Edit: Never mind for the alarm the app didn't ask me permission so I set it manually and it worked.
On stock I use this voice recorder and set the save folder to my SD card. On LineageOS (or CM before) when I choose the folder on my SD card, it vibrates and says it can't be done and that I have to choose another folder.

I've already tried the KitKat SD card fix but that doesn't do it.
Why does this happen on LineageOS/CM?

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot figure out how to make the external SD card the default storage. Be it for downloads or data from apps, it's all saved on the internal one and I can't see a way to change it. Most answers I found on google are suggesting to change it in the settings (storage --> make SD card primary storage, which is not available) or in the aosp browser (not available either).
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Three screen shots to see below.
1. I don't think there is a "global" setting to make everything go to the SD card - some things just won't work from there.
2. You can move all your videos, pictures to the SD card - see screen shot.
3. The camera app has a setting for SD card as default - just search my posts as I already have posted screen shot of this.
4. Some individual apps can be moved to SD card, there is two places under settings /apps to see. a) individual app page whether it can be moved and b) the tab were it shows all the apps that are on the SD card. I haven't tried it but I think from this tab you can also select multiple apps to move to SD card at the same time. I would guess that ones that cannot be moved would be grayed out. Also keep in mind that sometimes apps that can be moved to SD card don't work properly afterwards. Most widgets fall into this category.
I hope this helps you.
there are a billion apps that will move the programs to your sd card link2sd is one example. Or you can wait till we get Android M
One cuestion about sd-card: google play music, cm music, apollo, don't read my mp3 files placed in sd-card, vlc player it reads, have: unlocked bootloader, squid kernel, stock rom, root, xposed, gravity box, no device check. Any idea?
To Makr external sd as defult u need to root your phone then install xposed frame work after that just install the modupe name Xinternal and in xposed tick mark on xinternal now your external sd is default
Who would want everything on extSD? Why not use your fast internal storage if you can? Music, Photos and videos on SD should be sufficient.
Hi, I flashed cm13 on my klte, chose to format SD as internal, flashed 13 again(don't remember why) and then my phone wouldn't recognize my sd. Thought I had corrupted it so I bought a new one and formatted that as external, still the same. I can see the SD card and what's inside it with file manager, and I can transfer files to and from with my PC, but if I try to download anything from a browser I get "no SD card"
Any suggestions?
I am using lineage os. Soon after flashing this ROM I was not able to cope files to SD card either from file manager or from windows, Any fix?
Same here SD card is formatted as internal. Can't move files to SD card. I'm using g4 plus lineage is 15.1. And after days use it slows down. Else everything working fine
Hi
OK, so this is my question: I just installed LineageOS 15.0 on my XT1685 . And when I was using the stock ROM (N), I used my SD card to store pictures, videos, etc. After installing O, this option seemed to have disappeared for some reason. First, I couldn't get to choose save location from the stock camera app that came with the Gapps ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797336 ). Then I tried installing Open Camera, but then I got this issue with not being able to write to the SD card (see attachment).
At this point my SD card was formatted as "portable". And I just could NOT get Oreo to understand that I wanted to use it as a default for storing pictures and video. After a while I gave up, and re-formatted as "internal". Which basicly means that now the phone's storage and the external storage are kinda "integrated" in a way.. the SD has become a part of a greater whole..
Which leads me to my actual question...:
Why is it that I could not get it to work as it did on Nougat - as portable, basicly..
And also; how to get around this?
Just to be clear, this is a general Android question (I think), NOT a question specific to the Lineage ROM (which is awesome btw, imo!)
Thanks,

I have AOSP Extend Oreo on my g5+. I put open camera on my phone and was able to store pics on the SD card. However, it stopped working and won't store pics at all. I installed the native moto camera app, but it won't let me store pics to the SD card. I'm hoping someone can provide some assistance.
I am on stock Oreo and I currently use my SD as portable. Formatting the sd as Internal eventually led to 3 different corrupted sd cards after some time, so, if your problem is not software-related, try to stick to formatting the card as portable storage.
I only know a part of the problem, which is happening to me too: a while after restarting the phone, I open my SD card in any file manager (I have Total Commander) and it doesn't show any file but both the file manager and the system shows the Sd card's occupied and free spaces, and I've had to dismount and remount the SD card in order to be able to get to any file or folder of it, but several minutes later the files become impossible to access again.
I have installed Lineage 18.1 on my Galaxy S10+ SM-G975F (Exynos). I have a 128GB SD card that I can save files and apps to but when I connect the phone to my linux desktop I can see the SD card but no internal storage. The label on the SD card is "android" not "SD Card"
I have the Brave browser app that I have given storage permission to the SD card but when I download an app it appears to have been downloaded but it wont install.
I also have music files on the SD card but the music app cannot find them
I can download an app on my computer and then transfer it to the phone and install it but I cannot do it via the phone.
I suspect it has something to do with permissions but I am at a loss to how to fix it.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Other issues (may be related?). The music and camera app that come with Lineage do not load and the phone app cannot find my contacts .vcf card that is on the SD card.
The issue is solved as I reinstalled Lineage and now both the internal and SD storage is available!
Thanks, still a nice basic lesson.
