If these are system applications or preinstalled in the roms application then there is a big chance by doing this that you will have some major issues.There are some applications on GoogleApps that allows this ,but the ROM its self does havethis function. *Note* not all applications can be moved over to the SDcard!!!

Thank you.

At least with DataOnExt I would be available to move Lync and Skype to sd-card that will save me 100+ megabytes of internal storage.
But it also means that I will have to replace my old'n'good class2 sd-card to something faster

A couple of questions:
1. I am unable to switch to ART. When I try to do so in Settings > Developer Options, the phone reboots but still uses Dalvik. Can someone confirm?
2. My TMOUS HD2 is more than old. Would switching to NativeSD actually improve performance? What is the speed of the stock 16GB microSD card that came with the phone?

If the installation method on the initial page is used with a larger boot partition size (eq. 400mb) ,then all you need is a SDHC card that isn't one with the "Ultimate" ,"Pro" or "Extreme" brand mark. There is a detailed view on which card to use and why given on the forum and by a few users as well.

A trick i've done:

. Format and prepare a 32GB micro SDHC Class 10 card
. Make the installation with the settings from the initial page and increase the boot size to 400mb
. Installation method NAND with Data on EXT4

. Partitions made:
Internal Storage partition 15.11GB = apps installed 499MB available size left 13.84GB
SD Card Storage Partition 13.20GB = apps data&media 420MB available size left 12.34GB

No application were moved to the SDCard ,no hardware accelerator changes. This installation works for me and give no problems so far with the version 4.7 . If there's any other method that you will ratherly try then I suggest the same ,to carefully look at the steps you need to do.

Let us know if your choice of installation works.

1.When Art runtime environment is initialized ,it automatically loads the entire system over and reboots the device to its new environment settings. Dalvik should not be active until the system is transferred back to its initial settings prior. * For the record * Art Runtime is still in development phase and cannot be reliant at this stage as yet.

2. It is a matter of choice for many ,thou I can say that running on Nand with Data on Ext4 , it is much better than running from a SDrom Haret version for the simple matter of speed ,quick data access ,stability. There are many that uses Nand SD as well and depending on the ROM type. Some mention good performance ,some don't...yet giving this factor it can be a choice of SD card that can also be the creation of erratic behavior.

Hi everybody
I wander if I can remove the unwanted language packs? so I can reduce the ROM size before I install it on NAND
Can anyone help me to do that please?

- EU 512
- NativeSD 2GB Ext4
- v4.7

- My ringer is automatic set to low (2/10) everytime switch back from Vibration (red button > Vibration on bottom right)

- How to set personal ringtones & sms. In other version I can but not in this version. I must play some music or tone > make this as ringtone. I cannot set for sms. Please guide me. Thanks

- File explorer including cannot copy to other folders. When I select file(s), choose copy it ask me to overwrite.

Thanks all.

open the music file in Apolo music player and just hold the finger on the music which you want to make it as ringtone, choose 'Set as Ring tone'
done

I suppose but it would be VERY slow. You might want to look at something like the Samsung Class 6 instead...

Just installed on a Samsung 16gb class 6 on nativesd and works fine so far.

I was thinking of doing this way to have a dual-boot with WM 6.5 on nand but could not do it even if i hade bootloader cab already installed on my memory.

During the initial setup after installation , the ROM uses the language pack for the desired language in the setup wizzard UI. As this has never been tested by me ,it is possible that removing this language pack or some may give the ROM undescribed problems.

Suggestion would be to choose " Custom installation " during pre installation setup in order to save some space,Use practical and necessary applications that you will use regularly , Have less social media applications running in the back ground (WhatsApp, Facebook ,Kik ,Skype and etc.) for this takes up lots of system RAM.
