The first post is updated with the links for Dual Booting.
Thank you angor00. This is great work!

I tested the Glo version and I was able to Dual Boot Nickel - Android just fine!

Some observations:
- I don't have the option to reset the device anymore, by keeping the light button pressed when I power on, even without the external sd attached.

- When on Android, the light button is not used as "Back" button.
I miss this, because sometimes while experimenting with various things, the Button savior app may crash, leaving me with no button to get out of the mess I created ;o)
I wonder if its possible to regain its use after using it for the initial android boot.

- I couldn't create a backup from the internal sd to external.
At the original translation there are two points where the backup should happen. One after each restart from the KoboRoot.tgz file copy.
I must be doing something wrong, but it doesn't matter because I already have images of everything.

Some questions for angor00
What is changed in your image?
At first, I thought it was only the unpartitioned first part of the image, so, I copied the System and Data partitions from my image (a lot of customization I didn't want to do from scratch).
It didn't work.
When I copied the System partition back, it booted fine.
I did copy my modded files manually, so its OK, but since you're messing with the system, I wanted to ask you if you can fix the only things missing from the Glo (and the AuraHD) kernel. The 1 GHz CPU clock and the magnetic On-Off switch.

Even without them though, This is Great Work!
