Rooted dual boot questions

jgaiser · 07-17-2013, 07:47 PM

I'm planning on putting together a microsd card to dual boot my HD+. Am I going to able to access the main partition after booting into full Android? I've got a lot of books on the main system I'd rather not have to reload. And will my apps purchased from the Google app store be available to reinstall (like how iTunes handles upgrades)?

Yes, the internal "user media content" partition is accessible to the SD-based ROM. Most apps should automatically include it in scanning for content; otherwise you can browse to it (listed as "emmc" under root folder) using a file-manager app, then open the content file in it with the app of your choice.

Yes.

Thank you. May still end up converting the HD+ to a full android system, but I want to play with it for a while.
