is it still a thing? ik it’s not impossible but i haven’t seen one in almost a decade. last time i dual booted was on android 4.4.

i would love to have a universal dual booting solution so i can use the garbage they force me to, while also having a private phone without the hassle of carrying multiple phones.

i don’t think any of my phones support this though.

You can kind of emulate this with graphene

this is the main reason i’m waiting for the motorola graphene phone.

I’m excited to see what they come up with and cautiously optimistic.

I’m willing to bet dual-booting will require an unlocked bootloader. There goes your security if this is true.

You could install GrapheneOS on a Pixel and set up multiple users? Up to 32 if you want. Some can have Google Play Services and some of those can be signed into a Google account while others are just using GP Services without signing in.

Much faster to switch between users than booting a second OS.
