Hi,
The option "Encrypt External SD Card" is missing on my device.
Does someone have an idea why?
thanks

I too have an Android One device, I don't have this option too.
Maybe Android One's Stock ROM doesn't provide this feature

Is there a way to save pictures/videos directly to the ext sd card?

Yes, look in the camera settings. You have to have an SD card inserted, though. Otherwise it won't work ^^

Card is inserted! No option to change storage locations under settings. SD card is shown under memory settings.

Hmmm
I don't see any way to do it either.
Maybe another camera app will have an option for this.
I dont think its possible with the stock camera. But it is possible with Camera Zooom.
Same problem for me on .26 and .30 but on the original rom I think the option was there.
I could use some help or direction to the correct forum about transferring apps from internal storage to SD memory card
My phone is a Sony Xperia SP and useless to me at present unless I find the information to use my SD card.
Any assistance would be received gratefully

find your way into the applications manager and the list of downloaded apps. click on any app, and you should see the "move to SD" option.
note: this is only good for games and such. bloatware and system apps will always be stored on internal storage. and theres good reason for that. if you store system apps on the SD card and the SD card becomes corrupt, youll have some serious problems

Got current TWRP installed. Works like a champ.
Though I don't see that it recognizes my external SD card, am I missing the setting somewhere?
Can't figure out how to backup/restore/install from SD card.
Thanks in advance!

You have official TWRP release? I have it on my M8 and it works with both FAT32 and exFAT formatted microsd cards.

Maybe I'm being dense (happens) but how does it manifest? In other words, how do you install a zip from your SD card for example?
EDIT: And yep, I'm being dense, didn't realize what is a button on the TWRP UI (coming from CM)

Click the install button. At the top it should have a text field that says internal storage and how much space it has. Click that and select external / micro SD

Is this still possible? If so, how do I do this? Preferably solutions without routing but any solution is welcome
For context I'm running Android Nougat (7.0) and this issue is regarding my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. As you're probably aware, the S6 doesn't have an SD card slot so I have to attach an adapter to use an SD card. This means that setting the SD card as internal storage would be a problem since I can't keep the adapter attached all the time, and if I unplug it part of my phones functionality would be affected, since it'll be formatted so my phone always expects it to be present (unless I'm mistaken). This also means that the solution of splitting the SD card into part portable and part internal wouldn't work either.
If you're wondering why I need an SD card its because I've run out of room for apps, I currently have no photos or music that isn't in the cloud so cleaning my phone out to make room isn't much of an option either.
If you need anything clarifying, just ask.
Moving apps to external SD Card
Google took a step backwards with this in the new update. Here's how you move apps from internal storage to your micro sd card:
1. Go to settings/applications/app manager and select an app you wish to move.
2. Select "Storage." Notice that the current storage location is provided. If the app is able to be moved to your micro sd card, there will be a "Change" option. If the app cannot be moved, thus field will not appear.
3. Change the location from Internal to SD Card.
4. Tap on "Move."
I have no idea why Google made this change, because it added more steps to this process than necessary, not to mention that it's a little harder to find on your own.

Thanks!!! Sorry just to confirm I don't have to have my SD card formatted as internal storage to do this right?

No, he described the normal "move to SD card" method, not the adoptable storage method, I think?

But on my phone, Android 7.0, there is not "Change" or "Move to SD Card" option for any installed apps.

I doubted it would have it, nougat should have the adoptable storage option, not the "move to SD" option. That doesn't do you any good.
I'm not sure that you can even do what you're trying to do without leaving the sd inserted.

As far as I know, in newer android versions you can only move apps to adoptable storage.
What you want might be possible with root and a dedicated App2SD app. Without root this is not possible.

If you do what was suggested above, you won't be able to remove the sd card because the device won't function properly with it removed. You'll get an endless chain of FC's(app has stopped working) that will make your device uncontrollable because it keeps popping up with FC notifications. You won't be able to navigate the device because the notifications will continously pop up one after the other.

While this is true, I think it should work for apps that don't start automatically. As long as the particular app isn't used it won't bother, I guess.

Yes, depending on the app. Then again, Google play services update checks for the installed apps might get a little screwy when the card is removed. Only one way to find out, try and hope it works.

Maybe because your phone doesn't have a sd card u need a sd card for the phone
Not all phones have a sd card
If you're phone doesn't support for a sd card than it's just not possible

Well most apps really can't be moved to external SD-card. Only a few can.
BTW:
The mentioned Link2SD app - as it name implies - simply creates in Android OS's file tree links ( read: shortcut in Windows OS terminology ) to apps / their data what are located on external SD-card. This only will work if the external SD-card has two partitions (at least): one partition works as a regular external storage on SD-card, for pictures, music, etc.pp, the second partition ( must be ext4 formatted ) would work as the "extended real memory" or, the virtual memory, where "externally installed apps" are housed.
Since Android 6 this technique is part of Android OS: it's called Adoptable Storage.
