External SdCard does not work as additional storage does not allow me to move the applications do I need a magisk module or something? Device: Xiaomi Note 7 Android:11
Adoptable Storage feature converts external storage to internal storage ( read: formats it accordingly ), means it becomes inseparable part of / extends Android's internal /data partition.

I'm a little confused about how the Captivate storage is structured. Can someone clarify this for me?
The phone has internal storage and external storage. The external storage is straight forward so we can ignore that.
The internal storage is broken down into:
1. Internal SD card (~13.5 GB capacity)
2. Internal phone storage (~2GB capacity)
These are logical partitions of the same internal SD card (physical NAND storage) correct?
On a stock phone all of the OS and App data is stored on the "Internal phone storage" in separate folders?
Mimocan's lagfix works by moving the App data to a partition on the "External SD card"?
The EXT2 lagfix works by creating a new partition out of the "Internal SD card" which acts as a buffer between the OS and App data? (I think my understanding is definitely wrong here.)
60 views and no thoughts?
There are a bunch of partitions on the internal memory. The ext2 lag fix works my creating an image of a partition and then mounting it via loop back device. The mimocan variant for the Captivate mounts an ext2 or ext3 partition and symlinks to it, or its just mounted as the target directory, I haven't checked.
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!

I have a Oneplus 2 device which has 64GB internal memory but no external SDcard slot. I need to run an application "Citrix Receiver" which obligatorily requires SDcard to perform certain functions. I tried to search for it here in XDA but I only got tutorials for making SDcard work as internal memory but not the other way around. So is there any way I can make a small partition of my internal memory and make it act like SDcard??
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?
I have enabled adoptable storage on smartphone with root essentials app, but now I cannot flash in TWRP 3.2.1-0, ZIP files are not displayed in explorer.
I appreciate any help!
Once external SD-card got converted to Adoptable Storage it became ( encrypted ) part of phone's internal storage memory, means it is no longer accessible as external storage memory.

It is not possible to flash, not even via the ADB option, this problem started after I made the adoptable storage. Is it possible to reverse the process without erasing the smartphone data?
