I bought a 128GB memory card while I was using it as internal storage, but this option is not available.
please help
AFAIK Samsung disabled android's adoptable storage function on its phonres. Were you using your sd card as inernal storage on another phone?

Isnt there some form of terminal or adb commands to format and partition and make as adoptable? I know we have in past.But I dont know about the S8

Yes, HTC allows that. Samsung removed that option because of the changes they made to their custom kernel.
What aboot the "force allow apps on external" setting in dev options? Wouldn't this allow apps to be installed on the sdcard first?

I think this should work
There is a build.prop for it that is off in stock. Regardless there's nothing stopping you from doing this as root so rooted the answer is definitely yes. As for rootless I don't think it's possible unfortunately.

I'm trying to move anomaly 2 to my sd card, but it doesn't work. When I go to the application manager I have the option to move it to my sd card, but when I try it takes forever and then at the end it says unable to move app. I have moved many apps this way, but this one wont move. The only difference I can think of is the size of the app, anomaly 2 is 1.8gb which is the biggest game I have. I am using kitkat 4.4.2, and I am also rooted (this problem happened before I rooted though.)

You cannot move data app to sd-card
it s just for .apk
it means system install it on sd-card but Data will remains in internal memory
But do u use built-in app manager or another app?

I don't mind if I cant move the data, I just want to move the huge app from my internal storage to my sd card. I used the built-in app manager.

IF "move to sd-card" option is available in built-in app manager but u cannot move it.
that can be bug in that app. ask other user of app or its developer

Thanks, I didn't know it was up to the developer. I emailed the developer and unfortunately, I can't move it. Is there anyway to move it since my phone is rooted?

do say thanks hit it
cause it s on app the answer is NO.
if that was because of android system can use something like mount stick to mount sd-card with internal
(that is available on galaxy devices by default)

That sucks. Thanks anyway though.
If you will use your sd-card as internal storage then you must edit your build.prop.
You need ROOT on your LG G3
- open build.prop
- scroll down to "ro.lge.adoptable_storage=false" and change FALSE in TRUE
- save build.prop
- reboot phone
- go to "Settings" --> "General" --> "Storage & USB" --> "Portable Storage"
- select sdcard "random numbers and letters"
- select the three dots --> "Setting"
- apply "Format as internal"
- thats all
Tested with stock marshmallow 30B on D855 32GB.

Anyone tried it? Any possible feedback about this mod? Is this require class 10 msd card?

Please be aware that, Formatting the SD Card as Internal, turns your removable/external SD Card option into a more or less permanent (and no longer removable) part of the device.
If you choose Internal, things change. I believe the Card is formatted as a local encrypted EXT4 drive and mounted as part of the system. It's then set as the preferred storage, and you're prompted to move data over. Newly generated data is placed on the adopted storage by default.
If you try to remove it, things will probably/defiitely go haywire.

True. I don't recommend it though. Think system gets slow when using sd card as internal. I foresee hundreds of topics here on xda with MM is crap, apps are missing, this rom is so slow/laggy just as in my HTC Desire days when everybody used sd card as internal because of the little system space the desire had (150mb or something like that you could expand it to 1 or 2 gb if i remember correctly).

Ahh.... The days of the HTC Desire Bravo, my phone of choice at the time, whatever happened to Ext4 recovery....
I totally agree, keep away from SD Internal and get the App Developers to use Adoptable Storage.....:good:
Worked perfectly!
I tried it with the 64gb microSD XC card i just bought and now i have ~74gb of internal memory, thanks!
By the way, searching for the build prop line there was another one that said "persist.splitwindowsupport_all=false"
do you think that changing that value to true would bring multi window support for all apps? Thats a feature i used in my s4 ( via Xposed i think) and would like to have it in my 5.5 screen =D
If it doesn't work no biggie xD
Once again thank you! ^^

I followed the same steps as listed using Build Prop Editor. Then converted sd card storage to internal. However, my internal storage still reads 25 gb! I had a 128 gb class 10 high speed lexar card. It was also not showing up on terminal emulator through the "free -m" command. How to check where memory has gone? Thanx
Changed the build prop to false and redid everything. Works fine. Thanx

Well I wanted to increase my ram via sdcard through ramexpander. This was my usual routine. But Marshmallow nixed that and ramexpander was not able to write to sd card. So I edited build prop as shown in one of the threads and formatted my card to internal. Though ramexpander does not work, I have used swapper and voila! it was successful. I was able to verify swap through terminal emulator. Also increased clock speed. Now working well. I have found this method to be flawless when flashed properly. Trick is to flash all the zips and only then reboot. I read that the other method has issues.

Restore your build.prop copy or twrp copy of the /system partition or flash the whole system
Now that the G3 has marshmallow officially, you do not need root. You can change adoptable storage setting to True using ADB.
I even split my sd card into part adoptable (internal) and part portable (external).

Do you need root to do this?
All I've seen so far is that root is temporary on Marshmallow. So I would assume this change would revert back after I reboot my phone?
If you don't need root... could you post the steps and adb commands to enable it?
Thanks!
I used this as a guide.

It's supposed to be so you can move (some, not all) apps 2 SD card.
The problem is it does not automaitcally move the app to the card. You still have to move it manually. Also, when you update on Google Play, the app moves back to the internal storage.
It's not perfect and hopefully Android N improves this.
Is it for everyone? No. Some people do use it but some don't need it. Just leaving it "Portable"/External as it has been for years, still works fine.
I just did it because I can.
When you attempt to move an application to the external memory appears this problem
(Not enough storage space)
Note
sdcard 416 kB used of 58.23 GB

On motorola site https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582, It said that;
- If you select a card as portable storage, you will NOT be able to move applications to the card, nor will play store automatically install applications to this card.

From what I've read some phones doesn't have this option as google locks it up, only some Motorola and Htc phones has this option. While on Samsung, they've added this option on S7 and S7edge.
So not sure if the Dev's working on this or they removed it from the port, then that I do not know.

So i would like to expand my internal storage by using a micro sd card but iv read that smasung does not support this on thier devices (no idea why they wont ) so are there any custom roms that will "unlock" this feature or gain access to this? thanks in advance

Hi to you all, i been trying to use a sd card as the main storage on my sm-t595 without any success and now the internal storage is about full even though i moved some apps over to the sd card,
now my big question is if i root the sm-t595 will i be able to set the sd card as main storage in any way?
i don't care about warranty issues as i bought this a while back,
thanks in advance for any help provided

No. This is asked quite often and the answer is always no, because it is a BAD idea. The SD card is MUCH slower than internal memory and if you succeeded in running apps from it you'd start complaining about how "laggy" the tablet is. The Tab A line is Samsungs "economy" line of tablets and aren't designed for "gaming". (And gaming is the only thing that requires that kind of internal storage.) If you really require more than 32gb of internal, your only option is to buy a tablet that has more.
