I own a Pipo S2 tablet which appears to suffer from bad NAND. The problem presented itself about a year ago and has gotten worse after many ROM flashes. I assume the problem is in the system or data partition, probably system.
I was wondering if there is a way to leave only boot in the NAND and point it to an SD card which will contain all the rest (system, data, kernel, whatever). This seems like the only solution since the tablet, right now, doesn't last an hour after a flash before I get unexpected application shutdowns and freezes.
I know the SD card should offer fast 4k read and write and probably be class 10 and above, but the internal NAND was no gem either. Also, I do not know how severely the lifespan of an SD card would be compromised when an entire OS runs off it 24/7.
Is there a way to do it? I am not interested in trashing it and buying a new tablet since I only want to use it as an ebook reader and for browsing. Light stuff, which doesn't justify spending $100.
Thank you.
