Hi guys.
I got Galaxy S7's trick, for set the MicroSD as internal storage, working on latest Marshmallow stock firmware.
Requirements: PC, ADB drivers.
I'm reporting here the steps:
0. Turn on "USB Debugging" in Settings->Developer Options;
1. Open the Terminal Emulator (Windows+R and then type "cmd.exe", on Windows) and place in the folder where the adb.exe file is placed;
2. Type "adb shell";
3. Type "sm list-disks", copy the result, and paste it in place of "[diskname]" in the next step;
4. Type "sm partition [diskname] private" if you want to set the whole MicroSD as internal storage, "sm partition [diskname] mixed 50" if you want to set just half of the SD as internal storage;
5. Optional: reboot the device;
6. Go in Settings->Storage->Click on the SD Card->Click on the three dots menu and then migrate data on the SD (thanks to jervine!)
Bugs:
The amount of total usable storage isn't showing, an impossible value is showed instead.

Seems that there's a limitation on the SD Card. I put my 128GB and 64GB MicroSD card in and it only knows if for external storage, no option in making these as internal storage.

As you can see in screenshots I used a 64GB Samsung Evo MicroSD, but I only tried splitting it in half. I'll try with the whole space asap.

Exactly same problem with Z3 compact.
64GB card, insane numbers with minus as a device storage.
I tried this method but it won't let me copy anything from the computer to this "new, big" storage because it says there is not enough space available...

You need to migrate data to the 'new' adoptable storage, which then should mark the adoptable storage as the default location for new installs.
Once you have formatted the card as described in the first post, then select it in the 'Storage' settings, and then opt to migrate (or maybe it's move) data to this card in the three dots drop down settings here. Once done you should have freed up space and future installs should use the adoptable storage.
For what's it worth I have this set up on both my Z5 phone and Z2 tablet with 128GB Samsung SD cards formatted in a 50:50 hybird fashion. Working well so far.
Thanks!!
This wasn't clearly stated in the tutorial and as the option is hidden behind the three dots I didn't even see it... Now it seems to work

This worked fine for me, following your instruction. Only thing not working is the camera. i get an error saying Storage not available. I did a full data wipe before installing 6.0.1, so Im wondering whats wrong.

I did not do a full wipe but can verify that I can use the camera and save photos.
Redlabour claimed in this post that this will not work for Sony devices long term and that at some point internal memory will fill up and break the device:

I have asked where he heard this, as I can't find any other mention of it. Have any of you seen something about this or experienced this problem first hand? My tablet is still working quite well after following the instructions in this thread.

Same here. Had to reset the microSD using Windows diskpart command. It lookls like this method is not usable at Sony ROMs - at least at the Z2 tablet.

I got same trouble with Camera app. When I partition my card as 50/50 (mixed 50), Camera app says that internal memory is corrupt or write protected, so I can save my photos to the SD card only.
When the card is partitioned for internal memory completely (private), there is no place at all for photos made by Camera app.
Did you partition the whole card or only a part? Where do you save photos?

After a couple of hours the numbers were magically fixed.
I'm unable to see any userdata (or backups) in recovery any more after using this method :/
Any advice?

I tried it and ended up with the same feeling that this isn't working as designed -- possibly because the numbers are all wonky. I've reset the card and will try living with it for a while and see if it actually works on my Z3c tablet.
EDIT: Couldn't get Plex to download the new combined memory -- which was still 16GB. Too bad, wish it worked
Plex is 'funny' - it definitely doesn't see the adoptable storage as available, and this is one of the reasons I opted to format my SD card as a 50:50 hybrid, so that apps that don't see the new adoptable storage correctly can still have access to the SD card.
As noted in some posts above, I also found that the camera wouldn't work when set to save to the 'local' storage (i.e. non-SD storage), and it seemed that having the SD hosted adoptable storage confused/broke the camera. Setting the camera to save to (portable) SD (again because I've formatted as hybrid) allowed the camera to work, with the caveat that due to the SD card potentially being slower then I might get glitchy video or some camera effects might not work. I bought an SD card that had fast write speed to try and alleviate this problem.
My tablet is definitely using the adoptable storage for new installs etc. as I have installed games and apps that previously the tablet complained about not having enough space available to install. Currently my tablet reports:
10.5GB of 16GB internal storage used
12.37GB of 58.87GB adoptable storage used
125MB of 59.86GB portable storage used
And the big number at the top is totally wrong still -21477494784.00 B Total used of 16.00GB
The steps worked fine for me and up until now I've had no issues, but now I'm being prompted for an update from Sony and it fails when it restarts. I'll plug my tab into my computer when I get home and give it a try. Screenshot provided of about tab page
Hi, my problem is with the phone of my girlfriend. Now have external 64GB SD, because internal storage is full. I used Android SDK and all the instructions for set default storage for install APP the new SD Card, you know, with the command adb shell pm set-install-location 2. And no error, i try get-install-location and report 2. But googe play only try to install in the internal storage.
I think the problem is with the system of the emulated storaged or something, but i tried many APP, many solutions, and i cant fix this, i search in google and others locations, have 30 tabs in firefox open with information, but i cant found the solution for this

Go back to stock, upgrade to 6.0.1. Then see if this helps-

The article is for S7, but see if you can have that working in the N4 - just have a backup of everything (int SD, ext SD, full backup in recovery).

I tried this in my phone. While the command itself worked after a bit of a tweak, the storage situation was pathetic - the phone showed the External SD as a part of the overall storage, but did not save files to it. Instead, it started saving files to the actual internal SD Card, resulting in space running out pretty soon. The External SD card was just there, and there was no way to migrate the files from the internal storage to the adoptable storage.
I just got a new Note 4 (this is the 3rd one I'm using since the first release in 2014) and I also want to adopt external memory card as my internal space bcos the 16Gg duos version is just too small and app to SD comes with a lot of hassles. After a lot of search for different solutions (which I tried out by the way but didn't work) I came across this thread for another phone entirely but it resolved my issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478.
The only downside is that I can't pop out my card (128Gg Samsung) and plug into my PC but I can still explore it directly from the phone itself.
I've been using the phone for 3 days and it runs smoothly, I hope that solves your problem too.
So there are two parts to the adoptable storage. The first part is the partitioned SD card and mounting the partition. Simple to be done via root essentials or the command line.
The other part is the actual menu entry on an app in application manager for moving it to the second partition. IIRC samsung does not have this support built in. So you need to flash something to replace that manager bit. In my experience with an on5 (like less than 1GB free on internal storage out of the box), adoptable wasn't really worth it, too much stuff still on internal storage. As not every app will allow you to move it to that second partition. It requires both system support and app support.
What I did there was to use the app apps2sd. Same idea, second partition on SD card. But it doesn't show up in settings -> storage. You manage where the apps go via that app. I use the link feature which places a symbolic link in the internal storage and moves all the actual files to that sd card partition.

I've been using apps2sd fot about a year and it comes with it headache too, sometimes the apps wouldn't find the external data (usually games with a lot of data) and it'll start downloading it again into the internal memory, so I usually find myself having to force stop the app, delink and relink the data on the memory card to fix the bind. I also didn't bother to partition my SD card since I can explore it on the PC with my phone connected. What this solution ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478 ) does is to flash back the option to use the SD card as internal memory that Samsung removed from the phones and it works seamlessly on all Samsung phones with rooted stock OS.
Okay my question is simple and straight forward I have a non rooted Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge, Model Number: SM-J327P and currently running Android Version 6.0.1 on Sprint the 16 GB version... well I just got this phone and it already has a full internal memory, I installed a 32gb micro sd card , while I'm able to move photos and music and etc.... but I am not able to move apps to my sd card, which I really want to do so badly. I don't have any photos or music or things of that nature to delete on this phone and make space because I have not put any on this phone yet, and it's a brand new phone, the only way to make space in my phone is to delete just a couple big apps I downloaded ,that's it, but I do not want to do that. My question is; is there a way to adopt external sd storage on my phone to make it think it's internal storage so I have more storage ?? I hate how 2016 model phones do not have the option to make sd storage internal storage . It should be a mandatory option for newer model phones we are in the future for crying out loud it's 2017 things like this should be handled on phones already . Why is this a problem in 2017??? Anyways can anyone help me? Is there a way to do this ? Please and thanks in advance....

The only way to move apps to the phone is by rooting it. I rooted mine and use Apps2SD. I even use Titanium Backup (greatest rooted app ever IMO) to move the stubborn apps that only install on the phone internal memory. I don't do the system apps like Messages but apps that I have installed from the Playstore.
you can use xinternal after flashing xposed i have around 350 apps and modules lol still 5 gb left internal and 11 gb/32gb external
You can try this
1. Enable developer options tap basemodel in about phone (Settings)
2.Enable USB debugging
3.Download and install minimal and and fastboot to your Windows computer.
4.Plug phone in.
5. Open up minimal ADB cms line
6. Type the following
7.Adb devices
ex. 26dh3 device (should show)
8.Adb shell ( j3popltespr# should show up)
9.sm list-disks
179,64 (64 should be whats shown i believe)
now partiton your device for adoptable storage (make a backup this will erase all of your sd card)
10.sm partition disk:# of first disk, # of second disk private
(sm partition disk:179,64 private
or for 50% adoptable 50% portable you would replace private with mixed and the number ex. sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50)
(ie. 179,64 or 179,65 *be careful to only partition the two disks listed
(179 and w.e it showed for list disk output should be what the partition cmd embodies)
11. unplug and reboot *may take longer
12. Go to your options under storage and click the three dot menu and press migrate data *use your internal storages settings and migrate its data* if the option exists ....if not then just get a good file explorer and copy and paste the files from storage/0/emulated to ExtSd (it should just ask you for permission amd to choose your disk but if it doesnt show nd u see a blank screen then you need to sty on blank screen tap three dot menu and press show sd) now just hit the accept button in the root directory (home where it shows all folders) and now you have write permissions to your SD card.
I would tho in all seriousness root your phone by followimg the OFFICIAL TWRP thread posted by @ashyx and then use apps2sd , truly you will be pleasantly suprised with root and its capabilities, and you can always use Odin and the 4 firmware files BL,AP,CP,CSC to reflash back to stock in case you break something using a bad root app, but truly if you can follow my tutorial you can handle root and its process to obtaining root.

Hi folks, this is a small tutorial to extend storage using SD space for P8 lite 2017.
It's more or less the same tutorial you can read for any Nougat phone.
As you know, P8 lite 2017 has only 7 GB free space at 1st, and after install all your favourite programs and restore your photos, music, etc you find 1-2GB free only.
To avoid this we will configure Android to use ALL SD to install programs and data.
This will ERASE ALL SD content, so backup any data there..
What we are doing?
We will configure Android to use SD as adoptable storage.
Making this, SD will be encrypted and will be part of phone storage.
That means you CAN'T remove. If you remove SD, your phone will not work (well, only programs installed there). Also that means SD will not work as external storage = portable SD, so you can't connect phone to any PC and transfer music, photos, etc. In this case you need a program to do it (I suggest AIRDROID from PlayStore).
Internal phone storage will be use for system apps.
SD storage will be use for install user programs and data. Whatsapp will be here
Others like Motorola or Samsung enable this option in stock rom, Huawei not.
What I need?
First of all, fast SD. At least UHS-I class.
Second you need to know how to use ADB console (not in this tutorial).
Third enable developer options (not in this tutorial). Read here.
Let's rock
* Connect your phone to PC
* Be sure to enable developer options, enable debug mode and accept message from phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
* Format SD using phone menu.
* Start ADB console. Write:
>> sm list-disks
We will read something like: disk:179,64
>> sm set-force-adoptable true
>> sm partition disk:179,64 private
Remember disk:179,64 it's just an example, we have to write down what our phone shows.
Can be 179,64 also can be 179:192 also can be 179_32
All are correct. Exit adb now.
Last pass, migrate data
You must also migrate apps and data. This can be done through the storage section of your Android settings menu. Tap the MicroSD card, then move to the top right of the menu and click on Move data. You could not select this menu item before partitioning.
Check everything works
At this moment storage section in your android menu will show non-sense data (i.e. shows me -1.66GB free space, yes, minus 1.66GB).
Also your SD total storage can be wrong, mine shows 64GB but it's a 32GB SD card.
Install a 3rd party file app, like this one,and check storage:
Now all it's ok!!!
NOW DON'T FORGET THIS
* You can't simply remove your SD.
* If you want to replace SD for another one, maybe a bigger one, you CAN'T. You have to backup your data, un-make this tutorial (just down), make all steps with new SD.
* If HUAWEI updates ROM, I don't know what will happen, hope nothing breaks.
HOW TO "UNDO" THIS TUTORIAL
First of all backup all your info using google account, AIR DROID, etc.
* Start ADB console. Write:
>> sm list-disks
We will read something like: disk:179,64
>> sm partition disk:179,64 public
Now SD it's available for portable use, I think it has been formatted (don't know, never made this).
thx work perfectly for me
after
Code:
>> sm list-disks
it says:
Code:
/system/bin/sh: can't create sm: Read-only file system
Tried with
Code:
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
It says:
Code:
mount: '/dev/block/dm-0' not user mountable in fstab
Any idea?

Seems like the way your phone's filesystem is configured you are unable to remount a certain part of your partitions.
Is your phone rooted? If so you could try through the phone itself with an console/terminal emulator.
Honestly, I think su is a necessity to begin with either way even with adb.

Heya danibus, I was wondering.
You say in your tutorial that doing this would cease the usage of the SD card as external storage.
Makes me wonder, have you tried doing this through the use of partitions, dividing the sd card for example in two halves, 32gb each, then adopting one of the partitions with the internal, leave the other one mounted to the external mount point?
I would try myself right now but my phone doesn't arrive for another week.

No, as my SD is only 32GB, if I make i.e. 50% for internal storage and 50% for external, I will have only 16GB for install programs+data (internal storage), I prefer 32GB for them
But you can try and post here result!
I did this manipulation and it worked fine (once I found the correct and last version of adb...).
It took maybe 5 or 6 minutes max.
BUT, if I tried this it is because the phone showed en out of space message and I couldn't download an update. Then after the extension of the storage, I still was unable to down load and apply this update.
The phone showed 80 Go of memory (64+16) with the third party app, and the setting menu still considered the internal memory as full. So, it worked but it was not a solution to my issue.
Do you have any tip to tell in order to solve this problem ?
thank you very much !

Hello
What ADB version did you get?
Did you restart your phone and tried to download/install update?
---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------
I really like this post.
I am only relutant because there is still no feedback.
I have the Huawei P8 lite 2017 for only a week, it is still in its warranty and I don't want to void that.
I have a 32gb sd card, I have it as the predefined storage, still I have installed some apps and the internal storage has been decreasing, I have read that, once an app is updated it goes to internal storage.
I really like to keep the original Huawei software/firmware updated and looks like that this is no great solution...
Another thing that I have read is that is possible to format sd card as internal, but not under EMUI 5.0...
Thanks guys
Is this work on Nova lite?
Its dosent works! all looks OK but I dont have the space of my sdcard. its Total: 128Go dispo : -4,33.
I dont hunderstand why i have no room....

In the OP it says to install a third party app to see the actual free space like a file manager, try that.

Thanks works magic, got some trouble to get it works on first time, problem seemed to be in external sd setting. Once set to use as external memory and formating all went just as explained. Thanks again Jan
Hi everyone, i've got issues with my P8 lite 2017 since I've done this trick.
Everything works great but when I wanna download something, my phone tell me it can't download because of there's no SD card.
So I got myself an SD card and i did the tutorial with adb and made the sd card as internal memory. But now when I try to update my apps from the Google Play store I get the Insufficient storage... :thinking:
had to redo this after receiving an OTA update. After the update it appeared that the adoptable storage was still there, but apps were writing to the internal storage only and the phone quickly ran out of space.
Even after redoing the ADB changes I had some trouble with Spotify which claimed there was no storage available and refused to launch. So I ejected the SD card, reinstall Spotify and then remounted the card - this seems to have fixed the issue.
Help @ mixed 60
After doing this command "adb....... mixed 60" it worked fine, but now my huaweii p8 lite 2017 only recognizes the 40% and can't read the 60% part of the disk. looks like it´s not mounted.
How can I mount this 60% of the disk? thanks
danibus said:
No, as my SD is only 32GB, if I make i.e. 50% for internal storage and 50% for external, I will have only 16GB for install programs+data (internal storage), I prefer 32GB for them
But you can try and post here result!

Hello,
What happens if I remove the SD when the phone is turned off?
Or if i want to completely restore my phone?
Thanks for your help
Hi all,
First of all thank danibus very much for your tutorial, your help is really precious. I have applied your method at my P8 lite 2017 and I am currently using a third party app to check my storage. It seems to me that the only internal storage considered by the system is the sd card, and is not really considering the initial internal storage as a place to store data.
Is still possible to access the original internal storage to save/move/change files?
If yes how?
If not, since my internal storage has still 7 GB of free space, should I undo the procedure, wait until the internal storage is almost filled and then redo the procedure again?
Thanks a lot!
Have adb installed. Dev options enabled. Oem unlocking on. And usb debugging.
I have done this on my cricket stylo 3 and works great.
Open CMD (command prompt) on your PC and enter: “sm list-disks”. This will display the disk ID of your phone’s card.
Mine was the sm disk private:179,64. Yours may be diffrent.
Then enter “sm partition disk:XXX:XXX”, where you replace the X’s with the disk ID number.
Wait for the process to finish and reboot your phone.
After reboot goto storage settings.
click on internal storage then 3 dot menu and click migrate data.
These instructs were pulled from a load of diffrent websites including xda.
If any questions or probs google enabling adoptable storage and same methods for gs7
Keep in mind things go wrong. We all asume the responsibility when modifying our devices. I took the same riskz on my own device.
Also I made a comment but figured it should be here. When using this mod always use higb end class 10 or better sd cards. Low end cards can cause system lags due to low read write speed.

Sorry give me a few and ill update op
When the site comes back up ill post the instruc instead of link. Just be reminded this is not my work. Just my searching on the case and bringing it here for all to try.
And also more footnotes. Some people have claimed slivht lags sometimes using substandard sd cards. Im using a 32 gb samsung evo class 10 which has a decent read write speed so i have not noticed any lag yet.
Also i have not researched yet how to undo these changes from my understanding sd becomes encrypted and in past only a factory reset and a sd format in another device was only undo. I know mm didnt support decrypt dont know if nougat does or not
Adoptable Storage in MM:
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm list-volumes all
sm set-force-adoptable true
sm partition disk:179,128 private (replace with mixed what number you want to be external, ie: mixed 80 will leave 80% of card as external, 20% internal)
sm set-force-adoptable false
sm list-volumes all
NOTE: the fourth command partitions your SD card, and may take 2-3 minutes (or longer) to complete, depending on the size of your card. plus make sure you have a reliable and fast SD Card.
Disconnect your phone from the USB cable and reboot it. The reboot is crucial. Your phone may (or may not) take a bit longer to boot this time.
Once your phone is fully booted, tap Settings > Developer Options and disable USB Debugging, clicking “OK” to any messages that may appear.
Go to Settings > Storage & USB and tap your SD card. Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner and choose “Migrate data”.
If you were like myself before getting sandisks dual micro & regular sd ends (in 256GB!), I used the adoptable feature in MM up through Nougat. Now that I have a way to move items (not relying on apps that are flakey) in between my devices I have chosen to reload both phone & tablet (MM & Nougat) to fully adopt my exsdcards and its awesome! I mention this because if your still stuck getting items from the computer onto your device you can continue using the "mixed" command to keep part of your ex sdcard so as its visible under windows. I kept it low, to just get the 32gb I usually require on 16gb ROMS, but to do this you have to remember, you use the highest part of a 128gb sd card (86% on 119gb formatted) to add the smallest part to your internal memory.... ie "mixed 86%" will add 14% of your 128gb card to internal (if its like mine that formatted out at 119gb available) which roughly equals 32gb....
just sayin, great post... hope you didn't mind my adding

Hola, el proceso resultó bien, pero al momento de colocar "migrar datos" en mi teléfono aparece memoria interna insuficiente, y no me permite hacer nada más hasta reiniciar el equipo

Is internal memory that low? Or.....
When I tried this could not find selection for migrating data, until clicking on second sd card listing. Not the very bottom one.... Had to send phone in for repair due to micro USB plug in it quite accepting micro usb cables. So, won't have mine back for weeks.

Did you ever get this to work on the A3?
Trying to get this done without rooting
Does not work
Does not work on either Samsung Tab S3 with Oreo or with Galaxy 7 with Oreo. It appears the partition command does nothing. Perhaps locked out?

Yep. Samsung helpfully disables adoptable storage on all of their devices (the better to sell you models with more internal storage).
Formats to improper partition size...
When I do these commands, I wind up with a partition that is twice the size of my SD card and half the partition is filled with "system data". I have a 64 GB card, and it formats to 128 GB with half the partition filled. When I try to migrate my data, the phone just crashes. Can anyone help? I have an LG Stylo 4. Thanks!

Too many Samsung devs with too much time on their hands. What will they think of next?

The commands themselves are working, or it seems like they are, but after I've finished running them and I reboot my phone there still is no option for formatting as internal storage. what can be done to fix this?
???

If your NOT on a samsung phone (problems with adoptable storage), once you have run those commands that IS ADOPTING THE STORAGE, all that is required after is go back under storage and use the 3 dot (cheeseburger) menu to transfer files......

Bit old but same thing happens to me on an LG Stylo 5, I have tried searching and have not found any way to fix this.
What are you doing. I have an LG Aristo 3+. Looking to Root it.
