Hello, how are you?
I have in my mobile j5 8gb of storage itnerno, which most is occupied by the s.o, I wanted to know if I can convert my SD external memory into internal,
I do not have the cell phone rooted but if necessary, I will rooteo without problem
Thank you
you can do adoptable storage by installing root essentials on playstore(needs root, assuming you already know how to root your phone) and make sure you backup the files from the sd since it will be formatted as internal. also the rw performance will vary from your sdcard type(recommended class 10 uhs-i or at least have 70mb/s read and 30mb/s write speeds)
or you can use xinternalsd and obb to sd(xposed modules, requires xposed framework) if you want full access to your sdcard without dealing with performance degradation and formatting stuff

Can Apps Installed on Redme Note 2 Prime Phone Transferred to SD Card to Save Internal Phone Memory .
Also does the Phone Support UHS (Ultra High Speed) SD Cards.
Android doesn't allow bootable data (apps) in external storage until 6.0 Marshmallow. We will have to wait until Xiaomi decides to upgrade MIUI to M (which I heard may be in 2016 Q1, correct me if I'm worng). Just get the 32GB version and you'll be fine.
Install Xposed Framework and use Xposed module "Obb on SD"
With the obb data on sdcard, the 16GB storage should be enough for a large amount of apps simultaneously installed.
Use "Folder mount" application to save up more space if there are specific large folders in the internal memory made by apps.
No and yes to your first and second question respectively.
Although I wouldn't use an SD card for apps in the first place, mainly because they're much slower than internal storage, even UHS ones.
With xposed use xinternalsd.
Would work in CM?
Maybe you can try foldermount that had been mention by @hasaan6545. It works for me too..

Hello.
I've a TAB A6 SM-T580 16 Go with MM 6.0.1
I'd tried to merge the memory SD card's (64 Go) with the internal memory using ADB command.
In reality, the result is a joke. It's always not possible to instal apps beyond 16 Go of storage.
Does anyone have a solution ? My son is very disappointed. It must each time uninstal some application to proceed new instal.
Help please.
you would need to install superuser with pc to root it.
then an app like apps2sd to link the app data to sd.
the sd card also need to be 2 partitions.
something like smaller partition 1 fat32
larger partition 2 ext4
Decided to start using this yesterday, was a sort of on the whim decision.
I have a 32 gig S7 and a 64 gig sd card, it is an expensive samsung SDHC EVO UHS card. (they cheaper now but was expensive when I purchased).
So previously I had internal memory which was the phone's internal storage, obviously this is not the full 32 gig as a chunk is partitioned off for OS usage.
SD card as portable storage formatted using exFAT
I noticed first when I installed superman rom I couldnt make /data F2FS, tkkg explained it is because alot of the scripts used to install the likes of magisk etc. do not support F2FS so my internal is ext4, but I managed to make the cache filesystem F2FS at least.
Likewise yesterday I discovered using the portable sdcard as F2FS is also not supported, the rom wont auto mount it and a notification appears saying its corrupted. Since I had already wiped the SD to change filesystem I decided to try adoptable storage, I enabled using the adb method and using the mixed mode so not the full sdcard is adoptable storage, in my case I chose a 50/50 split bearing in mind nandroid backups are huge, to do one single backup I need 12 gig free on the portable sdcard storage.
Interestingly I discovered the partition used for the adoptable storage is F2FS , it gets mounted under /mnt/expand/{some long random id}, I dont know the exact criteria for how parts of data get moved there but 1.8gig was utilised from the off.
Knowing its F2FS which is more resilient than exFAT, I have already moved titanium backups to the adoptable storage away from the portable sdcard storage and I plan to also move media to it as well that is currently on the portable storage.
My free space that is available for internal use is now moved from 13.6gig free out of max 25 gig to 36gig free out of a max 55gig.
I have one warning tho, I have already raised this on github to the TWRP dev's, from what I can see TWRP is not adoptable storage aware. The F2FS partition is not auto mounted in TWRP and I cannot even find a way to manually mount it (in the GUI), since some stuff from /data will get moved there it means when a nandroid backup is done parts of /data may be excluded that are sitting on the adoptable storage. Not a big deal if you doing a backup to test something, and then if you restore, its done close to when the backup is taken, but if the restore is done a long time after the backup the adoptable storage been out of sync might be an issue.
I welcome further thoughts from people.
update TWRP devs say it is supported but might be an issue with mixed mode which I will provide them more info on later.
attaching speed test
first sdcard is exfat second is f2fs Adoptable
I'm really confused what you are trying to show? Are you claiming that your sd card somehow becomes faster as adoptable storage?
I dont know if it is actually faster but it does benchmark faster probably due to using F2FS instead of exFAT.
The main reason I am preferring F2FS as it has more resilience than exFAT whilst still been fast.
Ok a little update, after my failed aatempt to upgrade to a 128 gig card, I restored the nandroid backup which I made before I first inserted the 128gig card.
Now the adopted storage is not been mounted by android, I wont be doing anything about this now as I have another 128 gig card arriving tommorow at which point I will need to setup mixed storage on that anyway, but it seems if you try to make another adoptable storage on new card, even if you have a nandroid backup, the previous adoptable storage is not preserved, suggesting the settings for it are not configurdd in a location that is included in nandroid backups.
I am not aware of a process that allows an already created adoptable storage partition to get remounted, I assume I would need to wipe the sd card again and rerun the commands to set it up which is not very user friendly.
It was running perfectly fine until I tried to make a new storage on my 128gig card, but is flawed if you are swapping out sd cards.
ok some clarification on the bench figures.
The red scard is the portable sdcard storage.
The yellow sdcard is actually the phone internal memory.
Internal memory is the adoptable storage.
So the F2FS isnt miles faster which makes sense as F2FS is supposed to be very close to exFAT in performance, faster than ext4 but not so much exFAT, however it has exFAT levels of performance with better data integrity mechanisms (exFAT has no safety mechanisms).
I found this out in two ways.
The internal memory test failed when I accidently left the bench folder read only in the adoptable storage.
I also added a custom location test of /sdcard which matched the yellow sdcard scores.
The question now is that is the slower write performance of a evo+ card going to be noticeable versus the internal storage speeds. So far indications seem no, also that by default my camera was writing to the sdcard anyway and has always worked fine.
It seems what goes on the mnt/expand or on /sdcard when device storage is specified is automatically decided by an algorithm.
Those who are want to use adoptable storage and have concerns over write speeds, there is pretty fast sdcards out there like the samsung pro which has 90mB writesm, but I think that card can only go up to 64gig in size.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM -T550, 8 inch, 16 GB storage, Android Marshmallow.
Any way I can install programs to a sd card instead ?
Thank you.
I have found a partial solution.
I cannot directly install apps to my sd card, but I can move the installed apps to my sd card.
The method to move/transfer installed apps to sd card is from this link :

In these boards there is a patch to enable adoptable storage for Marshmallow, on the other hand if you are rooted and you partition your SD card to have two primary partitions (fat&ext2/4) than you can use an app similar to Apps2sd for those needs as well, which I do on my tablet, that is not Marshmallow, otherwise I would use the adoptable storage patch. Just look around in the boards.
Edit; here's the link for the adoptable storage patch

The adaptable storage method works on rooted, stock Nougat as well. Just got my tablet with 7.0 already on it and was able to get it done.
Hi, I'm currently on the Stock Unrooted G5 Plus Android 7.0, the device is only a 16GB but only 10gb usable space.
I have a 64gb SD card mounted, I formatted it as internal and I thought that would allow all the apps that are/get installed to the SD card. but it doesn't work for every app and well I end running out of space.
Would a custom rom fully utilize the SD as internal space?
Not directly... But rooting may allow things like App2SD or Link2SD to work and move apps to the SD card (may require formatting/partitioning of the SD card).
Under developer options there is a setting to ignore the application manifest and allow moving apps to the SD card anyway (Settings > Developer Options > Force allow apps on external). That may allow you to move a few more apps, however system apps will still be stuck on the device's storage. I feel your pain - my G5+ is 16GB too...
I didn't know the G5+ came with 16GB too

Same here,
Whn i was born i saw G5 Plus in 4/32gb n bought it..
2/3 gb ram on oreo+ devices doesnt perform as it is meant to.
:fingers-crossed:
The devs hv made our device a "mini oneplus":good::highfive:
Don't make you SD function as internal. The commercial SDs are not meant to function as internal memories, thus get easily corrupted. I myself got 3 cards corrupted after turning them into internal SDs. Just stick to the external formatting option. In any case, the apps would operate more slowly as soon as you install them on the SD, even when formatted as internal.
