SD card as internal storage in Marshmallow on LG - LG K8 Questions & Answers

I found this method and it works on LG k8 K350n.
Not my merit, I just tested it and SteSko 's method works

What SD card did you use? Have you got a picture of the storage screen from settings?

Impossible to move or install applications on sd card

Hello everyone
I have LG p705
android 4.0.3
version v10e
3.0.8-perf
I followed a tutorial and managed to root the device hoping to be able to install my applications on the externl card.
I have partitioned my sd card then I used Link2sd, foldermount and AppMgr III and other tools but I always receive a message: External card does not exist or emulated or the device does not support..
Is there a solution please?
Thanks

I've got p700, I'm sorry but we can't, the reason is that our phone "emulates" the external memory card with the 2gb of the internal space, lg made this, we can't change this.
You can only try to move games data file on the sd, I've seen some guides but I've not tried them, so I don't know if they're work.
I have E610 (L5) and it emulates internal memory, but when I partitioned my sdcard (first partition has EXT4 file type) I can move apps with link2sd app - option link2sd (app2sd doesn't work beacouse of emulated internal memory - phisycally it's also sdcard, but builded in phone)

One query about adoptable storage in Nougat

Guyz one small help. 2day i formatted my sd card as internal storage on my g4+ then I had to copy all the files that were present before formatting sd as internal (i had taken backup before formatting) but when I connected my ph to pc after formatting I was able to see only phone storage so I copied everything in it having no other optionz then in ph storage settings I kept those files to be moved to sd card so it's been around more than 20 minutes moving is stuck at 27% ! What should I do now?? Ow crap i can't even post the screenshot as the system is detecting the storage is busy

When you format it as internal, it will not show your SD card because it's considered as internal storage itself.
That's literally what the function does.
For eg you have 32GB as phone internal storage and if you formatted your 16GB card as internal you would have 32+16 GB as your total storage.
And yes it would show you as Internal Storage as the SD card is now considered part of it.

If you don't have a high quality sdcard with U3 (not just high read but also high write speeds) then it make take a long time. I've just done this with my wife's Moto G4 and I gave up. It started moving but hung. I ordered a PNY Elite sdcard with 90Mb/s write speed. That worked much better and it moved stuff to the internal formatted sdcard.
One thing that is important is that it takes some time before it reports the entire internal storage that includes both phone plus sdcard storage. A reboot will help as well to have the sdcard be recognized by running apps.
That is just my experience. Your problem may be different.
The usual junk speed (or even normal speed) cards won't cut it as adapted storage. You need a card with minimum "UHS-I Speed Class 3". That's usually 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write average speeds. See the attached table.
The internal memory on the phones is much more performant than the average SD, that's why is more expensive when buy it in the phone (like when switching from 16 to 32 to 64GB internal, if everything else would stay equal).
PS: Some of the cheap chinese cards that are sold on eBay are really bad fakes, or just plain rejected cards from real manufacturers (meant to be destroyed but stolen and re-sold) and that storage will fail almost immediately.
I had this same issue. I sent my old SHIELD tablet back for RMA and got a new one. I got a new official samsung SD card, popped it in and formatted it to internal. So when I did that, it didn't combine the SD card with internal storage like it was supposed to. It just disappeared. 7.0 gives you the option to format it back to portable storage. So I did that and the SD card is usable again, but as separate storage :-/
something is definitely wrong.

Possible to install programs to sd card ?

Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM -T550, 8 inch, 16 GB storage, Android Marshmallow.
Any way I can install programs to a sd card instead ?
Thank you.
I have found a partial solution.
I cannot directly install apps to my sd card, but I can move the installed apps to my sd card.
The method to move/transfer installed apps to sd card is from this link :

In these boards there is a patch to enable adoptable storage for Marshmallow, on the other hand if you are rooted and you partition your SD card to have two primary partitions (fat&ext2/4) than you can use an app similar to Apps2sd for those needs as well, which I do on my tablet, that is not Marshmallow, otherwise I would use the adoptable storage patch. Just look around in the boards.
Edit; here's the link for the adoptable storage patch

The adaptable storage method works on rooted, stock Nougat as well. Just got my tablet with 7.0 already on it and was able to get it done.

Weird SD Card issues

Hi yesterday I got my new SD card for the v20 a 256gig Samsung drive. But whatever I try my phone just won't recognize it's existence in the slot. I put that very card in a G3 a honor 7x and a G6 and my Windows PC working flawlessly Everytime. Also any other SD card before works perfectly and instantly on my phone. Also with a OTG hub the SD card is recognized perfectly. But in it's slot it won't do a thing.
I tried adding a slim piece of plastic above or below the card for pressure tried cleaning and bending the pins in the slot slightly back up with no change at all. And the old 128gig card still working perfectly.
I also formatted it in FAT32 exFAT and even NTSF not changing anything.
Any recommendations would be very appreciated.
It's a v20 H990ds on Oreo btw.
Also I am sorry if this is the wrong section or site for that.
