running Kodi (on android box) off 8GB ROM or move to faster MicroSD card? - ssjenforcer191 - 2017-10-11
I have an android box (NEXSMART D32 Android mini pc Support 4K HD TV Android 5.1 Quad-core Cortex A7 ) with 8GB eMMC ROM of installed memory.
However, I have inserted a Sandisk Ultra 16GB MicroSD card to help with kodi streaming.
My question is whether or not I should move the kodi app on to the SD card, or will the ROM storage be enough to process the data?
I have checked on eMMC and it seems ok, but I am concerned that because android OS takes up more than half the 8GB storage already it will cause issues with streams.

Install LibreELEC to a micro sd card or usb. It will boot & run from the card not touching android

so there is no way to install LibreElec on a Rockchip, only amlogic?
are you sure it's a Rockchip? It is cortex A7, is that a Rockchip?

A quick search of the box shows it as CPU: RK3229. LibreElec has a Rockchip board https://forum.libreelec.tv/board/43-rockchip/ but still looks like a way off from any sort of release
