One of the bigger reasons I upgraded to Marshmallow was because of the Adoptable Storage which allowed you use your external SD-Card as Internal Storage. This beefed up your storage (16 GB Internal + 32 GB SD = 48 GB total) and you know, it's a cool feature if you have lots of apps or heavy games.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find this feature. Navigating to SD-Card only allowed me to format the card as portable storage (not internal). Just wanted to confirm if it's the case with other people.
Same opinion...
On the European Beta (B805): just one time flex storage worked for me (but there was several bugs).
I made an full reset of the phone and remove any partition on the SD Card. JUST ONE TIME i had the possibility to use the SD card as an internal storage.
After the SD format i had just only one storage and 38gb free.
PS: i had some bugs: if i downloaded any file with an app i could'nt see it without to reboot the phone
after reboot i had some app who said they aren't installed :s
but i don't know why i can't anymore use the sd card as the flex storage....
Could it be because of the file system on your card? You could try formatting the card as ext4.

That's certainly not the case. Android System will automatically format it as ext4 and encrypt it so that the card will be only usable in that specific device.
However, I was able to set my card as internal somehow using terminal commands but the end results were quite not satisfactory. Free space on my internal went to 0 bytes and thus I couldn't install apps from Play Store.
I can confirm that adoptable storage does not work on EMUI 4.1 on the Honor 8. I've heard that the EMUI 5.0 on Nougat (currently in beta) will work but word isn't officially out.

selecting sd card as default is much better than adoptable storage

How so? If you fill up all your app storage with big games, having the option for adoptable storage is better.
Anyway, Huawei is known for not using app to SD on their devices so I wouldn't expect this simple Marshmallow feature to even show up on Nougat. Since we know that even the new Mate 9 won't let your either.

if you select sd card as default games obb files are installed on sd card. I dont see how you will run out of storage space.
I have hitman, modern combat4 andmost wanted installed and still have 7 gb free on internal storage. the games are on sd card.

Xposed + xinternalSD helps if you don't want to set your SD card as default storage.

I have a 64 Gb Sandisk Micro SD card with an extFAT partition that works ok on my Rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 handset. The micro SD is however not recognised on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Reading through the forum I see it is possible to use a 64 Gb MicroSD card on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. What I am not clear on is what I need to do to get the 64Gb MicroSD card to be recognised by my Tab 2. Can you clarify if I need to do one or more of the following :
Root the Tab 2 ?
Convert partition to fat32 ?
Change to another ROM ?
Or is there something else I need to do ?

Yes I am still on 4.04. Should change this ?
Remember there is one downside, don't plan to put any file on it that is 4GB or larger. It won't work and will put a lot of lag on your tab. Been there, done that...

The main difference is the capacity, as HC stands for high capacity. If you want more differences, the easiest way is to Google SDHC, or use the Wikipedia...

And about the thread: I've never heard of 64 GB sim card...
First of all, hello to everyone, I've been a big fan of this site since the very start I found it out and it sure helped me alot in my android experiences and adventures. So.. Thank You All, for these great efforts and information you'll are providing in order to help people and make phones more pleasant to use.
'This is the first time I'm posting on XDA bc I need help with something:
I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S 4 (i9505 model). I'm from Netherland btw and also bought my S4 here.
Before my S4 I was using a HTC DHD, which I screwed around alot with, like installing custom ROM's provided here and other stuff. I don't know if some options on Android phones are phone specific or not. But on my DHD i always could move apps from internal memory to my SD Card and otherwise, which i can't on my S4. This is like the last thing I need to do on my S4, bc I got a 16 GB model (9 or so useable) and I got only 3 GB left while I have a Ext. SD Card of 32 GB (30 useable) and only used 1,5 GB of it.
'This feels like having a beautifull hot girlfriend, but not being able to do anything nice with it, if you know what I mean..
I don't know where, but I once read it's possible to merge internal and external to 1 storage, like combining 2 partitions to 1 or making a RAID partition out of 2 different storages on phones. Is there anyone who can help me exactly with what I need please?
Thanks in advance.

The new software update thats allready rolling out will allow apps 2 sd card feature, it has arrived to some countries already maybe you should check your OTA or kies update. Or else you can flash it yourself manually .

Update to XXUBMEA. It provides App2sd support but I think you can only move the app, not its data.

Hi Guys
I am in a really deep problem so I will explain as much as I can
I have the EU htc hd2 and I tried so many roms from xda threads
first I was happy that my phone can run android (it was froyo 2.2 by the way)
I had big internal memory fast performance everything
Now I have a huge problem I want to install the new roms like 4.0 , 4.1 and 4.2
But I can't install it on nand as I must make a partition like 250 mb or 300 mb so there is too small memory for me to install apps
So I read other threads that talked about this problems and they recommended to use the [email protected] method
But the problem that they said that solution for sd cards that have class 6 or above and Mine IS 4 :crying:
So I appreciate any help from you guys cause you are the best on the internet and the hd2 is a legend
sorry for my bad English I am from the middle east "Egypt"
No, your SD card doesn't need to be any specific class. Class 4 will do just fine.
I think you're talking about NativeSD? Well, even if you are, class 4 is actually good for NativeSD.
Either way, your sd card will do the job. Happy flashing.

Hi Friends,
I was extremely annoyed with Lollipop Upgrade as I didnt had enough storage space after the upgrade.. Removing system apps also didn't help. I was looking for some KitKat Roms and I found this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/development/26-nov-svhd-v1-0-0-t2953661
This is one of the best KitKat Roms available and works amazing on my Device. (Dual Sim Version)
FYI: This is NOT MY CREATION and I would like to give 100% Credit to the Author.
Hope this Helps

Hello All
A friend is visiting me and he wants to use the SD as internal storage on his SM J500F phone.
I only found one article on XDA. Can someone confirm if this is a working solution?
Thanks
tell him not to do it, it will slow his phone down and decrease perfomance

Yes, a lot of apps will be crashing, because most of apps nowdays are not meant to be stored on sd card, and phone storage will never be same as sd card storage, that is why the perfomance will go down.
Well in my opinion is one of the best options to be made to a j5 as it does not have enough storage to support the apps of today so my recommendation would be to put internal sd and leave you the necessary zip to do it
I think better option is to move to to SD card, by doing this i have 2.5 gb available, even though i have so many apps, but still, he can give adoptable storage a try and decide for himself

There is a method for Root users via Root Essentials or work around stock settings. I was able to get Adopted internal storage on stock 6.0.1, No luck on CM13 as the kernel doesent allow it.
@kiwigi I think that better is a debloated Rom and native app2sd. You should test and pick what you find better for you. I personally avoid as much as I can craps like Facebook, Snapchat, etc. which are always the great responsible of out of memory and so.

Thanks. Have you got a suggestion for a debloated tomorrow? Or is there an option of rooting then debloated ourselves?
Or root and move apps to SD?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Actually, googling things like debloated AOSP, debloated Lineage bring us very interesting things. We know that all stock roms need root and our work to recover valuable space. I like the CM/AOSP branded roms. There are lot of threads here in XDA about customize and debloat and apps to do such and that works with SD managing as well ?
Hopefully now there are plenty J5 roms for you to taste and choose.?
I want to use sd card as internal storage, and use it to download large files from playstore, but could not find solution please help.
