http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869673
many-many thanks to the devs & guys that gave us this!
But there are still a few out there that are new to this so here is what i did to make it simple to follow.
What's it about anyways, here one good answer from samsamuel
- a good fast SD card, size depends on your needs (i tried a 4g Kingston that took forever to load, it could be fake/ damaged)
- MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6
- Download 4EXT Recovery from here. this is where the magic starts, thanks Xylograph/ securecrt
- for multi-ROM selection , thanks datagr
- for NativeSD Touch Recovery, backup & restore thanks tytung
- How not to Google Play when using diffrent roms so as not to always go to Google Play
I assume you already have Magldr/ CWM in your HD2 & know your way around the Magldr Menu.
First we need to format the SD card so that it will contain two partitions, ALL DATA WILL BE DELETED. so do a backup/ copy of your card.
- 1 FAT32 primary
- 1 EXT4 primary
Be very careful when using the minitool partition as you can accidentally format/ delete your Hard Disk Partition.
Insert you SD card to your PC & run minitool partition, something like below will show. Make sure you select the right drive.
Right click on the drive & choose "delete" then apply the changes, Again make sure it's the right drive! You now have an "unallocated" partition.
right click on the drive again & choose "Create New Partition" & change the dropdown boxes as the options below. Now move the mouse to the end of the "Size and Location" table. click & hold then move to the LEFT to leave a space for the EXT4 which will be done latter. Size will depend on how many Roms yo plan to use & how many apps you plan to install. Click OK.
right click on the drive again that has the "Unallocated" space & choose "Create New Partition" & change the dropdown boxes as the options below. Remember it should be Primary & EXT4. Click OK
Click Apply & when it's done you should have 1 FAT32 & 1 EXT4 Partition
Another method of creating an EXT4 partition
no need to copy the others for now as it will be erased when you create/ format the EXT4 partition
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
& this should run, Tap on Advance
Tap on Partition SD card
Ext size. = press the + sign to go up, swap size is 0 & make sure to select EXT4 then tap Partition
this is what info you can see using the "Recovery" Folder method
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dear > Recovery (folder must be in SD root)
Time to Flash!
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
Tap Install, notice that the compatible ROMS for this methoid have a div2 or NativeSD designation, tap on the ROM you want to flash.
Make SURE the ROM you Tap is the correct one
if you made a mistake tapping the incompatible ROM it will not go the Aroma installer but immediately will be flashed to NAND - erasing what ever you had there!
Install to SD-EXT
wait for it then your Done!
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > NATIVESD
Run NativeSDBoot.apk, tap on whatever ROM you wan to BOOT to then re-start.
HTH
& BTW don't forget to hit the Thanks Button for the Dev's & Guys who made/ ported those ROM's to become NativeSD :highfive:

copy the "TOUCH" or "TWRP" or "RECOVERY" folder your SD Card (they all do the same thing)
