There is no adoptable storage for the z3 on marshmallow. Sony in there wisdom have decided we don't need it. However, the current android n preview does have adoptable storage al be it a little buggy.

Yes, tested Android N and adoptable storage, but it lost my SD twice in 2 days and and a factory reset was needed to get it working again.

Is it possbible to fully backup a rooted S7 with adotpable storage for Odin upgrade?

Hi,
I have a SM-930f, stock rom with SuperSU and adoptable storage enabled. Furthermore, I forced to move apps that aren't flagged for installation on the SD card (like all Oculus sore stuff) to the adopted SD with APP2SD tools.
Is it possbile to fully backup the device, do the upgrade to the Nougat beta, root again and restore all user-installed apps to the adopted storage?
Thanks for your help.

SD Card As Adoptable Storage + WhatsApp On S7 + Nougat (7.0)

I was wondering if anyone has been able to mount their SD card as internal (adoptable) storage on 7.0 (Nougat) and moved WhatsApp so the media folder is on the SD card?
I want to do this cause the S7 only has 32 GB of internal storage and I get so many pictures/videos in WhatsApp that every day I have to delete media off the internal storage.
I tried that developer mode option to allow all apps to move to SD and that let me move the WhatsApp app to SD but it kept the media folder on the internal storage.

Found a solution myself
Another alternative to consider is an Xposed module called XInternalSD. Provided your S7 has root access and you've flashed the latest unofficial Xposed Framework compatible with Nougat, you'll be able to install apps like WhatsApp onto your SD card with ease, as well as store the .obb files of games. However, at the present time having Xposed Framework installed means that your phone will not pass Google SafetyNet, thus you'll lose access to Android Pay and the ability to download certain apps from the Play Store e.g. Super Mario Run & Fire Emblem Heroes. Magisk is currently unable to hide the presence of Xposed.

Adoptable Storage Please help!

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.

Internal storage problem

I have redmi 3s with fork LOS 17.1,
Have flashed numeral custom roms, at some point i noticed that there is no internal storage on file manager or on pc when i connect it via usb, just sdcard.
In screenshot you can see the file managers folder tree.
Also, i installed ex file explorer n it show's sdcard as internal storage, no real internal though.
I guess i setup sdcard as internal (adapted) storage through twrp...
Can i change that? And will i be able to use sdcard for installing apps after that? I will change rom to dot os 5.1.3 soon.
Installing an app on external SD-card only is possible if app's developer granted it. So the answer is: may be possible.
You can force applications to adapt to being moved to SD card but you have to enable that option in Developer Options. It's not really that stable and I had lots of problems with that. You may end up losing some applications randomly.
