I know this feature was made available in stock Marshmallow, but haven't found a way to do it yet on my S8.
Has anyone else managed to get it to work?

Hi, I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S4, and have been unable to find a simple answer on how to move my apps to my SD Card. It is obviously not built into CM, but I can't seem to find any apps that work for it. I tried Foldermount and Link2SD, but they both required an SD Partition or something, and all the ways to do that seemed way too complicated. Has anyone been able to find out about SD Card moving? I find it really annoying that on CM I only have 9GB of space built in, and now with my apps I only have 6GB of space... Please help, I really don't want to go back to Touch Wiz!!!
6GB is plenty. Put your media files on the SD card.
I can't find an option to encrypt the SD card. Under Settings->Security->Encryption there is "encrypt phone", but it doesn't seem to affect the SD card. Anyone know how to encrypt the sd card on this device?

I think that you have to format it as internal storage instead of a external SD.
When formatted as Internal it's encrypted.
BUT SDcard cannot be used in other devices then!
Thanks for the reply coolhead.
That's kind of disappointing. Am i correct that on some devices you can encrypt the SD card while its still external storage? I am almost 100% sure that my HTC M9 would do that.
I don't know it's been a long time for me to own an android device.
So this marshmallow is really new for me.
I just hate the idea that i cannot use the SDCard for apps if i use it as external.
Maybe someone else can answer your question about other devices able to do that.

I don't like not being able to use for apps when its on the external either. I checked on a friends S7, and found directions for doing it on the M9. So you can encrypt sdcard when used as external on other marshallow devices. Foiled by Lenovorola!!
I think encryption is not working in general and there is an issue about it: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-253
I am also quite sure that this bug was already in cyanogenmod and also reported there.
This refers to the encryption of the smartphone, not to the encryption of the microSD by adoptable storage.
adoptable storage with encryption working fine on LOS 14.1
I want to combine my SD card and Phone memory to make it bigger but I don't know how. Someone knows how to do it?
If on Andriod 6
DO the adoptable storage fix and format card
Is it safe? Does it have downsides when we successfully do it? I'm a little bit curious. I would like to know some proper steps and some good reminders doing the process...
Has anyone tried to split their SD Card to be able to use some for the internal adoptable storage and the rest as a normal SD Card?
I have problems with it, the partition that I'm using as the adoptable storage shows up as corrupt and the fix does not work for me. Anyone else had any luck with it? If so, what ROM are you using?
I'm running on AICP 7.1.1.
This link here shows you how to do it.
Hi all,
I'm new here and I've read a lot of posts regards new android MM, but whitout a answer.
I've got now a new galaxy j5 2016 that become with MM preinstalled.
Until yesterday I used Lollipop on other smartphone.
Now the problem is :
It's possible to use micro SD card as internal storage without encryption into my new galaxy J5 2016 as I did with my old smartphone with lollipop?
I know how to root the device and I know that I can use sd card as internal storage, but I don't want to encrypt, because in case of breaking the smartphone, I will lost my photo and documents.(backup is never up to date!).
Thanks for answers..
Best regards
Not sure if you already found the answer to your question but it is generally not possible to mount the SD card as internal storage without encrypting the sd card, let me know if you found any other workaround for this issue.
