Hi all.... I haven't found specific answers to my questions so am posing them here.
I am running CM11
Can you expand your internal storage without doing an entire ext sd card to internal swap? I want to use only part of my ext SD card to enhance the internal storage.
Is there any point in formatting multiple partitions on the ext SD card as fat32 / ext4 / Linux swap anymore? I thought doing this would have part of the partition used for internal storage and part as the ext sd card storage. Formatting the SD card through CWM deletes all partitions and formats it all as FAT32 for external storage only.
Thanks and go Blaze haha

You can partition your SD card on your pc into pieces that android won't recognize..follow this as a guide..the program is fantastic

Thanks ink. I will look at this more tonight but I did use Partition Wizard Home and formatted the first partition as FAT32 which is recognized as the external SD card1 in CM11 but the 2nd EXT4 partition isn't recognized by the ROM it seems. Maybe I just don't know how it would be used but checking the storage in settings didn't have any change to internal.

I'm a little confused about how the Captivate storage is structured. Can someone clarify this for me?
The phone has internal storage and external storage. The external storage is straight forward so we can ignore that.
The internal storage is broken down into:
1. Internal SD card (~13.5 GB capacity)
2. Internal phone storage (~2GB capacity)
These are logical partitions of the same internal SD card (physical NAND storage) correct?
On a stock phone all of the OS and App data is stored on the "Internal phone storage" in separate folders?
Mimocan's lagfix works by moving the App data to a partition on the "External SD card"?
The EXT2 lagfix works by creating a new partition out of the "Internal SD card" which acts as a buffer between the OS and App data? (I think my understanding is definitely wrong here.)
60 views and no thoughts?
There are a bunch of partitions on the internal memory. The ext2 lag fix works my creating an image of a partition and then mounting it via loop back device. The mimocan variant for the Captivate mounts an ext2 or ext3 partition and symlinks to it, or its just mounted as the target directory, I haven't checked.
So i was looking through 4Ext touch's recovery menu and i saw an option in tools to check for sd card partition alignment so i did and according to that the sd card partitions were not properly aligned (whatever that means) so i backed up the data on my sd card and went to repartition it and now it's asking me to choose a partition size for the 1st and 2nd partition plus the swap. I have no idea what to put, i have a 32gb class 10 sd card. Can someone please explain to me what does this whole sd card partition alignment means and what should i choose?
We dont need to partition SD card for inspire. It is for devices will less ROM space, where you partition SD card and use it as phone storage. So just delete all partitions, and just have one.

Ok, thank you very much.
Hello everyone, i have a memory card of 16Gb (transcend class 10) and i partitioned it into two parts. So that i can use a partition as internal storage for installing apps in Marshmallow Roms. The problem is when i select a partition to be formatted as internal storage both the partitions get merged. How can i use the two partitions seperately? How can i use one partition for installing apps and another partition for keeping media?
(Pardon me if i posted in the wrong place. As I'm a noob in XDA)

i try out this method to SPLIT the SD CARD BETWEEN ADOPTED INTERNAL STORAGE AND PORTABLE EXTERNAL STORAGE.
it work. just follow the instruction on this website :http://blog.sam.liddicott.com/2016/...roidlessons.com/how-to-move-...0-marshmallow/
if you face the problem of adb devices no unauthorized . please follow the solution given here :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...e-unauthorized
thank for pengkoh1

I have a question.
I have a Sony Xperia L.
I'm using the CM 12.1.
I think of migrating CM13 is because of adoptable storage.
Now I have 1.57 GB of internal memory, 4GB internal storage (SD0) and a Micro SD Class 10 with 8 GB.
As I have many applications installed. While using "Move to SD card" easily fill the internal memory (1.57 GB).
I think turn SD 0 in "adoptable storage", would solve all my problems and not create others.
1) Micro SD (SD1) continue to be FAT32. So could continue putting my pictures and music. No problem. When you want to install new ROMs would not need format my SD Card.
2) The "adoptable storage" will be inside the unit, the same unit of physical memory to the internal memory, with the same safety and speed, without the risk of being removed accidentally.
The "adoptable storage" is operation with 3 stesps:
- Partitioning,
- Formating,
- Encript...
Is possible
I ask: is it possible to use SD 0 as "adoptable storage"? How to make?
It is possible to do by ADB with the Android, only format and encrypt the partition that is indicated and "adopt".
Sorry my bad English.
Hi there. I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 1S with 16GB SD card. Previously I had partitioned my SD card with 2nd partition set to FAT type, which I used to link apps to SD card using Link2SD. My SD card could be read fine by my laptop when I plugged it in to my laptop with a USB connector (i.e. I could open both my internal storage as well as external SD card storage). Recently I had to reformat the SD card due to some issues with my phone, and I hence deleted the old partition and created a new 2nd partition in EXT2 format instead. The 2nd partition is readable on my phone and works with Link2SD to link apps to SD card like before, however when I plug into my laptop, I cannot see the SD card storage. I can only see the internal memory storage. Please advise how to fix this, if possible without reformatting, as I am unable to move files to and from the SD card storage if I can't see it. Thank you!
I want to keep my files in SD card . Also I want to move apps to SD card at the same time.
I have tried creating 2 partition in SD card using aparted app. Both were in exfat format (means portable). Then I went to settings > storage and formatted one of the partitions as internal storage. But unfortunately both partitions became internal instead of one.
Look inside here:
Make your SD card Semi-adopted. Works great!
EDIT: MARSHMALLOW ONLY I hate the small amount of internal memory, but I don't want to make my ENTIRE SD of 128GB Adopted and unremovable. So I found this post describing how to make your SD only partially Adopted by splitting the partition in...
