Adoptable Storage on Honor 4c - Honor 4C Questions & Answers

Hi There..!
Is there any method to adopt SD Card as internal storage in honor 4c since adopting sd card is one of the new feature in marshmallow. I googled it and read many forums but found nothing. I want more apps to install but not enough space. even link2sd is not working with marshmallow.
Can this be done by formatting sd card manually as private..?
Any help appreciated. Thanks...

Huawei removed the "Adoptable Storage" option just like LG and Samsung in Marshmallow.
Link2SD isn't compatible with Marshmallow. Use Apps2SD - All in one Tool instead. I am using it on Marshmallow and it works!
Yes you can actually manually format your SD as private but it will make things extremely worse. Your total storage will be shown correct (i.e. Internal + SD Card) but the free space will be reported incorrectly (your SD card's free space will be shown as 0 Bytes). Furthermore your SD card will be completely inaccessible within the device. Even though the Adoptable Storage option is great but apps like Apps2SD provide you more flexibility and control over which apps you want to keep in Internal and which in External.
The following commands should be executed using ADB and USB Debugging switched on in Developer Settings. (i.e. turn on USB Debugging and connect your device to computer; open Command Prompt in the folder where Platform Tools ADB/Fastboot are present): Credits to Modaco for posting this solution for Samsung http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Your external SD card will be formatted during this process. Backup what's important before following the below instructions
Code:
[B]adb shell[/B]
[B]su[/B] [I]~ root privileges are required[/I]
[B]sm list-disks[/B] [I]~ this will list the available disks that can be adopted; take note of the disk id in output which is disk:XXX:XXX or disk:XXX-XXX[/I]
[B]sm partition disk_id private[/B] [I]~ obviously replace disk_id with the one shown as output in above command; this process will take some time[/I]
Your SD card will be set as Adoptable Storage. Reboot your device just in case. But I still remind you that this whole process is risky and Adoptable Storage doesn't works quite well in EMUI.

Can you please explain the proper method of using app2sd? or give any link to good guide?

root essentials on play market can add adoptable storage

I have used root essential and at last I have the freedom of 16 gb memory in which I can Install apps
U should try it
Its better than manual method and safe also
It does show 0 bytes in setting storage menu but in file manager it shows real storage value

Yes bro but just use a faster sd card for quick moving and creation of files.
Also root essentials makes it poosible to revert the changes.just remember u dont have access to the internal storage anymore by connecting to pc,but u can get back by reverting it so its all safe.

Could someone confirm that adoptable storage actually work? I tried to set it up in mixed mode: sm partition DISK mixed 50 with a 32GB SD card. It did seam to work, but at some point when I was installing software I got back out of memory, but for sure I have not used up the 16GB. Any Ideas?
I'm also not sure if you should use the migrate data option in the "Memory & storage" menu or not.
I'm using C675B530 and always running out of internal storage

When i used the root essentials to make adoptable storage on my 4c it needed to download and flash a zip from the recovery in order to work and it end up bootlooping my phone.
the good news is that i fixed my phone just by uninstalling xposed framework.

I would have to apologize, Xposed did not work as it should have so have not tried it again for a while.
Can't recall the name of the module

I definitely would not advise messing with adb unless you know what you're doing.
Maybe if you changed the default save location to the SD card, and transferred all media across?

not with this app, it corrupted my sd card and needed to format it manually, so when i did this i manually created two partitions the first is fat 32 for storage and the second is ext4 to link my apps there and it worked. the app i used to link the other apps is called "link2sd"

[Q] SD Card woes

Really happy with Tab 2 in general, but..
I've always used App2SD or similar and this fails to show SD card as an option.
SD card is seen by system, system can/has formatted SD card.
Root access is good, thanks one and all for the posts.
With ES explorer extSDcard is not always shown, have to enter root first then mnt etc to find it.
Can safely browse, add and remove files with most applications.
TiBackup has used SD card.
I really want to keep the system/application storage at maximum free space. Is it just App2SD or does everyone have the same issue?
Cheers
Alec.

This script simply swaps the mapping, external becomes internal and internal would be external. Not sure that helps. Guess you can shove in a big ol uSD but probably best advice is don't load a bunch of unused apps. 13GB internal is a lot of space.

[Q] CM10.2: Can't mount USB storage

Just installed cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-ville.zip. Turn on USB storage doesn't work - throbber keeps spinning forever. Logcat shows
Code:
E/MountService( 677): Failed to share/unshare
E/MountService( 677): com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector$NativeDaemonFailureException: command '36 volume share /storage/sdcard0 ums' failed with '401 36 volume operation failed (No such device)'
Anyone seen this before?
I had this problem when I accidentally deleted the sd card during a poor flash attempt. Took me a really long time to fix, formatted the sd card in windows after mounting on twrp. Does the phone find the sd card?

Yep the sd card works fine in the phone, it's only when connecting via usb to my (Linux) laptop to transfer files that it fails to mount it.
(I would post to the CM10.2 thread but I don't have permissions...)
same issue here
I just installed cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and not able to access not even the internal storage. I go to file manager, sdcard0 is selected at the top but no files are displayed.
I then wiped off everything and installed the previous build cm-10.2-20130823-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip . Same issue. Don`t know what to do..

Ok, so now i`m running the first build for CM 10.2 ( cm-10.2-20130819-NIGHTLY-i9100 ) same issue.
Basically when i open the camera it`s says No external storage available. If i go to Settings->Storage it shows Internal Storage 2Gb in size (this is where my apps are installed). Under that it shows SD Card with 16Gb (this is actually my external SD Card).
I really don`t understand what`s wrong here

I suspect you may have better luck in the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 forum, as this one is for the HTC One S.
Unless you're trying to install the i9100 rom on the One S, in which case I'm surprised it even boots.

What is everyone doing about SD cards?

I have had a low memory notification since day 1.
I'm happy to stay with Kitkat but this is the only annoyance with it!!!
Any suggestions?

I believe Kitkat doesn't allow you to install or move apps to the SD Card?
I never had a problem with KK and I was able to send apps to the SD but I don't
Know if it was because I had root access. You can also try buying a higer capacity one. I have a 32 gb one and it works flawlessly even on 5.0.2 as right now.. Also if you have root access look for an app called SD Maid it helps clean unnecessary stuff from your device.

Really?
You were able to go into settings >apps, and you had the option to move apps to sd card?
For me, this option is just greyed out... i thought this was the case for everyone running Kitkat
Can anyone else elaborate on this?

Wait a little longer and update phone to Lollipop, it has "move to SD card" by default.
Also transfer your photos, videos, music on your SD card, also in camera app set SD card as default storage path for taken photos and videos.
Also take something like "sd maid, or clean master" to clean your cache and temporary data on phone.

Yes, with root access there is mode to force move to sd on kitkat.

use the pin to take out the SIM compartment then place SIM card in slot 1 and the SD card in slot 2

This is what I have already done. But how can I format the microSD card to use it as INTERNAL STORAGE (App usage). Android 6 has the ability to format the microSD card for internal storage usage. But I cannot find any configuration in the settings.
Mine is working fine with the SD card, but I think you can't install apps directly on it with 6.0

The system must ask you if you want to use it as internal storage or as a conventional sd card as soon as you insert the card..... Maybe huawei didnt implement that feature.

Reinstall
You can't move apps onto sd card...
The only option is to configurate your internal storage on sd but then you have to reinstall all your apps to have them on your sd card...
I've got the same problem with my Huawei Nova android 6.0

No way to move OBB folder to SD Card root device FF IX and more.

I got an ascend mate 7, and I've been using a lot of apks to move that OBB folder to the SD card and I can't make it work not even with rooted device. Now I bought chaos of ring III and I couldn't even installed it because FF IX is using all my internal memory not even with folder mount I can't use it... and several apks to move that folder and make some space in the internal memory.
Does the SD required anything special? any format 2 partition, I don't know.
Thanks guys in this case I'm a little bit desperate, I hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks.
No way to make it work so sad..
Well. There is an option on the mate 7 which you can choose where do you want the phone to write. I have chosen the external memory. You don't have to be root to do this. I also have installed heavy games like final fantasy 9(3gb). And many more. Just look for that option on storage.
---------- Post added 17-05-2016 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 16-05-2016 at 11:59 PM ----------
If you choose external memory as your writable disc. All the games data and obb will go to the external. I have a 64gb card running heavy games with no problem.
But if you chose external memory everything will go there and I don't want that.
I went to apk and I moved it to SD card already but it doesn't change anything. I mean it moves the apk that's all. 32mb.
Any other option idea or something?
Thanks.
Well that's the only way to move data and obb.... To the sd as far I know... Also with link to sd pro... But you have to make a partition on the sd. That should help.
