Long back Samsung has launched wave devices with its own OS called BADA but the devices will not gain much popularity. Now XDA community has provided a way by which you can dual boot the Wave devices.
The multi-boot functionality is based on a custom Fota (Badadroid’s counterpart of a bootloader) that is able to load two different kernels, which in turn allows for users to load two different ROMs. Due to limits of this Fota, the two ROMs which can be loaded must be located on NAND and SD, or a Loop and an SD. In other words, it is not capable of booting two Nand or SD ROMs. With that said, this multi-boot functionality is compatible with all ROMs and versions. As of now, the only known bug is Bada not booting in interactive mode.
