Mobian on SD Card or Flashed To eMMC For Better Functionality . . .
#1
Hello,
I have the PMOS edition and feel somewhat loyal to them, bc their name and logo is on the back of my phone. The problem is I find myself playing with Mobian 90% of the time. When I make calls, Mobian booted from an SD, people say they can hear me but not that clear. I'm curious would a difference be made if I were to flash Mobian directly onto the phone and not use it through the SD Card ? Or does it really not matter the phone will behave as it does either way.

I have the PMOS based phone.

Mobian does make a difference.

Your phone will function pretty much the same running from the sd cards as from the eMMC.

But it will feel a little bit  'snappier'  once you do install the system on the eMMC...

       ie: the apps will open a bit quicker.

  Meanwhile the sd cards do make it much easier to  'test drive' the different operating systems,
    rather than installing each onto your eMMC.

Once you decide on which operating system you want permanently and install that to your eMMC.

Then you can use your sd card for extra storage.

If the specification of your SD-card shows decent speed for reading and writing (e.g. UHS-1) there won't be a noticeable difference in speed.
I will keep the original pmOS until the one on the card is stable enough.
