Appears for Touch Pro/Fuze

File under: News

Last week we showed you a neat utility that let you boot into either Android or Windows Mobile. Now, over at XDA, they've cooked this functionality right into a ROM so that it's easier to choose between the two operating system. As the developer (yozgatg) puts it:

This is a Touch Pro version of my Gen.Y PX-D ROM for the Diamond. It's an all-in-one, dual-boot rom with XDANDROID. This ROM features a very light & optimized Gen.Y WM 6.1 core (which is accessible, more about that below) & the latest version of XDANDROID v2.1 (27.01.2010 at the launch of R0). The WM Core has all the basic stuff included (e.g. gps, bluetooth, phone, sms, alarm, camera).

This is an all-in-one ROM, meaning it already has XDANDROID cooked in, which is installed and configured during the first boot.
The second boot, u get the custom Gen.Y DualBOOT* (made by myself), which allows u to boot into windows (to update the android build, testing, etc.) or boot directly into android using haret. (more info below)

This is an exciting development for those of us with HTC Windows Mobile phones, and we should expect to see more of this activity in the future.

Thanks for the tip, ZERO_Racer.
