adoptable storage impossible? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Is it no longer possible? I am running a very recent oreo build from verizon (pushed update) ... I was thinking I could enable adoptable storage using the adb walkthroughs I have seen around the internet:
sm list-disks
sm partition *tried-everything-I-could-think-of*​
Microsd is still listed as public and is not integrated into internal storage. Card is not even formatted, as it still retains test files.
... Or am I missing something?

Tried searching but didn't see anyone mention does the Axon support adoptable storage or did ZTE disable it?
not in the ui but
adb shell
sm list-disks
Take note of your device ID (disk: xxx,x)
To partition the entire SD card space as internal storage use these commands.

I have 128 GB memory card(uhs1 c10) but I cannot use that adoptable storage because mobile does not have that feature by default. I've latest firmware of it.(marshmallow)

Adoptable Storage question

I've already configured my Samsung 256gb sdcard as internal storage using adb back on marshmallow. However, because of this method, my internal storage numbers are all out of wack. Everyone is aware of this, I'm sure.
My question is in regards to the nougat update. Did the nougat update bring built-in adoptable storage, or do you still have to take the adb route? There's an option I've never seen before in storage settings. It reads "Format as portable storage". Does this mean that there may be a "Format as internal storage" option? Can someone who has a clean micro sdcard laying around check? If I can set adoptable storage using a built-in OS level function, maybe we could get correct storage numbers?

Samsung couldn't care less about Adoptable Storage. So no, Nougat did not bring it.
I've read on other threads that adoptable storage actually slows the phone down. Is there any truth to that?
I'd guess that depends on the card to some degree
Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!

Possible to install programs to sd card ?

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.

Custom ROM with adoptable storage for P580?

Hi all, quick question. I previously followed the "adoptable storage patch" instructions on the forum, but am having all sorts of problems with the system still filling up the 16GB of true internal storage (and flashing all sorts of warnings) even though it's got a 256GB card that is supposedly adopted as internal storage.
Question is, do the custom ROMs on the forum include a better implementation of adoptable storage where the system recognizes the entire 256GB+16GB=272GB as internal storage? I'm ready to wipe this thing and start over but not sure I'd be any better off. Thx in advance.
