Formatting SD Card as Internal Storage - General Questions and Answers

I've flashed my tablet (SM-T800) according to the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...android-6-marshmallow-tab-s-10-5-lte-t3219759
One of the instructions mentions coping SuperSU and GApps to the SD Card afterwards so they can be reflashed after an update. Does this mean I can't format the SD card as internal storage?

You can. But you still can copy files to SD card AFAIK.

Internal SD Card

My CWM is pointed to my external SD card, so I can't install new ROMs, etc. How do I get CMW to point to the internal SD card when I boot into recovery? Thanks.

[Q] TWRP 2.3.3 External SD Problem, G2x

Hello,
I have installed TWRP 2.3.3 on my LG G2x (rooted Android 2.3.4 OS) per the instructions on the teamwin website http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/63. I can backup to the internal SD but the external SD backups disappear upon reboot after backup. I can see the external SD backups after backup but before reboot via file manager (although the dates are wrong....they say 2007). But, when I reboot, all that was written to the external SD is lost. If I copy the internal SD backup over to the external SD, then TWRP sees it on both the internal and external SD (it is not lost or deleted). My external SD card is a 32gb class 10 card formatted with FAT 32. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get TWRP backup to external SD working? Thanks.
I would have posted to the appropriate developers forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749678&page=9 , but I am not allowed as I am a noob with less than 10 posts . Thanks.
Best Regards,

Never mind . I ran H2testw software on my SD card and determined that is is a fake. Sold to me on ebay as a 32gb card and it is actually only a 2gb card!! Filing a dispute with the seller right now!!

Marshmallow 6.0 internal storage feature

After adopting an SD card as internal storage, I ejected my SD card and formatted phone. Now I'm unable to read SD card neither in phone nor in laptop. I seek your instant assistance with proper guidance.
It told me before it do internal storage my sd card that if I reset the phone that I have to redo the sd card again.

Fresh Install and SD Card issues

I like to flash new roms every once in a while. I always keep the SD card as external storage and not adoptive, but everytime I flash a new rom the OS requires a format saying "Invalid Format". If I flash to the backup of the previous rom, the SD card reads fine. Is there some special formatting that needs to be done so that I won't have to format the SD card between fresh flashes?
Do you encrypt the SD card? What format has the SD card (FAT32, NTFS, UFS)?

Who keeps their TWRP backups on the external SD card?

Who keeps their TWRP backups on the external SD card?
Yup, I'm finding that AFT will not allow me to open up the SD card when I have a TWRP directory with backups on the SD card, and I am booted to the System! I can open the SD card up when I am in TWRP.
Anyone else?
