You say everything works? Camera, calling, 4G the whole shebang?
So you glued the foil from sim onto SD card? So scared to do that! For every person who gets it right online, there are like 10 that messed up phone or sim or SD ....
Able to install apps onto the SD card?View attachment 415911

My man. This was my plan all along. Even why I went note 3 over 4. At least I know it all works.
Thank you.
No problem at all
Yup,everything I've tested works so far.I use the second sim with LTE and it works fine without any hiccups

Being Kate, I'm actually very surprised

Thats right yes.Hardest part for me was separating the connector from the plastic without messing it up.I used the hot cup method.
I used some sandpaper and lightly sanded the top of the SD card. Don't think it actually took much off,but it gave the adhesive something more to bind to.I triple checked that I had the right sim orientation before gluing it on.
I used a Lexar class10 sd and an MTN nano sim
The insertion of the sim tray was abit iffy at first to be honest,because of the bulge but it slipped past.
All the how to's i've read say its abit of a tight fit which is right,but never force it in if it doesnt want to go.
If you give it a shove and it doesn't go in,don't forcefully press it in

May I ask why?

Some folks had issues with CM as the radios are different to Kenzo (Kenzo being the more popular version of the phone).

I think it comes down to the ROM you using.
I set the SD as Adoptable storage though,because I dont plan to remove it at all.But this method allows me to install apps to SD
More info on the difference between expandable storage and adoptable storage can be found here - https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/496sn3/lets_clear_up_the_confusion_regarding_storage_in/

Ah i see.
Well a dev over at xda kinda fixed that problem by repacking the files required for CM to work for kate.

I flashed the file before installing the rom,and after installing it again
