Enable Android "adoptable storage" if not provided by manufacturer? - General Questions and Answers

My Lenovo M10 TB-X505F tablet has Android 10 but (unless I'm just looking in the wrong place) Lenovo has not enabled adoptable storage. Is there any way to enable adoptable storage, short of installing a different ROM that has it enabled? I haven't rooted the device yet, but would be happy to do so if it would provide adoptable storage. (I'd even be happy to install an alternative rom, but as far as I can tell there haven't been any developed for this device.)

Encryption: Encrypting SD Card in Android 4.4.2 using ADB?

Hello all,
I have a China-made ORDRO SW16 Android device. It runs Android 4.4.2 and has a Mediatek MT6572 CPU and supports Internal Storage Encryption, which I have enabled.
Since the device is small (1.5" screen), it runs a cut down Settings App, and it's missing a lot of pages even though the phone should support it. I want (need) to also encrypt my SD Card. I was wondering if there is an ADB command to encrypt the external SD Card.
I've tried searching on Google (it only has the command for the Internal Storage, which I already have encrypted) and the forums, nothing...
Alternatively, I could root the device and install the AOSP Settings app. Would that be advisable?
I thank you for the help in advance.

Z3 Marshmallow Beta - Adoptable Storage Disabled by Sony?

Please, someone help me understand if it is true or not.
For those who is trying beta Marshmallow (not concept), is that true that Adoptable Storage (Internal Storage) was disabled by Sony?

There is adoptable storage.
For me it is disabled. I have not been able to activate it either using ADB commands...

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.

Are Android 5.1.x users still unable to use SD storage as internal storage without?

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.

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.
