I can't find my external SD in Astro or Root Explorer, but the Android system shows it in the storage menu, and my camera saves the photos there, which I can see. I can also view it in recovery. Is there a reason my file managers can't see it?

It's most likely not formatted to the correct format then.

So why does the system recognize and use it?

Mine's the exact opposite. I have the Sandisk Ultra 64gb class 10. I can't see it in Recovery, but everything else sees it just fine.
Silly question, but are you looking in the right place?

you need to reformat it as fat32. There's a thread in the general section about it.

yeah... I saw that... Somewhat torn though with the file size limitation of FAT32.

I own this thing pictured below this message..
It, and other adapters like it work with a cheezy, sketchy, chinese app that allow you to browse files on the sd card. The OS will not read the card natively. I refuse to use the app. Bleh.
When I was on Stock, rooted, it wouldn't mount the card. I figured it didn't work with the N5 natively.
I eventually switched to SlimKat and it supported this adapter (and likely others like it) easily. Plug it in, the sd card would show up in any file manager.
Then I switched to Rastapop, not supported. I'm going to Catalysm as soon as the next build is stable. I have a feeling I can do or flash something to make this just work on any rom. I've tried different kernels after reading that it was a kernel thing. No help.
What gives?

Things I don't want to do, and that weren't needed on SlimKat:
• Will not instal crappy apps that allow me to view the contents, i want to use any file manager, particularly Solid Explorer
• Will not install StickMount - tried it, not a fan, I want native support
• Will not install "Nexus Media Importer" app

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually flashing Cataclysm today. Do you know if it also worked before you switched over to hells kernel? I never even heard of hells. Why'd you choose it?
I have Micromax A104 with a custom rom [Sony Xperia E4]. No need to mention it's MTK based phone and has 2 partitions in the internal memory (~800MB for apps and ~1GB for files). So, I just searched a flashable zip to resize internal partitions on this ****ty phone and succeeded. Now I am having ~2GB space for apps and ~300MB for files. (I'm really not sure about numbers at the moment).
The first problem came was my phone saying "Damaged SD card, please format". It thought my internal SD card is corrupted. I played cool as it didn't bother me much and my apps were having a good time until today. I was searching for custom ROMs for my phone from a while but, wasn't able to find a ROM without less bugs, today I found one of Xperia E4. :laugh:
I installed it, everything's fine. Camera checks out, Synchronization checks out, and everything works fine. The only problem is, even though I have repartitioned my internal memory, I'm still having problem installing all my apps that were before. The ROM took much more space than the stock and now I've run out of space again.
I can't move app data to external SD card even with 3rd party apps like "System app remover" & "Link2SD". Please help guys.
I thought to partition my external SD card in order to keep apps on it, but I have no idea about which partition to make, file format to use, and what names I should give them.
TL;DR: Want to keep apps on external SD card, don't know partition format and afterward procedures to do so. Help
I have this 32GB class 10 Samsung EVO. I want to use 4GB of it to keep apps. Help me in doing so please.
Please note - My device is MTK based Micromax Canvas Fire 2 A104. I am using Sony Xperia E4 ROM (I don't think it matters). I have CWM recovery and I wasn't able to find a stable TWRP for it.
I would really appereciate your help. :good:
Thanks,

Anyone else having issues with OTG behavior on their XZ Premium.
I'm using a G8142 and was having so much trouble accessing my media on my Samsung T5 2TB Portable SSD.
It does show up on the file manager but not as a mounted drive.
Here are some screenshots of the issue. https://imgur.com/a/ATqKi
I checked with my LG V20 and it works fine. Wasn't able to plug the same OTG device on a Samsung S7 but tried a different one. It was also mounted and showed up on the Storage Folder.
If someone knows a fix for this, please do share.
Thanks.

So I was able to find out why the music players are unable to access it. It's mounting the USB storage on the directory root/mnt/media_rw. Seems to be related to how Android 6.0 and above treats USB media.
https://source.android.com/devices/storage/traditional#support_usb_media
I've also read Nexus devices were experiencing this issue so my take is that it's inherent problem
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/caj90IITnhg
Any thoughts on this?
Nobody?

It's formatted to ExFat. Can anyone please confirm if OTG does indeed work here. I am currently in a back and forth conversation with Sony Mobile here and they're saying that the device does not support USB OTG but only USB Host. At that point, I don't think that it should affect it.
Adopted storage for galaxy tab a6 sm-585t I do not know if it works on other models but very likely if

What does this do exactly? Does it allow you to use the SD Card as internal data source?

This is true? In last months I am not searching for this, but is the first time that I see a patch for 7.0.
For example, this post is only for 6.0, and I supose that this is only because they doesn't find / created any patch for 7, because some people is asking: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3507387
----- [After write the previous text] ---------
I searched the MD5 of the file, and found adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx.zip uploaded by ashyt16 (I supose that is this user: https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4899305), that is just the user who posted the 6.0 posts aboud enable adoptable storage, but always for mashmallow.
Some posts refers to this file https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75078712&postcount=58 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75942894&postcount=25
Are you saying that this file works on Tab A with 7.0? (And not using it on 6.0 and then updating).
What benefits does this give? Sorry if that is a silly question, I'm new to this.

I thought this tab already does that. As soon as I put in an sd card a screen comes up asking me if I want to use it as internal storage.
