So there is no slot for memory card in Nexus S,was hoping that atleast the memory distribution would have been like the Galaxy S which has got 1.83GB of internal storage for games/apps,which is quite a lot.
But apparently{quite surprisingly} Nexus S has got just 1GB{0.95GB to be exact} as the internal storage.

android_master meant for installation on "internal" memory the 16gb is partitioned to make a mountable "sdcard" style partition for the PC so it could be used for froyo style apps to sd but its kinda dumb to have to do it that way
hopefully when we get root (hopefully its as simple as the N1) we can flash a partition change that increases "internal" memory
You won't fill up 1gb of apps . Even then, there's enough that can be moved to the sdcard.

the problem with that therory is that just today google released a blog entry about the new market updates and how they are increasing the limit of app size to 50mb with more and more game devs coming to android that 1 gig will fill up fast and because the 14gb partition is fat32 there will be, albeit it negligible, a slowdown with apps on sd
i'm wondering too if it would be possible to change the internal partitions to make, say, 8 GB internal and 8 GB "emulated sd"... will be interesting to find out

anything is possible . depends on if the 1gb and 16 gb are partitions of the same space or if they are separate. if separate, is there a way to switch it so the 16 gb is read as the primary internal and the 1gb as the "emulated sd". I'm thinking in terms of separate computer hard drives to make sense of it in my mind.
Move to SD card! Most games or big apps will have that feature, since many devices come with around 1-1.5 GB of ROM.

it's one 16GB card inside, around 1GB is for system storage, 1GB for Apps and 13.3GB for the sd card.
You can't screw around with the system storage part, but repartitioning it would allow you to change about 14GB of it. To which if you wanted you could do 7/7. but that would be pretty dumb since no one will ever fill up 7GB in the data partition.
If you seriously think your going to be downloading a lot of 50MB apks, then changing the data to 2-3GB would be best, leaving 10GB for the sd card partition.
And obviously, this is all assuming we can even do it. I think 1GB+Apps2SD should be fine.

Its easy as pie, no root needed.
Open your command window / terminal on your computer and type the 'adb shell' command (with your phone connected of course). You will need to enable USB debugging in developer settings (which in turn is displayed by tapping the build number of the device 5 times) in order to see the option.
Type 'sm list-disks' to list the disks available for adoption. It'll look something like below - take note of the disk ID (disk:179:160 in this example).

}
Partition the disk. For this we use the 'sm partition DISK TYPE RATIO' command. For example, to partition the disk above as fully adopted storage (aka private) I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179:160 private' If I wanted a 50/50 split between adopted and regular, I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179:160 mixed 50'.

Sounds like it works according to the Modaco thread

Worked great!

I currently have a sandisk class 10 u1 64gb card rated at 48MB/s
Would this hamper me or should I spring for a u3 128g
---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------
What would I see after this procedure when connecting the gs7 to my pc?
I don't think it works correctly. I followed the directions as say, shows everything like it does on the guide. But... when I went to fill up the phone internal memory, I hit about 300 mb left, and nothing else will install.
This is what im getting...
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: command '45 volume partition disk:179:0 private' failed with '500 45 Unknown disk'
my disk name comes up as "disk:179,0" and im only seeing the one (assuming that is the SD card?)
EDIT: "[email protected]:/ $ sm partition disk:179,0 private" Make sure you put the EXACT result of list-disks and not try to copy the tutorial too close. >.<
There's one more step
Go into storage then sd card and select migrate
One thing that bothers me about the process is that at the end, your total storage is wrong. As in the authors posting my total storage showed 90 something gb of 128gb free. i only have a 32gb card installed. so total storage capacity should say 64gb, not 128gb. although cool i think i am going to hold off using this until someone figures out how to make it show the true amount of total storage. at which point i will toss in a larger and faster card.
+1 Keeping an eye on this thread, waiting for someone to solve the 179,0 issue as well as the incorrect total storage problem.

What is the 179,0 issue? Think I missed that one.
Do people really need that much internal storage? There are several drawbacks with adoptable storage that I don't think are being considered. The S7 uses very fast UFS2 internal storage that's not just fast sequentially but also communicates on a full duplex bus (read and write at the same time). Even the fastest MicroSD cards today are not nearly as quick as the internal storage.

The guy who originally posted this method is using the European variant of the phone, which recognizes the SD card as volume 179:160. Using the U.S. variant, my phone, and others, shows the card as 179,0. When applying the fix to 179,0 the partition volume appears to change to 179,1 or 179,2, creating issues.

I also get this issue and i'm in the UK.
Works well enough for me with 179,0. Storage shows the wrong total capacity, but that's fine.
Sorry but if your storage shows wrong capacity, that's NOT OK. You could end up with corrupt files.

May be fine for you. That's one of the issues I am concerned about.
How do you find performance using adoptable storage? Do you notice any slowdown?
Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum, after reading it for a while now.
My P8Lite is driving me mad. I keep getting " This device doesn't have enough space" messages whenever I download or update apps.
I have a 16G SDcard installed and selected the SD card as default installation location.
That doesn't seen to have any effect, because I still have to move recently installed apps to the SD by hand.
At this moment, my internal memory is at 89%, and the SD card at 7% and I can not update my apps.
The phone is rooted, and I am using EMUI 3.1.
I haven't tot a clue how to resolve this, maybe someone else that had an idea?
Thanx in advance.
@d.
How much system storage do you actually have on the device (Settings > About Phone > Phone Storage)?
It should be ~10GB.
If not and it's 2.5GB, back-up all your data and reset the device to restore the lost 7.5GB of storage.
This occurs when installing a new ROM; ALWAYS reset the system after installing a new ROM (you may have to set-up the device first).
You selected the SD card as the default installation location, but did you move the largest apps to the SD card after you did this?
If not, do so and you'll re-gain some of your space.
With system storage running out, you'll also find that other stuff stops working such as email fetch and push.
Hi,
According to the RAM value I have 2G of internal storage.

Hi,
Please tel me what you ment by resetting the phone. I rebooted it a couple of times, without result.
Did you mean a reinstall?
My Moto X Pure (2015) keeps on losing storage space. I've reformatted the phone twice now and it always happens.
15gb - Total storage
6.5gb - Android OS
9.5gb - internal storage for everything else
Right now it says I've used 8.59 of the 9.5 gb. I can't install any more apps because of "insufficient storage". However the main problem is that I'm actually only using 4.5gb with the apps/cached data/ etc. Where did the other 4gb go? I've already tried to boot into recovery and delete the cache there.

Ah, I was referring to backups done in recovery (nandroids).
The other potential culprit is app data. Game saves and per-app cached/temp files, things like that... but you couldn't even check that unless you're rooted. I lost 14gb on one of my nexus devices once and it was a combination of nandroid backups and miscellaneous app data.
Yeah, there is something weird here. I intend to root mine, and will attempt to figure this out. It seems to me like it may be related to the MM upgrade. I just have to wait until I get back from a trip.
Have any of u figure it out where is the space going? cause i just bought this phone 1gb model and im using like 6gb but it says im using 8.30gb so i have 2 gb missing somewhere and i havent been able to figure it out where... i tried formating cache but still the same :S tried a google search but no solution ether
***UPDATE***
I found the missing space, im guessing thats a new feature on the phone that some things r hidden in the memory for some reason in my case it was the nandroid backup, those were the 2 gb missing that i wasnt able to free, i had to root my phone, then go to /data/media/0 to be able to see it and there it was lol

"One solution to the low space, i did it by myself based on Hidragon kernel, so i changed FSTAB to mount the sd as internal"
Before doing anything, backup ur kernel, or rom, and move it to your PC
Tested on a 16, 32 and 64 GB SD card
Now the instructions, Medium Difficulty
Install Minitool Partition Wizard, i wont say how to use it here, since google has better tutorials that one by myself
Then, you downlod the Kernel here http://www.mediafire.com/file/9lltcd2t7te04o0/bootinterno.img
Then on Minitool, you format all the partitions, and put all the space as primary with EXT4 (this with the phone shutdown)
Now, install the Kernel on TWRP or Fastboot, reboot and you are done! it will take some time to boot
You need a good, really good sd card class 10+, with a low cost class 10 or class 4 the phone will lag a lot
That's all, good luck
thx fr the guide
SC card
its very quick card depend- bought specially for it 32gb Toshiba exceria uhs-I u3 ,but its laggy /sometimes/.will try next uhs-I 16gb samsung and 32gb integral if any of them wont be better than Toshiba
Edit 13.12: integral uhs I cl10 is better than toshiba,no lags and everything works for 1A

Amazing work dude .
I was searching for quite a time for a tool to partition sd card without voiding my warranty (without root).
It was so easy and so much useful . Thanks buddy .
add example screenshots for formatting mode 2 - 50% Internal\50% SDCard, SD Card 2GB.
Where can I get "aftiss.cmd" file?:laugh:
Does this support a 100% internal mode? I wanna use this to force adoptable storage on devices that hide the user menu for it.
I'm tempted to do this but I tend to change ROMs on a somewhat regular basis. My question is, what happens to the data stored in the formated as internal sd card partition?
Where can i download tool?

You can move applications to the memory card with the cache, this significantly saves the memory of your smartphone. Here only a problem in that, system is standard formats the memory card as internal storage OR portable storage, and this is not entirely convenient.
This script allows you to use the memory card as internal storage and portable storage, at the same time!
Anyone used this with Nougat?
Sent from my LG G6 using Tapatalk
Wow I never thought about this possibility.
Until now I only stayed with removable SD card mode, because portability is a high priority. Especially due to the backups that I keep on there. An all-adoptable SD card was therefore never a feasible option for me.
A partition for each is an amazing solution to get the best of both worlds.
I will definitely try this later on.
However, what are your experiences with readability on other platforms?
Windows usually can only read one partition on portable storage. Which partition does show up in the Windows file manager?
