I have an HP Pro Slate 8 with 16GB internal storage. HP's last ROM update was for 5.1.1. I've not yet been able to find a suitable rooting solution, so I'm stuck with HP's ROM (and all the bloat that came with it). Last time I checked - a couple of years ago - we were unable to use external storage as if it was internal storage. I just wondered if that's still the case? I'd really like to stop running in to low-storage issues every other week...!
You mean adoptable storage, it's exclusive on Android 6.0.x or higher, Android 5.x.x doesn't have mentioned feature.

1. Can someone add an android x86 section because whenever i have a question or something i have no clue where to go
2. How can you add more memory to an android x86 because i have a 250 GB hardd drive and no other operating system except kitkat and i only got 9 apps installed and I'm already out of space and they aren't even big apps, when I was installing it I gave it the most memory i could (2048 MB iif I recall correctly), is there any way of using my availiable hard drive space as like an sd card
3. Since kikat removed the ability to move apps to the sd card how can i do that

Hi,
I have the 8Gb version of the Galaxy J5 (SM-J500Y) and am experiencing the same problem of low internal memory that everyone else seems to be. I have a 64Gb micro SD but my computer is not recognising an SD card in the built-in SD card reader (nor does it recognise the internal camera but that's a separate issue- since windows 10 upgrade)
After doing a little research, I think I understand that MiniTool Partition Wizard should see the SD card when USB linked if it is first rooted (I could be wrong). Other option is I could go buy a card reader or get the reader working. Tips welcome.
Either way it needs to be rooted before I can use Link2SD. As I understand it, I can root the thing, but only from Android 5.1.x builds. I tried rooting it from Android 6.1 and killed it. Was able to resuscitate it with the Kies App, but can only recover it to the latest Android (6.1)... so I end up at square one: unrooted and not able to root.
How do I get it working in Android 5.1.x so I can root it? How can I partition the SD card (preferably by getting the internal reader working)? And then which is the best ROM to flash? I'm leaning toward the Cyanogenmod 12.1 I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468830 mostly because it seems stable and lite.
Help please. TIA
Anyone?
Even a little help to get me started would be awesome...
So I have been using adoptable storage for sometime now. On my Moto G 2015 I have had both a marshmallow rom and currently I am running Aospa 7.1.2 or something and again I need to use the adopted storage because of severe lack of space. And it works well for the most part. I do run out of storage still because some apps like to hide crap on what used to be internal storage but does not show up with a non root file manager. What I am looking for is an explanation of how android decides what gets saved where. Where did internal storage go? How do I still run out of space when apps should be saving data to my sdcard. I need a good explanation please go as detailed as possible I will look up crap I don't understand. Thanks.
Hiya,
I have an old Lenovo A7000, which only has got 8Gigs of internal memory and 2Gigs or RAM, on that about 3.5 Gigs occupied by the OS.
I would like to install a lightweight OS on it, like installing a lightweight linux distribution. I new to this area, I have experience customizing and installing desktop kenels.
I need an OS which is bloat-free an minimal.
Could you recommend a lightest possible ROM/kernel, in terms of storage and RAM I can install on the mentioned phone.
Also, if I can install apps to SD card too, that would be fantastic.
Thank You.
All of my Note II's storage is being taken up by newer versions. It has about 15 gigabytes of RAM storage, which is all being taken up by the system (likely still not enough), however I do own a 128gb SD Card, and I would like to know if I can combine both of the storages FOR THE SYSTEM FILES like RAID. I know that I can do this with media files, however I'd like to be able to do this with system files. Currently it runs Lineage 14.1 because it has just enough storage for Android 7 for functionality (without GApps and most apps crashing quickly), and LineageOS 16/Android 9 (compliled for Note II) doesn't run at all. So, would it be possible to use an SD card for system files?
I doubt that the Galaxy Note II has
1. 15 GB RAM -> 2 GB will be true
2. the "Adoptable Storage" feature what allows the Android OS to format an external storage media as permanent internal storage is built-in: Samsung typically doesn't support this feature, that was introduced with Android 6, by default.

I didn't mean RAM, typo, I meant storage
