Is there a way to take a ROM that is on ROM slot 1 and move it to ROM slot 2 so that I can install a new ROM as my primary ROM?

Quick question. I just yesterday removed safestrap 2 and replaced with safestrap 3.05. I rebooted into safestrap this morning just to check it out, but then realized, I reinstalled the new version on the safe side. (where the custom rom I was running was at) Now I cant get my phone to reboot. Question, I realized too late after the fact (not reading ahead) that you should be on the "unsafe" rom when you reinstall the new safestrap, but is there nothing I can now do to reboot? I had a new boot animation on my unsafe side, and that is what it is trying to reboot into, no mention of the unsafe (which is now referred to as home?) rom at all.

Am i stuck fxzing back to stock and starting over? Thanks for the help.

Huh? Just create a new slot, set it in the boot section to boot, install your new ROM there.

Why "move" it? SLOT 2 can be your primary slot once you set it in the boot menu.

No need to back up slot 1, create slot 2, restore to slot 2, switch back to slot 1, erase and create partition in slot 1, install new ROM in slot 1.

You're making it harder than it really needs to be! ;)

I'm running a rom in slot 1. I want to use it as a daily driver, but when I made the slot 1 space, I only partitioned it for one gig. Now I'm out of system space to reinstall apps. I had an idea, to make a slot 2 partition with 2 gigs, back up the slot one, move to slot 2 with the 2 gigs etc. But I don't have enough space to make the 2 gig second slot. So my question is, what can I do to free up some system space? Is there a way to repartition other things on the phone? I hear about people with roms on 3 slots!! Where is the system space coming from? Any help would be appreciated.
