I have a stock Z5 and I want to set up my SD card as adaptive storage.
I found some guides online that said I can do it over ADB.
Type "adb shell"
Once you're connected to your device : "sm list-disks"
This will return the ID of your sd card.
Now, if you want the whole sd card to be shared type "sm partition disk:ID private"
If you want your sd to be partitionned type "sm partition disk:ID mixed:%"
(replace ID with your own card ID and % with the STANDARD stockage percent you want on your sd card)

So I followed it and it seemed to work. It did let me format it as adaptive storage. Twice. Once I had the whole SD card as adaptive storage and once just half of it. And when I go to the storage setting on my device it all looks good.
But when it comes to installing apps on it or moving them there it does not work properly and they just seem to stay on my internal storage.
Has anyone got this working? What am I doing wrong?

did you try formatting your sd card via a card reader or something? did you customize your phone at all?
Nop..didn't modified or change anything at all.But if i format the sd card and directly put it in the phone does it will directly convert to ext4 or format that the phone needed or do i need to anything after format the sd card??
The problem was with the camera that in the setting menu to save picture switch to sd-card but cannot it just shows the phone(in grey colour) can't select to sd-card.
formatting to et4 only affects the internal sd, not the external. if you're trying to put photos on the external but it's not working, that's why I asked if you tried formatting.
since you say you've done nothing, take it to sammy and they'll look at it since it's under warranty
You checked the second tab of the settings screen if the saving options is available or grey out at least ?
Hi folks,
I have an SD card here that I was using for Adopted Storage but I've managed to get it stuck as an "adopted" card and can't seem to get it back functioning as a normal SD card
Long story short... I wiped the device the card was in but I didn't "unadopt" the SD card before hand - as in set it back to portable mode. While the device could recognise there was an SD card afterwards, it couldn't prepare it for use and suggested a card error or something to that effect.
I figured I'd just pop it in my laptop (Windows 10 x64) and re-format it but this didn't work. Failing this, I decided I'd "nuke" it using Minitools Partition Wizard. While this program had better luck identifying the card, could display and delete the partitions on it and could run the Wipe task - it had no effect on the card... the partitions just re-appear after any attempt to nuke them!
Has anyone any ideas about how I can restore this card back to a normal FAT formated SD card?
Just to clarify - I don't care for the data that might be on it... I just want the card back usable
Thanks
Recovering an "Adopted" SD Card?
The best solution for now would be to plug the sd card into a phone with android 6.0 so that the phone can read the card and then while setting it up,you can format the card as "normal "(the part where it asks you whether to use the card as in adaptive storage or for accessing files).

When I try this, I get "Unsupported SanDisk SD card"
I'm then asked to select either Portable or Internal and then Erase & Format but neither work. They fail at 20% and the message "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" is shown again
I'm a bit stumped. I thought surely the encryption used on adopted cards was only to stop external reads. It seems in this case it's stopping me from writing to or formating the card
Running out of options
In storage settings, there is a "Default location" setting of either internal or SD card. What happens if I set it to SD card? Will all files be moved onto the SD card and use the internal flash as the secondary storage? Or will only NEW files be placed on the SD? I just installed a new 128GB mSD card but like to know how the phone will behave before switching to mSD card as default. I assume the internal storage will always be faster than SD so I may not want everything go into SD.

It doesn't move everything to your SD card only new thing you install.
I have found that with a big SD card the phone takes a while to sort it's self out when you start it up.
Other than that it's no different
Code:
pm get-install-location
Results :
0 - auto
1 - internal
2 - external
Code:
pm set-install-location [I]{0 or 1 or 2}[/I]
For this you must have root
I don't have the option to select the MicroSD, it's already formatted inside the phone but it says I already created a user...
I need help with this, i know Color os not let user to use sd card as portable storage, and have no option in the Phone.
But there is a method that let you set your external sd as a portable internal storage with adb in computer, i already test this method and the sd card already mounted with internal storage, but when i check it on setting>additional setting>storage, my internal storage stay in number like before..
I try on my other phone, and it's work, with my xperia z2, from 16gb to 64gb..
Can someone explain this??:crying::crying:
