Hi,
I am searching a way to make my 64GB micro sd Card add up to my 8GB Internal Storage. So that i can do everything on one Storage and not have to use app2sd or etc.
My stats:
Galaxy Tab E SM-T560
Dot Os with Android 7.1.2
Rooted with Magisk
Verbratim microSD 64Gb
XPosed installed.
I do not want the in built Android way because then it is still two sepperate storages.
What can i do?
Best Thanks
Rydeg
IMO you have to use Android's built-in Adoptable storage feature if it's supported

Why do I have to isn´t there a workaround to force the sdcard to add up the internal storge because for example if i move apps to the sdcard the xposed moduls do not work.
I would like to have one 64+8=72GB storage in which everything works.
If you tell Android to use external SD-card as Adoptable storage then the amount of GBs you define becomes an extension to phone's internal storage memory. So what's your problem?

I tried it but then I have to move all the apps to external storage and when i move them the icons on the homescreen dissapear on boot. And if I move Xposed the modules I dowloaded do not work anymore they only work in the system storage.
And in the settings it shows as 2 different Storages
And I want that it shows as one internal storage is that possible?

Hi everyone,
My Galaxy Ace Plus is my first Android phone, and since I bought it several months ago I was confused because I found 3 memory locations on my device: the Internal Storage, USB Storage, and the External Memory card that I added.
I can't really understand what the USB Storage is?
In fact I made a factory reset few days ago as the device was freezing a lot, and it asked me whether I want to format the USB storage or not, stating that if I chose to format it I will lose all my music and pictures and other files. So I became more confused because all my media files, ebooks, etc. are placed in the External Memory card! so why it would consume space of both storage locations!!
can anyone explain that please?
Also what will I lose if I formated the USB Storage only? would it improve the device performance anyway?
Thanks!

Internal storage , Usb storage & SD storage
internal storage is the one reserved for system, i.e 1.5 GB on Note, or in another words it is the flash memory of the device. It stores the components of ROM or the ANDROID OS. Applications get installed on this memory.
USB storage is the rest of the original storage on Note (i.e around 9.5 GB). In common language an Internal Memory where all your files are saved by default. This memory is used by most of the applications for storage of their data.
Most of the move2sd apps move apps from internal to SD Storage which means the USB Storage.
external SD Card storage, on the other hand, is the storage which relies on another SD Card put into the phone, e.g....external SD Card.
That's before you put external SD card..
If you put another SD Card in the phone, it will read as external SD Card. In the file system, it is known as external_sd.
Now, the answer to your next question.. Formatting the USB Storage of the phone is simply formatting your internal memory. It has nothing to do with PERFORMANCE. it just makes space available on your device's internal memory. :good:
Thanks a lot!

Thanks! now I got it :good:
As you can see in the attachment, it is very problematic for me, I do not understand why I am not able to use the device storage and why everything that I download goes to internal storage, is my device storage actually just RAM?? It makes installing apps nearly impossible and I keep getting constant reminders that I have low memory

Use Total Commander as file manager. It will give you a better overview
Your apps are stored on the internal storage. Thats only about 1GB. Internal and external SD CARD can not be used to install apps on it. For using SD CARD to store apps use Link2SD. For using Link2SD you will have to spli8t one of your sc cards. Must beformated as followed:
1. partition Fat32
2. partition Ext4
Both partitions must be primary. Use Partition Wizard to prepare your sd card.
When I check the storage options, it shows System Storage, Memory Card, and External Storage. I have a 16 GB micro SD and I want to move my apps and app data to my SD card but can't figure out the difference between Memory Card and External Storage.
Does anyone know what the two types of storage mean? Which one is my actual SD Card?
Thanks!

You need to say what version of Android you are on and what company your stylo came from sprint/ tmobile/ etc

I don't have tmobile, but I'm going to answer and any tmobiles out there can correct me if I'm wrong. External is actually your phone's left over internal ram and memory card is your sd card.

I'd wager that System Storage is the /system partition. Memory Card would be internal storage, and External Storage is your removable sdcard.
Also, you should move your apps to your sdcard in Settings > Storage & USB or setup adoptable storage.
Hello everyone, i have a memory card of 16Gb (transcend class 10) and i partitioned it into two parts. So that i can use a partition as internal storage for installing apps in Marshmallow Roms. The problem is when i select a partition to be formatted as internal storage both the partitions get merged. How can i use the two partitions seperately? How can i use one partition for installing apps and another partition for keeping media?
(Pardon me if i posted in the wrong place. As I'm a noob in XDA)

i try out this method to SPLIT the SD CARD BETWEEN ADOPTED INTERNAL STORAGE AND PORTABLE EXTERNAL STORAGE.
it work. just follow the instruction on this website :http://blog.sam.liddicott.com/2016/...roidlessons.com/how-to-move-...0-marshmallow/
if you face the problem of adb devices no unauthorized . please follow the solution given here :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...e-unauthorized
thank for pengkoh1

I have a question.
I have a Sony Xperia L.
I'm using the CM 12.1.
I think of migrating CM13 is because of adoptable storage.
Now I have 1.57 GB of internal memory, 4GB internal storage (SD0) and a Micro SD Class 10 with 8 GB.
As I have many applications installed. While using "Move to SD card" easily fill the internal memory (1.57 GB).
I think turn SD 0 in "adoptable storage", would solve all my problems and not create others.
1) Micro SD (SD1) continue to be FAT32. So could continue putting my pictures and music. No problem. When you want to install new ROMs would not need format my SD Card.
2) The "adoptable storage" will be inside the unit, the same unit of physical memory to the internal memory, with the same safety and speed, without the risk of being removed accidentally.
The "adoptable storage" is operation with 3 stesps:
- Partitioning,
- Formating,
- Encript...
Is possible
I ask: is it possible to use SD 0 as "adoptable storage"? How to make?
It is possible to do by ADB with the Android, only format and encrypt the partition that is indicated and "adopt".
Sorry my bad English.
Hello, is there any way to use the internal storage and the SD Card as internal storage at the same time? Thanks

Yes, my mistake, I'm talking about adopted storage. My issue is that in my phone I have an option to move files to the internal storage despite the fact that I'm using adopted storage.

I'm sorry... What's the problem? When you adopt the storage, go to Settings - Storage and tap the 3 dot menu, migrate all to SD card.
You can always move apps back, but after migration then the SD card is the "primary" storage point. Just how it works.

What I mean is that despite the SD card being the primary storage, the phone gives me the option to move the files from the SD card to the internal storage, and I don't know if that means that I can use the internal storage for file storaging
In the first screenshot you can see that inside Settings>Storage>Internal Storage I have the option to migrate data from the SD card to the internal storage, and inside that option (second screenshot) it says that by doing that I can free 8.25 Gb by moving files from the SD card to the internal storage. That made me think that I can still use the internal storage for something more than apps

No... There are still 2 distinct areas, adopted storage doesn't work exactly the way you think. Sorry, just getting on a plane or I would explain more.
