I set my SD card to adoptable storage, all works great except TWRP. I cant flash any zip I download because TWRP doesn't see the adoptable storage. Anyone else notice this or have a workaround?
I'm having the same problem. But I've found a workaround : put your files to /data/media/0/ and flash from there. But it's still a workaround... Waiting for adoptable storage support

Would that put it on the SD card or the phone's storage? Also, if you wipe /data, wouldn't the files in /data/media get wiped too?
Also, another workaround is to sideload.
It's on phone's storage, and I think data wipe will wipe it. But that's the only option now) Sideload does require PC, I'm used to do everything on phone itself))
Oh, another suggested workaround is to use OTG if you have that handy.

Are you having to wipe the SD card everytime you flash a different ROM with adoptable storage? Found that out the hard way myself last time, and just wanted to make sure it's a consistent issue, and not something I messed up.

Can you confirm OTG would work while having adoptable storage? That could be great
I can't even get my adaptive storage to work anymore after switching roms,it crashes everytime after like few min (when formatting) when I reboot my sdcard shows as 15MB and have to format it in my pc lol
@Sabissimo
I had accepted that this was a bug and was forced to format as portable even tho I didn't want to. But I obviously need to be able to flash zips and make and restore nandroid backups.
I continue to look daily in hopes there will be a fix and this adaptable storage option in MM will be as we originally thought it would.
Has there been any other news on this?
Has anyone figured a work around, other than otg? That's is if it even works bec iv seen a lot of users saying otg did not work.
This is SUCH a let down. I also bought the 16gb purposely as someone else said.
I'm at least hoping there's a workaround that I just haven't heard of yet, that works.
This sucks.
Happy new year everyone[emoji20]

How does everyone feel about Samsung disabling the adaptable storage feature of Marshmallow? Wonder how hard it would be to re-enable once Rooted?
Should be doable https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3z1bfi/enable_adoptable_storage_on_your_lg_g4_stock_no/
Although will twrp see this or will this only work once your in android?

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
ashyx made an adoptable storage enabler for any samsung device
flash it through TWRP and format your card - there should be an option for internal storage

Hi all,
I'm new to smartphones and this is my first phone . I'm trying to sent external SD card as internal storage. Issue is that phone has only 8GB of ROM and by default 3.2 is System and 3.5 is Used space. So there is just a tiny space left on the internal memory. Android version is 5.1.1. I have rooted it with TWRP 3.0.2-0 and SuperSU. SD card is Kingstone SDca3/32GBn0557-004A00LF.
I have been reading a lot of tuturials to make external memory internal with no luck. I have tried adb tools, formating it with Mini Tool Partition Wizard-DroidThunder, a2sd, Link2SD, etc... I'm also OK with installing custom ROMs that will enable me to make internal memory of my SD card.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks xD.

You could update to marshmallow and use adoptable storage.

Ah yes, forgot this device uses a Spreadtrum chipset so will likely never get an update.
Install lineage 14.1 and format sd card into intern memory
Read xda forum for installing lineage on sm j320f
Screenshot storage
Sorry for the late response, I finally manage to get a day off. Thank you all for helping me xD. I wil install Lineage 14.1 and I have some questions. I was able to find this one LOS 13 and this is Android 6.0. I have also find this on youtube How To Install Android 7.1.2 Nougat on Samsung Galaxy J3 Nougat Custom Rom Lineage OS 14.1 but I'm unable to download ROM, the link is not working. I'm OK with any version of Android that will allow me to get SD as internal.

I was able to install RR 8.5.8 with Android 7.1, SD card is formated as internal storage. It's OK for now, but still when I go to storage internal SD and external appear as to separate cards. I have migrated all the stuff to external. Some app. do not have option to move to external SD card. Both cards are appearing as separate units. I have seen this tutorial https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-format-microsd-cards-as-internal-storage. It appears that both cards are seen as one by the Android. This is exactly what I want. I have been trying this article with no joy. Can some one please explain me that exactly I need to do? Thanks XD!
hello there i am also interested in getting this done for a friend...would love to know your results so far as of what little i know about spreadtrum devices they are notoriously hard to work with and tend to brick quite often.. @1Igrach if you could post your results regarding this issue it would be much appreciated thank you
Hello,
Found a cheap new Tab A for like $120. It's the 32/2GB. Looking to not have issues with internal storage. How does adoptable storage work on this device?
Has anyone ran out of app install/data memory on this device due to the 32 GB of internal?
Thx.
you need root and probably it wont work on stock rom
app2sd >partition adoptable>adoptable storage>create >voioa!
