it will run but it will run very slow
or it might no even boot up
you have to use atleast class 6 sd card and you will have to create secondary ext4 partition on it to run any lp roms on our device

I have 16 GB class 10 card so what should I put the ext4 size?

its on your app usages
if you install more apps then more memory will be needed
bt atleast make 2GB for future requirements

 

[PeppeBove]

Stability and speed?
Compared to stock/cm11/legacy cm12/aosp/ and others?
