You mean other than using Marshmallows "format as internal" feature?

yes without formatting
I was unable to find a way how to, so I am going to go with no.
I couldn't find a way so ended up "formatting as internal" my SD card

I know OP has used a work around, but if it helps anyone in future, you can manually move apps that support it, even when in the 'format for internal' setup.
Go into 'Settings', then 'Apps', then select the app, and tap 'Storage' and 'Change':

I guess its only for whatever apps support it like before, none of my apps offer me that option.
No option to change on my G4 either

Of course moving to SD has always depended on where the apps developer wanted it to install, but it looks like that option has been removed since the SD format as internal came along.

What cards are people using for internal?
I've tried a "Kingston 32 GB Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3 Memory Card " but was reported as too slow
Now order a "SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card up to 90 Mbps with U3 Ratings" to try

I have that same as card, and when I tried again, it just worked.
A suggestion: move only the apps you don't use often on the SD card. I did that, and there hasn't been a problem except a 2-3 extra seconds for the card to be recognized and mounted after boot.
I moved all of my 'reading and office' apps over because they are big but don't require lots of speed to work.
An example of what should be moved: Pokemon Go doesn't work well on the SD card, so it stays in internal memory. All of the Microsoft office apps (but not OneNote... I don't know why the option isn't there) were moved to the SD card.
I think that stuff you use all the time or things that really need to be fast when they are run should go on the system but the other stuff that is big but you don't use that much and don't need to be very fast should go on the SD card.

Under storage settings.
Shows me SD Card total space 116MB Available space 12.52MB. My SD card was a 32 gig class 10.
Internal storage 4.9GB
Available space 4.33GB
Also C7 will boot without memory card in it. My cousin helped me root it and we used the SD card to root it. According to him I should be able to take the SD card out and boot into the normal NOOK settings. This correct?
I am getting errors when I try to install things to SD. Tells me there is not enough room.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense still very new to this.
Thanks for the help.
First, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Application> and make sure Use internal storage is unchecked.
Then go to Setting>Storage and let us know about SD card, Internal and Additional storage values.

Sounds like you installed CM7 to the internal memory, not to an external SD card. that's probably why you are seeing the space available on internal memory, but not the SD card. There is Verygreens's method to install CM7 and CM9 to the external card, leaving the stock Nook ROM in place, but it doesn't sound like you used it. To get answers to most of your questions, go to Leapinlar's great information page here:

Specifics relating to installing CyanogenMod on an SD card are in the second post.

Yes, I agree. It sounds like his friend set it up to install to SD by burning the image to the card, but somehow flashed the rom to internal memory instead. That would explain the 5GB internal space and 116Mb SD card space.
He needs to reformat the SD card to get the full size of the card available.

Well sounds like the stock nook interface is gone then. No big deal. Do I just reformat the SD card through the settings in android? The option states Erase SD Card. Would that be what I want to do?
Also not sure if this is related. But sometimes C7 wont boot when I have the SD card in. Take the SD card out and it boots just fine.
Well I grew a pair and did the Erase SD Card. Now it is showing 29.66GB.

LOL. Good job. Yes, stock Nook is gone. I can help you get it back if you want it, but most never miss it. The only reason people want it is for warranty or if they want to have kids books work.

Hello
I own Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and it is rooted. I recently purchased a class 10 Sandisk Micro SD card with 64 GB capacity. I was very happy that I did but my happiness did not last long when I have come to know that 3rd party apps do not have write permission in Kitkat. After some research I was successful to make the SD card writable to 3rd party apps by modifying the permissions.xml file.
Everything seems to be fine at this time but it was not actually. The SD card when seen under storage in settings would show me that it is mounted with 62.5 GB capacity and 60 GB free. But when I try to browse the files in SD card, there are nothing. Apps saved in SD card do not open and I am also unable to capture images from camera to SD card storage.
I thought may be unmounting the SD card and mounting it back would work and it worked but after a while the same problem. My device shows that it has mounted an SD card but cannot access anything saved in it. So, I have to unmount and mount SD card every time and this is very much annoying.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes. It is Ex FAT format. Which format should I format it to? Ex FAT or just the FAT format.
It is not about applications. The card just gets undetected after some time and nothing can be accessed including music and images. I have to unmount it and mount again for the device to detect the SD card.
Format your SD Card on your phone its self. Go to settings, storage and than SD Card and format it.

Thanks mate.. Followed your instructions... Working fine as of now.
I know the official specs only state that the ZF2 only supports a 64GB MicroSD card. I have tested a 128GB without any issues.
Everything loads up fine, no problem. The screenshot is a 128GB card with 69GB still available. It's just loaded up with various things.
(I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I figured I'd let everyone know)
:highfive:
Good to hear I have a 128 arriving tomorrow from B&H w/ my Zenfone 2
Awesome, time to order an 128GB for my phone!

128GB Micro SD Card....Do They Work?
Yes it can
Yes it can, you can see an interview with an asus guy that sayS and shows a zenfone 2 running with 128gb of sd and when they asked him how? He said that they can not officialy anounce it,
Propably because of lisence issues,maybe it was cheaper to get lisense for 64gb or sonething like that but good thing is it supports,
I found the video search for "asus zenfone 2 interview newegg.tv"
I can confirm 128 gig card works. I have it partitioned for around 90 or so gigs of fat 32 and 20 or so gigs of ext 4.

Hi guys.. I use Solid Explorer and it obviously needs Grant access to write to the external SD card. When you try to copy something over from the app (Internal storage) to the SD card, it will prompt you to select the storage in the next window but the ZenFone 2 does not show the External storage on the left side to select. Any ideas? I can post screenshots if it helps understand the issue better. I could do this easily with a 32GB card but not the 128GB or is it because of EXT4? Should I format it to NTFS?

By "save files" you mean copying from internal to microSD using the Asus files app or by setting the microSD as a save location from some other app?
Yes

128 GB Samsung
I started using a SanDisk Extreme 64GB UHS-I/U3 card that I had used in a previous phone, but kept on getting errors where the ZF2 would say that the card was removed -- this would usually happen about 8-10 hours after the phone was restarted. I assume that there is some sort of timing issue that causes the phone to "lose" the card.
When I saw that the ZF2 can use 128gb cards, I tried a Samsung 128GB EVO UHS 1 - Class 10 card and haven't had a single problem.
Both cards are formatted exFAT. ZF2: ZE551ML Z00AD WW_2.17.40.12

Is that 128gb legit?
- judging by the reviewers of the seller it looks like the 128gb only holds 7gb
I am running MM (stock, unrooted, w/ unlocked BL) and have and SD card installed as portable storage (i had tried using it as internal a month or so ago and got completely screwed up for a few weeks, so am back to leaving it as portable).
In the past - before i formatted it as internal - i believe I had the option to move apps to the sdcard. I definitely had that option after formatting as internal. Now, I am not seeing that option at all. Do I need to do something special to allow moving of apps to the SD Card?
I am going to storage--> internal storage --> apps and scrolling down the list. When I select an app, i am expecting to see the option to move it to sd card. It's not there for any of the apps on the phone.
Don't think you can use move to SD on moto. Use something like link2sd or adaptive storage.

Its a change from lollipop to marshmallow. Lollipop allows the moving of some apps to the SD card natively, marshmallow does not. Every app I've tried for app2sd doesn't work in marshmallow either.

Using AppMgrIII to move apps to SD card
Running MM stock, not rooted. Using AppMgrIII and formatting the SD card as internal (really key here), I have moved many apps to the SD card. AppMgrIII tells you which can be moved, and then you go to the app, click on storage and move the app to the SD card. Some work on the first try, and some take two tries for some reason. I must have about 40 apps on my SD card. The only one that didn't work after moving was the Amazon Shopping app. It worked, but took forever to come up. Moved it back to internal and it's fine.

While this is a good work around, this breaks basic functionality of the SD card by itself. When you format it as internal, you cannot put it in a card reader and use it in your pc, which for me, is essential, especially when copying 20+ gigs at a time (128GB card). Also, if rooted and custom recovery, recovery will not read the card either.

So I have a Samsung Tab a6 7 T280 wifi and I've inserted a MicroSD card (128GB). I've done this with the stock os first and I just got the message card can be removed safely. and it wouldn't let me mount it.
Now I've installed the Tinker V5.1 Stock Rom over it and it still happens. (wanted a faster os on it).
I can reformat the card with twrp to be ext4 or exFAT and it doesn't change a single thing. if I insert the sd card I get a quick preparing card and then instantly the message card can be safely removed. clicking on mount sd card in storage from settings doesn't do anything except prompt same message.
I'd try a different sdcard.
Okay, so I hope I can help, I have the SM-T280, I do not use Tinker ROM, instead I debloated my stock ROM and use an SPA kernel by @_mone. If you're trying to extend storage to your tablet, you'll need to use a PC to partition the SD card two PRIMARY partitions. I used on Windows MiniTool Partition Wizard (free), and I used a FAT32 partition and an ext2 partition. With the stock ROM/kernel I had problems using ext4 or extFAT which didn't make sense to me but it is what it is, and I used the app Apps2SD to handle all the work.
The main thing, you need to make sure your SD card has TWO (2) PRIMARY partitions.
Good luck.

FAT32 is not for large capacity storage. Use exFat. There isn't much point in having such a large ext2 partition. It's incompatible with media transfer protocols unless you use a Linux system.
This device fully supports exFAT. I use a 64gb sdcard no issues.

I wouldn't think so, I'm sure it supports 128gb cards.
Just partition it into to halves. First partition exfat. Leave the other unformatted and see what happens.

partitioned into a 40 GB exFAT partition and left rest unpartitioned. Didn't change anything. if I pop it in the tablet I get a short preparing sd card notification then immediately an SD card safe to remove notification...
I'm really confused by this. The tablet is new so I doubt that it's broken but I don't know. Do you know if there's a way to check any kind of logs on Android like dmesg on Linux as an example to see what happens with the sd card?

According to Samsung, the T280 will support a 256gb SD card BUT I know from experience that SD cards over 32gb can be VERY touchy. If you use a PC to remove all of the partition and then let the tablet try to do its own formatting and it still doesn't work, I'd say you have an incompatible SD card. That doesn't mean the card is bad but that it just won't work in the T280.
As an example, a Samsung EVO+ card (which can be found on eBay for $30) will probably work while a "no name" card from China, probably won't.
